Chapter 359

"I have not yet seen the fellow Daoists from the Sunset Sect, but I estimate it will be within these few days." Zhuo Fan shook his head and said.

"This is a bit strange. It stands to reason that the Sunset Sect is closer to this place than our sect, so why haven't they arrived yet? Could it be that they set off late?" Yun Yun Cai Shang said with doubt.

"Perhaps. Anyway, the day of assembly has not yet arrived, so let us wait two more days.

In addition, does Wu Xianzi Yun know what we are gathering our elite cultivators to do this time? Also, whose orders should we listen to for this mission?" Zhuo Fan asked again with a light cough.

Once these words were spoken, whether it was Wang Yu, Xuan Tianwu, or Princess Tianhe and the others opposite, their gazes could not help but condense, all falling on the young woman in the red dress.

"Why does Fellow Daoist Zhuo ask me? The content of the jade slip I received should be the same as yours. It only says that when we arrive here, we will naturally know whose orders to listen to. As for the specific content of this mission, it was not mentioned at all." Yun Yun Cai Shang asked back with some curiosity.

"So Wu Xianzi Yun does not know the specific content of the mission either. I heard from our sect's ancestor that this operation was actually initiated by your sect's Ancestor Elder Yin Yun. I thought your sect's disciples would know a thing or two." Zhuo Fan replied, his brow furrowing slightly.

"Then I will disappoint Brother Zhuo. I truly do not know. Could the person in charge of this mission be a fellow Daoist from the Diamond Temple?" Yun Yun Cai Shang's eyebrows moved, and she turned her head to look at the direction where Yuantong had disappeared, guessing.

"I have already asked Master Master Zhi Ming of the Diamond Temple, and they do not know either." Zhuo Fan denied it flatly.

"Could it be a fellow Daoist from the Sunset Sect?" The handsome Luo Yiming interjected.

"It doesn't seem likely. The fellow Daoist in charge of this mission couldn't possibly be the last to arrive, could they?" Xuan Tianwu also said thoughtfully.

"Alright, regardless of who is in charge of this trip, once the fellow Daoists from the Sunset Sect arrive, it will likely be clear.

Brother Zhuo, I will take my two junior brothers to find a place to rest first." Yun Yun Cai Shang said after pondering for a moment.

"That is as it should be. There are many caves in the valley; you fellow Daoists can choose one to rest in. Then we will take our leave first." Zhuo Fan cupped his hands and said nonchalantly, then turned and flew back.

Princess Tianhe and Luo Yiming naturally left as well.

Wang Yu and the others on the jade boat watched the three of them go.

Just at this moment, a pleasant voice transmission from Princess Tianhe suddenly reached Wang Yu's ears:

"Brother Wang, meet me at the valley entrance at the third watch tonight."

Wang Yu's expression shifted slightly, but he did not transmit a reply.

At this time, Yun Yun Cai Shang looked at Wang Yu with a smile that was not a smile, as if she had sensed something.

"Senior Sister Yun, it is best if the three of us do not separate too far. Let us all find caves to live in that are adjacent to each other, so that if something happens, we can support each other." Xuan Tianwu suggested.

"Wang Wang Shidi Xuan's words make sense. Let us go over there and find places to rest. If possible, let us all set up some simple restrictions as a warning." Yun Yun Cai Shang nodded in agreement.

Following this, the three of them flew toward another cliff wall not too far from where Yuantong was, and each found a cave there to live in.

Wang Yu chose a relatively clean cave, took out a bone blade to cut a flat round stone to use as a meditation cushion, and then took three blue banners from his storage bag, casually inserting them at the entrance of the cave.

After a short while, rolling white water mist surged from the banners, covering the entrance of the cave.

He sat cross-legged on the round stone and took a box from his bosom. After opening it, inside was a beast claw of unknown origin, glittering with silver light throughout, looking exceptionally sharp, yet it was surrounded by layers of red light, as if it were burning fiercely.

It was the natural spirit object that recorded the second-rank primordial spell "Fire Flame Blade."

Because the spell's spiritual pattern symbols recorded on this object were as many as ninety-eight, even with the system's assistance, the time to comprehend it was too long. Therefore, over these years, he would go to the Scripture Depository every year to rent this object at no small cost, specifically to comprehend it for a period of time.

Wang Yu released his divine sense and probed into the silver beast claw.

Deep within the beast claw, a profound magic pattern diagram composed of dense spiritual pattern symbols emerged.

"Overclock."

He gave a low drink, and crystal light flickered deep within his pupils. The blurry spiritual pattern symbols reflected in the beast claw suddenly became clear for more than eighty of them, with only a few symbols remaining that he could not see clearly.

Wang Yu, with an expressionless face, pinched a spell with one hand, and nine strands of divine thought swept out from his divine sense sea, wrapping around a blurry symbol in the beast claw, and began to comprehend it.

If he focused on comprehending this "Fire Flame Blade" magic pattern diagram, he was confident that he could fully comprehend this spell within a month, and then solidify the spell into his divine sense sea, thereby being able to cast it instantly.

Judging by the number of spiritual pattern symbols contained in this spell, its power was absolutely incomparably shocking, and it could serve as a trump card in his battles.

Wang Yu thought to himself while gradually pouring all his heart and mind into the comprehension.

At the third watch.

In a small forest at the entrance of the valley, a graceful white figure was waiting quietly. Her face was as white as jade, and her features were delicate; it was Princess Tianhe.

Not long after, Wang Yu, who had already locked onto the target with his divine sense, walked slowly into the forest and arrived beside her.

"Brother Wang, I haven't seen you for so many years. I didn't expect that we would both be Foundation Establishment cultivators now." The woman in white turned around, her originally cold face now full of joy.

"Fellow Daoist Tianhe, I didn't expect to meet you here again after our parting back then. I wonder if Elder Hua is still well?" Wang Yu cupped his hands and asked with a smile.

"Rest assured, Brother Wang. After I joined the Thousand Bamboo Sect, Elder Hua returned to the Prince of Tianhe's mansion and has already planned to spend his remaining years in the mansion. On the contrary, Brother Wang's great name has resounded through the four sects these years. If I hadn't learned your true appearance from the disciples of our sect, I would have truly thought you were another 'Wang Yu'!" Princess Tianhe smiled upon hearing this.

"It is just a small, empty reputation. On the contrary, it is not easy for Fellow Daoist Tianhe to become a Foundation Establishment cultivator without a sound and to have remained inconspicuous all this time." Wang Yu shook his head and said with a wry smile.

"Brother Wang is too modest. You and I can be considered old acquaintances, and you saved my life, so don't call me 'Fellow Daoist' anymore. Just call me by my name directly; my given name is Wu Jiao." The woman in white first frowned, but immediately returned to her normal expression.

"This... since you don't like the previous address, then I will call you Wu Xianzi." Wang Yu thought for a moment and replied.

"Wu Xianzi? If Brother Wang likes it, that's fine." Princess Tianhe hesitated for a moment before nodding reluctantly.

"Then, Wu Xianzi, you wouldn't have asked me out so late just to reminisce, would you?" Wang Yu asked tentatively.

"Of course not. I have some things I want to discuss with Brother Wang, but before that, I want to ask first: how does Brother Wang view the matter of the demonic path invading the two prefectures this time?" Princess Tianhe blinked her beautiful eyes and suddenly said this.
