The city walls of Great Yan City were not particularly tall. One could even say that they were very short. They were about the same height as the walls of the houses of the rich families.

This was because the future of Great Yan City was definitely not limited to this scale. If they were to build up the majestic city walls, how would they expand Great Yan City in the future?

Would they have to tear down the towering city walls that they had spent so much effort to build?

That would be a waste of time, effort, and resources.

This led to some of the larger demonic beasts walking within Great Yan City.

The refugees who had come from afar could not help but see them.

“Demon… demonic beasts! In the city! There are demonic beasts!”

A tall person seemed to have seen something terrifying and shouted in fear.

This sentence was like a huge rock falling into a pond.

The refugees looked up and saw half of a demonic beast’s body!

That terrifyingly huge demonic beast’s body made the ordinary refugees’ hair stand on end!

Fear arose spontaneously!

“It’s a demonic beast! It really is a demonic beast! What else could such a huge monster be if not a demonic beast? Could it be that all the people in Great Yan City have been eaten by demonic beasts?”

“Hiss! That… that demonic beast won’t run out and eat us too, right?”

“What… What a huge demonic beast! Its body size is as big as a house!”

“Sob sob sob! Mother! I don’t want to be eaten by a demonic beast!”

“Look! Over there! There’s a demonic beast over there too, and it’s bigger than this one!”

“No, it can’t be? Is this a demonic beast’s nest?”

“…”

The group of refugees immediately panicked. Their voices were filled with fear, and they were even trembling.

Suddenly, among the crowd of refugees, there were a few people who were dressed and had a special temperament.

Then, they hurriedly said, “Sir! There are demonic beasts here! What should we do?”

These people were arranged by Fu Shuangni to sneak into the refugees.

These people were Immortal cultivators, although their cultivations were not high.

However, among the ordinary refugees, evenif they were first level Qi Refinement stage cultivators, they were all big shots in the eyes of the refugees!

That was exactly the case. A few people who were evil cultivators easily became the leaders of these 10,000 people.

They also brought a large amount of food with them. They distributed it to these refugees.

Before the refugees rushed to Great Yan City, they would not starve to death on the way.

They did all kinds of things, and these people who were Human Traitors had a lot of say in the group of refugees.

These refugees all called them ‘Lord’ and treated them with extraordinary respect.

They did not dare to disobey.

“Everyone!” A second level Qi Refinement cultivator summoned the spiritual energy in his body, and his voice became very loud as he faced all the panicked refugees. He shouted, “Everyone, there’s no need to panic! There’s no need to be afraid! This place is Great Yan City in Savage Mountain. The demonic beasts in Great Yan City aren’t what you think they are!”

“Great Yan City is a special city that advocates harmonious coexistence between humans and beasts. The demonic beasts in it do not eat humans! Moreover, tens of thousands of people like you live in Great Yan City. They have been living in harmony with the demonic beasts until now!”

“The City Lord of Great Yan City has already built a large number of houses for you to live in. She has also prepared sufficient food and warm clothes for you.”

“Great Yan City will not harm you, and we will not harm you. There is absolutely no need for that!”

“The few of us will lead by example and be the first to enter Great Yan City!”

“Those who are willing to follow me can enter with us!”

“There is no need to be afraid! There is no need to panic!”

After saying these words, the second level Qi Refinement cultivator took the initiative to walk at the front. A few other people also followed closely behind.

Under the gazes of the refugees, who were either shocked, fearful, or in disbelief, a few people entered Great Yan City.

Suddenly, a burly and vigorous man also walked out from the crowd of refugees, he gritted his teeth and said, “Why are you all being so suspicious for?! Our benefactors have helped us for so long, given us so much food, and even treated our diseases.”

“Now, is there no one who trusts them? Do they think that our benefactors have pushed us into the pit of fire? Damn you! Those who have such thoughts should take a piss and look in the mirror to see what kind of person they are!”

“You are spitting in the face of their kindness and generosity. They are our benefactors, and they are Immortal cultivators!”

He hurriedly followed them and entered Great Yan City together.

Soon, from the crowd, there were sporadic sounds, and then they followed.

The remaining group of refugees looked at each other!

Finally, their herd mentality worked, temporarily covering the fear of demonic beasts that surfaced in their hearts.

They gathered their courage and followed.

A group of people entered Great Yan City.

They did not know.

The few people who spoke and took the initiative to step out were all prepared by Fu Shuangni. Fu Shuangni had already expected these refugees and did not dare to step into Great Yan City where the demonic beasts were.

She had already prepared a simple trick to lure the refugees in.

The first step was successful!

[The refugees who entered Great Yan City were even more shocked. However, after being comforted by the people and the demonic beasts, they did not do anything to hurt them. In addition, they did see that there were civilians living in Great Yan City. These civilians were not attacked by the demonic beasts. Only then did they finally believe a little that the demonic beasts in Great Yan City would not hurt people.]

[Age 32, after three years, Great Yan City has absorbed more than 200,000 refugees. The large number of refugees makes you feel a little pressured.]

[However, everything is still under control.]

[The refugees who have just joined Great Yan City have gradually integrated into Great Yan City, and they have a sense of belonging to Great Yan City.]

[Age 35, the scale of Great Yan City has continued to expand. The area of crops planted has become even larger, and the scale of livestock has also increased by many times. Spirit stones, gold, and silver have disappeared like flowing water.]

[However, this has also brought a huge amount of labor to Great Yan City, allowing Great Yan City to develop faster and faster.]

[Age 36, the number of half-demons in Great Yan City has already reached hundreds!]

[There are 230,000 normal humans in Great Yan City!]

[There are also over 7,000 demonic beasts in Great Yan City.]

[Age 37, you have received news that the Princess of the Great Wei Dynasty, who has left Maple City for many years, and the daughter of the Qin Clan head, Qin Jiao, have appeared in Maple City once again!]

[…]

After hearing this news, Fu Shuangni once again felt that it was quite troublesome. The recent actions of Great Yan City had to be a little more low-key.

This time, she had indeed planted a large number of people in Maple City, Ji Hai City, and a dozen or so counties to enter the bureaucracy.

Furthermore, there were many people who had climbed up to quite a high position over these 20 to 30 years.

In that land, they had some say.

The problem was that the power of these people combined was not as good as a single order from the Princess of Great Wei.

So…

In order to not attract the attention of the Princess of Great Wei, Great Yan City had to keep a low profile!

…

At the same time.

Maple City.

“It’s been more than ten years.” Qin Jiao, who was currently at the fourth level of the Foundation Establishment stage, looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar Maple City and could not help but sigh, “I’ve come back successfully this time.”

At this point, Qin Jiao looked at Chen Qianxue and asked, “By the way, have those remnants of the previous dynasty started to make trouble yet?”

“I remember that if I’m not wrong, they should be making trouble now, right?”

Chen Qianxue shook her head. “They don’t have the chance to make trouble anymore.”

She continued, “I asked Father to keep a close eye on everyone on the list. Now, we just need to wait for a suitable opportunity to catch all those people in one fell swoop!”

Qin Jiao immediately understood.

That’s right.

The last time they simulated Immortal cultivation, they were stirred up by the remnants of the previous dynasty because the people of the Great Wei Dynasty were in dire straits.

It was because they did not know that the number of remnants of the previous dynasty was so high that it was terrifying.

However, with the experience from last time, it was much easier this time.

Before those remnants of the previous dynasty wanted to make a move to disrupt the situation of the entire dynasty, they had the ability to snuff out the other party’s thoughts in an instant!

This was perhaps the reason why Chen Qianxue was not worried at all.

She already knew 99% of the names of the remnants of the previous dynasty in advance. She also knew what tricks they would use. Under such circumstances, if they could still cause a ruckus, then Chen Qianxue would be deeply embarrassed!

It would be a disgrace to call herself a simulator candidate!

“However…” Qin Jiao expression was strange. “Why do you want to come back with me this time? You’re not going back to the palace?!”

Chen Qianxue explained, “Near Maple City, there is something strange that I’m concerned about.”

“Something strange?” Qin Jiao suddenly thought of something. “Could it be that more than ten years ago, thousands of people entered Savage Mountain and then disappeared?!”

“Yes!” Chen Qianxue nodded and did not deny it. “It’s precisely this matter.”

She paused and continued, “Moreover, seven years ago, a very serious earthquake happened here. At that time, who knows how many civilians were displaced.”

“This news was sent to you by your Qin Clan using a Communication Talisman, and you told me. At that time, I specially sent a Secret Guard to check out the situation.”

“In the end…”

Chen Qianxue’s tone became a little more serious. “The same thing happened again! A large number of refugees seemed to have disappeared without a trace after entering the Savage Mountains! Moreover, no one found out about this.”

“If I didn’t send a Secret Guard, I probably wouldn’t know that the same thing would happen again.”

“Or maybe someone found out, but for some reason, those people hid this matter.”

Hearing this, Qin Jiao seemed to know what Chen Qianxue wanted to do. She frowned and said, “Do you want to see what secrets those desolate mountains have?”

Chen Qianxue nodded.

“Bring me along!” Qin Jiao immediately said with interest, “You can’t leave me behind for such an interesting thing!”

Interesting?

To describe it as ‘interesting’…

Chen Qianxue glanced at the slightly excited Qin Jiao. It seemed that this daughter of the Palace Master of Zhengxin Palace did not know how difficult it was for the common people.

“Wei Yi!” Chen Qianxue swept away the distracting thoughts in her heart and suddenly said, “Prepare some men. We will enter Savage Mountain tomorrow!”

“Yes!”

A solemn voice sounded.

She did not know where it came from.
