As soon as Wang Baole spoke, the surrounding crowd, who already had different expressions on their faces, widened their eyes and held their breaths. Even those who were more composed felt their hearts skip a beat. They felt that Wang Baole's move was not only unexpected, but also extremely vicious, just like his personality.
It was indeed as Wang Baole had said. Didn't they talk about autonomy every time they opened their mouths? Didn't they rely on the fact that they were managed by both the Federation and the Martian Colony Governor without any affiliation with the new city? Didn't they disobey orders and act arrogantly and perfunctorily …
Fine, I'll seal you up and build high walls to surround your three districts. This was another way of using the Circlet Prison. At this moment, it was enough to unleash a shocking effect.
Chen Mu and the other two were powerless to resist. In reality, Wang Baole was right. In his order, the wall that Lin Tianhao built was built on the new city's territory. It didn't encroach on Chen Mu and the other two's districts at all. The way he acted like a hooligan, clearly telling Chen Mu and the other two that he was building walls in his own territory, made the surrounding people understand Wang Baole even more.
"Vicious, this is too vicious!"
"This is simply vicious and sinister. Chen Mu and the other two must be crazy. Why did they provoke Wang Baole?"
"This Wang Baole is not to be trifled with. I've seen through this fellow. He's full of evil tricks!" The surrounding people didn't dare to open their mouths to discuss. Only those who were on good terms with each other communicated telepathically to express their shock at Wang Baole's move.
As for Lin Tianhao and Kongdao, they had already understood Wang Baole's intentions the moment they heard Wang Baole's order. Even they took a few glances at Wang Baole. Kongdao had already made up his mind to never make an enemy of Wang Baole again. This vicious move of Wang Baole's made him understand what it meant to be vicious …
Lin Tianhao almost slapped his thigh in praise. He had been having a headache about how to deal with this matter on the way here. In reality, he knew very well that he was already completely tied to Wang Baole. They were bound together for good or ill. Now, seeing how Chen Mu and the other two looked as if they had eaten sh * t after hearing Wang Baole's words, Lin Tianhao felt much better.
"So that guy surnamed Chen only has such little tricks. When I was young, my father actually used him as my role model. It seems like my father's judgment of people isn't good." While Lin Tianhao was feeling proud, Kim Do-myung came back to his senses. He took a deep breath and smiled. There was no doubt that he didn't like Chen Mu and the other two. The cake wasn't made by the three of them. As the ones who came to share the cake, they were actually arrogant and uncooperative. This annoyed him.
However, compared to Kongdao and the others, Li Waner's expression changed instantly. She wanted to say something, but she couldn't find any fault with Wang Baole's handling of this matter. After all, everyone saw how arrogant Chen Mu and the other two were.
"He's digging a hole. Wang Baole has a habit of digging holes for others. This was mentioned in the investigation of Li Yi's incident!" Li Waner frowned. She knew very well that this wasn't the time to speak up and help, so she remained silent.
Compared to them, Chen Mu and the other two were the ones whose expressions changed greatly. Whether it was Wen Huai or Fang Jing, they were breathing rapidly. While they were shocked by Wang Baole's words, they immediately looked at Chen Mu, their hearts filled with anxiety and anger.
Chen Mu's expression was extremely ugly. At this moment, he stared at Wang Baole, countless thoughts flashing through his mind. He wanted to find a way to neutralize Wang Baole's move, but it was so unexpected that no matter how fast his mind worked, he couldn't think of a way to deal with it. He could only take a deep breath, catch the problem with Wang Baole's tone, and immediately speak up.
"Castellan Wang, you're dissatisfied with our autonomy and the Federation's decision. You actually said that you want to lock us down. Very well, I'll definitely report this to the Federation. When the time comes …"
Chen Mu's reaction could be said to be extremely fast. Even if he didn't think of a way to deal with it, the moment he opened his mouth, he caught the problem with Wang Baole's tone from before. He was about to bring it up, but before he could finish speaking, Wang Baole smiled again and spoke calmly.
"With the new Catacombs eruption, I'm afraid that there might be remaining beasts that haven't been cleared out. In order to protect the three autonomous regions, from now on, everything will be strictly managed and militarized. I hope that Mayor Chen, Mayor Wen, and Mayor Fang will cooperate!" After he finished speaking, Wang Baole didn't even turn his head. He didn't even look at Chen Mu and the other two whose expressions were changing again and again. Under the respectful gazes of the people around him, he turned and left.
And his last words directly sealed off Chen Mu's unfinished words. Even if he knew that Wang Baole had randomly found a reason, it was still a reason that no one could refute.
"Don't you know how to bring it up? Sure, I'll use it for you too. You're a Primary Rank Four Noble, and you want to fight with me, a Primary Rank Three Noble? You must have shit in your head. Let's see who can't take it anymore and call me daddy first!" After he left, Wang Baole felt smug. He strode back to his office. As soon as he returned, he received a voice transmission from Li Waner, who wanted to meet him.
In response, Wang Baole directly rejected her and ignored her. He went into seclusion and continued to study how to refine Dharmic Armaments. Wang Baole believed that Lin Tianhao's methods would be able to carry out his orders perfectly.
In reality, this was indeed the case. Lin Tianhao, who deeply understood that he was now tied to Wang Baole, wasted no time. He immediately organized the manpower and started the construction of the city wall. At the same time, he added in some of his own ideas. He was prepared to build the city wall to a height of several hundred feet!
The speed of a cultivator's construction was astonishing. Therefore, very soon, Chen Mu and the other two were filled with anger and helplessness. They could only watch helplessly as a gigantic city wall the size of a mountain rose from the ground and took shape.
Judging from the speed of construction, it would take at most a day to be fully formed. And now, even though it was just a prototype, it was still astonishing when viewed from the sky. One could clearly see that this gigantic city wall had already enveloped the area where Chen Mu and the other two were. If one didn't understand the situation, they would definitely think that this area surrounded by the city wall was a prison on Mars.
After all … outside the city wall, Kongdao had arranged for a large number of cultivators to guard it. These cultivators faced the three districts and were obviously on high alert, preventing anyone from entering or leaving.
And this matter quickly spread throughout the city. When countless people in the new city heard about it, they were all shocked by Wang Baole's actions. While there was a lot of discussion, Wen Huai and Fang Jing became even more anxious. They knew very well that this couldn't go on. If this went on for too long, it would have a huge impact. In response, Chen Mu fell silent. He wanted to seek help from his family, but he put this thought aside in the end.
"I've just arrived, and I'm already asking my family for help when I encounter a problem. I, Chen Mu, still have some dignity!" Chen Mu's expression was gloomy. After pondering for a moment, he immediately took out a jade slip and contacted the Federation government to complain that Wang Baole was abusing his power and interfering with the construction of the autonomous region. At the same time, he also sent Wen Huai and Fang Jing to contact the Martian Colony Governor.
He wanted to resolve this matter head-on!
While the conflict between the two parties was intense and the city wall was about to be completed, no one noticed that outside the new city, in the catacombs area that had just been suppressed, as the corpses of the ferocious beasts were cleaned up and the construction of the new base began, a piece of flesh that had disappeared earlier was slowly wriggling. It grew bigger and bigger in the soil until it finally took on the shape of a human. A hand slowly reached out from the soil.
There seemed to be a strange power emanating from this hand, causing everyone around to ignore it. They allowed this hand to slowly push against the ground as its entire body crawled out from the soil.
It seemed to be a little unaccustomed to this body. After crawling out from the soil, the person stood there and moved its body slightly, forming a strange shape. After a while, the figure seemed to have gotten used to this body. Slowly, a black robe appeared around its body. After it covered its entire body, the corners of its mouth, which were shrouded by the black robe, twitched slightly.
"Finally, I'm out." When the hoarse voice came from its mouth, the figure slowly raised its head. There was a strange light in its eyes as it looked at the new city.
Through the corner of the sky, one could see that the face under the black robe was full of wrinkles … After a long time, the figure lowered its head. With a flash of its body, it disappeared. It seemed to have gone to the new city …
