829 In-Name Disciple? (2/2)
As the crowd was teleported back while having a conversation with Wang Baole while sucking up to him, the planet which they previously descended upon continued collapsing. Half of that planet had already turned into numerous dust particles that spread into the cosmos. Looking from a distance, the remaining half of the planet seemed like a crescent moon. It exuded a sense of incompleteness and was still slowly disintegrating.
Maybe, the planet's collapse would only completely end after a long period of time. At that point, the planet would no longer exist in the cosmos.
Even to the giant Never-Ending Clan, such a thing was no longer a minor issue. Although it couldn't be considered a major issue, it was enough to attract the attention of some higher-ups. After all, they had lost an army, and their Planet realm army commander was so heavily injured that he only had half a head left. At the same time, the planet that they occupied was shattered.
So, a series of investigations and speculation were started immediately and caused quite a stir. At the same time, after watching the whole process, the Flame Patriarch couldn't help but admit that even all of the previous missions he gave out combined couldn't match the flashiness of Wang Baole's performance.
He's a talent! The Flame Patriarch spat out the fruit core in his mouth and stared at the screen in front of him while narrowing his eyes slightly. The screen displayed the debris-filled land that Wang Baole and the others were at.
After deliberating for a short while, he raised his right hand, weaved hand seals, and pointed at the screen in front of him. Instantly, waves appeared on the screen. As the waves spread, a wisp of the Flame Patriarch's Divine Sense spread out and fused into the waves.
In the next moment, the crowd of people who were conversing pleasantly with one another in the debris-filled land all felt their souls jolt. Even Wang Baole felt the descent of a wave of immense power.
When everyone, including Wang Baole, looked, they saw a ray of fiery light descend from the sky and stop in mid-air above everyone. It gathered into a flame silhouette. Although one couldn't see the appearance of the silhouette clearly, it contained an immense suppressive force. Anyone who took just one look at it would feel a stinging pain in their eyes and feel their soul rumble.
Wang Baole's breathing quickened. When he quickly lowered his head, he heard the ancient voice coming from the flame silhouette in the sky.
”You're all not bad. I'll now give you Red Crystals based on your performance.”
As the words of the flame silhouette spread, numbers instantly appeared on the masks of the more than forty people present. The observation function in the masks could instantly calculate the rewards they deserved after they returned. So, Wang Baole quickly felt the number on his mask.
Thirteen thousand Red Crystals? Wang Baole blinked and felt that it was a tad too few. Although he only needed 300 Red Crystals to buy all of the materials from Xie Haiyang, he felt that he could be considered to have destroyed an entire army on his own this time. He felt that he had pretty much wiped out the entire army from top to bottom.
But, when Wang Baole saw the others' masks, he suddenly felt better.
On the masks of the other cultivators, the biggest number… was about 200. And that was for the three Spirit Immortals. As for the rest, the biggest number was around 70 or 80, while the smallest numbers were in the single digits.
Added together, they could hardly compare to him…
They're way too pitiful. Wang Baole couldn't help but cough. As for the cultivators that saw how many Red Crystals he got, they wanted to cry but couldn't do so. Some of them had participated in such missions previously and had earned hundreds of Red Crystals. But now, they couldn't even get 10…
”After getting your Red Crystals, you may leave.” As the silhouette in the sky waved its hands, a large number of Red Crystals instantly flew towards everyone. After they were stored by everyone, they all cupped their fists helplessly towards the silhouette in the sky. Afterwards, their bodies became a blur one after another. When they disappeared, they left their masks behind, which flew towards the flame silhouette in the sky and fused into his body.
”Ah?” Wang Baole felt that something was amiss. That was because he noticed that everyone in the surroundings had left, but he… was still there. As he muttered in his heart, the calm voice of the flame silhouette in the sky sounded in his ear.
”Young lad, would you be willing to be my in-name disciple?”
