Siheyuan: I have a multi-dimensional chat group!

Given the formidable martial prowess of the Mighty Warriors, with just a little training, they could become a powerful army!

Moreover, Weiyong Territory is located in a remote area, but it is not short of money and food, and has ample time to train its troops into a well-rounded force, making them far more powerful than the hundreds of thousands of ragtag soldiers it previously commanded.

As a result, all those ambitious individuals present were determined to win over Weiyong!

……

Meanwhile, in the back office of the Po Jun City government, the city's prefect was receiving an uninvited guest.

"Prefect, you'd better think this through carefully. This is an opportunity you can't miss!" the uninvited guest said slowly. "If you surrender to the court, His Majesty will surely reward you handsomely. He might even promote you to the rank of Commander-in-Chief of the Mighty Army!"

This uninvited guest turned out to be an envoy sent by the court of the Great Chu Dynasty.

The prefect of Pojun City was very tempted, but after his expression changed several times, he still said dejectedly, "To be honest, it would be best if we could return to the rule of the Great Chu. I would be quite happy to do so!"

The imperial envoy's face lit up with joy, thinking that his purpose was about to be achieved.

"But……"

Upon hearing the words "I'm afraid," the royal envoy's smile froze, and a sense of foreboding washed over him.

"It's not that I'm cowardly, it's just that the Lord of Weiyong Territory is too terrifying!" the prefect said with a bitter smile. "The court wants me to join them, and my officials and yamen runners can also serve them, but the court must get rid of that Lord of Weiyong Territory, otherwise I still have to think about my family!"

How dare you say you're not a coward?

The imperial envoy was so frustrated he almost vomited blood, but he couldn't vent his anger directly. He could only say with a stiff face, "The imperial court has indeed given this matter some consideration, and we will not disappoint the prefect!"

"Then I'll wait for good news!" The Prefect of Pojun City seized the opportunity to climb up the ladder. "I'm sorry to make you laugh, but the previous Prefect of Pojun City and his family died too tragically, so I dare not take any risks!"

The imperial envoy had nothing to say. The other party had already made their point to this extent. If the court wanted him to risk surrendering without any evidence, it would be impossible.

If the court wants people to surrender with generous funds and strong capabilities, it must first eliminate the biggest and most significant hidden danger for them!

The previous governor of Pojun City was bribed by some force, and five years ago he directly raised the banner of rebellion, breaking away from the jurisdiction of the Lord of Weiyong Territory. At that time, he caused quite a stir.

Then there is no more then.

The following day, the bodies of his entire family, including himself, were hung in Pojun City for three whole days.

The so-called uprising had a negligible impact on Pojun City, barely causing any significant disturbance; it merely became a topic of conversation among the people.

All those who colluded with the governor of Pojun City, though not killed, were all sent to labor camps according to the severity of their crimes.

For those involved in the uprising, the labor camps were no good place!

With the lessons of the past still fresh in mind, the current governor of Pojun City, though somewhat tempted, is not foolish enough to recklessly risk his own life.

Although the Lord of Weiyong Territory does not directly govern the local area, his power and influence are so great that a mere governor of Pojun City cannot possibly contend with him.

Chapter 849, The Avengers' Concentration Camp! (Please subscribe!)

This is a world where humans, demons, and monsters coexist, and also a world where extraordinary powers manifest themselves.

The governor of Pojun City knew that the lord of Weiyong Territory was a powerful sorcerer, and it would be extremely difficult to subdue him. Over the years, there had been many who wanted to take advantage of him!

As Weiyong Territory developed increasingly well, it became a desirable place among the border prefectures and counties, attracting many ambitious individuals who wanted to control it as their base of power.

But what was the final result?

As far as the Prefect of Pojun City knew, several ambitious groups he knew all died quietly, their remains never found.

He didn't want to follow in that footsteps. He was living a good life, and there was no way he would risk his life for the court.

Clearly, the imperial envoy was aware of this and was not overly displeased, which is only human nature.

As the situation in the Great Chu Dynasty becomes increasingly turbulent, the current imperial envoys are not very confident.

He himself had absolutely no confidence that the imperial court would be willing to expend a great deal of effort to deal with the master of Weiyong Territory.

After the prefect saw the imperial envoy off, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He had previously valued orthodoxy highly and was overjoyed at the arrival of the imperial envoy.

However, the governor of Pojun City felt somewhat lost and uneasy.

He could tell at a glance whether the imperial envoy was lying or not.

My initial high spirits were suddenly dampened, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over them, temporarily extinguishing any other thoughts.

As the situation in the Great Chu Dynasty became increasingly turbulent, the prestige of the court also declined rapidly, making it impossible to get something for nothing.

If the imperial court cannot take action to eliminate the ruler of Weiyong County, the prefect of Pojun City does not feel the need to pledge allegiance, even though he values ​​legitimacy highly.

……

Outside the city of Pojun, there is a temple complex consisting of dozens of halls, which is quite large and well-decorated.

At this moment, in a side hall of the temple, several distinguished men were having a cordial conversation with the abbot and elders.

"Hmph, how can we humans submit to demons?" one of the men said angrily. "No matter how skilled that person is at governing the area, he can't hide the fact that he is a demon!"

“That’s right!” His companion, a composed man with gray hair and an aura as deep as an abyss, followed up, “It is our duty to exorcise demons and monsters. The abbot and elders would not want to be ruled by demons forever, would they?”

"Amitabha, you jest, benefactor!" The abbot clasped his hands together, shook his head, and said slowly, "Although we are not entirely willing, the situation is beyond our control!"

"Master, you're mistaken!" The first one to speak exuded an astonishing aura. With just a gentle release, he stirred up gusts of wind in the tightly closed room. "As long as the border cultivators join forces with us, how can we fail to defeat that monster?"

"Since you are so confident, why don't you go and test the waters first?" Before the abbot could speak, the temple elder next to him said unhappily, "We border cultivators will be watching closely!"

"Let's give it a try!" The other one was quite impatient and sneered, "I just hope that after we try it, the abbot won't be a coward!"

"Amitabha, you jest, benefactor!" The abbot maintained his kind and gentle demeanor, speaking calmly and unhurriedly, "This humble monk awaits your good news!"

Upon seeing this, the distinguished men had no choice but to rise and take their leave.

Each of them remained expressionless, as if they hadn't sensed the abbot's silent refusal at all.

"Abbot, those men are all subordinates of King Liang who failed in the Dragon Contest. I'm afraid King Liang has also arrived in Weiyong Territory!" The abbot next to him said with a worried expression. "The moment they arrived, they wanted to join forces with the border cultivators to target that person. Their ambitions are truly considerable!"

"Amitabha, let's just observe and see what happens!" the abbot said calmly, his expression unchanged.

……

Weiyong Territory, nominally belonging to the Great Chu Dynasty, suddenly became a coveted prize in the eyes of many ambitious individuals as the situation stabilized, the people lived in peace and prosperity, commerce flourished, and wealth increased.

These ambitious individuals are eager to bring it under their control immediately, making it a powerful asset to their burgeoning ambitions.

A defeated rebel leader, a regional warlord, the Chu royal family unwilling to accept their waning power, and a prince who failed to secure the crown prince position and was banished...

Huh, why does it feel like my Mighty Territory has become a concentration camp for trash and losers?

Xiao Shan, the lord of Weiyong Territory, was fully aware of this situation, but he had no intention of intervening or taking the initiative to intervene.

Xiaoshan wanted these ambitious people to step forward and see if their abilities matched their lofty ambitions.

Ten years is enough time for him to instill rules and regulations into every inch of Weiyong territory.

He only cares about how the rules are followed. As for what his subordinates, generals, or the extraordinary people he has gathered, or the thoughts of Buddhist, Taoist, or unorthodox practitioners, does it matter?

Not important at all!

He holds the most important law enforcement discretion. In this world where magic works, might makes right, and he will punish anyone who doesn't follow the rules!

There are strict, almost harsh, rules that require subordinates or monsters to follow them obediently until they have the power to challenge his authority.

This simple and direct management style has created the miracle of Weiyongling's rapid rise in just ten years.

Economically, it is mainly based on commerce and trade. With its own special products, a large amount of grain and mineral processing industry, as well as the convenience of connecting with the Demon Realm, Weiyong Territory has easily become the economic and trade center of the surrounding area.

In agriculture, Wei Yong's territory is vast and sparsely populated. With the help of a large number of extremely strong demons, the cultivated area has reached an astonishing level.

At the same time, Xiaoshan, the ultimate boss, has the power to control everything, ensuring bumper harvests every year with more grain than can be eaten. It must be processed and sold in large quantities to avoid waste.

In animal husbandry, with the help of demons, development is even more rapid.

Besides half of the livestock that had to be handed over and distributed to the monsters under Xiao Shan's command, the remaining half was enough to ensure that the people's families had enough meat, and could also be sold in large quantities for arbitrage.

Military education and culture are integrated. Weiyong has completed the popularization of cultural education and military education. However, it has been too short a time to see much effect yet.

As time goes on, when a steady stream of talented individuals emerges, the mighty general will widen the gap between the region and the heartland of the Great Chu.

Moreover, this gap will widen over time!

Under Xiaoshan's strong demands and strict constraints, medical and health care and infrastructure construction have reached the limit of what is currently possible.

This is why Xiaoshan didn't want to trouble everyone in the group; otherwise, with the help of modern industrial products, Weiyongling's development could have reached an even higher level.

Chapter 850, Xiaoshan Under Control! (Please Subscribe!)

Since Xiao Shan took over Weiyong Territory, the environment here has been very peaceful, and the public security is exceptionally good.

There was none of the chaos in the heart of the Great Chu, nor the rampant demons and monsters that followed the collapse of order.

With deliberate guidance, many people from neighboring prefectures and counties have come to settle down and live here.

In just ten years, the population of Wei Yong Territory has increased by more than four million.

Although it can't compare to the tens of millions of people in a single province in the heart of the Great Chu, it's still quite impressive.

With a sufficient population and able-bodied young labor force, coupled with the strong support of the demons, the development momentum of the entire Weiyong Territory was able to rise steadily.

Ten years of accumulation have suddenly made it a battleground for ambitious individuals from all walks of life.

Although Xiao Shan did not actively promote martial arts, the dozens of complete martial arts techniques he casually disseminated from group files, along with his covert constraints and planning, still created a flourishing martial arts atmosphere in the Weiyong Territory.

Xiao Shan didn't even need to personally intervene to suppress it; the local government offices and military forces in various towns and cities would consciously restrain and suppress the expansion of martial arts schools and Jianghu forces.

Even so, after ten years of development and accumulation, the strength of Weiyongling in the martial arts world has still rapidly surpassed that of the Great Chu, and as time goes by, the gap is likely to widen further.

It is no exaggeration to say that the martial artists who have mastered the skills of Weiyong are capable of establishing their own sects in the Great Chu region.

Xiao Shan was exceptionally generous, and the martial arts he casually passed on were all top-tier techniques that pointed directly to the innate level and even vaguely touched upon the grandmaster level.

The flourishing martial spirit and the strength of the martial artists even served as a check on the cultivators of the Mighty Territory.

Although Xiaoshan did not deliberately suppress it, the Buddhist, Taoist, and unorthodox cultivators in Weiyong Territory were not as well-established as those in the Great Chu mainland. They were in a very difficult situation due to the explosive development of martial arts.

Of course, it is still much better than the turbulent interior of the Great Chu.

Xiao Shan had no intention of trying to win over the Buddhist, Taoist, and other unorthodox cultivators. As long as they followed his rules and handled the tasks assigned to them properly, he didn't bother to care about their true intentions.

As long as your fist is big and hard enough, all your petty schemes and troubles are nothing.

Unless the Buddhist, Taoist, and unorthodox cultivators who are recruited are willing to risk their lives, the problem is that there are very few human cultivators with such generosity!

In addition, some cultivators were unwilling to be subordinate to demons, or rather, they were not used to being restrained. They were often weakened in various activities, which once made the human cultivation forces in the Weiyong Territory somewhat sluggish.

Fortunately, Xiao Shan did not deliberately suppress his actions. When the group of human cultivators realized what was happening and followed the rules, they found that life was not as difficult as they had imagined.

As long as they act in accordance with the rules, they can even take advantage of the opportunity for the great development of Weiyong to carry forward their own lineage and possibly even surpass some of the major cultivation sects and families in the Great Chu.

This realization has led to a gradual calming down of cultivation forces that had previously remained outside the management system of Weiyong Territory, and they have begun to actively integrate into it in recent years.

Actually, they were overthinking it. If it weren't for the various awkward situations that caused the conflicts, Xiao Shan would have even wanted to help the human cultivators under his jurisdiction to grow stronger.

Because he wanted to see what the cultivation methods of humans in this world were like!

However, before they had suffered enough, the human cultivators of Weiyong Territory were not very willing to submit to Xiaoshan, so an initial period of adjustment was essential.

By the time the cultivators from various factions in Weiyong Territory reacted and voluntarily followed Xiaoshan's rules, the time was far too short.

Otherwise, Xiaoshan really wanted to set up a few cultivation schools to see if it was possible to gradually popularize cultivation.

……

The fact that Weiyong Territory is developing well and has not suffered from war or man-made disasters will naturally attract the covetous eyes of petty people.

Don't assume that Xiaoshan is unaware of the skilled individuals hidden among the numerous merchants traveling to and from the area.

These guys probably still think their opponents are human experts, unaware that their every move is completely exposed to certain spirits with special talents.

To a spirit with special talents, it is actually quite easy to distinguish whether someone has ulterior motives.

Even if a highly skilled martial artist tries to conceal their aura, they will still be as conspicuous as a firefly in the dark in the eyes of the monitoring spirits.

It is more troublesome to monitor them, but that's all.

Xiao Shan's Azure Feather Demon King has many bird-like spirits under his command, and under their surveillance, ordinary cultivators have nowhere to hide.

Although the specific plans of those ambitious individuals in Pojun City were unknown, they were all exposed shortly after arriving in the city.

If it were any other monster in charge, they certainly wouldn't let these treacherous fellows get away with it. They would either send their capable subordinates or personally take action to resolve the trouble.

The territorial instincts of monsters are terrifyingly strong!
