Tian Yuan

Chapter 2154 It shouldn’t be like this

To be honest, Chu Mo really wanted to take action at that moment, but fortunately he held himself back, otherwise he would be the one in trouble.

He had never seen anyone as shameless as Chen Qingyuan, who lied with open eyes and had no psychological burden at all. Why wasn't he beaten to death when he was weak before?

Don't argue with shameless people, so as not to get angry.

Chu Mo comforted himself, drank a few glasses of wine in big gulps, swallowed all the irritability in his heart into his stomach and digested it.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

The city was temporarily sealed off, the space was blocked, and the city gates were tightly closed.

The people in the city were in a panic.

Under Song Mang's tough measures, all forces cooperated very well. No matter how much they resisted in their hearts, they had to obey orders on the surface.

Those who refused to cooperate were already dead.

At first, some groups were still talking about the background, their words full of threats, hoping that Song Mang would not take any extreme actions. For such people, Song Mang was too lazy to waste words and directly struck out with his sword, obliterating them.

The Eagle City Lord who was guarding this place has lost his life, yet some people still dare to resist. They really can't understand the situation and are very stupid.

With the lessons learned from the past, the people in the city have completely recognized the reality.

"The number of humans in the city is approximately 3.47 million."

A Nascent Soul stage snake cultivator stood in front of Song Mang, trembling with fear, and reported the situation.

"I want an exact number, not an approximate number."

Song Mang had completely taken control of Linfeng City, his hands stained with the blood of no fewer than a hundred thousand men. Dressed in a gray brocade robe, with white hair and a long beard, he lacked the air of a sage, instead resembling a bloodthirsty beast in human skin. He was fearful to look at, leaving one dreading the thought.

"Yes!"

The snake cultivator's body trembled noticeably, and he didn't dare to object, so he went to do it immediately.

"I'll remind you again, be kind to the human race and don't bully them. If a human dies, you'll understand what it means to live a life worse than death."

Time is running out, and Song Mang is in no mood to use any tactics of combining kindness and severity to control his subordinates. If he finds someone he doesn't like, he will just kill him and replace him with the next one.

There are always people who are afraid of death and will do their best to get things done.

Not long after, the snake monk reported again: "Sir, the total number of humans in the city is 3,478,841..."

In order to save their lives, the snake monks not only counted the specific number of humans this time, but also recorded all men, women, young and old in a book, and even divided each age group. The content was very detailed.

"Yeah." Song Mang nodded with satisfaction.

The snake monk felt as if he had been pardoned because he was not scolded. He secretly wiped the cold sweat from his face and was glad that his life was saved.

After finishing his work in the city, Song Mang returned to the street where Liuxinju was located.

Today, Liuxinju has been razed to the ground and the surrounding area is in ruins.

Song Mang stood straight, and while waiting, he looked back on the first half of his life, which was far less exciting and carefree than the past few days.

A single pill allowed him to break through two realms. This was unheard of before, and could be considered a miracle, something not supposed to exist in this world.

This young man must be a true immortal who has descended to the mortal world.

Song Mang's awe of Chen Qingyuan is beyond words.

Song Mang couldn't help but think of Chu Mo who came with Chen Qingyuan. He didn't know his name and had never spoken to him, so he seemed very mysterious.

That person can walk side by side with Master Chen, so he must be an important figure.

Just as Song Mang was lost in thought, a figure quietly appeared beside him.

"Well done."

Chen Qingyuan came and saw Songmang's performance in the past few days and began to praise him.

Suddenly hearing Chen Qingyuan's voice, Song Mang's body trembled slightly in shock. After reacting, he quickly found the direction of the sound, turned to Chen Qingyuan, and said with a bow, "Sir."

"Take me to see the current situation of the human race."

Chen Qingyuan directly stated his purpose and didn't care about other ethnic groups in the city at all.

"Yes."

Songmang immediately led the way forward.

With the center of the ancient city as the dividing line, the entire northern area was allocated to humans for living, and was managed by monks of various races to ensure order and prevent riots.

Moreover, all human beings have clothes to wear, food to eat, and a place to live.

Many humans still didn't know what had happened. They thought the city masters had come up with some new tricks and were terrified, not knowing what kind of torture they would face after having a few good meals.

There is a high platform in the northern part of the city, rising into the clouds and reaching the sky.

This was built by Song Mang yesterday. With the power of the monks and sufficient materials, it can be completed quickly.

The function of the platform is simple: it allows Chen Qingyuan to stand higher.

Although this platform has no substantial function, Song Mang took this aspect into consideration and worked carefully and not carelessly.

In consideration of Song Mang's dedication, Chen Qingyuan stepped onto this platform.

Standing high above, looking down at all living beings.

With just a glance, Chen Qingyuan saw clearly the current living conditions of the human race.

Human beings no longer suffer from hunger and cold. Compared with the past, it is like heaven, like a dream.

"We should be dying!"

"Eat a few more mouthfuls of food before you die, don't die of starvation."

"My baby was beaten to death a few days ago, so I didn't get to taste something this delicious."

"I heard that some important people came to the city and gathered us here. I don't know what they want to do."

"Maybe they'll treat us as blood food, nourishing us for a while to make our blood and qi more vigorous, and then they'll start refining us."

There was constant noise in every corner of the North City District, with everyone discussing this matter and having different opinions.

On the high platform, Song Mang knelt humbly and said, "Sir, do you have any instructions?"

Chen Qingyuan said nothing, but raised his hand to signal.

Songmang stepped aside, maintaining a bowed posture.

Then, Chen Qingyuan walked to the edge of the platform, looked down, and said solemnly: "Quiet!"

As soon as a word is spoken, the law begins to flow.

Although Chen Qingyuan's voice was not very loud, it could reach everyone's ears. Even the deaf could hear it clearly, reaching their souls.

The millions of human beings who were originally chattering shut their mouths as if struck by lightning, their bodies shook.

It was so silent that you could hear a needle drop.

"The human race shouldn't be like this."

As a fellow human being, Chen Qingyuan couldn't bear it.

These words were like a huge rock, smashing hard into everyone's heart. However, the small splash that had stirred deep within everyone's heart quickly subsided, leaving no more waves.

If it’s not like this, then what should it be like?

For millions of years, the human race has been the lowest class of people, and no matter how hard they struggle, they cannot change this situation.

How could the despair that penetrated deep into one's bones be changed by a single word from Chen Qingyuan?
