428 Flesh Puppet! (1/2)
Right now, the blood-colored fog shrouded the whole of Mars, enveloping it and filling every crevice. Outside the main Martian City, the blood-colored fog had already grown to be extremely concentrated.
This change garnered not only the concern of the Martian Colony Governor but also the Federation, which was closely watching the changes happening on Mars. Duan Muque, the President of the Federation, breathed hurriedly. He wanted to contact Mars, but communications were currently down.
However, he believed that regardless of the reason for this transformation on Mars, the Martian Colony Governor would have a way to suppress and resolve it. At the same time, he believed that it was possible to accomplish this goal based on Mars' tradition.
What he and the Martian Colony Governor didn't know was that this time, the target of the blood-colored fog wasn't the main Martian City, but the new city!
That was the plot to kill Wang Baole made by the so-called State Preceptor, who had appeared as the black-robed man from underground, and who couldn't carry out the kill with his own hands!
Even though he would exhaust a substantial amount of resources every time the blood-colored fog appeared, especially when the area it covered was so large, his desire to kill Wang Baole was also extremely strong. Therefore, no matter how much he had to give, he was willing to do it.
As a result, while the blood-colored fog outside the main city was extremely concentrated, it was even more so for the area surrounding the new city. It enveloped the entire area and instilled fear in countless cultivators. When they raised their heads, all they saw in the sky was the blood-colored fog. They were unable to look past it, and could only vaguely hear countless bizarre-sounding cries that arrived as the fog churned.
As everyone was gripped in shock, Chen Mu's voice reverberated in the minds of all the cultivators who had been used as a host for the parasite. These Five Generation Sky Clan cultivators all trembled vigorously. In an instant, their gaze grew lifeless from a previously lively state. They also seemed to have lost control of their bodies, as they maintain the actions they were doing the moment before.
Blue veins could be seen clearly on their faces. They were perhaps not blue veins, but some sort of bizarre organism rapidly squirming in the bodies of the cultivators.
Those organisms had absorbed the cultivators' life energy, their cultivation, and swallowed their flesh. As they awakened, they were unleashed. When they wriggled out of their bodies, they were seen as sticks. The cultivators' bodies began to wither, turning into ash immediately. After that, a blood-colored seed emerged from where their heads had been before!
When the blood-colored seed appeared, it immediately flew at high speed into the sky. At the same time, beyond the skies, the blood-colored fog was surrounding the entire area and blocking the sun!
Initially, the changes that were happening would have caught the eye of the people in the other zones. However, the moment the blood-colored seeds charged towards the skies, a loud boom immediately emerged in Fang Jing's autonomous zone.
What accompanied this explosive wave were countless blood-colored glows that directly rose to the skies. These blood-colored glows weren't seeds but rays of lights!
Taking a closer look, at a position beside Chen Mu, in the location of Fang Jing's autonomous zone, a loud boom emerged from the area that was originally a Public Square. Cracks immediately appeared in the ground, and as the cracks widened, a deep crevice was formed.
As the ground sank with a loud bang, a gigantic catacombs was instantly formed!
The blood-colored rays emerged from the catacombs. At the same time, roaring sounds could be heard in waves as countless ferocious beasts and corpses from the catacombs wriggled out while sneering crazily from within. As they spread in all directions, they destroyed every living thing in their path.
The catacombs was made by the black-robed man at Chen Mu's request. Its goal was to cover up the deaths that were occurring in his zone, as well as the origins of the puppet. At the same time, it was directing all possible issues that could arise when the matter was being investigated towards Fang Jing!
The reason Fang Jing was chosen instead of Wen Huai was that it would be difficult to achieve success with Liu Daobin putting immense pressure on Wen Huai. Fang Jing only appeared to be abiding by the commands from Wang Baole and cooperating with the people that he had sent, which gave Chen Mu a chance to act. In reality, Fang Jing was extremely lax.
His plan worked at this moment. As the catacombs exploded, the ground of the entire new city shook, perfectly covering up the eccentric transformation happening to the parasite-host cultivators in his autonomous zone.
