Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!

Chapter 1451: Chapter 1048: The Slandered God

Jiang Bai knew about Mr. Jiang’s plan to rectify the chaos ahead of time and would not meddle unnecessarily.

Besides, long ago, the Demon Cultivators sought autonomy, wishing to free themselves from the control of their Lords, and it was quite an unpleasant affair.

Even though I am the sixteenth Lord of Wuhai Zizhou, I must not forget the sacrifices made by my predecessors to maintain peace in the world.

Ignoring matters when they’re not needed, only to frantically reach out for help at the last minute, is far too late.

The efficiency of the Lord’s Mansion is always high, and shortly afterwards, a letter of polite refusal was delivered directly to Wanbao City.

"Heh! I knew it would work!" Kang Muzi never dreamed the reply would come so promptly.

Feeling smug, he opened the envelope and muttered to himself while unfolding the letter, "Who told the Lord it was their duty to maintain stability in their jurisdiction? The importance of slaying Demon Beasts is clear; how can she turn a blind eye..."

His gaze fell upon the paper, and his smile instantly froze. Kang Muzi’s mouth twitched as he slapped the letter onto the table.

The accompanying ancient contract book—partially exposed beneath the paper—read: ...The Lord still holds the supreme ruling power over their jurisdiction... Demon Cultivators are not like the savage Demon Beasts, as they possess cultural heritage, carry on civilization, and form an independent entity...

Demon Cultivators, as the eternal species distinct from Demon Beast groups, practice self-governance... The Demon Realm Alliance, various City Lords, Sect Families, all manage independently, with three specific agreements...

"Damn!" Kang Muzi’s face turned green with anger, "What nonsense internal disputes! Must we wait until conflicts among Demon Cultivators escalate into war before the Lord intervenes? By then, the city would be ruined!"

Moreover, today’s Demon Cultivators are so shrewd, they always find a place to land.

They’d never be like the Demon Cultivators of old, who had such a deep sense of belonging and collective honor, willing to die in battle rather than surrender to defend a city.

People’s conduct has deteriorated, and morality has decayed; if anything unfavorable arises, they only seek their own paths and flee at the slightest hint of trouble!

And talk of conflict reaching the level of war?

Didn’t you see that the vast Demon Realm Alliance split apart with hardly a stir?

Every Demon Cultivator acts selfishly; they would never truly start a war over the destruction of a Teleportation Array. Instigating the Lord to punish Du Li and Lan Shanying is entirely out of the question.

Kang Muzi leaned back angrily in his luxurious carved spirit wood chair, squinting as he slowly pressed his brow, troubled by endless worries.

Whether it’s the unauthorized construction of the Otherworld Teleportation Array or the advanced Teleportation Treasures to the Otherworld, they’re unusable. The entire Wilderness World is completely sealed off, obstructing the Demon Core business, which is a headache for the Commerce Association.

At this moment, Du Li releases news that the Otherworld Teleportation Array at the Demon Realm Alliance’s headquarters is available for use. What does this imply?

Could it be that the sealing of the Wilderness was his doing?

"When Yingtian Star captured the Evil Cultivators, the Observatory had previously sealed the world barriers." Kang Muzi muttered quietly: "The Observatory of Yingtian Star and the Demon Realm Alliance of the Wilderness World are similar in scale and frequently trade with one another.

Could it be... that the Demon Realm Alliance, like the Observatory, possesses the ability to seal the entire world, hiding its strength until now? Hiss!"

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. He straightened up and opened his eyes wide, "It’s highly possible! Du Li and Lan Shanying might want to exhaust us to death!"

With Demon Cores unable to be transported for trade in the Otherworld, the Teleportation Array destroyed, no Demon Beasts to be hunted for a while, and the Otherworld Teleportation Array at the headquarters of the Demon Realm Alliance open to all Demon Cultivators, offering great convenience...

"The goal is to drive all ordinary Demon Cultivators away, leaving the original Demon Realm Alliance’s Demon Cultivators to be killed slowly!" Kang Muzi realized that the controller of this chessboard aims to trap the traitors of the Demon Realm Alliance in the Wilderness World, growing increasingly anxious.

What to do? We can’t sit and wait for death!

Yet we’re unsure how long Du Li, or rather the hidden measures left by the Demon Realm Alliance, can seal the entire world. After all, everything requires energy consumption, and the energy needed to seal even a Little World is no small amount.

Now, there are only two points to rely on: First, Du Li doesn’t have enough resources to burn, only sealing for a few months, and Wanbao City’s deep foundations can withstand that;

Second, the Array Masters from the Immortal Alliance construct a new Otherworld Teleportation Array that can bypass the seal.

At that time, continuing transactions to maintain city operations or collecting wealth and treasured objects for a life in the Otherworld, permanently escaping the shadow of the Demon Realm Alliance, would at least offer an escape.

Realizing this, Kang Muzi could no longer sit still and had to urge the Commerce Association people to stir up trouble with the Immortal Alliance!

At the crack of dawn.

Jiang Yuan was fishing in the small courtyard while also monitoring its operations. The slaughterhouse would take about two days to process the Barren Bull, and he was eager to taste the highly praised Demon Beast beef belauded by the system.

Then, he saw the Mist Dragon rushing home, looking utterly dejected and exhausted.

"Resistance is futile." He blurted out unexpectedly, plopping down on the grass beside Jiang Yuan, waving his plump hand adorned with a Golden Ring, and said helplessly, "I used to think managing a Qihan Mountain was impressive enough. Tsk-tsk, I overestimated myself.

I can’t fathom how Daoist Du managed, as Vice Alliance Hierarch, to handle groups after groups of countless cunning fellows daily without collapsing from exhaustion or irritation?"
