Harness Cultivator

Lao Ching's expression brightened up when he recognized this familiar yet authoritative voice belonged to.

"Guild Master!" Lao Ching quickly turned around and bowed while cupping his fist.

"Lao Ching, didn't I say not to call me guild master? Just call me Song Xiaoli." The guild master, Song Xiaoli reprimanded him.

Lao Ching nodded his head.

"I understand," Lao Ching said as he proceeded to send a mental transmission to her, explaining the basic gist of the situation.

'You're saying this person appeared out of nowhere and you are unsure of his prowess?' Song Xiaoli sent a mental transmission back and asked for clarification.

Lao Ching showed a dreadful expression as he explained what he felt when he saw Lee Tao.

Sometime later, Song Xiaoli waved her hand to dismiss Lao Ching.

She then walked forward and cupped her fist toward Lee Tao.

"My name is Song Xiaoli and I am the founder of the Raven Guild. For what reasons did we manage to provoke this fellow cultivator." Song Xiaoli asked politely.

Lee Tao shrugged his shoulders.

What was he going to say?

That he purposely came to them and tried to extort them.

"Nothing much, I simply wanted to mess with your Raven Guild because I have the power to do so." Lee Tao replied arrogantly.

"In the Sierra Desert, those with powers will naturally dominate others. Hence, I'm confident in my power and want to bully you."

Song Xiaoli twitched her mouth.

'What a goddamn lunatic…' She thought.

Meanwhile, Deng Lijuan raised an eyebrow in confusion.

"Master, why are you provoking some strangers?" She asked him in a low but subtle tone.

"Shush, these people are clearly adept in the Sierra Desert environment. This is a good opportunity for you to gain fighting experience and learn to use the environment to your benefit." Lee Tao explained his reasoning for doing so.

The explanation seemed logical and reasonable that Deng Lijuan was unable to find any fault in it.

A few seconds later, Song Xiaoli suddenly narrowed her eyes as she glanced at the East Side.

"Crap… A sandstorm!" Song Xiaoli yelled out.

And with her call, the Raven Guild quickly packed their stuff up as they hurriedly fled the scene.

Their action was so swift that Lee Tao didn't even have the opportunity to continue his phase.

"..."

Lee Tao wrinkled his brows as he turned around and glanced at the East Side.

And sure enough, there was a huge sandstorm occurring. Based on his calculation, the sandstorm would soon hit their area.

"What a great natural disaster!" Lee Tao cursed out.

"Da Mung, hurry up and follow after the Raven Guild. Surely, they must have a hideout to counter the sandstorm." He ordered.

With the sandstorm occurring, Lee Tao could only reluctantly put his plan on halt and have Da Mung bring them to safety first.

A sandstorm might not pose any danger to him, but it was definitely going to annoy and irritate him.

Sometime later, Da Mung managed to chase after Song Xiaoli, and the rest of her Raven Guild with ease.

Song Xiaoli clicked her tongue when she noticed they were being followed.

'Damn it, if only the sandstorm didn't occur, then they wouldn't have been able to follow after our hideout.' Song Xiaoli cursed silently.

Despite how unwilling she is to expose her hideout to a stranger, she had no choice but to do so given their current circumstances.

Thus, within a few minutes, Lee Tao and the rest managed to enter the secret hideout of the Raven Guild.

The hideout was a spacious environment with many weapons hanging on the side of the shelves. In addition to this, there was sufficient lighting and numerous rooms to accommodate many people.

However, the most impressive of the secret hideout was the formation that was laid out.

"6th Rank Spatial Defensive Formation… pretty impressive." Lee Tao praised as he inspected the formation runes.

Song Xiaoli became dumbfounded when Lee Tao managed to decipher their formation with a mere glance.

"H-How did you-"

"Oh please, this kind of formation is extremely common." Lee Tao cut her off before she could even ask him.

And he continued, "Although the imitation of the formation is pretty decent, it's still lacking something."

"What do you mean by lacking something? This formation cost us nearly a fortune to cast."

"That's why you people are so ignorant. The formation is barely functioning by itself because of the runes mark, but once the runes mark expires, the formation is as good as dead."

Song Xiaoli was thoroughly confused by his words because she wasn't familiar with nor an expert regarding formation.

Thus, no matter how much Lee Tao tried to explain, it would be proven futile.

"Whatever, since I'm going to be residing here, for the time being, I shall fix it. I have no wish to be hit by some sandstorm because of this broken ass formation." Lee Tao snorted coldly.

He then proceeded to walk forward and place his hand on the runes mark.

With his eyes closed, Lee Tao began overwriting the runes mark and reconstructing it.

As Lee Tao continued to work on the reconstruction, Song Xiaoli was alarmed by the changes going on at their secret hideout.

It wasn't just Song Xiaoli that felt the differences, but Lao Ching and the other Raven Guild members could also feel the changes.

After all, they have been residing in the secret hideout for so long and any new changes would be spotted by them.

Time slowly passed by, and Lee Tao finally opened his eyes with a calm expression.

"Phew, now the formation can be called perfect." Lee Tao exclaimed and retracted his hand from the rune's mark.

"Anyway, now that I fixed your formation, we would be getting our own room without any disturbance. As for the fighting that I mentioned before, it shall begin as soon as the sandstorm goes away."

Lee Tao then dragged Deng Lijuan and the other two females from the Dual Blossom Sect upstairs, acting like he was the owner of the hideout.
