Dugu Lin had always been intelligent. He was well aware of the current state of the war. Not only did the Never-Ending Clan hold the upper hand, but Leisurely Taoist also made use of their greed to make most of the Dao Palace disciples willingly join the war.
In such a situation, the best choice for him was naturally to blend in and obtain resources to increase his cultivation level in this war.
However, in the end, he still couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart. It wasn't for the Federation, nor was it for the sect, but for his master. He couldn't let go. Even though his master had always had a bad reputation and had a fickle personality and was somewhat ruthless, he still … couldn't forget the care and nurturing his master had given him.
And the only way to save his master was to kill Leisurely Taoist!
Therefore, when he sensed that Feng Qiuran's figure had appeared in the teleportation array, Dugu Lin's heart trembled violently. But he still hesitated. He didn't know if Feng Qiuran had become a puppet like his master, so he didn't dare to take the risk.
It wasn't until the familiar blood-colored meridians appeared on the plump figure beside Feng Qiuran that he vaguely recognized Wang Baole's identity that Dugu Lin gritted his teeth and made a decision.
However, just in case, he first tried to bewitch the crowd with his words. Once he lured them over, he took out a jade slip to warn them. Only then did he speak calmly. His eyes shone brightly as he stared at the two figures who were slowly walking out from the fog, one big and one small.
Feng Qiuran's gaze was sharp, and Wang Baole's expression didn't reveal anything, but there were mixed feelings in his heart. The moment the two of them walked out of the teleportation array, they each looked around. After confirming that everyone else was dead except for Dugu Lin, their gazes landed on Dugu Lin.
Especially the warning jade slip in his hand!
"Fellow Daoist Dugu, long time no see." Wang Baole, who was clad in his Monarch Armor and whose crimson meridians danced around his body, looked like a God of War. As he spoke, the armor on his face seemed to melt away, revealing his face.
Dugu Lin narrowed his eyes and carefully looked at Wang Baole, then at Feng Qiuran. After confirming that Feng Qiuran's eyes were not dull, but full of charm, he finally let out a sigh of relief and immediately sent a voice transmission.
"The Federation has retreated to Venus, and the Never-Ending Clan battleship lacks the energy to repair it. It won't be able to operate again for the time being. Leisurely Taoist is guarding the battleship. According to my judgment, he won't be able to split his attention too much until the battleship is repaired!"
"Although my master Annihilator is being manipulated like a puppet, I've observed him for a long time. Occasionally, he shows signs of being absent-minded. Apparently, his soul hasn't perished yet!"
"This disciple is willing to stay here and gather military intelligence for the two Elders. I only ask that the two Elders … save my master when the time is right! Elders, please leave as soon as possible. Every five minutes, the Never-Ending Clan will scan this place with their divine senses. There's not much time left … "Dugu Lin hurriedly sent a voice transmission, then cupped his fists and bowed to Wang Baole and Feng Qiuran!
Without waiting for Wang Baole and Feng Qiuran to speak, Dugu Lin suddenly raised his left hand and slammed it hard on his chest. With a boom, his entire body shook violently, and blood spurted out.
This blow was too vicious. He had almost severed his own meridians, causing him to be severely injured. As he retreated, he fainted. The warning jade slip in his right hand seemed to indicate that he had been severely injured and lost consciousness just as he was about to crush it.
"Elder Qiuran, let's go!" Wang Baole took a long look at the unconscious Dugu Lin, then flew into the sky. Feng Qiuran hesitated for a moment, then spoke in a low voice.
"There should be many disciples like Dugu Lin in the Dao Palace. We can tell them the truth and mobilize all the Dao Palace cultivators. This might be more effective than us going to the Federation."
"Do you really think that those Dao Palace cultivators who want to know the truth are so stupid that they still don't know the answer?" Wang Baole said softly, a cold light flashing in her eyes.
Feng Qiuran opened her mouth as if to say something, but Wang Baole shook her head.
"Elder Qiuran, I once read an autobiography. There's a saying in it: 'Once the door of greed is opened, it can never be closed again!'" With that, Wang Baole flew out of the sky and accelerated.
Feng Qiuran fell silent. There was a complicated look in her eyes as she looked around her. She sighed softly, then flew out and followed behind Wang Baole. Together, they transformed into two streaks of light that pierced through the skies and soared into the dark heavens!
Even though they were moving quickly, Mercury had become the Never-Ending Clan's base of operations. Their cultivation and speed allowed them to evade detection from most Dao Palace cultivators, but before they could break through Mercury's array formation, Daoist You Ran, who had been meditating inside the Never-Ending Clan battleship, sensed their presence.
Inside the Never-Ending Clan battleship, the third level, which had been destroyed by Wang Baole's self-destruction, had been repaired. The passageway of flesh and blood and the pool of water looked exactly the same as before. The only difference was … the person sitting cross-legged in the pool of water was no longer the same battle robe. Instead, it was … Daoist You Ran!
Leisurely Taoist, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, was breathing evenly. However, when he sensed the abnormality, his breathing quickened, and his eyes flew open!
"Wang Baole, Feng Qiuran!" A dark light flashed in the Leisurely Taoist's eyes. He clearly didn't know that he had died and had been resurrected. Therefore, although his murmurs were filled with hatred, deep in his heart, the hatred stemmed more from the damage Wang Baole had done to the battleship.
"Dao Palace disciples, listen up! Wang Baole murdered Elder Feng Qiuran, causing Elder Feng Qiuran's mind to be affected. Stop him with all your might, kill Wang Baole, and save Elder Feng Qiuran!"
As soon as the Leisurely Taoist finished speaking, his voice reverberated in all directions, forming a buzzing sound that reverberated throughout the entire battleship. Through the battleship, his will was integrated into Mercury's array formation, covering the entire planet. At that moment, all the Dao Palace cultivators on Mercury were shaken to their cores. When they heard his words, Mercury's array formation was fully activated, locking onto Wang Baole and Feng Qiuran's positions!
At the same time, the Leisurely Taoist, who couldn't leave the battleship, narrowed his eyes and issued another order.
"Annihilator, capture Feng Qiuran and kill Wang Baole!"
Using a special method, this order exploded in the mind of Annihilator, who was meditating in the main building of the base, and reverberated endlessly.
Annihilator was in a pitch-black secret room. When he received the Leisurely Taoist's order, he slowly raised his head with a numb expression. He stood up and took a step forward, disappearing in an instant. When he reappeared, he was already in midair. After locking onto Wang Baole and Feng Qiuran's positions with the help of Mercury's array formation, Annihilator's cultivation began to circulate. Immediately, a Soul Conduit realm aura erupted with a boom, causing the space around him to distort. He took another step forward, and as if he could tear the space apart, he whizzed towards the location he had locked onto.
At the same time, in the skies of Mercury, Wang Baole and Feng Qiuran, who were speeding through Mercury's territory and into outer space, shuddered. They felt a force from the void envelop them in an instant. It was like an invisible pressure was trying to seal the two of them and slow them down, preventing them from leaving.
"We've been discovered. This is the Dao Palace's regional array formation. Its power is unfathomable. I'll need the time it takes for a joss stick to burn to break it …" Feng Qiuran's expression changed. Just as she spoke, Wang Baole, clad in his Thearch Armor and looking like a god of war, raised his right hand without a word.
He had tried to contact Li Xingwen and the others with his voice transmission ring many times along the way. However, it was clear that it was difficult to use his voice transmission ring within Mercury's territory. He had to leave the area for it to be effective.
After giving up on using his voice transmission ring, Wang Baole let out a low growl as he raised his right hand. His cultivation erupted, and the Yuanying in his body vibrated. It released a wave of aura that was clearly stronger than the one he had released on the ancient greenish-bronze sword.
In truth, the moment Wang Baole stepped out of the Teleportation Formation, he had already felt the change in the Yuanying in his body. It was as if the entire world had enveloped him. It felt as if … Mercury beneath his feet was releasing emotions of joy because of his arrival.
However, he didn't have the time to feel it then. Now that he saw the array formation descending upon him, Wang Baole decided to release his Yuanying, allowing the Yuanying to resonate with Mercury. His aura erupted into the heavens at that moment. After being reinforced by the Thearch Armor once again, all of it surged into the Divine Armament on his right arm!
In the blink of an eye, a sharp aura that caused the entire planet to tremble erupted in all directions with extremely domineering waves of energy. Looking from afar, it was like a hurricane that connected the heavens and the earth. As the heavens rumbled, Wang Baole let out a loud roar.
"Open!"
The right arm of the Divine Armament slashed forward abruptly!
The heavens and the earth changed, and the wind and clouds scattered. The Dao Palace's regional array formation that had been suppressing the two of them … was forced to conjure up a cobweb-like shadow before them. As if it couldn't withstand the immense force, it tore apart layer by layer and broke apart abruptly, collapsing instantly!
