Chapter 236 - Ba Country’s Confidence
Chapter 236: Ba Country’s Confidence
“I guess that it will happen.”
Miao Yue looked at the Ba Country’s ghost qi and said softly.
There was a hint of laughter in her voice, as if she didn’t care if she was wrong or not.
“You are right.” The face in the black mist chuckled.
“But can Kunlun keep the ghost cultivators here?
“My Ba Country’s soldiers are made of steel and bones. The ghost aura can temper their body and the dismembered corpses can be reunited. I’ll give you one month. If your people could make all of them stay, my Ba Country can be considered to be defeated.
Oh right, your side is not allowed to let the experts participate. Oh I forgot that you humans are cunning. You don’t know how to abide by rules. But we don’t care either. If you don’t, we won’t keep to the rules either. Our Ba Country is simple and honest, but we are not people who will be easily bullied. ”
“It’s only a month.” Jiu Zhongtian took a sip of wine and said. “It seems that Ba Country is very friendly. I thought that you would make it at least ten years.”
“Hahaha.” The other party laughed.
“You guys have the brains. Over time, we’ll be finished and get done by your tricks. A game can’t be played for too long. We will lose if we play for too long. That’s how confident we are.”
The four summit leaders: “…”
It was indeed not suitable for them to fight Ba Country. They did not understand what these people were thinking.
Furthermore, the other party was indeed very strong. There was no way to question him.
As for who won and who lost in the game.
Those people below were responsible for it. The four of them could only watch from the side.
It was not yet observable what would be the end result.
…
…
At sunset.
Bei Fang came to the foot of the First Summit to wait.
At this moment, he was wearing an Eight Trigrams Daoist Robe and holding a long sword. His expression was solemn as if he had something urgent to deal with.
But he had no clue.
Not long after, Lin An of the Ninth Summit came to Bei Fang.
“Junior Brother, are you looking for me?”
He had suddenly received news that Bei Fang of the Second Summit was waiting for him.
When he came down and saw Junior Brother Bei Fang’s attire, he instantly thought that the other party was going on a mission.
“There are some things I need help with. The Second Summit might have a lot of people, but we’re not as skilled as the other summits.”
Bei Fang explained.
It was not a matter of manpower, but rather, there were some problems that had fallen into their blind spot.
Only by mixing the members of the various summits would they be able to make gains more quickly.
“Oh?” Lin An was quite surprised.
“Who else did Junior Brother call?”
“Senior Sister Hong Luan of the Third Summit, Senior Brother Lu Jian of the Eighth Summit,” Bei Fang answered immediately.
“Then let’s meet up first. You can explain later.” Lin An smiled warmly.
After that, the two of them went to the Third and Eighth Summits. The four people had all gathered together before the sun fully set.
“It’s rare for Junior Brother Bei Fang to invite me.” Hong Luan looked towards Bei Fang in surprise.
Under normal circumstances, Bei Fang would avoid them as far as he could.
After all, as the proud disciple of the Second Summit’s summit leader, Bei Fang knew a lot of things, including gossips.
Hence, many people would ask for information from him.
Because of this, he learned how to hide.
“Let’s talk as we walk.” Bei Fang began walking out. On the way, he began explaining the reason.
“Master went missing. I asked Third Summit’s Martial Uncle and First Summit’s Martial Uncle, but I didn’t get any useful answers. But they didn’t stop me from investigating this matter either.
I then discovered that the summit leaders of the Fifth and Eighth Summits are also not present in their summits. In the end, I went to the Ninth Summit. I didn’t see Junior Brother Jiang, but I didn’t see Martial Uncle from the Ninth Summit either.
I guessed that something might have happened to them. The summit leaders definitely know about this, but they did not pass the message down. It is very likely that they have reached a consensus with the powerhouses of another faction.
And those of us who do not know are the pawns. We are also the ones who will need to win the game.”
“Master has indeed disappeared for a few days. There’s no news of him either.” Lu Jian thought for a moment and asked.
“Does Junior Brother Bei have any specific guesses?”
Lin An and Hong Luan were a little surprised. They hadn’t noticed anything.
Junior Brother Bei was indeed the proud disciple of the Second Summit’s summit leader.
They looked to Bei Fang, waiting for his explanation.
“According to the situation around us in recent years, the most likely problem should be coming from Ghostland Ba Nation,” Bei Fang explained.
“A few years after the dragons left, the demons have already failed once in attacking. It is said that the Demon Race had come for the entrance to the Netherworld. Recently, the entrance to the Netherworld is still undergoing an eruption.
In theory, the demons are suspicious. After all, the Ninth Summit’s summit leader is also not around. However, there was nothing related to demons in the surrounding forest. On the other hand, there was a bit of pitch-black ghost qi, so it should be Ghostland Ba Country who acted.
Since it is a challenge, there must be traces left behind. Therefore, these ghostly auras are the clues.”
Lin An nodded before asking.
“It means that we need to find something amiss and see if we can find the source of the problem. That way, we can win against the enemy for the summit leaders? ”
“It feels like something out of a fantasy, but there is indeed something suspicious. It’s worth trying.” Hong Luan did not reject this mission.
“At most, it will just be the four of us who will lose face. Junior Brothers and Sisters, please keep this a secret,” Lu Jian said with a smile.
The other three nodded solemnly. After all, this was just a guess. They felt like they were fighting against the air.
But they could not just ignore it.
“Let’s go to some places with problems first. According to the news of some Junior Brothers and Sisters, some places have turned rather sinister,” said Bei Fang.
The others had no objections and moved as quickly as possible.
…
…
Jiang Lan left Kunlun before nightfall.
After leaving Kunlun, he activated his One Leaf Vision.
He did not want to be discovered or detected.
When investigating such things, staying hidden was naturally the most important thing.
Jiang Lan strolled through the forest. He didn’t fly on his sword as that would just make him an obvious target.
He looked around but did not see any sinister place.
None of the sinister places he had heard of had yielded any results.
If the ghost qi appeared, it should be easy to detect.
Of course, if the other party’s tactics were easily detected, then Kunlun would have made its move long ago.
Furthermore, since Xiao Yu could not detect that wisp of black aura, it should also not be easy for her to find it outside.
“Let’s go to the Ice Cicada Forest.”
Jiang Lan vanished on the spot and arrived at the Ice Cicada Forest in an extremely short amount of time.
Jiang Lan frowned the moment he arrived.
He could see that the area above the Ice Cicada Forest was somewhat uncoordinated, as if the force of collision had caused it to distort.
“There’s something wrong.”
But he did not know what the problem was.
Moreover, even if this place had some influence, it wouldn’t affect the Jade Pool. The source of the Jade Pool must be somewhere else.
“Let’s see if it connects to other directions.”
Jiang Lan arrived in front of the Ice Cicada Forest in a single step. He needed to find the difference here so that he could reverse engineer the source.
The Ice Cicada Forest was very large, but he did not know which side the problem was coming from. He had some understanding of array formations.
He also knew a lot about spell techniques.
But they were not very useful here.
Over the past two days, he had specially checked on Ba Country’s information.
He hoped that it was of some help.
However, Ba Country was not weak either. It was a famous expert in the Western Wasteland and even across the entire Grand Desolate World.
If it weren’t for the fact that this place was close to Kunlun, he would never have come to investigate or even try to kill them.
Because the other party’s strength far surpassed his, it would be difficult for him to return if he was careless.
There wouldn’t be any strong existences near Kunlun, and Kunlun wasn’t just for show.
Of course, with his current strength as an early-stage True Immortal, whether or not he could face Ba Country’s infiltration was another story.
He was already prepared to retreat if he could not win.
