80: Kill one, and blood will flow like a river!
Soon, under the lead of the City Lord and with Jiang Haochuan's assistance, all the Mortals in Black Water City received a Divine Statue.
They also learned how to use them.
Because Jiang Haochuan had killed the Black Tiger Gang Leader who had plagued Black Water City for a long time right before their eyes,
and because Jiang Haochuan and the others said these Divine Statues had various miraculous effects,
even if they didn't believe the statues actually had such effects, Jiang Haochuan had helped them remove a menace.
They were willing to believe Jiang Haochuan's words; placing a broken bowl in front of the Divine Statue, they began to piously chant the god's name.
After chanting several times, the Divine Statue in front of them shimmered, and Medicinal Water appeared out of thin air within the broken bowl.
"It's Medicinal Water! It's truly a miracle!"
One person looked at the Medicinal Water in the broken bowl, which emitted a strange fragrance; his Adam's apple bobbed, and he drank it all in one gulp.
Instantly, his hunger vanished, some small wounds on his body began to heal, and his faintly aching right leg no longer hurt.
As the scorching sunlight poured down, he only felt warmth without any heat; it was extremely comfortable!
"A god! It's truly a god!" The man couldn't help but jump and shout.
Seeing this scene, the surrounding masses went completely wild and began to pray piously.
Countless Divine Statues shimmered, and bowl after bowl of Medicinal Water appeared to be drunk by the many people.
Color returned to everyone's faces; they were no longer pale from hunger as they had been before.
Wounds caused by the oppression of Gangs were rapidly healing, and at the same time, an inexhaustible strength seemed to surge within their bodies.
Jiang Haochuan watched this scene and nodded in satisfaction; these Medicinal Pills were personally refined by a Cave Heaven Realm Great Power.
Although only low-level Spirit Medicine like Thousand-Year Ginseng was used, which only had some effect on Martial Artists below the Nascent Transformation Realm,
for these Mortals, a single pill could easily bring the dead back to life and regrow flesh on bones.
Now dissolved in water, it could ensure these Mortals wouldn't go hungry for three days, heal all minor injuries, and even strengthen their foundation; long-term consumption would make them strong and healthy, enough to live for a hundred years.
Within less than a day, all the Mortals within dozens of miles of Black Water City were chanting Zhang Yang's name as a god.
To prevent everyone from only chanting the god's name every day and doing nothing, neglecting everything,
Jie Chong and the others had also made preparations: Medicinal Water could only be obtained once every seven days.
However, in the eyes of these Mortals, even if it was only once every seven days, it was true hope.
Compared to being exploited and overworked for a lifetime, never living past sixty,
the benefits brought by this Medicinal Water were obvious.
Meanwhile, in the Southern Region, in all the cities of Mortals, various ragged Mortals prayed piously to the Divine Statues before them and then drank the obtained Medicinal Water in one gulp.
Some Mortals, dressed in rags and reduced to skin and bones, felt their bodies fill with strength and their faces flush with color.
They couldn't help but continue to piously spread the god's name.
Zhang Yang's great name completely resounded throughout the Southern Region, and all the Martial Artist Families and Schools in the Southern Region received notice from the Clear Wind Sect.
With four Cave Heaven Realm Great Powers backing them, they didn't dare to stop the Clear Wind Sect Disciples from spreading Zhang Yang's name as a god in the Mortal cities under their rule.
Although many Martial Artists did not understand why this was being done, there was no harm in it anyway.
Furthermore, with four Cave Heaven Realm Great Powers present, they didn't dare to stop it and were too lazy to stop it.
For a time, the entire Mortal Realm was thrown into upheaval.
Obtaining a bowl of Medicinal Water every seven days was enough to keep one from hunger for three days, while also strengthening the foundation and the body.
Although it required piously spreading the god's name, for some Mortals who couldn't even afford food, such a price was almost non-existent.
Meanwhile, in some Mortal cities, within the homes of some nobles or landlords,
they looked at the Divine Statues in their hands with gloomy expressions.
"Hmph! Damn it! The number of people working under us has decreased significantly lately!"
"Some commoners even dare to take the opportunity to raise their prices, demanding we pay them more!"
"They say that since there are so few people working now, if you don't hire them, plenty of others will!"
"It's truly infuriating!" some landlords and nobles roared.
"Why don't we petition the City Lord to have them take back all these Divine Statues!" someone suggested.
"That's right! These commoners! With this Divine Statue, they get a bowl of Medicinal Water every seven days! If they use it sparingly, they can even ensure five days of survival!"
"Many of our workshops can't operate anymore! we can't hire many people at all!" someone wailed.
"No, these Divine Statues were distributed by the City Lord! Do you still want him to take them back?"
"Besides, aren't you tempted by the Medicinal Water from this Divine Statue?"
"Strengthening the foundation, recovering from injuries, living for a hundred years! Aren't you tempted by these?" another person said.
"How about we use force to snatch all of their Medicinal Water."
As their eyes darted around, all sorts of vicious and evil ideas came to their minds.
Inside the City Lord's Mansion in White Cloud City,
the City Lord knelt before a Clear Wind Sect Disciple, trembling violently.
Some nobles in the city actually dared to rely on force to snatch the Divine Water.
After being reported, they even dared to resist with force!
"My Lord, I knew nothing; it was they who acted on their own initiative!" the City Lord said, shivering.
"Enough, I know." Elder Wang of the Clear Wind Sect looked at the City Lord with a calm expression.
The White Cloud City he was responsible for was considered a large city; the City Lord's Profound Core Realm cultivation was also considered above average in the Southern Region.
He never imagined that someone would dare to delay his mission right under his nose!
"Can you handle this?" Elder Wang asked in a cold voice.
"Yes! Yes, yes! I definitely can!" The City Lord nodded repeatedly.
Not long after, all those nobles who had snatched the Divine Water were brought over to the largest execution platform in the city.
Watched by countless people, the City Lord looked at the playboys on the execution platform with a face full of Killing Intent.
"City Lord! My brother is a True Disciple of the Lingyun Sect! You cannot kill me! My brother will definitely avenge me!"
"My father is...!"
For a time, the playboys on the execution platform shouted one after another, calling out their various backings, as if shouting such things could increase their confidence and save their lives.
However, it was of no use.
The Sect Leader of the Lingyun Sect was only at the sixth level of the Profound Core Realm, yet a True Disciple's younger brother dared to delay a mission issued by the Clear Wind Sect!
After the truth was known, whether this True Disciple's own life could be saved was a question!
If the Lingyun Sect Leader didn't personally bring his head to apologize, he would be getting off easy!
"Execute!"
As soon as the words were spoken, countless heads flew, and blood splattered across the execution platform. Terror and disbelief remained on the faces of these playboys.
"Good riddance!"
"They deserved it!"
"Deserving of death! Well killed!"
These playboys used to rely on the forces behind them to tyrannize White Cloud City.
Now that they had offended the Divine Might and died so easily, it was simply letting them off too lightly!
They should have been cut into a thousand pieces and their flesh fed to the dogs!
During these few days, countless playboys and Gangs in the Southern Region died for obstructing the Clear Wind Sect's mission.
Although blood flowed like a river, the many Mortals only cheered!
For a time, all the nobles trembled, and even the Imperial Family did not dare to take much action.
After all, even the Schools behind them could not afford to offend the Clear Wind Sect, let alone their subordinate Mortal Imperial Dynasties.
The various martial Schools and Families in the Southern Region had already sent out word: whoever dares to obstruct the Clear Wind Sect's mission shall be killed by all!
