He swiftly put away the Spirit Beasts.
For Wang Ba, this had now become almost instinctive through practice.
Bu Chan also stopped practicing her Law Techniques and put away the Spirit Field.
Only after making certain nothing had been overlooked did Wang Ba open the door.
Standing outside were a tall, lean, hale cultivator dressed like a scholar and a burly man with rugged features.
Both offered friendly smiles upon seeing Wang Ba.
The scholar said cheerfully:
"My name is Yuan Wenzhi. You must be Fellow Daoist Shen? Quite an impressive young man indeed... old Kang has praised you a great deal to us!"
"That's right, that's right."
Beside him, the rugged Zhang Tailai looked rather simpleminded, nodding repeatedly in agreement.

Neither stood on ceremony, and they immediately followed Wang Ba into the residence.
Bang.
The gates closed behind them.
At the sight, the cultivators from the Three Great Sects who had been keeping watch outside wore varying expressions.
