”Poof, poof, poof—!”

In an instant, the huge black hand had torn through numerous layers of space blockades. Along the route where its opponent had come from, the hand broke through the hollow and hovered over its opponent's head.

”How audacious!”

Seeing the huge black hand bearing down upon him from the hollow, the man's face was livid, and a jet of white light shot out from behind his head. In the midst of the while light, a glazed bead about the size of a pigeon egg sent forth an abundance of scattered light. In the light, white lotuses could be seen, which rapidly held the huge black hand up.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!

Although the white lotuses were able to hold the huge black hand up, that did not mean they had succeeded in blocking the hand. On the contrary, strips of black Qi dropped from the huge hand and mingled with the light, producing sizzling sounds. Then, the white lights gradually dimmed and the lotuses started fading away.

”Elixir of Nine-headed Fierce Beast?”

The man sensed the waves of spirit wafting from the huge black hand, and his face changed immediately. He stuck out a finger and abruptly pointed to the place between his eyebrows. All at once, the fading white light re-ignited; jets of scattered light wrapped around the black spirit and digested all of it. Meanwhile, Zhou Bao had detected an immense power fermenting in that glazed bead. Hastily, Zhou Bao took back the huge black hand.

”Haha, enough playing around for today! Bye-bye!” After withdrawing the huge black hand, Zhou Bao gave a cackle and suddenly accelerated his moving speed. The hollow around Zhou Bao broke into pieces. In an instant, Zhou Bao had time-traveled through countless spaces and arrived at another world.

”Kid, I've caught your trail, yet you still want to escape?” When he saw Zhou Bao retrieving the hand, the man grew more enraged. ”Chi Yang, you stay put here, I'll fetch that kid back!” After saying this, without even bothering to wait for the Chi Yang's reply, he turned into a jet of light and disappeared.

”Sage Taiyuan, you...” Not far beside him stood a man who was covered in a flaming robe, even his face was coated with a film of red light. This man was just about to talk some sense into him, but he took off in a flash without giving Chi Yang any chance to speak, which made Chi Yang seem a bit helpless.

”Humph, this idiot, following me on his own? Seems that this Alliance of 13 Realms is just like Divine Wind Palace, both so arrogant! Do they really think they're invincible in the world?” As he was traveling through spaces, Zhou Bao felt the distorted spatial state behind him. An odd smile flitted across his face.

Sage Taiyuan, the vice president of the Alliance of 13 Realms, a Lord of Heaven who had undergone Seven Tribulations, had inherited the Uniform Dao of White Lotus Sect. And the Taihao Fairy Weapon White Lotus Glaze Bead he owned was a halidom of the White Lotus Sect made in olden times, whose power was beyond imagination. Apart from the White Lotus Glaze Bead, he also carried several Pure Yang Celestial Devices with him. His strength was enormous, his character was also very haughty and greedy. He was known for his bossy manner in the Alliance of 13 Realms, and he was bad-tempered as well, even a little dispute would set him off.

The above was the information about Sage Taiyuan that Venerable Black Turtle had given Zhou Bao. Based on those files, Zhou Bao was able to prepare his plans.

A tight dragnet had already been set up in the Pond of Illusive Ripples by influences in the Infinite Star Sea. Even though he had the ability, it would cost him an arm or a leg to force his way through. Undoubtedly, that would be very unwise. Therefore, in order to settle the matter of the Pond of Illusive Ripples, Zhou Bao should rely only on his intellectual skills instead of his combating skills.

Accordingly, Zhou Bao had decided to use the trick of luring the enemy away from his base to disrupt the defense in the Pond of Illusive Ripples. However, how could it be so easy to mess with the defense in the Pond of Illusive Ripples?

Fortunately, he still had Qi Miaoyi and Ye Qingtian.

These two were not important people. They were just two small fries, but the fairy weapons and valuable Pure Yang Celestial Devices they carried were sufficient to attract the attention of any Lord of Heaven. That was why Zhou Bao asked Venerable Black Turtle to try all means to spread the news about the treasures the two had with them. By doing so, he could mess up the present situation on one hand; on the other hand, he would arouse the greed of Sage Taiyuan, who was guarding the Pond of Illusive Ripples. The voracity of this Lord of Heaven was well-known, even in the two Star Areas. Even if it was merely an ordinary Pure Yang Celestial Device, he would do anything he could to get it, what more for two fairy weapons and a pile of Pure Yang Celestial Devices. Plus, Ye Qingtian still had the Uniform Dao with him.

That was the Uniform Dao of Big Dipper Emperor, one of the 99 Emperors in the olden times. Who would not want it?

The reason that nobody dared take action was just that these two had themselves hidden too well and no one could verify this news brought by the Secret Store. But after Zhou Bao made such a scene on Heavenly Falling Star, even if this news was false, people started to believe that it was true because only a collision between fairy weapons could destroy a planet like Heavenly Falling Star. Furthermore, the whole process had also been witnessed by a bunch of Venerables. Hence, after this event, this news could be said to be true. And the only problem left was to figure out when this Sage Taiyuan would strike.

In this regard, Zhou Bao had miscalculated.
