585 The Wind Dissipates Past Hatred (1/2)

However, having not met for many years, it seemed like many changes had occurred. When they met, the suppressive force from Wang Baole surprised Xu Yunkun, who had perfected Core Formation realm cultivation himself. That was especially so when he thought about Duan Muque notifying him that he was released and showed him the information that Feng Qiuran had sent the Federation regarding the trial. All that forced Xu Yunkun to admit that a new generation elite had emerged.

Therefore, he took a deep breath and smiled at Wang Baole.

”City Lord Wang, can we talk in your cave abode?”

Wang Baole narrowed his eyes and sized up Sect Lord Xu. What happened those years ago surfaced in his mind as well. That was the closest Wang Baole had ever been to the brink of death. The digging out of his Foundation Establishment and his survival from the ordeal were the catalysts for the massacre he carried out on the moon.

Memories flooded his mind. As he thought about the person who was standing in front of him, who back then seemed to be like a formidable god but had now turned into someone he could easily suppress even without using Thearch Armor, Wang Baole chuckled in his heart. Wang Baole, someone who had a high status within the Federation and understood the high officials' autobiographies deeply, wouldn't reveal his arrogance easily. Despite being displeased with Sect Lord Xu, he smiled and nodded his head.

The duo flew into the air and left the main island of the Dao Palace. They were silent all the way and didn't head towards Green Fire Island. Instead, they landed on a secluded, deserted island. It was then that a look of admiration was seen in Xu Yunkun's eyes as he thought about how cautious Wang Baole was in handling matters. It was clear that Wang Baole was worried that there were some hidden mechanisms on his island that would allow others to eavesdrop on their conversation, and that was why Wang Baole brought him to that secluded area.

When he landed, Xu Yunkun immediately sealed his hands and pointed to his surroundings. At the same time, he took out a compass from his storage bracelet and put it under his feet. The compass glowed and formed a protective covering that enveloped the duo. Wang Baole also sealed his hands, taking out numerous items and even scattered his second level.

It was only after both of them put in place measures to ensure that the area they were in was secure that Xu Yunkun took a deep breath.

”We should be fine. This compass was made in secret by the Federation. According to analysis, it can dodge the detection of someone at the Soul Conduit realm for five minutes!”

Wang Baole nodded his head and sat at a corner, looking at Xu Yunkun while waiting for him to speak.

”City Lord Wang, in the incident back then… The elder who attacked is still being suppressed on Venus, and I have also been punished. Please don't hold it against us. This time, I have come here after doing a good deed and don't have the power to boss you around. Instead, I would need your help in many different scenarios.” As Xu Yunkun spoke, he bowed deeply towards Wang Baole.

He knew very well that right now, in the Vast Expanse Dao Palace, Wang Baole was leading the Federation's faction. That was especially so after the trial, which made Wang Baole's status surpass many others from the Federation.

He was worried that his arrival would cause Wang Baole to misunderstand. Therefore, that was the first thing he addressed.

”I have two tasks to fulfill here. The first task is to build a secret mini teleportation array formation, and that is because we need to play safe. If there is ever a day where we need to break out, it would be the escape route for everyone!”

Listening to those words, Wang Baole felt calmer and nodded his head after thinking about it.

”I would definitely help you with this matter. However, you must work cautiously and be especially vigilant of… Daoist You Ran!” Wang Baole thought about it before speaking softly.

”Daoist You Ran?” A flash appeared across Xu Yunkun's eyes.

”I don't have evidence, but I have a hunch that this person has a threat level that surpasses that of Mie Liezi.” Wang Baole spoke with a deep voice.

Xu Yunkun seemed to be deep in thought. If someone else had said the same thing, he would have taken it with a pinch of salt. However, since it was Wang Baole who said it, he took it extremely seriously. After setting the matter aside, Xu Yunkun and Wang Baole began to converse on a deeper level.

They mainly talked about what had happened to the Federation Seedlings in the past year. Xu Yunkun needed to have a full understanding of the situation in order to carry out his second task.

When he heard about the deaths that had occurred, the ordeals that the Federation Seedlings had faced, as well as Feng Qiuran's soft personality, Xu Yunkun hesitated. He then laughed bitterly while looking at Wang Baole.

”City Lord Wang, there are some things that I don't know whether it's appropriate to say. However, if I say it, I hope that you don't misunderstand.”

Listening to those words, Wang Baole looked at Xu Yunkun seriously before nodding and speaking.
