I’ve seen it before… Wang Baole mumbled to himself. He had seen all of the other party’s limbs, torso, and head.

It was just that the way he looked at it was a little strange.

“Then, what are you trying to tell me by communicating with your consciousness now?”Wang Baole gathered his thoughts and spoke slowly. Based on his judgment, the seven emotions Joy Lord’s appearance was definitely not without reason, there must be something that he needed to communicate with him.

“I saw a cultivator who had stepped into the realm of listening by chance. I was curious, so I sent my divine thoughts over. There was nothing special.”The seven emotions Joy Lord responded to Wang Baole with his usual faint voice.

Wang Baole raised his eyebrows. Even though the first law he had come into contact with after arriving in the second level was the law of joy, if the other party had concealed his words, his lack of intimacy wouldn’t have been enough to support his patience, therefore, after hearing the seven emotions joyous Lord’s words, Wang Baole smiled. His body swayed, and his figure in the world of listening gradually blurred, as if he was about to leave the place.

!!

“Since the joyous lord only came out of curiosity, we’ll have more time to chat later.”

As he spoke, Wang Baole’s figure blurred, as if he was about to leave the world. The seven emotions joyous Lord remained silent, and not a single sound was heard until Wang Baole’s figure completely disappeared.

Wang baole, who had returned to the night, had a puzzled look in his eyes.

Could it be that he really came here out of curiosity? Wang Baole thought to himself, suppressing the matter in his heart. The night passed slowly as Wang Baole transformed into a strange object and merged into the listening realm.

Not long after he returned to the night, the horizon in the distance had turned white. Soon, the night was replaced by day, and Wang Baole’s figure had also been teleported away.

When he reappeared, he was already in the city of listening desire. He returned to the restaurant with a calm expression. Even though he had not found Shi Lingzi that night, his gains were astonishing.

First, he had confirmed the direction of the law of listening desire. He knew what abilities he possessed now, and he had gained a deep understanding of the strange things in the world of listening.

As for the celebrant, Wang Baole had a premonition that her appearance was definitely not just out of curiosity. There must be something else going on.

She’s not in a hurry, so naturally, I’m not in a hurry either. Wang Baole did not pay too much attention to this matter. On one hand, he had the butler of the restaurant continue to collect the incomplete music scores. On the other hand, he opened the storage bags he had obtained one by one and started rummaging through them.

As he opened up the storage pouches one after another, Wang Baole’s expression grew more and more pleasantly surprised. These storage pouches came from the cultivators of the three sects, and each cultivator’s storage pouches contained some of their belongings.

For example, Wang Baole had obtained thirteen complete music scores.

As for the incomplete music scores, there were many of them. Most of them were original and not imprinted. Other than that, there were dharmic artifacts, pills, and the like. There were all kinds of them, and Wang Baole was very excited when he saw them.

He immediately took out the music scores and began to comprehend the notes.

Just like that, days passed day by day until ten days had passed.

During these ten days, every night, Wang Baole would transform into a strange person and appear in the outside world. All the cultivators he met would be unable to escape the calamity of having their storage bags taken away by him. There were even a few who were his old customers..

While his gains were astonishing, among the disciples of the three sects, there was a rumor about a terrifying bandit in the dark night that swept through the three sects like a storm. Many people even knew about it in the city of listening, there was a lot of discussion.

“Have you heard? Recently, a deranged person has appeared. This person’s cultivation is extremely high, but he’s only targeting his storage pouches…”

“Everyone, be careful. It hasn’t been peaceful these days. There have been bandits.”

“I heard that more than half of the cultivators from the three sects have encountered that bandit. Since this bandit has such a high cultivation, why is he targeting the storage bag?”

During the day, Wang Baole could hear the discussions of the crowd in the restaurant. At night, in his own sect, he could hear similar conversations.

Every time that happened, his expression would remain the same, as if the person he was talking about was not him at all. When he met his neighbor in the cave abode, Wang Baole even sighed after the other party informed him of the incident, saying that he had encountered the same thing, it was met with a wave of sympathy.

Perhaps it was because of the incident with the bandits, or perhaps it was because the popularity of the wanted posters had decreased, the number of cultivators from the three sects who went out slowly at night had also decreased significantly. Most of the disciples from the three sects had returned to their previous lives of seclusion and enlightenment.

This caused Wang Baole’s plundering to come to a halt. Sometimes, he would spend a long night looking for his incarnation in a strange manner. At most, he would encounter three to five people.

As a result, his gains were naturally greatly reduced. However, Wang Baole was already very satisfied. That was because during this period of time, he had plundered more than fifty music scores in his storage bag.

The number of missing music scores was even more shocking. The number of music notes that he had comprehended had exceeded fifteen thousand, reaching more than twenty thousand. Most importantly, every time he transformed into a strange object in the night and entered the listening realm.., he could faintly sense that a gaze was focused on him.

The owner of that gaze was no stranger to Wang Baole. He didn’t hide it either. It was the seven emotions joyous lord. However, other than the first day, the joyous Lord had never communicated with Wang Baole.

That day, when Wang Baole transformed into a strange object and wandered around the listening realm for a long time without seeing a single cultivator’s flame, the voice of the seven emotions joyous lord, which had been separated for a long time, suddenly reverberated in his mind.

“To the east of you, within the area of an incense stick’s worth of time at your speed, there is a disciple of the Dao of music.”

“HMM?”Wang baole scanned his surroundings when he heard that. He left instantly and headed in the direction that the other party had pointed. After an incense stick’s worth of time, he saw a dim ball of light moving carefully, as if afraid of being noticed.

Unfortunately, as a gust of wind swept past and Wang Baole left, the expression of the disciple of the Dao of music suddenly changed. He touched his chest and took a deep breath. The storage bag that he had hidden in his chest… was gone.

The Joy of working together for the first time deepened the relationship between Wang Baole and the joyous lord. Therefore, the frequency of the joyous lord’s words increased as well. However, every time, she would inform Wang Baole of the location of the disciples of the three sects.

Wang Baole was not in a hurry. He followed the other party’s instructions and gradually gained more. However, it was clear that such acts, which were akin to the act of losing a family, would not last long. After another half a month had passed, there were not many disciples of the three sects left, they appeared in the dark of the night.

This made Wang Baole feel a little regretful. At the same time, he was curious as to why he hadn’t met any spirit sons during this period of time. Even the dao sons from the other sects hadn’t appeared. It was as if these dao sons.., had All disappeared.

The seven emotions joyous lord, who seemed to have guessed Wang Baole’s doubts, spoke again.

“The dao children of the three sects, as well as those outstanding disciples, are all in seclusion, preparing for the upcoming… trials that are of utmost importance to them.”

“Trials?”Wang Baole sat on the fish bone from before and raised his head to ask his surroundings.
