Arriving One After Another (Part 2)

Kong Ming stopped laughing, his eyes darting around as he recalled the recent changes in the situation.

"Very well, since you are Brother Zhen Xu from the True One Sect, I will give you face today."

He had heard of Zhen Xu; he was an absolute high-ranking figure in the True One Sect, second only to the Ming Mountain Five Sons.

The person in front of me exudes a strong Daoist aura; he is definitely a Daoist. In addition, I can sense that his strength is quite profound, so he must be a Daoist spirit.

It's not worth offending such a master just for the sake of a Ming Consort or a furnace.

Especially now that he is still tracking down Dao Child Zhang Ying of the Great Dao Sect, he must not cause any unnecessary trouble.

At that moment, Kong Ming and the others sat down to eat.

With both sides' matters settled, they each took their seats.

Shortly after, Zhang Rongfang and Ding Zhong got up, paid the bill, and left.

As for the group of the Kun Ning Sect members, they escorted the woman away quickly without looking back.

There was absolutely no gratitude or tears of joy after he rescued her; instead, he lowered his head, remained silent, and ran away as fast as he could.

Clearly, the name of the Western Sect True Buddha Temple was too intimidating for them.

Zhang Rongfang hadn't expected Ding Zhong to act so impulsively. Kong Ming was a master of the Kong Generation from the True Buddha Temple.

The weakest of the Kong Generation masters he had encountered before was at the peak of the Three Voids Realms of the Worship God.

Such a master, Ding Zhong didn't even say a word before rushing out on his own.

Although he used the disguise of the True One Sect, the best course of action was to avoid causing trouble as much as possible.

This guy seemed completely unconcerned, and his behavior was somewhat strange.

We've eaten.

The two groups of people kept to themselves and returned to their rooms.

Zhang Rongfang and Ding Zhong slept separately, in adjacent rooms.

It was late at night.

Zhang Rongfang sat cross-legged in meditation, practicing his Civilian Skill.

Suddenly, I heard a rustling sound coming from next door.

In the darkness, he suddenly opened his eyes and recognized the noise coming from his senior brother Ding Zhong.

Soon, after a faint sound of the door opening and closing, there was no more sound.

It was clear that Ding Zhong had gone out to run errands under the cover of night.

'It's so late. Is it because of that woman from earlier today?' Zhang Rongfang sat cross-legged and shook his head slightly.

It was obvious that Ding Zhong found out something after he returned to his room, which was nothing more than cleaning up the mess from what happened during the day.

That woman may be fast now, and she may be letting Kong Ming.

But giving face at that time doesn't mean you'll give it at other times.

If the evil monks of the Western Sect were so easy to deal with, everyone would avoid them like the plague.

"Didn't we agree not to cause trouble or get into any problems along the way?" Zhang Rongfang sighed softly.

Fortunately, not long after, the sound of a door opening and closing came from next door again.

Ding Zhong has clearly returned.

Reassured, Zhang Rongfang closed his eyes again and entered a meditative state.

Early the next morning.

The sky was just beginning to lighten.

The two got up early and arrived at the Dock.

"Something's not right," Ding Zhong whispered to Zhang Rongfang.

"I checked the surrounding area last night, and we might be being watched!" His expression was slightly grave.

"We've been targeted?" Zhang Rongfang was speechless. It was undoubtedly because of what happened yesterday. Wasn't this all your fault? "It's alright. From now on, listen to me. We'll try to keep a low profile and be patient. Don't act rashly, and get to Ze Province as soon as possible," Ding Zhong said in a low voice.

Who was acting impulsively? However, Zhang Rongfang was ultimately a kind person. Although he got into trouble, he still didn't think that his actions yesterday were wrong.

He was speechless at this point, but he still nodded outwardly.

"Good!"

Actually, he had a feeling something was off ever since that place at the Inn yesterday.

Kong Ming is, after all, of the Kong Generation. Would he so easily give face to a Daoist from the True One Sect whose authenticity is unknown? Moreover, this is too much of a coincidence. In this remote town, he only rested for a day and just happened to run into such a master from the True Buddha Temple.

He recalled how his master Chongxuan, had hurriedly sent him away.

Clearly, there were other forces that didn't want them to leave so peacefully.

So even if they concealed their identities and split into two teams, one open and one covert, trouble is still brewing.

The two quickly selected a boat at the Dock, choosing a single-story ship that was neither too big nor too small.

After agreeing on a price with the boat owner, the two decided to charter the boat and go downstream.

"Don't worry, even if there were ten more of those people, I could still protect you and get you out safely. The main concern is other unforeseen circumstances."

After boarding the ship, while waiting for the ship to prepare supplies.

Ding Zhong made a confident promise to Zhang Rongfang.

"As long as they are not the strongest members of the Kong Generation True Buddha Temple, the rest are not a threat!"

This statement made Zhang Rongfang look at him with new respect.

Clearly, the guide and bodyguard that his master arranged for him was very capable.

"Thank you, senior brother. Now I can rest assured," he said, clasping his hands in a fist salute.

The two were chatting idly on the boat, waiting for the departure time.

The boat owner set the time for half an hour later.

Time passed little by little.

As the time drew near, the sailors began to gather the thick ropes tied to the Dock, lifted the anchor, and prepared to load the planks onto the ship.

Suddenly, a figure rapidly approached from a distance, stepped off the Dock, and leaped into the air.

The person flipped several times in mid-air and landed lightly on the gunwale of Zhang Rongfang and Ding Zhong amidst gasps of surprise from those around them.

"Brother Ding, it's been many years. You're still the same as ever, always meddling in other people's business."

The newcomer had white hair and beard, wore a black Python Robe, and stood on the ship's railing. He was tall and strong, with his hands behind his back, exuding the air of a master.

"Prince Yan Yan Xi?!" Ding Zhong's confident expression changed instantly, and he quickly stood up.

Why would a master of the Sensing Gate suddenly appear here? He had a bad feeling.

He sensed something was wrong about what happened yesterday and immediately went out to check it out that night.

Upon discovering that one of Kong Ming's group was missing, he immediately became alert.

The next morning, he reminded Zhang Rongfang.

He originally thought that with such a small number of people, he would be confident in protecting them.

But now... they've arrived so quickly!

"Master Ding's disguise as a member of the True One Sect is quite convincing, you know."

On the Dock below the ship.

Kong Ming and his group of monks laughed loudly as they approached.

"If it weren't for the fact that I, this This Buddha Son, can remember anyone I've met even once, I would probably have been fooled by Master Ding by now."

"Grandmaster Yan, thank you for your help this time." Kong Ming bowed respectfully to Prince Yan Yan Xi from afar.

"Serving the Chief Seat is the proper course of action." Yan Xi said calmly, her gaze fixed on Ding Zhong.

"Ding Zhong, let's go aside and talk to the rest of us old folks. We should leave the rest to the younger generation." His voice was gentle, but the meaning behind his words made Ding Zhong's expression change again.

He never expected the Western Sect to act so quickly. Most importantly, they had mobilized so many forces. "This is troublesome," Ding Zhong took a deep breath and glanced at Zhang Rongfang beside him. "Yan Xi is a veteran grandmaster, and Worship God. That Kong Ming is at least a Three Voids cultivator; we can't fight them head-on. I'll hold them off for a while, you find a direction and run! I know your agility is exceptional; now is the time to use it!"

Zhang Rongfang's expression turned grave, knowing that the situation was not good.

Since the Western Sect was able to react so quickly and even send people and grandmasters to track them down, it means that they no longer care about directly breaking off relations.

I'm afraid the situation in Great Capital is not good either.

He originally planned to accumulate Attribute Points on the road to upgrade his Golden Toad Skill level, but he never expected to encounter so many things as soon as he set off.

"Don't resist!"

Before he could react, a large hand suddenly grabbed his arm.

A tremendous force swept over, spinning Zhang Rongfang around before sending him hurtling away into the distance!

By the time Zhang Rongfang realized what was happening, Ding Zhong had already thrown him dozens of meters away.

With a thud, Zhang Rongfang lurched forward a few steps to dissipate the impact. Looking back, he saw Ding Zhong and Yan Xi fighting on the boat.

Meanwhile, Kong Ming and the others turned and charged towards them.

"Walk!"

Ding Zhong shouts echoed from afar.

Zhang Rongfang immediately ran away, quickly moving away along the edge of the riverbank.

Perfect.

He had long wanted to travel alone, Ding Zhong by his side, he dared not reveal any of his strength.

They were so restrained that they didn't even dare to catch bad guys and restore their flesh and blood.

Now that Western Sect and the others have followed and are keeping Ding Zhong, preventing him from getting in the way, this is exactly what he wanted.

After that, birds will be free to fly in the sky and fish will be free to leap in the sea!

Zhang Rongfang used his External Medicine and his speed to rush forward like a madman.

After passing through two Woodland, on the third hilly slope.

He was eventually caught up by Kong Ming and the others.

In the dense Woodland.

Only Zhang Rongfang, Kong Ming, and two evil monks were present.

The surroundings were quiet and deserted; not even a single wild animal could be seen.

Standing still, Zhang Rongfang took a deep breath and could already smell the faint Flesh and Blood Aroma emanating from Kong Ming and the other two.

The aroma was faint, but present. Perfect, Ding Zhong and no other onlookers were around. And being deep in the mountains Zhang Rongfang felt a stirring of desire.

Since there's no one around, why not... "Run? Let's see where you can run to!" Kong Ming chuckled and walked step by step toward Zhang Rongfang.

"Let's see where you can run to today!"

"Take him down!" Kong Ming shouted sharply and lunged forward.

Zhang Rongfang was overjoyed. He didn't even need to lift a finger; he had never seen meat he would put in his mouth before. Sigh!

Suddenly, a sharp whooshing sound came rapidly from not far away.

A circular phantom spun rapidly, slashing fiercely towards Kong Ming.

Clang! Kong Ming raised his hand and struck out, dispelling the circular phantom. But he himself was also knocked to the side by the immense force, staggering several steps.

"Who is it?!" he shouted, looking sharply in the direction from which the illusory figure had come.

"Wish Wheel!" Suddenly he recognized the circular weapon that had been flung away and stuck in the ground. It was none other than the Wish Wheel, another of the most iconic weapons of the Great Dao Sect! In the distance, a White Shadow swiftly leaped and darted among the trees in the forest, approaching this place.

A short while later, the White Shadow landed lightly and stood in front of Zhang Rongfang.

It was a tall man dressed in a white Daoist Robe, with silver-white arms.

This person has a handsome face and a constant, gentle smile, making it impossible for anyone to feel any ill will towards him at first glance.

"My name is Ding Rui."

"Seeing injustice, I drew my sword to help. I simply couldn't stand seeing you three martial arts masters bullying a weak Wen Xiu."
