Wang Ba was momentarily taken aback.
But he immediately understood the wariness in his master's heart.
Staying by his side, he feared the reoccurrence of that incident from West Sea Country.
Although he had now stepped into the Immortal Ascension stage, no one knew what the acting sect master was thinking.
And he wasn't entirely at ease with the idea of returning to the sect either.
Thinking of this, Wang Ba wanted to offer more reassurances, but Yao Wudi was adamant:
"Now that the Primitive Demonic Sect and our sect have allied, it's unlikely that people from the Demon Sect will attack you again. Set out in a couple of days and go to Sen State, An State, or to the south—to Fanyu, Hailing, or Heichi, any of these places will do!"
"Traveling will broaden your horizons, and that's good for you."
With no other choice, Wang Ba could only nod.
"Yes, Master."
