Chapter 552: Sudden Mishap

"Mm, at the current stage, let's adopt the first method. After all, the Yinjian Difu has just been established, so it is better to be careful and cautious!"

After a little thought, Lin Feng made his choice. Currently, it was not the time for the Yinjian Difu to act in a big way.

"Understood, subordinate understands!"

Hearing Lin Feng say this, the Shuzhuan Gui immediately agreed, and then reported the current situation of the Yinjian Difu to Lin Feng again.

"You have done well. Next, you can start to arrange for the Yinsi to operate in some small places. Remember, the action must be fast and mysterious; do not let people easily find out the true identity of the Yinsi."

"At the beginning, you can even borrow some miscellaneous names to divert the attention of others. However, if you encounter those top sects, you don't need to be afraid. If there is a Gui-Immortal taking action, I don't mind killing a Gui-Immortal again!"

Lin Feng was relatively satisfied with the arrangements of the Shuzhuan Gui and the others, so he spoke directly to them like this.

"Understood, Master!"

After the Shuzhuan Gui left, Lin Feng closed his eyes and began to ponder.

Now with the assistance of the Jue Ming Mu Gui, the Yinjian Difu could basically be considered to have taken shape. Coupled with an Immortal Gui and quite a few Guiyi and puppets comparable to Ban Xian sitting in town, ordinary small powers and small sects could not possibly be the opponents of the Yinjian Difu.

Logically speaking, such a force, as long as it did not break out into a direct conflict with those top sects, basically had no opponents.

However, because the main targets of the Yinjian Difu were the corpses and Guiyi of Gui-Dao cultivators, it would inevitably conflict with the Gui-Dao cultivators of the Cangming Jie next. At that time, it would depend on who could outlast whom.

"In the end, the root of everything lies in oneself. The progress in the human world of the Cangming Jie must be accelerated!"

——————

Niutou Shan, a few days passed in a flash. The gathering place that was temporarily established had already turned into a real town.

These days, Li Yanbing and the others were dealing with various affairs almost day and night, and were using various means and skills to transform the entire Niutou Shan.

Repairing walls and building houses, logging and repairing roads, reclaiming farmland, and so on—this made the entire Niutou Shan look more and more like a paradise.

Of course, it was clearly impossible to complete all of this by relying solely on ordinary people. In addition to the mechanical puppets brought by Li Yanbing and the others, a large number of Zhiren soldiers also participated in it.

"Currently, the total population of Niutou Shan is 3,218 people, with a total of 1,103 households. Among them, the young and strong labor force is less than half, and there are more children under ten years old. Fortunately, the number of elderly people is small..."

In Lin Feng's room, Li Yanbing carefully reported the situation of the entire Niutou Shan to him.

"Farmland, canals, roads, and walls are still being reclaimed and built. However, according to the plan, as long as the reclamation can be completed, it should be able to satisfy the survival and residence of ten thousand people. The most critical problem at the moment is the lack of manpower."

"The original Chishi Juncheng within a radius of two hundred miles has almost been completely emptied. Except for the people under our command, there are no other living people. The further places have not yet had time to explore, but even if there are people, it makes no sense to move people from such a long distance."

"..."

More than three thousand people seemed like a lot, but in reality, they could not play any role. If there were no mechanical puppets or Zhiren soldiers to assist, relying solely on these people to build this town would not know how many years it would take.

"The manpower problem is easy to solve. The danger level of this world is much higher than that of the human world. The vast majority of the population is actually gathered in a few safe places, just like Chishi Juncheng—even though the place is not big, it actually houses hundreds of thousands of people."

"But these cities cannot support so many people, so there are a large number of beggars, refugees, and street hooligans in the city. The first batch of corpse collectors sent out has already arrived at another city. Next, we can let them absorb a portion of the personnel and send them over."

"In addition, the road to Heifeng Shan is now clear. Next, I will arrange for the corpse collector teams to expand in that direction. At that time, the refugees and displaced people encountered can also be sent here."

"Now what you need to do is to build a good foundation, formulate good laws, and make good preparations, so that when new manpower arrives, you can receive them at any time."

"After the population reaches ten thousand, you can set up various government offices and expand this mechanism to other places."

Lin Feng was not too worried about this problem. The territory of the Cangming Jie was very large, and there were many countries, which was far from what the human world could compare to.

"Understood, junior understands!"

Hearing Lin Feng say this, Li Yanbing immediately knew what to do next.

Next, she reported the quantity of grain, cloth, and other daily necessities to Lin Feng. Niutou Shan currently had no way to produce these things itself and could only obtain them through other channels.

"I will have the Shuangzi Gui move another portion from the human world. The original Yunzhou has produced quite a bit of grain after such a long period of reclamation and cultivation."

It had to be said that some of the things Lin Feng did before were still quite useful. Arranging for Zhiren to farm now immediately made him no longer have to worry about grain.

"..."

After Li Yanbing left, the Thin Monkey walked into the room in a hurry.

"Brother Lin, we have encountered trouble!"

Hearing his words, Lin Feng could not help but frown, but he still asked: "What's the situation? Tell me in detail."

"Some brothers went less than eighty miles to the west and discovered a mountain forest where Guiyi was suspected to exist. According to the regulations, they arranged for two people to go in and see the situation, but not long after, something happened."

"That ghost place probably has an extremely powerful Gui; even the Gui-Wolf beasts you gave us don't dare to go in casually!"

The Thin Monkey immediately stated the trouble encountered. Hearing that even the Gui-Wolf beasts did not dare to enter, Lin Feng immediately understood that there was probably a big problem inside.

"Where is the specific location? What did you encounter?"

"It's more than seventy miles to the west-southwest. That place is covered with a thick fog even in broad daylight; it's very easy to recognize!"

The Thin Monkey immediately told Lin Feng the specific location. After pondering for a while, Lin Feng stood up.

"I'll go and take a look. Don't act rashly next. If I don't come back in time, immediately withdraw everyone."

"Understood, Brother Lin!"

Because he had just experienced the situation of Heifeng Shan and Taisui Xian, Lin Feng could not help but think in this direction. However, no matter what, the distance was a bit too close, and he still felt something abnormal in his heart.

So he simply decided to go and see for himself. If there really existed an existence similar to Heifeng Shan, then Lin Feng would have to carefully consider whether to leave Niutou Shan.

"Wangcai, let's go!"

"Woof woof!"

Having said that, Lin Feng stood up directly. Following a call, the huge black dog hidden in the shadows immediately manifested its form, and then carried Lin Feng into the sky and flew out of the courtyard. ===== CHAPTER 553 =====
