Chapter 285

Yan Buji watched Wang Jie being captured, delighted, saying: "Both senior brothers are mighty!"

"We also owe it to the junior brother's scheme, tricking this guy out; otherwise we might not have caught him so easily." Pang De laughed, looking at the formation disk in his palm.

Now Wang Jie is inside this Earthly Fiend Subduing Demon Grand Formation; Yan Buji looked on eagerly and asked: "Senior brother, what is this formation disk?"

Pang De explained: "This formation disk was made by the sect's formation master; our sect has always possessed the transmission of the Fourfold Transformation Earthly Fiend Subduing Demon Grand Formation. After the sect's formation masters thoroughly understood it, they produced this disk. Although it can be used only once, it is a genuine Fourfold Transformation formation, capable of suppressing even Golden Core Stage cultivators."

Hu Bing laughed: "The only trouble is the mana consumption is too great."

"But since we've captured Wang Jie, it's not a loss. Junior brother, I must return to the sect as quickly as possible to hand Wang Jie over for processing, and by the way contact Mysterious Firmament Dao's side; then senior brother will definitely not forget the favors of the two junior brothers." Pang De laughed.

"Senior brother, go on your way; we will certainly await your good news in Huang Du." Hu Bing laughed.

Yan Buji bowed with clasped hands: "See you off, senior brother."

Pang De nodded, then flew away.

Hu Bing watched Pang De's departing figure and sighed: "This operation to capture the heretic cultivator is basically over; from now on we can live our days in peace and stability."

"That would be best." Yan Buji smiled, then suddenly looked up toward the sky.

"Someone is spying?"

Hu Bing asked doubtfully: "Junior brother, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing... perhaps I overthought it; let's go back, senior brother."

"Mm."

Just as Yan Buji departed in doubt, a faint and fleeting figure appeared in the high sky.

"That good-for-nothing, actually schemed against— I wasted my effort looking for him.... But what's up with that kid? How could he sense it?"

The figure muttered a few words, then suddenly received a message.

"Good-for-nothing, still dare to call for help!"

The figure gave a cold chuckle and vanished into midair.

Meanwhile, Pang De, hastening his speed to return to the sect, carefully observed his surroundings, fearing that Wang Jie might have accomplices who would strike when he wasn't paying attention.

But after flying for so long with no one appearing, it's likely not a serious problem.

"Wang Jie, don't waste your effort; with your late Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation, you cannot break this Earthly Fiend Subduing Demon Grand Formation." Pang De said confidently with a smile.

"Break the formation? I, Wang Jie, have roamed the eight directions of the earth for decades; what scenes haven't I seen? Do you think I really have no way?" Wang Jie's weak voice came from within the formation disk, yet it carried a strange mocking tone.

Pang De frowned: "You simply cannot break the Earthly Fiend Subduing Demon Grand Formation!"

"But what if there are others? Hahaha, all I can say is you're indeed formidable, going to such lengths to scheme against me— yet you don't know who I'm working for."

"What?!"

"You think I left the city to flee? Wrong! Totally wrong—I'm doing it for that esteemed person...."

Bang!

Suddenly, a red light burst from behind Pang De, fiercely striking his back and knocking him down from midair!

"Cough cough cough! Who...."

Seeing the opponent somehow take the formation disk from his hand and crush it with one hand, Wang Jie's figure appeared on the ground, and he hastily bowed to that person, saying:

"My lord, your subordinate is incompetent; please forgive me, my lord!"

"Good-for-nothing! What use are you?"

"My lord, please believe me; with me around, many matters need not require your personal intervention— those petty figures are not worth dirtying your hands!"

"Hmph, this is the last time— don't let me come again, or else you'll have to fend for yourself."

After saying that, the person vanished; Wang Jie rose to his feet and glared at Pang De with a sinister look.

"From the Green Mountain Sect, what's your name? To have schemed this far makes you a notable figure—I don't kill nobodies."

Pang De gritted his teeth and rose: "Damn it!"

A few days passed.

Yan Buji continued his usual patrol and cultivation; Senior Brother Pang De's return to the sect would take at least ten-plus days even at full speed, so there was no need to rush.

However, Yan Buji faintly felt that someone was secretly watching him, which made him somewhat uneasy.

But he could never find the source, so Yan Buji could only reduce his outings and cultivate in peace at his dwelling.

"What on earth will happen in Qian Dao Huang Du? Why does the stronger I become, the more powerless I feel?"

Yan Buji pondered the source of the problem.

"Could it be that my cultivation approach is flawed, that I shouldn't have come to this place of right and wrong, and should instead find a quiet spot to hide and cultivate in seclusion?"

"But if I do that, how can I break through the Foundation Establishment Stage?"

"The more I think this way, the more I fall into a dead cycle."

"After all, Yan Buji is merely at the Lianqi Phase; even if he cultivates Martial Dao to Foundation Establishment, breaking the heavens he's still just a slightly bigger ant— in the eyes of true experts he isn't even worthy of being an opponent."

erm

Really helpless.

But cultivation still has to be done.

Although Yan Buji's talent in Magical Cultivation is low, step by step relying on his own efforts he has gotten to where he is today and is no longer a complete novice.

Regarding the Void Escape Gate technique obtained from the Green Mountain Sect, after so long he finally has some clues; trying to circulate his mana according to the repeatedly revised technique's mantra, he finally saw some progress.

Only saw Yan Buji's mana not circulating in a heavenly cycle within his body, but rather circulating outside his body.

This external circulation involves emitting mana from the seven apertures' pores, then controlling that mana outside the body to complete the Void Escape Gate's mana circulation. Gradually Yan Buji also found a method; the flow of mana before him resembled a great gate— although now it's only an illusory image, if it were fully solidified and then pushed open, perhaps the technique could be perfected!

But what use is this technique, what scene would appear upon opening that gate— Yan Buji doesn't know any of this.

Now Yan Buji only thinks of quickly strengthening himself, so as not to face helplessness before many unknown manifestations.

"But as I thought, the Void Escape Gate might indeed be a technique containing some spatial power, a technique involving the Dao of Space; it being of a higher level than I imagined is quite normal. However, I have a stone ball that can shuttle between the two worlds; at least in feeling it is more profound than for other cultivators."

Yan Buji really wants to know why the Void Escape Gate was placed in the Technique Hall by the Green Mountain Sect sect leader, to have disciples cultivate it— could it be that the sect leader himself is a cultivator of the Dao of Space, and thus hopes to see a successor appear within the sect?

"Heaven Gate Law? You brat, are you the disciple of the Blue Mountain Gate Sect Leader?"

"A voice suddenly appeared, Yan Buji snapped his eyes open, looking at the young man before him."

"The young man exuded a faint, terrifying aura; Yan Buji immediately rose, clasped his hands, and said, 'I am Huang Hao, a disciple of the Blue Mountain Gate. Who are you, senior?'"

"\"I'm the evil cultivator you've been looking for, didn't you hear those little girls from the Harmony Union Sect say so? \" the young man said with a light smile."

"Yan Buji's pupils contracted."

"It's over!"
