In the face of Wang Baole's thunderous rage, Li Yi narrowed her eyes and caught the jade slip that Wang Baole threw at her. She held it in her hand and looked at it, and her expression darkened. She knew that her actions would be discovered, but she didn't expect it to be so soon. In fact, she had been very cautious in order to stall for time.
In her plan, she still needed more time to complete her covert actions. When everything was completed, it would be time for her to show her cards and compete with Wang Baole.
But now, she had been discovered in advance, and this made her a little angry. As her expression darkened, Li Yi put down the jade slip and spoke calmly.
"It should be the subordinates who made the decision on their own. I will deal with this matter and turn the situation around."
Lin Tianhao narrowed his eyes and didn't say a word. As for Kongdao, he frowned slightly, and Kim Do-myung also looked deeply at Li Yi. Everyone knew that she was trying to shirk responsibility.
Wang Baole looked coldly at Li Yi, and his gaze gradually turned hostile. He couldn't control his temper, and just as he was wondering if he should use this opportunity to beat Li Yi up, he suddenly felt three auras locking onto him from outside the office.
The three people who locked onto him didn't hide their Core Formation realm cultivation. They were from the four major Dao Colleges, and were Li Yi's Dao Protectors. Or more accurately, they were the people who protected the interests of the four major Dao Colleges in the new district.
More accurately, these three people were from White Deer Dao College, the branch college, and the Holy River. As for Ethereal Dao College, the four major Dao Colleges didn't arrange for such powerful people to come. It was obvious that they wanted to keep Wang Baole in check.
After all, the new district was no small matter, and its location was extremely crucial. Therefore, regardless of whether it was Li Yi or Kim Do-myung, they all had such people by their side. Only Lin Tianhao and Kongdao didn't have them. After all, although Lin Tianhao's background was powerful, he represented himself and not the Senate.
As for Kongdao, he was part of the Martian military and could be considered a local power. It was convenient for him to use the teleportation portal, so he naturally didn't need such a protector.
After being locked onto by the three Core Formation realm cultivators, Wang Baole's eyes flashed coldly. Although he had a way to forcefully teach Li Yi a lesson even if he was locked onto, he changed his mind and hid a hint of viciousness deep in his eyes. He didn't choose to attack immediately, but his voice was ice-cold as it reverberated in the air.
"The migration of people is imminent, and the new district needs to be divided into four districts. Since everyone is here today, we might as well divide the new district into four districts. Each district will be responsible for supervision and construction. The two districts in the southeast will be under the charge of Lin Tianhao and Kim Do-myung. The northern district will be under the charge of Kongdao. As for the last district, the western district will be under the charge of Mayor Li Yi. Also, Li Yi, you have to give me an explanation for this matter!"
As soon as Wang Baole finished speaking, Li Yi frowned slightly. She had originally sensed that Wang Baole had been locked onto by the three Core Formation realm cultivators. She was full of contempt and had the support of the four major Dao Colleges, so she was very confident. However, when she heard Wang Baole's words, she still felt very uncomfortable.
In fact, Wang Baole's words, he didn't say anything about taking back the authority he had given her. Instead, he had divided this authority into four parts, so that she could only be responsible for one part.
However, this time, Wang Baole had caught on to her mistake. Even if she felt uncomfortable, even if she had the support of the four major Dao Colleges, she couldn't reject him. In the silence, Li Yi snorted.
"I will naturally give the Mayor an explanation for this matter. If there is nothing else, I will go back and investigate. Goodbye!" With that, Li Yi turned around like a proud peacock, showing off the perfect curve of her back as she left the office.
For a moment, the office was silent. Seeing this, Kim Do-myung was deep in thought. He felt that Wang Baole wasn't the kind of person who could tolerate things silently. However, he had raised his hand high and then let it go lightly. This made him instinctively feel that something was wrong. At the same time, he also had a premonition that Wang Baole was plotting something big!
"This is the rhythm of completely destroying Li Yi." Kim Do-myung sighed. He had no intention of reminding Li Yi. If he did, it would be equivalent to breaking off relations with Wang Baole. Therefore, after thinking about it, he looked at Kongdao and saw that Kongdao had his head lowered. He didn't seem to be interested in this matter. Therefore, he smiled, got up, and cupped his fists before leaving the office.
After he left, Kongdao looked up and hesitated. In the end, he didn't say anything and left as well. Soon, only Wang Baole and Lin Tianhao were left in the office.
Lin Tianhao was very unhappy. He felt that Wang Baole's method this time was too gentle. Therefore, he spoke unwillingly.
"Mayor, are you letting her go just like that?"
Wang Baole's eyes shone with a deep light. After knocking on the table, he suddenly spoke.
"Tianhao, after recording the whole story and today's conversation into a jade slip, send it to the Governor. Since Mayor Li Yi has already said that she will rectify the matter, we shouldn't hold onto it and refuse to let it go."
Lin Tianhao nodded helplessly. Just as he was about to get up and leave, Wang Baole's voice suddenly rang out.
"Also, use this as an excuse to delay the migration of people. At the same time … don't keep an eye on Li Yi's Western District. On the other hand, make sure that all the areas that she secretly took advantage of are set right and adjusted!"
The meaning of Wang Baole's words was very clear. Lin Tianhao's breathing quickened when he heard them. He could sense a murderous intent in those words, so he immediately nodded and took his leave.
After everyone had left, Wang Baole sat in his chair with his eyes closed, as if deep in thought. As the sky slowly darkened, so did the office. Soon, Wang Baole's figure was shrouded in shadows. Only his soft, almost undetectable murmurs could be heard.
"Li Yi, if you behave honestly, then I'll let it go. If you continue to court death, then I'll fulfill your wish!"
Just as Wang Baole had predicted, after Li Yi left, although she had indeed ordered an investigation, in reality … it was all just on the surface. She seemed to be making adjustments and repairs, but in reality, not only had she not changed the core positions, she had even sped up the construction.
However, due to the reduction of her authority, the district that she was originally in charge of was now the western district. Therefore, all she could do now was to build the western district into her own Global Dharma City.
She still believed that she could prove that she, Li Yi, was the most suitable candidate for the position of district mayor. As for that pig, Wang Baole, he was just playing to the gallery.
However, she also understood that this matter could not be exposed again. At the very least, before the Global Dharma City was fully formed, it could not be exposed again. Therefore, she was even more cautious. She even replaced all her subordinates with her own people from the White Deer Dao College.
At the same time, she increased the defenses, making it extremely difficult for outsiders to investigate the situation. As for the other three districts, it was not the same. Under the supervision of Lin Tianhao, both Kim Do-myung and Kongdao cooperated with each other to demolish all the areas that Li Yi had secretly modified and rebuild according to the blueprints that Wang Baole had given them.
Just like that, time passed. Another half a month passed. The Martian Colony Governor had obviously received the jade slip, but for some reason, she did not inquire about it. However … the migration that was supposed to come was delayed by the Martian Colony Governor due to some problems with the procedures.
Another round of tests on the new district's ability to resist the Beast Tide was conducted many times during this half a month. As wave after wave of Beast Tide broke out, the new district's array formation was fully activated, suppressing and eradicating the Beast Tides time and time again. The western district that Li Yi was in charge of also did not encounter any problems.
This made Li Yi even more confident, especially once when the Beast Tide in the Divine Armament Catacombs increased in intensity. An illusory circular light wave appeared in the western district that Li Yi was in charge of. This light wave reverberated and strengthened the array formation of the Divine Armament Catacombs, causing the Beast Tide to suffer heavy losses.
This experiment made Li Yi even more confident. She could already confirm that her Global Dharma City was indeed more powerful and more suitable than Wang Baole's Eternal Fortress!
"It's about time to replace him!" Seeing this, Li Yi could not wait any longer. She summed up the advantages of her Global Dharma City and its performance in resisting the Beast Tide. Just as she was about to contact White Deer Dao College and make things difficult for Wang Baole and let Mars retest which city was the most suitable, a sudden change that caught her off guard and shocked her suddenly erupted that night!
