Chapter 147: Chapter 104: The Neutral City is Finally Occupied! The Seal of Nine Cities! Occupying Nine Cities
With Wang Dapang and the white-faced man in tow, he teleported directly back to Qing City.
.
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
The moment he teleported back to Qing City, the violent sounds of battle immediately assaulted his ears. While Shen Fei was gone, Zhang Qiqiang, Li Yunlong, and the others who had just returned were working with Sun Yu to hold back the monsters spawning from the Heaven-Reaching Tower.
WHOOSH—
Seeing that the monster tide from the Heaven-Reaching Tower could be held back for the time being, Shen Fei’s thoughts shifted, and he teleported to another location.
WHOOSH—
Upon arriving at his destination, he saw the Neutral City before him, now fully solidified from its once-ethereal state. Shen Fei could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
The Neutral City had not only been safely moved to the flat farmland he had designated on the outskirts of Qing City, but more importantly, the city walls that had been shattered by the white-faced man had reappeared, completely intact. It gave me new walls after repositioning! The only unfortunate thing was that the castle, half of which had been destroyed, remained in its ruined state.
WHOOSH—
The Neutral City sat before him, waiting for its master to claim it. Without a moment’s hesitation, Shen Fei walked straight toward it.
WHOOSH—
The moment he stepped within the Neutral City’s walls, lines of text scrolled into view.

"A small city that enhances Magic Class abilities?" Looking at the Neutral City he had finally conquered, now waiting to be claimed, a smile involuntarily appeared on his face. After working so hard for so long... Finally! I’ve got it!
Shen Fei understood that as the one who had activated the Neutral City’s capture and slain the final boss, he was the only one qualified to claim the city before him.
With the Neutral City, as long as everyone moved inside, they would no longer have to worry, no matter how monsters spawned and appeared in the real world. Moreover, the Tower Masters’ Defense Towers could be perfectly placed on the walls, removing any lingering concerns about defense.
Clicking to view the wall’s Attributes, Shen Fei saw that the Neutral City’s walls had 2,000 tower emplacements, capable of holding 2,000 Defense Towers of various types. Right now, many of his eight hundred comrades’ Defense Towers were still hovering ethereally above the ramparts. Once he claimed the city, they could be set up on the walls immediately...
"We finally have a home! We finally have something to defend ourselves with!"
Looking at the small city before him, Shen Fei’s tension finally eased a little. Although the city wasn’t large, it was, at the very least, a safety net.
"Boss!"
"Help!"
Before Shen Fei, who had just been inspecting the city’s Attributes, could even process his thoughts, the panicked cries of Sun Yu and the others rang out again.
.
"The monsters have gotten stronger!"
"They’re at least twice as strong!"
Returning to Sun Yu’s side, Shen Fei heard the bad news. The indestructible Heaven-Reaching Tower, which they could only passively defend against, had changed again.
ZZZT—
ZZZT—
ZZZT—
He saw that even his powerful Tenth-Tier Lightning Chain Defense Towers were now unable to one-shot the monsters after their strength had increased. Many were left with a sliver of health, requiring a second volley to kill. Frowning, Shen Fei set up another Lightning Chain Defense Tower.
"You, go!"
Looking at the endless, unceasing tide of monsters surging forward, Shen Fei relayed the good news to the others: the Neutral City was successfully in position and just waiting to be claimed. As their eyes lit up, an idea sparked in his mind. He directly ordered the white-faced man, now under the control of his Mind Control Tower, to defend against the monster tide from the Heaven-Reaching Tower.
This man had only managed to act for a few seconds before Shen Fei brought him under control. Now, seeing the monsters pour out endlessly while steadily growing stronger, Shen Fei decided to send the white-faced man to fight them. On the one hand, he wanted to see the true extent of this man’s power. On the other, he had a hunch that there was some connection between this white-faced man—a Super Boss—and the sudden eruption of the Heaven-Reaching Tower. A connection that implied that for accepting this gift, he would have to pay a price...
"Sir!"
"They can’t be held back!"
To Shen Fei’s surprise, the white-faced man he had commanded not only didn’t advance, but actually spoke to him.
"Hm?"
The white-faced man’s words instantly put Shen Fei on alert.
"You’re disobeying my command?" Shen Fei asked with a frown.
"I obey! Whatever you say, goes. I’m just offering a suggestion."
The fact that the white-faced man could still converse with him while under control startled Shen Fei. It hadn’t been like this at all when he controlled the people from the Tourism Management Office to find the culprits.
Surprised that the man could still talk, Shen Fei immediately began his interrogation. "What’s your name?"
"I’ve forgotten."
"Forgotten?"
"Yes."
"Then what do you remember?"
"I only remember that I was released by a mysterious voice. It told me that if I destroyed the previous castle, I would be allowed to go back."
"Back where?"
"I don’t know."
"Then do you know that you’re under my control?"
"I do."
"You do?"
"Yes, I know. I have to obey you..."
.
A rapid-fire exchange of questions and answers ensued.
