791 A Challenge From a Lesser Sect! (1/2)
Hearing Wang Baole's response, Yi Nianzi furrowed his eyebrows slightly. He circulated his cultivation and dispersed his Spirit Immortal aura, combining it with his giant fish Dharmic Battleship. It became a suppressive force that engulfed the Soul Rift Planet.
”I didn't hear that clearly, consider whether you want to repeat yourself!”
The suppressive force coming from Yi Nianzi's body made Wang Baole feel a true sense of danger. At the same time, he was very clear about the status of the Green Kraken Legion within the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect. So, after being silent for a few breaths' time, Wang Baole spoke in a deep voice.
”Swear what kind of allegiance?”
”From now on, you will only accept orders from the Green Kraken Legion and will voluntarily give up your control of the Soul Rift Legion.” After Yi Nianzi spoke this sentence slowly, he ignored Wang Baole. Instead, he stood atop his bronze giant fish as he continued.
”After becoming the Green Kraken Legion's subordinate, all the needs of the Soul Rift Legion will be taken care of by the Green Kraken Legion. We will arrange for a large number of people to base themselves here. But you will have to give up your control of the Soul Rift Legion. From then on, you will no longer be the commander of the Soul Rift Legion. Instead, you will be the branch team leader of the Green Kraken Legion's Soul Rift branch team. The main role of you and the Soul Rift branch team will be to refine Dharmic Artifacts!”
”Now, tell me your choice!”
”I refuse!” Listening to this point, even though Wang Baole didn't want to offend the Green Kraken Legion, their high and mighty demeanor and what they said next made him understand that he had no other choice. So, he said that once again.
But this time, as Wang Baole's words spread towards Yi Nianzi's ears, he no longer spoke. Instead, he lowered his head to stare at Wang Baole. Wang Baole also raised his head to stare at him, and their gazes seemed to collide in mid-air.
Although the Green Kraken Legion was extremely strong and stressed Wang Baole out, he was no longer the same person he was when he first came to the Divine Eye civilization. It would be fine when he hadn't formed an army previously. But now that he had the right to have his own army, and now that he already had his base, even the Green Kraken Legion couldn't attack him by force under the rules of the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect. After all… the Long Nanzi of today wasn't only extremely famous, he was also recognized by the patriarch as an artifact refinement master.
Moreover, Wang Baole's Divine Justice Shield made it so that he was able to defend against Spirit Immortal mighty figures. Especially for early-stage Spirits Immortals… Wang Baole felt that he could now take them on!
Of course, it would be best if he didn't need to attack. Wang Baole was also worried that his new version of the Divine Justice Shield would continue catching the attention of the patriarch. However, Wang Baole thought that it was unnecessary to tolerate Yi Nianzi just because he didn't want to expose his new version of the Divine Justice Shield!
So when he looked towards Yi Nianzi, he narrowed his eyes and braced himself in case Yi Nianzi decided to attack. This was because he understood that although tolerating him could prevent conflict, if he still didn't dare to retaliate when his bottom line was tread on, then… that wouldn't be considered tolerating. Instead, it would be seen as cowardice!
The necessary retaliation was also another method for him to prove his worth, and it fit perfectly with his plans of making himself known in the Divine Eye civilization. At the same time, this would be acknowledged and praised by people, as it fit the mainstream values of the Divine Eye civilization.
However, as time slowly passed, even though a tense atmosphere continued to engulf the Soul Rift Planet and lingered in the surroundings of Yi Nianzi and Wang Baole, Yi Nianzi didn't choose to attack directly in the end.
He was clear that although Long Nanzi's cultivation wasn't at the Spirit Immortal realm, his value wasn't too far off that of a Spirit Immortal. Furthermore, he had the backing of the Ice Phoenix Legion, who had become very strong recently. There were even rumors that Chief Minister Xu seemed to think highly of Long Nanzi.
All these were factors that made him have some reservations in his heart. As for Wang Baole's combat strength, he wasn't worried. To him, Wang Baole was merely a Soul Conduit.
So… although Yi Nianzi had reservations in his heart because of Wang Baole's connections, he didn't feel that Wang Baole had the right to reject the Green Kraken Legion, and he felt that Wang Baole didn't have the ability to bear the consequences of rejecting them.
Yi Nianzi thought that he needed to teach Wang Baole a lesson and show him what the right choice was, but he had the patriarch protecting him.
So, after staring for a moment, Yi Nianzi spoke coldly.
”You better watch out.” After he said that, he turned around and left the Soul Rift Planet after creating waves of fog with a flick of his sleeve.
