334 Rescue! (2/2)

”This region… seems to be in the vicinity of the Divine Armament…” The few who had been alarmed earlier looked at each other. The coincidence made them wary.

Wang Baole froze when he heard that. He suddenly remembered the selection for the Federation's hundred seedlings. There had been news then of Kong Dao's contribution to the Federation through his discovery of what might seem to be the resting place of a Divine Armament on Mars.

Divine Armament… Wang Baole raised his head abruptly and stared at the spirit screen.

”We must act immediately…” the Governor stared at the location marked out by the red light then said calmly. There was a considering look in her eyes. The Deputy Governor, the giant tree, had a somber look on his face as well. He turned towards the Governor and nodded slightly, then spoke in a low voice.

”Governor, I've not had the chance to prove myself since I arrived on Mars. Let me take part in this mission. I want to find out what is the cause for the recent happenings!”

Everyone looked at the Governor after the giant tree spoke. The Governor had her own considerations. Her duty was to protect the Martian Colony City, so leaving the city should be her last resort. It was, therefore, most appropriate for the Deputy Governor to lead the rescue mission. He was similarly at the perfected Core Formation realm.

After some thought, she nodded her approval, and a rescue team was soon put together. The giant tree would lead the team. The military had also included three Core Formation realm cultivators, with Chen Feng being one of them.

There were also a number of Foundation Establishment realm cultivators in the team. The team numbered more than fifty members.

Wang Baole was still concerned about the personal grudges the giant tree had against him. However, he still requested to be part of the team after some thought. The Governor gave his request some thought and agreed. She gave the Deputy Governor a deep, meaningful look before the team set off.

”My Cassia comrade, I hope there will be no accidents during this mission. Else, we will not be able to avoid the Federation's direct investigation into the matter. After all… the mission's location is not far… from where the Divine Armament purports to be.”

The giant tree lowered his head in acquiescence. However, he was secretly alarmed. Others might not have understood the underlying message, but he was the Deputy Governor. He had fought the Federation President. With his cunning, he naturally understood the warning in the Governor's words.

I have nothing against the others. The only person I might hold a grudge against is Wang Baole. Is she trying to tell me not to try anything?

She's truly underestimated me… The giant tree smiled, and his eyes flashed. He wouldn't harm Wang Baole now, not with so many eyes focused on them and with what they were about to do. It was a clumsy and foolish way of accomplishing one's goals.

Besides, his intention was to carry out the mission flawlessly. He hoped to make a good impression and establish a good name for himself on Mars. He wanted to use this opportunity to gain the Federation's trust.

In reality… since he had joined the Federation, he had come to realize that Federation politics… weren't as simple as they seemed. The complexities ran deep!Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

He recalled what he had heard a few days earlier about something called an Anti-Spirit Bomb. It sent him reeling in shock. At the same time, his interest in the Federation's secrets grew.

The military would identify talents every year and send them to a mysterious place which nobody else knew about…

Not to mention the plans to colonize the ancient green-bronze sword…

Besides… is there really no Nascent Soul realm cultivator in the Federation? I thought so in the past, but now… I'm not so sure. There was a glimmer in the giant tree's eyes. He concealed his thoughts. He knew that what was most important at this moment was to prove himself.

The Martian Colony Governor and the others saw them off as they boarded a large cruiser and took off into the Martian sky. Within the cruiser was the giant tree, the other Core Formation realm, and Foundation Establishment realm cultivators… as well as Wang Baole!

The donkey was at Wang Baole's side as well. It seemed to sense the tension in the air and the terrifying presence of the giant tree and the other Core Formation realm cultivators. It sprawled quietly and obediently at Wang Baole's side and gave nobody trouble.

Wang Baole wasn't reckless with his own safety. Before they set off, he took out his voice transmission ring and reported where he would be going to the Ethereal Dao College's Sect Lord. He did it right in front of the giant tree.

His mind was set to ease after he had done that. He looked out towards the snow and ice-laden lands of the Martian planet. He muttered inwardly.

Lin Tianhao, hold on!
