"Yeah, why? Do you have a problem with our Leg Hall?" Wu Kong knew their Leg Hall's reputation wasn't great outside. After all, they could kill without a trace, and some assassins even poisoned people, which could get blamed on them. So, Ye Tianfan's more guarded demeanor after hearing he was from the Leg Hall was quite normal to Wu Kong. He was, of course, teasing Ye Tianfan.

If someone hears you're from the Leg Hall and is still not wary, they're either a fool or have some kind of scheme.

Of course, Wu Kong meant no harm, just curiosity seeing someone flying in the sky during a thunderstorm and then getting struck down by lightning. So he came over to take a look, besides Ye Tianfan didn't land far from where he lived.

"No, not at all. I'm just surprised to find someone from the Gu Sect here; it's a fortunate encounter!" Ye Tianfan didn't dare provoke Wu Kong now. Who knew if he would poison him directly, especially since he didn't have any antidote with him.

Ye Tianfan was not too afraid of poisons, though. If he could endure them, he could become immune. Besides, Ye Tianfan's resistance to poison was much higher than ordinary people. The only fear was the Gu insects burrowing and eating your insides.

No matter how sturdy your exterior is, your internal organs aren't very robust, being extremely soft. Even if they got strengthened, they couldn't withstand the gnawing of Gu insects.

At that time, they'd bite you to death inside your body. Furthermore, when biting, the Gu insects often inject anesthetic saliva into the spot, making you unaware of your insides being chewed.

Until the Gu insects chew your organs to a point where they can no longer sustain you, then switch to another organ to bite.

Finally, when all your organs are chewed to the brink, and that threshold breaks, your suffering would make you wish for death.

Therefore, Ye Tianfan now had wrapped the Xuanhuang Pagoda tightly around himself. His divine sense covered a meter around his body to prevent those stealthy Gu insects from getting close.

"Fortunate? I think it's unfortunate," Wu Kong laughed and said, "No need to be so wary. I'm not like those brothers who love to kill innocent people. I prefer peace, as long as you don't provoke me. By the way, you're standing on a nest of Golden Centipedes. They're not very good-tempered, so if you stand for too long, they might retaliate."

Hearing this, Ye Tianfan hurriedly took a few steps back. Though he let down some of his guard after hearing Wu Kong, he still didn't trust him entirely.

Seeing Ye Tianfan still distrustful, Wu Kong pouted and said, "Come on, sit at my place for a while. This rain isn't going to stop anytime soon. But come if you want, it's up to you." After saying this, Wu Kong turned to leave. "Oh, and you're standing on a Golden Scorpion's nest now."

Upon hearing this, Ye Tianfan took a few more steps to the side, watching Wu Kong's departing figure. He hesitated for a bit but eventually followed.

"I'm indeed tired these days, and I'm carrying the Xuanhuang Pagoda. The Fire Lotus Sword is also ready. It's unlikely he can break my defenses easily. Moreover, Ye Tianfan felt that Wu Kong's strength wasn't above his own. At worst, he wouldn't eat anything given by him."

Ye Tianfan followed Wu Kong into a sand cave, which was just a large hole dug into the desert ground. He saw Wu Kong descend diagonally, and just as his figure was about to disappear, he waved at Ye Tianfan to hurry over.

Ye Tianfan quickened his pace to catch up.

As Ye Tianfan entered the sand cave, he wondrously realized that the rain outside didn't reach inside the cave at all.

Once Ye Tianfan entered, the opening sealed itself, viewed from his angle, as if covered with a layer of sand.

If sand covered the entrance in this manner, Ye Tianfan might not find it even after a month of searching.

Seeing Ye Tianfan interested in the rainproof entrance, Wu Kong explained, "I set up an array at the entrance to block wind and rain, and disguised it a little. That's all."

Ye Tianfan smiled at Wu Kong's explanation but didn't respond.

After introducing his place, Wu Kong didn't care whether Ye Tianfan responded and directly moved inside.

Contrary to expectations, the interior was spacious and bright, as if bathed in sunlight, not at all like the dark place he imagined.

"Sit! Do you want some water?" Wu Kong first let Ye Tianfan sit down and offered him water but then laughed: "I bet you wouldn't dare to drink it anyway, very normal. Just sit; you can leave after the rain stops!"

Having said that, Wu Kong also sat down beside him, without intending to pour Ye Tianfan any water.

Ye Tianfan shrugged and sat down.

The two sat awkwardly for a while before Wu Kong broke the silence, "What is a disciple of the Taichu Sect doing in the Ancient Wilderness this time? Are you here to seize the century-breeding hundred-winged gold cicada?"

"Hundred-winged gold cicada? What's that?" Ye Tianfan was puzzled by the name. What would he do with it? He's not into cultivating Gu insects.

"You're not here to seize the hundred-winged gold cicada? Then what are you doing here in this dust storm?" Wu Kong inquired, puzzled.

"I heard the demon beasts here are quite plenty, tough and durable, so I came here for training," Ye Tianfan replied.

"..." Wu Kong was stunned by Ye Tianfan's answer and uncertainly asked, "Are you sure you're here for training, fighting demon beasts? Not after the hundred-winged gold cicada?"

Is there a need to confirm? Ye Tianfan was confused. Why always harp on the hundred-winged gold cicada? He's not into cultivating Gu, and it's his first time hearing the name.

"I'm indeed here for training. I heard the name hundred-winged gold cicada for the first time."

After hearing this, Wu Kong nodded silently and quietly said, "Then I think you've come to the wrong place!"

"Come to the wrong place?" Ye Tianfan asked in confusion. Impossible, he had asked Yu Shan before coming. How could it be wrong? "What do you mean? How is it wrong? Isn't this the Ancient Wilderness?"

"Yes, this is the Ancient Wilderness, but it's the Southern Ancient. It belongs to our Gu Sect's territory. We've driven the demon beasts to the north. If you're training, you should go to the Northern Ancient. So you've come to the wrong place!"
