613 A Terrible Fate Befalls Scram! (2/2)
At this moment, the donkey was relying on its mental connection with Wang Baole to call for help!
No one else would be able to hear this cry. Even if they did, they wouldn't understand what the donkey was trying to say. They would only be able to sense the extreme anxiety as well as fear in its voice. Wang Baole was very familiar with the donkey though. He instantly knew what it was trying to convey when he heard its cries. The series of cries could be translated into a single word.
”Help!”
Wang Baole froze in his steps. His breathing quickened, and the look on his face darkened. He was about to find out what was going on with the donkey when the connection between him and the donkey was suddenly cut off!
There seemed to be some power standing between him and the donkey, disrupting their connection!
Wang Baole secretly trembled. Anxiety rose inside him. He might treat the donkey harshly, with regular punishments and beatings, but he still considered it his son. He was the only one who could beat it. He wouldn't allow anyone else to bully it.
The donkey's cries for help sounded tragic. It was like a slight yank at Wang Baole's heart. Face grim, he sped up and raced forward.
Even though their connection had been severed, Wang Baole was able to pin down the donkey's location based on what he had sensed earlier. It was in… the Vast Expanse Dao Palace!
What happened… Wang Baole could barely hide the icy glint in his eyes. As he raced ahead, Zhao Yameng and Kong Dao, while unaware of what had transpired, sensed the icy aura exuding from Wang Baole. They shivered and sped up as well.
”Baole, what happened?” After a few moments, Zhao Yameng couldn't help but ask.
”Scram just called for help!” Wang Baole forced the words from his mouth. Zhao Yameng and Kong Dao knew the donkey's name. Shock flashed across their faces when they heard what had happened. Wang Baole pulled out his voice transmission ring then and immediately contacted Sect Lord Xu of the Galactic Dusk Sect, who was currently in the Vast Expanse Dao Palace!
Sect Lord Xu knew nothing about this. He had been caught by surprise when he received the voice transmission. He told Wang Baole not to panic and that he was going to find out what was going on. Wang Baole maintained his speed as he raced towards the Vast Expanse Dao Palace, sending voice transmissions to others and making inquiries.
It didn't take long before everyone reported to him, and he finally realized the cause of the donkey's distress. The donkey had eaten a huge chunk of a Nascent Soul realm Elder's alchemical cauldron. The Elder was called Sun Hai, and he belonged to Mie Liezi's faction. The alchemical cauldron had been crafted from numerous rare and priceless materials. It had almost been destroyed by the donkey's single bite.
Sun Hai had discovered the donkey's misdeed and captured it in his fury. He intended to kill it!
”Baole, I've mapped out his relations. It won't be useful. Sun Hai said that he won't listen to anyone. He plans to use the donkey to refine a Blood Flesh Pill!”
Wang Baole's head started throbbing when he heard that. He knew the donkey. This was something it was capable of doing. Its greed had landed it in trouble. But this was still his son. Upon hearing everything, he turned and looked at Zhao Yameng and Kong Dao.
”I need to go!” Having said that, he let loose a sudden burst of speed, unleashing his full speed, which approximated that of a teleportation. He transformed into a rainbow and dashed across the skies. The burst of speed reduced his traveling to a third of the time required. He would be able to reach the Vast Expanse Dao Palace within a day.
”Sect Lord Xu, no matter what you do, please, help me delay the event for another day!”
”Baole, I'll do my best. Don't act rashly though. I believe paying compensation would resolve this matter. Besides, you've just returned from the Worship Palace Pavilion. Your status is of a sensitive nature. We cannot eliminate the possibility that they are doing this intentionally. Be careful!”
