Chapter 944
Chapter 944: Chapter 944, Iron Head!
Wang Baole’s words were said in an upright manner. It also explained why he had rejected the offer earlier. It gave off a sense of integrity, especially since what he had said was indeed reasonable, after all, no one knew if the seal was normal or not.
Therefore, they were worried that if they didn’t undo the seal, they would be targeted. If it were anyone else, they would probably have the same thoughts as Wang Baole.
That was indeed the case. Those who had obtained the illusion crystals hesitated, but they still said the same thing. They didn’t dare to gamble with such an opportunity.
It was especially so for the five million red crystals. Even though it wasn’t a small amount, almost everyone here could afford it. Using such a small amount of money to gamble with the fate of an opportunity wasn’t equal in their eyes.
Wang Baole had calculated this point. The reason why he had used words to cover it up was because he had learned his lesson from the past. He wanted to be able to earn both money and favors.
From the looks of it, the effect wasn’t bad.
Wang Baole was very satisfied, but he didn’t show it on his face. He didn’t pay any attention to the hesitation of the other people who had the illusion crystals. Instead, he sat down cross-legged and waved his hand, lifting up the illusion crystals that everyone had sent over, he made them float in front of him. Then, he closed his eyes and quickly formed a seal with his hands. In order to make it more realistic, he even shook some of the power of origin, causing the light around him to change and appear extraordinary.
With this method, Wang Baole began to follow the method that the paper figurine had taught him to break the seals on the illusion crystals. He peeled them off one by one like peeling skin.
He wasn’t worried that someone would disturb him while he was cracking the seals. On one hand, he didn’t lower his guard. On the other hand, if others were to make a move, people like the masked woman and the scholarly youth who had given him the illusion crystals would definitely not allow it.
After all, Wang Baole was helping them crack the seals.
…
Wang Baole was clear about this, and so were they. The people around him were also clear about this. Therefore, they could only watch helplessly as Wang Baole’s aura grew stronger and stronger. The illusion crystals in front of him.., their veils seemed to be lifted with the naked eye, and the light grew stronger and stronger. In the end, it was like a gemstone under the sun, emitting a brilliant light. At the same time, it resonated with the power of the heaven and earth, and without any hindrance.., it resonated completely.
Even though there was no real loud boom, everyone who saw the illusory crystals felt a soundless echo in their minds. Even those who had never seen it before could be certain at this moment.., this… was what the illusion crystals should look like.
At the same time, this was what everyone remembered from the ancient records of their families and sects. As a result, those who hesitated and didn’t ask Wang Baole to crack it immediately had their eyes lit up. It was the same for Li Lin, he was also one of the thirty people who had obtained the illusion crystals. However, due to the conflict with Wang Baole, he was even more nervous now.
The entire process of cracking the illusion crystals didn’t need to last long. However, for the sake of the effect, Wang Baole still delayed it for a while until those who hadn’t requested to crack it immediately became anxious, there was only one incense stick left before the end of the trial. Wang Baole opened his eyes abruptly. He raised his right hand and waved it. Instantly, the illusion crystals around him seemed to have been wiped away by the last layer of dust. In that instant, they shone even brighter than before, it was even brighter than before.
“It should be enough, but I can’t guarantee that it will last for long. I’ve tried my best.”Wang Baole’s face was pale. As he spoke calmly, he waved his hand, and instantly, the illusion crystals headed straight for their owners, the masked woman and the others caught them.
Without waiting for them to speak, the other elites who had not been unsealed immediately threw out the illusion crystals in their hands without the slightest hesitation. They also threw out their red crystal cards. The forest was also mixed in with them, as for the figure, he subconsciously hid behind the others, afraid that Wang Baole would see him!
He had not wanted to do so, but the comparison between the two parties’illusion crystals did not require the use of divine perception. As long as one had eyes, one would be able to tell the difference.
Especially since time was about to end, how could he not be anxious? However, Wang Baole did not receive them immediately. Instead, he took a deep breath and looked at the people.
“Have you all thought it through?”
“Thank you, fellow Daoist, for your help. If you don’t need to crack it to advance to the next level, that is something that we are willing to do. We will not take it out on you!”
“That’s right. Don’t worry, fellow Daoist!”
Faced with the words of these people, Wang Baole showed some hesitation. After a few breaths, he shook his head and sighed.
“Forget it. Since all of you don’t want to do this, I can only help!”As he spoke, Wang Baole was filled with emotion. Just as he was about to start cracking it, he suddenly felt that there was something wrong with the amount. Including the ones from before, he realized that one of the illusion crystals was missing.
The one that was missing was naturally not his own. Instead, there was one person in the crowd who did not ask Wang Baole to decode it.
Wang Baole had seen this person who did not ask to be deciphered before. He was the tall brother Gao, who had been standing with Li Lin Zi and the bell lady at the entrance of the Guild Hall that day.
The tall brother Gao was standing in the crowd with his arms crossed. There was a conflicted look in his eyes. When he noticed that Wang Baole was looking at him, he glared at him and snorted.
“There’s no need to look. I’m not going to crack it!”
Wang Baole had a strange expression on his face. What the other party had done had put him in a difficult position. After all, if everyone had cracked it, there wouldn’t have been any differences. Things that couldn’t be solved wouldn’t have appeared in the eyes of the crowd, it wouldn’t have appeared in the eyes of the crowd.
That was, of course, the best outcome. After all, even though he had spoken up many times before, he was clear that his stance was his stance. Reality was reality. Once he realized that he couldn’t crack it, it was fine. Even though there were some people who wouldn’t mind.., however, there would still be people who would be displeased and target him.
Even though Wang Baole didn’t care about targeting him, if he could avoid it eventually, it would be for the best. Therefore, he smiled. Not only did he not reveal his thoughts, he even revealed an expression of admiration.
“Fellow Daoist, it is fate that everyone is here. Forget it, since everyone else has been resolved, there is no need to leave you alone. How about this? Let’s treat it as making friends. I will help you for free,”Wang Baole said with a smile, he raised his right hand and extended it towards brother Gao Ren.
The expert was stunned when he heard that. He looked closely at Wang Baole and heaved a sigh of relief. He thought to himself that he had been too impulsive previously. Li Linzi had already given up, so why should he care about what he had once said, he just didn’t like Xie Dalu.
Furthermore, it was obvious that Xie Dalu wasn’t as mercenary as Li Linzi had said. Most importantly… Xie Dalu had given him face!
Even though there were people in the sect who said that he wasn’t smart, he felt that it wasn’t that he wasn’t smart, but that he was too arrogant. That was why he felt that anyone who gave him face was someone he could befriend.
With that thought, the way he looked at Wang Baole was different from before.
“Your name is Xie Dalu, right? I’ll remember it.”Although his tone was harsh, that was his basic tone. As he spoke, he raised his right hand and waved it, throwing his illusion crystal over.
“This fellow is a little straight…”Wang Baole blinked. He could vaguely see the personality of this senior brother. He didn’t mind it. Instead, he smiled and began cracking the illusion crystal with his hand seals.
Just like that, while everyone was waiting, the time it takes for an incense stick to burn passed. Just before the ripples of the teleportation between the heavens and earth reached an instant of grandeur, Wang Baole finally completed cracking the illusion crystal. He waved the dazzling illusion crystals around him, he made them fly towards their respective owners. As Wang Baole stood up, the world instantly began to rumble.
The wind and clouds surged in the sky, and waves of ripples spread from the ground. Everyone around them was shaken, and the power of the transference… was activated!
The instant the transference was activated… something that was both unexpected and within expectations suddenly happened. Among the crowd that didn’t manage to get their hands on the illusionary crystals, seven people… exploded in that instant, both their speed and cultivation surpassed what they had displayed earlier. They charged towards seven of the thirty people who had gotten their hands on the illusion crystal at lightning speed!
They closed in on Wang Baole in an instant. One of the seven people was targeting Wang Baole. At the same time, the bell maiden attacked as well. She cooperated with the other party and charged towards Wang Baole.
As for the other six, their targets were different, but without exception, they were all extremely fast. In an instant, a loud boom erupted, reverberating in the sky. There was also a violent ripple that spread out from where everyone was fighting, it swept across the surroundings like a violent wind!
