Chapter 1177: Chapter 1177: Taoist Master Goes Crazy with You!

Wu De is now a Vast Level Martial Artist, and with his keen perception far surpassing that of other martial artists, he could be as aware as Fang Bai—able to watch every direction and listen to all sides. Even for a Cosmic Level Expert, approaching him silently would not be easy.

However, Fang Bai was able to completely conceal his own essence energy, easily deceiving Wu De and positioning himself behind him.

"What are you looking at?"

Fang Bai stretched out his left hand and, while speaking, lightly patted Wu De on the shoulder.

Wu De had been entirely focused on the Wind Valley ahead, completely unprepared for someone behind him, which made him terribly startled.

"Ah!"

Caught off guard by the sudden change, Wu De shouted loudly. His first reaction was to throw a punch behind him while his body surged forward.

Regardless of whether it’s a friend or foe behind him, Wu De’s thought was to first create a safe distance before anything else.

His movement was swift like lightning, rushing several meters forward. Then, suddenly turning around and looking carefully, he saw a handsome young man in a white shirt with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, smiling at him—it was none other than Fang Bai.

Wu De sighed in relief, rolled his eyes at Fang Bai, and said grumpily, "So it’s you! You really gave me a fright!"

Before Fang Bai could respond, Wu De continued, "Speaking of which, where’s Feng Lingtian’s sister? Did you manage to shake her off?"

Fang Bai had previously held back Feng Peilan to allow the disciples of Green Bamboo Stronghold and Gu Li to ambush Swiftwind Valley. Wu De had thought the two strong practitioners would be entangled for a long time, but to his surprise, he and the others reached Swiftwind Valley in just a short while, and Fang Bai had already arrived.

Feng Peilan was a Cosmic Level perfection expert, her strength was renowned across the Tiansheng Continent. Wu De assumed Fang Bai must have relied on his amazing movement technique to escape from her and then rushed here, without considering other possibilities.

After all, although Fang Bai possesses the special ability to fight above his level, Feng Peilan’s strength was acknowledged by even Gu Li to be slightly superior. For Fang Bai to escape from her grasp was quite an achievement.

"What if I said I killed that old lady, would you believe me?"

Fang Bai said with a smile.

"Of course not!"

Wu De shook his head vehemently and said, "That old lady’s strength is immense, even Stronghold Head Gu feels inferior to her; managing to hold your own against her is already something to be proud of!"

"I knew you wouldn’t believe it! But... take a look at what this is?"

Fang Bai raised his left hand, showing Wu De the Spatial Ring that belonged to Feng Peilan.

"Is this... a high-quality Spatial Ring? That old lady’s?"

Wu De’s gaze fixated on the Spatial Ring on Fang Bai’s finger, his face filled with disbelief.

Wu De had noticed the Spatial Ring on Feng Peilan’s finger when he saw her previously, and now, unexpectedly, it was in Fang Bai’s possession. It seemed that what Fang Bai had said was true; he truly had killed Feng Peilan. Otherwise, how could such an intimate and crucial possession for a martial artist like a Spatial Ring end up in Fang Bai’s hands?

Fang Bai did not continue the topic but pointed toward Wind Valley ahead and smiled, saying, "The cultivation resources stored in Swiftwind Valley should be within this Wind Valley, right?"

Wu De knew that if he could find this place, Fang Bai certainly could as well. It seemed impossible to monopolize the cultivation resources of Swiftwind Valley by himself. Reluctantly, he replied, "Yes, I have observed here for a while and found that Essence Energy keeps overflowing. It is evident that beneath the surface of this Wind Valley, there must be a location similar to the Underground Palace Treasure of Dragon Tiger Palace. However, I have yet to determine the entrance of the underground palace."

Fang Bai’s sensitivity to Heaven and Earth Origin Energy was much stronger than Wu De’s. His Divine Sense swept through the Wind Valley before him, then he pointed at the large storm and said, "The entrance is in the center of that storm."

"Ah?"

Wu De was stunned, looking at the large storm containing the power of heaven and earth and murmured, "If it’s really there, that would be troublesome... That storm is highly destructive; aside from the strong individuals of Swiftwind Valley, who would dare to venture into it? It’s outrageous for Swiftwind Valley to set the entrance of the underground palace there!"

"In the secular world, there is a saying, ’How can you capture tiger cubs without entering the tiger’s lair?’ Let’s go down and take a look!"

Saying this, Fang Bai leaped forward, using protruding rocks and vines hanging on the cliff to rapidly descend into the thousand-foot-deep valley of Wind Valley.

Wu De never expected Fang Bai to jump down so suddenly and was momentarily dumbfounded.

It must be noted that the Wind Valley was filled with intense Wind Essence Qi, especially at the bottom of the valley where the wind was even stronger, like thousands upon thousands of sharp blades. Being in it carelessly could lead to injury from the howling winds.

Just now, Wu De had stood at the edge of Wind Valley for a while but did not dare to take the risk of descending.

"For the sake of Swiftwind Valley’s cultivation resources, Taoist Master will join you in this madness!"

Watching Fang Bai’s figure getting farther and almost reaching the valley floor, Wu De, worried about being outpaced and having the best cultivation resources snatched away like at Dragon Tiger Palace, hesitated for a moment then stomped his foot and gritted his teeth before also leaping down.

The two of them reached the valley floor one after the other in a short while.

Here, closer to the center of the large storm in Wind Valley, the high-speed rotating storm emitted thunderous roars, deafening and making hearts tremble.

Even though the two were at the very edge of the valley floor, they still felt the impact of the storm’s power, with their hair and clothes whipping wildly, barely able to stand steadily, their skin feeling as if it were being sliced by countless sharp blades that whistled past.

Fang Bai circulated Wind Art, driving Wind Essence Qi, and soon merged with the surrounding violent winds, uninfluenced by any fierce wind conditions.

Wu De, however, had to activate Earth Element Qi to form a layer of Defense Qi Shield around himself to feel somewhat better.

"Brother Fang, are... are you also an Innate Wind Spirit Root?"

Sensing the pure Wind Essence Qi permeating around Fang Bai, Wu De found it unbelievable, his eyes bulging, almost falling to the ground.

Before this, Wu De knew that Fang Bai, being both an Alchemist and an Artifact Refiner, possessed wood, metal, and fire Innate Spiritual Roots and had immense potential in the path of Martial Dao. Unexpectedly, he also had an Innate Wind Spirit Root.

A martial artist possessing four major Innate Spiritual Roots was absolutely a monstrous talent in Martial Dao. This made Wu De both amazed and envious, thinking that with such high potential, it was exciting to imagine how far Fang Bai could go on the path of Martial Dao.

Fang Bai did not answer Wu De, his gaze fixed on the huge storm making thunderous noises and obscuring the sky, and suddenly he strode toward the storm.

"Brother Fang, wait for me!"

Thinking that Fang Bai, having even defeated a Cosmic Level perfection expert like Feng Peilan, possessed strength far beyond his imagination, and had an Innate Wind Spirit Root naturally close to Wind Essence Qi and thus fearless of the powerful storm, Wu De followed closely behind Fang Bai with a nervous heart, step by step approaching the center of the storm.
