Chapter 1032: A Night Until Dawn

Lei Ni looked ashamed: "A few long-term laborers snuck over there to catch the Emperor's Flowing Pulp!"

She was really too busy tonight; with one oversight, someone started playing their own little tricks.

"... Choosing a hurricane day to go to the craggy northwest end, were those people's brains caught in a door?"

The Soul-Absorbing Mirror said in a weird tone: "They deserve to die, not worth pitying, don't save them, don't save them!"

Hey, running to a place where no one is to catch more Emperor's Flowing Pulp? Thinking quite beautifully, but ignoring the storm outside!

"That's outside the barrier." He Lingchuan took a deep breath and said to the people behind him, "Zhao Yibing, you go help rescue them."

He knew that such things would definitely happen. People with unclear brains were everywhere, and they couldn't be stopped.

He Lingchuan was also very helpless, but he was the master of Suoding Island and had to act on the principle of saving if possible.

In dangerous areas, puppets had an advantage in executing tasks.

Zhao Yibing from Other Rongshan responded and stepped out.

With a wave of his hand, three refined gold puppets followed him and rushed toward the southwest.

He Lingchuan then said to Lei Ni: "After they are rescued, you handle it."

Lei Ni hurriedly responded with a "Yes."

At the end of the Chou hour (3 AM), the Emperor's Flowing Pulp ended.

The spiritual rain no longer fell from the sky, and that faint fragrance that stirred instincts also disappeared, and the fanaticism of the living beings on the ground quickly faded.

People were busy moving jars back into the house, and the guard team was no longer facing a great enemy.

Half an hour later, the pier and the guest flow area returned to calm.

He Lingchuan finally had time to go into the house and drink some hot tea.

He stretched, and his bones made a light cracking sound.

First fighting, then a showdown; first killing, then managing. This difficult night was finally coming to an end.

Leading a group of miscellaneous troops, taking care of sea travelers from all over the world, hah.

The difficulty of him sitting in Yuheng City and welcoming the Emperor's Flowing Pulp in the Panlong world didn't even reach one-tenth of tonight!

Outside, several guard team members sat on the ground and couldn't get up, not caring about the mud and footprints on the ground, and fell into a dead sleep with their heads tilted.

He Lingchuan said to Min Tianxi, who had just entered the door:

"The guest flow area must still be patrolled as usual, beware of theft, don't fall short of success for lack of a final effort."

Next, it would enter the high-incidence period of stealing the Emperor's Flowing Pulp.

"Ah?" Min Tianxi heard this, and one foot that had just crossed the threshold shrank back, "Yes."

He Lingchuan saw him walking out, his shoulders slumped.

However, Min Tianxi had only walked a few zhang when he shouted at the opposite side: "Huang Zhao, Huang Zhao! Hey, you bastard, don't pretend you can't hear; the Island Master requires the guest area to be patrolled as usual, beware of theft! Still sitting, don't sit anymore! All get up and follow me!"

After gulping down a few mouthfuls of hot tea, He Lingchuan also stood up.

The Soul-Absorbing Mirror said excitedly: "Is it time to collect spiritual pulp from the array?"

"Hmm, let's go."

He had long since learned the intelligence of the Emperor's Flowing Pulp from the Nalakuvara clone, and he had such a large territory, so how could he miss the spiritual rain that descended on the Yangshan Archipelago? Manpower was insufficient, but he had a better way: using the Spirit-Drawing Array.

He learned this array from Yuheng City. Yuheng City used this array to receive spiritual rain in the suburbs, with a large range, saving both manpower and worry.

Over the past month, part of the tens of thousands of taels of silver that Ding Zuodong had spent for him was used to purchase array materials, and then He Lingchuan and the Other Rongshan people went to set up Spirit-Drawing Arrays on each island.

When the spiritual rain arrived, as long as the array guardian started the array, it could automatically collect it.

But this array didn't collect everything without missing a drop. He Lingchuan had done experiments in Yuheng City, and the Spirit-Drawing Array could at most absorb fifty percent of the spiritual pulp falling from the sky.

The remaining fifty percent would still fall to the ground.

Panlong City tried hard to improve the array, but it didn't work. Perhaps this was God's will, not letting humans take all the benefits at once, but letting the grass, trees, and all living things also receive the grace of heaven.

Of course, the array was also affected by the hurricane, so He Lingchuan had to equip each array with a barrier.

In short, he hadn't expected the hurricane and the Emperor's Flowing Pulp to arrive together, but all the thousands of tasks had been done in advance, so when good and bad luck arrived together, he could be orderly.

Now that the Emperor's Flowing Pulp had finally ended, it was He Lingchuan's turn to welcome the harvest.

This was the reward he deserved!

A night of wind and rain couldn't block the dawn.

When Wang Xingyi stood under the hermitage corridor to watch the rain, the hurricane had already crossed the Yangshan Archipelago and landed on the land west of Blade Edge Port. The wind force had clearly weakened, but the Yangshan Archipelago was still within its wind circle radius, and it was still pouring rain, as if the sky had leaked.

Fang Canran came in from outside with an oil-paper umbrella and smiled as soon as he saw him:

"State Preceptor got up really early, did you rest well?"

"Lying down listening to the wind and rain, I slept very soundly." Wang Xingyi put a little secret ointment on his palm, rubbed his hands dozens of times, and then pressed them on his temples. This was also a secret cultivation technique that could quickly awaken clarity, "You went to the pier last night, how was it there?"

Fang Canran had gone to observe at close range.

"It's okay, I went around a few times last night, nothing major. The buildings are basically intact, everyone looks a bit tired."

Many people had red eyes. Having partied all night, could they not be tired?

"Casualties?"

"There were fourteen or fifteen people injured in total at the pier and the guest flow area, but they were all minor injuries; I heard that people were also rescued at the northwest end, and there were also three injured." Fang Canran closed his umbrella and stood in the corridor, "No news of deaths for the time being."

"Oh?" Wang Xingyi was a bit surprised, "With the hurricane and the Emperor's Flowing Pulp arriving together, there were actually less than twenty people injured on this island?"

Fang Canran had recounted what he saw last night, so Wang Xingyi knew that He Lingchuan had made preparations for the Emperor's Flowing Pulp early on.

But preparation was one thing, and actual operation was another.

Under extreme weather conditions, there were too many uncontrollable human factors. Not to mention a supply station with people coming and going like Suoding Island, even the elite military camps of the Mou Nation had soldiers fighting over the Emperor's Flowing Pulp until they died.

Fang Canran relayed the situation he had inquired about at the pier, and then said: "The guests who were detained, after they sobered up, were annoyed to death, and some were clamoring to find He Xiao to complain. But I think most people are relatively satisfied. Now the order of the supply station has been restored, and it looks like it's no different from yesterday."

"That guard team under him, heh, the few I saw yesterday were either drooping their shoulders or leaning against the wall, standing without a stance, eyes frivolous, looking at first glance like they couldn't fight a hard battle." Wang Xingyi was used to the elite troops of the Mou Nation and didn't look down on this group of people at all? "Relying on such a team, how could He Xiao handle last night?"

The trouble brought to managers by the Emperor's Flowing Pulp was usually chaotic situations and restless hearts. If this bunch of people under He Lingchuan encountered the Emperor's Flowing Pulp, it would be good if they didn't mess up their own feet first, let alone expecting them to manage others, let alone expecting them to manage it in an orderly manner? Don't say, it really worked.

"You really have eyes like torches. Brother He said that this guard team was formed by him subduing the pirates of the Yangshan Archipelago and refugees from many places." Fang Canran smiled, "Invested in training for less than ten days."

"Less than ten days?" Wang Xingyi's gaze tightened, and he didn't laugh, but was a bit surprised, "How did he do it?"

"Based on what I saw at the pier last night, it's nothing more than the words 'clear rules' and 'evidence-based'." Fang Canran said, "This guard team has nothing to do with the word 'elite', but He Xiao clearly told them what to do and what not to do, simple and clear. They just need to do it, and don't care about anything else."

"If they go to the battlefield, of course this won't work; the situation on the battlefield changes rapidly, and being rigid and following rules has no benefits; but for a passenger island under the Emperor's Flowing Pulp, this is enough. He doesn't need to teach these people to be elites immediately, just enough to use is fine."

"Enough to use is fine, well said." Wang Xingyi nodded, "Knowing people and using them well, not bad."

What's so great about winning with elites? That's because the soldiers are good, not because your ability is high.

The most awesome thing about a good general is changing according to the situation and people, playing a winning hand with bad cards.

Fang Canran smiled: "Just now I went to buy something and saw the guard team still patrolling, their spirit is different from before last night."

After a whole night of training, people changed.

Wang Xingyi gave an "hmm": "Interesting."

Smart people, the Mou Nation has plenty, not rare.

But the ability to plan, organize, and adapt, possessing all three at the same time, was a rare talent.

Fang Canran smiled: "Otherwise, how could he burn down half of the Tiangong?"

He Xiao wasn't omniscient and omnipotent, and it was impossible to calculate the personnel, measures, and reactions of the Tiangong—no one could do that.

In the process of causing a huge disturbance in the Tiangong, there must have been countless twists and dangers, but they were all resolved by him, which made it look like it was easy and orderly.

The difficulties and obstacles in between were not enough to be told to outsiders.

Fang Canran further said: "He has the style of your youth."

This flattery made Wang Xingyi laugh out loud, very satisfied: "Where is he?"

"Seems to have gone to other islands."

Wang Xingyi looked out at the cape.

The wind and rain at sea were still strong, He Xiao was rushing out to sea at this time, was he going to inspect other islands?...

The sun tilted west, and He Lingchuan finally returned to Suoding Island.

As soon as he landed, Dong Rui asked him through the eyeball spider: "Hey, did you forget something?"

He Lingchuan asked casually: "What thing?"

He had been tired for two days and really didn't want to use his brain now.

"Didn't you arrange for Wansai Feng to write some battle plan, development plan last night?" Wow, these two titles were too awkward, Dong Rui always stumbled over his tongue.

"Right, did he write it?"

He Lingchuan limited people to submit it this morning, but he himself was really too busy and only found a little free time when the sun was about to set.

Dong Rui complained: "He wrote it, and wasted seventeen or eighteen sheets of my paper! He even asked me what a development plan is? Damn it, are you testing him or testing me?"

The key was, he didn't know either.

"Anyway, hurry up and come over to receive it."

He Lingchuan lifted his legs and walked toward the middle of Suoding Island: "Don't rush, I'll go over and take a look."

"Bring me a box of peach cakes when you pass the main street, I'm starving!"

Dong Rui's Snail Toad was hidden near Ding Lake. This place was originally planned as the office area of Suoding Island, with dense vegetation and few people.

He released Wansai Feng, and as soon as the latter saw He Lingchuan, he hurriedly came over to hand in the paper.
