Chapter 5417 Two Extremes
After Chen Yang read the spiritual certificate, he found that the information involved was very complicated, including population statistics, consumption statistics, floating population statistics, strength statistics, power statistics and other information.
Although it was complicated, it was well organized. It seemed that Wang Yudong had been waiting for this day and had made preparations for it.
Chen Yang put down the spiritual certificate and said to Wang Yudong: "It seems that City Lord Wang has had an idea for a long time, but he just lacked the opportunity."
"No, no, this information was collected by the people below with great effort."
Wang Yudong hurriedly said modestly, but there was some expectation in his eyes. Obviously, he also wanted to rectify Gujiao City.
Then, Chen Yang and Wang Yudong discussed specific countermeasures and decided to gather people from various forces in Gujiao City for consultation.
Although it was nominally a consultation, it was actually a direct order to control these forces first, and then start to rectify the entire Gujiao City.
On the surface, all forces nodded in agreement, and the meeting ended successfully.
But when they went back, everything was the same as before.
Obviously, in the eyes of those forces, Chen Yang, the inspector of the Yongting branch, was just a show, and they didn't take it seriously at all.
Chen Yang didn't want to waste time or talk too much, so he went directly to the Fire Hall, killed the leader Wu Huo, and then announced to the public that anyone who didn't obey Wang Yudong's orders would end up like Wu Huo.
At this time, the whole Gujiao City was boiling, and the forces immediately began to shrink, not daring to show their teeth and claws anymore, and all obeyed Wang Yudong's orders obediently.
However, in just half a month, Gujiao City has been on the right track.
Although it can't be changed in a short period of time, it can be foreseen that Gujiao City will be reborn in one or two years at most.
By then, Gujiao City will inevitably become a peaceful and stable city.
But there is a problem. Those who like chaos have left Gujiao City. By then, what will be left of Gujiao City?
Without resources and people, the existence of this city will lose its meaning.
In order to prevent the loss of population in Gujiao City, Chen Yang gave Wang Yudong some high-level secret books, pill recipes and other items, and asked him to have someone secretly take them out for auction after a period of time.
And before the auction, it was widely publicized in the surrounding cities to attract people.
When it gradually formed a scale, it would become a trading city in the future, and it could prosper even without resources.
This plan, however, would require at least several decades of effort, and Chen Yang could only pin his hopes on Wang Yudong.
Everything in Gujiao City was arranged properly, and Chen Yang and Wan Jun left for Youzhou where the skeleton was.
The inspection team was still in Yongting Branch, but Chen Yang did not plan to return now. Anyway, he was nominally traveling with Xu Pei, and no one could control him.
When he returned to Yongting Branch, he said that he had parted ways with Xu Pei, and Xu Pei's life and death would not be his business.
As for Peng Yan, he repeatedly targeted Chen Yang, and Chen Yang remembered this grudge, and when the time was right, he would take revenge.
Youzhou and Guiyuanzhou are adjacent to each other, but for the vast thirteen states, even the distance between two adjacent states is very far. It is obviously impossible for Chen Yang and Wan Jun to fly over.
Fortunately, Wan Jun can use the teleportation array of Yin Temple to bring Chen Yang in the ring and arrive in Youzhou.
Entering Youzhou, Chen Yang and Wan Jun went together to the Skull Mountain where the skeleton was.
On the way, Chen Yang saw the scene of Youzhou, which was completely different from Guiyuanzhou.
The people of Guiyuanzhou live a stable and peaceful life, and everything is thriving. Only a few areas are as complicated and dangerous as Gujiaocheng.
But compared with the cities in Youzhou, Gujiaocheng is already a paradise.
Almost all places in Youzhou are in war and smoke.
There are corpses floating on the crisscrossing rivers.
Those cities are all ruins, and people's lives are very miserable. It is good to be alive, not to mention a stable life.
Yin Temple knows all this, but it is indifferent.
It can be seen that although both belong to the Jiyin Palace, Jidian and Yindian are completely two extremes, and their strategies for dealing with territories are worlds apart.
But what puzzled Chen Yang was that even if Jidian did not manage Youzhou, there should not be constant wars and never stop. Isn't there a powerful king who can calm it all?
As long as someone stands up and builds a strong country, the war will naturally stop.
Chen Yang told Wanjun about his inner doubts.
Wanjun explained: "For Yindian, only constant wars can satisfy them.
Because the cultivators of Yindian, the star formulas, exercises, magical powers, etc. they practice are all evil and demonic, and they can use blood, corpses, violent consciousness, etc. to strengthen their cultivation.
Therefore, even if someone can calm the war, Yindian will interfere and keep the war in Youzhou from stopping."
"So cruel."
Chen Yang gritted his teeth and looked at the large number of refugees in the distance, feeling helpless.
With his current strength, he is powerless to solve the problems of the entire Youzhou.
And it's not just Youzhou, the other two states under Yin Palace, Xiazhou and Guzhou, are also in this situation.
"If Jidian can rule all six states of Jiyin Palace, these people won't have to be displaced."
Chen Yang sighed, and couldn't help but feel strange, and asked Wanjun: "Do you know why Jidian and Yindian are so different?"
Wanjun said: "I heard that the two hall masters had different opinions, so they asked Kuxuan to separate the Ji Hall and Yin Hall. As for the specific situation, I don't know."
"Kuxuan wants to smelt the entire Baijie. He is definitely not a good person, but why did he let the Ji Hall appear and let the Ji Hall's management concept run wild?"
Chen Yang thought for a moment and said: "Perhaps the hall master of the Ji Hall is even feared by Kuxuan, so he gave in."
Suddenly, a strong bloody smell came, accompanied by a fierce momentum and evil energy fluctuations, covering Chen Yang.
"What's going on?"
Chen Yang's face changed, and he looked around vigilantly, and found that all these perceptions came from a huge pillar a hundred miles away.
The pillar was gray all over, and it was impossible to tell what material it was made of. It was about a kilometer in diameter and stretched vertically into the air.
A black breath lingered around the pillar, spreading along the pillar into the sky until it and the pillar were hidden in the clouds and disappeared.
The bottom of the giant pillar is deep underground. It is unknown how deep it is to stabilize this stone pillar that is so high that it cannot be seen from the top and prevent it from collapsing.
"What is this stone pillar?"
Chen Yang asked Wan Jun with a puzzled look on his face.
Wan Jun said with disgust: "This is the evil spirit formation set up by the Yin Palace, which is to collect negative forces such as resentment and blood, and then use them for their own benefit."
"I see." Chen Yang observed the stone pillar and asked: "How many stone pillars are there like this?"
