Not long after Wang Ba returned to the Eastern Saint Garrison by Teleportation Array, Yu Changchun hurried over.
Seeing that Wang Ba was actually still in one piece, despite looking somewhat bedraggled, he was both surprised and delighted.
"I knew you were a man blessed with good fortune, fellow Daoist."
Though Wang Ba was in low spirits, he still managed to force a smile.
"You flatter me, Senior Yu. If I were blessed with good fortune, I would have become a disciple of the sect long ago."
Yu Changchun dispensed with such empty pleasantries and said with feeling:
"I heard everything from my martial uncle. This time was truly dangerous! Who would have thought Moon-Mirror Prefecture's supreme elder actually had a treasure like the Soul-Dispersing Divine Light? I heard several of the Joyous Life Dao's Foundation Establishment true cultivators died. They really tried to steal a chicken only to lose their rice this time."
As he spoke, he made no effort to hide his delight at the Joyous Life Dao's misfortune.
Clearly, although they belonged to the same sect, he truly looked down on the Joyous Life Dao.
"I must also thank you for putting in a good word for me with Senior Bai."
Wang Ba hurriedly cupped his hands in thanks, then could not help asking curiously:
"Senior Yu, may I ask just what this Soul-Dispersing Divine Light is? How can it be so powerful?"
"I don't know the specifics either. All I know is that it can shake the Divine Soul and spirit, invisibly stripping a cultivator's Divine Soul from their body. If their Divine Soul is weak, a casual sweep can annihilate it, leaving nothing but an empty shell of flesh. As for Qi Refining cultivators caught in its sweep... you presumably know better than I do."
