Chapter 309: Familliar name

"Dammit! Who are you!? That crude swordsmanship, that raw power, who are you!?" A second meridian Immortal shouted at Wang Ling while he himself was on his knees bleeding. His eyes was full of wrath, but

Pah! A clean slap on the face woke him up from the delusions that he was above the ash haired monster before him. Soon enough, he was shaking as he felt the deep killing intent boring upon his body.

"Shut it, you have the energy to shout like that even though I just beat you in one move means that you have confidence. Answer me, who's the one making things difficult for the newcomers?"

The Black Dragons Final Battlefield was a vast land that is separated by levels accessible only to people who meet the requirements set by the Ancients. Even before coming here, Wang Ling already deduced something there are different forces formed by 'geniuses'.

Forming a faction is natural. To form a group was the instinct of beings, even beast does it and those who walk on two legs are even more prevalent to bipedal beings. Wang Ling had already deduced that there are people who will do these things to newcomers.

It may just be so they can recruit others or take their belongings, but these kinds of acts are natural even in the Celestial Spirit Realm. He only avoided such acts because he was the one who did the looting and not the other way around.

Thinking about looting an entire sect, through his legal and illegal means made Wang Ling smile in nostalgia. Oh, the was good old times. Well, it is not like he can't do it here anyway, so, Wang Ling will do what he will when the time calls for it.

But right, now, Wang Ling will deal with these people first. Stabbing his sword to the ground, just a few centimeters away from that lively 'genius' Wang Ling exchanged stares with him and then spoke with a passive and unfeeling voice, "Spout more nonsense and I will cut off a finger make an attempt to rebuke and I'll destroy your foundation. Destroying your foundation is as easy as destroying this whole forest."

The second meridian Immortal did not dare say anything out of spite. He can tell, from Wang Ling's killing intent and his eyes that he will do what he says. He may be a genius but he is not a warrior, he was may have confidence, but that is just the arrogance of the ignorant!

Standing before Wang Ling who had faced all forms of adversaries is just like a bunny standing before a Dragon waiting to be devoured.

Wang Ling finally showed a smile when the second meridian Immortal finally kept his silence and with the noisiest keeping his silence, the others quickly followed.

"Good, you seem to have a brain after all. Okay, what are you guys doing lying in wait near the formation? It can't be that you have been anticipating us, we appeared here without any warnings."

The second meridian Immortal was scared, but he managed to piece together what little courage he had and managed to eke out the words Wang Ling was trying to find, "We are a part of a Guild known as Ravaging Beast Guild, and we take turns waiting for people to enter this place. We are to assess them if they are worthy to join the Ravaging Beast Guild. There are other guilds here just a couple of meters away, who is after the same thing as us though I doubt they are still there after your display of power. I answered your question, um, can you get the sword away from us? And if you could, can you please call back your killing intent? The others are suffocating."

An earnest request, and for some odd reason, Wang Ling listened to his request and called his killing intent back just enough to let them breathe properly.

"Oh that is quite interesting, then your plan to ambush me was a means to test me and my companion over there so what makes you think we will join you guys if you attack us? Also, you guys are weak, why do you think I will even accept an invitation from someone as weak as you guys?"

The second meridian Immortal scratched his head and answered the awkward question, "Um, this is not what's supposed to happen. Well, what just happened is a rare thing, only the people who have the chance to stand at the top 500 can do something like this, so"

Wang Ling finally kept his silence and then smiled in a sly manner.

"Final question, do you have any map or this place and what is the means that you guys use to know the rankings? If you do, give them to me and then give me a 50,000 Meteor Stones collectively, then you can leave."

"Really?"

"Yeah, just do it, I am feeling rather tired on taking care of things, I am to find someone, give me a map, hurry."

The second meridian Immortal didn't seem to believe his words and doubt appeared in his eyes, Wang Ling saw this and was irritated, "What? Do you wish to stay here longer?"

"No, no, wait a minute." The second meridian took some time and handed Wang Ling, everyone, a few minutes later. The 50,000 Meteor Stones can easily be handed out by these guys, they are, after all, rich scions of big Clans and sects.

Wang Ling was handed an ancient-looking map, and Wang Ling checked the contents, and his face suddenly showed a beaming smile as he called for Fjord, "Brother Fjord, let us go, we are to head for the Ancient Desolate Mountains!"

Fjord was confused but he quickly followed Wang Ling and headed west with him leaving the seven behind. After Wang Ling disappeared to the distance, the second meridian Immortal finally gained his courage back and he began to curse out Wang Ling.

"That bastard! Let us go, we are to report to Senior Brother Pesa, let's go, he said he heading for the Ancient Desolate Mountains correct? We can find him there later! Senior Brother Pesa will get revenge for us. He will not stand for his brothers and sisters being humiliated in such a manner, what do you say?"

The other six young Immortals found the idea to wonderful and hurried over to the Feral City, the city Fjord and Wang Ling originally wanted to go to.

Fjord looked at Wang Ling who was flying away with confusion and as his curiosity finally got the best of him he couldn't stop himself from asking, "Brother Wang Ling, I thought you didn't know where your companion was? You didn't even know anyone in here, right?"

Wang Ling stopped dead on his tracks and then turned to Fjord with his passive look present on his countenance, "That's right, I don't know where she is, that's why we are going to change direction now."

With that sudden decision, Wang Ling changed his direction from the Ancient Desolate Mountains to the city towards the south, another abrupt shift to their destination.

"Brother Wang Ling, what are you doing? What is it with this sudden shifts?"

Wang Ling gave him a glance before providing him a much-needed explanation, "Sigh, look here, from the number of information we have been given I think it can easily be assumed as the people of that Ravaging Beast Guild is based on that east city, I just humiliated their one of their men and a 'genius' for better or worst has too much pride, and if we head there they will come for us in order to what they call save face. So, to avoid all those hustles, what should we do?"

"Avoid them."

"That is correct, and what is the best way to do that?"

"Hide? But my warrior blood will not let me sit still, I need to fight them if they wish for trouble. I can take on anyone under the third meridian no problem!"

Wang Ling sighed at his answers, "Well by your standards hiding will be the best possible answer, but it is much better for us to mislead them. Announce that we are headed for the Ancient Desolate Mountains and change direction soon after, they will try to find us, when we are not even in the location, that way, they will not be troubling us and if we want to, we can still take care of them later."

Fjord was speechless to Wang Ling's plan and with a laugh, he looked at Wang Ling, "Hahaha, so you mean tricking them? That is quite the plan, dupe them like fools, I like your devious mind, Brother Wang Ling. I am so lucky that I am coincidentally traveling with you."

"Stop it with that thing, already." Wang Ling scolded and then started rummaging through the items he had asked them to give him, Wang Ling picked up a black tablet two inches in size and then had his Immortal Qi enter it.

Inside the Black Tablet, was 500 names of the strongest young Immortals in this place, and as Wang Ling browse them for the name of Bai Xue, something caught his attention and made him broke into a burst of wild laughter.

"Hahaha, even the Lower Heaven is a small place after all!" A peal of rare laughter came out of Wang Ling as he saw the familiar name Yan Renhuo!
