Chapter 492: Chapter 260: Making Full Use of Magic, Who is He Looking For?_2
The heavy taxation was the least of their worries.
So of the more attractive won in the city had been abducted by disciples of the Great Freedom Demon Sect.
To survive, people were forced to sell their sons and pawn off their daughters just to have food to eat.
But the defeat and retreat of the Great Freedom Demon Sect brought an even greater calamity upon them.
The Demon Sect disciples who could flee had fled, while those who reckoned they couldn’t escape beca even more brutal and insane.
So cultivators with certain abilities simply used these mortals to refine treasures, hoping to gain so life-saving techniques.
Those without cultivation skills didn’t hesitate to kill either, and the souls who perished by their hands were far too nurous.
Yan Wushuang’s heart was heavy, but he found himself without a solution and could only silently think to himself—things might get better after the Great Freedom Demon Sect’s departure.
He didn’t see any Immortal Sect disciples in the city, but he did encounter several hidden Demon Sect mbers, and with a flicker of his sword light, he put an end to them.
He left the city without caring about the townspeople; the fields outside the city lay fallow with no one to work them.
He flew past several green mountains.
The green mountains were brimming with spiritual energy, likely housing a spirit vein.
Yet from within the mountains, sounds of fighting emanated.
Soone shouted, “Spawn of the Demon Sect, dare to resist and you shall die!”
With a heart full of hatred towards the Demon Sect, Yan Wushuang pressed down his tunneling light and landed where the fighting was.
There were two groups in the mountain, one defending and the other attacking.
Among the attacking cultivators were five Golden Cores.
Although the defending side also had a Golden Core, there was only one who was also injured, currently relying on the sect’s grand formation for support.
Seeing no other recourse, the Golden Core roared within the formation, “Our sect is also ranked among the Immortal Sects! We have long resisted the Great Freedom Demon Sect here, with many dead and injured. To now be called remnants of the Demon Sect!”
Yan Wushuang was puzzled and observed in hiding.
Outside the formation, a Golden Core cultivator said coldly, “To survive under the Demon Sect’s rule, you are naturally remnants of the Demon Sect!”
“My direct disciples, four have died, and my brothers have nearly all perished!” The Golden Core within the formation cried out in even greater despair, “How dare you slander us!”
The other disciples in the formation also had eyes red with rage, looking extrely furious.
Judging from these people, they did not practice Demon Sect cultivation techniques; instead, they bore injuries caused by such techniques.
Yan Wushuang had so guesses and decided to reveal his identity, driving away the attackers of the formation.
“Master Yan…”
Saved by him, the Golden Core cultivator was naturally overwhelmingly grateful. Yan Wushuang then asked, “How many sects are in the sa situation as you?”
The Golden Core was taken aback and shook his head, “I can’t say for sure, so sects may have succumbed to the Demon Sect.”
“But there are many more sects like us, with nowhere to go without the spirit veins of our hos, barely managing to hold on. We barely lasted until the Demon Sect’s retreat, but… those people say the Supre Dao has divided this land among them and have branded us as remnants of the Demon Sect…”
Yan Wushuang asked a few more questions, then continued on his way to the Jiushan Sect.
Still, he kept thinking about the affair just now.
Zheng Fa didn’t claim Liang Province, so Master Cheng Kong has naturally made so adjustnts to the distribution plan, and Liang Province was given to many smaller sects—this was also to employ their help in clearing out the remnants of the Demon Sect.
But now it seed that these sects didn’t manage the Demon Sect disciples in the county towns much; instead, they seed ready to sweep clean the local forces and hoard resources first.
Like the sect he encountered before, they were likely targeted for their spirit vein.
He suddenly began to doubt his previous thought—will things really get better after the Demon Sect is gone?
After two days of travel, Yan Wushuang finally caught up with the Sun and Moon Clock.
“Mr. Yan!”
Zheng Fa, upon seeing him, seed too rushed for pleasantries and led him towards the dicine Garden.
To avoid trouble, the Qingjing Bamboo in the dicine Garden was now concealed, but there were many more disciples present.
These disciples were looking at a map laid out in front of them, which depicted the geography, mountains, and rivers of the Jiushan Realm in the mortal world.
Master Qian was waiting there at the map.
“Sect Leader!”
Upon their arrival, the group called out as if waiting for Zheng Fa.
Yan Wushuang was very familiar with the Jiushan Realm, and was startled to find that there were over a thousand disciples present, accounting for more than seventy percent of Jiushan Disciples!
Clearly, a major event was about to take place in the Jiushan Realm!
The atmosphere was serious, and he prudently kept silent, rely observing the proceedings.
Zheng Fa approached the map, waved his hand, and the map floated into the air, growing larger and larger until it covered half the sky.
The map displayed text and symbols, and Yan Wushuang saw they were nas of agricultural crops, densely packed with different types of crops in every corner of the map.
“Now is the season for spring cultivation, and Master Qian has already surveyed the water quality and soil of the mortal worlds to prepare this agricultural planning map.”
“You all have also learned so agricultural knowledge, and now I’m sending you to descend to the mortal world, to guide the mortals in land reclamation and spring plowing.”
Yan Wushuang’s eyes widened, never expecting that Zheng Fa had gathered the majority of the sect’s disciples for such a solemn endeavor, solely to assist mortals in spring farming.
“This is a major affair for our Jiushan Realm, and if you do well, you will naturally be blessed with good deeds!”
Zheng Fa was very serious, not at all viewing the matter as trivial.
“On the other hand, after you return, I also hope you can make a report, including how to interact with mortals, how to motivate them, how to allocate human resources…”
“Those who write a good summary will also be bestowed with good deeds.”
The disciples responded thunderously, accepted the task, and left for the mortal world.
Only Yan Wushuang was still dumbfounded on the side.
Zheng Fa seed too busy to care for him and just looked towards Master Qian.
Master Qian reported, “As per your instructions, Sect Leader, I have already dispatched disciples to places suitable for cultivating spirit plants.”
