Chapter 482 See you soon!

Yuan Hua said happily: "I do, I do!"

Xin Zhen nodded and said, "Okay, come on."

Yuan Hua condensed his heart blood, attached a trace of soul, and then reluctantly handed the soul blood to Xin Zhen. He knew very well that once this drop of blood was donated, his life would no longer be in his own hands. If Xin Zhen lived, he would live, and if Xin Zhen died, he would not be able to survive.

Xin Zhen collected Yuan Hua's soul and blood and absorbed it into his own sea of ​​consciousness. Suddenly, a feeling of life and death dependence arose between the man and the demon.

Yuan Hua's mind suddenly calmed down at this moment, and when he looked at Xin Zhen again, he already felt a feeling of admiration for him.

Xin Zhen and Xiao Feng nodded. Xiao Feng had already put the three monsters into the sack. Xin Zhen turned to Yuan Hua and said, "Go and dispatch dozens of monsters. I can use them."

Yuan Hua nodded sincerely and said, "Yes."

It was much easier for Yuan Hua to dispatch dozens of monsters than to trick the three big monsters. They were lured over in a short while. Xin Zhen and Xiao Feng knocked them out one by one. Then a boat quietly docked at the bank of the Yangtze River. The two men and one monster carried dozens of little monsters onto the boat. There were already many cages made of fine steel on the boat, and the little monsters were imprisoned in them one by one.

The ship then set sail, went down the river, and arrived in Gusu in the middle of the night via the river.

The people of Gusu City knew nothing about it, but the next day the city was in a state of tension because early in the morning the soldiers guarding the city saw monsters lining up outside the city, preparing to enter the city.

There were dozens of monsters including pig monsters, wolf monsters, dog monsters, fox monsters, spider monsters, etc., all of which were extremely large. The soldiers standing on the top of the city wall could already touch their heads. You can imagine how big these monsters were.

How could the general defending the city dare to let these monsters into the city? However, it was the patriarch of the Xin family who wanted to let these monsters in. He said that these were monsters they captured from Jiangyin and would be sold to the nobles in the city. This made the general defending the city a little embarrassed, and he had no choice but to ask the head of the Six Departments of Gusu for instructions.

At this time, Gusu no longer had so-called prefects, magistrates and other officials sent by the court. Instead, the six ministries of Gusu were in charge, and the heads of each of these six ministries were all representatives of Gusu's aristocratic families.

When the heads of the six ministries heard that the Xin family had captured a large number of monsters, and that they were monsters from the Guanhai Realm, they immediately became interested and quickly asked the cultivators in the family to follow them to the city gate. As expected, they saw dozens of monsters that were several meters tall. The cultivation of those monsters was restricted, and someone was tying them with ropes.

The six heads looked at each other, and then the head surnamed Chen looked at his own cultivator and asked, "Ancestor, if these monsters come in, can you restrain them?"

The Chen family ancestor laughed and said, "One hand is enough to suppress it."

The practitioners from other families also laughed and said, "Young man from the Chen family, you really look down on us old guys, don't you? These are just small minions from the Guanhai Realm, only a few dozen of them. A spit from my ancestor Zhou is enough to drown them!"

Master Chen smiled and said, "That's great. With the ancestors here, we youngsters can rest assured. Let them in. Open the door!"

At the command, the tightly closed gates of Gusu City burst open. Under the command of Xin's people, the monsters obediently stuck their butts up, lowered their heads, and crawled in through the doorway in a suffocating manner. Seeing the monsters entering the city in such a humiliating way, the people of Gusu immediately cheered loudly. The greater the progress they had made before, the more proud they were now.

Some of those monsters were arrogant and could not help but bare their teeth at the people of Gusu, scaring them so much that they retreated again and again. At this time, a young man from the Xin family jumped out and lashed at the monsters with a long whip like a poisonous snake. The long whip seemed very thin compared to the monsters, but when the monsters were hit, they shrank into a ball in pain.

This young man was no ordinary employee, but a disciple of Huashan Sect. They had come down from the mountain long ago and joined the Xin's Merchant Group under Huashan Sect. Most of them had entered the Golden Body Realm or even the Far-Traveling Realm. This young man was a master who had entered the Far-Traveling Realm.

The young man's teaching the monster a lesson drew a lot of cheers.

At this time, Xin Shao, the head of the Xin clan, came to the city gate. When the Huashan Sect was on the right track, he originally wanted to resign as the head of the Xin clan and let Xin Zhen take over the position of clan leader concurrently. Only in this way could he truly hold power and control both the Xin clans on the mountain and below. However, Xin Zhen declined.

The reason is very simple. First, he does not need to use this method to achieve control over the Xin family. After all, the Xin family at the foot of the mountain is just an earthly family, and everything depends on the mountain. The Xin family on the mountain has long regarded Xin Zhen, the leader, as a god, and would not dare to have the slightest disrespectful thought.

Secondly, the organizational structure on the mountain is tight enough. The Xin family on the mountain has basically been integrated into the Huashan Sect. Their ideas are mainly based on the sectarian ideas of the Huashan Sect. The clan concepts of the mortal world are actually quite indifferent.

Thirdly, Xin Zhen was too busy and had no time to take care of worldly affairs. Having Xin Shao to manage them would actually save Xin Zhen a lot of energy. Moreover, Xin Shao had a great influence in Gusu after all. Having him communicate with the major families could save a lot of trouble.

Sure enough, this decision was correct. When Xin Shao arrived at the city gate, the leaders of the major surnames found him.

The chief officer surnamed Chen asked, "Chief Xin, what's going on?"

The person who was sent to inform them only said that the Xin family had captured a group of monsters and wanted to bring them to the city for auction, but did not say much, so Master Chen asked questions on behalf of other big families.

It was the first time that Xin Shao saw so many monsters of big names. He was actually very surprised, but then he thought that they were captured by his nephew Xin Zhen, and he was immediately very proud. Hearing Chen Zhushi's question, Xin Shao smiled and said, "My useless nephew Xin Zhen captured them. When he heard that Jiangyin City was breached by monsters, he was filled with indignation and ran over there. I was afraid that he was in danger, but I didn't expect that he would actually catch so many monsters. Haha."

The Chen family is one of the eight major surnames in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. There is only one Xu family in Gusu City that is also one of the eight major surnames. The other four surnames are not as good as him. Therefore, he has never looked down on the Xin family. Today he has opened his eyes.

Manager Chen felt somewhat unhappy. He knew Xin Zhen, of course. At the last Tiger Hill Heroes Conference, their Chen family was one of the eight major surnames, so they naturally went to participate. Xin Zhen defeated the three great golden elixir masters at Tiger Hill, and this matter had long been widely circulated among the aristocratic families. How could they not know about it? However, he still felt a little unhappy to be suppressed like this.

But even though he was unhappy, he was still envious when he saw those dozens of sea-viewing realm monsters. Most of the wealthy families had the habit of raising monsters, but they were basically small monsters. Small monsters such as skin, grass roots, willow tendons, and bones were more common. If they reached the level of building a house, they were already considered very good monsters. If someone had a sixth-level monster in the cave-mansion realm, it would probably be very eye-catching. As for the monsters in the sea-viewing realm, they were something you could only encounter by chance.

The Xin family now has dozens of sea-viewing realm fairies. If they can be taken into the family, the power of the family may increase dramatically.

Don't look down on the Guanhai Realm. In fact, the Guanhai Realm is already considered the mainstream combat power in the mortal world. The Longmen Realm can be called a great master, the Jindan Realm is the top combat power, and as for the Yuanying Realm, it basically does not appear in the world. If there are dozens of Guanhai Realm masters in the family, it is basically equivalent to an army.

Therefore, although Master Chen was not happy, he was still jealous, so he said to Xin Shao: "Chief Xin, if these dozens of monsters are not managed well, they will easily disturb the people. It is better for them to come to our Chen family first. We have a golden elixir master who can suppress them..."

Before he could finish his words, the head of the Xu family said coldly: "Chen Liyan, do you have any shame? There are dozens of Guanhai Realm monsters, and your Chen family wants to swallow them all. Can your Chen family swallow them all?"

The Chen, Xu and Lai families in Gusu City have never been on good terms, which is quite normal. After all, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. The strength of the two families is not much different. Although Gusu City is large, it is difficult to avoid friction, so they have never been on good terms. Chen Liyan smiled and said, "Xu Bangzhang, the treasures of heaven and earth belong to the virtuous. I think these monsters are destined for my Chen family, so your Xu family should not get involved, okay?"

Xu Bangzhang sneered and said, "Bullshit, do you think the other big names here will agree? You, Chen Liyan, have always liked to eat alone. It's okay for other things, but today's matter cannot be allowed to be arbitrarily decided by Qian Gang!"

Chen Liyan looked at Xin Shao and said, "Chief Xin, what do you say?"

Xin Shao suddenly felt a little at a loss. Now the Chen and Xu families were fighting each other. Whoever he favored would offend the other. And it wasn't just the Chen and Xu families, there were also the other four families of Li, Wu, Zhou and Zhu. If he offended all six of these families, the Xin family might have to leave Gusu City.

At this moment, Xin Shao felt that these dozens of Guanhai Realm monsters were not rare commodities, but instead became hot potatoes.

But he was not panicked because his nephew Xin Zhen said that he would come forward on this matter. Maybe it was time for him to come, right?
Xin Shao and Chen Liyan said, "My nephew should be here soon, and he will be in charge of this matter."

Chen Liyan snorted and said nothing more.

Xin Shao said loudly: "We, the Xin family, will hold a monster auction in front of the City God Temple this afternoon. If you are interested in participating, please wait in front of the City God Temple at 15:00 in the afternoon."

Upon hearing this, all the big names turned around and left.

As for the people of Gusu, they followed the monster to the City God Temple.

At noon, Xin Zhen had already arrived at the City God Temple. A high platform had been built in front of the City God Temple, and many people from Gusu, more than ten thousand in total, gathered below.

As for those big families, they sat on the chairs in front of the platform.

When he arrived at his own territory, Huo Guang would naturally show up, but ordinary people could not see him, only practitioners could see him.

Huo Guang frowned slightly and said to Xin Zhen: "Master Xin, what are you doing?"

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "It is better to drive people by interests than by justice. Most of the noble families are those who seek profit and profit. If you drive them by justice, they will avoid it. But if they see profit, they will be more active than anyone else.

When they saw that capturing monsters was profitable, they became much more active. The aristocratic families would either send people to capture monsters themselves or purchase them with money. Therefore, when the practitioners throughout Jiangsu and Zhejiang saw that it was profitable, they would naturally take the initiative to capture monsters.

In this way, no matter how many monsters there are, they will not be able to withstand capture. Although this move may not be able to curb the plots of the four monsters, it can always create some obstacles for them. "

Huo Guang's eyes lit up when he heard this. He looked Xin Zhen up and down and praised him, "Master Xin, how did you come up with such a clever idea? You have so many wonderful ideas. It's really amazing."

Xin Zhen smiled but said nothing. In later generations in China, no matter what invasive species, as long as their meat was desirable, the Chinese would eat them as farmed ones, otherwise there would be no supply at all. That was the truth.

Hmm? Should we develop cooking methods for various monsters? Given human curiosity, perhaps a larger market could be formed?

But Xin Zhen soon gave up this idea. He didn't need to do it himself. There were naturally countless Taotie to do it. This matter was still a little unacceptable to him.

After all, although these monsters are monsters, they are spiritual, can talk, and practice. In fact, they are no different from humans. Eating them makes Xin Zhen feel a little nauseous, and he also feels reluctant to guide them.

Xin Zhen did not answer Huo Guang's question, but continued: "Another reason is to let the people of Gusu see how terrifying these monsters are.

Hundreds of thousands of monsters are eyeing Jiangyin City covetously. Once they move south, Gusu City will become ruins in an instant, and everyone will become food in the monsters' mouths.

Once a crisis occurs, it will be possible to evacuate these people quickly. This is also to make some preparations for the outbreak of the Nether Well."

Huo Guang nodded his head and said, "Master Xin is a man of great wisdom and intelligence. It is a great fortune for the people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang to have Master Xin!"

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "I hope General Huo will support this matter. It would be best to form a monster trading market here to encourage practitioners in Jiangsu and Zhejiang to join in the hunting.

If a cultivator hunts one more monster, he will save one more citizen from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. This is a meritorious deed."

Huo Guang smiled and nodded, saying, "It's just a matter of convenience."

As the two were talking, Chen Liyan from the Chen family came over, bowed to Xin Zhen and Huo Guang, and said, "General Huo, Sect Leader Xin, Chen Liyan greets you."

Huo Guang and Xin Zhen did not dare to neglect him. After all, Chen Liyan represented the Chen family, one of the eight major surnames in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. They all bowed and said, "Hello, Mr. Chen."

Chen Liyan exchanged a few pleasantries with Xin Zhen and Huo Guang, then explained his purpose and said, "Master Xin, is it possible for us to cooperate in capturing the monster?"

Xin Zhen and Huo Guang looked at each other and both thought, "There's hope!"

Xin Zhen smiled and asked, "Does the Chen family also want to capture monsters?"

Chen Liyan nodded and said, "I have this idea, but monsters are not easy to capture. Aren't we here to learn from Master Xin?"

Xin Zhen nodded and said, "Of course it's possible, but our two families are still not strong enough."
