Chongming Xianzong

Chapter 79 Peace Talk
It is true that most evil cultivators are heartless and insane. They are accustomed to doing evil things without any conscience, and it is difficult for them to have any real feelings for their companions whom they have known for many years. All of this is also true.

But evil cultivators are also human beings, and since they are human beings, they have their own circles.

Regardless of who killed the six evildoers of the Bai family, it is an indisputable fact that Dai Yuanjiang hung the heads of the evil cultivators who did his dirty work at the gate of his own market, causing Linghe Market to be remembered by the nearby evil cultivators.

It is true that there will definitely not be any atmosphere of helping each other, being humble and giving in to each other in this evil cultivation circle.

However, it was normal for them to feel a sense of solidarity towards the Linghe market when they saw the six heads hung up and exposed to the wind and sun.

However, Kang Dabao asked the two brothers Yuan Jin and Jiang Qing to act out this drama not only to prevent the harmonious cooperation between Dai Yuanjiang and ordinary evil cultivators, but that was only secondary.

As long as the old man Dai Yuanjiang is willing to spend enough spirit stones, there are many desperate people in this world who are indifferent to life and death, and this trick cannot scare them.

As soon as the incident at Jingguan happened, Master Kang never thought that he could restore the image of Chongming Market in the eyes of outsiders.

Moreover, with Dai Yuanjiang's instigation, the Jingguan incident had fermented into a situation where three people could become a tiger in a very short period of time.

How could the head of the Kang family have the ability to quell this controversy?

Therefore, Kang Dabao's goal from the very beginning was to ruin the reputation of Linghe Market.

Of course he knew that just based on what those troublemakers from the Bai family had said crying at the gate of Linghe Market, they would not be able to bring down this long-established market that had been in business for many years.

Not to mention that it was indeed just the evil cultivator's one-sided statement, even if Yuan Jin took out the letters between the two parties.

Dai Yuanjiang would just stiffen his neck and say that it was false evidence fabricated by the evil cultivator to frame him, and he would not admit a single word. Kang Dabao also never thought that he would admit it.

But Master Kang didn't care whether he admitted it or not. As long as the fact that Dai Yuanjiang colluded with the evil cultivators was heard by the cultivators watching in Linghe Market, Master Kang's goal would be achieved.

Of course, even if they heard it, they might not believe it completely in their hearts.

But once the seeds of doubt are planted, how many people would be brave enough to go to a market where even the mayor is connected to evil practitioners?
What is the saying that the clear will be clear and the turbid will be turbid. Nonsense, if the yellow mud gets into the crotch, it is shit anyway!
Kang Dabao couldn't think of what means, or how much effort and resources he would have to spend, to dilute the impact of Dai Yuanjiang's dirty move.

Anyway, it is definitely not enough to just put the heads of the six real murderers of the Bai family at the entrance of the market. This thing can't give much sense of security to the monks who come here to trade.

They were smart enough to foresee that as long as the secret war between the two families was not over, under the temptation of Dai Yuanjiang's spiritual stones, one poor ghost after another who came to Chongming Market would become trophies and have their heads chopped off by the endless stream of evil cultivators, helping the latter to successfully receive the rewards they deserved for their hard work.

In this way, it would be impossible to kill all the evil cultivators just by relying on the Chongming Market.

Kang Dabao had been in the lower class for many years and could sense what the independent cultivators were worried about, so he decided to drag Linghe Market into the situation as well.

In this way, the reputation of Chongming Market will naturally be elevated.

The phrase "pulling him down the drain" might not be enough to describe it, because what was in Dai Yuanjiang's crotch was not mud at all! It was shit!

So what if it was true that there were evil cultivators harming people in Chongming Market? But the city lieutenant of Linghe Market was also entangled with the evil cultivators to harm people! Isn't that even more terrifying? !

Now Kangdabao has achieved its goal.
If the monks nearby had a choice and were more cautious, they would definitely not go to these two markets.

But if you have no choice but to make a living nearby, and both markets have terrible reputations, but one sells things cheaper and the other sells things more expensively, which one would you go to?

It needs to be emphasized again that the independent cultivators are all smart and know how to vote with their feet.

Half a year had passed since the six heads of the Bai family were hung on the gate of Linghe Market.

Business at Chongming Market is still not very good, but fortunately, popularity has recovered visibly. I believe it is only a matter of time before business returns to the level it was at the beginning of its opening, or even to a higher level.

Kang Dabao did not allow the patrol team that Kuai Wu had spent a lot of effort to form to be completely disbanded.

They just eliminated some unqualified people and kept only about 20 people. They also brought Jiang Qing to the market and made him the temporary captain of the team.

Jiang Qing divided the personnel into groups and patrolled the vicinity of the market as usual. Every three to five days, they would bring back the heads of the evil cultivators and hang them high on the gate of the market.

As a result, the number of evil practitioners near Chongming Market has really decreased a lot. After the atmosphere has been cleared up, the uneasiness of people who come to the market to trade has also eased a lot.

Also because Jiang Qing's flying sword was too sharp, the evil cultivators all gave up their new hunting ground outside Chongming Market and returned to their familiar place, Linghe Market.

Perhaps because they were angry, their methods and frequency were even more severe than before.

Therefore, compared with Chongming Market, the business of Linghe Market has been much bleak in recent days. The monks who make a living in Linghe Market have finally tasted the panic of the people.

Dai Yuanjiang has been having a very difficult time these days. As for rectifying the work style, Chongming Market can do it, but Linghe Market cannot.

Originally, the families in Chongming Market were just doing their small businesses peacefully and didn't care about the evil practitioners harming people at all.

Or it could be said that there are few markets or towns in the world that would manage this.

There are even many market lieutenants like Dai Yuanjiang who collude with evil cultivators and become a den of snakes and rats.

But the six evildoers of your Bai family are not here for wealth, this is a slap in the face of Chongming Market!
They had to do something to retaliate, and although the evil cultivators hated them, they thought that it was understandable for them to do so. The reason why these evil cultivators were so "reasonable" was because Chongming Market was also a legitimate market that had sought business permits from the Yue Family in Hancheng and had been registered.

If it was an ordinary grass market built by a few small forces, it would have offended the evil cultivators so much. They would have colluded with each other long ago, broke the magic circle, entered to slaughter people and make some profits.

As for directly harming that annoying patrol team, why not bite the bullet first?
If the evil cultivators were to engage in such a fierce battle, there would certainly be a lot of casualties on our side.

But this is not like attacking the market, where people can bear greater losses in order to make a lot of money.

A fierce battle with tough guys like the patrol team may not result in much capture.

Even if you win, if you are lucky, you can still survive safely; if you are unlucky, you may be seriously injured and your magic weapon may be destroyed.

Then at this time, the companions around you who have also suffered heavy losses will immediately come to "care about" you.

Not to mention, a group of rabble gathered together and faced off against a patrol team composed of elites selected by each family. They might not be able to win.

Due to the above situation, there is no one among the evil cultivators nearby who has such prestige and can gather everyone together to do such a difficult task.

"The master himself fought to the death and broke his bones, so that you who came later could eat the meat and take advantage of it, right?"

Given how selfish the evil cultivators are, many of them wouldn't be able to do such a selfless thing even for their own sons.

Well, anyway, most of those who go to Chongming Market to do business are poor people. They all look pitiful, and they don’t have much money anyway, so they can just stay away from them.

Everyone is just like before, going to Linghe market to make a living.

But if your Linghe market in Daiyuanjiang wants to follow the example of Chongming market and also form a patrol team to cut off the financial resources of the evil cultivators, and then you destroy the tacit understanding that has been formed between the two sides for a long time, you want to kill more evil cultivators.

There will always be some resentful evil cultivators who will not be able to stand this provocation and will come together to cause trouble for him, the acting mayor!

Although we know that Dai Yuanjiang has had a hard time recently, the merchants doing business in the market don’t care about the difficulties of you, the market commander.
No matter how big your difficulties are, the annual fee they pay to the market every year will not be reduced at all!

Business is getting worse and worse, and it seems that we are about to lose more than we earn.

These merchants became very anxious, and every day merchants in the market lined up to find Dai Yuanjiang to complain.

The latter could not come up with any practical solution, and could only prevaricate by saying something like "wait a minute, we'll have our own way after some time."

On this day, Dai Yuanjiang finally couldn't stand it anymore and called several major shareholders in Linghe Market to discuss the matter.

"Let's discuss it. Should we fight or talk?"

There were four men and one woman sitting in the hall. In addition to Dai Yuanjiang, there was also a big-butt female cultivator, a red-haired man, a yellow-faced old man, and an old cultivator in white clothes.

"The mayor wanted to ask the Bai brothers to do that before, but I didn't agree. But you guys did it anyway. Now that it's happened, why are you looking for me again?"

The old cultivator in white who spoke first said it calmly, without any sarcasm in his tone, but with a hint of questioning.

Dai Yuanjiang was about to get angry after hearing this, but then he remembered that a lot of the business in Linghe Market was coming for this person, so he suppressed his anger and winked at the big-butt female cultivator.

The latter understood immediately and said with a smile: "Master Chen Yu is right. It was indeed my concubine and I who made a mistake in the previous incident. We will apologize to the master someday. But now that things have come to this, the reputation of the market has been damaged, which is not good for all of us. It is time to cooperate sincerely and come up with a plan."

The old cultivator in white raised his eyelids and looked at the female cultivator seriously. "I never thought that this vixen, besides having a big butt, also has the ability to talk?"

"Let's fight. Among the families in Jackdaw Mountain, except for Jiang Qing who is a bit capable, the rest are just chickens and dogs. Since his family has a business permit and cannot attack the market, we should break into their mountain gate and kill everyone! Let's see if their market will still be closed!"

The black-faced old man didn't want to talk nonsense. He had been in the ninth level of Qi training for more than ten years. His cultivation was deeper than Dai Yuanjiang's, and he was very confident in his own strength.

"Let's talk. Chongming Sect was also a great sect in its early years. There's no reason not to leave some tricks for future generations. Kang Dabao was a peddler at the third level of Qi training back then. He has lived a stable life until now and raised two junior brothers to become talents. Now he has done such a big thing. I don't know how many relatives and friends behind him helped him. If it really gets out of hand, it may not be a good thing for us."

The red-haired man who was speaking was not as rough as his appearance, and he spoke in an orderly manner.

After hearing what the red-haired man said, Dai Yuanjiang also felt regretful.

"The new leader of Chongming Sect is a peddler", he had heard such jokes before. Kang Dabao had been in and out of Linghe Market so many times in recent years, why didn't they think of finding a day to kill Kang Dabao directly? !
At this moment, some people wanted to fight, some wanted to talk, and they all had something to say, which made Dai Yuanjiang at a loss for a moment.

In other words, he no longer wanted to bear the risk of making this decision alone.

The incident with the Bai family's leaders really made him embarrassed. His prestige was greatly reduced, which was not worth the loss.

The big-butt widow beside him was just a plaything called in to lighten the atmosphere. Dai Yuanjiang would not ask for her opinion, so he turned his gaze to Master Chen Yudan.

"Let's talk first. If the negotiation fails, we can fight." The old cultivator in white said calmly.
