Chapter 361: Chapter 14: Unexpected Events Continue_2

Zhang Yunlong from the Danlong School looked up and down at Wang Ba, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, as if he hadn’t expected Master Shen Fu, legendary as he was, to appear so ordinary.

However, he seemed to trust Wen Yong quite a bit, so he willingly entered the Sealing Array and gracefully descended, courteously saying:

“I have long heard of Master Shen Fu, and today I finally have the honor of meeting you. I am truly fortunate.”

“You’re too kind, Zhang,” Wang Ba replied with a soft smile.

Wen Yong and the other cultivators from the Danlong School also descended following Zhang Yunlong.

Seeing this, the people from the Huifeng Valley and the Xuli Sect hesitated before eventually descending as well.

With an uncertain expression on his face, the cultivator named Xu eventually waved his hand at Wang Tang’s hint, and the Xuli Sect cultivators who were guarding all sides instantly retreated and dissolved their formation.

With the gathering of the big three Sects, maintaining the Sealing Array was meaningless.

Wang Tang withdrew his gaze and looked at Wang Ba again.

Waves of emotions stirred within him.

Years of experience had given him unwavering confidence in his own insights.

He indeed had noticed that ‘Zhao,’ the man before him, was peculiar.

After probing, he was even more convinced that this man must have a significant connection with Zhao Wei from the Shanli’s Changyi Society, and even dared to speculate that this man might in fact be Zhao Wei.

But what Wang Tang hadn’t expected was that he, despite thinking that he had been daring enough, had still been somewhat conservative.

This ‘Zhao’ was none other than Master Shen Fu himself!

This had truly exceeded his expectations; he hadn’t thought that Master Shen Fu had appeared in front of everyone so early, nonchalantly hosting the Changyi Society gatherings several times, and even presiding over the Sacred Auction a few times.

Thinking about this, Wang Tang couldn’t help but admit, albeit reluctantly, that he had been blind. Master Shen Fu had indeed caught him out, using the strategy of disguise in plain sight.

“Most likely, it’s Wen Yong’s doing!” muttered Wang Tang, casting a glance at Wen Yong who had moved next to Master Shen Fu. A shadow crossed his eyes and he quickly pushed down the emotions brewing inside him.

He had lost his best opportunity to win over Master Shen Fu, and even his recent moves had resulted in conflict and mistrust between the two sides.

Regret was useless now; he had to find a solution immediately to regain some initiative.

Even if the Xuli Sect failed to win him over, they must at least ensure his neutrality. He must not be won over by the other two powers.

At this thought, a murderous intent began to surge in his heart.

If he were to kill Master Shen Fu at this moment, wouldn’t that prevent the other two powers from gaining him as well?

With his and Junior Brother Xu’s strength, killing an early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator would only take an instant.

As for the moment to act, opportunities were abundant at present.

After all, no one would believe that the people of the Xuli Sect would dare to act under so many people’s scrutiny; no one was on their guard.

Since they had already offended him, why not be a bit more ruthless.

This would prevent Shen Fu from becoming a liability to the Xuli Sect instead of becoming an asset.

After swiftly weighing his options, he immediately sent a message to Junior Brother Xu, revealing his entire plan.

Upon hearing this, Junior Brother Xu was taken aback. However, he trusted Wang Tang implicitly and quickly replied, saying:

“Rest assured, brother. Working together, we can certainly kill this Shen Fu!”

“Hmm, your Class III magic sword needs to gather strength, so hide it well,” Wang Tang instructed solemnly. “After we succeed, retreat at once. Inform Zhu Xian, Xie Xia, and Wu Wenrui… right now in preparation for escape!”

Junior Brother Xu hesitated, but eventually asked, “What about the other disciples? Once we kill Master Shen Fu, we can escape, but the disciples may bear the brunt of a retaliatory attack from the Danlong School and the Huifeng Valley people if they become furious…”

“They won’t die! As long as Zhang Yunlong hasn’t lost his mind, there shouldn’t be any issues. Even if there are, it would be a necessary sacrifice for the sect’s rise!” Wang Tang’s eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness.

“If necessary, even my own sacrifice would be acceptable.”

Upon hearing Wang Tang’s words, Junior Brother Xu couldn’t help but fall silent.

Although he was more advanced in cultivation than Wang Tang, he had always deeply admired him.

However, on this point, he didn’t fully agree.

Shouldn’t the ultimate goal of a cultivator be the pursuit of immortality?

Isn’t a sect just a place to cultivate and dwell? Sacrificing some time, energy, or even emotions is acceptable, but is the sect more important than one’s own life?

He could not bring himself to agree.

Of course, such a sacrifice had nothing to do with him. After a brief silence, he quietly replied, “Yes.”

After saying this, he promptly got in touch with the individuals Wang Tang had mentioned.

These individuals, either high in cultivation or rich in talent, were all valuable assets to the sect in Wang Tang’s view.

If the mediocres died, they died. But these people could not suffer any casualties.

So even though Wang Tang knew nothing was likely to happen at the moment, he still shared some information with them.

Quietly, all the Xuli Sect cultivators who had been notified began to subtly withdraw.

The cultivators around them remained oblivious, their eyes all focused on Master Shen Fu and Zhang Yunlong, who were engaged in animated conversation.

In the conversation, Zhang Yunlong occasionally broke into hearty laughter, Master Shen Fu often nodded in agreement with a smile, and Feng Bao would interject a word or two whenever he could, creating a warm and harmonious atmosphere.

In contrast, the Xuli Sect, who were supposed to be the main characters of this rounding up mission, seemed to fade into the background, unnoticed and forgotten.
