The Red Robe Army left. Although half of the soldiers stayed on this land forever, for Mo Haolin, the sacrifice was worth it.
Millions of ferocious beasts have been wiped out, including the death of the giant ape king. This will mean that the people of Xuanyang Territory will no longer have to worry about the attacks of ferocious beasts for at least several decades in the future.
The Red Robe Army can also rest and recuperate for a long time.
At the same time, some soldiers in the army were able to retire early, and the large amount of gold and silver they exchanged for loot from Qin Fan was enough to keep them comfortable with food and clothing for the rest of their lives.
For Mo Haolin, who is used to seeing life and death, this is the best outcome.
If they just consume each other with the beast tide as before, until the beast king is full and consciously leads the beasts back to the desert, it is probably difficult for these soldiers under him to find an opportunity to completely put down this heavy mission.
This kind of endless fighting is too painful, and he thinks that he can bear it enough.
Then Mo Haolin thought of the young man with a warm smile. He knew everything he was doing. To him, the young man himself was a whirlpool of trouble.
This was true thirteen years ago, and it is true now.
And after this battle is over, enough funds will allow him to jump out of the quagmire, and he does not need to be caught between that terrible woman and this troublesome man.
He knew about the recent changes in Daxuan, and also knew that a new era was coming, but after receiving the heavy military order from the late emperor.
There is only one purpose left for him to survive, which is to resist the attack of the ferocious beast to the death. Other than that, other things have nothing to do with him.
"It's over for now." With a sigh, Mo Haolin felt a lot more relaxed for no reason. The rising sun in the east gave the army returning with a great victory a golden light.
A good life was waiting for him, and he believed in it so unswervingly.
...
The Xuanyang Guards left, and compared to the Red Robe Army, only one-tenth of their number survived. This also meant that the most important force Yan Kuangshan relied on was basically destroyed.
The one who was most worried about this was Mr. He, whose brows had been furrowed ever since he counted the death toll.
"City Lord, what should we do next?"
"What to do..." Yan Kuangshan thought for a while and said, "Let's listen to Qin Fan's arrangements."
Mr. He said puzzledly:
"City Lord, we previously speculated that Qin Fan's identity may be related to the Daxuan royal family. After all, this time thirteen years ago was too coincidental.
But judging from Mo Haolin's reaction, including Qin Fan's indifferent attitude towards him, we may have gone astray and all this is just a coincidence!"
"So?" Yan Kuangshan's expression was very calm.
Mr. He took a deep breath and said:
"So we don't even know what's going on with Qin Fan. If we just bet everything on it, the risk would be too great.
At present, it seems that Qin Fan completely wants to imitate the Dao Realm and the Buddha Realm and directly split the Xuanyang Realm, which also means that your identity will change from a city lord of a region to a rebel!"
"You are overthinking. Today's Daxuan Dynasty will not give this label to anyone easily. The city lords in the Taoist realm and the Buddhist land, and even the two state pastors, still respect Daxuan as their master.
So we can just continue as before, besides Xuanyang Territory has long been out of Daxuan's control, right?"
Yan Kuangshan replied calmly.
But looking at the worried Mr. He, he still added.
"For now, only Qin Fan can help me solve that problem. After all, I can't hide my breakthrough to the Grand Master. If I really want to be transferred to the center of the imperial city, my end will definitely not be good.
Especially those officials who kicked me out will not be as gentle as before, just because I am now a grand master."
Yan Kuangshan frowned when he thought of the intrigue.
"Perhaps Your Majesty..." Mr. He just spoke and rejected this speculation. Yan Kuangshan cultivates the inheritance of the Buddhist lineage, which also means that its foundation is not clear.
Coupled with Yan Kuangshan's experience over the years, Emperor Ruoxuan also regarded Yan Kuangshan as a loyal minister and wanted to keep him, even at the cost of confronting those academics.
It can only be said that Emperor Xuan was a little too naive.
Seeing Mr. He deep in thought, Yan Kuangshan did not tell Qin Fan that he was already hostile to Sima Kongming.
What he has not told the other party is that if he had made another choice, it is very likely that he, the lord of the Xuanyang Giant City, would have been forcibly sacrificed in the battle with the Giant Ape King.
From the moment Qin Fan showed his fangs, the entire Xuanyang Region was already named Qin.
However, for Yan Kuangshan, there was no unwillingness in his heart. He had long been disappointed with the imperial court, so he just left himself in the position of the city lord who was almost certain to die.
Some time ago, he asked Mo Yunlan to mess around again, even completely ignoring himself, and directly made the Xuanyang Domain a chessboard for endless battles.
Unlike Gongsun Xin who bet all his family's glory on Qin Fan, Yan Kuangshan just wants to live. One side keeps causing trouble for him, while the other side helps him solve the trouble.
The choice is not difficult.
"Don't think too much, everything is over for now." Yan Kuangshan patted Mr. He on the shoulder, and then let out his heroic laughter.
"For the time being..." Mr. He sighed and stopped dwelling on the matter.
Facing the rising sun, Xuanyang Guards are heading towards their destination, but the life they are about to face may not be as beautiful as they imagined.
...
Several casual cultivators left, taking with them the allocated gold and silver. They looked very satisfied, and they were ready to publicize it in the world.
As for the other Jianghu people, they all stayed because of Qin Fan's promise, Hua Buqun's persuasion, and the almost perfect conditions, which they simply could not refuse.
None of the players left, whether they were from Wuyou Villa or from other camps.
The members of the Dark Alliance are also staying where they are, but if you observe carefully, you will find that there are a few people missing from several forces for no apparent reason.
But no one took the initiative to mention it, as if they were sacrificed in the previous battle with the ferocious beast.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were looking at Qin Fan, who was standing on the edge of the cliff, and their eyes also contained different complex emotions.
"Master." Luo Xinghun, who had been busy all night, rubbed his brows tiredly and walked slowly behind Qin Fan.
"Has the problem of loot been solved?" Qin Fan asked.
Luo Xinghun nodded and shook his head:
"I just estimated the approximate value, and then delivered a large amount of gold and silver transported by that caravan to the Red Robe Army and Xuanyang Guards, as well as some of the animal meat that was not easy to store, and all of it was taken out and consumed last night.
But after all, there are millions of beast corpses, and it will take at least some time to strip out the valuable materials.
However, the leader of that caravan has contacted members of the Chamber of Commerce in the entire Xuanyang Region to come to help, and what we have to do now is to try to preserve every beast corpse as well as possible."
"As long as the essence and blood in it does not dry up, the corpse will not rot so quickly, but this is also a relatively tedious task. Let the people in the world come to help later.
It can be regarded as allowing them to adapt in advance.”
Qin Fan replied.
Luo Xinghun was a little confused, but with Feng Mo's explanation, he roughly understood Qin Fan's thoughts.
"How should I calculate this contribution point... After all, this is the first mission." Luo Xinghun scratched the back of his head worriedly.
Qin Fan said calmly: "Leave professional matters to professionals. You can ask 'Yu', or directly ask the leader of the caravan to give you advice.
The other party is ‘Yu’’s confidant and can be regarded as half of his own.
From now on, leave this matter to Lin Yi, the Dark Alliance still needs you to keep an eye on it."
"Lin Yi?" Luo Xinghun was a little surprised, and then he saw Lin Yi walking forward without saying a word. He had been leading a few casual cultivators all night to calculate the spoils they deserved.
It turned out that the few casual cultivators didn't understand anything, so they listened in confusion all night.
Finally, after learning that most people in the world would take this opportunity to exchange the gold and silver they received into contribution points, Lin Yi didn't even know what he had done last night.
Probably the only effect was that he became familiar with those uncles who had a good reputation among casual cultivators.
"I will ask Xia Jinyu later, junior brother, you should go about your own business first." Perhaps the previous blow at the top of Qingyuan Mountain was too severe, and Lin Yi deliberately wanted to show his worth.
Luo Xinghun nodded, and then saw Gongsun Xin and Gu Tong standing a hundred meters away, and quickly waved to them.
"Master!" The two of them walked up to Qin Fan and bowed in unison.
Qin Fan nodded and looked at Bronze first.
"Some of the people below will stay, and some of them who are trustworthy will be led by you. I don't want to hear about the families, gangs, clans, and villages.
The future is only..."
Qin Fan suddenly remembered that he had asked Xia Jinyu and Luo Xinghun to think of a suitable name, so he turned his attention to Luo Xinghun.
Luo Xinghun understood and said:
"Wangyou Ghost City, according to Xia Jinyu's idea, there are many jurisdictions in the ghost city, and power is distributed to each person for their own duties. Heaven controls death, earth governs life, Yanshi is the craftsman, and the master controls the merchants. If anyone disobeys, the ghost master
Handle rewards and punishments."
After saying this, Luo Xinghun bowed deeply to Qin Fan. It was obvious that only Qin Fan could hold the position of Ghost Lord.
Gongsun Xin, who had always seemed to be deliberately ignored, began to look excited. This was the ambition he wanted to see.
At the same time, from these few words, he also noticed that the cooperation between the fourth shopkeeper of Tongtian Chamber of Commerce and Qin Fan was very close.
If the Ghost Lord is Qin Fan, the master who controls the merchants can only be the Fourth Master Xia.
However, there are still three positions that can be competed for, Tian, Di, and Yanshi.
As the last Yanshi, he thought he had little hope, and Gongshu Lian's words would be more suitable. But with the support of the entire Gongsun family, he should be able to grab a seat between heaven and earth.
Before Qin Fan could speak, Gongsun Xin had already started to think astray.
Qin Fan raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a strange expression:
"You said this was his idea?"
Luo Xinghun glanced at Gongsun Xin inadvertently, and the meaning was already obvious.
"Ahem." Qin Fan coughed dryly, seemingly unnaturally skipping the topic, and then took out a pamphlet from his arms and handed it to Gu Tong.
"With your mental strength, you should be able to practice the low-level spiritual magic "Soul Transfer Technique". It is not difficult to get started with this technique, especially the hypnosis skills are easier to master.
So you should understand what I mean."
Bronze took the secret book solemnly and said with a serious expression:
"My subordinates promise that there will only be a Wangyou ghost market in the future!"
Qin Fan was reassured about Boutong. Although he was not an outstanding talent, his behavior was very steady.
For example, in some big forces, these are indispensable middle-level cadres, and the quality that Qin Fan values of Bronze most is loyalty.
In fact, Qin Fan was also puzzled as to why Gu Tong was so firm in his loyalty to him, especially since he had the image of a sickly young man who could easily die in one breath.
He didn't quite know that before he took control of the Iron Sword Sect, Gu Tong, as a down-to-earth and hard-working old scalper, had been tricked countless times by his own senior management.
It is because he is accustomed to doing things quietly and not fighting or grabbing, so when it comes to fighting, he will be placed in the front, and he will not get the reward he deserves after the battle.
His reticence does not mean that he is stupid, but he understands that his power cannot change the current situation of the Iron Sword Sect, let alone the leader of the Iron Sword Sect at that time.
Until Qin Fan appeared, he neatly eliminated several high-level officials, and immediately fell in love with Gu Tong, allowing him to assume the position of the leader of the sect.
All choices seemed random, but for Bronze, it was a huge turning point in his life. From that day on, he silently vowed to be loyal to that man forever.
"I can rest assured when you do your work." Qin Fan gave Gu Tong an encouraging look, and then finally looked at Gongsun Xin, but his tone was much more polite.
"Clan Chief Gongsun, this matter also requires the assistance of your Gongsun family. I'm sorry to trouble you."
"No trouble, no trouble." Gongsun Xin said quickly.
Qin Fan nodded:
"In that case, let's do it as soon as possible. When the news of the end of the decisive battle spreads, I'm afraid those behind the scenes will try their best to contact these gloves as soon as possible.
Cutting it off quickly can also save you trouble in advance."
Gu Tong and Gongsun Xin bowed their hands and left together.
When the two figures disappeared completely, Luo Xinghun said with some confusion: "Master, is your attitude towards Gongsun Xin a little too cold?"
Before Qin Fan could answer, a figure appeared beside Luo Xinghun.
"Xiao Luo, this is the most correct thing for the village owner to do. After all, there are many types of surrender. Now we need to suppress Gongsun Xin's temper. He is too impatient, and this will be bad."
Zhang Guyen dragged his stupid son with one hand and said.
After thinking for a while, he added another sentence.
"Gongsun Xin has the advantage of being independent, but he still doesn't know how to be a qualified subordinate."
Luo Xinghun nodded as if he understood. Just when he was about to talk in detail about Wangyou Ghost Market, a commotion suddenly broke out below the cliff.
I saw that the members of the Dark Alliance and those in the world consciously stood on the outside, completely separated from the chaotic group in the middle.
"This is?"
Qin Fan raised his eyebrows and said: "It has finally begun. Let them resolve the conflicts among the visitors from outside the world by themselves."
