Most of the time, the word "but" represented the reversal of the heavens and the earth. This was the case for Xie Haiyang. His eyes suddenly lit up.
"Senior, please tell me!"
"Little Xie, it's true that I can't help you with this matter, but I have a disciple who I know has a good relationship with Chen Qing. If you can convince him … I'm sure he'll be able to solve all your problems with a single word."
Xie Haiyang's body trembled when he heard Inferno Laozu's words. His breathing quickened, and the calmness he had tried so hard to maintain collapsed in an instant. He grabbed the jade slip and spoke in a hurry, almost losing his self-control.
"Senior, please help this junior introduce this honorable fellow Daoist. No matter what the conditions are, this junior will agree!"
"Honorable fellow Daoist …" Inferno Laozu's tone was a little strange. If it were any other time, Xie Haiyang would have noticed, but he was too worried right now to notice the clues in Inferno Laozu's tone.
"Little Xie, this disciple of mine is a little arrogant. He doesn't meet outsiders easily, so if you want him to help, I don't think it's something that can be solved with money. After all, under the influence of his arrogance, he doesn't care about external things," Inferno Laozu said slowly.
"Arrogant?" Xie Haiyang was stunned. When he heard Inferno Laozu's words, the first thing that came to his mind was a fat man. But when he heard Inferno Laozu's words, he immediately erased the fat man's image.
In his opinion, Wang Baole was one of the most unsuitable candidates in the world for being aloof and arrogant. He was so thick-skinned that even the mighty figures of the Star Domain realm wouldn't be able to break through his defenses. Furthermore, this didn't match Wang Baole's temperament. Even though that was what he thought, Xie Haiyang still couldn't help but ask.
"Senior, are you talking about Wang Baole?"
"That kid is not my disciple yet." Inferno Laozu smiled. It seemed like he was denying it, but in fact, if Xie Haiyang knew the answer, his words would have a different meaning.
After all, he didn't deny it. He only stated the current facts.
Of course, Xie Haiyang, who didn't know anything now, couldn't tell. Therefore, when he heard Inferno Laozu's words, he immediately felt that his judgment was correct. It couldn't be that fatty.
First of all, the other party was not a disciple of the Inferno Sect. Secondly, his temperament and arrogance did not match at all. Thus, he sighed and began to beg the Inferno Laozu.
But in the end, Inferno Laozu did not agree. He only told him to think of a way himself.
After ending the call, Xie Haiyang held the jade slip in his hand, his expression constantly changing. His mind was spinning rapidly as he racked his brains on how to get acquainted with the disciple of Inferno Laozu and establish a friendship with him.
"I heard that the disciples of Lie Yan Laozu from back then are all dead. The ones we have now are said to have been recruited later … There are no clues." Xie Haiyang scratched his head, but he didn't give up. In his opinion, this disciple of the Inferno Patriarch was an honored guest since he had such a close relationship with Chen Qing. Perhaps this was where his greatest hope lay.
"As long as I can meet this important guest … I'll definitely be able to make friends with him!" Xie Haiyang was very confident in his abilities.
"Therefore, the most important thing now is how to get acquainted with this important guest …."
While Xie Haiyang was racking his brains on how to get acquainted with this important guest, this important guest of his was feeling conflicted. Although he felt helpless, he had no choice but to face the paper person that had appeared in front of him.
Seven days had passed, and the first day had yet to arrive. There were still a few hours before dawn, but the sudden appearance of the paper person interrupted Wang Baole's plans.
"Xie Dalu, I've already helped you get a spot. Now … it's your turn."
"Senior, it's not that I don't want to help. You've been of great help to me during this period, so I agree to our agreement. However, I would like to ask …" Wang Baole said carefully. He wasn't lying. This was indeed what he wanted to ask.
"Can you help me after I advance to the Planet realm? That way, I'll have a greater chance of success." In Wang Baole's opinion, reciting Dao scriptures at the Planet realm level would naturally allow him to recite more scriptures. At the same time, he would more or less be able to protect himself.
Of course, self-protection might not be of any use. It was just the difference between a small ant and a big ant, but it was still an additional layer of protection.
The paper person shook its head in response to Wang Baole's question.
"After you advance to the Planet realm, you will be sent out immediately. There won't be enough time … Go!" With that said, it didn't give Wang Baole any time to consider. It raised its right hand and waved it. Immediately, white paper shreds danced in the air and enveloped Wang Baole. In an instant, they disappeared from the room together.
When they appeared … before he could see his surroundings clearly, Wang Baole first heard the special sound of waves in the sea of paper. Then, when his vision cleared, he saw a vast black sea of paper in front of him.
Looking at the sea of paper, Wang Baole's mind raced. He was nervous and helpless, but he knew that he had to do it. However, he was very worried that if he really finished reciting … the invincible existence in the paper person's mouth would point a finger at him across the Star Domain.
"It shouldn't be …" Wang Baole gave himself some random encouragement in an attempt to dissipate his nervousness.
"Why are you so nervous?" The paper person turned its head and looked at Wang Baole. A dark light flashed in its eyes, as if it would fall out with Wang Baole if he didn't answer well.
Even if it was just a piece of paper, it shouldn't fall out with him. However, Wang Baole still had a similar feeling. Hence, he took a deep breath and spoke seriously.
"To be honest, it's an elder of mine. He's currently in a deep sleep. I'm worried that if I disturb him too much, he won't be happy …"
The paper person looked at Wang Baole and asked again, "What's your relationship with this elder?"
"Father-in-law!" Wang Baole said solemnly.
The paper person was silent and ignored Wang Baole. It raised its right hand and grabbed Wang Baole's wrist. Its body rushed forward, and as Wang Baole's pupils contracted, it directly stepped into the sea of black paper with him!
As soon as he stepped in, a large amount of black Qi was released from the sea of black paper and spread towards Wang Baole and the paper human cutout. However, the strange thing was that as the black Qi neared, the paper human cutout emitted a glow that formed a halo and kept the black Qi at bay.
Upon seeing this, Wang Baole felt slightly relieved. Before he could say anything, the paper person had already grabbed him and rapidly rushed into the depths of the sea of black paper.
The deeper they went, the more black gas appeared in the sea of black paper. Although the light emitted by the paper person had a miraculous effect, Wang Baole watched in horror as the halo around the paper person's body turned into black paper at a visible rate.
Fortunately, the moment the light circle completely turned into black paper, the paper doll's body trembled, and the light circle that had turned into black paper immediately shattered. After the pieces of paper scattered, a new layer of light circle appeared. However, the paper doll's body seemed to be slightly thinner.
Just like that, as the paper human cutout sped forward, it brought Wang Baole deeper and deeper into the sea of black paper, getting closer and closer. When the ninth light circle that appeared around its body turned into black paper, and the tenth light circle materialized, its body visibly thinner by half, they finally … neared the bottom of the sea of black paper!
From afar, Wang Baole's eyes suddenly widened. This was because he saw that at the bottom of the countless black paper shreds, which was the bottom of the sea, there was a huge array formation!
This array formation was formed by more than a hundred white stone pillars. It was extremely vast and spread out in all directions. In the middle of it, there was a thousand-foot-wide mirror!
To be more precise, it was a mirror-like seal. There were many cracks on it, and endless black gas was seeping out from these cracks and spreading in all directions.
It was obvious that this … was most likely the source of the sea of black paper. In other words, the reason this sea had turned black was because of the shattering of the mirror seal!
Not only that, but what shocked Wang Baole even more was that at the center of the mirror, there was a person sitting cross-legged. It was not a paper person, but a body of flesh and blood!!
It was a woman. She wore a white robe and her face was as pale as a corpse. There was no trace of life in her, but this paleness could not hide her beautiful face.
A significant portion of the black gas that was seeping out from the cracks in the mirror was constantly entangling the woman's corpse. From a distance, it looked like the black gas was constantly trying to assimilate the woman!
