The person Wang Ba was having some qualms about was Hua Meng, who gave him a rather positive impression and seemed like someone worth befriending.
However, their relationship was not that deep after all, at most, it was a decent superior-subordinate relationship. Wang Ba was not willing to risk his life to save him.
Therefore, after some consideration, he decided to abandon him directly.
After all, he had the Spiritl Ear with him and could 'listen in' on the conversations of the Incense-burning Dao Cultivators, to figure out which places were safe and which were not.
For example, the 'Qianyu Lake', a place that could cause the Incense-burning Dao Cultivators to lose manpower and be wary of, might be a good choice if he had no other way to go.
What puzzled Wang Ba was that there seemed to be no mark of Qianyu Lake on the map he remembered.
However, he chalked it up to his lack of attention and planned to study it later when it was safe.
The Spiritl Ear was loud and chaotic.
