400 A Letter (1/2)

As Wang Baole basked in self-satisfaction, as Chen Mu and gang simmered in resentment, and as Li Wan'er fumed and threatened… the Five Generation Sky Clan, the Galactic Dusk Sect, as well as the Plume Manifestation Connate Sect received transmissions from their disciples. They found out what was happening in the new city and were instantly infuriated.

This was especially the case for the Five Generation Sky Clan, as an entire batch of their resources had been confiscated. They felt the pain of this extremely. In their anger, they reached out to the Federation President directly.

The Federation President seemed to view this matter seriously. He set up a special investigation team and even appointed the Martian Colony Governor as the team leader. They were to look into this matter specifically and conduct investigations.

It seemed like they were taking it seriously, but the Five Generation Sky Clan, the Galactic Dusk Sect, and the Plume Manifestation Connate Sect simply became more infuriated. They weren't the young, naive brat-like Chen Mu. The three political forces didn't lack intelligent people who were familiar with the rules of the Federation's game; they had plenty of people who were equally conniving and experienced in the game of Federation politics. They knew that this superficially forceful stance that the Federation was displaying was often simply a front for them to shirk and dodge further responsibilities in the future!

It was indeed what they had guessed. As the leader of the investigation team, the Martian Colony Governor set an investigation period of two weeks and promised to give everyone an answer within the two weeks.

Chen Mu and his gang fell into deeper misery. They had suffered a lockdown for some time. Outsiders hadn't been allowed entry, people inside weren't allowed to leave, and all resources had been confiscated. The Galactic Dusk Sect and Plume Manifestation Connate Sect, having witnessed the situation, had their transport cruisers turn back mid-journey.

A large majority of their cultivators were almost at their wits' end. If the situation were to persist for another two weeks, they would really be driven to the end of their ropes.

After all… most of them were at the Ancient Martial realm, the True Breath realm, and the Foundation Establishment realm. They weren't like the Core Formation realm cultivators, who could survive without food or water. Wheat and rice were still necessities of life for them. Water was another necessity as well.

Mars had its own filtration and generation system for drinking water, but it required a lot of energy to keep on running. After the zones had been sealed in, they started to face problems of not having enough energy. This meant that they had to ration their drinking water.

The cultivators inside the three autonomous zones at the moment were all affiliated with the three political forces. Since the three zones hadn't yet been fully constructed, residents unaffiliated with these political forces hadn't migrated to the zones. As a result, Wang Baole was utterly unsympathetic as he messed around with Chen Mu and his gang.

The three autonomous zones could soon bear it no longer, and they started to vocalize their sufferings. Chen Mu and the other two mayors were panicking and frantic as well. Li Wan'er was unable to do anything though. As a result, the political forces they were affiliated with requested the Head Senator to step in and resolve this matter.

Even the Federation President and the Martian Colony Governor had to treat the Head Senator with due respect. When he stepped in, the Governor finally gave him an explanation for this matter.

”Wang Baole is fully responsible for the security of the new city. Even I'm not allowed to interfere!” Alongside her message was a set of documents that were delivered to the senator at the same time.

The documents had been the set that Wang Baole had submitted. They dealt with the situation of the wall's erosion as well as his promised three-year timeline, which was the basis for his Military Warrant. The Head Senator fell silent after reading the documents. A moment later, his eyes started shining with a strange light. It was clear that this play of Wang Baole's had made the Head Senator reassess Wang Baole seriously for the first time.

”Chen Mu is no match for him!” The senator released the information, the message from the Governor, and his own assessment regarding the entire fiasco to the Five Generation Sky Clan, the Galactic Dusk Sect, and the Plume Manifestation Connate Sect. Then, he withdrew from the dispute entirely.

He knew that with the information holding true and the Military Warrant in effect, as long as the wall continued to be worn down at the current pace, and unless Wang Baole shot himself in the foot, his position was secure.

After receiving the Head Senator's reply, the Galactic Dusk Sect and Plume Manifestation Connate Sect immediately fell silent. The Galactic Dusk Sect was the swiftest in its reaction. It immediately contacted Wen Huai and told him to distance himself from Chen Mu. At the same time, he was to ally himself with Wang Baole. The sect knew their existing tensions with Wang Baole. In place of the Sect Lord, who was temporarily exiled in seclusion as punishment, the few elders temporarily taking charge of the sect did some research and decided to increase the quantity of resources they were providing Divine Armament New City.

At the same time, they also acknowledged and supported Wang Baole's decision to consolidate all resources for reallocation under the temporary military rule.

Wen Huai's autonomous zone didn't require as many resources, so the reason for the excess in resources needed no further explanation. Such a move showed the Galactic Dusk Sect's decisiveness and boldness. When Wen Huai received the message from his sect, he bit the bullet and sent a voice transmission to Wang Baole, explaining what his sect was going to do. Wang Baole was momentarily stunned.

The Galactic Dusk Sect is indeed something.Wang Baole narrowed his eyes. He was inwardly pleased with how the Galactic Dusk Sect was handling this matter. However, he felt that he could still try and get something more out of this. He coughed and sent Wen Huai a voice transmission.

”Wen Huai, the work in the new zone is overwhelming. You're still young and growing, and I'm worried you can't cope on your own.” Wang Baole hinted.

Wen Huai fell silent. He wasn't a fool. He knew what Wang Baole was trying to say. In the past, he might have resisted violently, but now, seeing how his own sect yielded, he felt no shame in doing the same. He smiled wryly and said.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
