Chapter 868: Not Bad La.s.s!
Back then, he was worried that his avatars’ Divine Will would be noticed by outsiders while his friends were carrying out the mission, bringing them unnecessary trouble and danger. Because of that, he cut their connection with him. That way, they would exist independently and could be hidden as much as possible, thereby preventing them from being discovered by outsiders.
As for the weakness, the Divine Will was like water without a source. It wouldn’t change because w.a.n.g Baole’s cultivation got stronger. So, it was still at the Soul Conduit level.
And what he sensed now made w.a.n.g Baole’s soul jolt. Without any hesitation, he flicked his body and sped towards the location where the Divine Will disturbance came from!
Who will it be? Zhao Yameng? Lin Tianhao? Li Wuchen? Liu Daobin? Or Jin Duoming?
Before w.a.n.g Baole left Earth back then, the Federation had carried out a plan named “Dark Swallow” in secret. The plan was considered an absolute secret, so only an extremely small number of people knew about it. And with w.a.n.g Baole’s status in the Federation, he naturally had the right to know about the plan.
He clearly remembered that the secret doc.u.ment pointed out that mysterious disappearances had appeared time and again throughout the years at many places on Earth.
For example, Lin Tianhao’s father, the Ethereal City Lord, mysteriously disappeared before Earth’s Beast War back then. After he returned, his cultivation was much stronger than before, and he was judged to have huge potential.
There were many groups of people like this. Zhuo Yixian, who w.a.n.g Baole had met previously, was one of them too. In fact, Xie Haiyang’s name was misunderstood by the Federation as well, as they thought he was one of the people who mysteriously went missing. But no matter what, such a phenomenon made the Federation pay close attention. It was also because the few Nascent Souls from the Divine Eye civilization not only plundered Mercury’s Stellar Source after infiltrating the Federation, they also used an unknown virus to engulf it.
All this made the Federation care a lot about their own safety. And after integrating with the Vast Expanse Dao Palace, they became much stronger. They also became highly alert of civilizations in surrounding star systems. Combining all this, the so-called “Dark Swallow” plan was created with the cooperation of the Vast Expanse Dao Palace.
They sent a portion of a large number of absolutely trustworthy Federation disciples into the places which could make people disappear. Another portion was teleported out of the Federation. While allowing them to obtain opportunities outside, they also scouted other civilizations surrounding the Federation. Then, they hid within those civilizations and became spies.
Originally, with the Federation’s strength, that was very difficult to achieve. But with the Vast Expanse Dao Palace’s help, everything went quite successfully.
And because w.a.n.g Baole was worried that accidents might happen, as the strongest person in the Federation back then, he created some avatars and gave them to his good friends.
But never did he expect to actually sense the Divine Will he previously gave out on the battlefield of the Heavenly Spirit Sect and Violet Gold New Dao Sect. This made him extremely anxious and worried. That was because w.a.n.g Baole knew very clearly that only two types of people could have his Divine Will!
One type would be the good friends he gave his Divine Will to previously!
Another type would be those whose hands were stained with his friends’ blood. Those who had stolen his Divine Will!
So, as w.a.n.g Baole’s expression changed, he flicked his body and exploded forth like a thunderbolt into the cosmos, heading directly for the location of the Divine Will that his Divine Sense had detected.
He wasn’t very far away from where his Divine Will was, and with w.a.n.g Baole’s current cultivation, everything happened in the blink of an eye as his silhouette appeared ahead of the Heavenly Spirit Sect cultivators who were retreating continuously.
His appearance there instantly made the souls of the cultivators from both sides tremble. It was normal for the Heavenly Spirit Sect disciples to have this reaction. As for Violet Gold New Dao Sect disciples… it was obvious that his act of taking out thousands of Dharmic Battles.h.i.+ps made everyone feel that he had an extraordinary ident.i.ty and status. To a certain extent, it didn’t seem inappropriate to see him as a Planet realm individual. So when they saw him arrive, their souls naturally trembled.
“Senior Long Nanzi!”
“Greetings, Senior!”
All the Violet Gold New Dao Sect disciples rushed to greet him, but w.a.n.g Baole ignored them. He swept his gaze, and it landed on the ten or so Heavenly Spirit Sect disciples who were obviously extremely nervous.
They obviously already knew that they were going to die. If w.a.n.g Baole hadn’t arrived, they felt that they had a chance to escape more or less. But now, the bitterness and desperation in their forced laughs were extremely obvious. At the same time, they were very puzzled. They wanted to know why the extremely strong Long Nanzi chose them when the battlefield was so big and still had Spirit Immortals around.
After all… among the more than ten cultivators there, the one with the highest cultivation level was only a Nascent Soul.
As the Violet Gold New Dao Sect disciples greeted w.a.n.g Baole and the Heavenly Spirit Sect disciples all felt desperate, w.a.n.g Baole’s gaze was like lightning as it swept through the crowd. In the end, it landed on a lady among the Heavenly Spirit Sect cultivators!
The lady… had a decent appearance, and her figure wasn’t bad. Although she wasn’t extremely gorgeous, she was still somewhat attractive. On the lady, w.a.n.g Baole clearly felt disturbances of his own Divine Will. The disturbances were very faint, and it was very hard for outsiders to detect. In fact, if Planet realm cultivators didn’t look closely, they wouldn’t be able to find it.
After all, the connection between the Divine Will and w.a.n.g Baole had already been cut. To an extent, one could even say that it was a Dharmic treasure. If not for him sensing it unexpectedly, even w.a.n.g Baole might not have been able to notice it. So he sensed it repeatedly before confirming it. But the lady looked very foreign to him, so he could only know exactly what happened after thoroughly identifying her. But this wasn’t the place to do so.
w.a.n.g Baole couldn’t help but narrow his eyes. Meanwhile, the Heavenly Spirit Sect female cultivator he was staring at had a pale expression, with sorrow and desperation appearing in her eyes. She felt w.a.n.g Baole’s gaze, and it gave a feeling that she couldn’t hide any secret.
So… as the cultivators on both sides were extremely nervous, w.a.n.g Baole suddenly laughed. He raised his right hand and grabbed violently. Instantly, a huge wave of power was unleashed and engulfed the lady, not giving her any time to struggle as she was grabbed by w.a.n.g Baole. He didn’t put her directly into his storage bag. Instead, he trapped her within the Dharmic Battles.h.i.+p in his storage bag. That way, he could ensure that the lady wouldn’t encounter any danger while in his storage bag.
After doing that, w.a.n.g Baole turned around and was about to leave. He saw the confusion in the eyes of cultivators on both sides. Obviously, they were very puzzled over w.a.n.g Baole’s sudden appearance and his action of capturing a female cultivator from the Heavenly Spirit Sect.
w.a.n.g Baole coughed. Although there wasn’t much point in explaining his actions to them, considering that the lady was highly likely to be one of his good friends, w.a.n.g Baole spoke calmly.
“The la.s.s isn’t bad. I’m preparing to bring her back to become a vessel. As for the rest… kill them all!” After speaking, w.a.n.g Baole turned around and left. After he left, the Violet Gold New Dao Sect disciples attacked again while wearing weird expressions. A violent clash happened in an instant, and not long after… the Heavenly Spirit Sect disciples could no longer resist the attacks and died.
At this point, the battle could be considered over. The Heavenly Spirit Sect disciples tried to escape at all costs, and although there were many casualties, half of the cultivators managed to escape from the battlefield successfully. And the huge defeat of the Heavenly Spirit Sect at the Violet Gold New Dao Sect put a temporary pause on the invasion between civilizations.
But it was obvious that all this was just the beginning of the battle. Very quickly, the Violet Gold New Dao Sect’s patriarch returned. He couldn’t do anything about the right-hand elder. After chasing him for a while, he chose to give up. And after returning, although he intended to avoid w.a.n.g Baole, as someone who provided aid and the benefactor who saved the Violet Gold New Dao Sect, w.a.n.g Baole’s status was special.
That was especially so considering the likes of the top-ranked army and the butler obviously saw w.a.n.g Baole as their leader. What was most important was that as he returned, due to the removal of the seal, he contacted the Sovereign Patriarch at the earliest possible time and learned of w.a.n.g Baole’s strength from him. This shook his soul immensely. So, although he felt frustrated in his heart, he had no choice but to force a smile and give thanks.
“Fellow Daoist Long Nanzi, many thanks!” The Violet Gold New Dao Sect’s patriarch forced a smile and spoke courteously, and w.a.n.g Baole was also all smiles.
“Haha, we’re all allies! You’re too kind, Patriarch. However… could you reimburse me for my losses? My more than two hundred Dharmic Battles.h.i.+ps…. I scrimped and saved to get every single one of them…”
Instantly, the Violet Gold New Dao Sect’s patriarch grew even more frustrated. As he flared up, his face twitched a little as well. In his heart, he growled and cursed the b*stard w.a.n.g Baole for profiteering off the situation…
