A World Worth Protecting

Chapter 285: I’m His God-Grandfather!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

While Federation President Duan Muque, Senator Li Qidao, as well as the elites from the various factions, were handling the rebellion by the Five Generation Sky Clan and Galactic Dusk Sect in the Mystic Luna Realm, the disciples from the four Dao Colleges who had been through the Mystic Luna Realm assessment were all gathered at the base of the Dao College and undergoing interrogation.

Everyone was included in the list to be interrogated, except for one person!

That person was... Wang Baole!

From the beginning until now, no one disturbed or asked him about what had happened in the mystic realm.

However, one prominent point was that the hut residence that Wang Baole was staying in was different from that of other people. It had more privacy and was more luxurious, as it was originally a resting place prepared for the Elder.

At the same time, regardless of whether it was the disciples from the four Dao Colleges who had been through the mystic realm assessment, or the Dao College Foundation Establishment cultivators that had arrived on the Mystic Luna Realm from Earth, they all looked at Wang Baole oddly in the three days that passed. Many of them even took more than a single glance, and in the depths of their vision hid a sense of reverence and fear!

Apparently, what Wang Baole had experienced in the mystic realm and the killings that happened thereafter were no longer a secret. Everyone had heard about how he had obtained the perfect object before it was cruelly dug away by a Core Formation realm cultivator, which in the process destroyed his Dao Foundation. They also heard that he had managed to reach Foundation Establishment stage, and stained the mystic realm red with his killings of innumerable Foundation Establishment realm cultivators.

He wasn’t simply an ordinary disciple, but the Deputy Pavilion Head of the Dharmic Armament Pavilion who was already well-known while he was in Ethereal Dao College. He was also one of the Federation seedlings. With such an illustrious battle history, it was natural that he would catch the attention of many.

Wang Baole kept all that in mind and didn’t say anything nor head out. He stayed quietly in his hut residence, waiting for the chaotic rebellion outside to end, and for the four Dao Colleges to give him an explanation.

After all, he was no ordinary disciple of the four Dao Colleges. He was the Deputy Pavilion Head of the Dharmic Armament Pavilion, and even though the incident in the Mystic Luna Realm didn’t have much of an impact on others, it had affected him greatly, far exceeding what he had experienced before!

Just like that, two days went by. On the second night, a pursuit was taking place in the forest on the dark side of the Mystic Luna Realm. The one escaping was the old lady who had dug out Wang Baole’s Dao Foundation!

The old lady’s face was pale white, her hair in a mess and unkempt. As she ran, blood spewed out of her mouth. She looked lifeless, with fear apparent in her eyes as she swiftly turned and spoke to someone behind her.

“Fellow Daoist Li, listen to my explanation...”

“To hell with your explanation!” Even before she could finish, an angry roar emerged from behind her, as a figure leaped out, instantly catching up with the old lady while raining punches on her.

A loud boom reverberated. The old lady wanted to resist the attacks, but her attempts were futile. The punch that landed on her caused her to spew even more blood. She hurriedly retreated, but the figure immediately arrived in front of her.

It was a silver-haired elder, carrying a look of anger that could burn down the skies. Madness erupted from the elder’s body, making him like a walking volcano that was extremely eye-catching in the dark night.

Every part of the forest he passed burned, and the ground was charred black by the heat. The suppressive force emerging from his body raged unusually. It was such an imposing force that the old lady was completely unable to resist it, screaming while vomiting fresh blood out once again.

“Fellow Daoist Li, there should be a limit to all this. All I did was destroy his Dao Foundation. You have pursued me for two days, and based on your level of cultivation, you could have killed me right away. What is the point of torturing me? I am also a Core Formation cultivator, and I have my dignity! Wang Baole is merely one of the disciples from your Dao College!”

The old lady had become a maniac, and she screamed angrily like a lunatic. The past two days had been a nightmare for her. As she said, the ex-Federation President pursued and tortured her all the way, even purposely letting her escape before getting hot on her heels again.

This made her completely exhausted, draining her of all her energy and putting her in a living hell.

“That’s all you can take? Why didn’t you feel this way when you were after Wang Baole? You didn’t choose to bully anyone else, but Wang Baole, who has no direct relatives who are Core Formation cultivators? Is that why you were so cruel and ruthless to him, treating him like a toy?” The Grand Supreme Elder from Ethereal Dao College appeared amiable with his head full of silver hair. However, those who knew him knew that he was extremely hot-tempered.

He stared as he neared, raising his right hand. The old lady widened her eyes, as the Grand Supreme Elder perforated her flesh in one swift motion, reaching into the old lady’s stomach!

An indescribable pain erupted like crashing waves in the old lady’s mind, flooding and overcoming her instantly as she let out a shrill, painful scream.

“You b*itch, let me tell you something. Wang Baole indeed has no direct relatives who are Core Formation cultivators, but I like that chap. I am his god-grandfather, and you’ll get it from me if you were to bully him!” The Grand Supreme Elder announced while gripping the Core Formation in the old lady’s stomach tightly. As he yanked it hard, the old lady’s painful screams reverberated in all directions.

As blood spewed out of her mouth, the already haggard old lady seemed to have aged even more. She trembled, turning pale. The pain of having her Core Formation plucked away from within her body far exceeded that of one’s Dao Foundation being taken away. It was no longer on the level of an organ. Instead, it was like taking her life away!

“Don’t worry. You won’t die from this. I would never let you die so easily. After all, death is only short-lived pain. I will turn you into a warning for others!” A chilly look flashed across the Grand Supreme Elder’s eyes, as he squatted down before the trembling old lady, slapping her face while enunciating every single word clearly.

“This is your retribution for bullying our Baole!

“Go, continue to run. If you don’t, I’ll bring you back and lock you in Venus’s Poisonous Spirit Cellar. You know that place... It’s very suitable for you.”

Hearing the term ‘Poisonous Spirit Cellar’, the old lady who was drifting out of consciousness from her pain suddenly jolted awake. She suddenly shivered, carrying a look of fear in her eyes that was far more intense than before. She wanted to kill herself but was unable to do so as she had been made handicap and weak. Therefore, she decided to commit suicide by biting her tongue. However, before she could do that, the Grand Supreme Elder stepped heavily on her chest, and as a heavy puff of air emerged, it blew away all her teeth.

“It’s still not time for you to die. If you dare to die, I will extract your spirit and turn it into a chamber pot Numinous Treasure before tossing it in the restroom of the Dao College!” The Grand Supreme Elder spoke calmly while staring at the old lady, whose wrinkled face revealed extreme fear.

“You...” The old lady stared with her eyes wide, wanting to say something before the Grand Supreme Elder slapped her tightly.

“Shut up!”

It was a tight slap that almost broke the old lady’s neck. The old lady was in so much pain that she fainted immediately.

The Grand Supreme Elder hummed unhappily, before turning around and grabbing the old lady by her hair.

Following the capture of the old lady, the third day arrived. In his hut residence inside the base of the four Dao Colleges, Wang Baole was meditating with his legs crossed. He suddenly opened his eyes, looking at the door of his room.

Outside, someone had arrived, without making any attempts to mask their breathing and footsteps. When the visitor neared, he stayed silent for a while, before speaking with a raspy voice.

“Baole.”

Wang Baole recognized the voice as belonging to the Sect Lord of Ethereal Dao College. He then stood up to open the door, greeting the Sect Lord standing outside with cupped fists.

“Greetings, Sect Lord.”

The Sect Lord from Ethereal Dao College looked at Wang Baole with a complex expression. After the investigations regarding the Mystic Luna Realm were conducted over the past few days, everyone, regardless of whether it was the four Dao Colleges, the Federation President, or the other factions, were completely shaken by the revenge killings carried out by Wang Baole.

They felt especially shocked at the invention of the Mystic Trace Beads, which were never before seen. What Wang Baole had experienced was also shocking to everyone who heard about it. Wang Baole’s reaction towards whatever had happened to him in the mystic realm evoked more emotions in the masses than before.

“You’ve had a hard time.” The complex look in the Ethereal Dao College Sect Lord’s eyes was replaced by an apologetic one. After entering the residence hut, he sought the agreement of Wang Baole before pressing on his wrist to assess his internal injuries, as well as his wellbeing.

When he noticed the pill bottle resting on Wang Baole’s dantian, an unsurprised look surfaced in Ethereal Dao College Sect Lord’s eyes. However, he still felt somewhat incredulous. After taking another close look at it, he tuned down his cultivation before looking at Wang Baole again.

“This is the second perfect item that I have obtained.” Wang Baole guessed what the Sect Lord would ask him and replied calmly without any unusual facial expressions.

The Ethereal Dao College Sect Lord looked deeply into Wang Baole’s eyes without probing further. It was the principle of the four Dao Colleges to not question excessively in issues regarding their disciples’ fates. After all, everyone had secrets, and the more they were questioned, the more likely the disciples would lose faith and integrity. That was especially so for Wang Baole, who had experienced a series of events. He could see that Wang Baole’s attitude had become vastly different from before he entered the mystic realm.

He understood the situation and sincerely wanted to rectify it. Therefore, he took out a box from the storage bag, placing it in front of Wang Baole before opening it up.

A bloody flesh pill was revealed!

When the box was opened, and the flesh pill was revealed, a thick cloud of Spirit Qi instantly emerged, carrying a pungent smell of blood.

Wang Baole was thrown into a daze, and as he turned to look, he seemed to have guessed the box’s contents. He raised his head and looked at the Ethereal Dao College Sect Lord.

“Baole, you know what is to be known. I will not say anything unnecessary. All you need to know is that now, the White Deer Dao College leads the four Dao Colleges... As for your matter, regardless of whether it’s the Grand Supreme Elder or me, we share the same consensus, and that is... We will not let it rest!

“Wu Tianlan from the Galactic Dusk Sect dug away your Dao Foundation. Therefore, the Grand Supreme Elder will personally dig her Core Formation out!

“A simple outcome like death would naturally not be easily available as an option to her. Therefore, the Grand Supreme Elder will send her to the Poisonous Spirit Cellar of Venus, which is one of the worst prisons of the Federation. There, she will have to repent and refine poisonous gold for Ethereal Dao College for the rest of her life!”

“Are you satisfied with this punishment?” The Ethereal Dao College Sect Lord looked at Wang Baole, speaking calmly.

Wang Baole was shocked, his breathing growing rapid and his eyes turning red. An indescribable feeling emerged in his mind. All the grudges he held towards the sect vanished instantly, and all that remained was the surprise of someone standing up for him.

After a long while, he stood up, bowing deeply to the Sect Lord.

“Thank you so much, Sect Lord!”
