A swarm of heavy artillery bombarded the cultivators.

Chapter 1387: Lord of the Swamp Demon City
Jiang Ding's spiritual consciousness took over the entire Swamp Demon City and he quickly gained a general understanding of the situation here.

"The permanent population is 3.47 million, and all of them are at least in the Qi training stage."

"There are two direct armed forces. The 100,000-man Mud City Guard includes more than 50 Spiritualization cultivators, more than 10,000 Nascent Soul cultivators, and the rest are Golden Core cultivators. They are responsible for guarding the Mud Demon City."

"The other is called the Swamp Dark Guards, which consists of dozens of Divine Transformation cultivators and thousands of Nascent Soul cultivators. They are responsible for gathering intelligence and executing some personal matters from the Swamp True Venerable, such as eliminating certain people, collecting some living souls for sacrifice to the Yin-Yang Tadpoles, or harvesting some blood food to feed the Jade Green Toads... The most important thing is of course to collect sixth-tier natural treasures."

"Relying on the vast commercial channels of the Swamp Demon City, one or two sixth-rank natural treasures can still appear in a few hundred years. However, it is not as stable as the two major sects, so it all depends on luck."

Jiang Ding frowned secretly as he looked at the place where many demon cultivators gathered in the city.

Many of these demon cultivators are the secret guards of the Swamp Demon City. The whole place is a den of filth and dirt, where robbery, murder, and the collection of human souls and flesh for refining often happen. There is a lot of chaos mixed in with the order, and the name of this demon city is not false.

Looking at these things from a global perspective, Jiang Ding felt even more deeply and disliked them even more than when he was wandering alone in the swampy magic city.

He has the ability to prevent himself from being affected by these dirty things, but many monks and many living beings do not have such freedom.

"Order,"

"The Corpse Demon Lord, the Ten Thousand Food Lord, the Soul Devouring Lord... and the other twenty-seven people, commit suicide immediately."

Jiang Ding gave orders to the Swamp Secret Guards in a cold tone.

These people are all old demons who were made from human cultivators. They are extremely powerful among the Divine Transformation cultivators and have always been relied upon by the True Lord of the Swamp.

At this time, they were suddenly asked to commit suicide.

reason?

There is no reason.

The True Lord of the Swamp is a demon cultivator. He can kill anyone he wants, even if he is in a bad mood. This is perfectly reasonable. Such things have happened from time to time in the past ten thousand years and are not surprising at all.

"Yes,"

"Your Highness!"

Outside the palace, a tall, beautiful woman with bat wings on her back bowed and accepted the order. Without any thought of asking for the reason, she left with a team of demonic monks.

This is the Dark Lord of the Swamp Dark Guards, Yefu Tianjun, a cultivator at the peak of the Incarnation Realm. He has the blood of a demon bat, is extremely powerful, and is renowned in the Swamp Demon City.

She is loyal to the True Lord of the Quagmire...on the surface.

In fact, this half-demon has always harbored ill will towards the True Lord of the Swamp, and has been eyeing the throne of the Lord of the Swamp Demon City, with a greedy ambition to be promoted to the realm of refining emptiness.

The True Lord of the Quagmire found this very amusing.

He secretly set a restriction in this woman's soul, and then promoted her to the Dark Lord of the Swamp Dark Guard, because this kind of cultivator with strong ambitions is really reliable, efficient and very useful.

The Dark Lord was very efficient. After only a few minutes, she had returned, holding a pile of dead heads in her arms, and placed them neatly in front of the True Lord of the Swamp.

"My Lord,"

"They were grateful for your kindness and felt guilty, so they committed suicide."

The Dark Lord said respectfully.

"You did very well."

Jiang Ding nodded slightly and bestowed a Buddhist scripture named "The Great Light Golden Roc Sutra", which was a good spell containing some philosophy that taught people to be good.

"I hope to be kind to others."

"You must be a good person from now on, a kind person, otherwise I will beat you to death, understand?" "Thank you, Lord!"

The Dark Lord bowed respectfully and took the Buddhist scripture with both hands: "I will study it carefully and live up to your expectations. I will learn from the legendary Buddha and be a good person."

"Not bad."

"Hahaha!"

Jiang Ding laughed.

This crazy state made the hearts of many Heavenly Kings around him even colder. They bowed again and then slowly backed away, not daring to stay in the palace for long.

"Now is not the time for Tushan Order to be covered..."

Jiang Ding looked around with a little regret.

All he could do was to execute some monks who were too evil, but he was powerless to do anything about this entire piece of root soil.

Radical reforms must be implemented only after his safety is completely assured, otherwise they will bring more suffering to the living beings on this land.

If the plan goes well, he will run away in a few hundred years. If there are really comrades who truly support him, how can he abandon them at that time?
In this case, it is better to put it aside for the time being.

A temporary retreat is not a compromise, but is only for the long-term stability of the meteorite world in the future.

"Order,"

"Collect a lot of materials, including a large number of ordinary materials, ordinary plants and animals, first-, second-, third-, and fourth-level natural treasures, specimens... I need everything."

"What we need most is a lot of sword-making materials. We need to collect a large amount of them."

"There are also many techniques, secret techniques, spells, alchemy, equipment, spirit farming and spirit beast inheritances that can be collected. There is everything. No duplication is allowed. All of them must be recorded in one copy."

Jiang Ding sent orders to the cabinet of the Swamp Demon City, asking them to carry out the orders and set relatively generous rewards.

This is the advantage of having a power. With one order, all the materials and specimens needed by the immortal gate can be obtained without spending any effort.

These materials unique to the upper realm will surely greatly promote the progress of immortal science such as material smelting, alchemy, and refining.

The same is true for many inheritances from the upper realm. Even if their grade is not high, they still have a lot of value.

Moreover, it is the human heritage that is in the same racial system and the same immortal system. The immortal gate can digest and absorb it very smoothly, and the difficulty is far less than that of inheritance from other races.

Just these things, accumulated little by little, are at least equivalent to obtaining several Hedao-level inheritances for the Immortal Sect.

Although many classic magic skills are of low grade, they have actually been passed down for millions or even tens of millions of years. After being refined and improved by generations of immortal cultivators, they have reached an extremely perfect level. Their value is immeasurable to those forces that do not have relevant inheritance. They are simply the crystallization of the brilliant wisdom of millions of years of immortal cultivators.

“These are low-level.”

"The rest is to order the Void Refining Grade sword-making materials I need from Tiangonglou, which has the background of the Immortal Artifact Sect, and mix the materials with many life rules and space rules as a cover."

Jiang Ding took out a token with the two immortal characters "Tian Gong" written on it, poured his spiritual consciousness into it, and left a message inside.

There was a ready-made reason why Master Nizwan suddenly became rich. He met a seriously injured foreign cultivator and gained a lot after a trip. That was all.

Tiangonglou is not a government office. They are only responsible for selling goods and collecting taxes, and do not care about the identity of the person who can provide profits.

What's more, the True Lord of the Swamp has not even been canonized with the name of 'True Sect'. To the Tiangong Tower, he is just a wild force that can rise and fall at any time. His life or death is none of their business.
