Chapter 459: Demon-Hunting Army

Dongjizhou.

In the Administrative Hall of Xuan City, Xingluo.

"May I ask what business you need to conduct?"

Hearing the inquiry, a cultivator wearing a yellow robe, whose cultivation base had reached the peak of the Nascent Soul realm, surveyed the hall for a moment, then slowly spoke:

"I am Daoist Huangfeng, the City Lord of Huangfeng City. I wish to lead Huangfeng City to merge into Xuan City."

Upon hearing this, the cultivator who received Daoist Huangfeng led him to a private room and asked with a smile:

"After Huangfeng City merges into Xuan City, may I ask if you plan to join Xuan City directly, or do you need to retain autonomy?"

Hearing these two options, Daoist Huangfeng did not hesitate and immediately chose:

"Retain autonomy!"

Before coming, he had already made this decision.

He had after all been the lord of a city; although he chose to merge Huangfeng City into Xuan City for the safety of the people within the city.

But he did not wish to be under others, obeying the orders of others.

Fortunately, Xuan City did not force the issue on this point.

After hearing Daoist Huangfeng's choice, the cultivator in the Administrative Hall of Xuan City handed over a contract and said with a smile:

"Very well, this is the contract for merging into Xuan City. Please sign it."

"After signing, our Xuan City will dispatch cultivators to Huangfeng City to relocate the mortal residents into Xuan City for settlement."

"As for the cultivators within Huangfeng City, you must arrange them yourself."

Taking the contract, Daoist Huangfeng nodded slightly.

He knew the specific process well.

Xuan City is no longer what it was; mortal residents moving into Xuan City will not be allocated mortal courtyards with permanent usage rights.

In recent years, to accommodate mortal residents relocated when other forces merged into Xuan City.

Xuan City has built towers reaching the clouds on the empty land between various mortal districts.

Each tower has hundreds of floors.

Each floor can house over a hundred mortal households.

Although living in such towers is not as good as having independent courtyards.

At least safety can be guaranteed.

As for cultivators like them who retain autonomy and wish to reside in Xuan City.

They must use spirit stones themselves to purchase or lease spirit vein caves, or even mortal courtyards.

Thinking of the prices of spirit vein caves and even mortal courtyards in Xuan City he learned about recently, Daoist Huangfeng felt a bitterness in his heart.

But he must buy what he must, so Daoist Huangfeng asked again:

"How many spirit stones for a fourth-grade spirit vein cave now?"

He did not ask about fifth-grade spirit vein caves because he knew he could not afford them.

"Twelve million mid-grade spirit stones."

Hearing this number, Daoist Huangfeng looked incredulous, his mouth corner twitching involuntarily:

"How much? Twelve million mid-grade spirit stones? Wasn't it eleven million mid-grade spirit stones recently?"

"Because the price went up!"

"Up again? Why don't you just rob people?"

Facing Daoist Huangfeng's dissatisfaction, the cultivator from Xuan City still smiled:

"Buy?"

He had seen this scene many times; as long as he could get his commission.

What harm is there in letting these leeks vent their frustration?

Our Xuan City does not force sales; we focus on voluntariness.

This is Xuan City's territory; does the other party intend to use force?

If they really use force, then we will have a proper discussion.

So, facing Daoist Huangfeng's dissatisfaction, this cultivator from Xuan City was not the least bit panicked.

This is the prestige of Xuan City today, giving him confidence.

Daoist Huangfeng also understood this point; he was seeking Xuan City's protection, not Xuan City seeking him to settle in Xuan City.

After a moment of silence, Daoist Huangfeng could only grit his teeth and spit out one word:

"Buy!"

He retained autonomy because he wanted to gather the cultivators from before Huangfeng City to form a Demon-Hunting Army.

But the prerequisite for this is having a safe base where his Demon-Hunting Army can rest and recuperate.

And now, in the entire Xingluo Province, the safest place is none other than Xuan City.

As far as Daoist Huangfeng knows, after other forces merged into Xuan City to form Demon-Hunting Armies, they were all arranged this way.

Although a spirit vein cave is just a cave, its internal space is not small.

A fourth-grade spirit vein cave has tens of thousands of square meters, more than enough to serve as the initial base for the Demon-Hunting Army.

As for insufficient spiritual energy? Unable to supply the Demon-Hunting Army's cultivation?

He has gone all in to form the Demon-Hunting Army; does he still need to obediently absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to improve his cultivation like before?

The Green Demon Clan will be the best cultivation resource for the future Demon-Hunting Army.

"By the way, how are courtyards in the mortal districts sold? Can I enclose an entire area?"

Daoist Huangfeng planned to enclose a plot of land in the mortal district of Xuan City to accommodate the reserves of his Demon-Hunting Army.

Under the planning of the Wasp Daoist, only cultivators at the Purple Mansion realm and above could be formal members of the Demon-Hunting Army.

Cultivators below the Purple Mansion realm could only be considered reserves.

After all, once everything was arranged, he was prepared to lead the Demon-Hunting Army directly into the Green Demon Realm to hunt down the Green Demon Clan.

If the cultivation base of the Demon-Hunting Army was too low, entering the Green Demon Realm would amount to nothing more than offering themselves as fodder.

That said.

As a force countering an invasion of the Green Demon Realm, using the Purple Mansion realm as a threshold was still too low.

But who could blame him when there were not many cultivators above the Purple Mansion realm under his command?

So for now, he could only settle for the second best.

He only hoped that in the future, when he led the Demon-Hunting Army in the Green Demon Realm, they would gain some rewards and quickly increase his own cultivation base and that of the army under his command.

"One ordinary courtyard costs ten thousand medium-grade spirit stones. How many do you wish to enclose?"

Hearing this price, the Wasp Daoist looked at the other party expressionlessly, cursing inwardly:

"So damn greedy!"

Taking a deep breath, the Wasp Daoist slowly spoke:

"I want ten ordinary courtyards!"

"Very well!"

After the Wasp Daoist completed all the procedures and left the administrative hall of Dongxuan City.

A mission template for relocating the residents of Wasp City instantly appeared in the Dongxuan Token.

As soon as this mission appeared, it was automatically assigned to the Dongxuan Token of Ye Qingxuan's external manifestation.

This was something Ye Qingxuan had set up himself.

Now, the suppression of heaven and earth was too severe, and the flight speed of cultivators had slowed down significantly.

Moreover, attacks by the Green Demon Clan could occur at any time outside Dongxuan City.

Sending a Soul Transformation realm expert to relocate ordinary residents would, with the slightest carelessness, result in the deaths of tens of millions of humans.

Currently, within the entire Dongxuan City, only his manifestation was a Void Piercing realm existence.

Therefore, personally executing the mission to relocate ordinary residents was the safest option.

"Wasp City, is it?"

Looking at the mission content on the token, Ye Qingxuan murmured once and then transformed into a streak of light, leaving Dongxuan City.

As he flew along, Ye Qingxuan detected very few cultivators with his spiritual sense.

The entire world had fallen into silence.

This was because most cultivators around Dongxuan City had already entered the city seeking shelter.

The cultivators still walking outside now.

Were all those with considerable strength, specifically roaming to hunt down the Green Demon Clan.
