Chapter 650 Kneel Down For Me
Sacred Leaf Town had become a large construction site, with new buildings rising from the ground everywhere. The barbarian laborers were all extremely powerful. In addition, the Terminator Forest and the Scarlet Dragon Mountain were rich in wood and stone resources, causing this place to change every day. The town hall was also being flipped over. Compared to its previous simplicity, the new building's spirit was completely like the administrative center of a large city.
Ye He complained about this and felt that there was no need to be so high-profile. However, Gu Tianyou ignored his opinion and insisted on expanding Sacred Leaf Town by more than ten times. This kind of expansion and reconstruction, regardless of the cost, would naturally result in enormous consumption. The resources he had plundered from the Andalusian Society and the Wind Forest Fire Pirates were quickly consumed. Safena, who was in charge of internal affairs, complained more than once that the stock of food and gold coins was getting smaller and smaller, and that there was going to be a crisis soon.
The inhabitants of Sacred Leaf Town are mainly Asians. They have always had barbarian workers and orc soldiers. They say that they can't kill you and eat you to death. All of them had extraordinary talent, but they were lazy and greedy. They were even more accustomed to living on the heavens. They were not a race that knew how to grow crops. Andalusia will have a large farm south of the Scarlet Dragon Mountains where thousands of Sovereign federal immigrants grow crops to feed Sacred Leaf Town.
The Andalusians used to control the food supply in Sacred Leaf Town, including other industries related to the crop industry. After that night, the Andalusians suffered heavy losses and basically completely left Sacred Leaf Town, directly disrupting food supplies. Although the town hall had confiscated the stock they had left in the town, it was still limited in quantity. These barbarian laborers worked ten at a time, but they ate twenty at a time.
Before going into seclusion, Gu Tianyou gave a death order to change the appearance of Sacred Leaf Town within a month. When the Divine Kingdom's patrol army arrived, they would see a different Sacred Leaf Town. No matter what is needed, as long as it is needed for the expansion of the flip-flop project, it will be satisfied.
Safena had already done her best, but after all, a clever woman could not cook without rice. She did not have so many things in her hands. No matter how capable she was, there was nothing she could do.
Yang Kun of Shennong Gang was still hibernating in the Desolate Lawn Shennong Gang's headquarters, not showing up at all. Even though Gu Tianyou had sent people to rob the Shennong Gang's warehouses in the town, he didn't express anything. This guy was obviously waiting for something. He could wait, but Gu Tianyou didn't want him to wait any longer. For nothing else, it was for the millions of kilograms of grain that the Wilderness Lawn Shennong Gang had hoarded.
Gu Tianyou had no choice but to be forced by Safena. He had thought of all the ideas he could think of. The hundreds of immigrants in the Primordial Chaos Realm had planted some food, but it was only enough for their own rations. If they forcefully expropriated it, it would definitely have a devastating impact on their lives. The gains were not worth the losses. The Andalusian Society in the Scarlet Dragon Mountain should have some food, but on the one hand, they didn't dare to rashly snatch it, and on the other hand, they wanted to resume their relationship with them.
After calculating for a long time, he finally decided to turn his attention to the Shennong Gang.
The first step was to clarify the relationship between the Shennong Gang and the Divine Kingdom's military, and verify the previous speculation by visiting Shennong Hall.
The old shopkeeper of the Chen Clan introduced that Yang Kun of the Shennong Gang was a collateral descendant of the Yang Clan in Sunset City, but the contacts between the Shennong Gang and the military were bridged by the Chen Clan. It wasn't just this little business cooperation in Sacred Leaf Town, the two sides also had a tacit understanding at a higher level. The Chen Clan's three pavilion elders were currently counsellors and military ministers in the Divine Kingdom Imperial Court, while the Yang Clan had an assistant minister in the Imperial Court. They belonged to the same camp and fought against the two saints together.
With this relationship, it was only natural for him to ask the Chen Clan to help him establish a good relationship with the Northern Army of the Divine Kingdom. This Yang Kun could be said to be an exquisite person. Not only did he make friends with the Divine Kingdom's military, he also had a very harmonious relationship with Sunset City and the four major federation merchant groups. He even worshipped the Heavenly Dao Patriarch of the Shun Tian Dao Sect, Chu Yunhan. It was said that it was personally recommended by a young miss of the Chen Clan.
Heavenly Daoism spread throughout the entire Sinian Origin Realm. Heavenly Dao Ancestor Chu Yunhan claimed to be the person who possessed the key to the world entrance. He represented the Great Saint Master and entered the Sinian Origin Realm only to save the world. This person had been hibernating in the capital of the Divine Kingdom for a hundred years and had secretly developed an enormous network. Both Gu Di Yu Xu and the Xuanyuan Three Saints regarded him as their great enemy and wished they could get along quickly. However, this person was extremely outstanding. He had actually developed the Heavenly Daoism to the territory of the Federation Ming Zun. He was also hiding there, making it difficult for the saints of the Divine Kingdom to pursue him.
The preaching of the Dao depended on whether or not they had the will to do so in their hearts. There are many people in this world who are not satisfied with their current situation. The preaching of the Heavenly Daoism was mainly aimed at the underprivileged and local ruffians, ambitious people who wanted to seek dissatisfaction from large clans. After many years of secret development, he had indeed continued to have a considerable amount of power, and his influence could not be underestimated. As a small duke in the Ancient Commercial Dao, Yang Kun had to deal with all kinds of Jianghu people frequently. He entered Heavenly Taoism only for the sake of having multiple identities and paths.
This was Shopkeeper Chen's explanation, but Gu Tianyou didn't quite agree with it.
Yang Kun was born in Sunset City, had a close relationship with the Heavenly Daoism, and had frequent contacts with the Northern Army through the Chen Clan. I'm afraid the situation here isn't that simple. The Chen Clan adhered to the ancestral teachings and inherited the medical dao as their foundation. They did not contend with the world and did not have the habit of being enemies in their thinking. Therefore, it was easier to draw a relatively gentle conclusion when looking at a matter.
The situation in Sacred Leaf Town was very complicated. Andalucia would be the same as the Windwood Fire Pirates. This was evident from the fact that the Windwood Fire Pirates had never committed any crimes against them. The Wind Forest Fire Pirates were based in Scarlet Dragon Mountain, which was also the headquarters of the Andalusian Society. Bai Su once said that the Andalusian Society was on the surface a business-oriented chamber of commerce, but in reality, it had been trying to control the subhuman race with joy pills and food. It was even more sinister than the Wind Forest Fire Pirates.
The Shennong Gang's role in Sacred Leaf Town was not simple either. On the one hand, Yang Kun interacted with the Divine Kingdom's military, while on the other hand, he flirted with Andalusia. For many years, the two sides had been safe and sound, and the food he had accumulated was from Chi Long Shan's farm. A considerable portion of that grain is used as military rations.
According to Bai Su, these people had arrived in Sacred Leaf Town about eighty years ago, and they gradually formed a large scale after entering in batches. What puzzled Gu Tianyou was that the four major federation merchant groups and the Yang Zhao clans had spent so much time in this place, investing so much manpower and material resources, enslaving a million Asians. Was it really just to open up a gathering point for adventurers and buy some specialties from the Terminator Forest?
With the strength of Returning Sun City and the four major merchant groups of the Church's Knights Templar Order, they could have done even better. Eighty years was enough for them to manage this place, so there was no need to worry about Tong Bang Tie Pi. However, they did not do so. Instead, they carefully controlled the development speed of Sacred Leaf Town, seemingly consciously avoiding attracting the attention of some people.
Gu Tianyou remembered that they had once pretended to be voodoo horses and robbed a thousand-man team of the God's Blessing Army. The Chen Clan was still in the dark about this matter. This was undoubtedly a very risky move, and if it wasn't for an extraordinary purpose, they would never have done so. From this, it could be inferred that they must be carrying out some big plan. And Yang Kun, a seemingly inconspicuous person, must have played a very important role in this plan.
The four large merchant groups of the Templar Knights led by the Mihawk Family had spent eighty years in the border town of Sunset City , guarding the West Sea. The Northern Army of the Divine Kingdom, one million enslaved Asians, and even the barbarians of the Wilderness on the Northern Ice Plains combined these clues together to form an astonishing inference. Their plan was most likely aimed at the Northern Army of the Divine Kingdom! It was even aimed at the entire Skyquaking Divine Kingdom.
Gu Tianyou knew very well that his arrival had disrupted their originally orderly balance. That was why Yang Kun would not hesitate to hire an assassin like Ling Xuzi to get rid of him. However, that night, he failed. Immediately after, the Wind Forest Fire Pirates appeared, but they were annihilated by him and his three disciples. Next, he stood still and watched as he built up Sacred Leaf Town, wiping out the Andalusian Society's forces, and lifting up the Asians who had already been taken care of by them.
What exactly was this Yang Kun waiting for? Was it the upcoming Myriad Divine Kingdom? Or was it after that night, a new batch of Wind Forest Fire Pirates? Or was it some kind of expert? There were too many possibilities to answer, and even with Gu Tianyou's meticulousness, it would be difficult to lock onto a certain one.
Stationary snakes are like invisible enemies, you never know where the attack begins. The best way to deal with him was to let him move first. Yang Kun pretended to be stupid, so Gu Tianyou decided to alarm him and force him to move, starting with robbing him of his military supplies. After greeting Chen Dihuang, the old shopkeeper of Shennong Hall, Gu Tianyou and Little Fox Maiden called for Wild Crane again. Only three people and three riders set off towards the desolate lawn.
The Desolate Lawn was located at the northwest corner of Sacred Leaf Town, at the foot of the Ten Thousand Trees Mountain on the outskirts of the The Shennong Gang's main altar was built on a raised hill. The mountain range was gentle and the village gate was simple and crude. There was no power to resist danger and defend it, but it revealed an artificial calmness. It reminded Gu Tianyou of some stories that had been passed down from ancient times about how wise generals used war to take risks. This Yang Kun was most likely a smart fellow.
Walking to the village gate, Ye He hesitated, "Are you sure you want to do this? How is it different from robbing someone for food?"
Gu Tianyou smiled and said, "He was unrighteous first. He sent someone to assassinate me. His treasured sword is already on my throat. Why can't I slash him back when I recover? I only need a few hundred thousand kilograms of grain. It shouldn't be too much, right?"
Ye He sighed and said, "It is not easy for him to survive in this place. We broke the original order when we first arrived, causing his disgust or worry. It is understandable for him to act out of line on impulse."
"Are you afraid that I will slaughter this place in anger?" Gu Tianyou looked at him with a smile, "Brother Dao, do you really think I'm a bloodthirsty madman?"
"There were more than 50,000 federal immigrants and members of the Wind Forest Fire Pirates who died that night. Most of them were civilians," Ye He said.
Gu Tianyou gestured for the little fox girl to call the door. He turned to Ye He and said, "Your so-called commoners are bandits when they pick up their swords and spears. They have been living in Sacred Leaf Town all these years as high-ranking races. Which one of their hands hasn't been stained with the blood of a few Asians? If you say that to Bai Su, she can slap you with her mouth, believe it?"
"Forget it, forget about the past." Ye He was a bit out of his mind. He changed the topic and said, "Poverty Dao hopes that you can cultivate the Heavenly Heart today and not commit any evil deeds. There are many people in Shennong Gang who are disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect. Poverty Dao has asked for your favor on their behalf."
Gu Tianyou laughed loudly, "That depends on whether Yang Kun gives you this face or not." As soon as he finished speaking, the Shennong Gang's stronghold door opened wide. A middle-aged man with a big beard greeted him. He trotted all the way to Gu Tianyou and Ye He and cupped his fists and cupped his hands, saying, "The sheriff is here. The Shennong Gang is very proud. I, Yang Kun, am sorry for my loss. I dare ask the sheriff to forgive me."
"Fuck you! Forgive me for what sin? What do you mean? I don't like it. Since I know I'm wrong, I'll immediately kneel down!"
