Chapter 2276 - 2271: Demon Abyss Entrance

Chapter 2276: Chapter 2271: Demon Abyss Entrance

Tang Ming turned to look at Hu Jiusheng.

Hu Jiusheng excelled in formations, his temperament was straightforward. The reason he achieved such success in formations was greatly related to his temperament.

Because of this, in managing cities and dealing with human nature, he was far from comparable to Hu Jiuze and Hu Bachang.

"Interest? It’s truly a word that feels sarcastic. We are helping them resist the Demon Abyss demons, and yet they are still thinking about interests. Such people should just become slaves to the demons."

Hu Jiusheng was momentarily stunned, then said with disgust.

"Uncle Jiusheng, without interests, unity is impossible. Interests are the thread that draws everyone together. Especially for those small sects. Perhaps for them, whether it’s us or the demons, as long as they have space for cultivation and food to avoid starvation, it doesn’t matter who rules."

Tang Ming glanced at the busy members of the Demon Hunting Team inside the city, then said.

Hu Jiusheng fell silent, even though he felt very angry, he had to admit that Tang Ming was right.

This is the way things are; if the establishment of West Continent City didn’t bring benefits to the Fox Spirit Mountain Range, perhaps Hu Bachang wouldn’t have agreed to let the Fox Spirit Mountain Range support West Continent City? ℯℯ𝘭.

After all, he still understood Hu Bachang’s personality quite well.

Thinking of what Tang Ming said, Hu Jiusheng sighed deeply, then said, "You’re right, I’m too outdated. There are some things I’ve thought too little about."

"City Lord, the matters within the city have mostly been settled, and the message to recruit residents has also been sent out."

Zhou Mo walked up from below the city wall, then reported to Tang Ming.

Tang Ming nodded: "Be mindful of the recruitment of people. The West Desolation area is severely lacking in population."

"Yes, I understand this point. I’ve already had the Demon Hunting Team promote in nearby cities, and I’ve sent that kid Sun Xiu back to Tianpo City. I heard it’s quite chaotic there, and I think he should gain a lot from it."

Zhou Mo grinned, while Tang Ming nodded: "Sun Xiu is quite reliable. Tell him to work hard, as a foundation member of West Continent City, he will definitely have his place in its future."

Zhou Mo didn’t say much, only providing a routine report to Tang Ming, with his own position in mind.

Zhou Mo knew what he should say and what he shouldn’t.

Having mingled in the medical shop of Tianpo City for so many years, he knew best what to use for dealing with people.

It was precisely because of this that after the rise of West Continent City, he and Guo Cunhou became some of the most powerful figures in West Continent City.

Tang Ming practically entrusted the entire West Continent City to him and Guo Cunhou.

"He’s still too young, City Lord, if you praise him a little more, he’ll get carried away. Now that everyone has settled in these past few days, I have some matters I want to inquire about with Elder Hu."

Zhou Mo’s gaze fell upon Hu Jiusheng nearby.

Zhou Mo still held much respect for Hu Jiusheng. Though he hadn’t witnessed the rise of West Continent City, the city stood here.

The formation at Fox Spirit Mountain, it’s all made Zhou Mo feel that Hu Jiusheng is a very talented person.

Talented people are those worthy of respect. Defying the Demon Abyss demons, is mere courage and fearlessness enough?

If it were useful, a few brave men would have already frightened the demons away from invading the Taoyuan World, so why bother building cities and hoarding food here?

"Go ahead, speak. I’m straightforward, you know that, speak your mind freely."

Hu Jiusheng smiled at Zhou Mo and said.

Hu Jiusheng still had a favorable impression of Zhou Mo because, after all, Zhou Mo was diligent in his work and one of the first to follow Tang Ming.

"Elder Hu, West Continent City previously activated a formation, which is why it entered underground, right? As far as I know, over at Demon Origin Mountain, we haven’t had any outposts, dealing with Demon Abyss, intelligence is still essential. If the formation could be applied to Demon Origin Mountain, it should have unexpected effects."

Zhou Mo smiled and said.

Hu Jiusheng shook his head: "The demons of the Demon Abyss are far more formidable than you think; underground is their foundation. The Demon Abyss has a kind of demon beast called the Goulian Beast. It looks a lot like a mantis, and it lives underground."

"Goulian Beast?"

Zhou Mo looked at Hu Jiusheng in surprise.

Hu Jiusheng took out a jade scroll and handed it to Zhou Mo nearby: "Here’s an introduction to the Goulian Beast. For the demons, Goulian Beasts are like horses for humans. They can dig tunnels, fly, and dive underwater."

"This is the Goulian Beast, it really does look like a mantis."

Zhou Mo glanced at the jade scroll and exclaimed.

"Yes, back in the day, when we fought against the demons of the Demon Abyss, we suffered a lot from these creatures. If it weren’t for their low intelligence, the demons of the Demon Abyss might have already occupied the Immortal Mountain and Taoyuan World."

Hu Jiusheng sighed deeply, then said.

"No matter how powerful the demons and Goulian Beasts are, as long as they are our enemies, we can defeat them."

Tang Ming looked at Zhou Mo and Hu Jiusheng.

Hu Jiusheng was initially stunned, then he smiled: "Indeed, no matter how strong the enemies are, if we can defeat them once, we can definitely defeat them a second time."

Ying Chou, after following Tang Ming to the West Desolation area, had been assisting Sun Xiu the whole time.

Ying Chou, in his heart, still had a lot of ambition, after all, like Tang Ming, he was an ascender.

Tang Ming had initially entered the Jiulong Dynasty under his guidance.

After the rise of West Continent City, most people joined the sewage team, while Sun Xiu and Ying Chou, along with others, were arranged by Guo Cunhou to other cities to recruit members of the Demon Hunting Team.

Since Sun Xiu was from Tianpo City and was very familiar with it, he went directly there.

But Ying Chou did not leave the West Desolation area, instead heading for Demon Origin Mountain.

Demon Origin Mountain is the site of the Demon Abyss’s invasion. The establishment of West Continent City was initially to resist the demons of the Demon Abyss.

Ying Chou thought that recruiting people was something that could be done sooner or later.

Dealing with the demon invasion might be a better choice afterward. After all, if you go and tell the people in those cities to go to West Continent City to resist the demons now, they would just scoff, "People from the West Desolation always say that, and over the years, I’ve been deceived out of quite a bit of grain by West Desolation folks, but the demons? I’ve never even seen a shadow of them."

Ying Chou looked up, taking a deep breath as he gazed at the towering mountain before him.

The entrance to the Demon Abyss and the underground Demon Eye are beneath this mountain.
