"Deputy Palace Master Sun, do you know any priest who knows how to set up formations?" Wang Xiaohai asked.
"Palace Master, you want formation masters to reinforce these newly built palaces?" Deputy Palace Master Sun understood. "I do know a few formation masters, all of whom serve in great countries. The formations of Baiyu Palace were reinforced by ancient formation masters in ancient times. Today's formation masters are mostly amateurs, and there are no full-time researchers."
"Amateur ones are fine, as long as they're windproof and earthquake-resistant," Wang Xiaohai said. "Even the ancient array masters' reinforcements could still be easily destroyed by a battle!"
Deputy Palace Master Sun thought that since they were two non-humans fighting, they would definitely not be able to handle it. How could ordinary awakened people fight each other? Although he thought so, he said, "I will go and invite them right away. I guarantee that they will come within a day!"
"Then please." Wang Xiaohai said.
"No need to thank me, this is what I should do."
Deputy Palace Master Sun said this and stood up and flew away from the newly built small sea palace.
Wang Xiaohai had something else to do next, so he instructed the two unawakened people to go to nearby countries to help find some chefs. After all, food had to be prepared for the celebration, and they couldn't just drink.
Time goes by...
The formation masters hired by Deputy Palace Master Sun arrived first. Without saying a word, the two of them started working around the new palace complex. They kept gesturing with their hands, calculating the positions, and asked their assistants to embed different materials into the wall.
The chef team and food delivery vehicles also arrived on the fourth day. They were all brought from the nearest country.
It was not until the tenth day that the law enforcement captains arrived one after another.
Wang Xiaohai noticed that only nine captains arrived. Although the law enforcement captain of the second team verbally promised to come, he broke his promise and did not come.
The nine captains who arrived saw that the place where Bai Yugong was originally located had become a ruin, and their faces suddenly changed - Bai Yugong had really disappeared!
Although Bai Yugong disappeared, many law enforcement captains still believed that Bai Yu might have left Beixingzhou for some reason, and then the despicable Wang Xiaohai took advantage of the situation and seized all of Bai Yugong's wealth!
"Are these palaces the newly built headquarters?" the captain of Team 4 asked Wang Xiaohai.
"That's right." Wang Xiaohai replied simply.
"I see. I have a suggestion," said the captain of Law Enforcement Team 4. "Since Palace Master Bai Yu is no longer with us for some reason, the new Palace Master will naturally be elected by the thousands of worshippers from Beixing Continent. Each Awakened One will have one vote, and the one with the most votes will be the new Palace Master."
"Oh, that's a very good suggestion," Wang Xiaohai said, "but I'm the Palace Master now. Why should I agree to your request? I'm not a fool."
"This is fair and just." said the captain of Team 4.
"But I'm powerful. I don't need an election," Wang Xiaohai said. "I have the power to crush all of you. I'm above everyone else. You can't resist me. Why should I choose someone weaker than me to rule me?"
"You are also an awakened one. At most, your strength is equal to mine. How can you say that you can crush me?" The captain of Team Four snorted coldly.
The other law enforcement captains also noticed the conversation between the two. To be honest, if Bai Yutianshi was gone and Wang Xiaohai became the palace master, they would not accept it!
"I see. You want to see my strength."
Wang Xiaohai drew out the Sword of True Awareness, intending to cut the captain of Team 4 in half with one blow. However, when the sword reached his neck, Wang Xiaohai deflected the sword and only cut off his left arm.
The captain of the fourth team saw Wang Xiaohai drawing his sword and was about to react in defense, but it was too late. He felt his left arm go cold and lose connection with his body. He immediately covered the broken end and used his martial energy to seal the wound to prevent the blood from flowing out.
Everyone around was startled and looked at Wang Xiaohai with fear - none of them would be able to react to the sword just now!
"If your proposal wasn't so ahead of its time, I would have killed you with my sword," Wang Xiaohai said to the captain of Team Four. "I'll take one of your arms as the price of change. If you're not scared off, you can continue to push forward your reforms after I'm gone, okay?"
The captain of the fourth team retreated silently without saying another word. If he had known this would happen, he would have done the same as the captain of the second team and not come to attend the celebration of the new palace master. It was obvious that Wang Xiaohai was using him as a warning to others.
"Is there anyone else who wants to replace the Palace Master?" Wang Xiaohai asked, holding up his sword, not a drop of blood on it.
No one around had any objections, and they all tacitly agreed that Wang Xiaohai would become the new Palace Master of Beixingzhou, with the headquarters palace being the Xiaohai Palace below.
"With Palace Master Baiyu gone, will the Divine Palace send someone over?" a deputy Palace Master asked. "I heard the Palace Master was appointed by the Divine Palace's Angel of Power."
"It's okay. Beixing Continent is a remote and primitive continent. People are exiled here because they offended someone there," Wang Xiaohai said. "Bai Yu has been here for over ten thousand years. It will take another eighty thousand years for the higher-ups to send someone to take over. You only have five hundred years to live. Do you still need to worry about what will happen eighty thousand years from now?"
Everyone around felt the same way. After 80,000 years, even their descendants might not be around anymore, so there was no need to worry about something so far in the future!
"Isn't today the celebration for the new Palace Master? Why are you discussing these unlucky things?" Deputy Palace Master Sun stepped in to smooth things over. "The banquet is already set up downstairs. Let's all go over and, after we've had enough, we can all go home. Whatever job we had before, it's still the same job now. What's the difference?"
Everyone agreed and surrounded Wang Xiaohai as they walked towards the newly built palace. The banquet was held in the square in front of the palace with ten tables. Only high-ranking officials from Beixingzhou were qualified to sit at the first and second tables, the third, fourth and fifth tables were for the worshippers, and the remaining tables were for the unawakened people who came to help, who had the largest number of people.
"I wish Palace Master Xiaohai can light the sacred fire as soon as possible!" Captain Qin of Team Nine was at the second table. He raised his glass and walked towards Wang Xiaohai.
