After leaving Lin Hai City, Wang Hong flew in a direction with a hint of panic. Before long, several cultivators using concealment techniques followed closely behind him, pursuing the same path.

Wang Hong had flown about thirty miles away from Lin Hai City when the pursuing cultivators revealed their forms, surrounding him in the process.

"Fellow Daoist, we've crossed paths once before, no need to rush off like this. How about we catch up?" The leader of this group turned out to be the cultivator with the square face from the auction.

Wang Hong, who had previously appeared somewhat flustered, now smiled and replied, "Are you so confident that you can take me down? Do you know you're playing with fire?"

Since when did a Golden Core cultivator dare to rob a Nascent Soul cultivator?

"Hehe! You sure talk big. It seems you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin!"

Saying this, several Golden Core cultivators brandished their magic weapons, preparing to attack Wang Hong.

Just then, a shield appeared in the sky from a distance, intercepting all the attacks aimed at Wang Hong. A figure in a black cloak, Liu Changsheng, emerged and wielded a black blade, approaching the scene.

"Ah! It's actually a Nascent Soul cultivator. Run!"

They suddenly realized they had bitten off more than they could chew. The fact that there was a Nascent Soul cultivator protecting Wang Hong meant they couldn't act inside the city, so they deliberately lured them outside for the kill. It was a cunning move.

The square-faced cultivator felt that since they had some acquaintance, Wang Hong should have given them a hint. It was a ruthless world out there!

In the presence of two Nascent Soul cultivators, there was no chance for them to escape. In just a moment, all these Golden Core cultivators met their end.

The two Nascent Soul cultivators calmly collected their spoils and dealt with the corpses. These robbers had no idea that Wang Hong was also a Nascent Soul cultivator. This should have been the most glorious moment of their lives.

While the two were busy, two more auras rapidly approached from a distance. Wang Hong sensed them but didn't think they were coming for him. They seemed to be travelers passing by, which was common in this area near Lin Hai City.

Ignoring them, Wang Hong continued to deal with the bodies. However, when the two auras reached over him, they stopped, and it turned out to be Young Master Bai, who had vied with Wang Hong for the Divine Sense technique during the auction.

He was accompanied by another Nascent Soul late-stage cultivator.

"Fellow Daoist, it's quite unexpected that we meet again like this. I randomly picked a direction and happened to run into you. Are you here for treasure hunting? No wonder you possess such vast wealth."

Young Master Bai saw Wang Hong busy with the corpses and seemed to have mistaken him for a treasure hunter.

Wang Hong didn't bother explaining and expertly stripped valuable items from the corpses. He then set fire to the bodies, reducing them to ashes.

"Young Master Bai seems to be in a hurry. Aren't you planning to leave?"

"No problem, I just want to borrow that piece of the Divine Sense technique from you for a quick look. I believe it won't take much of your time."

Young Master Bai spoke confidently, revealing that he still coveted that fragment of the secret technique.

At this moment, Wang Hong's displayed cultivation level was only at the Golden Core Stage, while Liu Changsheng was just at the Nascent Soul early stage. They were no match for the two of them, and Wang Hong believed that it would only take a moment to deal with them.

"Fellow Daoist, will you hand it over willingly, or should I take it myself? We have no grudges, and it's better not to damage our amicable relationship."

Young Master Bai continued to smile, displaying exceptional courtesy even in this situation, proving himself as a cultured and talented cultivator.

Seeing that Wang Hong remained silent, both parties unleashed their lethal techniques and advanced towards Wang Hong and Liu Changsheng.

Lingxiao Sect was renowned for its proficiency in swordsmanship, and both Wang Hong and Young Master Bai wielded Flying Swords. However, their techniques were strikingly different.

Young Master Bai's Flying Sword split into two, then four, then eight, transforming into a multitude of sword shadows that descended upon Wang Hong, seemingly ready to engulf him in the next moment.

On the other hand, the Nascent Soul late-stage cultivator's Flying Sword was a single, ancient-looking blade with a rustic charm, carrying a sense of solemnity as it descended upon Liu Changsheng.

They truly lived up to the reputation of being a top sect in the Fengwu Continent, as their sword techniques displayed far greater power than any opponents Wang Hong had faced before.

In front of Wang Hong, a wooden shield materialized. He dared not use his tree leaf magic weapon in this location, so close to Lin Hai City, as it could bring him significant trouble if discovered. Moreover, he wasn't confident that he could eliminate both opponents. Currently, it was evident that Liu Changsheng was no match for the Nascent Soul late-stage cultivator.

Countless sword shadows attacked Wang Hong but were blocked by the wooden shield in front of him, creating a continuous clattering of impacts.

On the other side, Liu Changsheng was struck by the massive sword and was sent flying, landing about a mile away, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

With just one move, Liu Changsheng found himself at a disadvantage and had sustained injuries.

At this moment, countless poisonous bees swarmed out from Wang Hong's side. These poisonous bees, nurtured by Wang Hong over the years, included over a thousand third-tier specimens, equivalent to more than three thousand Golden Core cultivators.

Most importantly, these poisonous bees, under Wang Hong's guidance, no longer acted chaotically but followed tactical coordination as if they were an army. This significantly enhanced their combat effectiveness, enabling them to exert a strength greater than double their original capabilities.

Seeing the swarm of poisonous bees approaching, both opponents temporarily slowed their attacks and resorted to defensive measures.

The Nascent Soul late-stage cultivator employed a giant bell that hung above his head, emitting a brilliant light that encircled him entirely.

Surprisingly, Young Master Bai also summoned a leaf, adorned with shimmering runes – the same leaf that Wang Hong had entrusted for auction at the event.

Wang Hong didn't know the final outcome of the auction, but it seemed that Young Master Bai had obtained it.

"I didn't expect Fellow Daoist to also be a Nascent Soul cultivator, but let me show you what the strongest defense means," Young Master Bai said with a hint of satisfaction.

Little did he know that Wang Hong possessed a forest of such leaves. The one he had picked was just one among over a thousand, which he dared not reveal.

As the leaf was activated, all of Wang Hong's poisonous bees were blocked from entering.

"Do you know, Young Master Bai, that I possess a sword capable of breaking through all laws of the world?" Wang Hong summoned his four personal Flying Swords and spoke slowly.

Simultaneously, Wang Hong's Divine Sense found the backdoor he had planted on the leaf magic weapon and silently entered the interior. He triggered a formation he had left there, which had only one function – self-destruct.
