Chapter 322: Master Visits
After Wang Hong emerged from seclusion, he celebrated Little Peng's promotion by sharing a hearty meal together.
"East Master, there's a message from Xu Lun!" Luo Zhongjie entered.
"Oh, what's the matter?"
For the sake of convenience, Xu Lun had acquired a pair of Spiritual Weapons suitable for long-distance communication. One was placed in Azure Void City, and the other in the Mountain Valley base.
These long-distance communication Spiritual Weapons were extremely rare and valuable, and Xu Lun had spent a considerable amount to obtain them.
As a refining tool master, Wang Hong naturally had some knowledge of such Spiritual Weapons, as the sect's records contained information about Refinement techniques. However, due to the scarcity of raw materials, he had never had the chance to refine a pair himself.
"He didn't say, so perhaps you should ask him personally."
"Alright! I'll go do that. Would you like to sit down and have something to eat?"
Luo Zhongjie didn't hesitate and helped himself to a bottle of Spirit Wine, some grilled meat, and some spirit fruit. He sat at a table and began eating heartily.
Wang Hong entered a hidden chamber, where a highly complex Spiritual Weapon, taller than a person, was placed. This particular Spiritual Weapon was the one used for long-distance communication.
Approaching the Spiritual Weapon, Wang Hong pressed his hand against a jade plate on it and transmitted the message through Divine Sense.
"What's the matter?"
The message would take about a breath's time to travel through the Spiritual Weapon and reach Azure Void City.
"There's a female cultivator looking for you."
After a few breaths, Wang Hong received Xu Lun's message.
"Do you know her? What does she want?"
"Do you know how many Demonic Beasts are there on that side, and what is the current situation?" Wang Hong had to clarify these details because rushing in blindly could put his own life at risk.
"On that side, there are second-tier Demonic Beasts, along with over forty human cultivators at the Foundation Building level. In addition, there are some in the Qi Cultivation stage, probably totaling a few hundred individuals. Your Elder Brother's Marketplace has seven Foundation Building cultivators and several thousand Qi Cultivation stage cultivators. Fortunately, the Marketplace is protected by a powerful Large Formation set up by a third-tier formation master at the Golden Core stage. Over the years, the Marketplace has generated significant profits and accumulated a large number of Spirit Stones, which should provide temporary support."
As Master spoke, she glanced at Wang Hong again. She recognized his contributions to the Marketplace, which had seen increasing revenue in recent years.
"I understand that this is very dangerous, but I only ask that you help create some chaos on the outskirts to assist them in breaking out."
Master was unaware of Wang Hong's East Zhou Trading Company, and she still believed it to be a small operation with only around ten Foundation Building cultivators, making it challenging to face over forty Foundation Building cultivators. Therefore, she only hoped that Wang Hong could help distract the enemy on the outside, allowing those inside to break free.
Wang Hong agreed without much hesitation. Aside from anything else, the friendship he shared with Elder Brother and Gu Wei was worth the effort. Moreover, the task at hand posed no significant difficulty for him.
"Master, please wait a moment. I will make preparations, and we will depart immediately."
Wang Hong immediately gathered the thirty people he had brought from Mountain Valley and assembled them at the entrance of the East Zhou Trading Company.
When Wang Hong, accompanied by his Master, emerged from the company, she was surprised to see thirty well-disciplined individuals lined up at the entrance. She initially thought they were troublemakers but was taken aback when they saluted Wang Hong in perfect unison. These were all Wang Hong's subordinates.
His Master was deeply moved by the sight. She had not expected Wang Hong, who usually kept a low profile, to have gathered such a large group of followers. She couldn't fathom where he had recruited these cultivators, who stood upright and disciplined, displaying a stern and resolute demeanor.
Immortal cultivators usually cherished their freedom, pursuing the path of immortality throughout their lives and resisting constraints. She had lived for over a hundred years and had never seen anyone train cultivators to this extent.
"Master, shall we depart now?"
Wang Hong bowed to his Master with a slight nod.
"Very well! Thank you for this. With these thirty individuals, I have newfound confidence that we can create an opening on the outskirts to facilitate their escape."
