But he simply doesn't like wasting even a minute trying to resolve problems through appeasement. When a problem arises in front of him, his first reaction is to smash the thing that caused it.

A powerful tyrant is not scary; what is scary is a wise and powerful tyrant who has little patience.

"You still don't understand," Bai Wujie said, looking at the trembling man with a smile.

“I am not here to rule over you ignorant fools. Your current situation is all your own doing. Since you have attacked me, I will have no patience or mercy for you.”

"And you are not my people, so why should I be lenient with you? Of course, if you continue to delay in fulfilling my demands, I might actually try to 'rule' you, but you'd better think about what that would mean."

What would you do?

As if guided by some strange force, the middle-aged man asked this question...

"I don't want to waste too much time, and my current abilities don't allow me the extra energy to do anything complicated," Bai Wujie shrugged.

"So I'll take your things and give them to another group of people. Send half the people to hell and the other half to heaven. I want to try out the way our ancestors ruled. But I don't have their incredible power, so if I mess it up, it doesn't matter."

The middle-aged man was drenched in sweat, and so was the young man before him. He didn't treat people as human beings at all; the deaths of millions were mentioned lightly in his words, and what's even more terrifying is that he could do it with ease!

"I won't repeat myself a second time: don't let me see any ship capable of sailing far attempting to leave this island nation. Second thing, where are the flowers I'm looking for?"

"It's...it's been found," the middle-aged man hurriedly said.

“We found the same blue spider lilies in the mountains of Kumamoto. These are very rare flowers that only bloom at noon and can only be found on the sunniest slopes.”

"Very well, then gather them all up and burn them." Bai Wujie grinned.

“If I find even one that has leaked out, you will all die. Don’t doubt me. I’m talking about one that has leaked out. From the ringleader to all of you, I will kill you all.”

He spoke without hesitation, and no one questioned whether he would actually do it. Those who dared to challenge this devilish rule are already mutilated corpses in the pit.

The middle-aged man kowtowed repeatedly, overwhelmed with fear, and wanted to turn around and run away, but Bai Wujie called him back.

"Wait, there's one more order," Bai Wujie said lazily.

"Get out here, all of you. Do you want me to do it?"

"Heaven will punish you!"

Accompanied by a spirited roar, a group of ninjas dressed in black immediately charged out from all directions.

35. Magnetic Field Domination

The rule of those with strong magnetic fields inevitably requires bloodshed and slaughter to maintain.

Because benevolence and compassion cannot maintain your authority... Not only will other powerful beings try to challenge you... but the people under your rule will also try to provoke you because of your soft heart.

Bai Wujie understood this perfectly. It was human nature to think that compassion was a sign of weakness, and only ruthless methods could make people submit.

Even the Holy King of the Moon Silver Moon Sect, the ancestor of the sect, once made such a comment about his two ancestors, the First Man and the Second Man, in the Hell Path.

These are brothers who are fundamentally opposed yet surprisingly similar in some ways.

Their methods of rule appear no different to the general public... but the First Man's compassion is something those lowly people cannot comprehend.

Because the first male ancestor would not slaughter people for offending him, such morality is already a rare compassion among those with strong magnetic fields.

In essence, the two ancestors did not differ in their methods of ruling the land.

Only those who submit to their ancestors can remain in the heavenly kingdom they established, while those who do not submit must be expelled from the kingdom.

The only difference is that the first male ancestor was more patient and benevolent, allowing those who left his territory to live well, and was more patient with those who opposed him.

However, this "compassion" resulted in something extremely ridiculous, something that could be recorded in the hell realm as the greatest joke of all time.

According to the records of the Hell Realm, the first male ancestor slept for several years after defeating the second male ancestor...

And during this time, some ignorant fool actually dared to send two magnetic beasts with the strength of 50,000 horses each to try to assassinate him—

Yes, those ignorant things that are unknowingly ruled by the compassion of the first male ancestor...

Sending two beasts, whose combined value is only 250,000, to assassinate the chieftain who commands a million horses...

In contrast, there was the second male ancestor, who was defeated by the Northern Emperor Darkness and imprisoned in a tower for forty days... During this time, no one dared to provoke the second male ancestor who had not moved an inch.

Essentially, this is a difference in attitude. The first male ancestor was more benevolent and patient, which is why some arrogant and despicable people dared to provoke him.

The second male ancestor was even more cold-blooded and ruthless, so no despicable person would try to provoke him.

The former is a possibility of death, while the latter is certain death!

But that doesn't mean Bai Wujie is a follower of the second son's ideology... In fact, even among the Sea Tiger Martial Gods and the Bai family royal family who have ruled the land throughout the ages, there is no such extreme madman as the second son's ancestor.

They're unlikely to do something like killing 90% of the world's population for fun before starting a war...

Bai Wujie considered himself to be one of the more benevolent members of the Bai family.

He could not be as humble as his first male ancestor, but he would not maintain a cruel rule. He was happy to provide his people with a comfortable life, happy to give wealth and status to the talented, happy to let capable people help him rule, and he also enjoyed the love and worship of his people, and was happy to fight for the people.

However, he was extremely cruel in his methods towards his enemies.

This enemy includes those among his people who oppose him and attempt to rebel against him.

If it's merely opposition, Bai Wujie won't do anything. He's patient enough to allow them to leave his territory or correct their ways, even if they take nothing with them.

But those who attack him without any sense are naturally enemies and should be treated cruelly.

Bai Wujie always believed that only the most cruel examples could prevent those who came after from making the same mistakes... and his thoughts were also shared by the vast majority of martial gods on earth.

There will always be some jerks who will try to interfere with your decisions. In that case, to prevent more clueless people from making the same mistake, you should make the first one even worse.

As for the relatives of those who have made mistakes, Bai Wujie only has the unified approach of collective punishment.

It's difficult to distinguish whether these people are accomplices, or why those who benefited from making mistakes shouldn't have to pay the price.

But Bai Wujie wouldn't go too far; he wouldn't treat this accomplice the same way he would treat the ringleader.

Release the elderly, weak, women, and children who can be released; as for the others, killing them is enough.

This was already an act of mercy on his part.

But for the country called Neon, White Boundless takes a different approach.

He never considered this country as a place he wanted to rule.

Their attack on him was secondary; the main issue was that Bai Wujie didn't have the time or energy to rule anything.

He needs to regain his power, and most importantly, he needs to kill Muzan Kibutsuji. Only after regaining his magnetic field power will he stop appearing so "urgent".

Bai Wujie was well aware that if his rule required providing a prosperous life for his subjects, then his power was indispensable.

To give one's people a heavenly life, a leader needs to possess invincible and unchallengeable power!

He hasn't even recovered the power to rotate the magnetic field yet, so how can he talk about a prosperous life?

What talk of absolute domination?

If he lacks the ability, he will not make any promises that he cannot keep.

So to put it bluntly, he's using this country as a tool.

The purpose of sealing off all ports and preventing ships from leaving was to prevent Muzan Kibutsuji from fleeing the country.

Finding one person in one country is troublesome enough, let alone the whole world? Bai Wujie didn't have that much patience.

The search for the blue spider lily was also intended to further force Muzan to reveal himself.

Once Muzan Kibutsuji is killed, Bai Wujie will no longer need to maintain this bloody intimidation. He might leave this world that he finds boring right away.

The goal is simple, but there are always people trying to annoy him before he can complete this simple exchange of benefits.

For example, right now, these "ninjas" jumping out from all directions and corners of the Tokugawa Palace are the very things that annoy him.

"Cuck!"

The middle-aged man screamed and fell backward, but the ninjas who rushed out obviously didn't care about such a guy.

"Ha, ninjas? Have they become so desperate for talent that they have to find a bunch of outdated relics to deal with me?"

Bai Wujie chuckled, without even raising his hand...

The countless shurikens that flew towards them were attracted and reflected back in mid-air by an invisible magnetic field simulated by electric current.

These elite ninjas seemed to have anticipated this, and they all displayed their powerful agility to dodge the shuriken that suddenly flew back.

Furthermore, their agile figures and muscular strength, completely disproportionate to their size, clearly indicate that they are also practitioners of breathing techniques.

"Interesting. Did Ubuyashiki leak it out? Or did you guys steal it?"

Bai Wujie smiled knowingly. Did that scarred man, who was so eager to kill ghosts, know that the power to kill ghosts had already been revealed long ago and used by ambitious people to kill each other?

He might know, or he might not, but Bai Wujie believed that Ubuyashiki Kagaya would definitely not care about such a thing.

He was a man who was dedicated to killing demons.

Whether it's outward gentleness or inner strength and ruthlessness, it all serves the same purpose: to kill demons.

He was willing to give anything to kill the demons.

He was certainly capable of revealing his breathing techniques in exchange for some necessary "conveniences."

After all, if all those "hidden" were members of the Demon Slayer Corps who had been eliminated, the number would be far too large. In addition, considering the issue of Uzui Tengen's birth, a simple exchange of interests could be quickly deduced.

but……

That doesn't matter. Bai Wujie simply doesn't believe this is Ubuyashiki Kagaya's order. Even if that scarred man wanted to deal with him, he would do it openly and honestly...

Because he knew that playing dirty tricks would only provoke Bai Wujie, while confronting Bai Wujie head-on would earn him Bai Wujie's appreciation and allow him to let some unimportant things go.

"The Hand of God - Revolving Heaven!"

Bai Wujie spread his palms out, and the electric current, nearing its limit, perfectly simulated the effect of a rotating magnetic field. In an instant, the magnetic field within the entire hall was rapidly distorted and rotated.

Those ninjas who had launched a fierce attack were all captured by an invisible magnetic field in the air in the next moment, and then the "fusion" process began...

They hovered in the air, their bodies out of control, watching in horror as they pressed closer together, their bones twisting, their flesh breaking, forcibly "bound" together...

Then, one by one, they were pieced together in mid-air to form a terrifying "LEGO set," which eventually twisted, broke, and fused together to become a giant "Poké Ball"...

Even the ninjas screamed incessantly from the extreme physical torture... while Bai Wujie looked with satisfaction at the artwork he had created in imitation of his ancestors, then looked down at the man below who had wet himself in fear, and chuckled...

"Go, find a few large hot air balloons, tie them together, and then find out who made this."

The middle-aged man's body was trembling violently; his last remaining will to live made him struggle...

"But doing so will cause panic..."

"Then panic is in order, that's the effect I want, hahaha."

Bai Wujie stroked the steel handrail, laughing heartily...

"Let those ignorant fools understand not to test my patience and mercy a second time, let them understand the necessity of hiding their thoughts from me, and let those bastards stop wasting my time!"

"Also, don't make me repeat my order. I want you to find out who did it. I'm giving you twenty-four hours, understand? Whoever it is, find them and bring them to me. Their wealth and status are all yours, understand?"

"I, I, I understand!"

"Then get down and wipe yourself clean!"

36. The Mad Ghost King

Tokyo Asakusa

The streets, which should have been bustling at night, were now eerily quiet and desolate. Yushiro weaved through the crowd, carrying his purchases back to his quarters.

"Thank you for your hard work, Yushiro. How's the situation outside?"

While wiping the sweat from Tanjiro's sweat as he lay unconscious, Tamayo administered fever-reducing medication and asked softly...

"It's still terrible..." Yushiro sighed.

"I never imagined things would turn out this way."

Defeating all the Upper Moon demons was undoubtedly a great achievement worthy of their celebration... but who knew that before they could even eliminate Muzan, they would be faced with a demon even more terrifying than Muzan.

The seven-day rampage in Tokyo, even though he never massacred civilians but only hunted down officers, nobles, and military police, still caused great panic throughout the city!

Some things simply cannot be covered up, no matter how hard the newspapers try.

Moreover, Bai Wujie never bothered to avoid suspicion when he killed people. Sometimes, he would even brutally kill a high-ranking official or celebrity in front of a crowd in a busy city.

A single itinerant killer is enough to trigger a city-wide panic...

The fact that a mobile murderer can commit hundreds, thousands, or even more crimes without being arrested, and even cause more serious harm, is enough to trigger panic and unrest!
