Even though Wang Baole's acting skills were decent, he was still too inexperienced. Therefore, even though Annihilator's heart was shaken, he still managed to find some clues when he looked at Wang Baole.
In fact, he didn't need any clues. This was just a daily arm-wrestling match between him and Feng Qiuran. Otherwise, even though the Vast Expanse Dao Palace was huge, Annihilator's cultivation level would allow him to easily find a Core Formation realm cultivator unless the other party was dead. At most, he would have to pay a price.
Therefore, after hearing Wang Baole's words, Annihilator chose to ignore them and spoke calmly.
"Lead the way!"
This matter involved Annihilator's disciple. After pondering for a while, Feng Qiuran looked at Wang Baole. Even though she was skeptical of Wang Baole's words, she knew that the Federation's Hundred Seedlings weren't in a good situation after their arrival. This was related to the doubts within the Moderate Faction. Therefore, Feng Qiuran sighed inwardly and spoke slowly to Wang Baole.
"Wang Baole, bring us to the place where you and Liang Long argued. If you were really framed by Liang Long, I'll give you an explanation!"
Wang Baole hurriedly acknowledged the order. He shook his head inwardly. He could tell that the reason the moderate faction of the Vast Expanse Dao Palace was so passive was directly related to Feng Qiuran's personality.
More accurately speaking, based on Wang Baole's senses and judgment during this period of time in the Vast Expanse Dao Palace, Feng Qiuran's cultivation level was high, but her personality was too soft. She didn't seem to have many ways to control her subordinates. Furthermore, Annihilator was domineering. Therefore, as time passed, she gradually lost control over the cultivators in her faction.
"If Little Duanmu were here … there would be no need for Little Duanmu. Any Rank Two Noble in the Federation, as long as they have the cultivation base of a Soul Conduit realm cultivator, would be able to manipulate everyone here with their series of tricks." Wang Baole sighed inwardly, but on the surface, he put on an aggrieved expression. After bowing to Feng Qiuran, he walked out of the great hall and flew towards the island where he had fought with Liang Long.
Wang Baole wasn't slow, but compared to a Soul Conduit realm cultivator, the difference was like heaven and earth. Therefore, as soon as he flew out, Feng Qiuran waved her right hand, and a gentle light enveloped Wang Baole. Feng Qiuran's calm voice sounded in his ears.
"You will lead the way. Just tell me the general direction!"
Wang Baole blinked and put on a thoughtful expression. He quickly pointed out the direction. Almost as soon as he opened his mouth, Annihilator took a step forward and disappeared. Feng Qiuran also waved her sleeves and led Wang Baole forward.
Wang Baole felt an earth-shattering roar explode in his ears. His vision blurred, and it was as if he was passing through water. When the world in front of him became clear, Wang Baole was shocked to find that he was already far away from the main island of the Vast Expanse Dao Palace. He had appeared … in the direction he had pointed out earlier.
Although this place was still some distance away from the island where Liang Long was, he believed that with such speed, he would be able to reach it in an instant as soon as he spoke.
"So this is the Soul Conduit realm …" As Wang Baole's breathing quickened, Annihilator snorted impatiently.
"Hurry up!"
Wang Baole took a deep breath. His face was pale, and he put on a look of searching and reminiscing. He even released his cultivation ripples to determine the direction.
However, he secretly tried to call out to the rope in his mind. Fortunately, he could vaguely connect with his rope here. After quickly giving the order, Wang Baole wanted to delay, but he knew that he couldn't do so for long. Hence, he quickly pointed out a location.
In the next instant, Feng Qiuran waved her hand, and the three of them disappeared. When they reappeared, they were already at the place Wang Baole had pointed out. Before Annihilator could speak, Wang Baole hurriedly spoke.
"Senior, don't be anxious. This happened a long time ago. Can you give me some time?"
"There's no need!" Annihilator looked at Wang Baole for a moment. His expression flickered, and he took a step forward, vanishing. At the same time, Feng Qiuran sensed that something had happened. She turned to look at Wang Baole.
"Liang Long's aura has been found," she said. Without waiting for Wang Baole to respond, she grabbed Wang Baole and shot forward. When they reappeared, shockingly, they were on a deserted island.
This was the place where Wang Baole and Liang Long had fought. Annihilator, who had arrived a bit earlier, hovered there in mid-air, an unsightly expression on his face. He looked down at the deserted island, and at the figure lying there on the ground.
The figure was emaciated to the point of being nothing more than skin and bones. It was none other than Liang Long, whose aura was weak and unconscious!
Wang Baole heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Liang Long and noticed that there was no rope tied to his body. He was glad that the rope was smart enough to escape in advance. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for him to explain himself. He also realized that it was because of the rope's departure that Liang Long's aura had leaked out and been detected by Mie Liezi.
"How could the rope's aura and Cultivation base be so powerful?" Having reached this point in his train of thought, Wang Baole's heart began to pound. Perhaps it had something to do with the fact that Annihilator hadn't gone all-out in his search?
As for the specifics, Wang Baole wasn't sure. However, he now had a much deeper understanding of the bizarre nature of his rope. Even as Wang Baole was lost in thought, Annihilator grimly lifted his right hand and pointed at the unconscious Liang Long.
Liang Long's body trembled, and he slowly opened his eyes. At first, they were filled with confusion, which lasted for the space of seven or eight breaths. Then, Annihilator let out a cold snort. Liang Long's body trembled, and he regained consciousness. When he saw Annihilator up in mid-air, he began to tremble. Then he crawled to his feet and kowtowed, unable to control his tears and sobbing.
"Master, you've finally come to save me!!" Liang Long cried. His cries were extremely loud, and he sounded as though he had just been given a new lease on life. Even Wang Baole sympathized with him when he heard his cries.
Feng Qiuran frowned slightly when she saw Liang Long bawling. Annihilator didn't seem happy either, and he spoke plainly.
"Tell me what happened."
"Master, it's that damned Wang Baole! It's him!! I was out on a mission and was severely injured by him when I passed by this place. He humiliated me in every possible way, and then trapped me here to fend for myself. He even used a damned rope to isolate my aura and Cultivation base, making me wish I was dead!! Master, please take responsibility for me and clean up the mess for the Vast Expanse Dao Palace! " Liang Long gritted his teeth, and his eyes were bloodshot. He naturally saw Wang Baole, who was beside Feng Qiuran. Although his thoughts weren't as clear as before, he knew his master well enough to know that he only needed a reason.
Therefore, he didn't have time to think too much, and he didn't hesitate to distort the truth.
Originally, Wang Baole was still thinking about how to prove the hints he had given in the great hall. However, this wasn't going to be easy. Although he had thought of a few plans, none of them were the best. Now that Liang Long had turned the tables on him, Wang Baole was elated. He felt that his chance had come. With a bitter expression, he cupped his fists and bowed to Feng Qiuran.
"Elder Feng, I've already said that I borrowed a precious treasure to escape from this place. As for what Senior Brother Liang Long said, it's a lie. If I really had the upper hand and still had the strength to humiliate him, and at the same time, had a way to isolate his aura, then why didn't I just kill him and end it all? Why didn't I take his storage bag? I believe that with Senior Brother Liang Long's status, the items in his storage bag must be very valuable! " When Wang Baole said that, Liang Long's expression changed. His mind cleared a little, and he recalled that Wang Baole hadn't touched his storage bag at all.
He had just woken up and was a little dizzy, so he had overlooked this point. Therefore, his breathing quickened, and he was anxious as he spoke again.
"Wang Baole, you're the one who's distorting the truth. The reason you didn't kill me, and didn't touch my storage bag, was because you didn't dare. If I shouted, Master would be able to turn back time and see who killed me directly or indirectly!"
When Wang Baole heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't help but praise Liang Long. Thanks to Liang Long's cooperation, he had been able to simplify a complicated problem. He had put all the blame on one problem.
That was, who was the one who ambushed who?!
As long as he could solve this problem, he would be in the right!
Having reached this point in his train of thought, Wang Baole gritted his teeth. Filled with grief and indignation, he loudly called out to Annihilator.
"Since that's the case, Senior Annihilator, please use your time reversal magic to see … who ambushed who!!"
