Chapter 1088: Where the Foundation Is
h2> Xiao Cheng frowned, put away the Shaoyang Sword, a Jindan Beginner Realm powerhouse, he couldn't jump out of his palm at all, there was no need to rush for a while, figure out the situation first.
Tu Yuanjia understood and immediately ordered someone to put Wang Dakong up. At this time, Wang Dazao was already paralyzed with fright, his face was blue, and he trembled all over, allowing the clouds to control him.
Seeing that Xiao Cheng had temporarily let Wang Da go, the old man was relieved, and hurriedly kowtowed to Xiao Cheng: "Thank you, thank you, thank you! Your lord's great kindness will never be forgotten!"
The old man's age was at least sixty or seventy years old, Xiao Cheng felt that something was wrong, so he immediately dodged away, stretched out his hand and signaled: "Uncle, let's take a step to talk, I want to hear the general situation here." ā
The old man followed Xiao Cheng to the wine shop, there were no guests in the wine shop, Xiao Cheng casually found a stone pier to sit down, and asked why the old man pleaded with him just now to let Wang Da go, the old man was a little inconvenient to speak, and he didn't speak for a long time, just thanked Xiao Cheng vigorously.
Then the girl who was less than fifteen years old opened her mouth and explained to Xiao Cheng roughly, it turned out that there were many bandit cottages in the Yunmeng Xuan Realm, who often came here to rob money and so on, if they didn't give it, they would kill people.
The people of the entire Cloud City dare not speak out, and the extreme patriarch does not dare to provoke these bandits, who are stronger than people, so they can only swallow their anger.
Just now, Wang Da is the fifth master of Sharjah Village, and he often comes to Yunxiao City to eat and drink and bully men and women, and there are more than a dozen women who have been snatched from Yunxiao City, and they have done a lot of evil deeds.
The reason why the old man interceded for Wang Da was because he regarded Xiao Cheng as a passerby, Xiao Cheng came forward to kill Wang Da, and he could slap his ass and leave.
But their family was born and raised here, and Sharjah Village will definitely not let them go, and when the time comes, not only his family, but even his relatives will be killed a lot, in contrast, he would rather his daughter be snatched away.
After listening to the girl's explanation, Xiao Cheng's face became a little ugly, the cultivation world is so cruel and realistic, he can't even protect his daughter without strength, and in the same way, Yunxiao City has been weak for too long, and its comprehensive strength is too poor, and it is also used as fish and meat to be slaughtered wantonly.
In this way, if you want to rebuild Cloud City on this ruin, you need to solve three problems.
The first is the problem of survival, first of all, the water source, only by solving the water source, can people survive, cultivators are also people, if they do not reach the realm of Jindan, they need to drink water and eat, even if they reach Jindan, there are very few people who do not eat and drink water.
The second is the problem of banditry, if the banditry cannot be solved, there will be no peace in Cloud City.
The third is the problem of the cultivation environment, where there is a lack of spiritual energy, so that the cultivation of more than 40,000 aborigines here is generally very low, so they will be deceived by bandits.
The first problem is easy to solve, there is a dead dog, let the dead dog arrange a large array of water drawing. The third problem can only be solved step by step, first change the natural environment here, with dense vegetation can lock in the escape of spiritual energy, and then supplemented by the spirit gathering array, the cultivation environment will naturally change.
The problem of bandits is a bit troublesome, but it is expected that the power of these bandits will not be too strong, most of them do not have out-of-body realm powerhouses, and they have out-of-body cultivation, I am afraid they are not willing to do this kind of thing, and they disdain to rob such a desolate place in Cloud City.
With his current strength, more than 2,000 people above the peak of Jindan can crush a second-rate sect in an instant.
"What bandit forces have looted here?How many of them are there?,And what is the strength?" Xiao Cheng smiled faintly and asked in a harmonious voice.
"There are a lot of them, Sharjah Village, Yunli Village, Tuojia Gang ......" The girl Yiyi listed the names of these bandit forces, and listed more than twenty, and said with a sigh of relief: "The number of each bandit force is uncertain, there are about seven thousand people in total, and it is said that there are strong people at the peak of Yuanying ......"
Xiao Cheng nodded, wrote down all the names of the bandit forces listed by the girl, smiled faintly, and said to himself: "It seems that the number of people is not much, only seven thousand people, it's time to move your muscles and bones, it takes labor to rebuild Yunxiao City, and the newly recruited more than two thousand powerhouses also need to practice and practice, killing two birds with one stone!"
Xiao Cheng already has a general plan, planning to take the initiative to exterminate these bandits who have robbed Yunxiao City, firstly, to boil down these new strong men, and secondly, to capture these bandits as strong men to rebuild Yunxiao City.
On the other hand, this move is also a kind of deterrent, so that other bandit forces will not dare to fight the idea of Cloud City in the future. When the girl heard Xiao Cheng say that 7,000 people seemed to be very few, she couldn't help but be stunned, she couldn't believe her ears, is 7,000 still a few?
For Xiao Cheng, 7,000 people is indeed not much, with the improvement of cultivation and the broadening of horizons, not to mention the first-class sects, even the second-rate sects are prone to tens of thousands of people, compared to 7,000 people is really nothing.
Xiao Cheng patted the girl's shoulder, took out four True Yuan Pills and handed them to Shao Xuan, and said with a smile: "Your name is Ah Duo, isn't it?
The girl has never seen the pill since she was a child, the word pill is undoubtedly an extremely distant and unfamiliar word for her, smelling the pure medicinal power, she was stunned for a while, and subconsciously stretched out her chapped little hand to take the four pills, and thanked her repeatedly.
At this time, there was a commotion outside the door: "Who are you, adults are discussing inside, and you are not allowed to trespass!"
Outside the door, dozens of Yunxiao guards stood in two rows, invisibly exuding a murderous aura, and three gray-haired old men were stopped outside.
The three old men were naturally the patriarchs of the three major surnames, and they were extremely angry when they learned that the water source was occupied, and they came here with great momentum, and they were immediately a little scared when they saw these majestic Yunxiao Guards.
"We are here to meet you adults, and we hope to be accommodating!" An old man's wrinkled old face was full of smiles, and he arched his hand to Tu Yuanjia.
While speaking, Xiao Cheng strode out and came to the door. The three old men noticed Xiao Cheng at the same time, but they didn't expect Xiao Cheng to be so young, and he was magnificent, and his gestures exuded a majesty that a superior person should have, which made people dare not face it.
Without special explanation, the three patriarchs guessed that this young man must be the leader of this group, and hurriedly surrendered his hand. Xiao Cheng glanced at the three of them, the three of them were relatively old, two Jindan peak powerhouses, one Yuanying Initial Realm powerhouse, and most of the three were the strongest cultivators in Yunxiao City.
"The three should be the patriarchs of the three major surnames in Cloud City, and I am about to visit you!" Xiao Cheng smiled faintly, stretching out his hand to invite the three of them into the wine shop.
Glancing at Xiao Cheng's gaze, the three of them only felt their hearts beating, and they were keenly aware that the young man in front of them was cultivating above the three of them, even if the three of them were together, they might not be the opponents of the young man.
The three of them hurriedly arched their hands and said, "Don't dare, don't dare, it should be me waiting to meet you!"
The three of them walked into the wine shop and sat down with apprehension, Xiao Cheng didn't mean to talk nonsense, his time was a little tight, he was going to Kunlun Neixu next month, and he wanted to clear the obstacles to the reconstruction of Yunxiao City as much as possible in just one month.
Xiao Cheng took out a contract and put it on the uneven wine table, and said with a faint smile: "This is the sub-contract of the city lord of Yunxiao City, I am not here to pass by, but to take over the entire Yunxiao City, I don't know if the three of them have any opinions or build yƬ!"
The three patriarchs didn't know what Xiao Cheng was doing when he came to Yunxiao City, the news here was too closed, and they didn't know anything about the world's competition, hearing this news, they were all stunned, and a trace of surprise flashed in the old eyes.
After Xiao Cheng finished speaking, he paid attention to the expressions of the three people, and to his disappointment, he couldn't see any joy on the faces of the three people, but was sad, as if he had brought them a lot of trouble when he came to be the city lord.
The three of them quickly digested this shocking fact, and said with a wry smile: "It turned out to be the city lord, disrespectful and disrespectful, how can I have any opinions, I only listen to the orders of the city lord, I don't know what the city lord has to say?"
"There's nothing to order, oh, by the way, at six o'clock in the afternoon, please ask the three patriarchs to gather all the aborigines of Cloud City, a simple ceremony needs to be held, and the rest will be talked about after the ceremony!" Xiao Cheng saw that the three of them did not object, so he said his arrangement.
Although he doesn't like any ceremonies, this ceremony is necessary, and it is necessary to let everyone know about his existence as the lord of the city, and a ceremony will also have a subtle psychological impact on everyone, making it easier to gather people's hearts.
"Jin listens to the city lord's orders, then I'll arrange it immediately!" The three patriarchs stood up at the same time, and did enough etiquette, Xiao Cheng nodded, and the three of them left the wine shop with oil on the soles of their feet.
After the three of them left, Xiao Cheng's brows furrowed, and he had an indescribable sense of powerlessness, he could clearly feel the resistance of the three of them, and he was reluctant to become the city lord of Yunxiao City, but the three of them just obeyed, so he couldn't do anything.
"What went wrong?" Xiao Cheng thought hard for a while, and couldn't understand it, so he had to give up, find Tu Yuanjia, and order a lot of arrangements, now he first needs to solve the problem of the residence of more than 2,000 people under his command and the problem of water sources here, and he has no spare time to ponder the mentality of the three old patriarchs.
In a dark stone room, the light of the size of oil lamps barely illuminated the surroundings, and the three patriarchs reunited, their faces all showing embarrassment, and their gray eyebrows tightly twisted together.
Ma Yuanxiang sighed and said quietly: "The last city lord, we gathered enough thousands of spirit stones to send him away, I don't know how many spirit stones it will cost this time, hey, I think it's very troublesome." ā
"Yes, the last city lord and the current city lord are not comparable at all, you see that he is strong and strong, according to Ma San's report, he came here with more than 2,000 people, people eat horses and chew, and the daily consumption is a huge amount, and we can't afford to raise it in Yunxiao City. ā
"I hope he will retreat from the difficulty, leave here as soon as possible, and don't let him discover that treasure, which is the foundation of our entire Cloud City......"
