C314 Stable Zhengkun City

Secure the Zhengkun City in chapter 313.

The five of them submitted to Gai Yin. After Gai Yin's guidance, they had completely surrendered to him.

After that, Gai Yin let the five of them go of the Kingdom Affair Map. He treated them differently from the eighteen of them, but he also said something similar, hoping that they could expand their territory. Gai Yin was willing to use gold, silver, and jewelry to exchange for the territory of the city.

After everything was arranged, Ren Baixue found Gai Yin and told him that she needed to leave Gudian City. She wanted to observe all the cities that Gai Yin had obtained on the spot.

Ren Baixue said, "To establish a new force, we need to win the hearts of people. Not only do we need a large amount of money, we also need to give them what they want and help them solve their problems."

"Take Gudian City as an example. When the three Yao brothers were the city lords, they only knew how to plunder the cultivators in the city and never considered these cultivators. In the long run, if the cultivators of the city lords unite and resist the three Yao brothers, what would the three Yao brothers do?"

Gai Yin nodded. He thought what Ren Baixue said made sense.

"The reason why the cultivators in Gudian City did not resist was because it is now a war-torn era. They just want to avoid chaos. Once the war is over, they will leave. That's why they can tolerate it."

Gai Yin said with a smile. "You're right. The cultivators who came to Gudian City were all people who took refuge. How could they easily start a war? Therefore, they could tolerate the three Yao brothers' plundering."

"However, if the war ends and the cultivators in this city change batch after batch, if the three Yao brothers continue to do this, they will definitely be overthrown."

Ren Baixue lightly smiled and said, "So what we need to do now is to leave all the cultivators who are taking refuge in the various cities and make them not leave and work for your new power."

Gai Yin snorted and shook his head. "This is very difficult. I only want to get the cities, but those cultivators can leave as they wish. After all, there are cities. I don't believe that there are no other cultivators joining."

"Why do you think so? Wouldn't that be too troublesome?" Ren Baixue smiled and shook her head, "As long as we leave these people behind and train them, give them cultivation resources, give them what they need, and give them a stable living environment, they will definitely stay."

"Really?" Gai Yin asked.

"Of course. If you don't believe me, you can let me give it a try. We will know in a month's time." Ren Baixue said.

Gai Yin thought about it and felt that he could let Ren Baixue give it a try, so he agreed.

Everything started from Gudian City. Ren Baixue started to change the way all the cities operated. She wanted to turn the outsiders in the cities into long-term residents.

As for Gai Yin, he was still working hard to expand the territory.

The next city was ranked third in the Great Ancient Luo Domain, and it was called Zhengkun City.

The three Yao brothers accompanied Gai Yin to Zhengkun City. This Zhengkun City was incomparable to any other city.

The other cities were cities that the Nine Nether Divine Soul Sect had forgotten about during the war. However, this Zhengkun City was not one of them. It was the third largest city in the Nine Nether Divine Soul Sect. It was just that it was very far away from the Nine Nether Divine Soul Sect.

It could be said that the eastern region of the Nine Nether Divine Soul Sect was in chaos. Only the Zhengkun City wasn't in chaos.

The city lord of the Zhengkun City was a cultivator who had opened eight Forbidden Gate, and was currently trying to break through to the ninth Forbidden Gate.

With such an expert guarding the Zhengkun City, no one would dare to have any ideas about the Zhengkun City.

When Gai Yin and the three Yao brothers arrived outside of Zhengkun City, Boss Yao asked: "young master Lian. How do you think we should subdue this city?"

Gai Yin stared at Boss Yao and said, "Split up."

"Ah? What do you have in mind?" Boss Yao stared at Gai Yin.

Gai Yin said. "Let's sneak into the city first and understand the situation inside."

"How about we disguise ourselves as unaffiliated people and sneak into the Zhengkun City?" Boss Yao thought for a moment and said.

Gai Yin nodded. "If you dress up as unaffiliated people,i'll pretend to be an injured person..."

"Then how do we contact each other?" Boss Yao asked.

"Nine hawk calls for orders. Let's attack the Prefecture together." Gai Yin said.

"Alright." The three Yao brothers nodded their heads. Then, they pretended to be unaffiliated and headed towards Zhengkun City.

After the three Yao brothers entered the Zhengkun City, Gai Yin started heading towards the city gates of Zhengkun City.

When Gai Yin approached the city gates of Zhengkun City, there were guards as well. However, Gai Yin pretended to be injured and fell in front of the gate.

When the guards saw a person fall in front of the city gate, they quickly went forward to help Gai Yin up. However, Gai Yin was unconscious.

"What... what should we do?" The guard snorted and couldn't help but ask.

Another city guard said: "This person clearly fainted from exhaustion. Let's help him into the city and save him."

The city defender who was supporting Gai Yin nodded and said, "Alright then. Saving a life is better than building a seven-storied pagoda. Saving a life."

After saying that, the two of them helped Gai Yin into a house in the city. One of them said to the other, "You guard the city gate first. I'll go into the city to buy some medicine."

"Alright, you go. I'm watching."

After that, Gai Yin heard the sound of the two of them leaving the house. He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Why are you so kind?"

In order to make it sound real, Gai Yin thought for a while and closed his eyes. He didn't open them again.

After a long time, the door was opened again. The person who had gone to buy medicine came back. He started to make medicine for Gai Yin.

These medicines were all top quality spirit medicines, not ordinary herbs. Because Gai Yin was unconscious, the gatekeeper felt that Gai Yin was overtired, so he bought medicine to relieve his fatigue and fried it for Gai Yin.

After the medicine was cooked, the gatekeeper fed Gai Yin again. Finally, Gai Yin slowly opened his eyes.

"Oh, brother, you're awake?"

Gai Yin looked at the gatekeeper and nodded. He asked, "Did you save me?"

"Yes, but not really. You just passed out from exhaustion. I just caught you a herbal medicine to relieve stress." The city defender smiled.

Gai Yin cupped his fists and thanked this person. He asked, "What is the name of the benefactor? You must repay his great kindness."

"My name is Fu Yun. It's fine if I repay your kindness. This is not a great kindness." Fu Yun stood up and said with a smile.

Gai Yin also stood up. He changed the topic and asked, "Brother Fu, what is this place?"

Fu Yun said, "This is Zhengkun City. Why? Don't you know this place?"

Gai Yin shook his head and said, "I was chased all the way here. I was in a panic. I don't know where this place is."

"What? Brother, did you escape all the way here?" Fu Yun stared at Gai Yin and asked.

Gai Yin nodded and said, "I came from the Gudian City. It's too chaotic there. I encountered many robbers along the way. I was chased by them and fled all the way here. I'm exhausted."

"Sigh, the Gudian City is really chaotic there. Many cultivators went there to avoid the chaos, but they didn't know that it was the most chaotic place there." Fu Yun shook his head and said with a sigh.

"Brother Fu, is this the Zhengkun City? I heard that the Zhengkun City is the safest place in the entire Eastern Divine Region." Gai Yin asked hastily.

"That's right. This place is the safest place. However, many unaffiliated people started causing trouble after entering this place. They were all going to be killed by the City Lord." Fu Yun said.

"Oh, the City Lord kills people?"

"Of course. Our Nine Nether Divine Soul Sect is currently fighting with other sects, so we have no time to care about the Eastern Divine Region. That's why the cities in the Eastern Divine Region are in chaos and are taken away by someone. But our Zhengkun City is different. The City Lord of Zhengkun City is very powerful, and the city is huge. No one would dare to attack our Zhengkun City."

"Some rogue cultivators who came here to avoid chaos must follow the rules of the Zhengkun City. Those who don't obey the rules will be killed by the City Lord."

Fu Yun explained to Gai Yin.

Gai Yin nodded and said, "Then I will settle down in Zhengkun City."

When Fu Yun heard that, he said, "Then brother, you still have to pay the entrance fee."

"Oh, is it expensive?"

... "Compared to the entrance fee for other cities, the entry fee for our Zhengkun City is very low."

"Since the Zhengkun City is so stable, why is the entry fee so low?" Gai Yin was puzzled.

"Because my city lord has the virtue of living a good life. He doesn't want to see a cultivator die tragically, so the entry fee is very low."

"Then why are there so few people entering the Zhengkun City?" Gai Yin didn't understand.

Since entering the city was cheap and the city was stable, why did the cultivators of Great Ancient Luo go to other cities to seek refuge?

Fu Yun laughed and said, "After entering the Zhengkun City, you have to abide by the rules. After many cultivators know the rules of the Zhengkun City, they feel that they can't take advantage of the chaos to get rich, so they choose to go to other cities."

"Other cities won't be so strict. There are often thieves and robberies in that city. Even the City Lord has started to rob. Do you think they can stay in the Zhengkun City?"

After Gai Yin heard these words, he thought for a while. What Fu Yun said was true. Wasn't the three Yao brothers in Gudian City the cultivators who plundered the City Lord?

And those cultivators who were robbed were fighting amongst themselves. If you rob me,i rob you. As long as you don't die, everything will be fine.

This is a world where the strong prey on the weak, every place is the same.

However, Zhengkun City was different. It had its own set of rules. Anyone who violated it would die. Therefore, those rogue cultivators and cultivators felt that Zhengkun City wasn't a good place to go.

In other words, most of the cultivators in the Eastern Region did not seek refuge, but went to make money through disaster.

Thinking of this, Gai Yin let out a long sigh. Perhaps Ren Baixue was right. Only by setting rules for those cultivators and solving their problems would they stay in the city.

But this was also very difficult. There were tens of thousands of cultivators in one city, and hundreds of thousands in dozens of cities.

It was really hard to change the lives of hundreds of thousands of people and let them live a normal life.

After Gai Yin paid a certain fee to enter the city, he thanked Fu Yun for saving his life and then entered the city.

The Zhengkun City was just as Fu Yun had said. Living in such a city, one wouldn't be able to feel the chaos outside the city, because the city was bustling with noise. The streets were bustling with people, and the sound of business was incessant. This was the symbol of prosperity.

Would such a prosperous city exist in a war-torn era?

Gai Yin didn't think so. But now, he saw it. This was really unexpected.

After walking around the city twice, Gai Yin suddenly heard a loud noise coming from the street.

"Ah, young master Jin is going to walk again today. Let's go and take a look."

"Indeed. I have to go and take a look. I still have to go and challenge him. Who knows, maybe he will win and obtain some extremely precious pills."

"Then let's hurry up and leave. Otherwise, the quota will be full."

Gai Yin listened to the conversation of the crowd and obviously didn't understand what was going on. What was the meaning of this?

Walking? Gai Yin had only heard of walking dogs.
