The ancient Huyang City finally returned to peace after the battle between two Chaos Realm peak experts.

“It’s a pity about my weapon, all the cosmic sand I had accumulated was taken away!”

“Being alive is good enough.”

“Let’s leave quickly.”

That night, a large number of Eternal True Gods, Void True Gods, and True Gods from the Heart Shadow Sect were released!

Many of the sect’s Eternal True Gods carried the sect’s large mechanical secret treasures and other things, while some carried inheritance items. Now, all of them had been taken away, leaving them without even a single weapon.

The Void True God and True God level disciples were not troubled.

“The Heart Shadow Sect is gone. Marquis Liuyin and the two old ancestors don’t care about us. Where do we go now?”

“Where can’t we go with our strength?”

“Huyang City is on the border between two countries, and they might fight again someday. I’d rather go to an ordinary city.”

“Senior Brother Yu Fang, let’s go together.”

The Eternal True Gods were still quite confident. After all, they were once disciples of a major sect. Even without weapons and treasures, their secret techniques were still formidable. Many of them began to leave Huyang City and head to surrounding cities.

“The Great Sage Luohe hates evil and dislikes dark forces. His Huyang City is still suitable for living in.” Some Eternal True Gods were unwilling to travel anymore.

Many of the Heart Shadow Sect’s Void True Gods and True Gods were weak and even more unwilling to travel long distances. Many preferred to reside in Huyang City.

“Great Sage Luohe didn’t take our treasures, he’s very kind.” These Void True Gods and True Gods had a very good impression of Luo Feng.

More than 80% of the released Eternal True Gods from the Heart Shadow Sect left, but the majority of the middle and lower levels stayed in Huyang City, determined to settle down here. This greatly increased the number of experts in Huyang City.

“Huyang City will be lively in the future.”

On the city wall of the City Lord’s Mansion, Luo Feng looked out at the peaceful city under the dark night. This was his city now.

“Master,” Morosa appeared beside him. “All the treasures of the Heart Shadow Sect have been confiscated and are under my personal control. Everything has been inventoried.”

“How is it?” Luo Feng asked.

“It’s all here.” Morosa handed a jade bottle to Luo Feng, containing all the treasures and wealth.

Luo Feng took it and examined it.

“The Heart Shadow Sect’s wealth is stored in the Yanfeng Pavilion’s dark hall, jointly managed by the two Chaos Realm experts. Usually, the sect master applies, and the two Chaos Realm experts will release a small amount,” Morosa said.

“What we can confiscate are mainly some physical objects from the Heart Shadow Sect.”

Luo Feng wasn’t surprised. With two Chaos Realm experts, the real core treasures of the Heart Shadow Sect were definitely hidden by them.

“The wealth we confiscated consists of the assets of thousands of Eternal True Gods from the Heart Shadow Sect, and probably also includes what they plundered from Huyang City. Now it’s all mixed together and difficult to distinguish. There are a total of 2.9 billion cosmic sand, along with weapons and treasures worth about 3.7 billion cosmic sand, including the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom’s battleship, the sect’s treasure, and many large secret treasures, which have all been calculated at a discounted price.”

Luo Feng nodded. In total, it was only a little over 6 billion cosmic sand.

The accumulation of either of the Heart Shadow Sect’s two Chaos Realm ancestors probably exceeded this.

Like Marquis Liuyin’s weapon, it was worth 5 billion, and what he spent on his own cultivation was probably much more.

“As for their sect’s inheritance, not counting the weak ones, there are 122 kinds of Chaos level inheritances and five kinds of God King level inheritances. However, these five God King level inheritances only have the part that cultivates to the Chaos Realm,” Morosa said.

“According to the interrogation, the subsequent parts of the Chaos Realm are in the hands of the two Chaos Realm experts of the Heart Shadow Sect.”

Luo Feng had already discovered the five God King level inheritances in the jade bottle. His divine power permeated them, and he read them through.

All of them stopped abruptly after cultivating to the Chaos Realm.

There were no subsequent parts at all.

“It’s really not easy to obtain a God King level inheritance suitable for oneself,” Luo Feng sighed inwardly.

Any force’s control over inheritance is very strict. Want to obtain a top inheritance? You have to pay a price. Becoming a guest elder of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom sounds like a good thing, but you can guess with your eyes closed that any inheritance requires a price.

Even Di Chu, a Chaos Realm expert of the royal family, has to compete for resources. As a guest elder, you will pay even more.

“Being a guest elder at least gives you the opportunity to compete for resources and inheritance.” Luo Feng understood this. “Without being a guest elder, you don’t even have the opportunity.”

That night.

Most of the original ruling five major families of Huyang City were unwilling because the master of this city had become Great Sage Luohe. Their days of lying around eating and drinking were over.

“The Yanfeng Pavilion has arranged for flying ships to escort the families away. Everyone, hurry up and prepare.” In the Mei Wu family, many clansmen were unwilling, but the operational order of the entire Yu Kingdom’s high level was decided by the God Kings and Chaos Realm experts.

The master of the fief, Marquis Jiujiang, took the initiative to give Huyang City to Luohe! The Yu Kingdom’s ruler was also happy to see this scene.

These large family branches didn’t even have the right to object.

“What arrangements will the ancestral land make for us? Will they send us to other large cities?”

“There are only so many large cities in the Yu Kingdom. Where can we be placed? We can only go back to the ancestral land first.”

“Return to the ancestral land and follow the arrangements.”

They were previously ruling families, and many members of the family held important positions in Huyang City. Even if they didn’t hold any positions, they would receive a lot of Chaos Crystals every era. Now, all of that was gone.

The Yanfeng Pavilion arranged for flying ships to escort the five major families away that night.

“Father,” Mo Limeng looked at his father, Mo Lixiao.

“Follow the City Lord well in the future,” Mo Lixiao smiled.

“If possible, I would also like to follow the City Lord. It’s just that I have responsibilities, and the royal capital ordered me to obey.”

Previously in Huyang City, the City Lord managed many affairs, and Mo Lixiao was responsible for the legion’s affairs. They were the ones who actually did the work.

The Yu Kingdom’s royal capital withdrew its management and completely delegated authority to Luo Feng, naturally transferring Mo Lixiao and the others away.

Mo Lixiao was not a useless family member; he had great use.

“I’m taking away most of the family members, leaving only a few for you. You must take good care of them,” Mo Lixiao said.

“Don’t worry, Father,” Mo Limeng nodded. His father had also left him three Eternal True Gods from the family to help.

Mo Lixiao smiled and nodded.

This time, Luo Feng personally invited Mo Limeng to stay! Mo Limeng was previously responsible for many affairs in the city and was very familiar with city management, and he was capable.
As for Mo Li Xiao? Luo Feng didn’t care so much, because the future Hu Yang City wouldn’t need a military force for deterrence!

City Lord’s Mansion.

Luo Feng looked at Mo Li Meng and Mo Yu Hu in front of him and said with a smile, “From now on, you two will be the Deputy City Lords of Hu Yang City. You can discuss and resolve most of the matters, and report to me if you can’t resolve them.”

“Yes, City Lord.” Mo Li Meng and Mo Yu Hu were both excited.

Previously, Hu Yang City was governed jointly by the leaders of the five major families, so Mo Li Meng’s power wasn’t as great as it was now!

Moreover, now he was following a Chaos Realm peak expert. Mo Li Meng knew that he had encountered a great opportunity.

Mo Yu Hu was even more excited. He had previously served under Mo Li Meng and was very familiar with many administrative matters within the city.

“I never thought that I, Mo Yu Hu, would be able to become the Deputy City Lord of Hu Yang City. Mo Yu Hu felt that the day he met City Lord Luo He in the wild was simply the turning point of his destiny.”

Luo Feng nodded.

He didn’t have the energy to manage the city himself, but he wouldn’t trust just one side either.

“Let me first state two future rules,” Luo Feng said.

Mo Li Meng and Mo Yu Hu immediately listened carefully.

“First, there will be no dark forces in Hu Yang City from now on,” Luo Feng said.

Mo Li Meng and Mo Yu Hu were both familiar with the affairs of the city, and they both realized the impact of this rule! Most of the profits of many ordinary merchants were collected by the dark forces. Sometimes they would even lose money after working hard.

Without dark forces, the commerce of Hu Yang City would surely flourish.

This would also greatly increase the attractiveness for some cultivators who wanted to settle down.

“Second, Hu Yang City will not need the Hu Yang Legion from now on,” Luo Feng said.

“The Hu Yang Guards will remain, responsible for maintaining order within the city.”

The Hu Yang Legion was used to deter enemies and deal with powerful opponents.

His city didn’t need a legion.

“These are the two main points. You two can discuss the other detailed management plans and then submit them to me,” Luo Feng said.

“My requirement is… that the management of the City Lord’s Mansion should be as streamlined as possible.”

“Yes,” Mo Li Meng and Mo Yu Hu both replied.

“City Lord, during this war, a small number of citizens of Hu Yang City were lost, and the current population should be around 500 billion,” Mo Li Meng said.

“The residential fees collected each season are about 50 million universe sand, and the income from the Chaos Ruins each epoch is about 6 million universe sand! Twenty percent of the residential fees are handed over to the royal capital, and the rest is needed to maintain the operation of the entire city. The amount that can be offered to the City Lord each season should be around 30 million universe sand,” Mo Li Meng explained.

Luo Feng understood.

It didn’t seem like much, but this income was available every epoch!

A thousand epochs would be a full 30 billion universe sand.

Of course, normal Chaos Realm experts would breed a large number of descendants over the long years, and the cultivation expenses of these descendants would accumulate to a huge amount.

His family was in the Primal Universe region, and their strength was generally weak. Most of his clansmen couldn’t even become “Immortals.”

In contrast, the great clans of the Origin Continent had True Gods as their starting point! The accumulated number was huge, with many Void True Gods even exceeding a thousand, and Eternal True Gods were very common. The continuous expenses each season were also very large.

“Even the Yan Feng Ancient Kingdom’s royal family doesn’t dare to openly supply resources; the descendants still have to compete for them,” Luo Feng thought to himself.

Perhaps some ancient beings deliberately reincarnated to get rid of the burden of their large clans. Sometimes, when a family grew to a certain extent, it became a drag on some ancient beings.

“City Lord,” Mo Yu Hu said respectfully, “Some cultivators who have joined the City Lord’s Mansion also want to obtain some cultivation inheritances.”

“As long as they have enough merit, they will have the opportunity to exchange for inheritances,” Luo Feng nodded.

The most important reason why cultivators followed strong experts was for inheritance. Without inheritance, relying on self-exploration was a hundred or a thousand times more difficult.

“You can leave now and work out a management plan for Hu Yang City,” Luo Feng instructed.

“Yes.” The two Deputy City Lords, full of ambition, respectfully retreated.

Mo Luo Sa had been on the side all along, and now said, “Master, the Mo Li Meng family has several Eternal True Gods, and some familiar Eternal True Gods such as Gao Wu Shui have also joined. Their side has a strong influence, while Mo Yu Hu is relatively weaker.”

“You’re wrong. Most of the Zhu Clan has already returned tonight and is currently with Mo Yu Lie Feng,” Luo Feng said with a smile.

After all, Mo Yu Lie Feng was the personal disciple of Zhu You. With the master-disciple relationship, the Zhu Clan had already joined the Mo Yu family as soon as possible.

Mo Luo Sa understood.

Even though Luo Feng trusted Mo Yu Hu and Mo Li Meng, he still made them restrain each other.

Hu Yang City gradually had a new order.

The Eternal True Gods and Void True Gods who had been plundered by the Heart Shadow Sect were surprised to find that the dark forces had completely disappeared? And their fixed assets were also returned by the City Lord’s Mansion.

“Life will be better in the future.” Many ordinary merchants felt extremely fortunate.

Back then, Black Butcher had been freed from a lot of extortion thanks to Luo Feng.

Now, the merchants of the entire Hu Yang City no longer had to worry about the dark forces, and the commercial power was more prosperous than before.

“Hu Yang City has become better than it was in the past.” Gao Wu Shui, leading a Hu Yang Guard, looked at the prosperous city from afar, revealing a smile.

“With a Chaos Realm expert sitting in the city, more and more ordinary True Gods are coming to Hu Yang City.”

At another location.

Luo Feng, with a servant and a disciple, had already met with Di Chu Yu and the others.

“It seems that your two Deputy City Lords are managing Hu Yang City quite well,” Di Chu Yu said with a smile.

“In the future, whether Hu Yang City can become better depends on your strength, Brother Luo He. The stronger you become, the more prosperous this city will be.”

Luo Feng looked at the city and said with a smile, “It will definitely become more prosperous.”

“Let’s go.”

Di Chu Yu immediately used a time-space treasure to connect to the distant Yan Feng Ancient Kingdom.

“Buzz!”

The space ahead twisted, and a time-space passage appeared.

Di Chu Yu, along with the Deputy Curator, Luo Feng, Mo Luo Sa, and Mo Yu Qing Yan, flew into the time-space passage together.
