Chapter 538: A Defeated Star Fall Dongxuan City?

Not long after the Gui Sect was destroyed.

In Star Fall Province, on a hidden mountain peak, a figure wearing a pitch-black robe was standing in the air, looking at the direction of Dongxuan City.

"This Dongxuan City's secret enemies don't seem to be few!"

This figure was Xue Yu, a Void Penetration Realm mid-stage powerhouse sent by the Gui Sect to investigate the reality of Dongxuan City in Star Fall Province.

Previously, the restlessness in Star Fall Dongxuan City because of the destruction of the Dongji Province branch city had been fueled by him in the dark.

It was just that recently, Xue Yu unexpectedly discovered that besides him, there was another hidden force in Star Fall Province that was secretly affecting the order within Dongxuan City, spreading various rumors in an attempt to shake the hearts of Dongxuan City and strike at Dongxuan City's prestige in Star Fall Province.

It was just that this force acted extremely carefully, and besides spreading various rumors, it had no other obvious actions, as if it was wary of Dongxuan City's power.

Obviously, besides him, there was another force in Star Fall Province targeting Dongxuan City.

It was just that what puzzled Xue Yu was that Dongxuan City had never come forward to fight back.

"Could it really be because two Void Penetration Realm powerhouses left Dongxuan City, leading to the emptiness of Dongxuan City's internal power, and thus not daring to strongly fight back against this hostile force outside?"

While puzzled, Xue Yu thought of the message he had just received from the Gui Sect, and his heart suddenly had the idea of being ready to move.

The Gui Sect side asked him to directly come forward to threaten Dongxuan City, asking the Dongxuan City Lord to hand over the Gui Sect's long-lost inherited minor supernatural power, the Death Curse Technique.

At first, he had some concerns, but now it seems... It's a pity that he hadn't found the force secretly targeting Dongxuan City in the past few days, otherwise, he might have been able to find an ally to act together on this trip.

Now, he could only rely on himself.

As a Void Penetration Realm mid-stage cultivator, Xue Yu also had his own confidence.

Facing the empty Dongxuan City, even if he couldn't win, he could easily escape.

As his gaze flickered, after Xue Yu made a decision in his heart, his figure moved, turning into a stream of light and fleeing toward the direction of Dongxuan City at a leisurely pace.

At the same time, within Star Fall Dongxuan City.

"Have you heard? The destruction of Dongji Dongxuan City is a trap set by the Dongji Province forces for our Dongxuan City, in order to disperse our Dongxuan City's power and gradually erode Dongxuan City."

"No way? According to what you said, aren't Xue Yu, the Dongxuan Envoy, and Senior Li Dachui, who were dispatched to the Dongji Province by the Dongxuan City Lord, in great danger?"

"What do you think? How long have Xue Yu, the Dongxuan Envoy, and Senior Li Dachui left Star Fall Dongxuan City? Doesn't the fact that no news has been passed back yet explain anything?"

"Are you saying that Xue Yu, the Dongxuan Envoy, and Senior Li Dachui have already fallen in the Dongji Province?"

"Impossible, right? Xue Yu, the Dongxuan Envoy, and Senior Li Dachui are Void Penetration Realm powerhouses, even in the entire Dongji Region they are top powerhouses, how could they fall in the Dongji Province so easily?"

"What do you know? That is the Dongji Province, the core great province of our Dongji Region. Are those top forces in the Dongji Province comparable to Dongxuan City?"

"I heard that the Gui Sect that destroyed Dongji Dongxuan City is one of the best in the Dongji Province. It is said that there are seven or eight Void Penetration Realm powerhouses in the Gui Sect."

"Xue Yu, the Dongxuan Envoy, and Senior Li Dachui were ordered to go to the Dongji Province to wipe out the Gui Sect. Two Void Penetration Realm powerhouses against at least seven Void Penetration Realm powerhouses, the ending is naturally self-evident!"

"No way? You haven't been to the Dongji Province, how do you know these?"

"Exactly, our Star Fall Province's Dongxuan City is not bad either, how could it be so much worse than the Dongji Province's forces?"

"Heh, believe it or not, I just heard about the specific situation."

"However, there is no smoke without fire. Look at how many loose cultivators like us are left in Dongxuan City now? Except for the cultivators under Dongxuan City, the vast majority of other loose cultivators who settled in Dongxuan City before have already left Dongxuan City."

"Why is this? Isn't it because they have lost confidence in Dongxuan City?"

"Once Xue Yu, the Dongxuan Envoy, and Senior Li Dachui really fall into the hands of the Gui Sect, what do you think the Gui Sect will do next after Dongxuan City's strength is greatly damaged?"

"Are you saying..."

"That's right, their next step will inevitably be to come to our Star Fall Province, destroy Star Fall Dongxuan City, and cut the weeds and dig up the roots."

"Not good, then wouldn't it be dangerous for us to continue staying in Dongxuan City?"

"No, we also have to hurry up and leave Dongxuan City. I was planning to raise my cultivation base to the Golden Core Realm in Dongxuan City before leaving Star Fall Province to find a province with a wormhole passage to settle down, but now it seems I can only leave Dongxuan City first."

"Go, go, go, hurry up and go back to pack things, we will leave Dongxuan City today."

More than a month has passed, and the situation in Dongxuan City has not only not stabilized, but has become more and more intense as time passes.

Especially after Xue Yu, the Dongxuan Envoy, and Li Dachui left for more than a month, because no news has been passed back, various remarks unfavorable to Dongxuan City have suddenly spread in Dongxuan City.

Such remarks, especially in the recent period, have almost spread throughout the entire Dongxuan City.

With the spread of such remarks, coupled with the fact that Dongxuan City does not know why it has never come forward to refute the rumors, more and more loose cultivators who settled in Dongxuan City before have lost confidence in Dongxuan City.

Because they were afraid of being affected, they chose to stay away from Dongxuan City.

Coupled with the fact that the vast majority of core members above the Purple Mansion Realm in Dongxuan City have gone to other regions to practice, and outer members above the Purple Mansion Realm have also been transferred and dispersed to various branch cities in the Dongji Region.

This has caused Star Fall Dongxuan City, which was originally bustling with noise and excitement, to be much quieter now.

Especially the middle-order cultivators above the Purple Mansion Realm in Star Fall Dongxuan City are almost one in ten thousand.

Even a large number of low-order cultivators at and below the Purple Mansion Realm, who were loose cultivators who settled in Dongxuan City before, have fled Dongxuan City because of these unfavorable remarks.

The current Star Fall Dongxuan City, except for the billions of ordinary residents, is mostly low-order cultivators belonging to Dongxuan City.

However, with various unfavorable remarks spreading in Dongxuan City, these low-order cultivators belonging to Dongxuan City are also panicked.

If it weren't for the fact that they had contracts binding them and needed to follow Dongxuan City's orders, unable to freely stay away from Dongxuan City; it is possible that some of these low-order cultivators belonging to Dongxuan City would have started to run away.

On Wanling Mountain.

Bai Shuqing and Luo Tian stood behind Ye Qingxuan, watching the current situation in Dongxuan City.

Seeing that even those low-order loose cultivators were now preparing to leave Dongxuan City, Bai Shuqing finally could not hold back and asked Ye Qingxuan: "City Lord, are we really not going to come forward to intervene? If this continues, the loose cultivators who settled in our Dongxuan City before will all leave Dongxuan City."

As early as the beginning of the spread of these unfavorable remarks, Bai Shuqing had already sensed that something was wrong.

As one of the Dongxuan Envoys of Dongxuan City, Bai Shuqing's control over Dongxuan City was only second to Ye Qingxuan.

After discovering various remarks unfavorable to Dongxuan City spreading in various places in Dongxuan City, in less than a day, Bai Shuqing had already locked onto those cultivators spreading rumors.

It was just that when he was about to take action to clear out these cultivators spreading rumors, Ye Qingxuan came forward to stop his actions.

Although Bai Shuqing was puzzled, he still followed Ye Qingxuan's will at that time.

It was precisely because of Ye Qingxuan's indulgence that such remarks unfavorable to Dongxuan City spread rapidly in Dongxuan City, causing Dongxuan City to fall into the current situation.

Thus, Bai Shuqing, who watched Dongxuan City fall into this situation, finally could not help but pull Luo Tian to Wanling Mountain to see Ye Qingxuan.

Hearing Xue Yu's inquiry, Ye Qingxuan laughed and asked back:

"Hahaha, Shuqing, is the departure of these loose cultivators really just because of these unverified rumors?"

Pausing for a moment, seeing Bai Shuqing silent and having some realization in his eyes, Ye Qingxuan spoke again:

"In fact, ever since the wormhole passage in Star Fall Province was completely destroyed by the Green Demon Realm and it was impossible to go to the Green Demon Realm to hunt in Star Fall Province, the loose cultivators who settled in Dongxuan City before already had the idea of leaving."

"Before this, those loose cultivators at the Nascent Soul Realm and Deity Transformation Realm who settled in Dongxuan City had already started to leave Dongxuan City one after another, and even leave Star Fall Province."

"What cannot keep these loose cultivators is not our Dongxuan City, but Star Fall Province."

Hearing this, Bai Shuqing calmed down a lot, but still hesitated: "Then these low-order loose cultivators? If there were no such rumors spreading, they should still stay in our Dongxuan City for a period of time."

"What is the point of this?"

Ye Qingxuan turned his head to look at Bai Shuqing and shook his head slightly: "You! You just care too much about the gains and losses of Dongxuan City."

"Without breaking, there is no establishing. The departure of these loose cultivators is the beginning of the true take-off of our Star Fall Dongxuan City."

With Ye Qingxuan's current foundation, he no longer needs to rely on these loose cultivators to accumulate original capital. The existence of these loose cultivators instead restricted the development of Star Fall Dongxuan City.

Therefore, Ye Qingxuan allowed these remarks unfavorable to Dongxuan City to spread, using the hands of people in the dark to clear out the many low-order loose cultivators in Star Fall Dongxuan City for him.

After the loose cultivators of Dongxuan City have all exited, it will be the time for Dongxuan City to take action against those cultivators spreading rumors.

Saying this, Ye Qingxuan turned his head to look down at the entire Dongxuan City, and looked up slightly at the heaven and earth of Star Fall Province, and spoke again:

"Remember, the foundation of our Dongxuan City is those ordinary residents who have lived in Dongxuan City for generations."

"As long as they are still here, this seat has enough time and resources to cultivate a large number of middle and low-order cultivators for Dongxuan City."

"The departure of those loose cultivators who settled in Star Fall Dongxuan City is the result of this seat's deliberate indulgence; this move is just to make room for the cultivators that Dongxuan City will cultivate itself in the future."

"Not only Star Fall Dongxuan City, from now on, even the entire Star Fall Province must be completely incorporated into our Dongxuan City's control. By then, this seat wants to build the entire Star Fall Province into the general base for Dongxuan City to cultivate low-order cultivators."

After speaking, Ye Qingxuan looked at Bai Shuqing again and said indifferently: "Your task now is to take advantage of the upcoming Seventh-Order auction to take the sect stations of other forces in Star Fall Province into your pocket, preparing for this seat's next plan."

"Instead of worrying about the stay or departure of those insignificant loose cultivators in Dongxuan City."

After other major forces in Star Fall Province formally withdraw from Star Fall Province.

He could then take advantage of the situation to refine more Seventh-Order array bases, expand the coverage of Dongxuan City's current Seventh-Order Star Dou Great Array, until the entire Star Fall Province is incorporated into the jurisdiction of the Seventh-Order Star Dou Great Array.

By then, with his sitting in town and the protection of the Seventh-Order Star Dou Great Array.

Coupled with the fact that the wormhole passage opened by the Green Demon Realm in Star Fall Province was also completely destroyed by him, and the demon beasts that lived in Star Fall Province before had also been slaughtered.

The entire Star Fall Province will inevitably become a cradle for the development of ordinary human residents, and the population will increase significantly.

By then, the base of the ordinary population in Star Fall Province will increase significantly, and the children who are detected to have spiritual roots and the cultivators who are born will naturally become more and more.

And the cultivators cultivated in Star Fall Province can then be distributed to various branch cities in the Dongji Region to enhance the strength of these branch cities, and even be transmitted to other great regions through wormhole passages to replace and develop forces in other great regions.

This is a key step in Ye Qingxuan's future force development, so Ye Qingxuan is determined to win this Star Fall Province.

If he cannot achieve this through financial resources, he doesn't mind using force. He just hopes that those forces in Star Fall Province will be sensible, otherwise... Hearing Ye Qingxuan's words, Bai Shuqing also suddenly realized all this, so he immediately bowed respectfully and asked for punishment:

"It is Shuqing's fault, please punish me, City Lord!"

"That's enough, you are also for Dongxuan City, but this seat hopes that your vision can be longer next time! Being too obsessed with the temporary gains and losses of Dongxuan City is not a good thing for you!"

"Yes, this subordinate thanks the City Lord for the guidance!"

Ye Qingxuan nodded slightly and said no more.

This is not a one-man show, and he can tolerate the opinions of his subordinates.

Having one more Dongxuan Envoy who pays attention to the development of Dongxuan City is a good thing for Dongxuan City, so he did not mean to blame Bai Shuqing.

Luo Tian on the side curled his lips and said nothing.

In Luo Tian's view, just execute the City Lord's orders directly, why bother to use your brain to find trouble for yourself? Thinking of this, looking at Bai Shuqing's appearance of admitting his mistake, Luo Tian could not help but feel proud in his heart, and a silly smile appeared on his face.

"Brother Bai! You still have to learn from me! Look, didn't you get snubbed in front of the City Lord? Hahaha!"

Just as he was feeling proud, Luo Tian suddenly sensed a gaze. Looking up, he saw Ye Qingxuan looking at him with a playful look.

Meeting Ye Qingxuan's gaze, Luo Tian immediately smiled awkwardly, and instantly put away all kinds of messy thoughts in his heart.

"Luo Tian, which great region did Ye Qingshuang go to for practice?"
