70 How Can the Bottom Line Be So Easily Breached? (2/2)

Wang Baole stood outside the main hall, looking at the Chancellor. After a long while, he closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, he stepped into the main hall, flinging the middle-aged man in black aside before retrieving his voice transmission ring. He played the command sent out by the Dao College that prompted him to return quickly.

Hearing the message stored in Wang Baole's voice transmission ring, the Chancellor turned solemn. Looking at the man in black flung aside by Wang Baole, he stepped out right away, directly toward the man in black.

”I…” The middle-aged man in black was shaking violently. He had wanted to beg for forgiveness, but before he could say anything, the Chancellor, who carried a gloomy expression that expressed his intense anger, threw a tight slap onto one of his acupuncture points.

He did not kill him but was using a method that Wang Baole did not comprehend to disrupt the man in black's consciousness. The Chancellor's ring shone brightly and transformed into a sharp pin that pierced into the middle-aged man in black's acupuncture point. The man in black convulsed in cramps, his memories being forcefully searched under the influence of the Chancellor's numinous treasure.

Wang Baole drew a breath watching this scene. He did not speak, merely observing silently.

Before long, as the Chancellor retracted his palm and the pin, the middle-aged man in black shivered and immediately collapsed, white foam spewing from his mouth as he convulsed uncontrollably.

He was pitiful and miserable, but all that meant nothing in the eyes of the Chancellor. At this very moment, the Chancellor of Ethereal Dao College's Lower Academy Island seemed to be forcefully suppressing his emotions, but the fury in his eyes appear to be overwhelming him.

”I will give you an explanation for all that has happened!” the Chancellor said.

”Thank you, Chancellor!” This was the second sentence that Wang Baole had spoken so far. After that, he cupped his fists again before turning to leave.

After he left, the Chancellor's expression remained awful. He let out a long, heavy sigh.

”Investigate the truth of this matter!” he ordered.

The instant he finished his sentence, an old, croaky voice spread from behind him.

”Yes, sir!”

Wang Baole did not head out after returning to the Cave Abode. Instead, he waited to hear of the matter's conclusion. He understood his status in Ethereal Dao College and could infer that the matter was not trivial to Ethereal Dao College. He was even more clear of Lin Tianhao's background. Even though he did not know the specifics, the impact of Lin Tianhao's background on this matter was something that he could not put his finger on.

Two days of waiting came and went. At the Chancellor's peak, the Chancellor was standing at the top of the mountain, looking at the bright moon in the night sky while listening to the hoarse voice coming from being him.

”Chancellor, the matter has been thoroughly investigated. I even went on a trip to the Pond Cloud Rainforest. After searching the scene and studying the bodies found, the conclusion was that there was a total of twenty-seven individuals involved, all of whom were recruited to impersonate sky pirates. The group included two peak Pulse Enrichment Realm experts, and there was one at the half-step True Breath Realm! As for the aircraft that escaped, it has also been found, but regrettably, it has been destroyed.”

The Chancellor had already known of this matter from the man in black's memories, but he was still appalled now that he had gained confirmation of the matter. He turned to look at the individual behind him.

”Did Wang Baole really single-handedly fight all the attackers head on?”

”That is most likely right. He was the only one, and I have verified this with the rest of the people on-board the aircraft. I also checked the corpses and found that most of them died after a single blow. Many were killed by Dharmic artifacts, and there were many traces of Dharmic artifact debris left behind. As for the aircraft, it was destroyed by a flying creature. There was nothing unusual about that as it was the Pond Cloud Rainforest after all. From all these details, it can be inferred that the battle was extremely dangerous and treacherous.”

The croaky voice that spoke beside the Chancellor carried a sense of disbelief. ”Wang Baole must have exhausted all the Dharmic Armament knowledge that he has learned in the Dao College and used them to their fullest. He could have used some secret techniques, but nonetheless, the whole incident was real, and the mastermind is Lin Tianhao and his followers. Cao Kun and Jiang Lin were probably the ones who incited him and suggested the idea!”

After staying silent for a moment, the Chancellor said, ”Secrets… Everyone has secrets, and that is not a big deal. However, Lin Tianhao… what guts he has! How dare he try to challenge the bottom line of the four major academies!”

Following that, he abruptly turned around and headed straight toward the Upper Academy.

It was apparent that the whole matter implicated Lin Tianhao and the bottom line of the Dao College, necessitating a need to report to the Upper Academy of Ethereal Dao College.

However, from the beginning till now, there had been no mention of the mosquito at all. Furthermore, from the memories and testimony of the middle-aged man in black, no one else knew about the youth with the protruded mouth and ape-like chin that appeared in the black fog. It was as if all of that had never happened and had been remotely erased without a trace in an unusual manner.

Time passed in a flash, and another two days came and went. There were only a few days left before school commenced once more. The investigation and how the incident was handled was finally made known immediately to Wang Baole, directly from the Chancellor.

After receiving the notification and the conclusion of the matter, Wang Baole was still appalled, despite him having made educated guesses previously.

”How can the bottom line be so easily breached? The safety of you and your family members should not be a concern. The College guarantees that. So what if it's a senator! Should anyone try to cause trouble again…” This was the final statement in the notification.

Wang Baole's breathing was urgent. He revealed a resolute gaze and was more determined than ever. The decision made by the Dao College made him suddenly realize that he could put his faith in the school.

Your father is a senator? That is no big deal. Lin Tianhao, Cao Kun, and Jiang Lin—I, your Grandpa Wang, will keep all of you under my reign! Wang Baole laughed heartily toward the sky as he stood up and turned on his voice transmission ring to send Liu Daobin and company a message, calling all the inspectors under his leadership to return to the college early.
