The ancient giant bear hiding in the world of immortal cultivation

Chapter 397: A show of force

The new leader can disregard the branch altar in Dragon Head City because he was parachuted in and has powerful backers.

Although Wang Wu now has powerful backers, Master Hui is actually just investing and letting things run wild.

It's possible that Dragon Head City will become his stronghold and home in the future. He will have to stay here in seclusion for at least eight hundred years until he reaches the ninth level of Earth Immortal.

Therefore, there can be no perfunctory work or negligence. Building Dragon Head City is even more important than his cultivation.

So, how do we get started?

Ok?
"Because you are the acting head of the Yin Yuan Society branch in Dragon Head City, Second-Rank Deacon Yue Mulin has formally resigned from his post and has taken with him five hundred Yin Yuan Society deacons under his command. The relevant handover procedures are legal and compliant. Please grant your permission."

"Second-rank steward Fan Youhao has formally resigned and has taken with him three hundred Yin Yuan Society stewards. The relevant handover procedures are legal and compliant. Please grant your permission."

"Second-rank steward Liu Zhengyi has formally resigned from his post and has taken with him six hundred stewards of the Hidden Origin Society. The relevant handover procedures are legal and compliant. Please grant your permission."

-

Damn it, he's giving up, this is a show of force!
"So these three are all Song Guangming's subordinates. Tsk tsk tsk, they really are the Four Heroes of the Dragon Head, capable of advancing and retreating in unison!"

Wang Wu was deeply moved. "Look at that name! It embodies light, justice, neighborliness, and friendliness—it's full of positive energy."

They just don't do their jobs properly.

Granted! Passed!

Wang Wu was too lazy to put in much effort. He made a pinch in the air and took out three documents. He then slapped them with his seal. "Don't think that I can't manage this Dragon Head City without you."

Ok?
"Panic rumors have emerged in Dragon Head City, and a large number of low-level deacons of the Hidden Origin Society are leaving. The total number of deacons in the current Hidden Origin Society branch is less than three hundred. Warning: The shortage of mid- and low-level deacons will affect the operation of the Hidden Origin Society. Without the protection of cultivators, mortals simply cannot survive here."

"Warning: The aftershocks of the battle between the two Taiyi True Immortals outside the city are turning into a spiritual storm. It will randomly generate secondary disasters such as thunderstorms, hurricanes, reports, frost, flames, poisonous smoke, earthquakes, and meteorites at a rate of twenty times per second. Please disperse or collect this spiritual storm as soon as possible."

"Warning! Tens of millions of mortals in Dragon Head City have been hiding in the city for many days. The city's food supply is becoming increasingly scarce. As time goes on, panic is spreading among the people, and the income from the five elements in the human world is beginning to decline sharply."

Hmm, this is a bit of a problem!
Wang Wu immediately glanced outside. The commotion caused by the two Taiyi True Immortals was indeed extraordinary. Although they had only fought for a dozen rounds, in reality, there were no mountains within a radius of ten thousand miles around Dragon Head City. They had all become a large basin, leaving only Dragon Head City standing alone, like a huge stone tower, hundreds of meters high from the ground.

But that wasn't the end of it. The aftershocks transformed into a spiritual storm, churning and changing wildly, sometimes rising, sometimes falling, frolicking and tossing back and forth.

And you still expect mortals to survive?
How do you explain this to ordinary people?
Perhaps no explanation is needed, but at least a normal living environment should be provided.

If someone sabotages things again, the location of the Dragon Head City branch altar will probably have to be relocated.

That would be incredibly embarrassing, and it would also prove that Song Guangming had great foresight...

We can't worry about anything else now, we need to deal with the spiritual storm first.

Wang Wu went directly to the center of the spiritual storm. After activating his level 18 spiritual energy and taking a look, he immediately found it quite troublesome.

First of all, the total amount of this spiritual energy storm is quite large, about a billion points of spiritual energy. That's not all. The key point is that these spiritual energies have undergone several mutations due to the very high level of the battle.

Moreover, most of them are reverse hybrid mutations.

Normally, a mass of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, after cultivation, can transform into crimson flame spiritual energy, icy spiritual energy, green wood spiritual energy, etc. These are all positive mutations, stable, controllable, and benign mutations.

But just as a person can become a good person, or a heinous and depraved demon.

Aura also has the ability to degenerate into demonic energy.

Well, the reason is that simple. It's not complicated or mysterious, and there are no ancient legends, eerie myths, or suppressed and sealed demons...

Therefore, this massive spiritual storm, with a scale of one billion points, is actually on the verge of degenerating into demonic energy.

Wang Wu can no longer use his level 18 spiritual energy talent to absorb them, otherwise he himself will be in trouble.

The idea of ​​going astray in cultivation is not just a legend.

"what?"

Suddenly, Wang Wu had a thought and soared into the sky. The next second, a strange talisman fell down and was torn apart by the spiritual storm.

not good!

Someone is muddying the waters!
Because those talismans were clearly talismans for storing, sealing, and compressing spiritual energy; one talisman sealed ten million points of spiritual energy.

boom!
The spiritual storm has become noticeably more violent.

"Who dares to cause trouble in my Hidden Origin Society!"

Wang Wu shouted, but before he could lock on, an old man in black appeared tens of thousands of miles away from Dragon Head City, shouting as he ran, quickly throwing out three spirit-sealing talismans. "Hey hey hey! I'm so scared! Isn't your Hidden Origin Society supposed to be permanently neutral? I'm just passing through, am I going to be robbed too? Help! The Hidden Origin Society is robbing us!"

Wang Wu frowned as he looked on, a deep gloom settling over him.

Because the Hidden Origin Society remained permanently neutral, the old man did not attack Dragon Head City; he only lost three spirit talismans.

"Oh dear, so you're the head of the Hidden Origin Society branch in Dragon Head City? Help! I just lost three spirit talismans. Could you please ask your Hidden Origin Society to help me find them? Isn't this the kind of thing your Hidden Origin Society does? What, business is coming to your door, are you going to turn it away?"

The old man winked and swaggered into Dragon Head City, and actually spent a huge sum of money to issue a hidden Yuan quest.

Intentional, oh, so you're called the King of Xijiang!

Wang Wu looked at the information that immediately appeared on the jade talisman, and then glanced at the old man in surprise. Several years had passed, and this old man still hadn't jumped over the dragon gate and hadn't obtained that drop of ancient true dragon blood.

You're really terrible.

Wang Wu thought strangely, and looked at the spiritual storm that had soared to 12 billion points of spiritual energy in such a short time. Some of the spiritual energy had already degenerated into demonic energy due to the chaotic collisions. Now, it was only a little effort left before it completely turned into a demonic storm.

"1.458 billion!"

The number flashed through Wang Wu's mind, and as expected, figures appeared from other directions, more or less, and like many hands making light work, they pushed this large storm of spiritual energy into the abyss of demonic energy.

Then, laughing and joking, they went to Dragon Head City to have a drink, chat, and post a few quests, ostensibly to show their support.

However, the storm of demonic energy is not only difficult to collect, but also difficult to subdue. Even if it is suppressed, it takes a long time and a considerable price to degrade, break down, purify, and reconstitute it into usable spiritual energy.

Worse still, this demonic energy is even more sensitive to the presence of living beings. Now, guarding the millions of mortals in Dragon Head City, this demonic energy doesn't even wander to other places. Instead, it stays centered around Dragon Head City, swirling and howling day and night.

Wang Wu lost this round; the opponent won convincingly.

Therefore, he did not try to absorb or dispel the demonic energy anymore, as it was pointless. Once the demonic energy was formed, it was like chewing gum, impossible to shake off or get rid of, just like the ghost of Dragon Head City, hovering outside Dragon Head City. It would take at least 300,000 years to degrade it.

So, let's try a different approach.

Wang Wu returned to the Hidden Origin Bell and inspected the inner treasury of the branch altar.

It is worth mentioning that after Song Guangming left, the inner treasury was sealed off. In any case, the Yin Yuan Society's internal procedures are absolutely impeccable, and it is very difficult for them to have any loopholes.

The inner treasury is very large, and it was formed from the cave within the Hidden Origin Bell.

This Hidden Origin Bell, as a fifth-grade eternal immortal artifact, can actually form nine cave dwelling spaces inside.

Wang Wu occupies one, the future head steward occupies one, the inner treasury occupies three, and the remaining four cave dwelling spaces are like guest rooms. One can be assigned when a first-rank or second-rank steward moves in, and it will be vacated when the steward leaves.

It's very simple. Of course, if you want more cave space, that's also possible; you just need to upgrade the quality of the Hidden Origin Bell.

However, this is not something Wang Wu can currently get his hands on.

He needs to quickly come up with a solution to the impending crisis among mortals in Dragon Head City.

This is not a difficult problem, because Dragon Head City is actually extremely large. It is a giant city that looks small but is actually 500 li in circumference. Normally, the word "giant" is hidden.

Putting aside everything else, within the controlled area of ​​the Hidden Origin Society alone, in places inaccessible to mortals and cultivators, there are nineteen large and small mountains, several canyons, several streams, three small lakes, and millions of acres of spiritual fields.

In the past, these places were managed by the three Dragon Leaders: Mutual Aid, Friendship, and Justice, along with their subordinates, who lived and enjoyed the amenities.

Now they are gone, but they cannot take these things with them.

At that moment, Wang Wu directly opened up several areas suitable for settlement and farming, and used the Mountain Moving Talisman to move three small mountains, thus creating an area that could accommodate three million farmers to farm.

With a population of less than 12 million, 3 million farmers, 100,000 fishermen, 100,000 hunters, 100,000 gatherers, 100,000 merchants, and 2 million laborers, they could barely maintain the situation.

In addition, hundreds of low-level Hidden Origin Society missions were issued in one go, which basically required cultivators to guide, command, and maintain order for these mortals.

Although there are currently fewer than three hundred mid- to low-level deacons left in Dragon Head City, they are more than enough to manage the more than ten million mortals.

Wang Wu was only responsible for drawing rough lines. These cultivators would take on various official positions as needed, such as city lord, county magistrate, or even imperial envoy.

In short, ordinary people wouldn't really care whether there really is such a kingdom or such an emperor in the distance.

Not only that, Wang Wu also took out tens of thousands of strands of the five elements of the human world from his own pocket and distributed them directly to Dragon Head City. But this was not to give money to the whole people, but to collect the hearts and minds of the people. Because of the existence of these five elements of the human world, the wishes and demands of ordinary people will be more easily gathered together, and then there will be a connection between heaven and man.

For example, if several hundred mortals want more fish and shrimp in the market, five strands of human energy might be gathered together, forming a miniature Hidden Yuan Society mission to provide fresh fish and shrimp to the market. Once completed, they would receive five strands of human energy.

In this way, cultivators benefit, mortals become happier, and the Hidden Yuan Society can earn what they want in an extra way.
