Annihilator's body trembled. Even with his Soul Conduit realm cultivation, it had been a long time since he had been so shaken. It was hard for him to imagine that Wang Baole had actually obtained the status of an adopted disciple!
He had previously judged that becoming a core disciple would be extremely difficult for Wang Baole. However, Wang Baole had obtained a status that was two levels higher than that of a core disciple. It was an ultimate status that was second only to that of a Dao Child!
Even now, he still found it hard to believe. Without a doubt, as a disciple who had experienced the glory days of the Vast Expanse Dao Palace, he knew very well that within the Vast Expanse Dao Palace, a core disciple already held an extremely high status. There were only a few personal disciples who held a higher status than a core disciple on a planet.
As for an adopted disciple … that was already a legendary figure within the sect. Any one of them was extremely important and wasn't at a level that he could come into contact with. He still remembered that as a follower, he had once followed a personal disciple. In front of an adopted disciple, he was as lowly as a mortal facing a cultivator!
It was because of this inherent impression that Annihilator felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He stood there in a daze.
Feng Qiuran was the same. However, she was different from Annihilator. Feng Qiuran had seen the purple token several times in her life. That was because her family's Laozu was an adopted disciple of the Vast Expanse Dao Palace!
It was also because Laozu's status was an adopted disciple that Feng Qiuran was shocked beyond words. She was even more shocked than Annihilator. She even instinctively wanted to greet him.
All of this stunned even Wang Baole. Although he knew that an adopted disciple's status was very high, he still regretted that he hadn't passed the final palace and obtained the status of a Dao Child. Therefore, when he took it out, he felt that it wouldn't be a problem to settle Sun Hai's matter.
However, he had never imagined that the violet command medallion would cause the hyacinth tree to sway, the spell formation to rumble, and the ancient bronze sword to tremble. Furthermore, from the looks on the faces of Annihilator and Feng Qiuran's faces, it seemed as if they were about to offer formal greetings.
All of this caused Wang Baole to gasp. However, he quickly forced himself to calm down. After blinking a few times, Wang Baole raised the command medallion high and said calmly, "Alright.
"Elder Annihilator, I want to know if Sun Hai is an inner disciple, a core disciple, or an outer disciple?"
Wang Baole's voice was calm. Before, his words wouldn't have carried enough weight, but now that he was an adopted disciple, each and every word he spoke carried a completely different weight!
Annihilator opened his mouth, wanting to say something. However, other than bitterness, there was nothing else he could say. The one who answered Wang Baole was Feng Qiuran.
Feng Qiuran forcefully suppressed his trembling heart and instinctively cupped his fists towards Wang Baole.
"Sun Hai is not a true disciple of the Dao Palace. He has never obtained an identity in the Dao Palace …"
"No?" Wang Baole nodded. In the next instant, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Since he doesn't have an identity, he is just a servant. How dare such a servant provoke me? At the same time, he dared to refine the Natal Sacred Beast of my adopted disciple without permission? This is treason, this is insubordination! Elder Annihilator, tell me, how should I be punished for this matter? " Wang Baole's tone was overbearing and domineering. As he spoke, he turned the situation around, causing the hearts of the onlookers to tremble.
That was especially true of the Yuanying cultivators who had sensed the abnormality in the area. When they arrived and heard what was said, their expressions changed. When they looked at Wang Baole, their gazes and attitudes changed.
Truly … the status of an adopted disciple was too high!
Even Sun Hai, who had been taken away by Annihilator, was trembling in fear. Even though he was in Yuanying form, he felt an intense sense of danger. He was so anxious that he was about to go crazy. He could never have imagined that his greed would not only cause him to lose his fleshly body, but that he would be charged with a major crime.
"How could he be an adopted disciple? Dammit, this is impossible!!"
As Sun Hai trembled, he hurriedly sent a voice transmission to Annihilator to plead. Annihilator's expression changed as well. He was shocked, confused, and hesitant. Without a doubt, Wang Baole's identity had completely stunned him.
Even though Wang Baole was only in the Core Formation realm, Annihilator was well aware of who was more important in the Vast Expanse Dao Palace. Even though the real Dao Palace had been destroyed, he knew that the Laozu were still alive. They were just sleeping in the sword tip and would awaken sooner or later.
All of this made Annihilator feel very conflicted. He fell silent.
Wang Baole didn't rush him. He coughed and turned to walk towards the cauldron. As he approached, the cultivators nearby didn't dare to stop him. They all retreated, allowing Wang Baole to reach the cauldron. He raised his right hand and waved it. A crack appeared on the cauldron, and it exploded.
As the cauldron exploded, the donkey's figure dashed out from within. It looked very haggard. Most of its fur was charred, and it seemed to be in low spirits. However, Wang Baole could sense that the donkey had only suffered superficial injuries. It wasn't a big deal.
However, when it saw Wang Baole, it was clearly agitated. Just as it was about to bray, Wang Baole glared at it. It immediately lowered its head and looked like it was in the wrong. It rubbed against Wang Baole's thigh as if it was trying to get on his good side.
"How did I raise a glutton like you?!" Wang Baole said angrily. He was an adopted disciple, the most handsome man in the Federation. How could he have such a glutton by his side? It didn't match the impression he gave off. Therefore, just as he was about to kick the donkey, Annihilator noticed that the donkey was fine. He spoke slowly in a hoarse voice.
"Wang …" Annihilator only managed to say one word. He didn't know how to address Wang Baole. Therefore, after a pause, he decided not to think about it anymore.
"Wang Baole, this matter is indeed Sun Hai's fault. I'll have him apologize to you right now." With that, Annihilator waved his right hand. Sun Hai's Yuanying flew out miserably. He hurriedly bowed to Wang Baole in mid-air. There was a pleading look on his face as he apologized profusely.
"Elder Wang, please be magnanimous. I didn't know your identity. Please forgive me if I've offended you …"
After hearing Sun Hai's apology, Annihilator didn't feel too good about it. However, Wang Baole's identity was too high. Furthermore, he was in the right. He could only ask Sun Hai to apologize in an attempt to minimize the matter.
After a moment of silence, Feng Qiuran looked at Wang Baole. Even though she wasn't in the same faction as Annihilator, Sun Hai was still the Yuanying of the Vast Expanse Dao Palace. If Wang Baole insisted on punishing Sun Hai, Feng Qiuran would hesitate.
Wang Baole saw all of this. He knew very well that it wasn't impossible to kill Sun Hai. However, it would take some effort. It was much easier to find an opportunity to kill Sun Hai secretly.
However, he naturally wouldn't agree to let Sun Hai go just like that. Therefore, he thought for a moment and spoke slowly.
"My intrinsic sacred beast, after experiencing such an unexpected calamity, will …" Sun Hai understood what Wang Baole was trying to say even before he could finish his sentence. He hurriedly shouted.
"Elder Wang, I'm willing to compensate … fifty thousand battle credits!" At the mention of fifty thousand battle credits, Sun Hai's heart bled. However, it was obvious that he couldn't not compensate.
Wang Baole rolled his eyes and continued speaking.
"It will be overly frightened, resulting in a flaw in its soul. This will cause it to be unable to make any breakthroughs in its cultivation in the future!"
After Wang Baole finished speaking, he gave the donkey a look. The donkey blinked and immediately shrieked. It sprawled on the ground, foaming at the mouth. Its limbs twitched, and it looked like it was on the verge of death.
Feng Qiuran smiled wryly. Annihilator simply turned away and didn't bother to look. As for the Yuanying around them, they all had strange expressions on their faces. Sun Hai was also dumbfounded. He felt like his heart was no longer dripping blood, but vomiting blood. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "One hundred thousand!
I'll compensate you with one hundred thousand! "
At this point, the donkey shrieked and spat out a large mouthful of blood …
"One hundred and fifty thousand …" Sun Hai was really on the verge of tears. His voice trembled. This was all he had accumulated up to this point.
"One hundred and fifty thousand battle credits. Send them over in three days. However … Sun Hai, since this is your first offense, I can let it go this time. However, if you offend me again …" Wang Baole didn't finish his sentence. He only looked at Sun Hai deeply. Murderous intent flashed in his eyes. After cupping his fists at Feng Qiuran, he put away his adopted disciple token and turned to leave amidst the silent and conflicted expressions of the crowd.
The donkey hurriedly jumped up and stopped spitting out blood. It followed behind Wang Baole and followed him into the distance. From time to time, the donkey's happy cries could be heard. When the cries reached the ears of the crowd, they looked at Wang Baole's back. Almost all of them had the same thought.
"In the future, the Vast Expanse Dao Palace … may have a fourth Grand Supreme Elder. Even if this Grand Supreme Elder is only at the Core Formation realm!"
