A World Worth Protecting

Wang Baole didn’t agree to the voice servant’s suggestion, but he didn’t reject it either. After all, he hadn’t joined the chord sect yet. It wouldn’t be too late for him to weigh the pros and cons after he joined.

After sending the butler off, the sky outside gradually darkened. Wang Baole sat cross-legged in his room. He waited silently, deep in thought.

The three great sects that only exist in the dark... Wang Baole narrowed his eyes and raised his head to look at the sky outside the window. Dusk was about to pass. The night didn’t seem to want to be late, and it was approaching with quick steps. Silence.., it became the main theme of Wang Baole’s room.

Just like that, as time passed and the room grew quieter, as the pedestrians in the city outside the window became less and less hurried. When the light was completely engulfed by the darkness that blotted out the sky... the night fell.

Just like yesterday, everything inside and outside the house was quiet.

Amidst the silence, Wang Baole raised his head and opened his eyes that had been shut for a long time. He stood up and walked to the door.

He didn’t push open the window to go out, as there was no need for that.

The night in listening pleasure city might be a great danger to many people, but to Wang Baole, who had come all the way from the wilderness to hunt for the strange existence in the dimension of the law of listening pleasure, it was no different from walking into his own backyard, there wasn’t much of a difference.

Of course, the prerequisite was that he wouldn’t encounter such an extremely high-level existence. Fortunately... such an existence wasn’t common in the world that only the nomological dimension of listening comprehension could sense, and it was also rarely seen.

Therefore, even though Wang baole, who had pushed open the door, heard waves of laughter the moment the door opened, his expression didn’t change at all. He casually raised his right hand and grabbed towards the right.

The laughter immediately stopped.

I don’t like this kind of laughter. Can I not laugh in the future? Wang Baole looked at the empty right side and at his hand. There was clearly nothing in his hand, but the vibration that transmitted to his right hand seemed to have an existence.., he nodded frantically.

Wang Baole released his hand in satisfaction. He felt that he was not a bloodthirsty person. At the same time, it was not because the other party was too small to fill the gaps between his teeth that he let him go.

I’m a reasonable person, Wang Baole told himself. Then, he walked forward. He walked out of the main door of the quiet restaurant.

He passed by many rooms along the way. He could feel that there were cultivators in every room, but without exception, no one dared to open the door. It was as if the restaurant had become a taboo, and Wang Baole.., he walked through the taboo until he exited the main door and stood on the street. He looked at the empty space around him and felt the silence that came from the dark night. He could hear the whimpering of the wind.

The wind was cold and bone-piercing. It was as if there were countless cold hands caressing Wang Baole’s entire body. This should have been a beautiful scene, but now, in the dark and silent background, it appeared strange and eerie.

Wang Baole didn’t pay it any attention. He even strengthened the seal of the law of appetite that was restless in his body, as if it wanted to burst forth and devour everything.

After a moment of peace, Wang Baole took a step forward. As he walked through the city in the dark night, he heard many strange sounds. It was as if more and more gazes were focused on him in the dark night, they were coming from all directions.

As they neared, Wang Baole narrowed his eyes. He raised his right hand and flipped it. Immediately, a musical note appeared in his hand. The musical note emitted a weak light, and faint rumbling sounds reverberated.

Under the light and the sound, the strange beings that were gathering around him seemed to be afraid. They didn’t rush forward immediately. Instead, they lingered around him with malice, waiting for an opportunity.

Wang Baole’s expression remained the same, but he laughed coldly in his heart. If he hadn’t wanted to enter the chord sect and didn’t want to expose himself, all the beings around him would have become his food.

He didn’t pay attention to the increasing number of voices in his ears. He lowered his head and looked at the notes in his hand. After he integrated his divine thoughts into them, he sensed something. It was as if there was a beckoning from somewhere far ahead, it was pulling him.

The chord sect, huh... Wang Baole was deep in thought as he headed towards the direction of the beckoning. He moved quickly, but the strange beings that were gathering around him didn’t disperse like ghosts. They followed him, there were more and more of them.

It was as if Wang Baole had become a torch here, attracting the attention of the dark night.

The musical note in his hand was rapidly dimming. Amidst the dimness, Wang Baole heard the sound of breathing. It was as if countless figures around him were blowing at the musical note in his hand, it was as if they were treating it like a candle flame, about to extinguish it.

Malice grew exponentially as the glow of the musical note gradually dimmed. It was as if the strange beings that had gathered were waiting for the moment when the glow of the musical note was completely extinguished.

If it had been anyone else, they would have been extremely alarmed. However, Wang Baole only narrowed his eyes for a moment. His expression remained the same as he continued walking forward. As he walked, he heard more breathing and footsteps around him, the musical notes in his hands grew dimmer as well.

This caused a cold glint to slowly rise in Wang Baole’s eyes. He weighed the pros and cons in his heart. If this continued, it would be a small matter if the musical notes were extinguished. Without the credentials to join the chord sect, it would be a big matter.

Wang Baole stopped in his tracks. He was about to put away the music notes in his hand, but at that moment, Wang Baole’s expression changed slightly. He raised his head and looked into the distance. Soon, he saw four lanterns swaying as they approached in the dark night.

As they approached, four skinny figures appeared. They were carrying a red sedan chair and a jade-white arm that extended from the cover of the sedan chair.

The arm swayed irregularly, as if its owner was in a good mood. As they walked over the bridge, Wang Baole could hear the humming of a musical tune.

A black night, a desolate city, a red sedan chair..

This scene made Wang Baole’s eyes shine. As the sedan chair arrived, he heard countless sounds of retreating around him. It was as if the existences in the night were afraid of the sedan chair.

Wang Baole didn’t sense any aura of a cultivator in the red sedan chair.

It’s not a cultivator... and the four people carrying the sedan chair... aren’t human either. Wang Baole thought to himself as he made way, allowing the sedan chair to float past him. The four people carrying the sedan chair didn’t even look at Wang Baole, the person in the sedan chair did the same. His arm that reached out of the curtain was still shaking.

However, as the sedan chair floated past Wang baole, the wind created by the interaction blew the curtain up slightly. Wang Baole turned his head to the side and saw an empty seat in the raised curtain.

Only the arm was left hanging out from one end and suspended in the air inside the sedan chair, leaving drops of purple blood behind..

The moment Wang Baole saw all of this, the sedan chair suddenly stopped.
