Wild beasts

Looking around at everyone present, Bai Mo silently sentenced them to death in his heart. Every inch of land in the Blue Country was precious, and there were no fields. Those magnetic field experts would never make bread for ordinary people. The Blue Country was like a wild beast that would rush into the fields of the Qin to feast when it was hungry.

And these people, those who stand at the highest level, are just like beasts that prey on the lower classes of the Blue Country.

These people all have to die.

Bai Mo looked at Zhang Xianzhong in front of him. The latter had no idea that he would come so quickly. After such a great battle, he should have rested properly.

Using fine wine and the embrace of a beautiful woman to wash away the fatigue of battle—that's the normal way to think. Why did this guy just attack directly?

Although he was arrogant and disdainful of others, he was also very pragmatic. He believed that someone like him was not worth Bai Mo's attention. He had neither the power to threaten him nor the fearsome ambitions of Blue Dream.

"What's wrong? Are you surprised to see me? The enemy hasn't been completely wiped out yet, so I can't sleep soundly."

Bai Mo walked towards him step by step, then waved his large hand towards the wall. A force entered the wall, and the entire wall seemed to flow like a river. An extremely powerful force sealed off the area.

It's like a fisherman blocking the waterway, not intending to let any fish swim out.

Those around him clearly understood what he meant, and they looked at each other. They could only learn about Bai Mo through information channels such as videos, and did not understand Bai Mo's stance.

Zhang Xianzhong took a deep breath. At this moment, he was like the biggest fish in the pool, destined to be the immediate target. His mind raced, searching for any possible way out.

"You can't kill me..."

He raised his head and said with dry lips, "I know this city better than you do. Only I can suppress the people here. They fear me, but if it were someone else, they would try to test your limits with bloodshed time and time again."

You're not one of the Qin Shi Huang's people, are you? I can tell, otherwise you wouldn't have been in such a hurry to deal with Qin Hong back then.

We don't need to fight to the death. Just like before, I'll be in the spotlight, and you'll be behind the scenes. I'll give you everything you want: cultivation resources, wealth, women, respect... anything!

Bai Mo listened to his words but did not reply. Qin Liangyu, who was standing to the side, looked at him with disdain. The Qin Shi Huang had once promised Bai Mo a reward, but if it weren't for Hinako Akuta's request, Bai Mo would probably have ignored it.

"Really? You're very generous. Coincidentally, I just happen to need something right now."

Bai Mo replied, and a glint flashed in Zhang Xianzhong's eyes. What else did he want? What could he possibly want? Was it that woman in white over there? Sure enough, this guy wasn't on the same path as the Qin Shi Huang.

"Haha, if only we had this in mind earlier, things wouldn't have come to this. Tell me, and I'll personally... serve it to you."

Zhang Xianzhong tried his best to appear obedient and compliant, but in reality, his hands, which were bent over, were already clenched. Previously, Qin Hong had basically never interfered in outside affairs, but now, if this person in front of him took the initiative to stand above him, it meant that he was actually no different from these guys who were second only to the emperor.

The best women should be offered to him, and one's palace should not be more luxurious than his. At the same time, one's killings should be restrained by him.

Those around him echoed his sentiments, and some even tried to bypass Zhang Xianzhong.

"Great man, we thank you for your arrival. Your fame is known to all from the Bustling Metropolis here. And just now, you have demonstrated your bravery, and all the kings, whether in the spotlight or behind the scenes, have fallen before you."

Forgive my bluntness, but you need not concern yourself with the fate of the Qin Shi Huang, whose whereabouts are unknown. With just your command, we will immediately place the crown upon your head!

A metallic taste of blood filled Zhang Xianzhong's mouth. His eyes were wide and bloodshot, like copper bells. He longed to turn around immediately, pounce on that man, bite his throat, and then release his pent-up rage through his blood-soaked throat.

This is definitely more comfortable than with any other woman.

Only after these people finished speaking did Bai Mo withdraw his spectator-like gaze.

"I only need your lives. Your cooperation makes things easier. Just kill yourselves."

The words were spoken casually, like raindrops on bamboo leaves, but to Zhang Xianzhong and the others they struck it like a thunderbolt, leaving them even more incredulous.

Why is it that killing Zhang Xianzhong is understandable, but what does it have to do with us?

Why must we die too?

Bai Mo drew his Blade of Hell, looking at the people before him. His sharp aura pierced their bones like cold needles. He looked at Zhang Xianzhong, whose face was reflected in the blade.

"Do you think this kind of city is right? In this Blue Country, how many people diligently cultivate the land? How many work honestly? People starve to death everywhere on the roadside. You feel happy and think it's right because you stand among those who benefit from the status quo."

Don't argue with that; the carpets in your palace are probably made of human skin, aren't they? Do you think you can remain so carefree in this chaotic state because you're loved and respected for your high moral character?

You scoundrels who wantonly plunder others, none of you will leave here alive.

"So what? Didn't the Qin Shi Huang still lock people up in those cramped communal rooms and let them enjoy the fruits of others' labor?"

"I never said I endorsed that guy's rule."

Bai Mo interrupted him, raising his sharp blade. Faced with its edge, he instinctively took a step back. Qin Liangyu also gripped her White Ash Spear tightly. Although she had expected this, she still held a sliver of hope.

Now, those expectations have been completely dashed.

"You are utterly shameless. I'm standing here to settle scores with you. Don't use the actions of others to cover up your own greed and flaws. Look at these people; without power, what are you?"

If I were to seal your power now and say to them, 'Kill them and I'll spare their lives,' do you think countless people would fight tooth and nail for it?

As soon as Bai Mo finished speaking, the person next to him immediately replied, "Is that really true?"

The man's muscles bulged, indicating he was not weak. Although he was not as strong as the man, he still stood up to show his loyalty, which was exactly what Bai Mo wanted Zhang Xianzhong to see.

"Once you lose your power, you are nothing but scum despised by everyone. You ruled the kingdom with power, but now I need to rebuild this corrupt place."

This began with power, and it will end with power. If you had something else, I would counter you with something else in return, but you only used power to subdue the people here with your tyranny.

Therefore, if I spare you, and don't tear you to pieces and hang you on the city gate, how can I demonstrate that I am stronger than you?

You agree, right?
