The sky was already dark, and the entire sky was no longer blue. It had turned into a starry sky, like a huge screen decorated with countless stars that enveloped the entire world.
Under this starry sky, an airship sped away. There was a protective shield on the airship that emitted a faint light. It flashed in the night sky, as if there was some kind of fluctuation.
At this moment, other than Wang Baole and the black-clothed middle-aged man that he had captured alive, there were many more people on the airship. They were the passengers that had traveled with Wang Baole previously.
The cruiser heading to Ethereal City had been attacked and fixed in mid-air. Communication had also been blocked, so they had been trapped there. It was only when Wang Baole had returned that they had been brought to the cruiser they were now on.
In the airship, everyone was in awe of Wang Baole's solo return. They could imagine that someone who could be hunted down by so many Pulse Enrichment experts was definitely not an ordinary person. Under this pursuit, he had first inconceivably jumped off the airship alone, and now, he had successfully returned. Furthermore, there was a strong bloody aura on his body.
The answer that this aura represented, as well as the near-death appearance of the black-clothed middle-aged man that Wang Baole had captured alive, made everyone tremble in fear. When they looked at Wang Baole, they became extremely respectful, not daring to ask or provoke him.
Wang Baole did not pay attention to the reactions of the crowd. At this moment, he was wearing a tattered Head Prefect robe that was stained with blood. He sat in an independent room in the airship and looked out the window in the direction of the Pond Cloud Rainforest. After a long time, he retracted his gaze.
Even though two days had passed, Wang Baole still felt like he was in a dream when he recalled the massacre and the scene in the Five Fingers Mountain ruins.
"Her mask, and the sword in her hand …" Wang Baole muttered as he looked at the dark night sky.
"Is it really the … ancient sword that pierced into the sun? But the size is not the same." Wang Baole let out a long sigh. After burying this matter in the bottom of his heart, he thought of the near-death pursuit and a cold light gradually appeared in his eyes.
"Lin Tianhao!" Wang Baole narrowed his eyes. Not only did he feel uneasy about this matter, but he was also worried about his family. In fact, when Wang Baole left the Pond Cloud Rainforest two days ago, he contacted his parents immediately. After knowing that their lives were not disturbed, Wang Baole was relieved. At this moment, his eyes were even gloomier.
I'm the only Head Prefect of the Dharmic Armament faculty. Even with my status, there are people after my life. If they set their sights on my family … At that thought, Wang Baole felt a chill run down his spine as he clenched his fists.
"I'm seventy percent sure that the mastermind is Lin Tianhao!"
"This person's father is an important figure …. First, I need to figure out who his father is …."
"However, his father's identity must be extraordinary. Otherwise, the Vice-Chancellor would not lower himself to collude with his son …. Looking at it this way, the possibility of immediate revenge is not high." At this thought, Wang Baole narrowed his eyes and sat there in deep thought. He considered how to solve the problem to the greatest extent based on the current foundation.
Time passed, and in the next few days, the cruiser didn't encounter too much danger. With the protective light screen, even if they did encounter some ferocious beasts, they were successfully resolved. Even though the people on the cruiser were no longer as nervous as they had been in the beginning, they still looked at Wang Baole with reverence.
Finally, after some consideration by Wang Baole, the cruiser did not fly to Ethereal City. Instead, it landed directly on the Lower Academy Island of Ethereal Dao College.
The people on the cruiser did not have any objections to this. After cupping their fists gratefully to Wang Baole, they quickly left and headed to Ethereal City.
After watching them leave, Wang Baole turned his head and looked at the familiar Dao College. He took a deep breath, grabbed the middle-aged man in black, and headed straight for the Chancellor's peak.
As school had not officially started, there were not many students, and only a few could be seen occasionally. However, Wang Baole's reputation on the Lower Academy Island was too great. Even though only a few students remained in the Dao College, they quickly noticed Wang Baole. When they saw Wang Baole's blood-stained clothes, all of them widened their eyes in shock.
"That is … Wang Baole?"
"What's going on? His clothes are covered in blood, and they're torn in many places!"
Amidst the shock of the crowd, Wang Baole was expressionless. He did not dress like that on purpose. It was true that he did not have any other clothes. At this moment, he was grabbing the pale-faced middle-aged man in black, who had a look of despair on his face. Before the students he met along the way could spread the news of his return, Wang Baole had already stepped onto the Chancellor's peak!
Under the shocked gazes of the Chancellor's peak's attendants, Wang Baole directly arrived at the main hall of the Chancellor's peak. He cupped his fists and spoke loudly.
"Disciple Wang Baole, who has narrowly escaped death, seeks an audience with the Chancellor!"
His voice was very loud and spread in all directions. In the main hall in front of him, the Chancellor was meditating with his legs crossed. The moment Wang Baole spoke, he suddenly opened his eyes. After hearing Wang Baole's words clearly, the Chancellor's gaze froze, and he raised his right hand and swung it forward.
Immediately, the door to the main hall opened slowly. As the door opened, sunlight streamed in, and Wang Baole's figure, dressed in a tattered blood-red robe, appeared clearly before the Chancellor.
After seeing Wang Baole's clothes, the Chancellor's expression changed and he stood up abruptly.
"What happened?!"
Wang Baole stood outside the main hall and looked at the Chancellor. After a long time, he closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he stepped into the main hall and threw the black-robed middle-aged man to the side. He took out his sound transmission ring and displayed the news that the Dao College had ordered him to return early.
After seeing the news in Wang Baole's sound transmission ring, the Chancellor's expression instantly darkened. He looked at the black-robed man that Wang Baole had thrown to the side and immediately walked over to the black-robed middle-aged man.
"I …" The black-robed middle-aged man was already trembling uncontrollably. He wanted to beg for mercy, but before he could say anything, the Chancellor, whose expression was dark and whose eyes were filled with towering rage, slammed his palm down on the black-robed middle-aged man's head.
It wasn't a killing move, but a move that Wang Baole didn't understand. After dispersing the black-robed man's consciousness, the ring on the Chancellor's finger flashed and transformed into a spike that pierced into the black-robed middle-aged man's head. As the black-robed man trembled and convulsed, it seemed that the Chancellor was using the ring's Numinous Treasure to forcibly search his memories.
Wang Baole took a deep breath when he saw this scene. He didn't say anything and just watched silently.
After a long time, when the Chancellor raised his hand and retracted the spike that had pierced into the black-robed middle-aged man's head, the black-robed middle-aged man trembled and fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth and convulsing non-stop.
However, the Chancellor didn't even look at his wretched state. At this moment, the Chancellor of Ethereal Dao College's Lower Academy Island seemed to be forcefully controlling his emotions. The fury in his eyes seemed to be on the verge of breaking down.
"I will give you an explanation for this matter!"
"Thank you, Chancellor!" This was the second sentence that Wang Baole said from the start to the end. After he finished speaking, he cupped his fists again and turned to leave.
After he left, the Chancellor's expression was still ugly. After a long while, he snorted coldly.
"Investigate this matter thoroughly and see if there is any falsehood in it!"
The moment he spoke, the void behind him distorted, and an old and hoarse voice sounded.
"Understood!"
After returning to his cave abode, Wang Baole didn't go out. Instead, he waited for the outcome of this matter. He was very clear about his status in Ethereal Dao College. He could tell that this matter wasn't a small matter for Ethereal Dao College. However, he was even more clear about Lin Tianhao's background. Although he didn't know the details, the influence of his background on this matter made it difficult for him to make a decision.
As he waited, two days passed. Within the Chancellor's peak, the Chancellor, who was waiting for the outcome of the investigation, stood at the peak of the mountain. He looked at the bright moon in the sky and listened to the hoarse voice behind him.
"Chancellor, the investigation has been completed. I even personally made a trip to the Pond Cloud Rainforest to check the scene and the corpses of those people … There were a total of twenty-seven people who acted this time. They were mercenaries disguised as space pirates. They were all in the Pulse Enrichment realm. Two of them were at the peak of the Pulse Enrichment realm, and one of them … was at the half-step True Breath realm! I also found the cruiser that escaped, but unfortunately, it has been silenced. "
Even though he knew this from the memories of the man in black, the Chancellor still couldn't help but be shocked after confirming this matter. He turned to look behind him.
"Was it really Wang Baole alone who acted?" "That should be right.
It was indeed him alone. I also verified it through the passengers and checked the corpses. Most of them were killed in one blow, and many of them were killed by Dharma artifacts. There were also many fragments and traces of self-destruction of Dharma artifacts … As for the cruiser, it was also destroyed by flying beasts. There is nothing strange about this. After all, that was the Pond Cloud Rainforest. From all this, it can be seen that this battle was very dangerous and extremely difficult.
"Wang Baole must have used up all his Dharma treasures and used all the Dharmic Armament knowledge he learned in the Dao College to the maximum. Perhaps he also had some secret techniques. But no matter what, this murder … is real. The real culprit is Lin Tianhao and the rest. Furthermore, it was instigated by Cao Kun and Jiang Lin!" A hoarse voice came from beside the Chancellor. Even this person had a sense of disbelief when he said these words.
"Secrets … Everyone has secrets. This is not a problem … Lin Tianhao, you are too bold. You dare to challenge the bottom line of the four major Dao Colleges!" After a moment of silence, the Chancellor turned around and headed straight for the Upper Academy Island!
Obviously, this matter involved Lin Tianhao and the Dao College's bottom line. It needed to be reported to the Upper Academy Island of the Ethereal Dao College for judgment!
From the beginning to the end, they didn't mention the mosquito. Obviously, they didn't know anything about the sharp-mouthed, monkey-cheeked youth from the memories of the middle-aged man in black. It was as if none of this had happened. In a strange way, it was quietly erased …
Two days passed quickly. There were still a few days before school reopened. The investigation and handling of this matter was finally out. Almost immediately, Wang Baole received the Chancellor's notice.
After seeing the news and handling of the matter in the notice, even though Wang Baole had made many guesses before, he was still shocked by the results.
"The bottom line is not to be touched lightly! The safety of you and your family members is not to be worried. With the Ethereal Dao College as the guarantor, let's see who dares to make a move. So what if it's a senator! "This was the last sentence of the Chancellor's notice.
Wang Baole's breathing quickened. After a moment, his eyes shone brightly. He was extremely excited. The Dao College's choice made him suddenly feel that this … was the Dao College that he could trust!
