That was simply how Wang Baole worked. He noted down everyone who had ever crossed him and found ways of getting even when the opportunity presented itself.
He wasn't always fixated on getting payback, of course. The Black Rift Legion had tried to kill him, but Wang Baole had no intention of sabotaging the former or leaving them to their own devices on the battlefield.
His thoughts were focused on the Violet Gold New Dao Sect's patriarch. In his opinion, he had attained a certain level of cultivation after his breakthrough. He could be considered a person of significance. Fixating on his former quarrels with the Black Rift Legion wouldn't be appropriate for someone of his newly risen status.
