“Jordan, where are you going?” Mona Jones was very confused as she followed him out of Same Spirit City.
Barne didn’t say anything, so Mona Jones didn’t dare to ask.
Since Barne had his own arrangements, it was not her turn to talk nonsense. But Barne didn’t go far.
After walking about 15 kilometers out of Same Spirit City, he stopped in the wild.
Although it was called a wilderness, it was not so desolate because it was not far from Same Spirit City. However, this place was much more spacious than the city.
Barne found an open space, set up a small spiritual Qi gathering formation, and then sat cross-legged to meditate.
Mona blinked as she watched from the side.
It seemed that Barne was going to meditate in the wild all night!
Soon, Mona could feel the surrounding spiritual Qi gathering toward Barne in the center of formation.
‘It seems so…’ Mona Jones thought.
Since Barne had chosen to meditate in the wild, it was naturally inconvenient for Mona to leave.
Naturally, other people would handle the family’s affairs. The task she gave herself these days was to help Barne buy some maps of the Evil Rainforest Range.
In fact, she had her own reasons for doing so. There was a considerable portion of these maps that the Jones family did not have.
After Barne stopped purchasing, Mona wanted to discuss it with him and see if she could buy some from Barne as a member of the Jones family.
Barne was passing by. Ludwig might not come again after he went to the Evil Mountain Range. However, the Jones family was different.
The foundation of the Jones family was in Same Spirit City. Like many other families, they lived in Evil Mountain Range. If there were more maps, it would help the Jones family improve their strength.
With such an idea, Mona began to meditate a few hundred feet away from Barne. She was worried that Barne would dislike her if she got closer. After all, there were many rules between cultivators.
‘You’re so close to me. Who knows if you’re coveting my cultivation method, especially in a place like the wild. Because of something like this, there’re many fights…’
***
Time passed little by little.
It was almost noon when they returned to Same Spirit City.
It took some time for them to leave the White family and buy the maps. When Barne and Mona came to the wild, it was already evening.
By now, the sun had completely fallen into the horizon.
As the sun set, the moon rose. However, because of the weather in Same Spirit City, it was still very hot and humid even in March and at night.
Fortunately, cultivators were invulnerable to the cold and summer. If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely feel extremely hot in the wild at this moment, and his body would be soaked in sweat.
At first, Mona would raise her head from time to time and look at Barne.
As time went by, she was also affected by his focus on cultivation and entered the state of cultivation. Although she did not benefit from spiritual Qi gathering formation of Jordan, it was rare for her to be so efficient because of her concentration. Even Mona herself was very surprised.
When it was half past midnight, spiritual Qi in Mona’s body happened to circulate a circle, so that she could be distracted to pay attention to the surrounding situation.
Just as she looked in the direction of Jordan, her vision suddenly blurred. The next moment, she was surprised to find that Barne was no longer there.
“Huh?” Mona asked subconsciously.
Just as she was about to jump up and look around for Jordan, a frightening white light suddenly flashed in a forest diagonally ahead, accompanied by a muffled sound like thunder.
Although the sound was not loud, it was shocking. Mona’s eyelids twitched and her heart thumped. Soon, she came to her senses.
‘Something’s wrong!’
So she fixed her eyes on it. However, to her surprise, there was no movement in the dense forest after the white light and the muffled sound.
Instantly, the surroundings became quiet again. Time suddenly came to a standstill.
Mona couldn’t believe it. It was so quiet that she couldn’t help feeling dazed.
“Did I just have an illusion?”
Just as she was hesitating whether she should go over and take a look, the moon just came out of the clouds again. The moonlight shone on Mona and she saw Barne walking out of the dense forest.
Ludwig did not come out alone. There was also a person in his left and right hands.
Seeing this, Mona’s eyes widened.
After a while, Barne came back.
Mona also hurried forward and looked at the two people thrown on the ground by Barne.
At this moment, their faces were dark and their hair stood on end. One of them opened his mouth and was smoking.
After a moment of hesitation, Mona asked, “Jordan, these two people are…”
“What right do you have to ambush us?!” Before Barne could speak, one of the two suddenly glared and shouted.
The man’s face had just been hit by the God of Thunder of Barne. His whole face was as black as the bottom of a pot. As a result, when he opened his eyes wide, they looked white and round.
Ludwig grimaced, which made his white teeth look exceptionally smooth under the moonlight. In short, it was a funny and horrible feeling.
“We were just passing by. What right do you have to ambush us? Do you know where this is? Do you really think that there are no cultivators in Same Spirit City?” The man became more and more arrogant when he saw that Barne did not speak.
If he hadn’t been hit by the lightning and couldn’t move, he would have jumped up from the ground and poked two holes in Barne’s chest.
Mona crossed her arms and looked at him coldly. She had already guessed that these two people were definitely not as pure and kind as they said.
Since Barne had taken action, he must have noticed them. However, Barne still did not respond at this time.
The man seemed to have misunderstood something. His eyes were as wide as copper bells, and his saliva was splashing everywhere.
“I’m telling you, apologize to me now and tell me where you came from. Otherwise, you have attacked us and hurt us without any evidence. Do you know that you have caused big trouble? This is Same Spirit City, and it’s not your place to act wildly!” The man was cursing and making a lot of noise, which made Mona frown.
She wondered why Barne did not respond at all. In her impression, Barne shouldn‘t have been this kind of person to swallow his anger.
Barne looked into the distance and muttered, “The person behind them hasn’t come out yet. Then out off their legs.”
“I’m telling you, this Same Spirit City…” The man was still talking, but when he heard Barne’s words, his voice immediately stopped and he was stunned.
His chest was still rising and falling, but there was no more movement. “You, you… I…”
“Who do you think you are? How dare you ask me for evidence?” Barne squinted at him, curled his lips, and waved his sword.
