Three days later.
A mountain peak outside the Jade Emperor Valley.
The bonfire was roaring, a whole lamb was roasting sizzlingly, and three men were sitting around the fire.
"Damn it, with the arrival of the Changsheng Sect, more and more people are competing for our business!"
One of the scar-faced men glanced at the fighting scene at the foot of the mountain in the distance and spat angrily.
"They all came here smelling the fishy smell!"
"Third-level spiritual veins, when we save enough spiritual stones, we have to rent a house!"
Another man on the side curled his lips and seemed to be yearning for it.
Among them, the older man stirred the whole roasted lamb on the bonfire and said slowly:
"Now that Changsheng Sect has just arrived, his energy has been restrained and he has no time to clean up outside the city."
"After a while, the Changsheng Sect will be vacated. How happy you are dancing now, how miserable your death will be then!"
"We have to find a fat sheep to kill, and we need to settle down for a while."
"Don't hit the knife edge when the time comes. That would be an injustice."
"What the boss said makes sense, we can definitely settle down."
"By the way, boss, you are about to break through the ninth level of Qi training. I've heard you say that before."
"It's almost done. It's only happened in the past few months..."
"Boss, someone is here."
One sentence immediately diverted the three people's attention to an old man, a young man slowly coming down the mountain, and a vicious dog that looked like a black panther.
"That old guy is a bit weird."
One of the men touched his chin, slightly confused.
The older man stared for a moment and shook his head:
"My cultivation level is covered, and I can't sense the divine soul's aura..."
"Forget it, this old guy is not easy to mess with at first glance, let's not get ahead of him."
The three of them were talking in whispers, and their attention was no longer on the old man and the young man walking down the mountain.
Among these mountains, there are also many peeps gathered.
But the old man's mystery obviously still dazzled prying eyes.
After all, if you are not absolutely sure about the business of licking blood with a knife, how can you tamper with it without permission?
"Brother Mu..."
The young man couldn't help but make a sound.
"Be careful!"
Chu Mu, who had turned into an old man, shouted lowly, but a layer of gloom enveloped his heart.
After more than half a year, I visited the Jade Emperor Valley again.
According to his expectation, even if the Changsheng Sect took over the Jade Emperor Valley, no matter how chaotic it was, after so long, with the size of the Changsheng Sect, the Jade Emperor Valley should have been stabilized.
If nothing else, just like when the Sun family controlled the Jade Emperor Valley, the ban on the use of force within a hundred miles of the city was thoroughly implemented, and law enforcement teams patrolled it every day.
Although it is still inevitable to kill people and seize treasures, the law of the jungle has been suppressed to a small range within a hundred miles of this city.
But now, after more than half a year, he is outside the Jade Emperor Gufang City...
Peering into the savage territory!
If Chu Mu hadn't confirmed that he was not going in the wrong direction, he would have felt like he was preparing to enter the Fengming Mountain black market again.
"Don't talk, don't look around, just follow me."
Chu Mu ordered in a low voice. As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to have noticed something. His steps stopped suddenly and his eyes were fixed on the Jade Emperor Valley in the distance.
But he saw a sword light rising into the sky, and then it seemed to have determined its direction and flew straight towards the direction where he was.
As the sword light flew, it seemed like a meteor falling from the sky, falling into the forest not far in front of Chu Mu.
Only a roar was heard, and turbulent air waves swept through the room. Immediately, the sword light circled the sky, and the terrifying power seemed like the Milky Way turning upside down and falling from the sky.
At this moment, the space seemed to be imprisoned. Chu Mu tried his best, but found that he could not even blink his eyes, and even breathing seemed a little difficult.
At the same time, the brilliant sound also resounded through the forest.
"Assault and kill our law enforcement team, you should be punished for the crime!"
"From now on, private fighting is strictly prohibited within a radius of two hundred miles of Jade Emperor Gufang City. Anyone who violates this rule will be punished!"
As soon as the words fell, the terrifying power of confinement suddenly dissipated. Chu Mu breathed heavily, and his pupils seemed to be filled with unspeakable fear.
To be able to imprison hundreds of miles with one sword, what kind of cultivation is this?
"Mu...Brother Mu?"
Xu Yuan swallowed his saliva, also unable to conceal his horror.
On the side, Wangcai had peed all over the floor and was still trembling.
"Let's go, it's safe."
Chu Mu took a deep breath, and in his spiritual perception, all the original peeps had dissipated. In his field of vision, he could even see many cultivators running desperately.
Although the fear was still there, I was completely relieved.
After all, he is not prepared to obtain cultivation resources by killing people and seizing treasures. The stability of order is a good thing for him.
When he arrived outside Yuhuanggufang City in his memory and looked at the clearly visible valley, Chu Mu was a little stunned.
After spending several years in Yuhuanggufang City, he was naturally no stranger to Yuhuanggufang City, but the Yuhuanggufang City in front of him was really unfamiliar to him.
The valley that once was has completely changed.
The waterfall at the end of the valley still exists, but the large lake at the end of the waterfall has been filled in and turned into a huge circular square. The river extending from the waterfall flows around the square and outside Fangshi.
It turns out that when the Sun family controlled Yuhuanggufang City, they strictly prohibited immortal cultivators from living privately outside the city. But now, outside the scope of the Fang City formation, a large number of low buildings can be seen, scattered in an orderly manner. Outside the valley, surrounded by mountains and rivers, it looks like a small town hidden in the mountains.
With the naked eye, you can clearly see pedestrians walking around the town. Obviously, this town is already occupied.
Based on the situation outside the city just seen, it is obvious that the people living in the town cannot be ordinary people.
"Brother Mu, where will we live from now on?"
Xu Yuan looked at Fangshi excitedly, pointed at the small town outside Fangshi, and couldn't help but ask.
"Go and take a look first."
Chu Mu shook his head. From what he could see so far, the rules and regulations of the Changsheng Sect were obviously different from those of the Sun family. For details, he had to go to Fangshi to find out more.
With that said, Chu Mu stepped forward and walked in the direction of Fang City. Although the town was just outside Fang City, Chu Mu did not get close to the town. Instead, he deliberately avoided the direction of the town to avoid unnecessary complications. .
"The entrance fee is one Broken Spirit, and you can stay in the market for twelve hours."
As soon as he entered Fangshi, a voice came from beside him. Chu Mu turned around and saw that the original leisurely gatekeeper was standing upright at the entrance of Fangshi after being replaced by the Changsheng Sect.
The white clothes with swords on their backs actually have a bit of a chilling feel to them.
"Um?"
As soon as he handed over the spirit stone, Chu Mu frowned when he looked at the slightly mechanical man in white in front of him.
This man in white... is not a human!
"Is it a puppet?"
After looking at it, he came up with the answer, and Chu Mu's eyes suddenly lit up.
The skin texture is like that of a human being, the movements and expressions are also anthropomorphic, and even the eyes are no different from human eyes.
An android puppet?
How is this done?
If it is combined with the technique of divine surrender and the method of gathering breath, wouldn't it be the same as that of human beings?
In an instant, countless fantastic thoughts appeared in Chu Mu's mind surrounding the android puppet.
"Brother Mu, what are you looking at?"
Xu Yuan was a little confused and looked back and forth between Chu Mu and the white-clothed puppet.
"This is a puppet, not a person."
"You will know later."
Chu Mu didn't explain too much. He suddenly felt that using puppets to guard the door was much better than people.
After all, if the puppet is programmed, it will follow the program thoroughly without making any mistakes.
In these specific things, it is much easier to use than people.
This android puppet, which is comparable to the perfect Qi training, and the terrifying immortal flying boat, can undoubtedly prove that the foundation of the longevity sect is obviously not comparable to that of the Sun family.
Inexplicably, Chu Mu couldn't help but look forward to the new owner of Jade Emperor Gufang City.
The sect is open to all rivers, will it be different?
With such a mood, Chu Mu walked into the market and walked around. The expectations in Chu Mu's heart slowly calmed down.
After changing its owner, Yuhuanggufang City has changed a lot, but in a sense, it has not changed much.
The first thing that has changed a lot is the aura of Fangshi. It seems to be the reason why the spiritual energy of Jade Emperor Valley has been promoted to the third level. The aura of Fangshi is two or three times stronger than before.
Furthermore, it is the layout of the city.
The Jade Emperor Lake was transformed into the Jade Emperor Square, and the prosperity of the Jade Emperor Valley also extended from the original main streets to this side of the square.
The original expanded buildings across the lake have also been changed beyond recognition.
Today, in Yuhuanggufang City, there are no houses that can be rented for a month for one spiritual stone.
The cheapest price is three spiritual stones per month, which is not much different from the initial house rental in Yuhuang Valley.
The small town outside Fangshi has become a new substitute. The rent of three broken spirits for one month has no formation, no spiritual energy, and not even the protection of Fangshi's formation. It is just like a secular house, without any difference.
The only thing that exists is the ban on private fighting within two hundred miles of the Changsheng Sect's city.
Moreover, once you enter the market, you have to pay an entrance fee of one Broken Spirit, and you can only stay for twelve hours...
Another change is that the Changsheng Sect has fully liberalized the leasing of shops. As long as you pay enough spirit stones, you can rent shops in the city.
However, if you want to do business and rent a shop, it is only the first step. You must also apply for a business license from the Changsheng Sect's Foreign Affairs Hall in Yuhuang Valley.
It is probably similar to the business license in the previous life. Only after the application is successful can you start business. The business scope is not allowed to exceed the business scope specified by itself.
During the previous rule of the Sun family, although shops were also rented,...the Sun family had many properties, and there were not many shops for rent. Occasionally there were vacancies, which were not accessible to ordinary cultivators.
As for the current Jade Emperor Valley, Chu Mu walked around and found that there were only a few dozen properties belonging to the Changsheng Sect in the entire city. It controlled a few important businesses and seemed to have nothing else.
What remains unchanged is that the original strict order of the city still exists.
In fact, it seems that because the Sun family has completely evacuated and the Changsheng Sect has just arrived, the prices of various commodities in the market have become much higher.
Wang Mazi, who used to wander around Fangshi all day, has also disappeared. It is not known whether he was killed by the Changsheng Sect or ran away with the Sun family.
