Chapter 407: Provocation

Meng Zhang and the others didn't have to wait long before two groups of cultivators arrived almost simultaneously.

The larger group consisted of five cultivators, but their strengths varied. Aside from the young cultivator leading the group, who had a Cultivation Base at Foundation Building completion, the other four seemed to be followersa cultivator at Foundation Building late stage and three at Foundation Building middle stage.

The other group had four cultivators, with two at Foundation Building completion and two at Foundation Building late stage.

In the harsh environment of the Deadly Sea of Sand, one needed at least a Cultivation Base at Foundation Building middle stage to dare to enter. For a more comfortable experience, a team of cultivators with Foundation Building late stage abilities would be necessary.

The two groups of cultivators knew each other.

"Young Master Lu, why did you leave Great Wind City's comfort and bring your entourage to the Deadly Sea of Sand to eat sand?" one of the cultivators taunted.

"Wang Qiquan, as a young master, I don't need to explain my actions to a bunch of lackeys like you," Lu Chao retorted.

Both groups seemed ready to confront each other from the moment they spoke.

Jue Ying, having spent many years in the black market of Jiuqu League, was well-informed about many cultivators in the league. She secretly sent a message to Meng Zhang, revealing the backgrounds of the two groups.

The young cultivator was Lu Chao, an elite cultivator of the Lu Family in Great Wind City. The other four seemed to be his subordinates.

The other four cultivators belonged to a small but somewhat famous loose cultivator group within Jiuqu League.

The leader, Wang Qiquan, was at Foundation Building completion, while the other Foundation Building completion cultivator was Ning Bo. There were also two twin brothers, Qian Kaiyu and Qian Kaizhou.

Generally, most loose cultivators in the Cultivation World had low talent and couldn't join sects. Some were expelled from sects or became loose cultivators after their families were destroyed.

Additionally, some cultivators yearned for an unrestrained life and didn't want to be bound by sect rules, so they chose not to join any cultivation sects. Wang Qiquan and Ning Bo seemed to belong to the latter category.

The four of them had decent talent and cultivation bases. They got along well and achieved some success while wandering in the Cultivation World.

Listening to Jue Ying's explanation, Meng Zhang was amazed. A loosely organized group like this in Jiuqu League likely had a strength surpassing most cultivation factions in the Endless Sea of Sand.

Lu Family was the number one family in Great Wind City, ranking above the Gu Yue Family, and they held real power in the city.

Unexpectedly, just moments ago, Ye Feifan was standing there perfectly fine, but now he had vanished into green smoke.

Lu Chao was stunned at first, then burst into rage. He shouted in anger and flew in the direction where the green smoke had disappeared, followed closely by his four subordinates.

Wang Qiquan and the others naturally wouldn't let their prey escape and followed suit.

Meng Zhang and the two women exchanged glances. They all had the idea of taking advantage of the situation to get rid of Ye Feifan, so they also joined the chase.

Ye Feifan used his Smoke Escape technique, which excelled in concealment but wasn't particularly fast among various escape techniques.

Although he had taken the initiative and fled a considerable distance, the pursuers quickly caught up and kept him under close surveillance.

Lu Chao was the first to catch up, using his attacks to disrupt Ye Feifan's escape technique.

Ye Feifan had no choice but to reveal his true form and engage in a brief battle with Lu Chao.

With more pursuers behind him, he couldn't afford to waste too much time and continued fleeing.

With so many cultivators at Foundation Building level present, and all of them possessing decent strengths, Ye Feifan's cultivation base and combat prowess didn't matter. As long as he wasn't a Gold Core Daoist Master, he was no match for them.

Ye Feifan fought while escaping, never staying in one place for too long.

Due to the varying levels of Cultivation Base among the pursuers, the chasing group stretched out quite a bit.

Lu Chao, Wang Qiquan, and Ning Bo chased in the front, firmly trapping Ye Feifan, making it difficult for him to escape.

Meng Zhang knew that a crafty character like Ye Feifan likely had several hidden tricks up his sleeve. He intentionally fell behind, letting others scout the way.

Meanwhile, the other cultivators simply couldn't keep up, so they gradually fell further behind.

However, with Lu Chao and others restricting Ye Feifan, he couldn't shake off the pursuers and escape completely.

Thus, everyone chased and escaped together, flying northward.
