Chapter 267: Chapter 56: The Mountain Collapses!_1

The newcomer was dressed in ordinary attire, with an unremarkable face.

His aura wasn’t even as strong as Shen Fu’s own.

It was his senior brother, Wang Ba, whom Shen Fu had been worried about for a few years since they last met.

Seeing Wang Ba, Shen Fu’s face instantly filled with unimaginable excitement, both shockingly joyful and somewhat incredulous.

A myriad of thoughts raced through his mind.

For a moment, he was at a loss for words.

“Senior Brother, why…why are you here? How do you…”

How are you so powerful?

How did you manage to establish your Foundation so quickly?

I was looking forward to showing off in front of you all when I returned…

At this moment, Shen Fu’s feelings resembled that of a returning wanderer who wanted to impress his family with stories about the extraordinary experiences he had undergone; the Jadescent Nectar he had tasted, the majestic mountains and rivers he had seen.

However, he realizes, to his dismay, that not only were these experiences commonplace at home, but they even had better at home!

This feeling was both a surprise and a source of joy for his family, but it also induced an inexplicable sense of loss.

However, overall, he was happier.

The eerie voice also ceased its chatter, disappearing into his spiritual government.

Not minding this, Shen Fu walked forward with a joyous gait.

Similarly, Wang Ba’s eyes filled with delight. He quickly stepped forward, forcibly seizing Shen Fu’s arms, taking a good look at him before exclaiming with surprise:

“Good! Good! You’ve got a solid foundation! It seems you have gone through a lot in the past few years!”

However, recalling the dangerous scene just now, he couldn’t help but fear. His expression suddenly turned serious:

“However…you were far too reckless this time, daring to confront the Incense Fire Dao with just a group of rogue cultivators?”

“If I hadn’t taken an extra look just now, we would likely be separated by life and death!”

He couldn’t help but reprimand him.

Listening to Wang Ba’s reprimand, Shen Fu, his face cold, showed no displeasure, on the contrary, it broke into a smile of rare happiness and enjoyment.

Seeing this, Wang Ba couldn’t continue his scolding and glared at him:

“Laugh! Why are you laughing when I’m scolding you?”

“Heh heh, isn’t it normal to be scolded by Senior Brother?”

Shen Fu replied with a chuckle.

There was none of the coldness or fierceness that he had displayed in front of the rogue cultivators.

In fact, he didn’t seem any different from a younger brother behaving docilely in front of his eldest brother.

Upon hearing Shen Fu’s words, Wang Ba’s eyes filled with tenderness.

He couldn’t help recalling how, when they first entered the Tianmen Cult, they had gone through the toughest times together, sticking together for warmth, and persevering.

This bond forged through adversity was not ordinary by any means.

Regrettably, Su Lingling, Yun Caixiang…

Wang Ba felt a sense of melancholy, but quickly rallied, smiled, and gave Shen Fu’s arm a hearty slap:

“Enough! Today’s reunion is a happy occasion, I won’t scold you anymore.”

“Let’s head to Qianyu Lake first. I have… let’s go!”

Wang Ba’s heart suddenly fluttered!

He swiftly deployed his spiritual sense.

Across Vantage Peak, a streak of light was booming at a shocking speed from the southwest, stirring up a sky full of dust!

The staggering speed shocked Wang Ba.

Moreover, the power concealed in the light was so chilling that it felt as if it could freeze his spiritual sense at any moment!

The moment Wang Ba’s spiritual sense made contact, a robust murderous and malicious intent echoed from the light!

“Yin Ghost!”

“A formidable Yin Ghost!”

At that instant, Wang Ba felt a shiver down his spine!

A name immediately came to his mind:

“Zheng Yuanhua!”

“It’s Zheng Yuanhua!”

“He actually came in person to kill me!”

Wang Ba had anticipated that the Incense Fire Dao would not let him go after he injured Li Canghai. However, he had never imagined that they would send someone as high-ranking as Zheng Yuanhua. Not only that, he arrived so quickly!

The danger he sensed from him was greater than what Li Canghai posed!

The more troubling matter was that Wang Ba had no means of threatening him.

His mind quickly raced, and he made the fastest decision he had ever made:

“Run! Quickly, let’s head into Qianyu Lake!”

Shen Fu was puzzled but faithfully activated his flight magic tool and flew towards Qianyu Lake.

Simultaneously, Wang Ba consumed the bit of mana he had left to quickly ascend, while immediately sending a message to Hua Meng’s group.

“Escape?”

At this moment, a remote yet seemingly nearby deep voice echoed from behind Vantage Peak.

It was full of mockery and coldness.

Immediately, in an instant.

Wang Ba heard an earth-shattering noise!

Straight away, the sky darkened!

Before his eyes, a huge shadow appeared, then it grew larger and stretched further…

Wang Ba couldn’t help but halt, raising his head to find himself dumbfounded!

Half of the enormous peak, tall enough to touch the sky, seemed to be falling right towards them!

It bore a semblance to an apocalyptic illusion.

Being crushed under such a massive mountain, even if they were Foundation Establishment cultivators, they would not survive!

“Quick, dodge it!”

Wang Ba couldn’t help but shout.

Shen Fu, flying ahead, instantly put all his mana into his magic tool and frantically flew out of the shadow’s range.

However, at this moment, Wang Ba’s pupil contracted sharply!

A flash of a magic tool darted past the falling rocks caused by the toppling mountain peak, aiming straight for Shen Fu!

On top of that streak of light from the magic tool, an astonishing class III aura pervaded!

“Damn it!”
