"My sons, Daddy is here!" Wang Baole coughed. With a flick of his body, he disappeared from the secret chamber in the next moment. When he reappeared, he was already in the heavens outside. With a single step, he stepped into the atmosphere. His silhouette also transformed into Zhuo Yixian's appearance in the process.
Although this disguise didn't work when he robbed the Thousand Spirit Sect's battleship, Wang Baole had read the high officials' autobiographies and remembered that there was a line in it. It said that cultivating a good habit could effectively prevent one's personality and behavior from becoming careless.
"There are still many people in the Divine Eye Star System who can threaten me … So when it comes to robbing, the fog figure is my first layer of cover. Once I'm exposed, the appearance of Zhuo Yixian will be my second layer of disguise."
Wang Baole touched his face and felt that he couldn't be too careful. Therefore, while maintaining the appearance of Zhuo Yixian in the core, his body transformed into a black fog. He shuttled rapidly through the atmosphere and soon reached the edge of the upper layer. He found a place to hide and looked out into space, observing the battleships entering and leaving. At the same time, he released the donkey.
Wang Baole threw the donkey a piece of leftover material from the Thousand Spirit Sect's battleship. He stuffed the donkey's mouth and smiled.
"Son, the old rules!"
After eating the leftover material, the donkey's eyes lit up and it licked its lips. It seemed to be savoring the taste in its mouth and in its memories. Then, it lifted its head energetically. Its eyes were like the divine senses of an Almighty. With its strong instinct for food, it quickly scanned the battleships.
"It's a pity that the Thousand Spirit Sect is such a coward. They actually announced that their battleships are temporarily not going out. Shouldn't they set up a trap and use a battleship filled with precious resources to lure the enemy out?" Wang Baole sighed. He felt very regretful. As an elder of the Holy Crest Sect, he didn't know everything about the Thousand Spirit Sect's actions. However, he had a rough idea. He knew that Gongsun Hou of the Thousand Spirit Sect had given the order not to leave the star system for a year.
"I don't understand what the Thousand Spirit Sect is thinking." Wang Baole shook his head. Just as he was about to analyze the Thousand Spirit Sect's actions, the donkey suddenly trembled and brayed at Wang Baole.
Wang Baole perked up. He raised his head hurriedly and looked in the direction the donkey was pointing. His eyes shone, and he licked his lips. After staring for a while, he put the donkey away. With a flick of his body, he transformed into a black mist again and disappeared on the spot.
Not long after, a battleship from the Water Refinement Faction, which had just returned from an expedition, charged into the atmosphere amidst the reverberating roars of its engines.
.. Although the Thousand Spirit Sect, the Thousand Spirit Sect, of course, the Thousand Spirit Sect's battleship...................... and............. and............. in the Thousand Spirit Sect,.......
It wasn't long before everyone on the Water Refinement Sect's battleship heard the same eerie words that the cultivators from the Myriad Spirit Sect had heard before.
"Don't move. It's a robbery!"
After the time it takes an incense stick to burn, the Water Refinement Sect's Grand Supreme Elder hurried to a valley in the suburbs. When they saw the heavily damaged battleship, the Water Refinement Sect's Grand Supreme Elder exploded.
When they saw that the battleship had lost about forty to fifty percent of its internal components, they learned that although the disciples of their sect were unharmed, all of their loot had been stolen. The female Water Refinement Sect Grand Supreme Elder nearly coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"Investigate!" She cried. "Even if we have to offer a reward, we have to find this bastard! I'm going to rip him to shreds!!"
The Water Refinement Sect Grand Supreme Elder's frenzy caused the entire sect to erupt into a frenzy. Just like the Thousand Spirit Sect, the Water Refinement Sect was one of the largest sects in the fifth ring. The Water Refinement Sect had tens of thousands of disciples, and as they spread out to search, word quickly spread.
Because there had been two robberies in a short span of a few months, the news spread like wildfire. When all the sects heard about it, they were all shocked and shocked!
If it had only been the Thousand Spirit Sect, it wouldn't have been a big deal. But now, the Water Refinement Sect was involved as well. This couldn't be explained by an internal leak. It was a serial robbery!
Any incident that involved the word "serial robbery" would have a huge impact. In an instant, many sects on the main planet of the Divine Eye Sect felt threatened. They became even more vigilant and guarded their battleships with all their might.
But while the other sects were shocked, the disciples of the Thousand Spirit Sect were overjoyed. Gongsun Hou, in particular, laughed heartily. He hadn't announced the details of the robbery for two reasons. One was to save face, and the other was because he had learned about the robber's actions and imitated the robber's actions. After that, he realized how difficult the robber was to deal with. At the same time, he had another goal.
"Didn't they say that the Thousand Spirit Sect was a galactic pirate who got robbed? The Water Refinement Sect was so happy before, but now they're just as dumbfounded."
Just like that, with the Thousand Spirit Sect gloating over their misfortune, the Water Refinement Sect continued their search for the culprit for half a month. They didn't find any clues, even after offering a handsome reward. Then, another shocking robbery occurred!
This time, it wasn't the sects in the fifth ring that were robbed, but the sects in the sixth, seventh, and eighth rings!
In a single night, in just two hours, seventeen battleships in the sixth to eighth rings were robbed. The robber wasn't after the resources, but the spare parts of the battleships!
When the news broke, the entire Divine Eye main planet was in an uproar. The Grand Supreme Elder of the Water Refinement Sect was especially shocked by the mysterious robber's actions. After a moment of silence, the Grand Supreme Elder contacted his old rival, Gongsun Hou of the Thousand Spirit Sect. No one knew how the two of them communicated, but the next day, the two sects jointly called upon all the sects in the fifth to eighth rings to conduct a joint search. They swore to find the ruthless and shameless robber!
This grand bandit extermination was like a storm that kept erupting in the fifth to eighth rings. However, even now, the three Greater Sects in the second, third, and fourth rings didn't pay any attention to it. The difference between their levels made it seem like a bunch of children throwing a tantrum.
At the same time, the massive search didn't achieve the desired results. In fact, during the search, seven or eight battleships belonging to the Sects in the Sixth Mountain Ring were robbed. Even worse, there were murders, and the battleships were no longer just missing parts like before. Instead, all of them disappeared!
This caused an even greater uproar. Condemnation and murderous intent toward the robber continued to spread throughout the various sects. When Wang Baole heard about this, he was enraged.
"Damn it! Who's trying to smear my reputation?!" Wang Baole wasn't happy. In fact, his last business transaction was the seventeen battleships. He hadn't done anything else. It was obvious … that someone who could have stolen an entire battleship couldn't have been a single person. It was very likely that a sect had done it.
Others might just be speculating, but Wang Baole was absolutely certain that a sect had taken advantage of the situation to fish in troubled waters.
Wang Baole couldn't be bothered to analyze or guess which sect had done it. His eyes flashed coldly, and he already had an idea.
"You have the guts to smear my reputation? I wonder if you have the courage to face the consequences!" Wang Baole narrowed his eyes and hid the cold glint in them. He dashed out, and with his essence technique, he soared into the heavens without anyone noticing. He was prepared to do something big. On the one hand, he was only a little short of the resources he needed. Therefore, he could stop after completing this mission.
For another, the reason he was going to do something big was to stir up a storm and attract the attention of the Exalted Sects. Then they would investigate.
Wang Baole was skilled and daring, and also had his Essence magic to conceal himself. Therefore, he wasn't afraid of being investigated. However, the sects who had smeared his reputation … were different. If they were found out, the fury of the Exalted Sects, as well as the enmity of all the other sects who had been robbed, would cause them to swear that they had only robbed the battleships once.
After all … it didn't seem important who had done it, but it didn't. What was important was that in this locust-like world, where plunder was the basis of civilization, having someone willing to compensate was more than enough.
Therefore, when the time came, even if there were people who understood the situation, they would choose to remain silent.
"Who's smearing whose reputation?" Wang Baole sneered. He turned into mist and sped through the atmosphere.
