Chapter 2835 — A Fragrant Pouch for You

"No, it's not that—her aura is a lot like yours!" Heaven Thunder Pig shook its head and wrote.
"Like mine?" Wei Zhao was briefly startled, then understood at once. Tian Chan was a cultivator of the five elements, and so was he; it made sense, then, that Heaven Thunder Pig would sense a similarity in their auras.
"Oink oink..." Heaven Thunder Pig nodded.
Perhaps it really was because he and Tian Chan were so alike that he felt such an indefinable fondness for her? Wei Zhao thought it over—perhaps that was the only explanation.
After descending the mountain range, Wei Zhao set off toward the safe zone, guided by the directions on his map. At first he encountered no spirit beasts, but the farther he went, the more of them began to appear in the wildlands. It was just as it had been before: evidently the Five Baleful Mountains truly were forbidden ground to these beasts, and he met them again only after he had gone some distance.
The pouch Tian Chan had given him, however, proved very useful. As Wei Zhao walked along, the spirit beasts that spotted him from afar showed no inclination to attack. They were only low-grade beasts, yellow rank at that, and Heaven Thunder Pig could easily have suppressed any of them—but none of them showed the slightest wish to come near.
"Heaven Thunder Pig, do you think I look like a spirit beast right now?" Wei Zhao asked, curious.
"Oink oink..." Heaven Thunder Pig nodded, then shook its head.
"All right..." Wei Zhao had asked only idly. He had no real desire to understand the principle behind it. Many treasures of the cultivation world have no principle worth delving into.
After a full day and night of hard travel, Wei Zhao finally reached the safe zone. Fast as he had been, the Five Baleful wildlands were simply too vast—no wonder the trial had allowed everyone fifteen to twenty days to make their way.
As he drew near the safe zone, Wei Zhao's brow suddenly furrowed. He sensed that there was more than one heaven-rank expert inside—three of them, in fact. Or rather, four!
For Li Ciba was an external cultivator, and Wei Zhao's golden finger could not sense his level of power. But Wei Zhao could sense the rank of heaven-grade experts, and within this safe zone there were three heaven-rank internal cultivators!
Could there be other heaven-rank experts hiding here besides Feng Shihua and Li Ciba? At that thought, Wei Zhao's steps grew hesitant. Friend or foe, he could not yet tell, and if Feng Shihua and Li Ciba truly were inside, well and good—but if the people in the safe zone were not them, but another band of three heaven-rank experts, then Wei Zhao would stand even less chance against them.
Still, if it were another group, then where had Feng Shihua, Li Ciba, and the others gone? RS
