Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant-Chapter 2404 - 204: Inherited Treasure
"Cheng Lianzi, you!"
The six middle-stage Crossing Tribulation cultivators, blocked by the Demon Ape, were all visibly angered upon hearing Cheng Lianzi’s words!
He joined hands to eliminate the True Man Taiyi, and yet he was the first to betray them, even chastising them for not recognizing the times!
The fury of betrayal was stifled in their chests, unable to be vented.
But what followed closely was a fear from the depths of their hearts!
The images of True Man Taiyi effortlessly dispelling Cheng Lianzi’s attack filled their minds, leaving them astonished, doubtful, fearful, and envious:
"This True Man Taiyi might really be the one who appeared during the Cloud Sky Realm battle back then!"
"Who would have thought he could escape from the Northern Great Bodhisattva’s grasp... It is said that over twenty monks of middle-stage Crossing Tribulation couldn’t defeat him, and instead were easily shattered by him, with no remains left!"
"Luckily, we just didn’t engage with him..."
"But how could the Yin Family be entangled with such a figure?"
"The Yin Family really has such luck!"
No time for more words; the Demon Ape charged again, and the two sides resumed their battle. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
As for the Yin Family member, amidst all this chaos, besides leading the way and shouting ’Careful,’ was utterly overwhelmed by ecstatic emotion!
If he dared not think in this direction before Taiyi Tributor smashed Cheng Lianzi’s offensive, then when Cheng Lianzi wielded the Mahayana Relic yet was still defeated, if he still couldn’t confirm, he’d really be just muddling through all his years as Yin Ruins’ Taoist Master.
"Taoist Friend Taiyi really is the legendary True Man Taiyi!"
"But he clearly was only a Unification cultivator when he first came..."
Surprised, joyful, and doubtful simultaneously, because such astonishing progress in just a few hundred years was beyond belief, even now he was still doubting it.
"Unless, he was actually a Crossing Tribulation cultivator at the beginning, but due to some circumstances his realm fell, showing the Unification status... Now he’s merely restored to his original realm?"
A myriad of thoughts in his mind, pondering over and over, only this possibility seemed most reasonable, and he felt he had most likely guessed the truth.
Not to mention the shock in everyone’s hearts present.
Wang Ba narrowed his eyes slightly, looking over the firelight at the slightly stiff-faced Cheng Lianzi, with a faint smile, leisurely said:
"To swear fealty to me, one must act."
Cheng Lianzi had already spoken, feeling the angry gazes of cultivators around him, although helpless, he still had to bite the bullet and said:
"True Man Taiyi commands, none dare disobey!"
Wang Ba laughed and clapped his hands:
"Very well, go and take down the Tianshang Buddha Lord."
Cheng Lianzi’s expression instantly froze, his eyes widened involuntarily:
"True Man, I..."
"Haha, just joking."
"Sect Leader Cheng, no need to take it to heart."
Wang Ba laughed loudly, waved his sleeve, and the fire in front of him suddenly flew into the distant empty void, where it ignited the space through which it passed...
Feeling the intensity of the fire, Cheng Lianzi was aghast, dared not speak much, yet forced a stiff smile, replied:
"Yes, yes, the True Man is right, ah no, I did not take it to heart..."
Except for his youth, after so many years he had not been subordinate to anyone, now compromising was somewhat awkward, feeling rather embarrassed and indecisive.
At that moment, from afar came an enticing voice:
"Hehe... Would True Man Taiyi consider accepting your servant?"
Upon hearing this voice, Wang Ba shivered, turned to look, and saw a graceful figure flying towards him. It was Realm Master Sangkong from the Illusion Sky Realm, a young maiden with a habitually eerie smile, though if not for the unsettling smile, she indeed possessed charm.
But thinking of her age, perhaps older than the history of Wanxiang Sect, that so-called charm vanished instantly.
Wang Ba frowned slightly, his expression gaining some cold severity:
"Would Illusion Sky Realm submit?"
His aura imposing, the original graceful demeanor changed at once, commanding respect without anger.
With his current cultivation realm and the renowned fame from the Cloud Sky Realm battle, when his face cooled, Realm Master Sangkong couldn’t help but be frightened, her demeanor unconsciously corrected, with a hint of resentment and fear, she softly said:
"Yes, Sangkong... Illusion Sky Realm wishes to follow True Man Taiyi."
She wasn’t momentarily blinded by folly, but rather, since the last time she saw Wang Ba, she was captivated by his demeanor, charm, and character.
Now, within Zhang’s Ruins, every house was eager to move. Illusion Sky Realm’s strength ranked only mid-or lower, without ambition for dominance, destined to be assimilated, so better to choose a trustworthy force or individual, and being able to escape the Northern Great Bodhisattva’s grasp, this True Man Taiyi, whether in prowess or character, was evidently more reliable than other houses in the ruins.
With the support of the Yin Family, plus Illusion Sky Realm and Laowen Sect, they could be said to have become the largest force in the ruins.
As for his being an outsider to the ruins, it turned out not to be significant after all.
Just as he said initially, the forces in the ruins all had disputes, he, as an outsider, might indeed have the greatest chance to unite them.
Thoughts unspoken.
Wang Ba, however, didn’t mind these people’s thoughts.
Within Zhang’s Ruins, numerous forces were tangled and chaotic. If they were to be sorted out and reconciled for a consensus, it would consume enormous efforts, likely dragging oneself into this mire again, unable to extricate.
