Outside the new city, no one in Wang Baole's group spoke. Only the sound of the airship's whistling could be heard. After entering the new city's array formation, the airship headed straight for Chen Mu's autonomous zone.
Along the way, Wang Baole's expression was no longer gloomy. Instead, it was calm, and there was a deep, unfathomable light in his eyes. It was as if he was very different from how he usually was. Jin Duoming and the others narrowed their eyes when they saw him, and a look of contemplation appeared in their eyes.
Obviously, having worked with Wang Baole on Mars, they understood Wang Baole to a certain extent better than most people. They knew very well that this seemingly cheerful fatty was actually a ruthless character. He was ruthless to others and even more ruthless to himself. At the same time, Wang Baole did not lack strategy and decisiveness. This could be seen from the Li Yi incident.
In fact, after the Li Yi incident, Kim Do-myung and Kongdao had guessed that … Wang Baole had dug a huge hole for Li Yi from the start and was waiting for her to jump into it.
Kim Do-myung was full of praise for such a ruthless method. Although Kongdao felt that something was wrong, he knew very well that Li Yi had asked for it. Besides, Wang Baole had saved his life, so even if he did not say it out loud, he would remember it in his heart.
Wang Baole had done things extremely well. He had thought of a great opportunity for everyone. Most importantly, he had actually succeeded. All of this made Kim Do-myung and Kongdao accept Wang Baole as the City Lord.
Even now, they were not in the mood to watch the show. However, the two of them could not guess how Wang Baole would deal with Chen Mu and the other two.
"What will Wang Baole do?" Kim Do-myung narrowed his eyes, thinking about how he would deal with the situation if he were in Wang Baole's position. After thinking about it, he would make use of his family's power to resolve it.
Kongdao and Lin Tianhao were also thinking about how to deal with the situation. Even Li Waner was thinking about what Wang Baole would do. It was also at this time that Li Waner suddenly realized that she did not know much about Wang Baole. For example, she felt that Wang Baole was asking for trouble. However, she also knew very well that Wang Baole was definitely not a brainless person to be able to progress step by step from a nobody to a Primary Rank Three Noble.
The same thought surfaced in the minds of the people behind Wang Baole, especially the cultivators from the four major Dao Colleges. Perhaps some of them would come up with a solution if the journey was longer. However, the journey from the Catacombs to Chen Mu's autonomous zone was very short. As such, they still did not have much of a clue even when they were outside the new district.
The new district that Chen Mu was in charge of was located in the southeast of the new city. Its size was comparable to the area that Wang Baole had built when he was the mayor. It could be said that its size was already very majestic. Chen Mu had indeed put in a lot of thought into its construction. At the same time, the Five Generation Sky Clan had also given their full support. Therefore, even though he had only been here for a short period of time, the new district had already taken shape.
As far as the eye could see, what used to be a wilderness had been replaced by flat roads. At the same time, tall buildings had been erected everywhere. In this district, there was a strong sense of the Five Generation Sky Clan's style. It was very simple and unadorned, with countless pavilions. To a certain extent, this did not look like a district at all. Instead, it looked more like the residence of a huge family clan.
The entire district was divided into ten rings. While the layers were interconnected, the inner and outer areas could also exist independently. At the same time, the guards were all from the Five Generation Sky Clan. There were even heavily guarded areas that connected to the new city.
All of this revealed the so-called autonomy. In reality, it was akin to giving up land and declaring oneself king. This was Wang Baole's first time here. Even though he was familiar with this place from the reports he had received, he still raised an eyebrow when he saw it with his own eyes.
However, although the city was built like a family clan, there were no mistakes in the arrangement of the array formations. It was obvious that the Five Generation Sky Clan would not commit such a mistake.
Chen Mu was also aware of Wang Baole's arrival. He did not give Wang Baole a chance to make things difficult for him. When Wang Baole's group arrived, he, together with Wen Huai and Fang Jing, led a large group of subordinates out from their district. From afar, they cupped their fists and bowed to Wang Baole. When they lifted their heads, they wore a warm smile on their faces. Their voices were calm as they reverberated in the air.
"Greetings to the City Lord, Deputy City Lord, and my fellow Daoists. Welcome to the new district."
As they spoke, Chen Mu's gaze landed on Wang Baole. As he looked at the rotund figure, Chen Mu maintained a warm expression on his face. However, deep down, he was sneering. He had always believed that anyone who could not even maintain their figure must have many flaws in other aspects.
Despite his sneering, he did not treat Wang Baole the way Wen Huai and Fang Jing had described him. In reality, he had done a lot of research and research on Wang Baole. He knew what kind of person he was. However, even though he knew, he did not care. At the very most, he found his opponent to be a little challenging.
It was also Wang Baole's first time meeting Chen Mu. Chen Mu's warm smile, his handsome face, his tall and straight figure, as well as his noble aura, which was clearly cultivated in a large family clan, made Wang Baole even more displeased.
'Anyone from our Prince Charming Association is more handsome than him!' Wang Baole snorted in his heart. As he walked closer, his gaze swept past Chen Mu and landed on Wen Huai and Fang Jing, who were behind him. It was also his first time meeting Fang Jing. However, he had robbed Wen Huai thoroughly on the moon and had even seen his body.
Fang Jing was slightly better off being stared at by Wang Baole. She even revealed a hint of provocation in her eyes. However, Wen Huai's body trembled. The incident on the moon surfaced in his mind, and he instinctively avoided eye contact. In reality, if it were not for Chen Mu's repeated reminders and the sect's arrangements, he really did not want to face Wang Baole again.
Noticing Wen Huai's lowered head, Chen Mu's eyes flashed. He took a step forward and blocked Wang Baole's line of sight. Then, he spoke with a warm smile.
"City Lord, I wonder why you've gathered such a large force to come to my autonomous region?" Chen Mu emphasized the word 'autonomous'. At the same time, he had made up his mind. Wang Baole, since you're asking for trouble, don't blame me for taking this opportunity to diminish your prestige!
Seeing that his line of sight was blocked, Wang Baole glanced at Chen Mu. When their gazes met, the surroundings quickly quieted down. Almost all eyes were on the two of them.
"Chen …" Before Wang Baole could finish his sentence, Chen Mu interrupted him.
"If it's because of the appearance of the new Catacombs, I've already arranged for people to go over and help. Could it be that they've slacked off in any way?" Chen Mu smiled and looked at Wang Baole. Deep down, he was filled with disdain.
The cold glint in Wang Baole's eyes intensified the moment he was interrupted. He was about to speak, but similarly, before he could say anything, Chen Mu laughed.
"I don't think it's because of this matter, City Lord. Could it be because I didn't follow your second order? Please forgive me, City Lord. I'm really sorry. As you can see, the new district is currently under construction. Whether it's me or the others, we're all busy and have no time to care …
"After all, we're an autonomous region. Construction is more important than anything else. Therefore, City Lord, please understand." After he finished speaking, Chen Mu cupped his fists at Wang Baole and bowed again. From the beginning to the end, he had a smile on his face. His words were not sharp, and his attitude seemed to be good. However, the forceful intention of interrupting Wang Baole's words twice was revealed in his actions.
The expressions of the people around them changed. Kim Do-myung and Kongdao frowned. Lin Tianhao's eyes darkened. As for Li Waner, she sighed in her heart. All of this was not far from what she had expected.
Amidst everyone's different expressions, Wang Baole suddenly smiled. The smile on his face was like a blooming flower. Even his eyes were filled with admiration.
"I understand. This City Lord naturally understands. It's an autonomous region. It doesn't have a subordinate relationship with the new city. It exists separately. I know … it could even be said that if I took a few steps forward, it would be equivalent to entering your territory." Wang Baole laughed. Chen Mu was stunned. He was a little surprised by Wang Baole's sudden change in attitude.
However, before he could think about it, Wang Baole withdrew his smile and spoke indifferently.
"Lin Tianhao!"
"Your humble servant is here!" Lin Tianhao immediately stepped forward and bowed with his head lowered.
"Arrange for a wall to be built around the autonomous regions of District Head Chen, District Head Wen, and District Head Fang. Be careful when building this wall. Build it on the new city's boundary. Don't build it in their new districts." As soon as Wang Baole finished speaking, Lin Tianhao immediately understood and loudly acknowledged. Chen Mu's expression changed. After a moment of shock, everyone's eyes widened.
However, this was not the end. Wang Baole spoke again expressionlessly.
"Kongdao!"
"Your humble servant is here!" Kongdao immediately raised his head and looked at Wang Baole.
"Arrange for people to surround and seal off the wall. Don't allow anyone to enter or leave!"
As Wang Baole's words reverberated in the air, the crowd gasped. Chen Mu also reacted. His expression changed and he was about to speak, but this time, before he could say anything, he was immediately interrupted by Wang Baole. Wang Baole didn't even bother to put on a fake smile on his face. Instead, he spoke coldly.
"District Head Chen, aren't you self-governing? Fine, no problem. I, Wang Baole, can't control everything in your autonomous region. However, this is my territory. This is my new city. I'll help you self-govern, help you build the wall, and help you enclose yourselves in my new city. I'll tell you clearly that from now on, don't even think of taking half a step out. There's a formation in the airspace. Without my orders, no one can enter or leave. If I let even one of you fly out, I'll f * cking change my surname! "
