Immortal Path Space

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?"

Another two breaths passed before he received Xu Lun's response.

"She's a young and beautiful cultivator at the Foundation Building level. She claims to be from the Qingxu Sect and seems to have an urgent matter. East Master, forgive my presumption, but should we be expecting a new East Master's wife?"

Wang Hong, upon hearing Xu Lun's message, couldn't immediately identify the visitor.

"That's not the case; don't spread rumors. I'll be back soon."

Wang Hong left the chamber and gathered thirty of his Foundation Building subordinates to accompany him back to the city. The Cultivation World was currently unsettled, and despite his strength, he didn't want to venture into danger alone.

Luo Zhongjie had led a trade caravan out a few days ago, taking the Flying Boat with him, so Wang Hong had to rely on his subordinates for aerial transportation.

When he returned to Azure Void City and saw the female cultivator who had come to find him, he was surprised. It turned out to be his master, and she looked somewhat weary, indicating that she had encountered some difficulties.

With Gu Qingyang away and all the sect's cultivators deployed elsewhere, facing difficulties could prove challenging.

"Disciple Wang Hong pays respects to Master!" Wang Hong approached her respectfully and bowed deeply.

This action by Wang Hong startled Xu Lun, who had been accompanying him. He suddenly remembered saying some things he shouldn't have.

"Rise quickly, Little Hongzi. I've finally found you." Master helped Wang Hong to his feet and then glanced at Xu Lun.

"East Master, I have some matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave." Xu Lun understood and hastily excused himself.

"Little Hongzi, Master would like to ask for your help.""Oh? May I ask, Master, what is it that you need? As long as it's within my capabilities, Disciple will do his best," Wang Hong inquired with curiosity.

"It's like this, your Junior Brother has always been at Blackstone Valley Market, as you are aware. A few days ago, I received a message from your Elder Brother informing me that Blackstone Valley Market is under siege by a group of hidden Demon Clan members. Unfortunately, within the sect, your Master's close friends have already been summoned to the frontlines of battle, and I cannot find suitable assistance elsewhere. If I were to go alone, it would not be enough; it would be a futile effort and I wouldn't be able to rescue your Junior Brother and your Elder Brother. Right now, you are the only help I can think of. I have no other options, and I hope you can assist me. When your Master returns, he will surely express his gratitude to you."

Master spoke these words with a sense of urgency, as the bond between a mother and her children was strong, and Elder Brother was like a son to her.

"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."
