435 For the Governors Deliberation, Please (2/2)

That hooved kick was like piling snow onto a glacier. Chen Mu's scream took on a different pitch. His entire body shuddered before he passed out again.

Kong Dao and Lin Tianhao had wanted to join as well, but the scene made their faces twitch. They stared at the donkey, then at Wang Baole, and didn't join in. Li Wan'er eyed the donkey from afar. It was the first time she was looking at the donkey with tenderness and liking in her eyes. It was clear that she had found the final kick from the donkey extremely satisfying.

The cultivators from the Five Generation Sky Clan might have found the scene unbearable, but they knew that this was going to be another disaster for the Five Generation Sky Clan. Their heads were all throbbing. Unfortunately, the world outside the city was besieged by blood-colored winds and all communications had been cut off. They had no means of contacting the family clan.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.

”City Lord Li!” As the members of the Five Generation Sky Clan panicked and fretted, Wang Baole pretended not to have seen the final blow the donkey had delivered and said coolly.

Li Wan'er immediately lifted her head. She took a few steps forward, gave Wang Baole a deep, meaningful look, and bowed.

”City Lord!”

”According to the Federation laws, which are also the laws Mars abides by, Chen Mu has staged a revolt against the Federation. He tried to overthrow his superiors and stage a coup. What should be his punishment?”

”He should be executed! We will have to dig to the bottom of this!” Li Wan'er didn't waver or hesitate. Her voice was firm.

Wang Baole was very pleased with her reply. His eyes grew colder when he turned and stared at the unconscious Chen Mu. Chen Mu and the political force backing Chen Mu had gone too far too many times. It was similar to him having a house. He agreed to someone entering and visiting his house, and even treated the latter cordially with good food and drinks, but that someone continued to overstay and wouldn't leave. That would have been fine, but he had even tried to amend the house deed and change the name of the owner. That someone had even tried to kill him.

This was the behavior of a bandit!

And the way to treat a bandit was to give him a severe thrashing. He immediately declared, ”Arrest Chen Mu! After the blood winds have died down, report immediately to the Governor and to the Federation. I want… the Five Generation Sky Clan to answer to the millions of cultivators of my new city. I want them to answer for every single life lost. I want them to answer to law and justice!” Wang Baole's voice was strong and powerful. It echoed in the air.

At the same time, the blood-colored winds and mist that had spread across half the Martian planet gradually weakened after the black-robed man was devoured by the donkey and after Chen Mu's failed coup. The next day, after Chen Mu's arrest, the mist finally cleared up.

With the re-establishment of communications, Li Wan'er immediately reported this incident to her father. She also reported to the Governor and the Federation about Chen Mu's coup.

Kong Dao, Lin Tianhao, and Jin Duoming also exerted the full extent of their influence. Even Fang Jing seemed to have come to her senses. She realized that the appearance of the catacombs within her zone couldn't have been a coincidence. She contacted her sect angrily as well.

Wen Huai saw what was going on and knew that he had to make a stand. He immediately contacted his sect and reported this matter for his sect's deliberation. As soon as this incident was made known, it caused an uproar in the various political forces on Mars and in the Federation. The association between the Martian mists and this incident had intensified the seriousness of this matter.

It was clear that Chen Mu had some connection with the Divine Armament Catacombs. They had worked together. There was no way that the Martian mists were a coincidence. The Martian Colony Governor had Chen Mu taken away and imprisoned within the main Martian city. The trial was carried out jointly with the Federation and the various political forces.

The trial wasn't made public. It was carried out internally. The final sentence—Chen Mu was to be sentenced to death!

Throughout the entire trial, the Five Generation Sky Clan didn't speak for Chen Mu, not even once. They were very cooperative. Chen Mu had also stated firmly that this had been his idea all along and that it had nothing to do with his family clan. However, everyone knew what was going on. This implicated too many political forces and angered too many people. There was a need for compensation and an answer.

As a result… the Five Generation Sky Clan had to compensate great quantities of materials and resources. The compensation went towards the new city as well. The Five Generation Sky Clan ached from the loss. They resented Chen Mu's actions. After all, while they had agreed to his plans, he had only had to kill Wang Baole and a few other people of little importance. There had been no need for him to offend everyone…

Even if he had offended everyone, everything would have turned out fine if he had succeeded. But he had failed…

The Five Generation Sky Clan was frustrated beyond relief. Wang Baole knew that. He immediately sent a voice transmission to the Martian Colony Governor.

”Governor, in order to put down Chen Mu, I self-destructed ten eighth-grade Dharmic Armaments. All the cultivators in the new city can vouch for me. Please speak for your subordinate and help me seek compensation from the Five Generation Sky Clan!”
