Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!

Chapter 1442: Chapter 1044: Reporting a Complaint (2)

"What should we do then? The Commerce Association is rich, even if they can’t slay Demon Beasts, they’ll manage. At worst, they can run off to the Otherworld to continue enjoying their lives. What about us? If there’s no income for ten days or half a month, what will the family eat?"

"They can’t escape! Didn’t you hear? After the Divine Beast Black Tortoise ascends, it’ll reform the Wilderness, and apart from the Otherworld Teleportation Array at the headquarters of the Demon Realm Alliance, none of the others will be usable. Advanced Teleportation Treasures are useless, just wait and watch the chaos unfold."

"Is that true? So, the Divine Beast Black Tortoise is siding with the Demon Realm Alliance?"

"Divine Beasts don’t pick sides! They punish evil and promote good! Those bastards won’t be able to escape and won’t get away with our hard-earned money. If you ask me, that’s just how it should be!"

"The Immortal Alliance is really thriving now, going head-to-head with the two madmen. They’ve explicitly said that taking back the Demon Realm Alliance’s Teleportation Array is your affair, but once the Immortal Alliance rebuilds the array, move again and they’ll strike fiercely."

"Whether they can win or not is another matter, but at least they are genuinely helping to rebuild the Teleportation Arrays. You know Wanbao City, right? The first to have its teleportation array destroyed. I heard that Immortal Alliance’s Array Masters have already headed over, and by tomorrow night at the latest, one can be rebuilt. It’s not much, but at least there’s a chance to slay Demon Beasts, plus there’ll be more on the way..."

......

Gossip spreads quickly.

News about Du Li and Lan Shanying appearing around Guiyan City’s surroundings has circulated widely. Even trendy gambling houses have begun setting up bets on whether Guiyan City will end up included in the cities with destroyed teleportation arrays by tomorrow.

Meanwhile, Wanbao City’s City Lord Kang Muzi watches with mixed emotions as three Array Masters busily work at the site of the former Demon Beast Teleportation Array.

With a smiling face, he seeks connections and old acquaintances, and finally succeeds in joining the Immortal Alliance, after paying and promising a hefty sum, thereby obtaining the opportunity to rebuild the teleportation array.

Is he happy? Yes, happy! At least there’s hope again, as long as Demon Beasts can be teleported over, the vast Wanbao City can return to its former glory.

But not that happy.

Firstly, rebuilding thirty teleportation arrays is a huge project; destroying them is easy, but building them is hard. Members joining the Immortal Alliance are increasing, everyone wants to rebuild quickly, but there are limited Array Masters.

Therefore, it’s destined that Wanbao City can’t rebuild all thirty at once, managing to build ten of them is the reward of his painstaking efforts. For this, all former Commerce Association members in Wanbao City must also join the Immortal Alliance and pay a fee.

The internal headaches are numerous!

Secondly, who knows if Du Li and Lan Shanying might get a sudden impulse and come back to wreak havoc?

The Immortal Alliance may be responsible for rebuilding, but not for follow-ups. Nor is it feasible to station Cultivators to guard the teleportation array every day. Even if they did, should either of those two show up, who could be their match?

And yet there’s new information, suggesting they are indeed lingering around various teleportation arrays in the Wilderness, likely determining exact positions. These two relentless madmen are like a suspended sword that could fall anytime—whoever it strikes will suffer.

Critically, they don’t kill or destroy cities, they take advantage of daytime when Great Demon Beasts roam the Wilderness, and no Demon Cultivator dares leave the city, purely to disgust people.

"If this matter were reported to the Lord, would it have any effect?" Kang Muzi thinks long and hard, feeling that relying only on the Immortal Alliance to control the variables of Du Li and Lan Shanying seems unfeasible, it’s necessary to find a stronger backing than those two!

Currently in the Wilderness, anyone more powerful than them is either Great Demon Beasts active during the day or Lords that even Great Demon Beasts fear.

The former are beasts, wild and stubborn without humanality, impossible to rally as backing.

Wanbao City is under the jurisdiction of Lord Jiang Bai of Wuhai Zizhou, Kang Muzi, despite being the City Lord of one of the top cities in the Wilderness, was once a dominator within the Demon Realm Alliance, but still lacks the qualification to meet the Lord.

After all, it’s always been a case of mutual non-interference between the Lord and the Demon Realm Alliance.

The latter primarily deals with Demon Cultivators, while the former governs large entities in the daytime Wilderness that rule mountains, capable of destroying cities with a mere step. It’s said, issues handled by the Lord are those with potential for massive destruction and numerous casualties.

Like Ghost Realm invasions, or ensuring during the dusk between night and day, that weaker Demon Beasts and ordinary Demon Cultivators aren’t harmed by Great Demon Beasts.

As for disputes between Demon Cultivators, there’s no precedent of the Lord getting involved.

But there’s no known instance of them not intervening either?

Previously with the Demon Realm Alliance, Demon Cultivators encountering trouble could find relevant departments for solutions. Now, with the alliance fragmented, a big city faces the critical issue of losing livelihood imminently—can the Lord merely look on?

Kang Muzi becomes increasingly convinced, even if the Lord doesn’t get involved, submitting a visiting card and getting a reply still offers some authority. Perhaps Du Li and Lan Shanying are only afraid of the Lord’s reprimand, thus wouldn’t dare damage the teleportation array further.

"This concerns the overall stability of the Wilderness, it’s severe! Yes, I need to clearly explain the dangers posed by the rampant proliferation of Demon Beasts to the Wilderness. Carefully considered, Demon Cultivators slaying Demon Beasts in the cities is for the sake of the Wilderness!" Kang Muzi looks at the array slowly taking form, his plan to lodge a complaint grows clearer.

Fearing mishaps during teleportation array reconstruction, he dares not leave, sitting cross-legged nearby, he takes out brush, ink, and paper from his Storage Bag, pondering the words to pen the visiting card and appeal for help to Lord Jiang.
