Lord of All: I Created the Eternal Immortal Realm

Chen Ergou glared at Hou Zhi and coldly shouted, "A bunch of notorious bandits! Who says you're brothers or sisters? Stop trying to seduce people!"

"Our lord has shown us immeasurable kindness, and the Eternal Immortal Realm is our home. You are nothing but a band of bandits who have invaded our home. Even if we die, we will never join you!"

As soon as Chen Ergou said this, the residents who were absolutely loyal to Ye Yu all chimed in in agreement.

"Captain Er Gou is right. Our lord has been incredibly kind to us; we will never betray him!"

"Brother Er Gou is right. The Eternal Immortal Realm is our home. These notorious bandits are now trying to invade our home. We must defend our home to the death! Even if it means death, I will not surrender to these bandits!"

"Brothers and sisters, don't be fooled by these bandits! They are a bunch of wicked robbers, and they never keep their word. They're just trying to trick us into going out with sweet talk, and then kill us without hesitation!"

"My lord, please order us to leave the city and meet the enemy. Even if we die in battle, we will take a piece of these bandits!"

"My lord, give the order! We are born to be citizens of the Eternal Immortal Realm, and we will die as ghosts of the Eternal Immortal Realm!"

...

Ye Yuxing glanced at all the indignant residents and said gently, "Quiet!"

His voice, though soft, clearly reached the ears of all the residents on the city wall.

Ye Yu's voice seemed to possess a magical power, calming down all the indignant residents.

Hou Zhi's gaze swept over all the residents under Ye Yu's command, and he said leisurely, "If I'm not mistaken, this greenhorn hasn't even paid you your salaries yet, has he?!"

"You don't even get paid, why are you risking your lives following him?"

At this point, Hou Zhi's tone shifted, his voice becoming utterly cold, "Now I'm giving you one last chance, I hope you won't be ungrateful!"

"I will now count to ten. After I count to ten, all those who have not pledged allegiance to us will be our enemies!"

"When the city falls, your deaths will be inevitable!"

"ten……"

"Nine……"

"eight……"

When Hou Zhigang counted to eight, a male resident jumped off the city wall.

Seeing this, Ye Yu did not stop it.

Upon seeing this, the residents who were loyal to Ye Yu glared angrily at the defecting male residents and began to hurl insults.

"Ximen Qing, you traitor! You actually betrayed our lord! I used to consider you a brother, but you're no match for us!"

"Yang Dalong, I knew you were no good the moment I saw you, and I was right! You're a cowardly scoundrel who clings to life!"

...

Seeing this, Ye Yu said, "Quiet!"

As soon as he finished speaking, all the indignant people fell silent again.

Ye Yu's starry eyes swept over the more than 200 residents, and he said gently, "I am very pleased that you are not afraid of death and are willing to stay and face this powerful enemy with me!"

"Since you all choose to believe me, I, Ye Yu, hereby assure you that as long as I live, I will never use you as cannon fodder, nor will I send you to your deaths in vain!"

"Everyone, listen up! Go back!"

As soon as Ye Yu gave the order, all the remaining residents turned around and jumped into the city.

Seeing that the remaining residents dared not disobey his orders, Ye Yu nodded in satisfaction.

His gaze swept over the residents who had betrayed him, a cold glint flashing deep in his eyes.

Ye Yu did not utter a word of rebuke.

Everyone has to pay the price for their choices. Since these people chose to betray him, they should consider whether they can withstand his wrath.

Seeing that Ye Yu remained silent, Mu Lang sneered, "Kid, aren't you angry to see your people betray you without hesitation?"

Ye Yu looked at Mu Lang and said calmly, "One-Eyed Dragon, from the beginning, I did not interfere with their choices, but since they chose to betray me, they have to pay the price for their choices."

"Our struggle will eventually come to a conclusion. If I win, I will not hesitate to kill these traitors. If you win, then congratulations to them, they made the right bet!"

At this point, his dark, deep gaze swept over the dozens of traitors, then he said to Mu Lang, "One-Eyed Dragon, they were recruited by me, and I thought I treated them quite well. But now they've betrayed me without hesitation. If you ever face the same situation as me, they'll definitely betray you without hesitation too!"

After saying that, Ye Yu left with the Starhound Silver, too lazy to argue with the One-Eyed Dragon anymore.

In Ye Yu's opinion, it would be better to go back and hone his skills than to stay here and argue with the one-eyed dragon.

It is worth mentioning that those "traitors" were already judged as "enemies" by the Star Sea Rules when they betrayed him and joined Mu Lang.

Without his permission, those people couldn't get into the inner city before they broke through the walls.

Therefore, Ye Yu was not worried about those people coming in to cause trouble.

When Mu Lang heard Ye Yu's last words, he looked completely unconcerned.

The reason he agreed to let his younger brother Hou Zhi incite the residents under Ye Yu's command was simply because he disliked Ye Yu and wanted to disgust him.

He didn't consider those who betrayed Ye Yu and sided with him as his own people.

Of course, as long as they behave, Mu Lang will give them a sip of soup, but if they disobey, he will kill them without hesitation.

When those "traitors" heard Ye Yu's last words, their hearts skipped a beat, and they were all worried that Mu Lang would become suspicious of them.

At the same time, they also harbored resentment towards Ye Yu.

In their view, Ye Yu was trying to sow discord.

Mu Lang's sharp gaze swept over the group of uneasy traitors, and he said calmly, "Don't worry, as long as you behave, I won't do anything to you!"

"Move these Kui beasts onto our warships right now!"

All the traitors breathed a sigh of relief and began to move the knocked-out Kui beast.

They betrayed Ye Yu because they didn't want to die; they wanted to live.

In their view, Ye Yu was doomed and had no chance of turning the tide.

If they can live, they naturally don't want to die; that's human nature.

……

the other side.

Just as Ye Yu jumped off the city wall on his Starhound Silver, he saw Chen Ergou and Old Man Tian run up to Silver and kneel down on the hard bluestone ground.

"My lord, I have failed in my duty to manage my subordinates, resulting in 42 traitors within my ranks. I beg your punishment!"

Chen Ergou said with a face full of shame.

Tian Gouwa, equally ashamed, said, "My lord, I too have failed in managing my subordinates properly. Please punish me!"

Chen Ergou and his companion were filled with shame and felt utterly ashamed.

Because among the managers appointed by Ye Yu, only the people under their management turned out to be traitors.

Ye Yu was not surprised by this, because among the managers he had appointed, Chen Ergou had the most subordinates, followed by Zhao Yun, and then Tian Gouwa.

Although there were traitors among Chen Ergou and Tian Gouwa's subordinates, Ye Yu would not punish them for it.

Because those traitors were all recruited by him just yesterday, and their loyalty to him was not high.

Chen Ergou and Tian Gouwa were loyal to him. They had only known those people for less than a day and weren't professional managers, so it wasn't their fault.

Ye Yu said gently to Chen Ergou and Chen Ergou, "Get up. This matter has nothing to do with you. You are both loyal to me, how could I punish you!"

Chen Ergou and Tian Gouwa were deeply moved and secretly vowed that they would never allow any more traitors to appear among their subordinates in the future.

"Ergou, Elder Tian, ​​those new recruits under your command, since they've chosen to stay, should be treated equally from now on. You two should pass on your cultivation techniques to them later!"

Chen Ergou and Tian Gouwa bowed respectfully and said, "Yes, Lord!"

Ye Yu rode the silver horse and galloped towards the lord's mansion.

Riding the silver horse back to the lord's mansion, Ye Yu jumped off and sat on the stone chair beside him.

Thinking about the resident's betrayal earlier, Ye Yu couldn't help but rub his temples, feeling a bit of a headache.

"It seems that we can no longer blindly pursue the number of residents and neglect their ideological education."

"Otherwise, similar incidents will definitely happen again in the future."

With this in mind, Ye Yu decided that after recruiting residents in the future, he would find a way to increase their loyalty.

Moreover, he will not teach cultivation techniques to the residents until their loyalty to him reaches the level of absolute devotion.

Even when teaching, it will be done in a tiered manner.

Furthermore, he plans to appoint several officials in charge of people's livelihood to strengthen ideological education among residents.

Of the managers he has appointed, apart from Zhao Yun, none of the others are good at management.

Thinking about this, Ye Yu realized that he was currently lacking talent in managing people's livelihoods.
