Chapter 785: Sowing Goodwill!

Wang Baole’s pupils narrowed unnoticeably. Afterwards, he immediately raised his head and replied. Not caring about the gazes of the surrounding crowd, he spoke respectfully.

“Greetings to the esteemed patriarch! May your reign be supreme and absolute, may twin dragons soar under your rule, may the three realms bow to your mighty presence, may those from all four corners of the world come to worship at your feet, and may you, with your bare fingers, exact just punishment on the divine! May you be free from the six paths of reincarnation, may your soul remain invincible as long as the Seven Stars of the Northern Dipper shine in the skies, may your heart resist temptation from demons from all eight regions of the world, may your mind preserve its clarity amidst the nine worldly emotions, and may the Eternal Star realm be ten steps within your reach!”

These words, which Wang Baole spoke during the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect’s general assembly previously, came out of his mouth once again and echoed, spreading through the surroundings. They caused all cultivators, regardless of whether they were friend or foe, to look at each other speechlessly and have indescribable emotions forming in their hearts. In a nutshell, the way they looked at Wang Baole was completely different.

Wang Baole didn’t care what others thought. At that moment, he had a respectful look on his face, and his eyes were burning with passion. This caused the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect’s patriarch, who was about to retract his consciousness, to cough and speak again.

“That’s enough, there’s no need to greet me in that way in the future.”

“I accept your orders patriarch, your skills are so magnificent, and you’re so respected by everyone. As a mighty figure of our Divine Eye civilization, you are still so humble. You’re truly a role model to all of us. You have enabled us to learn a lot. Thank you for your teachings and grooming. I, Long Nanzi, will definitely not let you down. I swear that I will work with utter devotion for the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect!”

Wang Baole smacked his chest in excitement as he continued speaking loudly.

Seemingly helpless towards Wang Baole’s words, the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect’s patriarch could only remain silent and cough again before retracting his consciousness. As for Wang Baole, he looked at everyone cheerily, and everyone stared at him as though he were a god. After rubbing his hands, he faced the crowd and cupped his fists.

“Fellow Daoists, we’re all working for our respective masters here. If I’ve offended you with my actions just now, I hope you won’t take it to heart. I’m a very magnanimous man and never hold any grudges. I’m a little silly at times, and I really love making friends. I hope all of you out there don’t take my actions to heart, and I really wish to become good friends with all of you in the future.”

After listening to Wang Baole’s words, the surrounding crowd’s expressions became weird. Without a doubt, Wang Baole was previously infamous for… targeting the Violet Gold New Dao Sect’s Ink Dragon Legion for revenge.

Such a maniac was actually saying that he was magnanimous. Only a fool would believe him. In fact, even a fool may not believe him!

Seeing how the crowd had no reaction to his sincere words, Wang Baole felt it was somewhat of a shame in his heart. So he cupped his fists again, then turned around and flew towards the Ice Phoenix Legion’s camp.

It was only when he finally left the battlefield that the cultivators from both sides took deep breaths and started talking.

“His bootlicking has reached such a level, this Long Nanzi is way too shameless!”

“Shut up. He may be shameless, but you can’t deny his capability. You better not offend him!”

“Damn it, if I could be like him, I would probably be an army commander by now…”

Not only were these ordinary cultivators jealous, even the few army commanders, who had heard this many times, were extremely shocked. In reality, at the general assembly previously, Wang Baole had said similar things. Although he was somewhat famous back then, it wasn’t obvious to most people, so he didn’t pose too much of a threat.

But it was different now, especially so considering the capability Wang Baole displayed in that battle. It forced them to take him seriously. At the same time, he was so proficient at bootlicking that it wasn’t hard to imagine him holding a higher position in the future if he carried on like this.

Even Daoist Red Dragon furrowed his brows. Although he disliked Wang Baole, he had to admit that the conversation between him and the patriarch suppressed much of the anger he felt towards Wang Baole in his heart.

If anyone were to look down on a Soul Conduit who could speak to the patriarch like that, there was a huge possibility that they would attract some unnecessary trouble. So in silence, Daoist Red Dragon’s gaze flashed as he looked towards Wang Baole, who was just about to enter the Ice Phoenix Legion. Suddenly, a smile appeared on his face, and he shouted, “Fellow Daoist Long Nanzi, would you like to join my Red Dragon Legion?”

Hearing this, a glimmer appeared in Fairy Ling You’s eyes as she hmphed.

As for Wang Baole, he stopped in his tracks after hearing that. When he turned his head to look at Daoist Red Dragon, a smile appeared on his face, and he bowed towards Daoist Red Dragon with cupped fists. But when he raised his head, he spoke with a solemn tone.

“Commander Ling You put her trust in me when I first joined the Ice Phoenix Legion and has always been supportive of me. I hope you’ll understand Daoist Red Dragon. Unless it’s an order that I can’t disobey, I, Long Nanzi, will be eternally loyal to the Ice Phoenix Legion. Only then can I repay them for all that they have done for me!”

Speaking, Wang Baole cupped his fists once again, turned around, and stepped into the Ice Phoenix Legion’s camp.

Daoist Red Dragon expressed his regret at being unable to recruit Wang Baole into his army and shouted again, “You don’t need to reply to me immediately, Fellow Daoist Long Nanzi. The post of Red Dragon Legion vice-commander will always be waiting for you!”

After speaking, Daoist Red Dragon turned around and led his army away with a flick of his body.

As he left, the other armies that supported the eleventh army left as well. Meanwhile, many thoughts rolled around in the mind of Fairy Ling You, who was standing there. After barely suppressing those thoughts, Fairy Ling You exchanged pleasantries with the eight and ninth armies that came to help. After sending them away, she returned to the Ice Phoenix Legion’s camp.

The first thing she did was summon the oval-faced female cultivator to find out what went on.

After she got notice of the plight of Lord Ling Tao and the performance of Wang Baole’s Divine Justice Shield, Fairy Ling You was completely flabbergasted, and her thoughts got turned upside down.

She had originally thought that Wang Baole would take at least several years to refine the Divine Justice Shield to level three or four, so she didn’t really take notice of him previously. In fact, when the patriarch sent Wang Baole to her, she felt quite displeased and thought he was a burden. No matter what, she would never have thought that Wang Baole’s skill in artifact refinement had reached an unprecedented level.

Now, she felt that Wang Baole wasn’t a burden at all. He was basically a moving castle! And a super castle at that!

With his skill in artifact refinement, one could say that any army that recruited him would rise up a lot in the rankings. This made Fairy Ling You’s breathing quicken, and her eyes light up. She originally wanted to summon Wang Baole, but after thinking, she decided to let others tie up loose ends and handle the rest. She walked out and headed towards Wang Baole’s cave abode personally.

Very quickly, she arrived. Wang Baole wasn’t alarmed to see her visit and immediately invited her in respectfully.

That was the first time Fairy Ling You had been to Wang Baole’s cave abode. While she sized it up, she also saw Little Wu and the donkey. But she only swept a glance at them and didn’t bother with them too much. When she looked at Wang Baole, she was silent for a while before she spoke seriously.

“Fellow Daoist Long Nanzi, I was busy handling the matters of the army previously and had many misunderstandings towards you. I hope you don’t take my slight neglect to heart.”

When Wang Baole heard that, he felt something odd. He could predict that she would visit, but he didn’t think that the Spirit Immortal, who was an “Ice Queen”, could be so honest and open and speak the truth directly. This made Wang Baole feel good about the lady.

“You’re too kind, Commander. I’m lucky to be able to rest in and call the Ice Phoenix Legion my home… After all, we both know that I’m wanted in the outside world.” Wang Baole thought for a while and decided to be slightly open too, and so he spoke with a forced smile.

It was just that… after Wang Baole spoke, Fairy Ling You went silent once more, seemingly not knowing how to continue the conversation. Wang Baole was also slightly confused. He stood at one side, blinked, and thought about whether he should find a conversation topic himself. In the end, he decided not to speak and remained silent.

After the two of them were silent for a while, Fairy Ling You stared at Wang Baole and spoke slowly with a low voice.

“Fellow Daoist Long Nanzi, could you let me take a look at your Divine Justice Shield?”

Wang Baole thought for a while and took out his Divine Justice Shield. As he took it out, it exuded waves of resplendent light on Wang Baole’s body. The light was actually layers of light coming from layer upon layer of Divine Justice Shields. When he took out everything, the whole cave abode was illuminated as they finally gathered onto Wang Baole’s palm and formed a giant light sphere.

When he passed the light sphere to Fairy Ling You and she checked it thoroughly, her expression slowly changed, and shock appeared in her eyes. It was only after a long time that Fairy Ling You retracted her gaze. Looking at Wang Baole, she suddenly spoke.

“Fellow Daoist Long Nanzi, with your ability, I’m afraid you won’t be in my Ice Phoenix Legion for much longer. I want to sow goodwill with you. This item has obviously caught the patriarch’s fancy, so… what do you want? I can help you as a form of repayment for my previous negligence and to thank you for helping us in this battle!”
