Lao Liu was at least a Level 9 Genetic Beast. Seeing the dead appearance of the leader of the Iron-Force Alliance, how could he not know that Hanguo has come.
It quickly dashed back, followed by a continuous spray of water arrows.
Ding Huan was no less generous either. Now with his spiritual awareness refined, he sliced out dozens of wind blades simultaneously.
In the blink of an eye, Shengdao Street turned into a inferno.
The onlookers and those pretending to cheer on the periphery dared not stay for even a moment, but instead fled in a crowd.
Before the arrival of over twenty people from Iron Force Alliance, everyone present thought that this was Iron Force Alliance's plan to wipe out the City Guards.
Little did they know that this happened in the blink of an eye. Not only was Iron Force Alliance and its leader completely wiped out, but even some merchants who tried to make false moves lost over a hundred people.
"Seven Uncle..." The woman from the only shop now looks pale.
The seven uncle, with his white hair and beard, looking at the bloodstains and bodies on the ground, murmured: "How powerful, is this the sign that the Lordship of Scorching Star is going to reorganize West Wind Street?"
"Seven Uncle, we're lucky we didn't go up there." The woman, in a state of panic, contained a hint of relief.
"Uncle Huan." Seeing Ding Huan coming, Ye Mei hurried forward.
He almost got killed by that leader of the Iron Force Alliance.
Ding Huan patted Ye Mei's shoulder:
"Ye Mei, your cultivation is too weak. After we settle down, you must enhance your strength."
"Brother Huan, didn't I do pretty well?" Lao Li walked up proudly.
It found a new continent, and it seemed that not being able to build a foundation wasn't all that important as long as it could easily kill these insects-like humans. It was still very enjoyable.
Ding Huan looked coldly at Lao Li:
"When enemies strike, you run in the rear and leave your teammates in front to die for you? Is that what you consider 'doing well'?"
Lao Li cried with a sad face:
"Brother Huan, I'm no match for him."
"That's not a reason to let your teammates die. You could have easily retreated with Yan Mei."
Ding Huan scolded.
"Yes, Brother Huan, I understand." Lao Li slumped his head, but he didn't really agree in his heart.
If you're facing death, a fool wouldn't stay to die.
The three out-of-town City Guards who came out together have been alternating between great joy and great sorrow during this time.
Together with Yan Mei, came to help the woman save her husband, but almost got killed by four Iron Force Alliance people. Fortunately, the vice-captain in time to save them.
When they wanted to leave quickly, the Iron Force Alliance arrived faster than they had imagined.
When they saw a group of people approaching, the three closed their eyes and waited for death, but were saved again by the returning captain.
Life is like this with big ups and downs.
Now, they were even more startled by a talking beast.
If a beast can talk, that's not something that common families can do.
"What are your three names?" Ding Huan looked at the three City Guards.
To be honest, he had no interest in knowing the names of these three guys before.
Only now, seeing these three guys doing their job so well, he had the thought of keeping them.
After all, these three guys are the elders of Xifeng City and know more about it than anyone else.
The tall man hurriedly bowed and introduced himself: "My name is Gu Bin, and these two are Wu Xun and Be Huo."
Ding Huan nodded, Gu Bin was taller and braver.
Wu Xun was the shortest, thin and almost skeletal. He was comparable to the recordkeeper Peng Lei. Bei Huo's biggest feature was that he was black.
"Today, the three of you did a good job. Now tell me, how are the bodies in this area usually disposed of?"
Ding Huan gave them a compliment.
The three heard Ding Huan's praise and were overjoyed.
What does this mean? It means that Ding Huan will not kill them. They three bet right.
Gu Bin quickly said:
"Brother Ding, we don't usually deal with so many dead people. Our City Guards handle the disposal of bodies. They are usually taken to the city's incineration facility."
He didn't say another thing. Before, it was also a dangerous job for City Guards to dispose of bodies.
After others finish, it's their job to deal with the bodies. If they're not careful, they might be killed by the deceased's friends.
Things like today, killing over a hundred people on Shengdao Street like this, had never happened before.
"Is there only you three City Guards left?" Ding Huan frowned.
If the three of you have to deal with so many bodies, it's really troublesome.
"The City Guards have a vehicle for carrying bodies, which can hold thirty corpses at a time. Additionally, there are more than just the three of us City Guards. There are a few others who are afraid to come to the City Guards office, but we all know where they live."
Gu Bin explained carefully.
Ding Huan pondered for a moment and said:
"First, gather and store all the items here, then Wu Xun and Bei Huo deal with the bodies. You can also ask former City Guards to come and help."
Tell them that from today on, City Guards won't be killed at the slightest provocation.
Gu Bin, along with Yan Mei, Lao Liu and the others, will go to check one store after another on Shengdao Street. As soon as they find a store with dead bodies, they will directly close the store. If the store owners don't accept closing the store, they will have to compensate with crystal stones.
"Those who have not died but have assisted Iron Force Alliance's propaganda should be fined fifty crystal stones. Those who refuse to pay will be directly annihilated, and the shops will be confiscated by City Guards."
Ding Huan had finally seen through the situation: Not a single one of the businesses or shops doing business on Shengdao Street in Xifeng City was clean.
These people would never be wronged for killing a hundred times.
"Yes." Gu Bin immediately responded loudly.
He felt that Ding Huan's actions were completely normal.
In Xifeng City, doesn't strength rule over all?
"Captain, thank you for saving our lives, we are willing to help City Guards clean up the bodies here."
The couple who had been hiding in the collapsed shop had been preparing to die as they saw the Iron Force Alliance surrounding the City Guards.
As a result, when Ding Huan came, the outcome was immediately changed. They excitedly got out and knelt to thank him.
Ding Huan thought about the shortage of manpower now, so he nodded and agreed to let them help Wu Xun and Bei Huo handle the bodies.
Leaving Shengdao Street and returning to the pawnshop, the clerk was busy receiving new customers.
After the clerk finished his work, Ding Huan walked up:
"I want to buy a yard, just in the big crystal area."
Ding Huan came three times in a row, willing to be a City Guard captain just to buy a house.
This shows that he is determined to buy a house in Xifeng City.
Whether Ding Huan will die tomorrow or not, he can still make this deal today.
"Friend, if you are determined to buy, you can pay a deposit of five crystal stones..."
The clerk paused deliberately here, knowing that eager customers would definitely interrupt him and say it's impossible.
Seeing that Ding Huan had no reaction at all, the clerk had to say again:
"Our pawnshop has recently obtained a treasure that allows you to see the houses for sale from nowhere."
"However, this viewing requires some consumption, so we ask for a deposit of five crystal stones. If you don't buy it, the deposit will not be returned. If you do buy it, the deposit will be included in the price of the house."
Ding Huan didn't wait for the clerk to say anything more and directly took out five crystal stones: "Then show me."
Is he really willing to pay this deposit?
The clerk looked at Ding Huan in surprise. The crystal ball viewing home sales have been advertised for a long time, but until now, Ding Huan was the first to be willing to pay a deposit of five crystal stones.
Since Ding Huan took out five crystal stones, the clerk also took out a crystal ball and activated it at the same time.
Like a movie, the image appeared in the void, with a woman introducing the houses on screen. The first one was a small courtyard...
Ding Huan was shocked as he looked at the crystal ball that could release images, "What kind of magic is this?"
The next moment, a clear message appeared in Ding Huan's mind.
Crystal image ball, it records images using a magical artifact and the recording technique.
Even more advanced image balls can be magical artifacts or even recording tools that surpass ordinary magical artifacts.
……
The usually bustling Shengdao Street was surprisingly quiet today.
Whether or not there have been dead people, the shops on both sides of Shengdao Street are all silent.
The owner of the Fenzhenghe building, who was taken away five hundred and fifty crystal stones by Ding Huan, was wiping the sweat from his forehead continuously.
He is terrified.
Only until now did he realize that Ding Huan's behavior and manners in his shop were so restrained and polite.
He dare to follow Ding Huan to his death.
A person who can easily wipe out the Iron Force Alliance and over a hundred shop assistants on Shengdao Street is no longer someone that his backing can easily eliminate.
Fortunately, he didn't lose anything.
He was very worried that Ding Huan would launch a surprise attack, but at this moment, Ding Huan was no longer in Shengdao Street.
Becoming the captain of the City Guards, everything he had done in Xifeng City was for the purpose of finding a quiet place to settle down.
Then seeking his own path to establishing foundation.
If he can't find a way to establish foundation here, Ding Huan would leave again without hesitation.
Having lived a second life, Ding Huan's pursuit of the path to immortality and divinity is incredibly resolute, and nothing can stop him.
Yan Mei and Gu Bin brought Lao Liu to knock on the doors of the shops on Shengdao Street one by one.
Just now, when Iron Force Alliance surrounded the City Guards, there were very few shops that did not come out to cheer.
In the face of the City Guards demanding crystal stones, no one dared to risk their own lives.
This trip was a great profit for the City Guards.
……
Xifeng City's Mayor's Mansion.
A man with a phoenix eye is calmly listening to his subordinates' report. He is Xifeng City's mayor, Xue Bu, who never leaves home.
After a while, he finally said:
"You said that Ding Huan didn't move, and he easily killed over a hundred people, including the leader of the Iron Force Alliance who is at the level of practice cultivation eight?"
"Yes, I suspect that Ding Huan has a secret technique. Otherwise, he couldn't have killed so many people without moving."
Standing in front of Xue Bu was a black-cloaked woman, who was explaining and also giving her own judgment.
"Is it possible that Ding Huan is a cultivation master, and he has his own divine consciousness?" Xue Bu asked with a furrowed brow.
The black-cloaked woman shook her head:
"Even the Xifeng City doesn't want the Lord of the Zhuozhixing Kingdom, how could a foundation-establishing cultivator value this place?"
"If it weren't for the fact that cultivators at the level of practice cultivation cannot condense divine consciousnesses, I would suspect that he is a cultivator with a divine consciousness."
"Just as long as he doesn't come bothering me, let him do what he wants. Handing over the City Guards to him is fine, and it will help me maintain control over the City Guards. You just need to keep an eye on him and don't have to deal with him."
After a moment of silence, Xue Bu said.
"Shengdao Street is Pan Qi's territory. He let us take care of it when he was out, but when he returned and found that so many of his people had been killed, wouldn't that..." The black-cloaked woman hesitated slightly.
Xue Bu laughed coldly:
"His territory? I'm busy with my foundation establishment and have no time to argue with him. I'll just let him have a taste of the leftovers. After I establish my foundation, I'll crush him."
"If he comes back and has a fight with Ding Huan, that would be the best. Let them bite each other."
"Yes." The black-cloaked woman replied and then withdrew.
(That's all for today's update. Good night, everyone! Ask for votes of support!)
