404 A Video Showing Only Darkness... (1/2)

Wang Baole was still frantically monitoring the Zhuo family incident in Divine Armament New City. He received Kong Dao's voice transmission and realized how the entire incident had happened. He realized that Chen Mu was the real mastermind!

Chen Mu, you've got some guts! An icy glint flashed in Wang Baole's eyes. He had only harbored a dislike towards Chen Mu in the past. He had instinctively found the other man repelling. However, he hadn't really hated the man. That was why he had only pressured him until the other had yielded and hadn't continued to pursue the matter after.

Now though, his feelings towards Chen Mu were completely different. Chen Mu had dared to hurt his friend. It was as if he had left a thorn in his heart. Now, whenever Wang Baole saw Chen Mu, he would remember this incident. The best way to solve this problem was to kick Chen Mu off of Mars!

Wang Baole also heard Zhuo Yifan's message from Kong Dao, that he was going to go to the Moon and train. After hearing that, he fell silent for a moment, then sighed. He didn't know what had happened to Zhuo Yifan in the Zhuo family, but he could guess that the impact on Zhuo Yifan must have been great. He respected Zhuo Yifan's decision. After all, in this Spirit Inception Era… while there was still law and order on Earth, Wang Baole, who had climbed his way up to a Primary Rank Three Noble, was beginning to understand the one true law that the Federation inclined towards—the law of the strongest.

The strongest referred to both one's status as well as one's cultivation. Both aided and supported the other; neither could be done without. Those who had the former would naturally get the latter, usually.

After all, under the law of the strongest, the strong would devour the weak. This was the unchanging law of the Dao Universe!

It all boils down to cultivation! Wang Baole took a deep breath. He lifted his head and stared in the direction of the Moon. A moment later, he retracted his gaze. He turned his eyes toward the direction of Chen Mu's autonomous zone. His eyes slowly narrowed, and a faint Dark Qi that was indiscernible to others glowed in Wang Baole's eyes.

It might be pure coincidence, but when Wang Baole turned and gazed at the autonomous zone, Chen Mu instantly raised his head. He clenched his teeth and glared in the direction of Wang Baole's office, the veins in his eyes filling with blood instantly. He had an appearance of extreme viciousness and madness about him.

”Wang Baole!” Chen Mu roared. He almost shattered the jade slip in his hand!

This jade slip was the result of his deal with Zhuo Yixian. After he had arranged for someone to have Zhuo Yifan brought back to the Zhuo family, Zhuo Yixian had sent it over. As if to prove that he didn't make a copy, Zhuo Yixian had someone bring the original jade slip to Chen Mu.

This jade slip was the one that contained the video recorded by the Colony Disciplinary Order of the heretic cultivator's cave abode. Zhuo Yixian had taken it and sent it back to his family clan for restoration. The restoration hadn't been complete despite the expertise and resources of the Zhuo family, but most of it had been restored.

Chen Mu immediately viewed it after receiving the jade slip. Upon viewing it, he almost exploded. The video was extremely clear at first. He held his breath as he saw Wang Baole's big face and Li Wan'er's expressionless one. He noticed that the two of them were inside a secret chamber.

He already couldn't take that. Then, the screen turned dark. He couldn't see anything, but he could hear Wang Baole's and Li Wan'er's voices!

”Wang Baole, take off your clothes.” When Chen Mu heard this, the green veins on his forehead started pulsating. He was on the verge of madness. He could tell that it was Li Wan'er's voice.

That slut, she was the one who made the first move! Chen Mu stopped himself from shattering the jade slip. He gritted his teeth and continued listening. Soon, he heard the next part of their conversation.

”Don't think about silly things. We haven't reached the moment for one last hurrah before our deaths.”

”What's next? Do you come, or do I go? My cultivation isn't as high as yours, so I can't see anything clearly. I cannot find your location. Where are you?” These two lines seemed harmless, but barely. Still, Chen Mu's eyes were filled with blood. The words that followed made him roar out in rage.

They were…
