“Tang Zhen was only silent for a few seconds as he looked at elder mo, who had died with his eyes wide open in the wild grass. He then turned around and ran in the direction of the Holy Dragon City. ”
“When the cultivators from Black Rock City saw that Tang Zhen had finally left, they finally dared to come forward and wrap up elder mo and the leader’s corpses. Then, under Xiao Rui’s lead, they returned to Black Rock City with a dejected expression. ”
“These cultivators from Black Rock City were not very old. Ever since they were born, they had been instilled with the idea that Black Rock City was the Overlord of this region by their elders. As a result, they looked down on the wild cultivators from the bottom of their hearts and thought that they were weak. As for ordinary Wanderers, they were not even considered humans in their eyes. ”
“Even if they had the chance to come into contact with those ill-equipped and weather-beaten rogue cultivators, the cultivators of Black Rock City would still assume a high and mighty attitude. They would think that if they were to speak to these rogue cultivators, they would be giving them a great deal of face. ”
“After all, he was a cultivator from Black Rock City and the Black Rock City behind him was the Overlord of this area! ”
“However, since the appearance of the corpse race, Black Rock City had been on the losing end. In the end, they were even surrounded by the corpse race, like a beast trapped in a cage. They could only let out helpless roars, but the management of Black Rock City was helpless. ”
“As a result, rumors began to spread among the citizens of Black Rock City. They claimed that Black Rock City was an Overlord, but in reality, they were nothing more than that. They were actually blocked by monsters at their homes and did not dare to go out. This was simply a great humiliation. It was also the negligence of the city Lord and the other higher-ups, etc. ”
“No one knew where the rumors had started, but the residents were talking about it with great relish. However, they were all discussing it in private. Talking about it in public would be courting death. ”
“However, the more one heard, the more one understood. The cultivators with high status in Black Rock City were actually more concerned about the development of this matter than the ordinary residents. After all, this concerned their own interests. They could only obtain more benefits if Black Rock City was strong. ”
“However, Black Rock City’s obvious disadvantage made these cultivators feel uneasy. Their previous condescending attitude was now slightly shaken and they began to doubt whether Black Rock City could win this war. ”
Tang Zhen had ruthlessly killed two high-level cultivators from Black Rock City in succession. One of them was a level 5 elder. This had completely shattered the fighting spirit of the Black Rock City cultivators.
“They began to doubt what they had heard in the past. Was Black Rock City really the Overlord of this area? why were they in such a sorry state when facing the corpse clan, and why were their high-level cultivators so vulnerable? ”
“Compared to the dejected cultivators from Black Rock City, there was only one person who did not feel the slightest bit of suspicion. Instead, he was extremely excited. This person was the young man, Xiao Rui. ”
“Tang Zhen had helped him to kill his two great enemies. It was as though a huge mountain had been removed from his heart, and he felt refreshed. ”
“Compared to the rumors that he had secretly spread and the small tricks that he had used to disturb the hearts of the people in Black Rock City, Tang Zhen’s method of killing his enemies by clashing with them head-on was what a real man would do. It was also the scene that Xiao Rui yearned for the most. ”
“It was a pity that his cultivation level was not high enough. Otherwise, he would be the one to kill his enemy today. ”
“Xiao Rui was thinking as he walked. Suddenly, he started to feel worried. He had received a huge favor from Tang Zhen this time. He had to repay him. Otherwise, the deal between the two of them would definitely end. This was something that Xiao Rui would never allow to happen. After all, the powerful Tang Zhen would be a great help to him in realizing the plan in his heart. ”
“However, Tang Zhen was definitely not someone that could be easily dismissed. Did he have anything that could move his heart? ”
“Just as Xiao Rui was secretly thinking about what benefits he could give to Tang Zhen, a young cultivator from Blackstone city came over and said to Xiao Rui in a deep voice,””Xiao Rui, we didn’t complete our mission this time, and so many people died. We’ll definitely be punished when we go back. We’re not afraid of physical pain, but we’re afraid of implicating our families. Your cultivation is the highest among us, so you can make a decision. We’ll all listen to you!”” ”
“Xiao Rui’s eyes lit up when he heard this. He looked at the surrounding cultivators and asked, “” what are you guys thinking? are you all going to listen to my command after we go back? “” ”
“””Of course, we’ll listen to you!”” ”
“””I’ll definitely listen to you. Don’t worry, Rui!”” ”
“All the cultivators replied at the same time, but their meaning was the same-they would listen to Xiao Rui’s command. ”
“good. Since everyone trusts me so much, I will not disappoint you. However, the premise is that you must all listen to my command. Only then can I guarantee that everyone will be fine! ”
“Xiao Rui looked at the crowd and said with a calm and confident face. However, he was laughing wildly in his heart. ”
“The governor of Black Rock City, and those high and mighty old men, just you wait. We’ll see how it goes. ”
“Xiao Rui was secretly ruthless, and his eyes were filled with killing intent. ”
……
“Tang Zhen’s speed was very fast. It did not take long for him to see the valley in the distance. At the same time, he could see the crowd that would occasionally flash in front of the valley. After taking a closer look, he realized that they were all Wanderers. ”
“When Tang Zhen arrived at the entrance of the valley, there were more than ten Warriors checking the Wanderers one by one. Only those who met the standards were allowed to enter the valley to work. ”
“Tang Zhen discovered that the people who were allowed to enter were young and strong men and women. As for the old, weak, sick, and disabled, they would find a place to rest on the gravel plain outside the valley. However, they were unwilling to leave this place. ”
“After seeing Tang Zhen, the soldiers immediately saluted him. This naturally attracted the attention of the Wanderers. However, when they found out that Tang Zhen was the Holy Dragon city’s city Lord, all of them revealed expressions of respect and fear, and consciously kept their distance from Tang Zhen. ”
“Tang Zhen looked at these yellow-faced and emaciated Wanderers and asked old Mike, who was standing guard at the side, Old Mike, what’s with these Wanderers? “” ”
“Old Mike was currently smoking a cigarette that Qian Long had given him. After hearing Tang Zhen’s question, he immediately stepped forward and loudly said, “” “”City Lord, these people came here by accident while hiding from the undead race. After they found out that we were recruiting people to work and paying them with food, they refused to leave!”” ”
“After speaking, old Mike secretly observed Tang Zhen’s expression and probed, “” “”City Lord, do you want me to drive them away now?”” ”
“Tang Zhen shook his head when he heard this. He pointed to the dozens of children who had gathered at the side and asked, what’s wrong with these little guys? is no one taking care of them? “” ”
“Old Mike gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, “” the parents of these children are dead, and the others can’t even fill their stomachs. They don’t have time to care about them, so these children live together. As for whether they live or die, it depends on luck. ”
“After saying this, old Mike shook his head and said, “” but I don’t think they’ll have many days left. After all, the undead and monsters are everywhere outside, and it’s getting harder and harder to get food. I heard that many Wanderers have been bitten to death and turned into the undead. The rest either starved to death or ran to other places to take refuge. ”
“Tang Zhen glanced at the Wanderers again and took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket. After lighting one for himself, he gave the rest to old Mike. Old Mike was extremely happy. Under the envious eyes of the other Warriors, he put the cigarette into his pocket with a smug expression. ”
“After Tang Zhen finished smoking a cigarette, he said to old Mike, these Wanderers are forced to stay here. In that case, I’ll be a kind man for once. You can let these people work in the valley later. They’ll only be provided with food and drink. You don’t have to drive them out at night. They can just stay in the valley for the night. ”
“city Lord, you’re a really good person. These Wanderers are really lucky to have met you. ”
“When old Mike heard this, he quickly flattered Tang Zhen. However, Tang Zhen gave him a kick and jokingly scolded him, “” f * ck, your flattering is really asking for a beating! ”
“Old Mike smiled awkwardly. After rubbing his butt that did not hurt, he continued to listen to Tang Zhen’s orders. ”
“as for those children who don’t have parents, Qianqian can leave them behind and let someone take charge of their training. We’ll take as many as we can. If Black Rock City can nurture cultivators from a young age, how can my Holy Dragon City be inferior to them? “” ”
“After Tang Zhen finished speaking, he swept his eyes over those yellow-faced and emaciated orphans. His eyes were indifferent, yet there was no expression on his face. ”
