Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant Chapter 2412 - 206: Rejected (Part 3)
Previously on Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant...
In an instant, comprehension dawned on him.
"Looks like they've confused me with a figure from the Cloud Sky Realm."
No chance for clarification existed, with the foe launching a powerful assault that demanded his full attention. His thoughts raced, triggering the Yellow Dao Domain without delay.
Right at that point, Tao Bingji beside him uttered words with unexpected strain:
"Ji Hu!?"
Whoosh—
The approaching snakehead halted abruptly, gazing in shock at Tao Bingji standing by Wang Ba:
"Who might you be? How could you know my name?"
Wang Ba felt equally shocked, his eyes lighting up soon after.
What an astonishing stroke of luck!
As anticipated, Tao Bingji cried out in delight:
"It's me, Yuan She."
"You... you've managed reincarnation?"
The snakehead's eyes brimmed with astonishment, confusion evident:
"I figured your reincarnation attempt had collapsed and you'd perished ages ago..."
Its stare drifted a bit, vertical pupils locking onto Wang Ba, darting repeatedly between him and Tao Bingji, tone turning icy:
"Now that reincarnation succeeded, why return here alongside this Cultivator?"
Tao Bingji responded in haste:
"He's my master. Our visit here seeks no fight, Ji Hu—can you pause your attack for the moment?"
The snakehead ignored him entirely, fixing a frosty glare on Wang Ba.
Wang Ba pondered quickly, withdrawing the Yellow Dao Domain and declaring gravely:
"I hold no ties to the Cloud Sky Realm. My presence there aimed solely at defying the Supreme True Buddha... Whatever disputes or errors exist between Quiet Cave and Cloud Sky Realm, they escape my knowledge. I journeyed here only to encounter the Master of Quiet Cave."
The snakehead grew quiet, swiftly contracting from a massive python form into a small snakehead, slipping back to its prior spot.
A flicker of thought appeared in its eyes before it inquired:
"What drives you to seek the Master of Quiet Cave?"
Wang Ba paused for a second but revealed the truth openly:
"To stand against the Supreme True Buddha!"
The snakehead scoffed predictably:
"I figured you'd trot out that reason."
Its expression hardened, snake pupils gleaming with frost:
"Depart immediately. Out of respect for Yuan She, I spare you trouble, yet if you dawdle, fault me not for ignoring our bond with Yuan She..."
Wang Ba registered mild surprise.
Tao Bingji interjected promptly:
"Ji Hu, our goal is genuinely to counter the Supreme True Buddha. After they overrun Zhang’s Ruins and Cloud Sky Realm, Quiet Cave will inevitably face them next..."
Swish!
The snakehead lashed out once more without warning!
Its pupils radiated freezing chill, stripped of all feeling, surging purely with murderous aura!
And that murderous aura targeted Tao Bingji outright!
"Having reincarnated triumphantly as a pupil under a mighty Cultivator, why meddle with us further!"
Tao Bingji found himself pinned by the murderous aura, as though a colossal peak crushed his frame, his core chilling to the bone!
But in this dire instant, a surge of azure Wind swept past. A blur crossed Tao Bingji's vision, his form launching backward on its own, the crushing weight vanishing at once.
He glanced sideways, noting Wang Ba positioned nearby with a rather grave look.
Unbidden, he traced Wang Ba's line of sight.
There, Ji Hu's snakehead pulled back.
In that very moment, innumerable silhouettes materialized soundlessly from the Chaos Origin Substance trailing it, revealed as Innate Divine Demons and World Eaters!
His core quaked uncontrollably!
"That many!"
"How could there be so many?!"
Wang Ba's gaze tightened faintly, face betraying scant emotion as he murmured:
"Since we're not wanted here, we'll withdraw for now."
He pivoted, guiding Tao Bingji to soar off into the horizon.
"Master, are we truly abandoning this so easily?"
Snapping back to awareness, Tao Bingji voiced his concern right away.
Sensing the stares from those Innate Divine Demons at their backs, Wang Ba gave a subtle head shake, replying in a hushed tone:
"Hardly. Yet Ji Hu bears deep grudge against Cultivators. Lacking some accord, reaching the Master of Quiet Cave remains out of reach..."
While conversing, a beam of radiance hurtled their way from the distance, brushing past Wang Ba in a flash and aiming straight for Quiet Cave.
"Eh? What's that..."
Tao Bingji registered faint confusion.
Wang Ba whipped his head around in curiosity.
Observing the beam come to an abrupt stop, a voice erupted from it in pure shock, then elation:
"Little Friend Wang? How... how did you end up here?"
At that form of address, Wang Ba's frame shuddered, thoughts whirling, eyes flaring with astonishment:
"Could it be..."
"Xuan Yuanzi?!"
