383 Forever on the No-Hire List! (2/2)
Just as everyone joined forces and was able to push the Beast Tide back, establishing a stalemate in the battle, a fearsome, thunderous roar louder than the previous suddenly erupted from inside the catacombs.
The thunderous boom was accompanied by the sounds of crackling, like the sounds of ice rapidly spreading through the catacombs. It was as if a giant hand was reaching outwards from the depths of the new catacombs. Where it passed, the surrounding walls turned to ice.
The beasts fighting to get out were all affected by the chill and immediately turned to ice. The giant hand surged forward, exuding a terrifying and overpowering aura. The surrounding cultivators, including those at the Core Formation realm, were all alarmed.
They were caught in a tight spot. Wang Baole's seal wasn't yet completed. Wang Baole's breathing quickened. He knew that if they couldn't hold back the beasts, they would have no choice but to notify the Governor.
He was unwilling to do that unless he had absolutely no other choice. An icy glint flashed in his eyes. He uttered the first few words of the scripture in his heart!
”Enlightened…”
Those words echoed inside Wang Baole's heart. A familiar presence suddenly erupted in the distant heavens. This was different from what had happened in the past. Wang Baole could sense clearly… eyes from the distant regions of the universe opening and gazing over suddenly.
My god… did I wake it? Wang Baole shuddered. He had no time to think though, as the awesome presence traveled through the universe and descended. The giant hand that had been stretching out madly and without fear suddenly shuddered violently. It seemed to be terrified and dared not move forward. Instead, it shrank back hastily, like a mouse that had just seen a cat!
Everyone was shocked at the sight. They released a breath of relief, and an indescribable feeling arose in their hearts. They had felt the unbelievable presence as well. They looked at Wang Baole with a strange and curious look in their eyes.
However, they were at a critical stage in their attempt to seal the new catacombs. No one had time to think further. They made use of the sudden oppressive presence and intensified their resistance against the Beast Tide. Wang Baole seized the opening as well and completed the sealing!
The strands of the array formation finally transformed into a complete web over the new catacombs. The beasts were trapped inside, and while they kept attacking the seat, they couldn't nudge it.
Wang Baole let loose a breath of relief. He quickly organized the cultivators to exterminate the beasts that had escaped. He also issued an order to Lin Tianhao to get the cultivators from the other three zones to comb through the western zone, starting from the perimeter and moving inwards in their search. They were to ensure that not a single beast remained.
From the start of the incident, beginning with the zone-wide hunt to the final verification that no beasts remained in the western zone, the entire incident spanned four hours. It was after the four hours had passed that the furious reprimand from the Governor finally arrived.
The Governor had clearly been informed that the danger had been resolved. She was therefore focused on finding out the cause of this incident. Wang Baole didn't speak a single word. Instead, he looked at Kong Dao and Jin Duoming.
Kong Dao had witnessed Wang Baole driving back the Beast Tide and resolving the situation. He was silent for a while before the scene of his earlier rescue by Wang Baole surfaced in his mind. His feelings and views towards Wang Baole were complicated, but he had to admit that he did have a certain degree of admiration towards Wang Baole.
He inhaled a deep breath and reported everything from his own perspective and stance: how Li Yi had unilaterally modified the city plans, how that had sparked off the Beast Tide, and how everything had been resolved. He shared everything he knew in detail.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
Jin Duoming shook his head and smiled wryly. He didn't make any statements regarding the matter, but that in itself spoke volumes about what truly happened. Lin Tianhao, who had been standing at one side, handed over the evidence he had gathered to the Governor. He also handed over a jade slip that contained the contents of their initial meeting, which Wang Baole had instructed that he recorded. The facts were laid out clearly before the Governor.
The Governor remained silent for a moment. Then, she issued an immediate order to strip Li Yi of her vice mayorship. She was to be transferred out of Mars, and would never again resume office on Mars!
