Chapter 90 The Lost City of Time 10
The elders watching from the sidelines looked utterly dejected, and no one had the will to stop this farce.
The two patriarchs were also watching this farce, and they were all a little confused. What kind of successor had they chosen?
As Cheng Jiu and the others listened to the two clan leaders revealing each other's dirty secrets while they fought, strange smiles appeared on their faces.
Can it be said that these two are truly sworn enemies who have been locked in a fierce battle for over a decade? As the saying goes, the one who understands you best is not you, but your opponent.
Chief Mensler knew that Chief Befari had a penchant for incest, but he never expected that Chief Mensler would have a taste for married women and even sleep with his own daughter-in-law. While beating him, Chief Mensler revealed who else Chief Mensler had slept with.
The elders watching from the sidelines all looked at the clan chief of Bofar with fierce eyes and menacing aura.
Chief Befari knew that Chief Mensler was a homosexual, but he never expected him to be so perverted, not only stealing other men's underwear but also coveting his son! As he retaliated, he talked about who he had drugged and slept with.
The pool of candidates was incredibly large, including several Golden Core stage elders he had brought with him today! They treated him like a clan leader, like a brother, but all he wanted to do was sleep with them!
These elders were so engrossed in their work that they immediately joined the fray.
In the end, it was no longer just the two clan leaders fighting each other, but five or six elders working together to beat them up.
“Awesome!” Cheng Jiu slowly uttered a single word.
“Hey, you know what, we didn’t even have to lift a finger, these people started fighting amongst themselves,” Yingyue said.
"Enough!" the two elders spoke again, their tone extremely stern this time.
"We beg the Ancestor to do us justice!" Several elders knelt on the ground.
"Once this matter is resolved with them, we will take care of things for you. And you two are still making a fool of yourselves there. Get over here now!"
Cheng Jiu and the others sighed. Gong Yu stepped out of the Berfari family group chat: "We still have to fight!"
"Why bother? It's okay to continue!" Wen Sishu sighed.
“Yeah, we can’t beat them anyway!” Gong Yu nodded.
"You bunch of brats! How dare you spout such nonsense! Today, I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of your parents and masters, and show you what true arrogance is!" The clan leader struck first, followed closely by the others.
The elders of the two families formed a human barrier, attempting to trap them.
In less than a night, thirty people were either lying down or dead. In particular, the two clan leaders had been injured in their fight earlier, and now their heads were swollen like pigs' heads as they groaned on the ground.
Cheng Jiu brandished the Heavenly Wood Sword, still somewhat unsatisfied: "Tie them up, Mary."
“Lord of the City!” Mary looked at Cheng Jiu respectfully.
Cheng Jiu patted her shoulder: "In a little while, you will lead the guards to search every house. Innocent people can be released, but those who have blood on their hands and abuse their power should not be let go!"
While we're at it, let me also announce along the way that all those old regulations have been abolished!
My senior brother will be with you then; if there is any resistance, you can hand him over to them.
Oh, by the way, I remember there are also demonic cultivators and evil cultivators in the city. Do you know them? If you do, please guide us when we arrive!
“Yes, Lord City Lord, all my subordinates know this!” Mary said with delight.
"Then we'll go with them, junior sister!" It was agreed in advance that Gong Cheng Gong Yu would go with them.
The abolition of old regulations will inevitably lead to the establishment of new ones. Thinking about this makes Cheng Jiu's head spin. From her previous life to now, she has never been a management talent, so she can only draw on the regulations of Qingli City and Yaochen City, and maybe even add Jinguan City.
Unfortunately, Nan Yanzhe stated from the beginning that he had no interest in the position of sect leader of the Tianji Sect, and that his junior brother Shi Fang would inherit the position in the future.
Therefore, he had never studied or intervened in management.
Therefore, the main force behind the formulation of the new regulations was Yingyue, Wen Sishu, and Liu Shaoyuan.
As for Cheng Jiu, he naturally had to assume the responsibility of the city lord to conduct the review.
The plan was not developed overnight. During this period, Gongcheng and Gongyu not only wiped out the demonic and evil cultivators, but also rescued the female slaves and male servants who had been sold, and released all the women in the brothel.
This also made them very popular in the city. Nabu and Agana also came out of their grief. Instead of burying Kana in the family mausoleum, they burned her and threw her ashes into the sea. Kana had been trapped by the Hatima family all her life and could not get out. After her death, the two hoped that she could be free.
After these past few days, Nabu has come to terms with things. She can also understand her mother, since it was all her father's fault. So, although Nabu's father has always wanted to see Nabu and Agana, the two of them have refused.
Although the two women belonged to the innocent and innocent category within the family, they were members of the Hattima family and never denied the sins they carried. To atone for their sins, they actively devoted themselves to resettling the rescued female slaves and prostitutes.
The female slaves came from out of town. Some of the prostitutes' parents, upon learning that the city lord's mansion had rescued their daughters, came to claim them immediately. But others, whose families felt these women were shameful, did not come.
These people were then settled by Nabu and Agana, who provided shelter for these poor souls.
Besides them, there was also the group of people that Gu Niangzi had captured before. Cheng Jiu had only said that they could take them back voluntarily, without forcing them. There were some families with extremely disharmonious relationships, so they were tested and not taken back first.
Finding that the city lord's mansion didn't say anything, others followed suit, and in the end, only one-tenth of them were taken back.
This group of people had already had their bodies damaged by Gu Niangzi, and several of them had already died because their mortal bodies were left unattended.
The newly appointed city lords, Cheng Jiu and his companions, couldn't just watch these people die. As for instructing them to take the people back to their own homes, they couldn't bring themselves to do such a thing. In the end, they settled the men in the same courtyard as the male servants.
These people inevitably suffered from some illnesses. In order to help them regain their lives, Cheng Jiu and his companions refined a large batch of low-grade body-strengthening pills as payment for building a school.
Yes, Cheng Jiu wants to open a school. Why have the three major families been able to act so arrogantly in the city for so many years? Besides the support of the "gods," isn't it because they have power?
After dealing with the evil cultivators and demonic forces in the city, Gong Cheng and Gong Yu held a public trial as Cheng Jiu had suggested. These nobles had been bullying the people in the city for so many years, and the people who had been oppressed could not believe that the mountain above their heads had been dug up.
Upon receiving the notice and arriving at the square, they saw the once high and mighty noble lords and ladies kneeling like dead dogs. They also heard the newly arrived city lords say that they could avenge them, so they all rushed forward!
They were beaten to death by the angry mob! Nabu and Agana watched indifferently, ignoring their former tribesmen's pleas for help.
After the school was built, Cheng Jiu and Yingyue walked down the street and looked at the surrounding scenery, feeling a sense of loss and change.
This place used to seem bustling, but people were always in a hurry, like gray mice.
But looking at it today, it's only been three months, and many shops have already opened on the street. People dressed in smart clothes are casually buying their favorite items, and the shop owners are all smiles, as if a piece of dusty glass has been carefully wiped clean and shines again.
The city was bursting with life and energy, and the two of them felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction as they walked down the street.
"Mother!" A woman leading a boy walked up to a middle-aged woman selling steamed buns.
"Why are you here? And with your younger brother!" The middle-aged woman looked at the woman with a smile on her face.
Cheng Jiu nudged Yingyue and pointed at the two of them: "They look like the girls we met when we first entered the city."
"Yes! Her father wasn't taken back by them." Yingyue nodded.
"Hmm, speaking of which, I was quite worried about the girl when I saw her mother like that before." Cheng Jiu sighed, after all, the girl's despair at the time was truly unforgettable. But now it seems she's doing alright.
"My mother works hard to support the family, so I came to see if there's anything I can help with. My brother thinks the same way; after all, we're part of the family too!" As she spoke, the woman quickly helped her mother collect money and hand over items.
The little boy was helping his mother and sister with chores, and the family was enjoying a happy time together.
The school has started, but there are only seven teachers. Why are there seven people forming a school instead of a sect? Because the seven people come from different sects. If they were to establish a sect, what would it be called?
They are good friends again. The school is simple and honest. The students they take in are teachers, not masters. Masters are responsible for their apprentices, but teachers are not.
The seven never intended to stay here forever; what they wanted more was to pass on the flame of cultivation so that the people of this city could truly live for themselves.
With this vision in mind, this school was established.
Based on the city's basic situation, they originally thought they wouldn't take in too many female students, and they were prepared to enforce the law door-to-door if the situation became too bad.
But there were so many female students that almost all the eligible girls in the city came.
According to them, Mary, Nabu, and Agana notified each household a few days before the start of school, so each family dared not delay and sent their children over.
As soon as the academy opened, the group was plunged into a headache, because during the aptitude test, there were hardly any good aptitudes. Forget gold aptitude, there were only two people with purple aptitude: Agana and Mary. Most were white or green, and blue was considered exceptionally gifted.
Nabu's aptitude isn't particularly high, only blue. With fire, wood, and water as her three spiritual roots, her current cultivation level is entirely due to the resources and efforts of several people.
But with so many people, it's unrealistic to expect everyone to have their resources poured into them. Even if they have a lot of resources, they can't afford to spend so much.
Besides the individual's aptitude, the spiritual energy of this place is extremely thin, making resources for cultivation even scarcer.
The original concept of universal cultivation of immortality, which arose from the previous era, was completely shattered.
Faced with reality, their initial enthusiasm was immediately extinguished, and they had to make changes based on the facts.
We can't let everyone cultivate immortality. Fortunately, Wen Sishu comes from the mortal world and has some martial arts manuals.
Learning martial arts is a very good choice. Although the upper limit is relatively low, it consumes fewer resources and is relatively easy to get started with.
In the end, only those with blue aptitude or above were selected to cultivate immortality; the rest studied martial arts.
Besides martial arts, the original inhabitants of Jinyao City have another path to immortality. Jinyao City originally had an immortality inheritance, but it was monopolized by the three major families. Now that the three major families have been destroyed, this inheritance can be made public. Unfortunately, only the original inhabitants of Jinyao City can cultivate it, which seems to be related to their bloodline.
As time went by, the group also noticed a change: it felt more real. Previously, the caravans that came to Jinyao City were all carrying female slaves.
But gradually, more and more people came seeking a path to immortality. They had heard from somewhere that there was a school run by immortals in Jinyao City and came to seek that path.
Fewer and fewer merchant caravans were bringing female slaves into the city, and female merchants were gradually appearing in the caravans.
"Lord of the City!" Cheng Jiu taught people how to make talismans, and everyone in the city knew that Cheng Jiu was the Lord of Golden Radiance City!
"What's wrong?" Time flies, and Cheng Jiuqi has been here for seven years.
The group originally thought that the "god" had only been here for a few months. During those months, the seven of them prepared a very elaborate altar for the "god," making sure that he would have a big meal the moment he came down.
