Chapter 869 - I Can’t Afford to Use You! (1/2)

He even wanted to slap Wang Baole to death. But obviously, he couldn’t. And he felt that… he might not be able to do so anyway.

He felt extremely depressed, and he was too lazy to fake a smile. He had his back turned towards his disciples as he gazed at Wang Baole while gritting his teeth.

“Even if I sell my sect, I won’t have more than 200 Dharmic Battleships. Don’t go overboard Long Nanzi!”

“I bled for your Violet Gold New Dao Sect and came here fearlessly. I came here to provide aid without caring about the potential consequences, and you say I’m going overboard? You want to repudiate your debt?” After hearing the patriarch’s words, Wang Baole instantly became unhappy and stared. Wang Baole wasn’t very confident that he would be able to retreat successfully if he fought the Sovereign Patriarch. But for a mere Violet Gold New Dao Sect patriarch, he felt that he could still bully him.

Wang Baole grew even more enraged in his heart as he spoke loudly.

“Is this the Violet Gold New Dao Sect? After learning that the Violet Gold New Dao Sect was in danger, I, Long Nanzi, a mere Spirit Immortal, asked the Sovereign Patriarch to allow me to come here on my own accord. Even though the journey was long and I knew that there would be Planet realm mighty figures here. Even though your Violet Gold New Dao Sect tried to kill me many times in the past and tried to capture me many times. Even though you’ve always looked down on me and humiliated me many times, I still…”

“I still chose to come and provide assistance. I brought my army and my twelve Spirit Immortals here. But what do I get in return? I get told that I’m going overboard!” Wang Baole’s agitated words spread through the surroundings and caused the surrounding Violet Gold New Dao Sect disciples who were cleaning up the battlefield to stop.

And Wang Baole’s words didn’t end there. Even though the Violet Gold New Dao Sect’s patriarch’s expression was already extremely ugly, Wang Baole’s loud voice still spread towards the surroundings.

“After I arrived here, I saved the Black Rift Legion commander at the earliest possible time. He tried to kill me previously, but what did I do? I disregarded our personal disputes and saw the bigger picture! Because I know that we are all people of the Divine Eye civilization. We must stand united. At this time, we must disregard all of our personal disputes, for we have to fight, both for our civilization and for our survival!

“But what do I get in return? It’s you telling me that I’m going overboard!”

After he said that, the surrounding Violet Gold New Dao Sect cultivators all went silent. That was especially so for the Black Rift Legion commander, who lowered his head. And the top-ranked army cultivators beside Wang Baole all naturally sided with him. At that moment, their gazes turned icy as they looked at the Violet Gold New Dao Sect. Spirit Immortals like the butler and Fairy Ling You also moved close to Wang Baole and stood behind him.

The injuries on the bodies of the rescuers and the tiredness in their expressions seemed to be a form of silent resistance as well. Even though he wanted to say something, this caused the Violet Gold New Dao Sect’s patriarch to not know where to begin.

“After I saved the Black Rift Legion commander, I saw that you were in danger, so I charged out with all my might. The Heavenly Spirit Sect’s right-hand elder slapped me until I spit blood. Although a mere Spirit Immortal like me has some skill, did I hide when faced with the palm of a Planet realm? Did I cower in fear? I didn’t. I still persevered. But what I get in return is you telling me that I’m going overboard!

“I risked my life to withstand a slap from a Planet realm. Seeing that he wanted to escape, I took out my Dharmic Battleships, disregarding the consequences. Even though my heart bled at the thought, I made them self-destruct without hesitation just to give you a chance to kill the right-hand elder. I did that to ensure a huge victory for your Violet Gold New Dao Sect! But now, after winning, have I lost my usefulness?”

“Is this the Violet Gold New Dao Sect? Is this the Violet Gold New Dao Sect that my Divine Sovereign Justice Sect came to rescue by dragging our tired bodies here and risking our lives? Violet Gold New Dao Sect Patriarch, no one finds cultivation easy. No one just randomly gets cultivation resources dropped from the sky for them. I, Long Nanzi, risked my life to gather materials to make my Dharmic Battleships. They were destroyed because I was trying to save your Violet Gold New Dao Sect. You personally said that you would make it up to me. I have nothing to say with regard to you going back on your word, but you still dare to say that I’ve gone overboard!” Speaking to this point, Wang Baole was so angry he was trembling. While his agitated voice spread towards the surroundings, it swayed everyone who heard him.

“The one thing I’ve done that’s gone overboard is choosing to come and save you!” That was especially so after Wang Baole spoke that last sentence. The Violet Gold New Dao Sect disciples couldn’t help but feel ashamed. After all… no matter what, this was indeed the case!

If Wang Baole hadn’t appeared, the battle… would definitely not have ended this way. They would probably still be fighting now. And both themselves and their fellow Daoists beside them would probably be corpses by now.

It was just that… while this thought appeared in their minds, another thought appeared in their minds as well. It was that… they couldn’t afford it.
