434 Attack Chen Mu (1/2)
Wang Baole saw that the crowd had seen reason and that no one was going to publicly accuse the donkey of any wrongdoing. He was extremely pleased with his methods. He had been about to kick the donkey again, instinctively, but then he had heard what Lin Tianhao and Jin Duoming had said. He couldn't quite get himself to carry on with that kick.
The giant python had a considerable impact on him. He was worried that he might accidentally push the donkey into transforming with one kick. What should he do then…
He thought about his position as the donkey's master. He shouldn't be so violent and should instead shower small animals with care. He pulled his leg back and patted the donkey lovingly on its head.
His tenderness scared the donkey. It had been feeling better earlier after sensing the murderous intent fading from the eyes of the people around it. However, the tender and caring expression on Wang Baole's face that followed swiftly after made it shudder instantly. Fear shone in its eyes.
Wang Baole could see the look on the donkey's face clearly. Exasperated, he kicked the donkey again. It flew a short distance, rolled over, and got to its feet. It seemed more at ease and a lot happier.
What's wrong with this creature? Wang Baole was torn between bursting out into laughter and weeping. He received a voice transmission from Li Wan'er. The catacombs that had appeared in Fang Jing's autonomous zone was now under control. The crisis that had taken the new city by surprise had been partially resolved.
It wasn't yet fully resolved because they hadn't yet found the mastermind behind this attack. The cultivators around Wang Baole might no longer be angry at the donkey, but they were still hungry for revenge. They had murder in their eyes and needed an outlet to vent their anger. They wanted vengeance. Wang Baole knew this, and the cultivators around him understood as well.
However, the mastermind was hidden from their view. Finding him would be a challenge. Wang Baole hadn't managed to find him with his array formation in the past. However, at present… things seemed to have changed.
”Scram, get over here!” Wang Baole's eyes flashed. He immediately turned and stared at the donkey.
The donkey remained secretly cautious, but it still ran hurriedly towards Wang Baole, merrily and obediently. It wagged its tail furiously, as if trying to convey the message that it was doing exactly what it was told and asking for its life to be spared.
”Where did you get into trouble? Can you find the person who tried to control you?”
Wang Baole patted the donkey on its head and asked. The cultivators around them all stared at the donkey. The donkey blinked. It seemed to know what Wang Baole was saying. It concentrated and appeared to be extending its senses outwards. Its nose started sniffling. Wang Baole frowned. He had a growing suspicion that one of the donkey's parents must have been some form of giant dog-like monster.
The crowd didn't have to wait long. The donkey's eyes soon flashed. It brayed at Wang Baole and immediately dashed ahead in a particular direction.
An icy glint flashed in Wang Baole's eyes. Murderous intent rose in his heart and showed on his face. He didn't hesitate and immediately followed the donkey.
Jin Duoming did the same. The Core Formation realm cultivator who had died had been his protector. The man had treated him with great kindness. Jin Duoming might appear to have resumed his normal self, but his heart had been simmering with murderous intent. He followed swiftly behind Wang Baole.
Kong Dao and Lin Tianhao did the same. Their hate towards the mastermind was intense. They also had men who had died and had used the invaluable ultimate attacks that they had kept as a last resort. They wouldn't simply let this matter rest. Every Foundation Establishment realm cultivator and cultivators of higher cultivation realms soon followed. They marched forth like a vast army.
The donkey was swift. As Wang Baole followed behind it, his breathing began to quicken. He almost couldn't control his murderous rage when he realized where the donkey was headed… it was towards Chen Mu's autonomous zone!
Wang Baole wasn't the only one who had realized that. Lin Tianhao, Kong Dao, and Jin Duoming had all realized what was going on. They didn't hesitate. The murderous intent exuding from their persons grew stronger.
The army was like a sharp sword hungering for blood. They sped through the new city and charged into Chen Mu's autonomous zone. There were still plenty of Five Generation Sky Clan cultivators inside the autonomous zone, but their numbers had significantly reduced. They saw Wang Baole and his army. They didn't know why the latter was here, but they had heard about the crisis that had befallen the city. Every one of them was alarmed by the overpowering aura exuding from Wang Baole and his army of cultivators. They hastily fell back and didn't dare stop them.
