Chapter 180: Guard Team

In Green Light City.

After Ye Qingxuan returned to Green Light City through the teleportation array.

He took out the array disks and set up a teleportation array leading to Eastern Profound City in the other three areas of Green Light City one by one.

After the teleportation array was set up, Ye Qingxuan immediately notified the whole city:

"The new city has been established, and the mortal residents of Green Light City will begin to migrate starting today."

"As the first batch of residents in the new city, you can be allocated free small courtyards, buildings, and land."

"After the migration is over, this seat, as the City Lord of the new city, will leave Green Light City and sit in the new city. I hope you will take care of yourselves."

The reason why Ye Qingxuan only migrated 70% of the population of Green Light City is not because he wanted to reserve 30% of the population for Green Light City.

It is because during the migration process, there will always be some residents who are nostalgic and unwilling to leave Green Light City.

Regarding this, Ye Qingxuan will not force it.

30% of the residents is the population that Ye Qingxuan estimates are unwilling to migrate.

Green Light City just encountered a beast tide and the city was broken, although it did not suffer actual damage, the shadows left in the hearts of the residents in the city must not be small.

Coupled with the fact that they can be allocated free small courtyards, buildings, and land in the new city.

He, this savior, will also leave Green Light City at that time.

Under various factors, Ye Qingxuan is not worried that most people are unwilling to migrate.

Sure enough.

After hearing Ye Qingxuan's voice, the expressions of the residents in Green Light City changed continuously.

Knowing that Ye Qingxuan will leave, and that they can obtain free small courtyards, buildings, and land in the new city.

Most residents, after pondering for a moment, made up their minds and chose to follow Ye Qingxuan to migrate to the new city.

In the cultivation world, it seems that immortals and mortals are separated, but in reality, the lives of mortals are closely related to cultivators.

Even a mortal hopes that he can get the protection of a stronger cultivator.

He also hopes that his descendants can have spiritual roots and give his descendants a better platform.

Under these circumstances, fawning over the powerful will be the instinct of most mortals.

Not to mention, Ye Qingxuan just saved their lives not long ago.

Therefore, their choice to relocate to the new city is also understandable.

Inside a dilapidated, small room in Qingguang City.

Upon hearing Ye Qingxuan's voice, the little girl Seeing Yinyin looked at her grandfather with excitement: "Grandpa, is that the City Lord's voice? Are we going to move house with the City Lord?"

Ever since she learned that Ye Qingxuan had saved her and her grandfather, and heard of Ye Qingxuan's deeds in saving Qingguang City.

The little girl had already become a little fan of Ye Qingxuan.

Her grandfather looked at his granddaughter with doting eyes:

"Yes, so little Seeing Yinyin, are you willing to leave this place?"

Hearing her grandfather's question, Seeing Yinyin nodded her little face earnestly: "Seeing Yinyin is willing! Wherever the City Lord goes, Seeing Yinyin will go too!"

Hearing this, Seeing Yinyin's grandfather looked at the dilapidated room.

A flash of reminiscence crossed his cloudy eyes; he subconsciously reached out to stroke the two small braids on Seeing Yinyin's head, murmuring to himself: "Very well, perhaps this will be a new beginning!"

Inside the Qingguang City Lord's Mansion.

All the cultivators in Qingguang City had already been summoned by Ye Qingxuan to the City Lord's Mansion.

At this moment, Ye Qingxuan sat upright in the seat of honor, surveying the fewer than two thousand cultivators in the hall, and said indifferently:

"For this relocation to the new city, those who are willing to move in but wish to remain as rogue cultivators, take one step forward."

"Those who are willing to join the Xincheng Guard, sign a contract, and follow this lord, take two steps forward."

As soon as his voice fell, the cultivators who had already made up their minds stepped forward one after another.

Among them, all the rogue cultivators who had previously stayed in Qingguang City moved.

They had been willing to stay in Qingguang City after the beast tide specifically to obtain Ye Qingxuan's protection. Now that Ye Qingxuan was leaving, they naturally had to follow him.

However, these rogue cultivators were used to freedom, so although they were willing to move into the new city.

Only a handful of them chose to sign the contract and join the Xincheng Guard.

Among those few were the Foundation Establishment rogue cultivator Li Yuan and his wife Mu Qingqing.

The main reason Li Yuan and his wife were willing to join the Xincheng Guard was for the sake of their child.

A few years had passed, and their child had been born—a big, chubby boy.

Children born to cultivators have a high probability of possessing spiritual roots.

Under these circumstances, Li Yuan and his wife naturally had to seek a better cultivation environment for their child.

Joining the Xincheng Guard was undoubtedly a very good choice.

As for the original members of the Qingguang City Guard, nearly eighty percent of them took two steps forward.

The vast majority of these eighty percent were original residents of Qingguang City.

Previously, when Zhou Qingguang faced the beast tide, he abandoned the city and fled.

Although they understood, Zhou Qingguang's actions had undoubtedly hurt their hearts.

Now that they were relocating to the new city, they could bring their loved ones along.

These members of the guard were naturally willing to follow Ye Qingxuan, who had saved their loved ones' lives.

Zhou Qingguang did not care about the departure of eighty percent of the guard.

But when Xue Yu, the commander of the Qingguang City Guard beside him, suddenly stepped forward with an expressionless face, Zhou Qingguang's expression changed slightly.

Heifeng and Qingyu, in particular, showed expressions of disbelief in their eyes.

The three of them had followed Zhou Qingguang for many years, and Zhou Qingguang had treated them quite well.

Therefore, Heifeng and Qingyu had no intention of leaving Qingguang City from the start.

But they did not expect that Xue Yu would actually choose to leave Qingguang City and follow Ye Qingxuan.

However, since Ye Qingxuan was present, they could not easily question Xue Yu's choice.

Yet, in their hearts, they felt as if they had been betrayed by a companion; they were furious and could not calm down for a long time.

Zhou Qingguang, on the other hand, was very open-minded about it.

After his expression changed slightly, Zhou Qingguang quickly felt relieved.

In the end, his relationship with Xue Yu was merely one of mutual interest.

Xue Yu joined the guard to serve him, while he provided Xue Yu with cultivation resources and a cultivation cave dwelling.

There was no debt between the two.

Now that Xue Yu wanted to follow a stronger person to obtain a better cultivation environment, it was only human nature.

Once everyone had made their choice, Ye Qingxuan took a headcount.

There were 1,352 members willing to join the Xincheng Guard.

There were 234 cultivators willing to move into the new city while retaining their status as rogue cultivators.

Within the Xincheng Guard, there were 4 Purple Mansion Realm cultivators including Xue Yu, 83 Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, and 1,265 Qi Refining Realm cultivators.

There were quite a lot of Purple Mansion Realm cultivators among the rogue cultivators.

After all, rogue cultivators who could travel outside and commute between major cities did not have weak cultivation bases.

Most rogue cultivators below the Foundation Establishment Realm gathered in small market towns without city protection.

There were very few Qi Refining Realm rogue cultivators who could gain a foothold in a city.

Qi Refining Realm cultivators in major cities were basically born from the original residents of those cities.

Unfortunately, these rogue cultivators were unwilling to accept restrictions and join the city guard.

Looking at the cultivators willing to join his command, Ye Qingxuan nodded with satisfaction: "The cultivators of the Xincheng Guard stay; the others may leave first!"
