Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant

Chapter 358: Chapter 13 Convergence of Three Parties_2

His figure was somewhat clumsy, with his clothes even torn to some extent.

Clearly, extricating himself from Feng Bao’s nine Wind Breaking Pearls was not an easy task.

“Senior Brother Wang…”

The cultivator surnamed Xu couldn’t help but appear surprised.

Wang Tang glanced at him, subtly shaking his head with a barely noticeable gesture, and communicated through a voice transmission:

“No further confrontation! Our primary purpose for this trip is to capture the cultivators of the Hundred Arts class!”

Hearing these words, the cultivator surnamed Xu reluctantly withdrew his Class III magic sword, despite the bitterness in his heart.

Wang Tang then turned his gaze towards Feng Bao, who was outside the ‘Sealing Array’.

Suppressing the anger that surged in his heart, Wang Tang said in an emotionless and stern voice:

“Feng Bao, our Xuli Sect has been allied with your Huifeng Valley for over a hundred years. I have maintained longstanding friendships with Master Zhou Ying and Master Li Hu from your valley. Yet, you attacked me. What is your intention?”

However, Feng Bao responded with a cold smile:

“Why bother with these platitudes when there’s no one else around?”

“Besides, shouldn’t you already understand my intent?”

“I’ve said it before. Hand over Master Shen Fu. If you cannot, then none of the people here shall leave either!”

Upon hearing Feng Bao’s words, both Wang Tang and the cultivator surnamed Xu inevitably furrowed their brows.

The cultivator surnamed Xu couldn’t help but blurt out:

“Feng Bao, are you out of your mind? Where did you get this Master Shen Fu from?”

Wang Tang didn’t respond.

Narrowing his eyes, he observed Feng Bao with increased scrutiny.

His attention had shifted away from Wang Ba below him.

Had it not been for Wang Ba’s association with this Master Shen Fu, he wouldn’t have wasted his breath on a mere early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Seeing Wang Ba’s response earlier also made him realize that this person most likely lacked any significant abilities in combat, and therefore could be easily subdued by him.

Thus, at this moment, he was not concerned with Wang Ba. Instead, his attention was focused on Feng Bao.

Hearing the words of the cultivator surnamed Xu, Feng Bao coldly chuckled:

“If Master Shen Fu is not here, then what are you here for?”

“This…”

The cultivator surnamed Xu seemed at a loss for words for a moment.

He immediately tried to cover up his uneasiness: “Um… These rogue cultivators… they all have issues. We are just taking them back for further investigation to prevent any Incense-burning Dao Cultivators from the Kingdom of Immortals from infiltrating us.”

“Kingdom of Immortals? Incense Fire Dao?”

Upon hearing these words, Feng Bao instantly revealed a scornful smile.

“Such an excuse only works on the gullible rogue cultivators.”

Everyone has used similar excuses to mess with rogue cultivators in the past.

He went straight to the point:

“I don’t care about your attempt to apprehend these rogue cultivators. But you must leave behind Master Shen Fu.”

“I’ve told you, there is no Master Shen Fu here! Feng Bao, in respect for the Golden Core experts from your Huifeng Valley, I have been polite. But that doesn’t mean I will tolerate your nonsensical interruptions.”

“If you persist in obstructing us, even after I kill you, the Golden Cores from your valley won’t have anything to say!” The cultivator surnamed Xu retorted coldly.

“Haha!”

Feng Bao was not intimidated at all and scoffed:

“You’re accusing me of being irrational? Why don’t you release these rogue cultivators and let me question each of them? We can then see if Master Shen Fu is among them!”

“Enough!”

Wang Tang, who had been silent until now, finally snapped with a cold voice.

He flew right in front of Feng Bao.

Separated by the Sealing Array.

Although his cultivation base seemed slightly inferior to the cultivator surnamed Xu’s.

He was unsurpassed in terms of his imposing manner.

He coldly gazed at Feng Bao, then took a deep breath, struggling to suppress the anger within him:

“Friend Feng, what exactly is it that you want to do? Why not clarify your intentions openly!”

Regardless, Feng Bao remained indifferent and coldly laughed:

“What am I trying to do? I’ve already mentioned this before, I just want you to let Master Shen Fu go.”

At this moment, even Wang Tang couldn’t maintain the calm on his face, and couldn’t help but retort in rage:

“Master Shen Fu! Master Shen Fu! Feng Bao, are you really treating me like a three-year-old child? You said that Master Shen Fu is among these rogue cultivators. So now I am asking you, who here is Master Shen Fu? If you can identify him, I will hand him over to you!”

“Uh…”

His question hit Feng Bao right in his blind spot.

Feng Bao had rushed over as soon as he received the message and didn’t actually know who exactly was this Master Shen Fu.

Meanwhile, Wang Ba, who had been deliberately keeping a low profile, couldn’t help but rejoice upon hearing this.

Finally, the right opportunity had arrived!

With the intent to seize the moment and confess, he was about to speak up,

However, immediately Wang Tang guffawed and casually pointed to one of the cultivators, and scoffed:

“Master Shen Fu? Is the Master Shen Fu you speak of him?”

Then he pointed to Wang Ba: “Or him?”

Upon hearing this, a perplexed expression surfaced on Wang Ba’s face.

Initially, he had wanted to admit to being Shen Fu and seize the opportunity. But now if he confessed… would anyone believe him at all?

Not to mention, such a confession wouldn’t create the desired effect. Instead, he would come across as being looked down upon for no reason.

This wasn’t the time to keep a low profile. The grander the spectacle, the better. The stage had to have a certain level of gravity.

Considering this, Wang Ba decided to keep silent.

Unaware of Wang Ba’s thoughts, Wang Tang continued pointing at Bu Chan and several other cultivators in the distance.

“Is it her? Or him? Friend Feng, you claim that Master Shen Fu is among us. Could you please do us the honor of pointing him out? Is he a man or a woman? Is he old or young? Our Xuli Sect shares a bond of deep friendship with your Huifeng Valley and we wouldn’t want to sour our relationship over something so unfounded.”

Upon hearing Wang Tang’s words, Feng Bao showed a hint of hesitation. He also faintly felt that something was amiss. However, this fleeting doubt quickly faded away, accompanied by an imperceptibly flush of crimson.

Instead, a domineering look took its place:
