After hearing the Leisurely Taoist's words, everyone nodded and immediately dispersed. Wang Baole, Zhao Yameng, and Kongdao followed Feng Qiuran and rushed towards one of the three disc worlds.
Along the way, Wang Baole slowed down slightly so that Zhao Yameng and Kongdao could follow closely behind him. To him, this mission was just an obligation, not a responsibility. Therefore, he was more concerned about Zhao Yameng and Kongdao.
"Yameng, Kongdao, don't stay too far away from me. If anything goes wrong … we'll leave immediately!" Wang Baole was very clear about the severity of the situation. As he moved forward, he used his voice transmission ring to communicate with the two of them on the Federation's local network. He wasn't worried that others would notice.
Zhao Yameng and Kongdao also made the same decision. The three of them looked at each other and didn't say anything. However, it was clear that they wanted to advance and retreat together.
Just like that, the group slowly approached the target disc amidst their nervousness and apprehension. From afar, the disc was already very vast. Now, as they approached, it was even more boundless. They couldn't see the end of it at all. They could only see a small area in front of them.
At the same time, as they got closer, the appearance of the disc became clearer. However, they couldn't see the topography. They could only see that there were some fluctuations on the surface of the water. Especially when they got closer, it even gave them the feeling that they were approaching the sea.
The pressure also became stronger as the group got closer. In the end, even with the protection of the array formation and even with Feng Qiuran's cultivation enveloping the group, all the Core Formation realm cultivators still felt their minds buzzing. Their minds were a little muddled. Only the Yuanying cultivators were able to maintain their consciousness. Wang Baole's body was extraordinary and his identity was different. Therefore, his mind was still relatively normal. However, his breathing was rapid and his heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably.
Fortunately, the process didn't last long. Under Feng Qiuran's protection, the group moved faster and faster. Finally, when they were less than a thousand feet away from the surface of the disc, Feng Qiuran's eyes shone brightly. The Yuanying cultivators around them unleashed their cultivation and gathered their strength. After gathering their strength, they formed a shooting star that shot towards the surface of the water.
They neared in an instant. The moment they touched the surface of the disc, Feng Qiuran didn't hesitate to take out an ancient talisman. This was the armor-piercing teleportation talisman that the real Vast Expanse Dao Palace had once created. It could break through the surface of a battleship and enter its interior!
Amidst a loud boom, the runes exploded. Ripples appeared on the surface of the battleship's disc. The moment a gap appeared, the group and Feng Qiuran pushed their cultivation to the limit. In an instant, their speed increased explosively as they charged towards the gap!
In the blink of an eye, they entered the gap. However, just as they were about to pass through the gap and enter the world of the disc, all of them suddenly felt as if a teleportation storm had erupted in front of them. As it swept across their surroundings, everyone's minds buzzed.
It was the same for Wang Baole. He felt as if he was just a hair's breadth away from entering the circular world. He could even smell the fragrance of flowers wafting from the world inside the circular world. However, he still failed in the end. In the teleportation tornado, he and the others vanished instantly. When they reappeared … they were already tens of thousands of feet away from the battleship!
"What's going on!?"
"We clearly went in!"
"The battleship definitely has some sort of protective mechanism that teleports all intruders out!"
Zhao Yameng and Kongdao both had very unsightly expressions on their faces. Many people in the area began to discuss the matter in hushed tones. Feng Qiuran's expression was bitter, and she looked at the battleship with a complicated expression. As for Wang Baole, he breathed a sigh of relief.
The truth was that he didn't approve of so many people coming to the battleship. However, Annihilator and Leisurely Taoist had both approved of it, and Feng Qiuran's desire for it made it impossible for Wang Baole to refuse.
"This is good," he thought. "Elder Feng Qiuran knows that her father is most likely dead. She just has a bit of hope in her heart." As Wang Baole sighed, he looked up at the battleship. At the same time, the light of teleportation appeared not too far away. Annihilator and Leisurely Taoist were also teleported out.
Everyone's expressions were grim. With Wang Baole's participation, the four of them discussed and tried again. However, they were still teleported out. When they couldn't enter, Annihilator made a suggestion.
"If we want to successfully resist the teleportation and force our way in, we need to use the power of the ancient bronze sword's array formation to interfere. I suggest that we go back first, gather the strength of the three of us, and make preparations to ensure that the next attempt will be foolproof!"
Wang Baole agreed with Annihilator's suggestion. Leisurely Taoist was silent for a while, but he could only nod. As for Feng Qiuran, she seemed to be relieved. Although she wasn't in a good mood, she agreed with the decision. Just like that, the group of hundreds of people who had arrived in such a grandiose manner chose to return without any results.
Their return surprised the people left behind in the Holy Zhi Palace, including the cultivators of the Federation. Everything in the Holy Zhi Palace was not much different from when they had left. The only thing that seemed to be more oppressive was the presence of the battleship and the failure of their first attempt.
However, life still had to go on. The appearance of a battleship could not change the lives of the people in the Holy Zhi Palace in such a short period of time. This was especially so when the Holy Zhi Palace discovered that the battleship had returned to the sword body area a few days later. Although Wang Baole and Feng Qiuran could sense the doubts and uneasiness in their discussions, most of the disciples of the Holy Zhi Palace heaved a sigh of relief.
As a result, the merger of the Federation and the Holy Zhi Palace was pushed forward again. Wang Baole also began to cultivate again after a few days of peace. However, this cultivation did not last long. One night, Kim Do-myung came to visit.
As soon as he arrived, Kim Do-myung smiled bitterly and cupped his fists at Wang Baole.
"Baole, I know that something big has happened during this period of time. I also sensed that there was some distance between us brothers. I came here to talk to you frankly.
"I, Kim Do-myung, really have no intention of competing with you for the presidency. Even if that old man Duan Muque gave me a mission, I know what my goal is. On one hand, I want to play a role in the merger of the Federation and the Holy Zhi Palace. On the other hand, I also want to establish a Three Moon Group here that is independent of my family!
"Baole, can you help me?" Kim Do-myung's tone was sincere. When he looked at Wang Baole, his eyes were clear and he did not have any ulterior motives.
Wang Baole rubbed the space between his eyebrows. He had been thinking a lot about the battleship during this period of time. In reality, he and Kim Do-myung were not as estranged as he had said. After all, the two of them had been friends over the years. Therefore, after comforting him, he asked.
"I will definitely help if I can. Tell me, what difficulties have you encountered?"
"There are no difficulties, Baole. I know that my request may cause you to misunderstand, but … Sigh, I will just say it directly. I want to use the shares of the Spirit Internet to exchange for some of your game shares." Kim Do-myung lowered his head in embarrassment.
Wang Baole rubbed the space between his eyebrows again. To him, this was not a big deal. However, it was not something that he could decide alone. Therefore, after thinking about it, Wang Baole said tactfully.
"Duo Ming, you have to discuss this with Xie Haiyang."
"Baole, I have also looked for Xie Haiyang. I went to his cave abode, but I heard that he disappeared the day the battleship appeared. He has not returned for a long time …" Kim Do-myung sighed and said helplessly.
"He went to the cave abode? That guy disappeared again? " Wang Baole was stunned. He immediately took out his voice transmission ring and sent a voice transmission to Xie Haiyang. However, there was no response at all.
Noticing Wang Baole's action, Kim Do-myung's eyes flashed imperceptibly. He lowered his head and sighed.
"Yes, that guy keeps disappearing. This is the second time."
Wang Baole also had a headache. At the same time, the meaning of Kim Do-myung's words made him think that the timing of Xie Haiyang's disappearance was not right. He felt that he had to investigate this matter himself. Therefore, he comforted Kim Do-myung.
"Duo Ming, don't worry about this matter. Xie Haiyang is a mysterious person. Maybe he just has some other things to deal with. I will look for him and give you an answer later."
Kim Do-myung smiled bitterly and nodded. He chatted with Wang Baole for a while longer before taking his leave.
After sending off Kim Do-myung, Wang Baole sat on a chair in the main hall. His brows slowly furrowed as he pondered about Xie Haiyang's matter. Suddenly, he raised his head and looked in the direction that Kim Do-myung had left. Doubt gradually appeared in his eyes. After pondering for a while, he realized that what he was puzzled about was Kim Do-myung's answer.
"He went to the cave abode? That guy went missing again? "
"Yes, that guy keeps disappearing. This is the second time."
Those two sentences surfaced in Wang Baole's mind. Wang Baole's frown deepened. If Jin Duoming didn't know that Xie Haiyang had gone missing in the past, he would have instinctively expressed surprise after hearing Wang Baole's words. He would have even asked Wang Baole if Xie Haiyang had gone missing in the past.
However, Kim Do-myung's answer gave Wang Baole a feeling that he knew that Xie Haiyang had gone missing before.
However, if that was the case, something was amiss. Kim Do-myung should not know that Xie Haiyang had stayed in Ethereal Dao College before. Although Kim Do-myung had asked previously, his answer did not reveal this point. Even if Kim Do-myung had investigated, this was the ancient greenish-bronze sword after all, not the Federation. The possibility of him finding out the truth was not high.
Wang Baole still remembered Kim Do-myung's expression when Wang Baole had warned him not to provoke Xie Haiyang. Based on his understanding of Kim Do-myung, he must have taken the warning to heart. Given his intelligence, he would not investigate in secret. Therefore, there was a high possibility that Kim Do-myung had always thought that Xie Haiyang was a native disciple of the Vast Expanse Dao Palace.
Wang Baole was somewhat puzzled. However, he thought that perhaps Kim Do-myung had inquired about this through other channels. After all, he was not the only one from Ethereal Dao College here.
"Perhaps I've been too sensitive recently." Wang Baole rubbed his glabella. After putting this matter to the back of his mind, he thought about Xie Haiyang's disappearance again. Vaguely, he felt an indescribable sense of frustration rising from the bottom of his heart. He instinctively called out to Little Missy, but she did not respond.
"Asleep again?" Wang Baole stood up and looked at the darkening sky outside. The frustration in his heart grew stronger. Finally, he took out the game's jade slip from his storage bag. He planned to enter the game to relieve his boredom and relieve his inexplicable frustration.
However, no matter how he tried, it was as if the game's server had collapsed. He … couldn't enter!
