Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant

Chapter 353: Chapter 10 Search_3

Wang Ba, with his keen hearing, quickly overheard many questions from the Xuli Sect. Most of them were inquiries about where he lived, his involvement with Huifeng Valley, Danlong School and Zhenling Palace, his association with cultivators of the Hundred Arts and so on.

“It seems that the people of Xuli Sect have begun to take action.”

Wang Ba contemplated his thoughts.

Huifeng Valley had already begun to investigate the Rogue Cultivators and secretly canvass the Hundred Arts cultivators. The Xuli Sect, being second only to Zhenling Palace in terms of influence and power within the Yan State, naturally wouldn’t lag behind much.

However, he soon noticed that another group of Xuli Sect cultivators were directly invading the homes of the Rogue Cultivators.

Most of the residences of the Rogue Cultivators were equipped with defensive measures.

Yet they were easily breached under the forced dismantling by the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Xuli Sect.

After the clattering sounds, these Xuli Sect cultivators either left the residences satisfied or cursing under their breath.

Though most of the cultivators stored their wealth in their Storage Bags, the items aiding their cultivation were mostly located within reach in their residences.

It was apparent that these cultivators didn’t have the habit of leaving in a rush, so all these items were swept away effortlessly.

A few cultivators who failed to slip away in time were pushed out of their houses to await questioning.

In the midst of this, Wang Ba’s heart sank.

In his house, vast numbers of Spirit Beasts remained.

If these people broke the array protecting his house, he dreaded…

Wang Ba couldn’t bear to imagine the scene where all the Spirit Beasts, which he painstakingly raised, would fall into the hands of these cultivators.

Not only would he lose these Spirit Beasts, but he would also likely be targeted immediately for owning so many of them, putting him in a more passive position.

At this thought, a chill finally surfaced in his heart.

He glanced around surreptitiously.

Yet he made no moves, merely watching few Xuli Sect cultivators search house by house until they gradually approached his own residence.

“This house is so big, it seems to belong to a Foundation Establishment cultivator…”

A few Xuli Sect cultivators stood before Wang Ba’s house, their eyes lighting up at the sight.

Compared to Qi Refining cultivators who possessed insignificant belongings, the loot from a Foundation Establishment cultivator was undeniably abundant.

Even though they were restricted from directly seizing the Rogue Cultivators’ possessions, they couldn’t help but exploit the opportunity to search the residences. Likely, the authorities would turn a blind eye to this.

After all, old habits die hard.

Moreover, after almost ten years, who wouldn’t seize this opportunity with both hands?

The group then prepared to breach the formation with their Magic Tools specially designed for this purpose.

Not far away, Wang Ba’s eyes narrowed slightly.

He quietly began to gather his mana in hiding.

He had modified the appearance of his Class III array with a spell to make it seem like an ordinary Class II array from the outside.

But once these people tried to breach the formation, they would immediately realize something was amiss.

And that was when he would seize his only chance to strike.

However, just as the Xuli Sect disciples were about to wield their Magic Tools to break the formation, Wang Ba’s array suddenly shook slightly outside his house and then quickly dissipated.

A figure pushed the door open and walked out, appearing unexpectedly before the group.

Wang Ba was momentarily taken aback.

“Bu Chan?”

“She’s already back home?”

Bu Chan had the same authority as him, she could open the array without needing Wang Ba’s consent. And due to the array’s minor flaw, Wang Ba was unable to detect her.

It appears that Bu Chan had already returned home when Wang Ba was out for tea.

At this moment, she probably sensed the commotion outside and intentionally opened the array to check it out.

A knot formed in Wang Ba’s heart.

Even though the array was opened, didn’t this expose all the numerous Spirit Beasts within the array!

However, when he scanned with his Spiritual Sense, he was surprised to find that all the Spirit Beasts within the range of the array, the several chicken coops, and the Class II movable spirit field planted with the Thousand God Tree, had all disappeared without a trace. Even Boli was not seen on Bu Chan’s shoulder.

In the huge grassland, only a common spirit field planted with several Class I Spirit Plants was visible.

Facing the questioning gaze of the Xuli Sect cultivators, Bu Chan stood at the door, her face calm and composed, without any signs of panic:

“What brings you all here?”
