Chapter 2127: Of the World

Still watching the two disappearing figures, Old Ma said loudly, “From today on, cultivators from the ancient royal family of Yan and Lingxiao Palace of Shangqing Domain are strictly forbidden to set foot on the Four Corner Continent. Any violators will be killed on sight. If there is a next time, I will bring the cultivators from our village for a visit.”

His voice could be heard for thousands of miles. Although no one chase after them, these two must have heard what he said. This was a warning to them that if today’s situation were to repeat itself, they would pay a visit to the Great Yan Kingdom and Lingxiao Palace. By then, the battlefield would no longer be limited just to Four Corner City.

The people in Four Corner City raised their heads to looked at the sky. Those men were plainly dressed but displayed extraordinary power. This battle was enough to prove the formidable strength of Four Corner Village.

Moreover, the premier cultivator in Four Corner Village hadn’t even lifted a finger this time.

It was said that there was a teacher in Four Corner Village who was truly the premier cultivator in Four Corner Village, but no one from the outside had seen him. No one knew where he came from or how he ended up there. In fact, not many in the entire Shangqing Domain had seen him.

Nanhai Wuji, the great elder of the Nanhai family, had once asked for an audience with the teacher but was refused by Old Ma because he was unworthy to meet with the teacher.

“Those involved in the attack today, we will only go after those who entered the city and not chase after the force behind them. On the same note, if this ever happens again, no matter who it is, Four Corner Village will pursue the matter to the end.” Old Ma looked at the sky below and saw that the Zhang family was still making arrests. But this time, he was not planning on investigating which forces were behind the scenes or involved.

Today, Four Corner Village’s unveiling was a show of force, and the others were testing them. They used the two major forces in Shangqing Domain as scouts.

As the first battle by Four Corner Village as a princ.i.p.ality, the purpose of the showdown had been achieved. Old Ma understood that if they insisted on pursuing the matter, many others were involved. But this battle was a warning to them.

As for those who came here, he would not extend any courtesy to them. The loss of their lives would be used as a reminder for those who came after them.

The Zhang family possessed great strength, and the net that they cast inside Four Corner City had captured many of the offenders.

Old Ma and the others landed inside the Four Corner City. By now, this area had already been destroyed. There were ruins everywhere. It was as if all the efforts to build it had been in vain.

However, the significance of this battle could not be measured simply by the destruction of a city.

Cultivators were able to build cities quickly. If a significant amount of manpower was dispatched, a small city could arise from the ground in a single day.

Fang Gai had now allowed Fang Cun and a few other youths out of the village. All of them had witnessed the battle that occurred just now, and the young people had a more realistic understanding of cultivation. Was that the kind of battle between powerful cultivators? Indeed, they were still too young; there was too vast of a gap for them to catch up.

Tie Tou looked at Old Ma and his father with admiration. He didn’t expect Grandpa Ma and his dad to be so strong.

This battle was enough to leave a deep impression on the hearts of these young people.

“Grandpa, which one of you is better?” Fang Cun asked Fang Gai.

“Look at you.” Fang Gai gave him a little tap on his head. But then Fang Cun looked at Ye Futian and asked, “Master, tell me if you can you beat both of them.”

“Of course, I’m not as good as Grandpa Ma or your own grandfather,” Ye Futian said with a smile.

“Your strength has opened the eyes of old guys like us. Such a realm of cultivation with such combat power… In a few years, us old guys will be far behind you,” Fang Gai commented. Ye Futian’s display of power had surprisingly delighted them.

“Well, in the future, the village will still depend on you young people,” Old Ma said. The teacher could only be the guardian of the village. But if Four Corner Village wanted to expand, it must rely on the growth of Ye Futian and these young people.

Now, Four Corner Village was blessed by its ancestors’ Great Path. It enjoyed a unique environment for cultivation. It was difficult for it not to rise.

“Hey, Master, you must teach me and not hide anything,” Fang Cun said expectantly.

“Of course,” Ye Futian rea.s.sured him.

Fang Cun was stunned. His face fell, and those around them had smiles on theirs.

People in the distance were watching them from afar. It seemed that it was a foregone conclusion that Shangqing Domain would have one more major princ.i.p.ality, and no one could stop it from happening.

Before long, Zhang Ye—the head of the Zhang family—brought a group of men over and said, “Sir, out of those who have been exposed, some have been killed on the spot for resisting. These are the ones we captured. What do you want to do with them?”

“Kill them,” Fang Gai said coldly.

“Very well.” Zhang Ye nodded, then turned around with his men. He quickly put an end to the rest of them. Fang Gai and the others made a secret note to themselves as they watched Zhang Ye handle this piece of nasty business. He had formidable cultivation and was ruthless in action. He was a man with great resolve. Doing so also burned bridges. If he ever left the Four Corner City, he would be everyone’s target.

Zhang Ye stood there after he returned. Although he said nothing, Old Ma and the others understood as they looked at each other. Fang Gai took the initiative and asked, “This Four Corner City was built around Four Corner Village and is named the same. We will just come straight to the point: what is your name?”

“Zhang Ye,” the other replied.

“Zhang Ye, from now on, you will be in charge of Four Corner City, and you will be allowed to build your own force inside Four Corner City. You may enter Four Corner Village to cultivate. In addition, you may select those with outstanding and suitable talents for us to a.s.sess and evaluate whether they may also enter Four Corner Village to cultivate. Of course, this matter is not urgent. You should focus on getting the city under control first.”

“Yes,” Zhang Ye nodded slightly. He knew he had succeeded. From this moment on, he worked for Four Corner Village, and he could enter the village to cultivate.

It was just as he had planned. Since Four Corner had now entered the world, it must consider expanding and becoming stronger, and as such, it must absorb powerful cultivators from the outside to strengthen itself. Now, this matter fell on him, which was of great significance.

“From now on, you will be the external deacon of Four Corner Village,” Old Ma added.

“Thank you, elder.” Zhang Ye bowed slightly to express his grat.i.tude. Old Ma was someone of influence. Even someone like him had to bow down in front of someone like Old Ma.

Old Ma did this to preserve Zhang Ye. Since Zhang Ye had basically thrown in his own lot with theirs, he couldn’t very well leave him out in the cold. What’s more, Four Corner Village was indeed in need of useful people now.

First of all, to enter the world and partic.i.p.ate in cultivation, they couldn’t keep staying in the village and stay blind to everything that happened outside. Everything about the outside world must be well understood.

From the instant they decided to venture outside of the village, many things needed to be done.

In the village, beside the teacher, Old Ma and the other six were in charge, acting as the elders in Four Corner Village. Now there was no village chief yet appointed, so Old Ma was acting as the Senior Elder. The teacher was the most suitable person as the village chief, but since he demurred, the position was vacant. Fang Gai and the others had intended to elect Old Ma as the village chief, but Old Ma disagreed.

Now, to designate Zhang Ye as an external deacon meant he would work for them on all affairs related to the outside. In the future, they would need to recruit a group of cultivators, like Zhang Ye, as their external agents.

Of course, this matter couldn’t be rushed. In order to become a powerful character, each person their own pursuit, and not everyone was willing to serve Four Corner Village like Zhang Ye.

Zhang Ye came to Four Corner Village because he and his family had reached a bottleneck and sought a new opportunity. So, they came here to serve the village, looking for their chance.

Old Ma didn’t say much. He looked at Blind Tie next to him and said, “Go to the village and cast a few weapons. Later, they will be placed in Four Corner City. I will arrange a spatial seal power inside the city to cover the periphery. Only the main entrance of the city may be used to enter and exit the city, and those who enter the city will need to be screened and controlled in the future.”

“Good,” Blind Tie nodded.

“Yes.” Zhang Ye also took the order and saw Old Ma levitate into the air. An astonis.h.i.+ng divine light bloomed from him, turning into an infinite light screen above the sky. He was getting ready to lock the city and encapsulated Four Corner City. As such, except for powerful figures who could break free and come and go as they pleased, anyone else who wanted to make trouble in the city would not be able to escape so easily with the entrance guarded.

It didn’t take long for the people in Four Corner City to feel a mighty aura. A radiant divine light shrouded the boundless s.p.a.ce. Above the very high part of the sky, a pale golden light appeared, but it was hard to see it with the naked eye because it was so high.

Although Old Ma had shrouded the city, it would not affect normal operations and combat in the air, so he had sealed it from a high alt.i.tude.

Watching all this happening, Ye Futian felt some emotion inside. He had originally wanted to enter the City Lord’s Office to cultivate, but he was humiliated instead. Even the City Lord himself wanted to kill him. By coincidence or fate, he entered Four Corner Village—a cultivating holy land out of this world.

However, now that Four Corner Village was part of the cultivating world, everything that happened today symbolized another new beginning. Four Corner Village had formally entered the world and began to develop its influence!
