840 Warnings and Threats! (2/2)

Just like Fairy Ling You and the fourth army's commander, they chose to help him to a certain degree. Their aim was to wear the other armies out. Although their aim was the top-ranked army, it was naturally good if they could wear the second-ranked army out as well.

As for Daoist Ku Ling, the fact that he could become an army commander and reach the mid-stage Spirit Immortal realm showed that he wasn't a foolish man. Obviously, he had lofty ambitions too. So, after he noticed Wang Baole's cultivation and combat strength and combined it with some information he already knew, he decided to admit defeat after finally confirming that Wang Baole did indeed have the capability to threaten the second-ranked army.

To him, admitting defeat wasn't embarrassing. His goal was very simple and couldn't even be considered a sinister plot. Instead, it was a legitimate strategy. He wanted to see Wang Baole fight to the death with the top-ranked army!

That way, he would have a once in a lifetime opportunity!

Compared to obtaining that opportunity, Daoist Ku Ling didn't care about whether he won or lost now.

They're all sly old foxes. After finishing the wine in the wine gourd, Wang Baole stood up, flicked his body, and left the meteorite layer. Just as he was about to return to his Soul Rift Legion, right as he was about to step into the teleportation vortex, Wang Baole stopped in his tracks. He then tilted his head and looked towards the cosmos in the distance.

The moment he looked, a loud rumble sounded in the cosmos, and one could see two palms that seemed to stretch from another dimension in the void. They grabbed the surrounding void and pulled outwards. As the sound shook the heavens, a giant rift was ripped open.

Within the rift existed an extremely large silhouette covered in black. The silhouette had sharp spikes all over its body and seemed to have an extraordinary aura. The cultivation disturbances almost reached the mid-stage Spirit Immortal realm. The silhouette was… Yi Nianzi from the top-ranked army!

Behind him were nine waves of disturbances. There were both males and females, and all of them wore extraordinary armor. Although they were not Dharmic Battleships, they could still boost their combat strength. The nine disturbances were all False Immortals. Naturally, the nine of them were the nine combat immortals of the top-ranked army!

Behind them, an uncountable number of battleships spread across the horizon. The scene was enough to shake the souls of whoever saw it. Moreover, within the numerous battleships, there were five… Dharmic Battleship, which were dispersing Spirit Immortal disturbances!

The five Dharmic Battleships made Wang Baole's pupils shrink.

Also… at the very back of all of that, a palace floated. One couldn't see the people in the palace. However, from the heaven-shaking aura that could suppress the cosmos and sweep past all Spirit Immortals coming from within the palace, one could already tell the identity of the person within.

It was… the top-ranked army's commander, Gu Mo! He was second only to the Sovereign Patriarch within the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect and was at the perfected stage Spirit Immortal realm!

”Long Nanzi, I'll give you another chance to join the top-ranked army.” While Wang Baole's soul shook, Yi Nianzi spoke calmly. His voice spread towards the surrounding cosmos through the space rift.

It wasn't an invitation, but a threat. It also wasn't a question, but a warning!

Wang Baole went silent. He didn't care about Yi Nianzi and the nine False Immortals, but the five Dharmic Battleships gave him a lot of stress. Also, there was the issue of Gu Mo…

”Not speaking? So be it. Then I'll give you another chance. Don't you dislike me? I'm waiting for your challenge!” Yi Nianzi narrowed his eyes and spoke again.

Wang Baole raised his head and gazed at Yi Nianzi calmly. He also saw the army at the ready within the rift. He didn't speak a word as he turned around, stepped directly into the teleportation vortex, and disappeared instantly.

When he disappeared, a tinge of regret appeared in Yi Nianzi's eyes. If Wang Baole really challenged them just then, everything would have fallen into place. To a certain degree, it would be considered challenging the top-ranked army.

”So be it. He's not a fool, after all. He definitely saw a problem with that,” Yi Nianzi muttered, then turned around and bowed respectfully towards the palace in the distance. Afterwards, he raised his right hand and waved it. The void rift that was ripped open instantly closed, and the cosmos went back to normal.

At the same time, Wang Baole, who teleported back to the Soul Rift Legion, had his expression turn extremely gloomy the moment he walked out. He stood there and remained silent for a long while. Then, decisiveness suddenly appeared in his eyes. With his right hand, he took out the communication jade slip that Xie Haiyang had given him and sent him a voice transmission.

”Fellow Daoist Haiyang, the news you spoke about previously. If it really contains a chance for me to become a Spirit Immortal, then… I want it!”
