Time flew by. Soon, three days passed!

The city wall sealing the three autonomous zones had been fully constructed the day before. Under Lin Tianhao’s supervision, the height of the wall had been increased compared to what had been previously planned. From afar, it looked like a real mountain range, and its height surpassed the tallest building within the three autonomous zones. It was clear that the scale of its construction was considerable.

The new city had no lack of resources and human labor. Regardless of how much thicker or taller the walls were to be made, it could be accomplished within a short period of time. After the construction had been completed, Lin Tianhao hadn’t considered at all how Chen Mu and his people must be feeling inside their city zones. However, he guessed they must be feeling intense pressure looking at the three-hundred-odd meters tall giant wall.

In fact, that was indeed the case…

Wen Huai was about to go mad. He saw the towering walls and felt immense pressure. It felt as if he and his people had become real criminals who were trapped and imprisoned inside.

Fang Jing felt the same as well. The expression on her face was dark, and her unhappiness wasn’t only directed towards Wang Baole but also towards Chen Mu. Based on hers and Wen Huai’s original plans, they hadn’t found the need to create such a tense relationship with Wang Baole after they arrived and began their self-governance of their autonomous zones. However, Chen Mu had been filled with self-confidence. The two, in their hesitation and uncertainty, hadn’t resisted against his ideas.

At present, Wang Baole had only given them a small taste of what he was capable of, and they were already feeling miserable because of that. Despite their contacting the Federation and the Martian administration, neither had come back quickly with their responses. This made their heads throb even harder.

Chen Mu was having a headache as well. He had similarly made a complaint to the Federation about Wang Baole. He had even sent a voice transmission to the Martian Colony Governor to lodge a report against him. He had heard nothing from either… and he didn’t feel comfortable chasing for replies repeatedly. He watched as three days passed. The walls beyond their autonomous zones towered like mountains, seeming to block light from shining in. Chen Mu began to panic as well.

If this had been the end of it… he might have tried to tolerate the situation and wait for the Federation and the Martian administration to handle this matter. However, he had no idea what Lin Tianhao was thinking. After the wall had been built, he seemed to feel that it hadn’t been tall enough. He had gone to Wang Baole and requested to increase its height further.

Wang Baole had felt that he shouldn’t kill Lin Tianhao’s enthusiastic work attitude and had nodded in approval. Upon receiving Wang Baole’s support, Lin Tianhao had immediately perked up and ordered for the height of the city walls to be increased!

I’m anticipating the City Lord’s concerns and worries and echoing his cheer when he’s happy. Through this incident, I’ll be able to make my alliance clear to the City Lord and improve our relationship on a deeper level! Lin Tianhao had been pleased with his actions. Since becoming Wang Baole’s follower, he had come to understand where he stood. He also knew that he had no reason to compete with Liu Daobin.

Liu Daobin is only an administrator. What I’m trying to be… is someone who gets things done, and who is irreplaceable!

Lin Tianhao began bustling again. Chen Mu and gang were driven further into madness as they watched the walls grow taller and taller. Countless cultivators continued building the wall through the day and night. The pressure on the three mounted. At this rate, they worried that Lin Tianhao was going to build a giant lid for the three autonomous zones…

“This Lin Tianhao, he’s just a lapdog!”

“Wang Baole only said to build a wall. This Lin Tianhao is too much. Is he building a stone coffin for us? Is he trying to seal us in?”

Chen Mu and his gang weren’t the only ones frantic and terrified. The cultivators inside their zones who were from the various political forces had all been shocked by Lin Tianhao’s crazy actions. Everyone began cursing him in their hearts. Chen Mu and his gang could no longer keep a lid on their anger. They led their people to the walls and were prepared to disregard the city walls and force their way out.

At the precise moment when they were about to charge out, numerous cultivators guarding the city walls dashed over. They surrounded the walls instantly. Lin Tianhao’s figure appeared on the city wall. He stared down at Chen Mu and his people and said coolly.

“Mayor Chen, stop!”

“Lin Tianhao, you dare stop me!” Chen Mu raised his head and stared unblinkingly at Lin Tianhao. A cold glint flickered in his eyes.

“Stop you?” Lin Tianhao raised his eyebrow. His eyes narrowed, and his voice echoed in the air.

“The City Lord has ordered. There are still monsters running amuck after the new catacombs appeared. To ensure the safety of the autonomous zones, military rule will be enforced. Without the necessary approval, no one is to enter or leave the autonomous zones!”

“Lin Tianhao, are you trying to make complete enemies out of the Five Generation Sky Clan?” Chen Mu didn’t bother mincing his words when speaking to Lin Tianhao. The cold light in his eyes intensified, and his cultivation began to spread from his person.

Wen Huai, Fang Jing, and the cultivators standing behind them did the same. They looked ready to battle.

Lin Tianhao only snorted at the sight. He finished the second part of what he had wanted to say.

“Those who disobey his orders will be executed!”

“You dare to do that!” Chen Mu hollered. He was about to leap into the air when Lin Tianhao sent his hand sweeping across the air. The cultivation of the cultivators who had been guarding the walls immediately erupted, and many of them whipped out their Dharmic Artifacts. If Chen Mu and the other two mayors dared to charge out, they would have no qualms squashing them.

At that moment, the auras of the various Core Formation realm cultivators locked onto the Core Formation realm cultivators inside Chen Mu and his gang’s autonomous zones. Their cultivations clashed. Even Wang Baole ended his seclusion. With a wave of his hand, he observed everything through the new city’s array formation. Anticipation shone in his eyes.

There was tension in the air. A fight could break out anytime. Chen Mu’s face was stiff and brimming with anger. It appeared like he was about to strike. It was then that a figure dashed towards them from the distant walls. It appeared instantly. It was Li Wan’er.

“Enough!” Li Wan’er appeared, anger clear on her face. She shouted, but her shout wasn’t directed only at Lin Tianhao, it was also directed at Chen Mu and his gang.

Lin Tianhao was reluctant to step down, but Li Wan’er was the Deputy City Lord, after all. He lowered his head and took a few steps back. Chen Mu, upon seeing Li Wan’er’s arrival, seemed to have rediscovered his courage. He was about to leap into the air when Li Wan’er turned and glared at him.

Her eyes were colored with displeasure and exasperation, which caused Chen Mu to freeze. The expression on his face darkened as well.

“Mayor Chen and the rest, please return. I will handle this matter!”

“City Lord Li, City Lord Wang’s actions have severely harmed the autonomous zones’ normal operations!” Chen Mu was filled with agitation. He felt that if Li Wan’er had made a stronger stance in this incident, Wang Baole would definitely back down. From how he saw it, with the support of himself and the other two mayors, Li Wan’er could arm wrestle Wang Baole for power. Even though she might not gain a complete win, she might still be able to wrestle some degree of power from Wang Baole.

“This matter…” Li Wan’er frowned. She was about to speak when suddenly, whooshing sounds came from the distant skies. Li Wan’er lifted her head. Soon, everyone, including numerous cultivators from the new city saw a dozen gigantic transport cruisers heading their way from a distance.

The dozen cruisers had the symbol of the Five Generation Sky Clan on them. They were clearly delivering the latest batch of resources. Prior to the completion of the city walls, the cruisers would make a trip once every two weeks. They always landed inside the autonomous zones. Besides resources and materials for city construction, they also contained large quantities of resources and materials for cultivation.

At present, the cruisers did what they normally did and gradually approached the new city. Before they could head towards the autonomous zones though, a gigantic glowing array formation descended from the skies and spread out, blanketing the dozen cruisers. It stopped the cruisers outside the autonomous zones and trapped them within the array formation. The cruisers couldn’t move forward, nor could they leave.

The scene alarmed Chen Mu and his gang. The Five Generation Sky Clan cultivators inside the cruisers were equally stunned. Before they could react, Kong Dao, who was responsible for clearing the air space and in charge of the new city’s military, brought his people and leaped straight into the sky, appearing before the dozen cruisers.

“In accordance with the City Lord’s orders, new catacombs have appeared. Military rule will be enforced. All cruisers are prohibited from entering and leaving the zones. Anyone who disobeys the orders will be shot down!”

After saying that, he wasted no time with unnecessary words. He immediately ordered for the cruisers to be taken in. They were forced to land at a designated landing ground. The dozen cruisers were surrounded by the military, trapped and restrained by the power of the array formation. To prevent any mishaps, Wang Baole, who was sitting inside his office, activated his control over the array formation. The cruisers could instantly feel the threat emanating from the array formation. After a short moment of silence, they didn’t try to resist.

After they got out of their cruisers, they realized that Kong Dao and his army were going to forcibly confiscate the resources they had transported over. A perfected Foundation Establishment realm elder from the Five Generation Sky Clan who had been leading the transport cruisers immediately flew into a rage.

“Who dares to touch the resources of the Five Generation Sky Clan? Is it Wang Baole? Ask him to see me!”

As soon as this elder spoke, the array formation over the entire city rumbled. From afar, it seemed as if countless bolts of lightning were criss-crossing in the air. They formed an indistinct face. From the looks of it, the face was Wang Baole.

The face formed through the array formation. When it appeared, it exuded an overpowering presence. The force of its presence weighed down on the raging elder instantly. The elder, who had been furious a moment earlier, was immediately alarmed.

As emotions flashed across his face, through the aid of the city’s array formation, Wang Baole’s voice rang in the skies.

“You wanted to see me?”
