Over the past ten years, the battle between the two city lords has become increasingly fierce.
Jiang Xingyue controls almost half of Lingxi City, but the actual total revenue is only a small half.
For example, the Four Arts, whose income from spiritual stones is flowing like water, has always been firmly controlled by Chen Feng.
He couldn't penetrate it at all.
The Four Arts market has been monopolized. Even if he establishes a new Four Arts Alliance, there will be very few defectors and they will be suppressed by the other party.
"Since you are in the first grade of junior high school, don't blame me for being in the fifteenth grade!"
On a tower in the north of the city, Jiang Xingyue looked far away.
At this moment, high in the sky above a certain store in the city, a battle between the true kings was taking place.
More than a dozen True Lords were fighting in a melee, and dozens of Foundation Builders were fighting each other.
For a moment it was dripping with blood and shining with light.
boom!
Corpses fell from the sky one after another, and somewhere on the ground, there was a group of people hiding.
"Xiao Chen, you are new here. Let me tell you. If you encounter situations like this when patrolling at night, don't rush up and try to stop it.
We have to wait until they are finished beating and we will be responsible for collecting the bodies. "
The captain of the patrol army who introduced the newcomers said, and then lowered his voice:
"This is a fight between the two city lords. We just live with the spirit stones, so don't be reckless. If I hadn't stopped you just now, you might have stayed here on the first day you took office."
The newcomer named Xiao Chen scratched his head and smiled innocently.
This Xiao Chen is naturally Chen Shen.
He has now been promoted to the fourth level of Nascent Soul, and his cultivation breakthrough has slowed down. His spiritual roots have not improved for more than ten years, so he is very eager to collect the corpse.
Although not many people die in each battle, how can one reach a thousand miles without taking small steps?
If you don't collect more corpses, how can you achieve the ultimate spiritual root?
Cultivation can be improved slowly, but the growth of talent cannot be stopped.
In the past, he was afraid of the two city lords and hesitated to take action. Now that he has reached the middle stage of Nascent Soul, it is time to take a risk.
There are body collectors in the slums, but they are responsible for collecting the bodies of dead mortals who have no one to claim them.
For Chen Shen, in Lingxi City, only the night patrol army could collect the corpses of the monks.
"Let's go, let's carry the body."
The battle ended quickly and silently, and the city patrol came out of the dark corner.
"When we were patrolling before, we were just scaring the little ones. Now the two city lords are fighting and they have to deal with corpses frequently."
There were about thirty monks who died, including three True Lords, most of whom were foundation builders and Qi practitioners.
When leaving, Captain Lei muttered again:
"The battle for the city lord is a battle between two major sects and factions. Although you and I are Lingxi City's city guards, in the end, we only obey the orders of the city lord and have nothing to do with the sect.
So I hope you will not join this dispute. You will listen to every city lord, but you will never take sides. Do you understand? "
Lei Dui is a powerful person in the late stage of True Lord, with a thunderous voice, and said in a slightly serious tone.
In fact, Chen Shen understood that this was for him, a newcomer.
"If someone dies in the jurisdiction of a city lord, we will report it to that city lord's mansion first. We must not act recklessly. We must not leave the monk's storage bag casually. We will make plans after the city lord orders everything."
Although the two city lords were well aware of the casualties in the battle, the patrol army had to report them.
This is a rule. After all, those who die are not ordinary people. They are often Master Ji Zhu and Master Jin Dan.
Two-quarters of an hour later, Chen Shen and others arrived at the city lord's mansion carrying two or three corpses each.
"Lei Dui, Lord Chenfeng is meditating and practicing. He said that if it is a dead person, you should dispose of the body yourself."
A servant of the house stopped Team Lei and his party at the door.
"In this way..." Lei Dui pondered for a moment, then turned to the patrol army:
"Brothers, let's carry the body to the cemetery."
There are two places in Lingxi City where standing graves can be buried.
One place is the cemetery not far from the city lord's palace. It is an open plain and is managed by specialized people.
It can be said that prominent figures in the city like to bury their dead relatives and friends here.
But there is a condition, and that is the fee.
According to the feng shui position of the cemetery, spiritual stones will be collected at different prices.
And it’s still sky-high.
But for the sake of face and status, everyone is willing to spend these spiritual stones.
This is the land that Chen Shen dreams of, and he really wants to spend a lot of money to buy it.
Unfortunately, strength does not allow it.
The other cemetery is a mass grave, and those buried there are all kinds of people, mostly mortals from the slums.
When he entered the cemetery, Chen Shen could no longer hold back his restless heart.
"My lords, I'll come, I'll come." He enthusiastically wanted to bury the body.
boom!
The cultivation level in the late stage of foundation building burst out from his body.
"This silly guy is pretty good, he is a real person." Captain Lei showed a pleased smile.
On the way from the City Lord's Mansion just now, these old men under him had groped for the corpses and searched for all their belongings.
Only Chen Shen was not greedy for ink, and now he volunteered to bury all the corpses.
"Not bad, Xiao Chen. Do your best. You've paid your dues. I'll invite you to Goulan to listen to music." A veteran patrolman sitting on the grass said with a smile.
"Thank you for your kindness, brother, but I'm not good at this."
Chen Shen turned his head and showed an honest smile.
If you have this time, it's better to find a senior sister to practice double cultivation.
Not long after, all the corpses were buried, and graves protruded on the open grass.
The corpse collection was successful!
Gain experience in immortality, gain magical powers, and gain some spiritual roots!
The long-lost voice sounded in Chen Shen's mind, which seemed to make him dream back to Cangwu Celestial Burial Mountain.
I really miss it.
Feeling the beauty of his spiritual roots being replenished and improved little by little, he felt happy in his heart.
That's what it feels like!
Moreover, these monks are far from comparable to Cangwu. They are basically low-grade ones with complete spiritual roots, and most of them are mid-grade ones.
After the burial, the group began to patrol the streets.
In a blink of an eye, dawn comes.
"You really don't want to go, Xiao Chen? We just collected the body. Let's go to Goulan to wash away the bad luck. You don't have to worry about the cost. I'll treat you this time."
On his first day at work, Chen Shen received a warm invitation from his colleagues. What he just said was not polite.
It is estimated that this time the dead person gained a lot of money.
"Xiao Chen, why don't you be cool this time as a treat for me?" Even Lei Dui also invited.
"No, you go ahead." He still firmly refused.
Return to the courtyard.
"Junior brother, where did you go at night? Why did you come back at this hour?"
"Senior sister, I joined the city patrol army. I'm afraid I won't be able to practice double cultivation with you at night."
"City Patrol Army?" Mu Xiaojin was confused, but looking at the other person's eyes, she probably didn't intend to tell the truth, so she didn't ask any more questions.
Just trust Him.
…
Time flies, half a year has passed, and more than ten battles, large and small, have occurred in Lingxi City.
Chen Shen became more and more nourished in the city patrol army and gained a lot.
"If I do it again, I only need to harvest another wave of corpses, and my spiritual roots will be improved again." He stood next to Lei Dui and looked up into the sky.
The true king takes action again in the sky, and the war of interests in Lingxi becomes more intense.
