Chapter 6597: Jie Baobao In Danger?

“Big brother, I’m going to cry out of shame at this rate. You can’t give everything to me. You also need to cultivate as well!” Little Fishy exclaimed.

“Why don’t we each take half then? We’ll do the same for the other power fragments we obtain as well.” Chu Feng sliced the power fragment in half and took one portion.

“Fine.” Little Fishy took the other portion.

Both of them began absorbing the power fragment while making their way to the next realm.

The power fragment in the next realm wasn’t too big, either. It was around two times what they had just obtained. However, Chu Feng chose this as their next destination because it was close by.

What he didn’t know was that there was a familiar face in that realm—Jie Baobao.

Her original name was Jie Bao, but she didn’t like that name, so she changed it to Jie Baobao. She maintained a low profile, but the truth was that she was a prodigy on par with Ling Xiao. She had worked together with Chu Feng in the Nine Heavens’ Zenith and had proven herself to be a credible and reliable person.

Chu Feng had a good impression of her.

Jie Baobao had just come out of closed-door training, and she had surpassed Ling Xiao and reached rank six True Dragon World Spiritist. However, she wasn’t in the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s cultivation ground but a discreet area.

Hundreds of other Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s world spiritists were gathered around her, but they had conflicted looks on their faces. Some looked troubled, but others looked excited as if they had been granted a new lease of life.

“We have obtained the stuff. Let’s wait for Ling Xiao and the others to arrive,” an old woman said. She was a rank seven True Dragon World Spiritist, the strongest one in this group.

“Oh no.” Jie Baobao’s face suddenly darkened.

“What’s wrong?” someone asked.

“I forgot to bring something important with me. I need to make a return trip,” Jie Baobao said.

“You can’t,” the old woman objected. “Elder Ling Kun is gathering everyone to channel the extraction formation to obtain God’s Era’s power fragment. He is bound to notice that so many of us have gone missing with our wealth. If you get discovered now, you won’t be able to come out anymore.”

“Don’t worry, elder. I’ll be fine. I won’t divulge your whereabouts even if I get caught,” Jie Baobao said.

“I’m not worried about you betraying us, Baobao. I’m worried about your safety. The Sacred Mansion is not the same place as it was before. Everyone is tense.

“Besides, there are rumors that you and Ling Xiao are on close terms with Chu Feng. I heard that Elder Ling Kun came here not just for God’s Era’s power fragment but also to investigate you. On top of that, his granddaughter has been jealous of you for a while now, but she has been unable to do anything because of your exceptional talent.

“But the tides have changed. Elder Ling Kun has made a breakthrough to rank one Heavenly Dragon World Spiritist and is highly regarded by the Mansion Master, and his granddaughter is the kind to oppress others. I don’t think it’s safe for you to return now,” the old woman replied.

“I did work with Chu Feng on the Nine Heavens’ Zenith, but only I, Ling Xiao, and Chu Feng know about that. Outsiders can’t possibly know that. The rumors floating in the Sacred Mansion are mere rumors. They don’t have evidence; I have nothing to fear.

“Besides, we are only absent. We are bound to have our own private matters to attend to; they wouldn’t think that we are planning to leave the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion. Even if they do suspect something, they can’t possibly punish me if I feign ignorance. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

“I have to return to retrieve the item. Pardon me, elder.”

Jie Baobao rose into the sky to leave.

A barrier suddenly sealed off the surroundings, blocking Jie Baobao’s path. The old woman was stopping Jie Baobao from leaving.

But Jie Baobao’s spirit power pierced right through the barrier. She might be a rank six True Dragon World Spiritist, but she possessed heaven-defying battle power capable of surmounting a rank. The old woman wasn’t a match for her.

“Forget it, elder. We might be too nervous because we’re feeling guilty for leaving the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion. Baobao is right. It’s unlikely that anyone will think that we are fleeing from the Sacred Mansion. They are busy extracting the power fragment right now; it’s unlikely that they will notice us,” someone said.

“Let’s hope I’m overthinking it,” the old woman remarked with a sigh.

Jie Boabao returned to the cultivation ground. It was inferior compared to Jie Ranqing’s cultivation ground, but it was larger and could accommodate more people. It was reminiscent of a little country.

However, the tens of millions of world spiritists residing here were making their way into the innermost depths of the cultivation ground to extract God’s Era’s power fragment.

Jie Baobao made her way to the chamber where she had previously been in closed-door training. It was her private chamber, imbued with a formation that only allowed her to enter.

She soon left the chamber holding something with a relieved smile. That was the important item she had forgotten to take.

All of a sudden, she narrowed her eyes.

Several figures had appeared in the sky above her. All of them were at least late True Dragon World Spiritists, and there were even a couple of pinnacle True Dragon World Spiritists.

The one leading the group was a white-haired elder who had reached rank one Heavenly Dragon World Spiritist. He was Ling Kun.

He had been at the Undying Starfield, and he had witnessed Chu Feng wreaking havoc there. Later, he returned to the Seven Realms Galaxy together with Jie Tianran after witnessing God’s Era’s power fragments scattering all around the Seven Realms Galaxy.

Jie Tianran tasked him to extract the power fragment here.

“Paying respect to the elders,” Jie Baobao said with a bow.

Ling Kun didn’t respond. His face was livid. With a wave of his hand, he bound Jie Baobao with an invisible rope.
