Chapter 173: Blocked Again



"I didn't expect that the cold air wouldn't significantly improve my body, but instead the system gave my physique an unprecedented boost. The system is truly my ultimate master." At this moment, Bai Hao could feel his body undergoing a complete transformation.

This feeling is simply wonderful!

"I've been here for quite a while now, it's time to go out and see the world." After calming down, Bai Hao turned and left the ancestral land, returning to the sect's main hall.

Bai Hao had just returned when he ran into Jiang Bai and eagerly stepped forward to ask, "How is it? Can we go back now?"

Jiang Bai looked anxious and was already quite impatient.

Two days ago, Bai Hao promised to wipe out the remnants of the Divine Sea Sect who were lying in ambush outside the sect, but three days have passed and Bai Hao has been inside the ancestral land until now. He hasn't even left the sect, let alone wiped out the ambush.

Jiang Bai couldn't wait any longer, and as soon as he saw Bai Hao come out, he rushed over.

Bai Hao hadn't forgotten, but he was cultivating in the ancestral land and got carried away, which caused him to miss some time.

He scratched his head somewhat sheepishly and said, "Are you ready? I'll take you out now."

Bai Hao was too embarrassed to say anything more. He understood Jiang Bai and the others' feelings, so he didn't think Jiang Bai had done anything wrong; on the contrary, he felt embarrassed himself.

Upon hearing Bai Hao's words, Jiang Bai's face lit up with joy, and he said, "We are ready and can set off at any time."

"Alright, I'll wait for you at the foot of the mountain. Once you're ready, you can set off."

With that, Bai Hao headed straight for the foot of the mountain, while Jiang Bai turned around to find Zheng Long and the others.

...

At the foot of the mountain, where he used to be able to enter and exit freely, he could now clearly sense that a barrier was enveloping the area. This barrier was set up by Su Yuewan to prevent the group of madmen from the Divine Sea Sect from breaking in.

This barrier has no effect on the disciples of the Falling Sea Sect.

Bai Hao stepped out of the mountain gate, his divine sense rapidly spreading outwards, exploring every inch of the surrounding vegetation.

However, according to his perception, there were no disciples of the Divine Sea Sect lying in ambush nearby.

This is quite normal. No matter how reckless they are, it's still too arrogant for them to ambush the Falling Sea Sect's mountain gate. Besides, Bai Hao had just killed one of their elders when he returned not long ago.

The Divine Sea Sect must be in complete disarray now. They will either become even more frantic and recklessly try to fight the Falling Sea Sect to the death, or they will calm down and dare not make any rash moves.

As for which one it is, it's hard to say right now.

Before long, Jiang Bai and the others came down from the mountain—a group of more than ten people, mostly the same group that had come with them before. Now that they were going back to find their relatives, they naturally went together.

"How is it?" The first thing Jiang Bai did upon arriving here was to look at Bai Hao with an inquiring gaze, meaning he wanted to know how the surrounding situation was.

"Nothing unusual has been found yet, let's go." After quietly counting the number of people, Bai Hao didn't have much to say and led the way with Jiang Bai, asking casually,

"Where are you going to get back from? I've never been to the Western Regions before."

He had only been to the Northern Regions and the Central Regions; he had not yet been to the Western Regions, but he had heard that the customs and culture there were very unique.

“There’s a place called ‘Huangshi City’ about fifty miles from here. Caravans travel there to the Western Regions. We went to Huangshi City from the Western Regions first, and then came here,” Jiang Bai said.

Actually, they originally planned to come and join the Divine Sea Sect, which was the most powerful sect at that time.

However, they were later "tricked" into joining by Bai Hao, and fortunately, the development of the Falling Sea Sect over the past year or so has not disappointed them. On the contrary, the current state of the Divine Sea Sect makes them somewhat glad that they didn't go there in the first place.

“I know Huangshi City. There are indeed caravans traveling from there to various places, which is good.” Bai Hao nodded.

"Fifty li, if I quicken my pace I can go directly through you, and I can make a round trip in a day."

Although it was just on foot, with their stamina, fifty li was quite easy for them, and they could get there in a little over an hour.

Because the journey wasn't very long, for safety reasons, Bai Hao decided to send them directly to Huangshi City.

"Alright, did you all hear what Senior Brother said? Hurry up and speed up!"

With a shout, the group quickened their pace and headed towards Huangshi City.

...

Huangshi City is located fifty miles southwest of Luohaizong.

In fact, Huangshi City is not a very prosperous large town, and it is not much better than Bailu Town.

However, the people of Huangshi City mainly made a living by transporting goods by caravans to various parts of the mainland or by providing transportation services.

Jiang Bai and his group were drawn to the fact that Huangshi City's caravans could travel to almost every part of the mainland—as long as the money was right, they could go anywhere.

Since the Western Regions and the Southern Regions are adjacent, there will definitely be caravans willing to go there.

After an hour and a half, the group finally saw the outline of Yellowstone City in the distance and could finally catch their breath.

"Alright, there's no need to rush." ​​Bai Hao took the lead in stopping, and everyone quickly followed suit, their faces covered in sweat and slightly out of breath.

They had been running continuously for an hour and a half to get here—even for cultivators, this was quite an exhaustion.

"Take a breather so you can travel better later."

Yellowstone is already in sight, and it's only afternoon, so there's plenty of time. No rush.

The group switched from running to walking, adjusting their breathing as they continued walking without stopping.

For them, this level of depletion is nothing; they can recover quickly.

Just then, a sharp whooshing sound came from the hidden bushes on both sides, which were streaks of fierce true energy!

Everyone was startled and immediately stopped in their tracks.

Bai Hao simply stomped his foot, and his domineering true energy directly blasted away all the incoming true energy streams!

"Come out."

He spoke calmly and indifferently.

At the same time, figures quickly emerged from the bushes on both sides of the road, blocking Bai Hao and his companions' path.

As expected, the people who came out were all from the Divine Sea Sect!

The one leading the group was an elder of the Divine Sea Sect—clearly dressed in clothes reserved for elders of the sect.

As for which elder it was, Bai Hao didn't recognize him. Almost all the elders he knew in the Divine Sea Sect were dead now, and the remaining elders were probably just filling in the ranks.

The Divine Sea Sect has many incompetent elders who can become elders simply by paying a lot of money.
