BXBX NOVEL Chapter 780 - Going Back for Reinforcements
Even the four most powerful major families in the Promise Star did not have this kind of power. That was why they were willing to do anything they could to nurture someone in their family to become a Wisdom Dictator. This would not only put them at the pinnacle but also leave the other three families in the dust.
Reaching the realm of a Wisdom Dictator was the aspiration of all cultivators.Even a third-step Wisdom Elite, or a hermit master, or a founder of a sect, could be said to be a suzerain-level figure. Although a third-step Wisdom Elite and a Wisdom Dictator were only a step away, that one step was akin to the distance between heaven and hell.
Therefore, it was surprising to discover that a Wisdom Dictator had appeared in the Promise Star. Not only that, he seemed to be targeting the Su family’s benefactors, so how could they not be worried?
Meanwhile, Nanan and Dragin were looking at the incoming giant palm with grave expressions on their little faces. The giant palm contained a devastating power of Origins, and under the terrifying coercive force, the five-finger mountain formed a barrier, making it difficult for everything under it to escape.
Nanan and Dragin tried to resist but found that their strength was greatly restricted under the giant palm. Many of their spells were dispelled as soon as they were cast, making it futile for them to escape. “We can’t win over a Wisdom Dictator!” All the colors drained out of the Milk Cow’s face when it saw the giant palm coming down on them rapidly. It opened its mouth and a green turtle shell flew out of it immediately. The green turtle shell then expanded and cupped itself on top of the Milk Cow.
“Hurry up and hide under my turtle shell!” said Milk Cow in panic.
Dragin’s eyes lit up. “Wow, Sister Cow, you’ve come well prepared! You even brought Lao Gui’s shell!”
“It’s my mother who thought of it. She especially gave this shell to me before I left so I could use it for protection. She got the shell in exchange for her milk,” said the Milk Cow with a smile.
“Parents will always worry about their child. This time, we’re saved thanks to your mother!” said Nanan.
Then, both Nanan and Dragin quickly hid under the turtle shell without a moment to spare as the giant palm slammed down on it. The turtle shell, with Nanan and the others in it, was sent flying, but they remained unharmed. They held the turtle shell above them and escaped in a hurry. “How’s this possible? What kind of turtle shell is that? How can it be so hard?!” The Wisdom Dictator, who came from a distance, was struck dumb by the fast-moving turtle shell.
‘It seems that the two of them didn’t lie to me. There’s really something weird going on here. I mustn’t let them get away!’ thought the Wisdom Dictator with determination.
He raised his hand again and cast out a palm strike toward Nanan and the others. He was far away from them, but a giant palm phantom appeared out of thin air in front of Nanan and the others. It made a move to grab them.
“Moo-I’m so scared!” The Milk Cow was so frightened that its ears stood up straight. Without hesitation, it opened its mouth again and spat out a glowing rainbow feather that illuminated the sky with its dazzling brilliance.
The feather’s light contained the power to travel through time and space. It wrapped itself around Nanan, Dragin, and the Milk Cow and the three of them began to dissipate with the light, leaving the giant palm grabbing at an empty space. When they reappeared, they had already left the Promise Star and were close to the Ancient Forbidden Area.
“Not bad, Milk Cow! I’m amazed at just how many treasures you have!” said Nanan in surprise.
“The feather was given by Sister Peacock in exchange for my mother’s milk. It’s to be used for emergencies,” said the Milk Cow.
“Once again, we have to thank your mother! It was a close shave just now,” said Dragin, patting her chest while calming herself down. “It’s just that we left the fruit trees back there…and we have no idea if Brother Su’s okay.”
Nanan frowned and said threateningly, “We must make them pay for stealing from us! Let’s get some reinforcements! We must get the fruit trees back no matter what!” “What kind of feather is that? Where did they go?” An old man in a white robe appeared at the place where Nanan and the others had disappeared. His face was filled with disbelief.
He was the Wisdom Dictator. However, his aura was very peaceful and he looked like an average immortal old man. Nanan and the others had left a deep first impression on him. Their various battle skills and treasures made him realize that they undoubtedly came from extraordinary origins.
Moreover, it was obvious they were not from the Origins Realm. After all, the magical cow, the shockingly hard turtle shell, and the Origins feather that could travel through space… Surely, he would have heard about those items if they were from the Origins Realm.
“Master Thunder.” Finally, a small team arrived and respectfully saluted the white-robed old man. Then, they swept their eyes across the battlefield, and immediately, their pupils shrank rapidly in shock when they saw the corpses of the two black-armored men.
‘They…they’re actually…dead? Even Master Thunder couldn’t save them? And more importantly, there’s no one here except Master Thunder, so that must mean the killers have escaped! This is unbelievable!’
The Heaven Plundering Alliance had four halls in the Northern Star Region, and each hall had a domain master-Master Wind, Master Fire, Master Thunder, and Master Lightning. Each of them was half-step Wisdom Dictators, making them the top powerhouses in the Northern Star Region. This was the first time someone managed to escape from the clutches of Master Thunder.
Master Thunder did not say anything but walked slowly to the two black-armored men. He then pointed at their corpses and a mysterious aura suddenly surrounded them, intending to extract their memories. However, it seemed like there was some forbidden spell cast on the two corpses, for they started to shudder, and with a poof, they turned into ashes. Their memories were, of course, annihilated as well.
“Their karma was cut off?!”
“How’s it possible that even Master Thunder can’t see where they came from?”.
“I don’t care who they are! As far as I know, they’re all ants for daring to oppose the Heaven Plundering Alliance!”
All the people from the Heaven Plundering Alliance gave their two cents.
“They’re quite skilled, I’ll give them that,” said Master Thunder with a scoff. “It’s obvious that they’re deliberately hiding something since they had gone to great lengths to cut off their karma.”
His brows became furrowed as he fell into deep thought. The two black-armored men sent a message to him, saying that there was a great mystery hidden here that might be of interest to the Heaven Plundering Alliance. It was a great shame that they were silenced.
‘What happened exactly?’
“Master Thunder, why don’t we ask the witnesses from the four major families? Maybe we can uncover their origins that way,” suggested someone.
“As if I needed you to tell me that. The people in the Origins Pond of Holy Dimension have already been sealed up by me. Follow me to interrogate them!” said Master Thunder with a sinister smile.
