In fact, Sun Haoran is not the only one who has a headache about how to go to sea.
After all, Sun Moon City is a city built on a seaport. Its original development relied on the resources of the sea. Whether mortals or cultivators, they can obtain various materials in this endless sea.
But it was a long time ago that we could freely go to sea. As more and more evil cultivators are entrenched on the "Demon Island", neither mortals nor immortal cultivators dare to go to sea rashly, because as soon as they go to sea, they will be exposed to this monster. The evil cultivators on the island send resources.
Probably only the ships guarding the Sun Moon Gate of Sun Moon City can run rampant on the sea, because the evil cultivators on Demon Island are just a group of stragglers after all. Although they are indeed powerful together, they will not be idle. Really go and provoke a huge sect like the Sun and Moon Sect.
Just as people from these large sects are unwilling to spend the money to cause trouble for these evil cultivators, these evil cultivators naturally understand the rules and will not take the initiative to cause trouble.
This delicate balance is maintained to this day.
After learning this in Sun Moon City, Sun Haoran finally understood why some people always said that the so-called decent people from famous families were just a group of high-sounding hypocrites.
Because although these sects claim to be famous and upright, they are not so selfless.
But there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with this. After all, it's love to save all sentient beings, and it's your duty to protect yourself wisely. Moral kidnapping is more or less a serious brain disease. The goal of immortality cultivators is actually only one from beginning to end, and that is to achieve enlightenment and become an immortal.
Unless one is cultivating the path of merit and virtue, who would go to heaven to save all sentient beings with nothing to do? It is better to spend more time practicing.
Because of this, even though the mortals living in Sun Moon City were protected by the Sun Moon Gate, they were always worried about their livelihood. Their fear of going to sea not only limited the development of fisheries, but also greatly affected trade.
Although the city lord of Sun Moon City is determined to defeat the evil cultivators on Demon Island, he is just a mortal and cannot offer anything attractive to powerful cultivators as a reward. Naturally, no one is willing to help.
And even if there are kind-hearted monks who want to take care of this nosy matter, they have to weigh their own weight first. To defeat the evil cultivators in the entire Demonic Island is not something that one or two people can do, at least no one has been able to do it so far.
But it's different now, because Sun Haoran came here, and he happened to go to destroy the Demon Island, and he didn't even need any reward.
"Where is the City Lord's Mansion?"
After learning that the city lord here was determined to attack the evil cultivators on Demon Island, Sun Haoran asked the waiter in the inn where he was staying.
"There are two largest buildings in this city. One is the headquarters of the Sun and Moon Gate, and the other is the City Lord's Mansion."
The waiter pointed at the two towering buildings in the distance and introduced, "You can't see the plaque here, but as long as you go in that direction, you can tell which one is which."
"Thank you."
With that said, Sun Haoran threw a silver ingot, and then disappeared before the waiter had time to react.
"I'll go! It turns out he's an immortal!" The waiter in the shop put away the broken silver ingot with some surprise, his face full of excitement, "Hey, he has to thank us."
Although there are often immortal cultivators coming and going in the city, most of them go straight to the Sun and Moon Gate, and few of them stay in the mortal world.
Today, he not only saw the immortal's grace, but also got a silver ingot. You should know that the tip given by ordinary customers is only a few copper plates at most, and a silver ingot is enough to cover his wages for several months.
"Tsk, tsk, the immortals are generous in their dealings, and they don't treat us mortals' money as money at all~"
The shopkeeper's waiter just showed the way to the immortal and got a gold ingot. His whole body was sour.
"Hey~ It's precisely because of this that the Lord of the City has never been able to ask the Immortal to help eliminate harm. I don't know why the Immortal went to the City Lord's Mansion?"
Although the economic situation of Sun Moon City is not optimistic, as the lord of the city, he still has some wealth, but mortal currency is no different from scrap metal in the eyes of immortals, so he really can't get anything out of it.
Something to impress the immortals into helping.
And even if there were... how easy would it be to hire an immortal who had the power to destroy the evil cultivators on the Demonic Island?
In short, until now, the people in Sun Moon City have long been accustomed to their current life, and they never thought that one day someone would be able to wipe out the evil cultivators on Demon Island who are causing harm to the world.
After Sun Haoran left the inn, he came to two huge buildings that were almost adjacent to each other in an instant.
Sure enough, just as the waiter said, the plaque on one side said Sun and Moon Gate, and on the other side it was the City Lord's Mansion.
In fact, it is normal for the city lord's palace to be built next to the Sun and Moon Gate, because the Sun and Moon Gate is also the sect responsible for guarding the Sun and Moon City against evil cultivators who come ashore to cause trouble at will. Although they usually turn a blind eye, You can't let people make trouble right under your nose, right?
There is no safer place in the Sun and Moon City than next to the Sun and Moon Gate. By building here, you can even save a lot of money on raising guards. It should be said that the Lord of the City is really budget-conscious.
"Look, the notice board in front of the City Lord's Mansion seems to be recruiting again."
"Hey, what's so strange about this? Aren't we always recruiting? I just never recruited..."
"It's weird to be able to recruit talents, isn't it? The city lord is just a mortal... If you really can bring out any treasure, how can it be someone else's turn to reveal the list? The immortals from the Sun and Moon Gate next to you have already left."
"Hey... who says it's not the case? Now that the demon island's monsters are becoming more and more powerful, I'm afraid even if the Sun Moon Sect wants to annihilate them, they will have to pay a huge price, right? Which casual cultivator do you want to rely on to become an immortal? It is simply unrealistic to destroy them!"
"Okay, okay, what's the use of us mortals worrying about this? It's already good enough to survive under the protection of the immortals of the Sun and Moon Gate. How can we pray for more?"
At this moment, in front of the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, there was a group of mortals joining in the fun, and there seemed to be a few monks among them.
Although they are all discussing the bounty on the notice board, naturally no one will reveal the list. After all, in everyone's eyes, Demon Island has developed to its current level, and it is no longer said that it can be destroyed if it is destroyed.
However, Sun Haoran saw that some monks seemed to be somewhat interested in the second list.
He also stepped forward and took a closer look.
The first list is naturally that the city lord's mansion wants to recruit powerful monks who can conquer the Demon Island.
But it was obvious that the people in the City Lord's Palace knew that it was impossible to recruit such a monk, so they did the next best thing and posted a second reward list. Judging from the content, it seemed to be recruiting thugs.
They do not seek to conquer the evil cultivators on Demonic Island, but only seek to protect the fleet of the City Lord's Mansion from being plundered by evil cultivators when they go to sea.
This job is obviously much simpler than destroying the Demonic Island, and the reward is actually spiritual stones that the monks can practice or use as currency. Although it is not a lot, it is reasonable for a mortal city lord to come up with this. The quantity is indeed not easy, probably because of these spiritual stones, they have to bow down to the Sun and Moon Gate on the side.
"These grandsons seem to be really causing harm."
After thinking clearly about the secret, Sun Haoran often smacked his lips.
To force a mortal city lord to take out so many spiritual stones to recruit bodyguards at all costs can only be described as harmful.
Presumably the city lord's life was quite difficult.
But this doesn't seem to have anything to do with him.
Even though he was here, he had to destroy the Demonic Island anyway, so Sun Haoran naturally wanted to collect the reward along the way. After all, it was not free.
Although the reward on the first reward was not enough to pay for the work of destroying Demon Island, no matter how few flies were, they were still meat. He really had no use for these spiritual treasures, but he could give them to the girls of Qingshui Palace.
So it was a happy decision.
Under the stunned gazes of everyone, Sun Haoran grinned and unveiled the reward list, and then was dubiously invited into the mansion by the guards of the City Lord's Mansion.
After all, this was the first time someone had exposed this list since it was posted, and they were not sure whether Sun Haoran was serious or just making fun of the people in their city lord's palace.
But after all, Sun Haoran was also a monk, and his aura alone could make them sweat profusely. They couldn't afford to offend him no matter what, so they could only respectfully invite him into the mansion and let the city lord decide for himself.
After arriving at the entrance of the City Lord's Palace, the City Lord quickly came out to greet Sun Haoran in person, his face full of enthusiasm.
The city lord is a man who looks to be in his forties or fifties. He may have dark skin because he grew up on the seaside. Judging from his strong body, he probably has experience at sea. Maybe he was a sailor when he was young.
"Shangxian, please come inside! Please come inside!"
Fortunately, he could only tell that the Sun Haoran in front of him was extraordinary and must not be an ordinary person, but he could not distinguish Sun Haoran's realm. Otherwise, if he saw that he only had the foundation-building realm, it would inevitably lead to another wave of misunderstandings.
"No, I'm not here to chat with you." Sun Haoran naturally didn't bother to chat with the city lord in front of him, because it was meaningless at all, "When can I go to sea?"
"Um...this..."
The city lord obviously hesitated after hearing this.
He was polite to Sun Haoran just because Sun Haoran was a cultivator and he couldn't afford to offend him.
But even if the other party is an immortal cultivator, it is naturally impossible for him to make fun of his own life before he knows the other party's strength.
You must know that the reward list revealed by the person in front of you is not the second list for hiring bodyguards, but the first list for crusade!
"Shangxian, are you sure you didn't expose the wrong list? Going to conquer the evil cultivators on Demon Island is no joke. How about we... make preparations first?"
The so-called "preparation" naturally means asking Sun Haoran to invite people from the sect.
After all, no matter what a person thinks, it is impossible to be an enemy of Demon Island. Dare to reveal this list must represent the power behind him, otherwise, isn't this making fun of him?
"Ready? Is the reward not ready yet?" Hearing this, Sun Haoran asked doubtfully.
"Um...no..."
The city lord was obviously a little ashamed when he heard this.
I felt disappointed.
Because Sun Haoran's current performance made him feel that he was just joking.
But after all, he is an immortal cultivator, and even if he fools them for fun, there is nothing they can do.
"Let's go when you're ready. I'm in a hurry." Sun Haoran nodded slightly when he heard this.
"Hey... Immortal, please stop joking... that's Demon Island? Do you really plan to go alone?" the city lord asked awkwardly.
"Of course not. Don't I still need you to drive the boat and lead the way?" Sun Haoran replied matter-of-factly.
"But...it is said that there are tens of thousands of evil cultivators living on Demon Island...Shangxian, you..." The city lord still seemed to be hesitant.
"Are you done yet? Why are you talking so much nonsense?" Sun Haoran became a little impatient, "Hurry up and get people ready to set off! Do you think I'm a fool? Will I make fun of my own life?"
"Uh...Okay, okay...I'll make arrangements right now."
The city lord was stunned for a moment, then thought for a moment.
Yes, he was worried that his people would encounter mishaps when they followed the Immortal in front of him out to sea to the Demonic Island, but the Immortal who was traveling with him wouldn't make fun of his own life, right?
You must know that if you encounter evil cultivators, the worthless mortals wearing them will definitely not be as attractive to those guys as the cultivators.
Even if he is targeted, the person in front of him will bear the brunt of it.
The person in front of me is so confident, maybe he really has that much strength?
Although it sounds unbelievable for one person to challenge the entire Demon Island.
But it is said that the gap in realm between monks cannot be made up by quantity. Could it be that I really made a mistake? Is this person in front of me actually a kind-hearted and powerful man who comes here specifically to eliminate violence and bring peace?
No matter what, the city lord has made up his mind to give it a try.
This bounty list has been posted for many years and no one has revealed it. Now even if there is only a glimmer of hope, it is better than nothing.
So he asked his subordinates to entertain Sun
After Haoran, the city lord immediately turned around and left the main hall, preparing to select soldiers who were not afraid of death and preparing to set sail with Sun Haoran.
············
After the city lord left the main hall, Sun Haoran was invited to the dining area and served with good wine and meat.
Not long after, four strong men pushed open the door and arrived.
After looking around for a week, he walked straight towards Sun Haoran who was eating.
"You are the one who asked us to go to sea immediately, right?"
The leading man came to Sun Haoran. Regardless of whether Sun Haoran planned to raise his head and pay attention to him, he clasped his fists and asked. His voice was so angry that the tableware on the table continued to tremble.
"?"
Sun Haoran looked at this guy who came to disturb his meal with some confusion.
When he saw clearly the cultivation level of the person in front of him, he was a little surprised.
It seems that the city lord's mansion is not completely unavailable. In addition to some mortal soldiers, it also supports these innate and acquired masters.
Yes, the strength of the four people in front of me ranges from acquired to innate. Although they have not officially embarked on the path of cultivation, they are not comparable to ordinary people.
The city lord probably spent a lot of money to keep a few people in his mansion.
