Chapter 655 - 655 41 West Sea_2
Chapter 655: Chapter 41: West Sea_2 Chapter 655: Chapter 41: West Sea_2 Seeing that the last one is in place, Deacon Shi nodded and said, “Alright, now that everyone has arrived, let me explain the details of this mission.”
“Lu Yu from Xinjian Peak, you step forward first.”
Upon hearing his name, a figure quietly emerged from the crowd.
He wore a unremarkable outfit, with an oddity: a sword scabbard on his back that had no sword in it.
His expression was calm, showing no joy or sorrow.
Upon hearing the words ‘Xinjian Peak’, Wang Ba couldn’t help but take a closer look at him.
If he remembered correctly, his senior brother Zhao Feng was a disciple under Xumi, the Lonely Sword of Xinjian Peak, but he had not heard from him in recent years.
At first glance, there seemed to be nothing special about him.
Yet, upon closer inspection, Wang Ba was startled by a vague sense of unease that sprang up within him!
...
He hastily averted his gaze.
A chill went down his spine.
“Another Golden Core cultivator…”
And this one seemed no different from Ji Yuan who came earlier.
Then, they heard Deacon Shi say:

“Lu Yu, your mission is to investigate the disappearance of the sect disciples in Sen State.This is the specific information…
you don’t need to act with them, you can proceed independently.”
Hearing this, Lu Yu took the jade slip from Deacon Shi, nodded gently towards Xi Wushang and Ji Yuan, and turned to leave, disappearing into a streak of sword light.
For some reason, Wang Ba thought he saw a hint of Xumi, the Lonely Sword, in this disciple from Xinjian Peak.
After Lu Yu left, Deacon Shi turned his gaze on the rest of the crowd.
He then read out several names: “Ji Yuan from Tiandao Peak, Chen Taian from Wuying Peak…
Liang Zhongkang from Shenxiu Peak…”
“The task for you is to go to the ‘Elong Beach’ outside of Yundang in the southern shoreline of West Sea Country.
Ji Yuan has the highest cultivation base among you.
He will be the leader of your team.
You must comply with his commands.
Any violation of orders shall be punished by death!
Here are the specifics…”
Ji Yuan showed no surprise as he accepted the jade slip.
While the cultivators who were called out appeared a little surprised, none voiced any disagreements.
Even Liang Zhongkang showed no dissatisfaction.
All seven of them left the crowd and stood behind Ji Yuan.
With that, Deacon Shi turned to the remaining six people, particularly Xi Wushang:
“Xi Wushang from Chunyuan Peak, Tao Ruyi from Shixian Peak, Zhou Lve from Baihua Peak, Zhen Boen from Thick Earth Peak, Lou Yi from Qianliu Peak, Wang Ba from Wanfa Peak.”
“The six of you, led by Xi Wushang, your task is simple.
Go to Daohai Town and the area around Yundang along the southern shoreline.
Here are the details…”
Upon hearing the name ‘Wang Ba’, Liang Zhongkang behind Ji Yuan stretched his neck to look over here.
However, he did not recognize Wang Ba.
Besides Tao Ruyi and the female cultivator from Baihua Peak, he did not recognize the other two either, so his gaze just lingered on their faces and moved on.
However, Wang Ba gave a surprised look at the young cultivator standing next to Deacon Shi, who looked like a heavenly swordsman.
“Is he Xi Wushang?”
The champion of the Golden Core Realm in this Dao-asking Conference.
Although he did not participate in the battle, he had heard of him in Xuanwu Market.
He didn’t expect such a coincidence.
“My luck isn’t bad.”
He thought to himself.
Being able to perform patrol duties with the top Golden Core cultivator of the sect should make this trip smoother.
After Deacon Shi had relayed the specific details of the two teams, he continued:
“Although your tasks are different, Yundang and Elong Beach are close to each other.
We’re going to drop you there.
When you arrive in West Sea Country, make a trip to Fengyu Mountain first.
The map is inside the jade slips given to you.”
Saying so, Deacon Shi waved his hand and summoned a cloud ship.
Xi Wushang and Ji Yuan boarded first, followed closely by the other cultivators.
Liang Zhongkang, however, couldn’t help but scan Wang Ba and the others one last time before finally boarding the cloud ship.
Soon, the cloud ship rose up into the sky and flew towards the west.
…
“…Martial Uncle Wang, Great Martial Uncle Wang?”
Through the window of the cloud ship, Wang Ba dreamily looked down at the slightly unfamiliar villages and towns below…
Suddenly, he heard a somewhat unfamiliar voice.
Wang Ba quickly looked to the side.
He saw an old-looking cultivator wearing the sect’s standard robe standing nervously beside him.
After a moment’s thought, Wang Ba recognized him:
“Are you…
Zhen Boen?”
“Great Uncle, you, you know me?”
Zhen Boen, with his older-looking face, appeared surprised, but his face quickly became joyful.
Wang Ba laughed, “I remember, when I went to Martial Uncle Hu, I saw you…
Whose grand disciple are you?”
In fact, he had only given Zhen Boen a casual glance back then and didn’t even know his name.
But it was when Deacon Shi read his name earlier that Wang Ba made the connection.
But that was a matter not worth mentioning to others.
Upon hearing Wang Ba’s response, Zhen Boen was both surprised and delighted.
He hastily replied:
“My master’s name is Shi Guang, my direct master’s name is Deng Ying.”
“Senior Brother Shi Guang, Martial Nephew Deng Ying?”
Wang Ba was somewhat surprised, and the image of the long-eyebrowed cultivator who greeted him the first time he went to Thick Earth Peak alone popped up in his mind.
He didn’t expect Zhen Boen to be his disciple.
“You are Martial Nephew Deng Ying’s disciple.
That makes us family.”
Wang Ba’s attitude became a bit warmer.
What do you think?
