262: One person is enough!

The scholar had thought that Chen Tianming would use his own cultivators to deal with these officials who were plundering the people's wealth.

But unexpectedly, Chen Tianming actually brought a troop!

The scholar was well-informed.

Once upon a time, he had even saved soldiers.

It could be said that the scholar was the most progressive person among all people in the Small World, constantly keeping up with the times.

He had seen four or five soldiers alone.

Two teachers, and even three or four clothes sellers.

He treated everyone fairly, without bias.

Moreover, he protected them wholeheartedly, only thinking of getting them out safely.

Because of this, most of the people he escorted would talk about their hometowns.

As a result, the scholar became a walking encyclopedia.

He knew everything and understood a little bit of everything.

Seeing one rifle after another, the scholar was also a bit stunned.

"They don't have spiritual power? Then how did you bring them in!"

Chen Tianming regretfully patted his forehead.

"Oh dear! It's all my fault! My brain seems to be malfunctioning!"

"The flame spiritual energy I absorbed comes from an ancient demonic beast. It only needs a wisp of a remnant soul's power to control the entire Bogu Corridor!"

"In other words, the entrance you keep sending people out of actually belongs to me now!"

The scholar was stunned, his jaw almost hitting the ground.

"It belongs to you? What kind of ridiculous opportunity is this!"

Chen Tianming spread his hands, feigning helplessness.

"I didn't want to! Anyway, I suddenly realized that it's up to me who gets to come in!"

Looking at Chen Tianming's confident smile, the scholar himself didn't even dare to think further!

Chen Tianming had control over the Bogu Corridor's permissions and could let anyone in at any time.

What if the outside world also had demonic beasts that could flatten everything!

What if the outside world had weapons that could level mountains and rivers without the need for cultivators to operate them…

Could this Small World still be preserved then!

Indeed, the well-informed scholar also had his suspicions about this matter.

However, Chen Tianming had already made predictions before the scholar even had his guesses.

In the outside world, Chen Tianming couldn't say he was as rich as a nation, but at least he had some influence.

The money in his pocket couldn't buy the strongest large nuclear bombs of the current era.

But at least getting a few warheads wasn't a problem.

Anyway, this was the Small World.

There was no need to worry about warheads exploding and producing radioactive elements before they could even react, unlike the outside world.

Chen Tianming only needed to find a suitable spot to detonate a warhead, and everything around it would be quiet.

Besides these, Chen Tianming also brought many good things.

According to his plan, within half a month, everything would start operating normally.

At that time, both inside and outside the Small World would revere him.

Sure enough.

Under Chen Tianming's coercion and inducements, the few officials present finally compromised.

"Good! Since our lives can be spared, we are willing to cooperate with you!"

Chen Tianming patted the person's shoulder.

"Don't worry, I won't hold your past mistakes against you. As long as you work diligently for me now, you will definitely not lack benefits!"

Upon hearing that there might be future benefits, these officials stopped arguing.

Instead, they all began their actions.

First, someone came to seek peace with Chen Tianming.

But Chen Tianming did not want this attitude.

He pushed the person who came flying with a palm, and sat coldly on the chair.

Among the bureaucrats, there were inevitably sycophants who scurried over.

Only then did Chen Tianming offer a smile.

But as soon as he heard that this person had vast wealth but was unwilling to share even a little with the common people, Chen Tianming's face immediately darkened, and he ordered his men to send him away.

The cultivators saw that their employer had become a lapdog, and they all conceded.

Some were willing to hand over their magic treasures and spirit stones, just to quickly leave this cursed place.

However, after Chen Tianming collected their belongings, he did not immediately let them go.

Instead, he asked in a very seductive voice.

"Don't you want revenge?"

"For so many years, living under others, as cultivators, yet having to be thugs for ordinary people, you must have felt wronged!"

Chen Tianming's words resonated with all the cultivators present.

But those insidious and cunning officials felt a little uneasy when they heard this.

"What do you mean! My retainers have never been mistreated!"

Chen Tianming shook his head and sighed.

"Who said I was talking about you? The reason for this problem lies above!"

Everyone looked up.

Chen Tianming, however, pulled a cultivator and explained to him.

"Think carefully, if your cultivation place hadn't been forcibly occupied by others, would you have fallen to the point of being a doorman for ordinary people?"

The person immediately shook his head, his head like a rattle-drum.

Then Chen Tianming pulled another person.

"And you, if your sect could evenly distribute heavenly treasures and earthly materials to you, would you now be threatened by me, a mere Qi Refinement stage cultivator? You would have long since established your foundation and ascended, perhaps already becoming an immortal!"

Chen Tianming's words were very seductive.

These guys became more and more excited the more they listened.

Each of them felt that they were truly chosen by heaven and should not have their luck exploited by those from the Three Great Sects.

Meanwhile, the scholar watched Chen Tianming's terrifying ability, unsure whether to shake his head or nod.

In just a few minutes, Chen Tianming had actually turned a group of enemies into allies for his own use!

Chen Tianming even told them.

"Soon, I will march to Tianling Peak, take down the Three Great Sects, and restore peace to the entire cultivation world!"

Everyone present believed him implicitly.

Those officials voluntarily offered up all the power in their hands.

This matter spread like wildfire.

Soon, the name Chen Tianming rapidly spread throughout the lower realm of the entire Small World.

His disciples quickly reached over ten thousand.

Among them were many cultivators who felt they had been bullied.

Chen Tianming led his disciples, gradually gathering towards Tianling Peak.

It felt like a mountain king leading his little demons, preparing to attack a spiritual mountain.

Such a large display immediately attracted the attention of the sect on Tianling Peak.

An old man with the air of an immortal, riding a sika deer, slowly approached Chen Tianming.

He immediately formed a hand seal and bowed.

"Little friend! What brings you to my Tianling Peak?"

Chen Tianming didn't give the other party any chance for wishful thinking.

He pointed at the old man's nose.

"Hmph! I'm here to flatten this mountain!"

The old man was stunned upon hearing this.

After a moment of stunned, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Flatten Tianling Peak? You mean… you, a Qi Refinement stage cultivator, leading a group of ordinary people… oh! There are indeed one or two Foundation Establishment cultivators!"

"You plan to flatten Tianling Peak with them?"

Chen Tianming immediately waved his hand at the old man and said with a cold laugh.

"Old comrade! You misunderstood, I never thought of letting this group of people flatten Tianling Peak!"

Only then did the old man stroke his beard contentedly.

Unexpectedly, Chen Tianming paused and then continued.

"I said I alone can flatten your entire Tianling Peak!"
