As soon as these words were spoken.
Everyone present changed their expressions.
At this mont, they realized that Xu Wendong had invited them to dinner, not just for a simple al.
No!
To be precise, if they wanted to enjoy this al, they needed to show so sincerity; it couldn’t be a free ride.
As the leader of the Red Flower Society, the number one among over thirty forces, Xiong Chumo was the first to express her stance: "Our Red Flower Society is willing to heed Lord Xu’s call and contribute one million spirit stones to Carefree City in a gesture within our ans!"
She and Xu Wendong were close friends, naturally, she would be the first to stand up and support Xu Wendong.
Hearing Xiong Chumo’s words, other leaders of the forces, though reluctant, also expressed their willingness to donate spirit stones to assist the developnt of Carefree City.
Chu Ye was the registrar of Carefree City; she was holding pen and paper, recording the amount of spirit stones donated by each person, responsible for coordinating the work.
In less than the ti of one cup of tea, over thirty Jianghu forces had donated eighteen million spirit stones.
This was undoubtedly a sizable sum, as Carefree City’s total inco over the years hadn’t reached five million.
Xu Wendong continued, "To promote the developnt of Carefree City, spirit stones alone are far from enough; we also need vast manpower."
"As far as I know, your thirty-one sects have a total of sixty thousand mbers, and these people need to be ready for deploynt at any ti."
Everyone’s expressions changed; they could accept paying for peace.
But if they had to accept Xu Wendong’s deploynt, it was sothing they were unwilling to see.
After all, what cultivators yearn for most is a life of freedom and independence.
This contradicts their original intention for entering Carefree City.
Xu Wendong paid no attention to these people and said indifferently, "Of course, I will not treat you poorly."
"I will re-register everyone, regardless of your ancestral origins or whether you carry any cris; I will give you a brand new identity."
Boom!
His words were like a bolt from the blue, causing everyone’s scalp to tingle.
Though they didn’t want to follow Xu Wendong’s dispatch.
There was one thing undeniable.
The conditions he offered were truly tempting.
After all, most of the cultivators entering Carefree City carried so cris; otherwise, they wouldn’t have co here.
To put it simply.
He offered everyone a chance to start anew!
"The Sandao Association is willing to follow Lord Xu’s dispatch, risking life and limb without hesitation!" A middle-aged man stood up excitedly.
Tears welled up in his eyes, and his body trembled.
His thoughts are with his parents and wife and children.
Unfortunately, he carried cris on his shoulders, barely surviving in Carefree City.
"Willing to follow Lord Xu’s dispatch, risking life and limb without hesitation!"
More and more people stood up, expressing their attitudes.
Xu Wendong portrayed calmness, as all of this was within his expectations; he didn’t believe anyone could refuse the chance to start anew.
"Let express my ideas!" Xu Wendong’s voice rang out again, originally chaotic scene suddenly quieted down to pin-drop silence: "I plan to cultivate a plain, where grains, spirit rice, and spirit fruits will be planted!"
"I wonder what thoughts you all have?"
The crowd looked at each other, although speechless, they felt this idea was immature.
Pei Yuanlang stood up and respectfully said, "Lord Xu, Carefree City is mostly mountainous, with special geographical location; there is no suitable place to cultivate land."
"Although there is a plain five thousand miles southwest, close to the sea, the land there is saline-alkali soil, which makes it impossible to cultivate crops."
"Though the Northeast has flat terrain, it belongs to Beiming Country; only a few good fields are available, and cultivation costs are high."
"The Northwest is similar, with so good fields, but adjacent to Langya Country."
"Throughout the territory of Carefree City, the area of arable land doesn’t exceed a thousand acres; moreover, it is very scattered, with no cultivation necessity."
Xu Wendong: "Then let’s level the mountains within Carefree City’s scope!"
The mont his words fell, a yellowish light roared out from within his body, directly flying toward the mountain range a hundred miles east.
Though night had fallen, the moon hung high in the sky, and cultivators have extraordinary eyesight, they could clearly see the distant scene.
As the County Seal flew above the distant mountain range, Xu Wendong pinched the spell with one hand.
In an instant.
The County Seal erupted with a terrifying ray of light, like a blazing sun, illuminating the land.
When the light dimd, a County Seal about ten thousand feet high, shaped like a mountain, was floating in the sky.
Even separated by hundreds of miles, everyone still felt a destructive power sweeping forth.
"Fall!"
Xu Wendong’s voice sounded crisp.
The next mont.
The massive County Seal heavily struck the mountain range below.
Boom!
With a deafening explosion resounding through the night, the ground began to tremble.
Giving a vision of the impending apocalypse.
Even the entire Carefree City trembled, causing panic and unease.
Fortunately, Carefree City had a protective formation, or else it would’ve turned into ruins.
Whiz!
The County Seal turned into a light and flew back into Xu Wendong’s body, and everyone was shocked to see that the mountain range that had stood for tens of thousands of years had indeed been leveled.
Gasp!
Everyone was breathless, a strong sense of suffocation spreading.
They all knew the terror of the County Seal!
But no one expected it to be terrifying to this extent.
Even strong cultivators like Shen Congwen, Pei Yuanlang, Du Nanqiu in the Great Ascension Late Stage, had lingering fears.
They asked themselves, if the County Seal had appeared above their heads just now, even with their Great Ascension Late Stage cultivation level, they would have been spirit-scattered and soul-lost.
It truly was frightening beyond asure!
"Lord Xu, you are confused!"
At this ti.
The voice of County Official Liu Zhengtong rang, full of anxiety: "All mountains in the Blackwater Kingdom are registered, each mountain holds a value; unauthorized destruction affects our Blackwater Kingdom’s feng shui and national fortune!"
"This is a serious cri, leading to spirit scattered and soul shattered!"
Upon hearing this.
Except for Xiong Chumo and Chen Xi, everyone else felt a secret joy.
They hadn’t expected even mountains had a registry, much less that arbitrary destruction of mountains would be a serious cri.
This made them very excited and happy.
No matter how Xu Wendong refined the County Seal, becoming the invincible of Carefree City, what of it?
If you violate the law, no one can protect you.
Xu Wendong chuckled lightly: "I, Mr. Xu, do not believe a few mountains can affect my Blackwater Kingdom’s feng shui and national fortune."
"I only know, the people’s well-being and happiness is the best feng shui and national fortune!"
"If I am truly guilty."
"Then let the heavens judge ."
"To die for all beings, my heart has no regrets!"
