Just as Wang Baole grabbed hold of the jade slip, the teacher who was apprehended suddenly began to struggle after the lady passed her command. He seemed to want to say something, but even before he could say something, the lady with the chilly look but provocative figure shot him a cold gaze. She walked towards him and slapped him hard with her right hand directly.

When she raised her hand, a force belonging to someone who had perfected the Foundation Establishment stage and was approaching breakthrough into Core Formation instantly erupted from her body. It sent shock waves in all directions, and when the slap landed on the chest of that Dao Mountain Mist Academy teacher, the teacher vomited blood immediately. His chest turned into a mesh of flesh and blood, and his ribs were exposed.

However, he didn’t die!

“An easy option like death won’t be available to you!” The lady carried her usual facial expression as she reached into the bloody mess created in the teacher’s chest and broke three of his ribs. The pain caused the teacher to scream pitifully. The lady then wiped her bloody palm carelessly on the teacher’s shirt before turning and looking coldly at the teachers and students who were standing around.

All the teachers held their breaths, and even the students grew nervous. Jin Duozhi looked closely at the lady and seemed to have realized who she was. He hurriedly stood at attention, trying to appear as if he was perfectly healthy and good, and that whatever that had happened previously was just a fluke.

After frightening everyone, the lady didn’t even bother to look at Wang Baole. She directly entered the cruiser, and Zhuo Yixian, who stood behind her, heaved a visible sigh of relief. He made use of the authoritative manner of the lady to look at Wang Baole viciously, as he apprehended the teacher from Dao Mountain Mist Academy who had lost consciousness and brought him into the cruiser along with the other people from the Colony Disciplinary Order. Soon, all the cruisers from the Colony Disciplinary Order rose into the sky and disappeared into the distance.

With their departure, all the equipment in the area that was powered by the Spirit Stones began operating again.

Wang Baole frowned. He couldn’t stop what just happened as the incident recorded in the jade slip had shocked him.

Using live people as an offering to practice a forbidden cultivation technique. Brutally killing seven people at the Ancient Martial Arts realm, and eleven commoners…. There were few words in the jade slip, but those few sentences had managed to outline the offenses committed by that teacher.

After reading about the crimes listed on the jade slip, Wang Baole then looked towards the cruisers from Colony Disciplinary Order in the distant sky. He remained silent, and Lin Tianhao, who was beside him, took a deep breath and began to speak in all seriousness.

“Dean, don’t provoke this female lunatic… she is simply crazy…”

“You know her? Who is she?” A glow flashed across Wang Baole’s eyes. He had noticed that Lin Tianhao wanted to say something previously but had stopped himself. It was clear that it was because of the presence of the lady that Lin Tianhao didn’t dare to say anything. In addition, he also noticed the swift transformation and adrift look in Jin Duozhi’s eyes after he noticed her. It was apparent that he recognized who the woman was and didn’t want to provoke her.

Lin Tianhao hurriedly replied after hearing Wang Baole’s question. He knew that he was slightly cowardly just now, but with the crazy woman standing there, even he didn’t dare make a sound. Now, he began to speak softly, as if trying to rectify his blunder.

“Dean, do you remember Li Xiu? He is the senator’s son, and this female lunatic is his sister… His blood sister!”

Lin Tianhao’s reply caused Wang Baole to widen his eyes in disbelief.

“Li Xiu’s sister?” Wang Baole’s facial expressions changed instantly. He thought of the serious look Li Xiu had when he said he would introduce him to his sister when he was in the Mystic Luna Realm.

“Yes, her name is Li Wan’er. Though her name sounds dainty, she is actually this woman with a frozen face! Just by looking at what a disaster Li Xiu is, you will know what kind of person his sister is!

“Even though this Li Wan’er is an extremely gifted natural talent, having perfected Foundation Establishment and was nearing the Core Formation stage despite being just a few years older than us, she has an icy nature and is extremely imposing. She is like an ice mountain that wouldn’t melt even in a million years. She is an infamous spinster, known for her ruthlessness and eccentric personality. She looks pretty, which was why many people tried to pursue her many years back. However, every single one of them was almost beaten to death by her…”

“You know Jin Duoming, right? He also once tried to pursue her. He merely flirted with her with words, yet this Li Wan’er went after him so viciously that she almost had him castrated. Therefore, she is a female devil… It’s been said that Li Xiu has been beaten by her since he was young. Every single time, he would swear to us that he would find his sister an ugly, perverted, shameless, and vicious person to marry in order to take revenge.” As Lin Tianhao rattled on, he grew more excited, not noticing that Wang Baole was beginning to look awkward.

In the end, when Lin Tianhao noticed Wang Baole’s awkward facial expressions, he immediately stopped speaking. Even though he didn’t know why Wang Baole looked that way, he felt that it would be dangerous for him to continue staying where he was. Therefore, he found a reason and hurriedly left, even sending orders to disperse the crowd.

When the people from Dao Mountain Mist Academy left, Wang Baole then turned to leave for his office with a stiff facial expression while gritting his teeth.

Li Xiu, make sure you don’t appear in front of me again. Darn it… So, in your eyes, I’m someone who is perverted, ugly, shameless, and vicious? I’m so handsome, yet he can’t see it. He must be blind! Wang Baole was most offended at Li Xiu thinking that he was ugly. Therefore, he became determined to teach Li Xiu what beauty truly was if he ever had the chance to see him again.

With that thought, he suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and took another look at the jade slip before setting it aside. This matter actually had nothing to do with him. He only felt uncomfortable with how the Colony Disciplinary Order handled the matter. Now, he had calmed down, and continued to draw the blueprint for his stronghold and construction puppets.

Just like that, a day passed. The next afternoon, Wang Baole stepped out of his residence and into the Dean’s Office, thinking that the incident with the Colony Disciplinary Order had already concluded the day before. Even though he was unhappy with the way they handled it, he had managed to save his reputation somehow. However, he had never imagined that not long after arriving in the office, cruisers from the Colony Disciplinary Order landed once again.

This time, there was only one cruiser. Even though it did not barge into Dao Mountain Mist Academy and was instead parked outside, the person who emerged seemed like someone who was used to handling things head on and boisterously. He was in Wang Baole’s office but was still stern and direct in his words.

“Dean Wang, our Minister needs you to go over to assist in the investigation.”

Wang Baole looked coldly at the expressionless middle-aged man dressed in a black robe standing before him, as he narrowed his eyes.

“What’s the investigation?”

“Dean Wang, this is something that I don’t know. This is an order by the Colony Disciplinary Order and is within the authority of the Colony Disciplinary Order bestowed by the Martian Colony. Everyone below the rank Secondary Rank Three has to cooperate. Dean Wang, after you, please!”

Wang Baole frowned. He was unhappy, but as he didn’t do anything wrong, and as the Colony Disciplinary Order had sought cooperation, people would speak behind his back if he didn’t cooperate. Therefore, after thinking about it, he took out his jade slip and contacted the Sect Lord of Ethereal Dao College.

After informing the Sect Lord about the matter, the Sect Lord assured Wang Baole that he would keep tabs on it and that he should cooperate.

With that, Wang Baole stood up. He didn’t enter the Colony Disciplinary Order’s cruiser. Instead, he stepped into his own cruiser, expressionlessly following the middle-aged man to the Colony Disciplinary Order in the Zone Nineteen!

He soon arrived on the grounds of the Colony Disciplinary Order, which was filled with buildings that were painted black, giving off a suppressive force that felt extremely cold and distant. Everyone there was dressed in a black robe, looking extremely stern.

The office of the Colony Disciplinary Order’s Minister was located on the top floor of a high rise building in the middle of all the buildings. When Wang Baole arrived and pushed open the door, he saw Li Wan’er, Li Xiu’s sister, sitting there, staring coldly at him. Her perfect level of Foundation Establishment cultivation was transformed into a suppressive force, enveloping Wang Baole.

It was worth mentioning that even though Li Wan’er was expressionless and extremely cold, Wang Baole felt her looks could be compared to Zhao Yameng. To a certain extent, her hot figure put her higher in the ranks in terms of looks.

“Dean Wang, there are a few matters that we need your cooperation with, which is why we invited you here. Please answer truthfully!” Li Wan’er didn’t mince her words, instead, speaking her mind directly. The questions mostly revolved around the apprehended teacher, such as when he was employed and who he interacted with most on a day to day basis.

Though Wang Baole was unhappy, he had no need to withhold information regarding these questions. Therefore, he answered everything truthfully. In the end, Li Wan’er judged the situation silently in her mind before lowering her head and checking the documents, not even looking at Wang Baole, before speaking coldly again.

“You can leave now. According to regulations, whatever is mentioned here shouldn’t be made known to anyone. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences.”

Wang Baole looked at Li Wan’er, who remained cold and distant. As he turned towards the door, he turned his head, looking coldly at Li Wan’er, who was reading the documents, before speaking calmly.

“Minister Li, I am not a newbie to the Federation. When I first entered Ethereal Dao College, my job was in investigative matters. When I became Deputy Pavilion Head on the Upper Academy Island, investigative matters were also under my purview. I am clear about matters like these.

“Guilty or not, it’s all based on your words. Are you sure that you have the right evidence, and didn’t malign the teacher under my watch?

“Furthermore, don’t try to suppress me with your perfect Foundation Establishment cultivation. Even though I have never killed a perfected Foundation Establishment cultivator, I have killed many who were in the early-stage and mid-stage of Foundation Establishment when I was in Foundation Establishment myself. I can even kill those in the late-stage Foundation Establishment with a lift of my finger. You, a perfected Foundation Establishment cultivator, are no threat to me!”

Wang Baole’s words made Li Wan’er frown, and she raised her head to look at Wang Baole with even more chilliness in her eyes. Wang Baole didn’t seem to back down as he looked back at her, and this staring contest went on for a significant length of time.
