Chapter 406: 30 Unforgiving Death_1
Wang Ba felt an uncontrollable desire slowly arise from the Spirit Temple in the center of his brow.
Under such desire, despite knowing it was somewhat dangerous, he still couldn’t help but soundlessly yell out once again:
“Come!”
With this cry, the feeling calling for him became even clearer, almost making it seem like he had received a response.
“In… there!”
Wang Ba’s gaze instinctively fell towards the depths of the palace.
He could feel it, that the thing calling for him, was right there!
Moreover, it seemed to have sensed his presence!
Just at this moment, a sense of extreme fear suddenly surged within his Spirit Temple!
Wang Ba was startled, and he quickly came back to his senses from his previous state of bewilderment.
He just had time to see Yuan Wenzhi, who had repeatedly claimed to protect him, standing not far in front of him, his face turning panic-stricken, before Yuan Wenzhi fled.
At the moment Yuan Wenzhi fled, a flash of white light instantly filled Wang Ba’s vision!
Wang Ba didn’t even have time to react.
Boom!
His entire body was sent flying by a massive force.
“Huh?!”
Zhang Daobai, who was in the midst of battling five golden core cultivators, instantly showed a look of surprise and confusion, and turned to Wang Ba:
“That is…”
In mid-air, Wang Ba, who had been knocked away, was enveloped by a dim light emitted from a purplish-red Fragrance Plaque on his body.
Outside this light, a flying sword was continuously moving to and fro, but it was unable to penetrate the light.
Soon, after sensing the aura on the Fragrance Plaque, Zhang Daobai seemed to recall something. His expression changed dramatically, shock, anger, and confusion flashed across his face, yet it also faintly displayed a trace of fear!
His emotion immediately caused a slackening in his grip, and the pressure lightened for the five golden core cultivators.
Taking advantage of the situation, the five of them quickly cooperated to extract themselves and maintained a standoff with Zhang Daobai from a distance.
However, they soon noticed something strange.
Zhang Daobai didn’t seize the opportunity to attack; instead, he was looking gravely at a cultivator floating in mid-air.
“Shen Fu?!”
Upon spotting the cultivator, all of them couldn’t help but show looks of astonishment, immediately recognizing his identity.
However, upon seeing that Zhang Daobai’s sword could only roam around his body without penetrating him, Lin Boyue and the others were instantly taken aback!
“How… How is this possible!”
“What magic tool is that?!”
“How… How could Shen Fu possess such a treasure?”
Even Lin Boyue, without the protection of a magic tool, had no confidence in his ability to withstand this nearly Class IV magical sword by himself for so long.
But this Fragrance Plaque, looking ordinary, easily kept the flying sword outside.
“Could it… be a Class IV treasure?!”
Upon guessing this, Lin Boyue and the others had their eyes filled with shock and bewilderment when they looked at Wang Ba.
Was Shen Fu really just a spiritual cook?
And not just them, Yuan Wenzhi, who had been paying close attention to the situation, was also deeply shocked.
He incredulously looked at Wang Ba.
“How could this be? He’s just a skilled spiritual cook, isn’t he? How could he have such a treasure?!”
Yuan Wenzhi was extremely puzzled.
Yet amidst his confusion, a fleeting flash of greed appeared in his eyes.
However, his attention was quickly drawn by Zhang Daobai’s words.
“You… lad, what is your relationship with that person… in the Linglong Ghost Market?!”
Zhang Daobai stared at Wang Ba, his face was dry like wood, showing no expression.
Yet, anyone could hear the gravitas in Zhang Daobai’s tone.
At this moment, Wang Ba, having already recovered from the initial shock of the attack, quickly examined his own body, only to discover, to his amazement, that he was unharmed!
He stared in shock at the plaque in front of him, and he couldn’t help but recall what Tang had casually said to him when he had given him the plaque – ‘for simple self-defence’ and ‘an average golden core cultivator wouldn’t be able to break through it’.
If he could see Tang now, he really would want to ask him, do you perhaps misunderstand what ‘simple self-defence’ and ‘average golden core’ mean?
At this moment, hearing Zhang Daobai’s question, even while feeling anxious, Wang Ba couldn’t help but quickly connect it to a rumor he had heard in the past.
It was said that Zhang Daobai once entered the Linglong Ghost Market and suffered a terrible defeat, barely escaping with his life. After this, he seldom left the Zhenling Palace.
Many speculated that he had likely encountered a formidable foe in Ghost Market and suffered severe injuries that were hard to recover from.
Looking at his reaction now, Wang Ba believes that this rumor was probably true.
The person Zhang Daobai encountered in the Linglong Ghost Market could very likely be Tang!
“So, it seems Master Tang must also be an Immortal Master of Nascent Soul… He hid it so well!”
Wang Ba had a moment of realization in his heart.
Of course, perhaps it wasn’t that the other party hid it very well, it was probably just that he hadn’t even thought about it.
However, now was obviously not the time for him to think wildly.
Facing Zhang Daobai, an Immortal Master of Nascent Soul, he knew that his next answer was extremely critical.
A single slip, and he might attract a devastating blow from the other party!
How long this Fragrance Plaque could last, he had absolutely no confidence.
Yet, at this moment, facing such tremendous pressure, his mind unexpectedly became calm as water in an instant.
With an utterly composed expression, Wang Ba looked up and posed a question in reply:
“What does Master Zhang think?”
Although his aura was incomparably humble compared to Zhang Daobai’s, whoever was staring at Wang Ba at this moment, including Zhang Daobai, couldn’t help but shrink back unconsciously!
