Starting from the Planetary Governor

Chapter 107: Chapter 106, the ceremony is complete

Gu Hang knew that the Primal High Priest wasn’t putting all his energy into dealing with the interstellar warriors and the Battle Nun.

It certainly wasn’t because he underestimated his opponents.

Although Cui Kao was strong enough, he wasn’t so powerful as to have that kind of capital.

In actuality, that guy probably had more important things to do. Those things were even more significant than the battle at hand, more critical than his own life.

He seemed to be conducting some kind of ritual.

Within Gu Hang’s field of vision, he could faintly see strands of Spiritual Energy extending from Cui Kao’s body. One of these strands continued to the blades of the wind power generator above the tower; five others were dispersed among the blades of five other generators in the area. Many more strands stretched out in groups, extending towards the horizon.

Although Gu Hang couldn’t see the end, he could guess that these connections of Spiritual Energy probably extended to the other seven power stations as well.

After realizing this, Gu Hang had a thought and used the power of Spiritual Energy to send an order to Perbov, who was stationed outside.

“Destroy all the wind power generator sets, including the one we are at, immediately execute!”

“Inform Yan Fangxu to dispatch additional troops to the other seven wind power stations, eliminate all the people there, and destroy the power stations.”

After sending this message, Gu Hang saw that Cui Kao’s gaze was fixated on him.

Obviously, although his Spiritual Energy communication wasn’t intercepted, that old man might have ‘heard’ it.

Gu Hang opposed him with a faint smile, carrying a somewhat provocative taste.

Of course, at this moment, Gu Hang had also raised his vigilance to the utmost. As soon as the seemingly crazed old man attempted to make a move, he would immediately react, striving to control his own body and defend against the attack through Telekinesis.

The pressure was quite substantial; after all, the old man was a Spiritual Energy user much stronger than him.

However, Cui Kao didn’t lose his temper as he had shown in his previous crazed state. He didn’t pay any attention to Gu Hang and was wholly absorbed in his own business.

Gu Hang was somewhat disappointed.

If the old man had angrily attacked him, it might have indicated that Gu Hang’s punch had hit a critical spot. But if not, could it be that those power stations weren’t the key?

Whatever.

The wind power stations themselves weren’t of high value to Revival City; it was better to blow them up first and ask questions later.

Perbov resolutely executed Gu Hang’s orders.

He selected demolition experts and began to install explosives on the windmills outside.

Gu Hang also saw this scene.

With this in mind, he was at ease.

After that, Gu Hang began to study the wall of wind that stood before everyone.

In fact, he had been looking at this wind wall for a while and indeed found no clear way to breach it.

But now he did, after the grey-robed Divine Envoy turned into a pure energy state as a lightning person and entered the wind wall.

This action was, of course, a reinforcement of the wind wall. With this lightning person causing havoc inside, the three main forces attacking the wall would be harassed and their concentration would be diverted, which in turn would make the wall seem even more impregnable.

But in Gu Hang’s eyes, this was instead a weakness.

Once that guy merged into the fire of the wind wall, Gu Hang had already started to make some small moves. However, he was trying hard to control the intensity carefully and not be too obvious.

He was attempting to use his newly acquired ability “Mind Manipulation” to influence the guy operating inside the wind wall. If Cui Kao noticed and interfered, Gu Hang’s plan might fall through.

Therefore, he’d rather be slow but careful.

Now, he wasn’t far from success.

But at this very moment, Cui Kao slowly lowered his hand.

The man with white hair, looking towards the enemies in front of the wind wall, spoke:

“Pawns of the false emperor, the harder you try, the more pathetic you appear.”

“This city, it was destined to ascend in the midst of the gods’ gaze, within the storm,”

“Your little tricks are utterly meaningless!”

When he said this, Cui Kao’s smile was maniacal!

It was as if he had completed the largest, most important task, and was now finally able to let loose and revel in his own ego.

Gu Hang’s expression was stern.

Had the ritual already been completed?

Was it beyond stopping now?

What exactly was the ritual? According to what Georgette had said earlier, it was a sacrifice of the entire city, but… in what way was the sacrifice to be made?

The raging storm outside?

Would it evolve into a catastrophic storm capable of annihilating everything?

Gu Hang was lost in wild thoughts, his complexion not looking good.

He was thinking of a way out while carefully, subtly continuing to use Mind Manipulation. He also tried to speak, to see if he could taunt or provoke Cui Kao into revealing more by provoking him with words.

Villains seemed to always like to be verbose.

However, just at this moment, the sound of an explosion, which even the raging storm outside could not suppress, came through. Following that, there was intense turbulence under their feet, and the entire tower was collapsing.

The six wind generators on site, including the one which this tower, where they were located, relied on, were simultaneously blown up by Perbov outside.

Perbov had hesitated upon hearing the command to detonate. It didn’t matter about the other five, but blow up the one where the governor and his party were? The governor himself was still inside!

But since the governor himself had explicitly included the tower he was in, then just do it!

The governor was always right!

The governor spoke urgently, plus they weren’t professionals in building demolition. To ensure total destruction, they loaded a generous amount of explosives aiming for a decisive blow.

At this time, Gu Hang could no longer worry about using verbal provocations.

He immediately threw his spiritual energy into protecting the interstellar warriors and Battle Nuns.

From the height of four or five floors, it wasn’t certain whether they would suffer any casualties from the collapse, but even if it was just being temporarily buried under the ruins, it would be a hassle. By the time they dug themselves out, who knew how long it would take.

Of course, their combat suits provided some defense against spiritual energy. Their firm resolve also made it difficult for Gu Hang to directly apply telekinesis on them.

But who said Gu Hang was such a pedant?

He controlled the flying floorboards and debris amidst the explosion, forming a temporary, floating ‘ground’ that supported all his people, and he managed their slow descent to the ground.

On the other hand, as an even more powerful psychic, what Gu Hang could do, Cui Kao could certainly do even better.

He and his 365-degree revolving wall of wind also landed safely.

Gu Hang’s mouth was slightly agape, just about to use the destruction of the six wind turbines as a basis for verbal probing, when he looked up and saw a scene that rendered him speechless!

The wind generators had indeed been destroyed, but in mid-air, at the original positions of those generators, there were huge blades made of white vapor still spinning.

At the same time, an even more terrifying change occurred.

The white wind blowing from those vapor-formed blades gradually took shape in the air—the silhouette of a monster.

It was an Owl Beast, over ten meters tall.

That chapter will probably be a bit longer.
