Upon the high platform.
Wang Ba felt a barely suppressible longing gradually rising from the Spiritual Platform Temple between his brows.
Under the sway of that longing, though he knew it was somewhat dangerous, he could not help silently calling out once more:
"Come!"
With that call, the sensation of something calling to him grew clearer, even giving him the faint impression that he had received a response.
"There... over there!"
Wang Ba's gaze instinctively fell toward the depths of the palace.
He could feel that the thing calling to him was there!
And it seemed to have noticed where he was as well!
Yet at that very moment, a tremor of extreme terror abruptly arose within his spiritual platform!
Wang Ba shuddered, instantly waking from his somewhat dazed state.
He only had time to see Yuan Wenzhi, who stood a short distance ahead and had repeatedly insisted on protecting him, turn terrified before flying straight away.
And the instant Yuan Wenzhi flew away, a flash of white light filled Wang Ba's vision!
Wang Ba did not even have time to react.
Bang!
An immense force sent his entire body flying.
"Hm?!"
Zhang Daobai, who was battling the Five Gold Core True Persons, suddenly looked toward Wang Ba with astonishment and confusion on his face.
"That is..."
In midair, a purple sandalwood Incense Token outside Wang Ba's body emitted a hazy light, enveloping him as he was sent flying.
Outside that light, a flying sword circled constantly, yet could not break through.
Soon, after sensing the presence on the Incense Token, Zhang Daobai seemed to finally remember something. His expression changed abruptly-shock, resentment, incomprehension, and even a faint trace of fear!
His emotions immediately caused his attacks to slacken, and the Five Gold Core True Persons felt the pressure ease.
