Chapter 464: Dissatisfaction and Protest

"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"

Immediately after Ye Qingxuan announced the latest proclamation, almost at the same moment.

Across all areas within Dongxuan City, a series of faint tremors rang out.

The Dongxuan Tokens of all core members of Dongxuan City trembled slightly at the same time.

Seeing this scene.

Other cultivators in Dongxuan City showed expressions of surprise, curiously watching the cultivators around them whose carried Dongxuan Tokens were trembling.

And all core members of Dongxuan City, after checking the announcement regarding the Demon-Hunting Army within their Dongxuan Tokens.

Either revealed looks of expectation and longing in their eyes, standing dazed in place and muttering to themselves.

Or three or five members gathered together, beginning heated discussions.

"Hmm? Demon-Hunting Army? This might be an opportunity."

"The position of Commander of this Demon-Hunting Army should surely have a place for me, Jiang Dongming."

"Excellent! I never expected the City Lord to voluntarily lift restrictions and encourage us to form our own Demon-Hunting Armies."

"Hunting the Green Demon Clan to obtain their corpses for sacrifice can increase one's cultivation base, and one can additionally earn Demon-Hunting Points. This Demon-Hunting Army has potential."

"Pity, only cultivators at the Nascent Soul realm and above have the authority to form a Demon-Hunting Army."

"This threshold is a bit high. My cultivation base is currently at the late stage of the Golden Core realm; I am still a bit short!"

"If the threshold weren't high, would we be forming a Demon-Hunting Army just to go to our deaths?"

"Rest assured, the Nascent Soul realm is merely the threshold for forming a Demon-Hunting Army; the City Lord has not restricted the cultivation base of the army's members."

"Exactly. You can join a Demon-Hunting Army formed by others first, then withdraw once your cultivation base has improved, can't you?"

"This? Is it proper for us to do this?"

"Don't say 'us'; it's just you. I have already broken through to the Nascent Soul realm and possess the qualification to form my own Demon-Hunting Army, hehe!"

"Really? Then how about I join the Demon-Hunting Army you form first?"

"You? I don't want you!"

"Uh, why?"

"You will prepare to leave as soon as you break through to the Nascent Soul realm. Wouldn't my efforts be in vain? The Demon-Hunting Army is my future foundation; I will definitely sign some contracts to bind everyone."

"Then why do you suggest I join a Demon-Hunting Army formed by others first?"

"That is precisely why I suggest you join a Demon-Hunting Army formed by others, rather than inviting you to join the Demon-Hunting Army I am about to form."

"..."

Heated discussions regarding the Demon-Hunting Army erupted among all core members of Dongxuan City.

It was evident that the Demon-Hunting Army system, just sprouting within Dongxuan City, was highly sought after by the cultivators under Dongxuan City.

However, as cultivators under Dongxuan City.

Without permission from Dongxuan City, it was impossible for them to form their own Demon-Hunting Armies or join other Demon-Hunting Armies.

But now was different.

After Ye Qingxuan personally lifted the authority restrictions on the Demon-Hunting Army.

The ambitions in the hearts of many cultivators under Dongxuan City were activated by this proclamation.

Facing the great era approaching.

As cultivators with aspirations, how could they be content to remain confined to a single city?

Watching helplessly as other cultivators around them soared into the clouds in the future great era, leaving them far behind.

Therefore, after Ye Qingxuan issued the proclamation lifting the authority restrictions related to the Demon-Hunting Army.

Most core members under Dongxuan City who met the requirements immediately applied for their own Demon-Hunting Army designations via their Dongxuan Tokens.

In an instant, various Demon-Hunting Army designations emerged endlessly:

"Taotie Demon-Hunting Army!"

"Qiongqi Demon-Hunting Army!"

"Bifang Demon-Hunting Army!"

"Tiangou Demon-Hunting Army!"

"Tianquan Demon-Hunting Army!"

"Vermilion Bird Demon-Hunting Army!"

"Liu Family Demon-Hunting Army"

Under Ye Qingxuan's review, numerous Demon-Hunting Armies affiliated with Dongxuan City were established one after another.

Since this time Ye Qingxuan did not prohibit the spread of information regarding the Demon-Hunting Armies under Dongxuan City.

When the commanders of the various Demon-Hunting Armies began recruiting outsiders.

The content of Ye Qingxuan's original internal proclamation instantly spread throughout the entire Dongxuan City.

Thus, a craze for forming Demon-Hunting Armies swept through the entire Dongxuan City.

And after the information spread, what followed was dissatisfaction and protest from the outer members under Dongxuan City.

Among the cultivators under Dongxuan City, the outer members were the most numerous.

Among them were not a few cultivators at the Nascent Soul realm and even the Soul Transformation realm.

Because sacrificing the corpses of the Green Demon Clan could grant an infusion of World Origin, a powerful effect that increased spiritual power and cultivation base without side effects.

Some powerful figures among the outer members of Dongxuan City had long harbored considerable thoughts of establishing a Demon-Hunting Army or directly invading the Green Demon Realm to hunt the Green Demon Clan.

Previously, because they needed to serve Dongxuan City, completing various tasks assigned by Dongxuan City at regular intervals.

Without orders from Dongxuan City, they could not leave Dongxuan City for too long, so they could only temporarily suppress these thoughts.

But now was different.

Now, Dongxuan City has lifted the restrictions on its core members, allowing them to form their own demon-hunting armies.

Naturally, they were unwilling to fall behind and were no longer satisfied with the routine tasks within Dongxuan City.

Times have changed; since the appearance of the Green Demon Clan, the best cultivation resources have become the corpses of the Green Demon Clan.

Except for some essential auxiliary resources.

Other spiritual power cultivation resources in Dongxuan City were no longer what they craved.

Under these circumstances.

Many cultivators naturally would not be content with the status quo or execute Dongxuan City's routine tasks and exchange routine cultivation resources as before.

Therefore, even constrained by Ye Qingxuan's absolute authority.

Many peripheral members of Dongxuan City, for the sake of their own path to immortality, had to voice protests to fight for the opportunities they desired.

Fortunately, they still knew their limits.

Although they wanted to fight for the benefits they longed for.

They did not disrupt the order within Dongxuan City; they merely used the Dongxuan Token to continuously feedback this sentiment to Ye Qingxuan.

In response, Ye Qingxuan did not act arbitrarily.

On Mount Wanling, Ye Qingxuan looked at the information continuously fed back through the Dongxuan Token; his face held no anger, but rather a look of deep thought.

For him, or rather for Dongxuan City.

With a Seventh-Rank Star Array and his external avatar stationed within Dongxuan City, under normal circumstances, not many cultivators were needed to maintain the city's order.

Ordinary tasks could be handled by Qi Refining or Foundation Establishment cultivators under Dongxuan City's command.

Just as the cultivators under his command had said.

Now, the corpses of the Green Demon Clan held far greater attraction for human cultivators than ordinary cultivation resources.

Any cultivator with aspirations would naturally not abandon the opportunity to hunt the Green Demon Clan out of fear of death and danger.

There were simply too many cultivators under Dongxuan City's command now.

The routine tasks of Dongxuan City from before could no longer satisfy the appetites of so many cultivators after the appearance of the Green Demon Clan.

Even with the tasks of patrolling the territory and tracking and hunting the Green Demon Clan available to Dongxuan City.

For the tens of thousands of cultivators under Dongxuan City's command, it was merely a drop in the bucket.
