Xie Haiyang's heart trembled when he saw Wang Baole. The current Wang Baole gave him a different feeling than he remembered. In his memory, Wang Baole had been a ruthless person before he left the Federation. He was ruthless to himself and even more ruthless to his enemies.
But that was it. Even though Xie Haiyang had met Wang Baole again in the Divine Eye civilization, the impression that Wang Baole gave Xie Haiyang was still the same. Wang Baole was intelligent and ruthless, but he still lacked a certain aura. Even though Wang Baole had great investment value, it wasn't impossible to give him up once the benefits were sufficient.
But now … things were different. It wasn't just because of Wang Baole's background and his own needs. More importantly, it was because of the domineering aura that appeared on him. Xie Haiyang had only seen this in a few people, but without exception, those who possessed this aura would have extraordinary achievements if they didn't die prematurely. Every one of them reached such heights that Xie Haiyang could only look up at them.
In reality, Wang Baole had long sensed the changes in his own body. He also felt the change in his mentality. It wasn't because he had a new master, but because he cultivated the Star Sealing Art!
At the same time he formed the Old Ox's Star Atlas, this incantation slowly infected his body, causing his ruthlessness to transform and condense into a domineering will. The manifestation of this will was to press forward with indomitable will. When faced with any difficulty or obstacle, he would go against the current and slaughter his way through!
During his time in the Raging Flames Star System, it was as if he had been accumulating power. Now that he was outside, it wouldn't matter if no one came to provoke him. But if someone did, his aura would explode.
Wang Baole wasn't averse to such subtle changes. Instead, he was filled with anticipation for his journey to the Heavenly Mandate Star. He didn't have to wait for long. Another half a month passed. The Xie family's Interstellar Market appeared in an unfamiliar star system. Large numbers of cultivators arrived at their destination and left. The first cruiser he was on also rumbled as it carried the guests who were on their way to the Xie family's birthday party into the unfamiliar star system called the Heavenly Mandate Star System.
Just as they entered the Heaven's Mandate Star System, the first ship they were on began to tremble. The area behind the first ship began to shine brightly, and a teleportation force spread out across the entire ship.
This was not caused by external factors, nor was it an ambush. Someone had activated the teleportation formation on the Xie family's flying boat, and was teleporting directly from a distant place.
This immediately attracted the attention of all of the Cultivators on the airship. When Wang Baole realized what was happening, he went up to the balcony and looked off into the distance. Simultaneously, he sent his divine sense out to observe the situation. At the same time, he noticed the change in Xie Haiyang's expression.
"Is there a problem?" Wang Baole asked when he saw that Xie Haiyang's expression was getting worse.
"Every airship is equipped with a teleportation formation," Xie Haiyang said. "However, it's not open to outsiders …. Only members of the Xie family are allowed to use it. Furthermore, each use costs a large amount of clan merit points.
"Furthermore … the further the teleportation, the more expensive it is. However, the teleportation fluctuations and light will last longer and brighter. Thirty breaths of time have passed since the teleportation formation was activated, and it still hasn't finished. That means … the person who is coming is extremely far away from here!
Xie Haiyang's face was gloomy, and his eyes were bloodshot as he said in a low voice, "Obviously, he's here to celebrate Heavenly Spell Celestial Being's birthday. I think I already know who he is!"
"It's my clan brother, Xie Yunteng, who ranks fifth in our generation among the direct bloodline members.
"As for me, I rank ninth. There is an irreconcilable enmity between us!!" Even as Xie Haiyang spoke, the ripples of teleportation could be felt off in the distance. Dazzling light covered the entire airship, and a large number of Xie family members flew out toward the teleportation formation. They didn't get close, but instead waited outside, bowing their heads respectfully.
Only Yao Lao and a few other Stellar Realm cultivators could pass through the ripples of teleportation and enter the inner part of the formation to wait.
In the next moment, there was a deafening roar, and nine figures appeared in the light at the core of the teleportation ripples.
One person stood in front, and eight people stood behind him. As their figures rapidly condensed, Yao Lao and the others outside the formation immediately clasped their fists and bowed with solemn expressions.
"Greetings, Fifth Young Master!"
As their voices spread out, all the members of the Xie family in the outer area bowed and bowed. Their voices merged together and spread out mightily.
"Greetings, Fifth Young Master!"
As everyone bowed, the nine figures in the teleportation formation finally condensed and appeared before everyone. The eight people behind them were dressed in long black robes. There were men and women, old and young, and each of them exuded terrifying Stellar Realm fluctuations. Their bodies were filled with killing intent, and it was clear that their cultivation bases weren't bad. They were also bloodthirsty people.
In front of the eight of them stood a young man in a long golden robe. His black hair fluttered in the wind, and his face was extraordinarily handsome. He vaguely resembled Xie Haiyang in some ways, but in fact, if one were to compare them, it would be like comparing heaven and earth. After all, Xie Haiyang's overall appearance was a little too ordinary.
The young man in the golden robe was obviously only a perfected Planet Realm cultivator, but his entire body shone with boundless radiance and gave off an invisible pressure.
At the same time, there was also a hint of an evil presence that seemed to be hidden between his brows. Once it fused with his handsome face, it turned into a tyrannical look. Such a strange change made it so that anyone who saw him would never forget him.
"I almost came too late." The young man pressed his right pinky finger between his eyebrows. His voice was coquettish. Then, he raised his head and narrowed his eyes slowly. His gaze was like lightning, piercing through the sky and crossing the distance. It landed directly on Xie Haiyang, who was standing beside Wang Baole on the balcony of the VIP pavilion in the market.
"Ninth Brother, come and kowtow to me!"
Although he was clearly very far away and only spoke in a voice, the moment he spoke, his voice seemed to contain an astonishing power that directly rumbled on the balcony where Wang Baole and Xie Haiyang were.
This power was extremely evil and seemed to be able to distort everything. It could even affect one's soul. The moment it erupted, it turned into a large amount of golden lightning that directly enveloped Xie Haiyang. It was like a huge hand that wanted to grab Xie Haiyang and pull him over!
Xie Haiyang was about to resist, but as a crimson light appeared on his face, his body trembled, as if he was being suppressed. He couldn't resist at all. The golden-robed young man's voice echoed once again at this moment.
"The clan has already taken back the power of protection from your bloodline. Now, you are facing me, who is qualified to be a law enforcer. Under the suppression of your bloodline, you no longer have the ability to resist. Come over here!" As the voice sounded, the giant hand formed by the golden lightning on Xie Haiyang's body was about to pull Xie Haiyang up. However, at that moment, a cold glint flashed across Wang Baole's eyes. He raised his right foot and stepped forward lightly!
With that step, a wave of ripples suddenly spread out from under his feet. Cracking sounds could be heard, and the huge hand of golden lightning around Xie Haiyang instantly turned into strips of paper. They lost all of their divine abilities and floated down like snowflakes.
Xie Haiyang's body trembled. After he was released from the restraints, he took a few steps back and spoke urgently.
"Baole, I've dragged you into this. It seems that something has happened to the clan. He came prepared and has already taken control of the flying boat. We are at a disadvantage here. We need to leave immediately!"
"You want to leave?" Almost as soon as the words left Xie Haiyang's mouth, the golden-robed young man appeared in the middle of the spell formation. His eyes flickered, and he transformed into a beam of light that shot through the air toward the outpost.
The eight Eternal Stars behind him blurred and followed closely behind. From a distance, everything trembled as the nine of them closed in like nine sharp blades!
As for Xie Yunteng, who was in the lead position, he hovered in midair, reaching out with his right hand toward the balcony. Instantly, countless bolts of golden lightning began to converge. In the blink of an eye, they transformed into an enormous, 3,000-meter-long golden hand that loomed over the entire area!
Wang Baole's eyes narrowed as he looked at the descending hand. "Who said I was leaving?" he said coolly.
