602 A Stellar Spark! (2/2)

However, besides Wang Baole, there was another Core Formation realm cultivator present. After some thought, the Never-Ending Clan cultivator dashed towards the pavilion. He approached instantly. It was then that another series of energy waves erupted from within the pavilion.

There was a loud explosion, followed by fragments of shattered rock spewing in the air. Someone flew out of the pavilion. This time, the aura was clearly weaker and at the Core Formation realm. The figure charged towards the Never-Ending Clan cultivator!

He looked to be in his twenties. To have achieved a Core Formation realm cultivation at such an age was an exceptional feat. Even though he was also clearly injured, his attacks remained vicious and brutal. However, the Never-Ending Clan cultivator was also equally powerful. It seemed that it would be difficult to identify a clear victor as they continued to battle it out.

The Never-Ending Clan cultivator immediately barked at Wang Baole and summoned the latter to lend a hand. The youth clearly saw that. Despair flashed across his eyes. He seemed like he was about to turn and look at the pavilion behind him but stopped himself at the last moment.

There was no need for him to look. A short distance away, Wang Baole had already seen what he had been looking for. In the pavilion was a girl—squatting under broken stone, hugging her knees, and trembling.

Her clothes were dirty and dusty, like a beggar's. She stared at the youth who was currently engaged in battle with tears streaming down her cheeks. Then, she saw Wang Baole. Her trembling intensified.

Wang Baole observed the sight silently, then stared at the surrounding area. After making sure that there were no other Never-Ending Clan members around, he began to make his way forward with a straight face. His speed picked up. Then, with a sudden burst of speed, he approached the two cultivators engaged in battle.

The Never-Ending Clan cultivator was galvanized by his approach while the youth howled in despair. Just as the latter prepared to blow himself up, Wang Baole sped up again, transforming into an afterimage that swept past the Never-Ending Clan cultivator!

The Never-Ending Clan cultivator didn't even have time to react before his three heads fell off his body. Blood spurted out from the cut as his headless body fell to the ground.

The sight stunned the youth. He retreated hastily, staring at Wang Baole with a bewildered and wary look in his eyes.

Wang Baole didn't look at them. He turned and was about to leave. As he turned, Little Missy, who had been silent since he had spoken in the Never-Ending Clan's language, sighed softly. He had no idea how she managed to do it, but a Stellar Source's light suddenly enveloped the bodies of the confused, wary youth and the young girl. Their bodies transformed instantaneously and right before Wang Baole's eyes into that of Never-Ending Clan members!

”Help me tell them. The illusion will only last for half an hour. They have to… hurry up and escape.”

There was a faint crease in his brow. Little Missy's actions were irrational. In addition, should the two be discovered by the Never-Ending Clan, even he would be implicated and placed in danger.

Little Missy seemed to realize the rashness of her actions. After a moment of silence, she lowered her head and uttered, for the very first time.

”I'm sorry.”

Wang Baole sighed. He turned and looked at the youth, who had recovered swiftly from his shock at witnessing Wang Baole's transformation. Wang Baole was pleased with his speedy recovery. He said, in a low voice and in the language of the Vast Expanse Dao Palace.

”The illusion will disappear after half an hour. Leave quickly!”

The youth trembled when he heard that. He gave Wang Baole an unfathomable look before tugging at the quivering young girl. They were about to leave when the young girl, who now appeared as one of the Never-Ending Clan, turned her head as she was dragged away and looked at Wang Baole. She asked suddenly, ”Senior, what's your name?”

Wang Baole frowned slightly. He stared at the girl whose appearance had transformed into that of an Never-Ending Clan member and whose eyes remained clear and bright. He thought of the Federation's future and said in a low voice.

”Baole!”

Having said that, Wang Baole turned and sped into the distance without looking back.
