Chapter 486: Banquet, Demon-Slaying Order

Tai'an City.

Above the City Lord's Mansion.

Watching the many cultivators in the city cheering and jumping for joy, listening to their exchanges.

His spiritual sense scanned the mortal residents within Tai'an City, who had survived the disaster but still wore faces full of terror.

A complex expression appeared on Tai Tai Xudong's face, and he said in a low voice:

"Perhaps, Tai'an City's persistence no longer holds much meaning."

After more than a hundred years of development in the Demon-Slaying Era.

Although Tai'an City had leaped to become a Soul Transformation-level city under Tai Tai Xudong's hands.

Yet, in these hundred-plus years, it was not only the human race whose strength had skyrocketed; the Green Demon race was the same.

A hundred years ago, the Green Demon race invading Star Fall Continent was basically dominated by the Nascent Soul Realm, with very few at the Soul Transformation Realm.

But a hundred years later, among those Green Demon race members now invading Star Fall Continent.

Soul Transformation Realm experts were no longer rare, and even traces of Void Penetration Realm Green Demons occasionally appeared.

If not for the prestige of Dongxuan City, the situation of these Soul Transformation-level cities within Star Fall Continent would be even more difficult.

Under the current circumstances, only forces with Void Penetration Realm grandmasters sitting in command could protect the human race and develop stably amidst the Green Demon invasion.

Tai'an City's development speed had already fallen behind the trend of the era.

Although he had already broken through to the Soul Transformation Realm, there was still a very long distance to the Void Penetration Realm.

Relying solely on himself, Tai Tai Xudong had no confidence in accumulating spiritual power by hunting Green Demons, obtaining the Source of Demon Veins to comprehend profound meanings and rules, and seeking the opportunity to break through to the Void Penetration Realm.

Now, witnessing the strength of a King-level Demon-Slaying Army from Dongxuan City with his own eyes, it was already comparable to, or even surpassed, the Tai'an City he had painstakingly managed.

This caused Tai Tai Xudong's heart to waver, and the thought of dissolving Tai'an City and merging into Dongxuan City arose.

Beside him, Liu Liu Ruyun heard Tai Tai Xudong's low words and, seeing his complex expression, immediately knew what he was thinking.

She opened her mouth slightly, but hesitated for a moment and said nothing.

In Liu Liu Ruyun's view, Tai'an City continuing to struggle on like this would only drag down her husband.

If possible, Liu Liu Ruyun would rather her husband cast off the heavy burden that was Tai'an City.

Therefore, she did not speak to persuade Tai Tai Xudong, but only leaned slightly against his side, gently holding his right hand.

Tai Tai Xudong noticed Liu Liu Ruyun's action and subconsciously turned his head to look at her.

The husband and wife looked at each other, everything understood without words.

Time passed, and a few days later.

Although the late-stage Soul Transformation Green Demon that had besieged Tai'an City had run away.

But under the tracking and hunting of Jiang Seeing Yinyin leading her own Demon-Slaying Army, one early-stage Soul Transformation Green Demon and dozens of Green Demons below the Soul Transformation Realm were still successfully killed by the Demon-Slaying Army.

Not long after Jiang Seeing Yinyin led the Demon-Slaying Army back to Dongxuan City to submit the mission.

Dongxuan City received the application for Tai'an City's merger.

However, although Tai Tai Xudong ultimately chose to merge Tai'an City into Dongxuan City.

He himself chose to retain his freedom and did not choose to join Dongxuan City.

After the mortal residents and low-order cultivators within Tai'an City successfully moved into Dongxuan City.

Tai Tai Xudong led the trusted subordinates he had previously cultivated in Tai'an City to form a Demon-Slaying Army.

The name of the Demon-Slaying Army was the "Tai'an Demon-Slaying Army," which could also be considered his way of passing on the foundation of Tai'an City in another form.

After the Tai'an Demon-Slaying Army was formed.

Tai Tai Xudong bought a plot of land in the expanded outer area of Dongxuan City and built a fortress to serve as the base for the Demon-Slaying Army.

With this, the entire Tai'an City was thoroughly integrated into the demon-slaying system established by Dongxuan City.

Above Mount Mount Wanling.

Ye Ye Qingxuan only gave a cursory glance at the information about Tai'an City merging into Dongxuan City.

A hundred-plus years had passed, and the various systems in Dongxuan City for the merger of other forces were already very perfect.

It did not require him to worry about it personally anymore.

Even the Lower Grade magic treasures needed to move mortal residents.

Ye Ye Qingxuan had also opened up the permissions, allowing cultivators in Dongxuan City who took on the relocation mission to use them.

Watching the now majestically developing Dongxuan City, Ye Ye Qingxuan began to ponder the future development direction of Dongxuan City.

A hundred-plus years had passed, and with the continuous merger of surrounding small and medium forces.

Dongxuan City had expanded again and again, its land area already having increased by about three times compared to a hundred years ago.

It was just that most of that area was owned by the various Demon-Slaying Armies after they had enclosed land to build their bases.

Although this part of the area was not covered by Dongxuan City's protective grand array.

But with Dongxuan City's current strength, even without the protective grand array, no Green Demon race dared to touch the tiger's whiskers of Dongxuan City.

Looking at the outer areas of Dongxuan City, at those standing Demon-Slaying Army bases.

Ye Ye Qingxuan's gaze flickered slightly.

He hesitated in his heart whether to unify Star Fall Continent.

After his cultivation base broke through to the Void Meditation Realm, his external incarnation had also gradually raised its cultivation base to the Void Meditation Realm over these years.

Unlike other ordinary clones, his external incarnation had opened up its own spiritual power void realm and could be completely regarded as a complete Void Meditation Realm expert.

In Star Fall Continent, and even the entire East Pole Domain, there were basically no cultivators who could threaten his safety.

It was just that...

"Forget it."

Ye Ye Qingxuan shook his head slightly, ultimately giving up the idea of unifying Star Fall Continent.

He established his own force to help him handle some trivial chores and scrape together the resources he needed.

If he spent energy unifying Star Fall Continent.

Besides the expanded territory, there were no other obvious benefits.

Instead, it would distract his mind due to the various problems arising after unification.

This was not something he was willing to see.

Moreover, with Dongxuan City's current status in Star Fall Continent, it was actually not much different from unifying Star Fall Continent.

As strong as Star Fall City, the previous number one force in Star Fall Continent, didn't it still honestly pay tribute to Dongxuan City every year?

Compared to directly unifying Star Fall Continent.

Ye Ye Qingxuan was more inclined to slowly intervene and secretly control the entire Star Fall Continent through the system of demon-slayers and Demon-Slaying Armies.

Thinking of this, Ye Ye Qingxuan chuckled and said:

"Perhaps, it is time to gather them all together and have a good talk."

After speaking, Ye Ye Qingxuan's mind stirred, and he instantly sent a message to Jiang Seeing Yinyin:

"Jiang Seeing Yinyin, this City Lord wants to host a banquet to entertain the leaders of all Soul Transformation and Void Penetration-level forces in Star Fall Continent. You issue invitations on my behalf, inviting them to come to Dongxuan City for a chat seven days from now."

"In order to maintain the stability of Star Fall Continent during the banquet, Dongxuan City issues a Demon-Slaying Order to all Demon-Slaying Armies to encircle and suppress the Green Demon race active within Star Fall Continent."

Although Dongxuan City usually had missions to patrol, track, and suppress Green Demons throughout Star Fall Continent.

But compared to the mission rewards obtained in normal times, once the Dongxuan City Demon-Slaying Order was issued, the rewards obtainable during the mission period would directly double tenfold.

For many Demon-Slaying Armies, this was no small temptation.
