C748 There's a Hundred Things to be Done

"From now on, the name of Hell City will be changed to Wind Cloud City! City Lord is the first name of First Throne and Pill Alliance Pill Association, Medicine Refining Master of Seventh Grade Young Master Ling Xiao. Anyone who doesn't obey will be killed without mercy!" Cann Bao flashed in the sky above the city. A powerful Imperial Rank pressure was unleashed. His loud and clear voice was heard in every corner of the city.

Everyone in the city felt Cann Bao's Imperial Rank pressure, and their hearts were filled with shock and fear.

"From today onwards, the name of Hell City will be changed to Wind Cloud City! The city lord is the leader of First Throne and Pill Alliance's Pill Association, Medicine Refining Master of Seventh Grade Young Master Ling Xiao. Anyone who disobeys will be killed without mercy!" Another loud and clear voice was heard. That terrifying pressure was no less than Cann Bao's, but his figure was a little older.

This old man was Liu Qun, who had broken through to the Imperial Rank realm.

Now, he had broken through to the Profound Monarch of Middle Rank realm with the help of a Supreme Grade Profound Monarch Pill, and had even reached the peak of the Profound Monarch realm. He could break through to the Profound Monarch of Middle Rank realm at any time.

He had been suppressing his cultivation base for too long. The accumulated strength was no longer comparable to that of an ordinary half-step Sovereign. He was only one step away from breaking through to the Imperial Rank realm. Ling Xiao's Supreme Grade Profound Monarch Pill had undoubtedly helped him reach this realm.

Now, he had a sigh of relief. Now that he had broken through to the next realm, his lifespan had increased tremendously. Furthermore, following by his young master's side wouldn't be the end of his cultivation realm. As long as he did his best for his young master, he might even become a Saint in the future.

The pressure of the two Imperial Rank experts was shrouding the sky above Hell City. Everyone in the city was panicking, as if they were afraid that these two Imperial Rank experts would attack them all of a sudden.

"This... This is at least a Expert of Monarch Rank. How could Ling Xiao have such an expert by his side? It seems like those who want to look for him in the future will have to think about it carefully.

"That's right. Legend has it that Ling Xiao is Evil Monarch Feng Liu's disciple. Why would his master arrange a few helpers by his side? Otherwise, how could he have dared to openly occupy the city and become the king?

"There's going to be a good show to watch this time. When the Gu family received news that Ling Xiao is here, they will definitely send people to surround and kill him. It's just that it's hard to say who will be the winner until the end.

"Ling Xiao's manpower is not bad, but compared to the Gu family, I'm afraid it's still lacking.

"Moreover, this place is closer to the Black Devil Sect's territory. It's hard to guarantee that the Black Devil Sect will not make a big move.

...

In another bustling city far away, it was known as an ancient city. It was a city under the direct command of the Gu family. The people of the Gu family lived here as well.

Ever since the young generation of the Gu family had participated in the competition for the Imperial Ranking, the atmosphere here had become very different.

The disciples of the Gu family often came and went in a hurry, as if they were busy preparing or doing something.

And following the release of the Ancient Slaughter Order, everyone in the ancient city knew what was going on.

It turned out that the family's medicinal Gu familys and Holy Artifacts of the Gu family had been stolen during the battle for the Imperial Ranking. Moreover, many of the disciples of the Gu family had been killed. Even the leader of the new generation, Gu Yufei, who was infinitely close to killing Emperor Level warriors, had lost his life in the hands of the enemy.

As for the Golden Dragon Spear, the one who had killed the disciples of the Gu family was none other than Ling Xiao, who had taken First Throne's name.

The moment the Ancient Slaughter Order appeared, the entire Central Region was shaken. There were countless people searching for Ling Xiao.

The reward given by Gu family must be very high, enough to buy ten or eight lives of Ling Xiao.

However, the people who discovered Ling Xiao's death in the Medicine Capital tried to kill him, but in the end, all of them were killed by Ling Xiao.

Later on, Ling Xiao went missing in the Medicine Capital. The news of him searching for Ling Xiao was also cut off.

Today, Ling Xiao had reappeared in the City of Hell and became the City Lord of the City of Hell. This news had already reached the ears of the higher ups of the Gu family.

In the meeting hall of Gu family, many upper echelons of Gu family had gathered together.

"The Ancient Slaughter Order has been released for more than a year. Could it be that it still hasn't removed that brat's head?" A dignified middle-aged man sitting at the top coldly said.

This man was the current patriarch of the Gu family, Gu Ann. The strength of the Celestial Sovereign of High Rank was also Gu Yufei's grandfather.

He had always placed good faith in Gu Yufei, but his grandson died before he could grow up. This really made him feel extremely sad.

He really hated the fact that the murderer was still able to live a carefree life until now.

An elder of the Gu Family stood out and said, "Chief, we have received the latest news. Ling Xiao has appeared in Hell City. He even claimed that he has occupied Hell City and become the city lord.

Gu Ann slammed the table heavily and said angrily, "Since we know the whereabouts of that little bastard, why don't we send someone to capture him? I must tear that brat into pieces!

That elder said again, "When we were in the Medicine Capital, those people from the Heavenly Slaughter found Ling Xiao's whereabouts. They sent ten Celestial Sovereign warriors, but all of them returned empty-handed. Besides Ling Xiao, who had advanced to the Celestial Sovereign of Middle Rank realm, there might be other powerful warriors around him. This time, he must be prepared to kill this little thief in Hell City. He must not be allowed to escape!

Another elder said," That's right. This Ling Xiao has obtained the name of First Throne, and has the strength to suppress his peers. He has also broken through to the Celestial Sovereign of Middle Rank realm. His strength is not to be underestimated. He must have a senior elder to protect him.

Gu Ann narrowed his eyes and said, "Is it worth using a senior elder to kill such a junior? Could it be that all the people of Gu family are here to eat rice? No matter how powerful he is, he is still alone. Two fists can't withstand four palms. Just send a few more people over. If we can't capture Ling Xiao like this, then we won't be able to do anything about it. Our Gu family has lost all face!

The elders' faces turned ugly. They knew that Gu Ann was right.

It was unreasonable to use a senior elder to capture a mere Celestial Sovereign of Middle Rank warrior, and the Gu family didn't look too good either.

Gu Ann saw that the few of them didn't say anything and said, "Let's raise the reward. Perhaps when our men arrive, we will have to pay them back. Ling Xiao's head had already been chopped off. As for the Golden Dragon Spear, he couldn't let it fall into someone else's hands no matter what. This time, he would let Gu Ming lead the team to capture that little bastard. If he resisted, he could kill him on the spot.

A skinny old man walked out from a corner. He bowed to Gu Ann and left the hall.

The elders of the Gu family looked at the skinny old man with respect.

Although Gu Ming was not a senior elder, his status was above them because he was a half-step Sovereign.

Wouldn't it be easy for a half-step Sovereign to capture and kill a Celestial Sovereign of Middle Rank?

...

Before the people of Gu family were ready to leave, many forces had already set their eyes on Ling Xiao.

When they received the news that the Gu family was increasing the reward, all of them acted as if they were injected with stimulants and headed towards the Wind Cloud City to kill Ling Xiao.

They all wanted to see if they had the luck to kill Ling Xiao. When they obtained the Holy Artifact grade medicinal Golden Dragon Spear, the allure of the Holy Artifact would be even more tempting than many rewards.

And before the storm was about to arrive, Ling Xiao seemed as if he had not heard anything. He was still in the midst of the great undertaking of rebuilding the Wind Cloud City.

The Wind Cloud City was full of useless things. Firstly, the buildings here were too shabby and shabby. They had to be rebuilt.

However, Ling Xiao and the others naturally wouldn't personally handle these matters.

They only surrounded and rebuilt the area within ten miles of the City Lord's Mansion. The rest would wait for others to slowly rebuild it.

However, the transmission arrays and auctions that were indispensable to any city must be completed immediately.

With Xuan Yao, Elder Han, and Feng Ya's help, it would be a piece of cake to set up the transmission array.

After the construction of the transmission array was completed, it would be much more convenient to enter and exit other cities. It would also allow other people to easily come to Wind Cloud City.

After the transmission array was constructed, Ye Yunfeng and Gu Jiaojiao immediately returned to Gu family to ask for help from the Gu family. They asked them to help Ling Xiao repair the auction and the surrounding buildings of City Lord's Mansion.

Since Ling Xiao was indebted to the Gu family, the Gu family naturally wouldn't neglect him. They immediately sent a large number of people to the Wind Cloud City to help Ling Xiao build the city. The Gu family had also become Ling Xiao's first solid ally. They would also send out large amounts of Pills and spirit herbs to help Ling Xiao organize the auction.

Ling Xiao could feel the sincerity of the Gu family, so he naturally wouldn't refuse. In any case, he knew the principle of having one less enemy and one more friend.

Relying on external forces was never the right way. Ling Xiao and Xuan Yao discussed for a while and started to recruit servants, maids, guards, Deacons and other people.

However, there were no civilians in Wind Cloud City. They wanted to recruit servants and maids. It was not easy to find them.

These people could only be recruited by Lyi Xue, the three master and disciple in a small city not far away.

As for guards, Deacons, and other types of martial artists, they could recruit them in Wind Cloud City.

There must be quite a number of mercenaries and rogue cultivators stationed here. Some of them also wanted to settle down. As long as they had enough offerings, they would naturally rush over.1

Originally, they would have cared about how the Gu family would kill Ling Xiao, but after the warning from the two Imperial Rank warriors, many of them felt confident.

They didn't think that the Gu family would send out all their forces to kill Ling Xiao, right? With these two Imperial Rank warriors guarding the place, they would have to think carefully about it.

In half a month's time, a few Celestial Sovereign warriors that Xuan Yao had recruited earlier would help Cai Xiayue and Bai Yuxi recruit.

In the end, they recruited a total of 1,500 Spirit Masters, more than 500 King Rank, 200 Earthly Sovereign, and 50 Heavenly Sovereigns.

Although these people had all passed the selection, it was impossible for them to immediately be put in an important position within a short period of time. Their loyalty was still something that needed to be tested.

If they were just some fence-sitters, they might as well not have them.

Apart from keeping most of these people in the city to manage the order, a small portion of them were sent to various places to promote the reconstruction of Wind Cloud City, Xiao Hui, and spread the news that the mystery of death had been uncovered. They also brought news of large-scale auctions to various places.

Only by letting those major powers and merchants know about the matters here could Wind Cloud City flourish as soon as the trade became frequent!

Everything was going according to plan, but in this flourishing scene, there was a hidden killing intent.

The Gu family medicinal Ancient Slaughter Order's rallying power was about to completely erupt at this moment as well.
