Chapter 973: Chapter 10: You? Worthy?!
After Batuer and his group entered this town, they went to those remote areas to settle.
Thus, this ‘city’, which seed far less prosperous than a small town in the Central Plains, finally had so vitality. Presided over by Fan Qing, in accordance with the rules of the Qilin Army, they first gathered all the townsfolk and presented the deed that Miss had previously purchased for this land, declaring Li Guanyi’s legal legitimacy over it.
Imdiately, they brought those noble lords and nurous foreign monks onto the stage.
The townsfolk saw these previously arrogant elites tied up and kneeling there, their bodies limp and paralyzed, leaving them speechless.
Following Li Guanyi’s orders, Fan Qing brought up the boxes of rit money and publicly read out the actions of these nobles and foreign monks. After a public trial, these foreign monks and nobles were executed according to the law.
Following that, a three-day law court was held to resolve the many cases within the city-state.
The granaries were opened to aid the people, and the recorded rit money was returned in full. Even so, a large portion of gold and silver was left behind and absorbed into the public treasury.
Thus, all the townsfolk submitted wholeheartedly. With Pan Wanxiu and Gongsun Huaizhi assisting the Batuer Tribe to settle down, all affairs proceeded thodically and systematically. Batuer, watching the rejuvenated city-state and considering the promised dwelling of Tiange’er, fell into contemplation.
In the end, he gave up thinking.
“This is what traveling rchants from the Central Plains are like.”
“So that’s how it is.”
“So powerful, traveling rchants of the Central Plains!”
At this mont, Li Guanyi, looking at the statue, tapped his finger on his forehead, pondering for a mont—on this object gathered the Qi Fortune of the town’s people over a hundred years. Though not much, in Li Guanyi’s current state, it could alleviate his urgent needs.
But the premise is to first cast the Nine Cauldrons.
Now, with the territory, popular support, and Divine Charm unified, they could choose a day to cast the cauldron and refine the Demon Sect’s Qi Fortune. However, what Li Guanyi was more concerned about was what Xiao Yuxue had said—
She had left a trace of her Divine Charm on the Demon Sect statues in various places.
This ant the Demon Sect was already aware that Li Guanyi’s group had occupied this place.
Li Guanyi conveyed this information to the mbers of the Heavenly Strategy Mansion.
“According to previous inferences, if the Demon Sect’s traces are found in various city-states in the Western Regions, our location might be exposed, and we could easily face the Demon Sect’s attacks and targeting…”
Lei Laong and others fell into silent thought, as Li Guanyi spoke:
“Thus, to solve this problem, there’s only one solution.”
Li Guanyi looked at the geographical map laid out on the table.
At the side, characters appeared on the Mystic Turtle Dharma Form’s back, written by the faraway old Siming, detailing the Whale Hunter’s actions, conveying them to Li Guanyi.
Li Guanyi pressed his forehead, seriously contemplating.
By now, he understood that the Demon Sect’s forces in the Western Regions were vast and complex, deeply rooted, and though the Whale Hunter was formidable, able to disrupt an entire major Demon Sect base alone, however—
The major base was in the city-state, surrounded by towns and villages.
Inside were nobles, foreign monks, and even low-level leaders mixed among the common folk, many of whom were Demon Sect disciples.
Even as a Martial Arts Legend like the Whale Hunter, he could not kill them all nor uproot them completely. And even if to intimidate, the Whale Hunter alone couldn’t easily astonish such a large area.
In this chaotic world, achieving this can only be done by one entity—
A systematically organized army.
The Demon Sect is no longer an ordinary martial world sect; it’s a hidden structure within the martial world, resembling a national system.
Li Guanyi pressed his forehead, analyzing the potential outcos.
If the Whale Hunter, in anger, attacked and uprooted a major Demon Sect base, the Demon Sect would inevitably suffer severe harm, with high-level experts being defeated by the legendary master. Yet, the remaining mbers would escape from various corners.
The Demon Sect might lie dormant for a dozen years but could rise again.
Li Guanyi, having previously attacked the Demon Sect’s sect master, combined with past grievances, both sides are already at deadly odds, and to bring peace to this world, such an evil cult must be eradicated.
Li Guanyi opened his eyes and said, “In that case.”
“Strike first to gain the upper hand.”
“Fan Qing, Changsun, prepare the troops. After defeating the Huyan family’s army behind us, seize their supplies and armor. Once we converge with reinforcents, we will proceed forward—”
Li Guanyi’s finger slid sharply downward on the map at his location.
“Destroy this Demon Sect!”
With just these four words, the aura of martial roguishness dissipated, replaced by the formidable aura of a lord and a renowned general, surging forth. The mbers of the Heavenly Strategy Mansion exchanged glances, all saluting and responding in unison:
“Yes!”
“Following the lord’s military order!”
Li Guanyi gazed at the geographical map, stood up, and lanted that although he was sowhat skilled in all aspects, in the grand sche, he was ultimately inferior to those genius strategists. At this mont, a voice was heard from outside:
“Lord, we have news!”
“General Nangong has returned with a letter from Mr. Po Jun.”
Breaking Army’s news?!
Li Guanyi was overjoyed and said, “Perfect timing!”
“Quickly let her in!”
