It would have been better if Kim Do-myung hadn't said that, but the moment he did, Wang Baole was immediately alarmed and suspicious. Seeing Wang Baole's reaction, Kim Do-myung quickly waved his right hand and took out a Dharmic Armament from his storage bracelet.
The Dharmic Armament was a flying sword!
It was crimson in color, and the moment it was taken out, it immediately emitted waves of heat. There seemed to be a faint, sharp sound reverberating in the air. In the heat waves, one could even see the illusory figure of a humongous firebird behind Kim Do-myung. It swept up a vast sea of flames, as though it wanted to burn everything.
This was also a seventh-grade Dharmic Armament!
The moment he saw the Dharmic Armament, Wang Baole's eyes lit up. He knew the value of a Dharmic Armament very well. Although the flying sword was a seventh-grade Dharmic Armament like the battle saber, it was clearly better than the battle saber. This difference could be seen from the suppressive aura emanating from the Dharmic Armament.
And with the Dharmic Armament in front of him, he couldn't be bothered with whether Kim Do-myung's words were a trap. In Wang Baole's opinion, even if there was a trap, so what? If the trap was too big, he could just go back and ask for another Dharmic Armament. This was the benefit of being friends with a tycoon.
Wang Baole was satisfied and immediately nodded in agreement with Kim Do-myung's words. In fact, Kim Do-myung also knew that such verbal promises couldn't be trusted, but it was better than nothing. Even though his heart ached, he could only sigh and throw the flying sword to Wang Baole. At the same time, he lamented that he must have owed this Wang Baole in his previous life. Otherwise, why would he repeatedly give him Dharmic Armaments?
"I'll just treat it as an investment!" With this thought, Kim Do-myung felt much better.
Just like that, the two of them boarded the cruiser and headed straight for the new city. On the way, Wang Baole played with the flying sword and even did some simple research. Immediately, he could tell the difference between the two Dharmic Armaments. Coupled with his gains from the research base, he couldn't wait to immediately enter seclusion to do some deeper research.
In fact, Wang Baole had a feeling that he would definitely have a breakthrough in the refinement of Dharmic armaments after this seclusion!
With such anticipation, the cruiser sped along, getting closer and closer to the new city. As for Kim Do-myung, while Wang Baole was researching the Dharmic Armament, he was also thinking about his own plan. In reality, the main reason he had come to Mars was because of his father's request to pay attention to the Divine Armament Catacombs. On the other hand, it was also because he was trying and working hard for the right to inherit the family.
After all, he wasn't the only one with the right of succession, so he had to be prepared in advance. Compared to the choices of the other heirs, Kim Do-myung's original plan was to firmly hold on to the interests of Mars. However, because of his grandfather's reminder, he had to interact more with Wang Baole. That was why they had come into contact with each other when they first arrived on Mars.
And looking at it now, this investment was extremely worth it. It could be said that this was the most important step for him to take in the Mars situation!
"However, how did the old man determine that Wang Baole would be able to soar to the top on Mars?" Kim Do-myung was very puzzled about this point. He couldn't figure it out, but he also understood that if the old man didn't take the initiative to say it, even if he admired him, he wouldn't get an answer no matter how much he asked.
"This Wang Baole is quite interesting …" At this thought, Kim Do-myung looked at Wang Baole, who was researching the Dharmic Armament. He thought about the series of events that had happened after this guy came to Mars. While he felt a little jealous, he was also very impressed.
Just like that, one of them researched the Dharmic Armament, while the other studied Wang Baole. Time gradually passed, and soon, the new city of Mars appeared in front of the cruiser.
As the cruiser approached, it slowly landed in Kim Do-myung's regional spaceport. Even though Wang Baole had secretly gone out this time, Lin Tianhao and many people from the four major Dao Colleges were still waiting at the spaceport.
When Wang Baole walked out of the cruiser, he immediately saw Lin Tianhao with a smile on his face. He also saw the familiar faces around him, and a sense of familiarity instantly welled up in his heart. Especially when he looked at the surrounding buildings, the feeling that this was his city made Wang Baole feel high-spirited.
"Welcome, City Lord!" Lin Tianhao said loudly. The people behind him also cupped their fists.
Wang Baole smiled and nodded at the crowd. He was about to announce the results of the trip and inform everyone that the experimental base would be built there. However, just as he was about to open his mouth, he suddenly frowned. His gaze landed on a Foundation Establishment realm cultivator from the four Dao Colleges who had come to greet him!
He was a middle-aged man, and his expression was one of respect. There was passion in his eyes, and he looked exactly the same as Wang Baole remembered him to be. The only difference was that … there was a faint wisp of Dark Qi emanating from him. It was faint, but to Wang Baole's eyes, it was clear as day!
This caused Wang Baole's pupils to contract abruptly. Just as he was about to take a closer look, he suddenly sensed that there were as many as five people exuding Dark Qi in the crowd!
This scene caused Wang Baole's heart to skip a beat. If there was only one, it could be considered an accident. However, there were five of them in the crowd, and that was terrifying. Therefore, Wang Baole didn't act rashly. He quickly retracted his gaze and maintained his smile. However, he wasn't in the mood to announce the experimental base. Instead, he left the spaceport with Lin Tianhao.
Along the way, Lin Tianhao stayed by Wang Baole's side and reported all sorts of things that had happened in the city over the past few days.
As he listened to Lin Tianhao's report, Wang Baole appeared to be calm. However, he also carefully observed Lin Tianhao. After confirming that there was no Dark Qi on Lin Tianhao's body, Wang Baole secretly heaved a sigh of relief. They stepped onto the cruiser that returned to the City Lord's office. As the group of people moved forward, Wang Baole stood at the edge of the cruiser. His expression didn't change at all. However, he had secretly used his authority to integrate himself into the array formation and began to observe the entire city.
After integrating himself into the array formation, Wang Baole immediately sensed that his Baole Array was filled with Dark Qi. This Dark Qi didn't come from the Catacombs. It came from the countless cultivators in his city …
It came from their bodies and was absorbed by the Baole Array. This made Wang Baole's heart tremble. He immediately checked the Great Martian Array in the city. Based on his sensitivity to Dark Qi, he immediately sensed a similar aura within the Great Martian Array.
"Something's not right!" Wang Baole's breathing quickened. When he turned to look at Lin Tianhao, Lin Tianhao was talking about the Art of Longevity.
"There's also the Art of Longevity. This cultivation method appeared out of nowhere and spread very quickly. Although there were no abnormalities after we checked, we decided with the Deputy City Lord to control its spread." As soon as Lin Tianhao said this, Wang Baole's eyes narrowed. He didn't interrupt Lin Tianhao. Instead, he continued to listen to Lin Tianhao's report. When they arrived at the City Lord's office, Wang Baole suddenly gave the order not to go to the office but to return to his residence.
When the cruiser arrived at his residence, Wang Baole walked out as usual and allowed Lin Tianhao and the others to leave. After he entered his residence, his expression became extremely solemn. He immediately activated the array formation and entered the seclusion area. When he sat down cross-legged, Wang Baole once again used his authority to enter the array formation.
When he used the array formation in the new city and once again sensed the presence of Dark Qi in the bodies of a large number of cultivators in the city, Wang Baole's expression darkened. He took out the Art of Longevity that Lin Tianhao had passed to him. After comparing it, he found some clues.
"There's no problem with this cultivation method … There's no problem cultivating it anywhere else. Only in this new city, in this catacombs filled with Dark Qi, there'll be a huge problem!"
"This is to take advantage of the fact that the Great Mars Array needs to absorb everyone's aura to send this Dark Qi into the Great Mars Array … This can't be done by the Federation. Most likely, it's the Divine Armament Catacombs … But the Divine Armament Catacombs are all ferocious beasts without intelligence. How could they have such a plan?" This was what made Wang Baole the most wary. After some thought, he felt that the most important thing now was to resolve the Dark Qi in the cultivators of the Art of Longevity in the new city!
Compared to finding the mastermind behind this, this was the most urgent matter. After all, as long as the array formation was unshakeable, the stability of the new city would be in an invincible position. This was the foundation.
"Maybe I can kill two birds with one stone and make the mastermind appear on his own accord!" After some thought, Wang Baole immediately made a decision. He was going to be bold and decisive and alert the enemy!
However, before that, he had to make some preparations and refine some special Dharmic artifacts. Fortunately, this entire city was, in fact, a huge Indestructible City. In the core, which only Wang Baole could come into contact with, there were a large number of construction-type puppets. Therefore, in terms of refining Dharmic artifacts, Wang Baole had the advantage!
