Chapter 286: Chapter 63: The Five Sects (5000 more)_3

Shen Fu thought carefully.

Without a hint of hesitation, Wang Ba immediately said:

“We should avoid it and move on immediately.”

“Agreed!”

Immediately, Wang Ba and Shen Fu adjusted their course and swiftly bypassed it in the direction opposite to the Formation.

What they didn’t know was…

At the very moment they were leaving the Formation…

Inside the formation…

In a huge water curtain, the figures of Wang Ba and Shen Fu departing stood out.

In front of the water curtain, a dozen Class II Incense Fire Dao Cultivators let out a sigh of relief.

These folks quickly started conversing.

“Why are there other Cultivators here?”

“No idea. Could they be Rogue Cultivators?”

“We haven’t exposed ourselves, have we?”

“The divine tool is of utmost importance. If we’re exposed and the Divine Envoys find out, we’ll be in trouble!”

“We shouldn’t have been exposed. With a Class III Formation in place, two Class II Cultivators definitely couldn’t have detected us. But why haven’t the Divine Envoys sent us a message yet? When do we need to deliver the divine tool?”

“Who knows… Let’s just keep waiting. Maybe the Divine Envoys are so powerful that they don’t need to use the divine tool and could easily capture Tianmen Cult on their own?”

“Perhaps…”

In the water curtain, the figures of the two men shrank rapidly, before completely disappearing.

However, outside the water curtain…

Wang Ba and Shen Fu were rapidly moving past mountains, forests, grasslands, cities, and villages.

There were signs of human activity and animals, yet amidst these seemingly chaotic scenes there arose an eerie uniformity.

One moment ago, all the chimneys were silent. But as soon as it turned Noon, all the houses began releasing smoke from their chimneys simultaneously.

It’s as though some force was prompting the mortals to stop their work at the same time, kindle the firewood, start cooking, causing the smoke to rise simultaneously.

This strange uniformity sent an inexplicable chill running down the spines of Wang Ba and Shen Fu.

“This is the Incense Fire Dao – once people become followers of these odd gods, they become like marionettes, providing an endless supply of faith to these strange deities, in addition to their own survival.”

Wang Ba recalled the large amount of information he had gathered from the Incense Fire Dao Cultivator’s Soul Search, and couldn’t help but remark.

Shen Fu’s face turned grave.

Compared to the Incense Fire Dao, the Tianmen Cult seemed much kinder.

Though they did perform human sacrifices, at least they didn’t dare do it openly. However, the Incense Fire Dao was the complete opposite – treating the entire nation’s mortals like livestock, offering them as sacrifices to the Cultivators and deities of the Kingdom of Immortals.

Seeing this, the mood of Wang Ba and Shen Fu grew somber.

Two days later…

The duo finally crossed the southern region of the Chen State and successfully made their way into the southwest territory.

The camp of East Saint was getting closer.

And the further north they ventured, the more encounters they had with Incense Fire Dao Cultivators.

They even ran into a person from the Tianmen Cult.

Wang Ba didn’t get close as he couldn’t be sure if this person was a real Tianmen Cult Cultivator or someone who had been possessed.

However, this made Wang Ba realize that they must be very close to East Saint’s base.

“Snap.”

With his Mana, Shen Fu casually crushed a Class I Incense Fire Dao Cultivator into a puddle of flesh and bone.

Wang Ba didn’t pay much attention to this and frowned instead.

He had just asked this Incense Fire Dao Cultivator and found out that the last city in their planned route—Yushui City—had been occupied by the Incense Fire Dao.

And not far from Yushui City, was Mengxing Villa, which had been rebuilt a few years ago. Now, it too had become a gathering place for the Incense Fire Dao.

Wang Ba was somewhat familiar with both these places.

His first mission outside had been at Mengxing Villa, and later, he followed Bai Yu to Yushui City.

It was on this trip that he managed to resurrect Zhao Feng, who encouraged him to comprehend the Mutiny of Dragon-Snake.

“So, making our way through Mengxing Villa and Yushui City may not be as easy as we thought.”

“The final barrier, it seems we’ll have to push through by ourselves.”

Wang Ba studied the map, silently considering the direction in his mind.

According to the Cultivator he had interrogated, there were over thirty Foundation Establishment Cultivators in Yushui City, with countless more Qi Refining Cultivators.

To charge through Yushui City would be extremely difficult.

His gaze incidentally swept across a location on the map, situated between Mengxing Villa and Yushui City, making Wang Ba pause.

“Yutang Mountain?”

In a flash, he recalled that about nine or ten years ago he had sent a Human Puppet to deliver a mortal to Mengxing Villa. They had inadvertently passed this area, and had recorded images of twenty to thirty ‘Thousand God Trees’.

“Thousand God Trees… this place must also be guarded by members of the Incense Fire Dao.”

“The distance from here to Mengxing Villa is roughly two hundred and some li, while to Yushui city it’s about three hundred li… if I were to attack this location, the Cultivators of the two places would likely rush to reinforce upon hearing the news.”

“In such an occasion, if I can seize the opportunity…”

Wang Ba’s eyes suddenly shone!

The more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. He promptly began discussing the plan with Shen Fu.

“The only worry is, we don’t know the strength of the Cultivators in this area. But considering the Tianmen Cult and the Incense Fire Dao are currently engaged in conflict, there probably won’t be anyone particularly powerful here. Otherwise, it would be quite the waste.”

Shen Fu agreed with a nod.

Having confirmed their plan and route, the two immediately set off towards Yutang Mountain.

This time, they did their best to conceal their presence to avoid alerting the people of the Incense Fire Dao and revealing their intentions.

Nevertheless, there were a few occasions where they had almost been discovered.

Luckily, they had good fortune, and ultimately managed to arrive at Yutang Mountain unnoticed.

However, upon looking around, they didn’t find any Thousand God Trees. Instead, they saw overgrown weeds scattered around the mountain gap – it was completely ordinary.

The only exception was the intricately scattered hot springs gushing forth.

Other than that, it was no different from any other barren mountain.

“It’s a formation!”

Shen Fu said, his eyes sparkled.

Wang Ba was not surprised.

Yutang Mountain was very close to the Tianmen Cult, and considering it was growing Thousand God Trees, it was only natural for them to exercise caution and set up a formation.

“Can you break it?”

With a serious expression on his face, Shen Fu silently asked the monstrous voice in his heart.

Soon, Shen Fu nodded, “Brother, I will need your help to break the formation!”

With that, he took out a number of nails and quickly set them up.

Before long, at Shen Fu’s command,

Wang Ba infused all of his Mana into the nails that had been hammered into the ground.

“Rise!”

As soon as his words fell, each of the nailed locations suddenly revealed array flags!

Quickly, the Formation disappeared!

On the originally barren grassland of the mountain gap, one could now see uncolored water globules held by the lush green leaves of the straight trees.

“This is Divine Dew!”

“The Thousand God Tree!”

At the side, a disheveled Cultivator wearing red clothes looked up at Wang Ba with a baffled expression.

He seemed a bit slow to react.

Whereas the barefoot female Cultivator under him, couldn’t help but scream…

At the same time,

Outside Zhongyuan City.

In the camp, Zheng Yuanhua, who was dealing with affairs, suddenly changed his expression!

“Not good! There’s an issue with the Thousand God Tree!”
