Among those people was Lin Tianhao, as well as … Li Yi and Kongdao!
During the time that Wang Baole had been in secluded meditation, the two of them had arrived. Kongdao had been fine, but Li Yi had immediately gotten involved in the construction of the new district. She had even made a number of uncompromising suggestions, and had demanded changes.
Lin Tianhao felt that such demands were completely unreasonable, so he refused. In fact, he had suffered too much in front of Wang Baole, so he had no choice but to submit. Although he appeared to be in a weaker position, as the son of a Councilor, Lin Tianhao was the most powerful person in any faction.
In terms of background, he wasn't afraid. In terms of Noble rank, he had caught up with Li Yi. He was now a Secondary Fourth Noble, just like Li Yi. In terms of Cultivation base, although he was only at the great circle of the early stage of Foundation Establishment, Li Yi wasn't much higher than him.
Because of that, Lin Tianhao's domineering attitude became even more apparent. He didn't simply refuse, but rather, completely ignore him. In fact, during this period of time, the conflict between the two of them grew even more intense.
Despite that, when the alarm rang out, serious expressions appeared on their faces as they sped over. When they saw the enormous face inside the seal, their hearts began to pound with fear. Suddenly, the face … stopped roaring. Instead, it slowly sank down ….
It was at this point that the alarm stopped ringing.
At the same time that the face sank down, Wang Baole also heard the alarm. He put away his underworld flame and rose to his feet. The coldness around him vanished, and everything returned to normal. Wang Baole emerged from secluded meditation, his expression somber as he headed toward the Divine Weapon seal.
He wasn't sure what had gone wrong, but according to his settings, the alarm would only sound when something extremely dangerous had occurred.
Therefore, even though the alarm had stopped ringing, Wang Baole's speed was still extremely fast. Lin Tianhao and the others didn't have much time to investigate. Wang Baole's silhouette neared the area with a whistling sound. Lin Tianhao immediately noticed him as he walked into the ring-shaped array formation. He hurried forward, cupped his fists, and bowed respectfully.
"Greetings, Borough Mayor!"
Kongdao and Li Yi stood there, looking coldly at Wang Baole. They didn't greet him. Under any other circumstances, Wang Baole would have glared at them, but there was no time to consider such matters. He hurried over and asked about them.
"What's going on?!"
Lin Tianhao didn't dare to be negligent. He quickly told Wang Baole everything they knew and saw. Wang Baole was stunned. He looked at the Divine Weapon Catacombs seal, which had calmed down, and then thought about the time ….
"Isn't this the time when I just had a breakthrough in my Cultivation base and couldn't suppress the Dark Art? It was only when I heard the alarm that I withdrew the Dark Art. After that, the alarm disappeared, and the face sank." Wang Baole looked thoughtful. He looked around carefully, and then checked the construction of the place. After making sure that everything was fine and that everything was going according to his plan, he left.
Li Yi and Kongdao stood there the whole time, not saying a word to Wang Baole. Wang Baole ignored them. Before he left, he snorted coldly in his heart.
At that thought, he turned to look at Lin Tianhao. There was a hint of dissatisfaction in his expression as he said coldly, "How dare you put on airs in my territory?"
"Tianhao, I've been in seclusion for a month, right? It's been almost two months since we came here, right?"
Lin Tianhao was stunned. After calculating in his heart, he immediately agreed.
"Mm, it's been almost two months, but my other three deputies haven't come to take up their positions. That's interesting. It seems that they don't want to come here and suffer. Tianhao, go to Huoxing City immediately and meet the Martian Colony Governor. Tell her that I, Wang Baole, said it. If they don't want to come, I don't want them either!" Wang Baole said proudly. He was about to leave when Li Yi and Kongdao were furious.
"Wang Baole, are you blind?!" Li Yi had originally planned to use Wang Baole for her cultivation. However, ever since she lost, her mentality had collapsed. She felt that she must have been kicked by a donkey. She actually wanted Wang Baole to fall in love with her. Now that she heard Wang Baole's words, she was even more furious.
Wang Baole turned his head and glanced at Li Yi. Then, he turned to Lin Tianhao and asked, "Oh?"
"Who is this?"
Li Yi was about to explode. Her eyes seemed to spit fire. She glared at Wang Baole and spoke through gritted teeth.
"Wang Baole, don't go overboard. You're pretending to be deaf and dumb. Do you think …"
"Shut up!" Before Li Yi could finish speaking, Wang Baole roared. The power of his late Foundation Establishment Cultivation base exploded out, transforming into a powerful aura that crushed down on Li Yi!
Li Yi's body trembled violently, and she felt as if her ears were about to explode. At the same time, she could sense the change in Wang Baole's Cultivation base. She gasped. Kongdao stared in shock, and his face fell. He hadn't paid any attention to the alarms earlier. Furthermore, when Wang Baole had arrived, he had instinctively concealed his Cultivation base. Therefore, when he suddenly erupted with power, Kongdao was able to notice it.
"So you know that I'm Wang Baole?" Wang Baole reprimanded unceremoniously. "Vice Mayor Li, do you understand that you're just a deputy? Why didn't you come to greet me when you saw me? Are you waiting for me to greet you?"
His Cultivation base was higher than Li Yi's, his status was higher than Li Yi's, and his position was higher than Li Yi's. When he spoke, he had the upper hand. He crushed Li Yi as easily as crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood. Li Yi's breathing quickened, and her face turned green and white.
Kongdao also fell silent. He knew that it was best not to speak at this time.
Lin Tianhao heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Wang Baole reprimand Li Yi. He had been very annoyed by Li Yi during this period of time, so he immediately spoke up.
"Mayor, I would like to ask for your forgiveness … Vice Mayor Li gave a lot of pointers and suggestions when she arrived, but they didn't quite match with the basic blueprint of the Eternal Fortress that you gave me. I didn't dare to make a decision and caused the construction to be delayed …"
When Lin Tianhao spoke, Wang Baole raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Yi.
Li Yi raised her head and recovered from her previous reprimand. She looked coldly at Wang Baole. "Mayor Wang went into seclusion as soon as he arrived and didn't care about the overall situation, causing this place to be in a mess. As the Vice Mayor, I naturally have to supervise the construction of the new district. Am I not allowed to voice my opinions?"
"Yes, from now on, Vice Mayor Li will be in charge of the construction of the entire Eternal Fortress in addition to the Sealed Land. Tianhao, send a copy of the blueprint of the Eternal Fortress to Vice Mayor Li when you get back." Wang Baole's words were extremely decisive. This made Lin Tianhao stunned. Although he didn't understand why Wang Baole was like this, he still nodded.
Li Yi was also stunned. After she arrived, she originally planned to find an opportunity to intervene. After a series of intrigue, she finally obtained the right to build. Her bottom line was to be in charge of twenty to thirty percent.
However, she didn't expect that Wang Baole would actually give her all the construction rights. However, even if she was suspicious, Li Yi immediately accepted such a huge right.
Ignoring Li Yi, Wang Baole turned his head and looked at Kongdao.
Kongdao was silent. He thought about the instructions from the Martian military and his adoptive father when he arrived. He also saw with his own eyes how Wang Baole immediately became the dominant figure the moment he arrived. At the same time, he also gave away the rights with a flip of his hand. All of this gave him an indescribable feeling. He couldn't see through it, but he instinctively felt that it was a little dangerous.
However, he still remained expressionless and bowed to Wang Baole.
"Greetings, Mayor Wang."
Wang Baole revealed a slight smile on his face. After nodding, he spoke calmly.
"Mayor Kong …"
"Mayor Wang, you don't have to say anything more!" Kongdao directly interrupted Wang Baole's words.
"Mayor Wang, haven't you already communicated with the military about my duties? I'm here and won't participate in any construction. I'm only in charge of guarding the Divine Armament Catacombs. At the same time, I'll also open the seal periodically and enter the interior to kill. As for the resources, I've already handed over to Mayor Lin. I won't participate in any of your schemes!"
"This place has just been alerted. I still need to check carefully. If there's nothing else, I won't be seeing you off." After saying that, Kongdao no longer paid any attention to Wang Baole. Instead, he turned around and led the large number of military cultivators who had followed him here. They began a strict inspection outside the Divine Armament Catacombs.
Wang Baole looked at Kongdao and narrowed his eyes. Without saying anything, he turned around and led Lin Tianhao out of the seal of the Divine Armament Catacombs. Li Yi also glanced at Kongdao. After retracting her gaze, she thought about the rights she had obtained. Her heart raced. Although she was still suspicious, she didn't hesitate anymore. Even if there were clues in this matter, she wasn't afraid!
