I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 2038: Chapter 974: Doushuai Eight Scenery Lamp, Five Extreme Heavenly Heart Pendant (8k) (Part 5)

Several times, the loose cultivators from East Wu have caused trouble, even going so far as to commit murder and robbery secretly.

In response, the Five Elements Sect naturally would not be lenient. Fortunately, currently stationed at Stormy Immortal City is Mo Douguang. He personally executed three Foundation Establishment practitioners from East Wu, hanging their heads at the city gate, immediately calming the situation.

“How absurd, treating East Wu as their homeland, when faced with an external enemy, they just flee…”

Chen Mobai was very dissatisfied upon hearing this.

If East Wu were easily conquered, the Eastern Wilderness would face the Demon Path and the myriad demons of the Desolate Sea directly, which would certainly not be good for the Five Elements Sect.

Luckily, those great families still showed some sense.

“…In fact, the biggest families in East Wu have already sent their core disciples to Northern Abyss City. Not just East Wu, but similar situations are happening with the East Barbarians too, with most flocking to our sect’s Bright Mirror Immortal City. The sixteen Golden Core forces have come to Northern Abyss City, buying properties like mad, preparing for retreat, which has driven the housing prices up once again.”

E Yun spoke again, and Chen Mobai felt that the locals truly lacked resolve.

The Demon Path and Demon Tribe haven’t even landed yet, and they’re already arranging for escape routes.

“Call over the representatives of the major East Wu families at Northern Abyss City, I’ll personally explain the stakes to them.”

Chen Mobai thought for a moment, feeling that East Wu might lack confidence in territorial defense. After all, the best they have are Golden Core Cultivators, so he deemed it necessary to give them some confidence.

In critical moments, even the Five Elements Sect could personally lead a cultivator army into East Wu to help them fight demons and protect their homeland!

“Sect Master Chen, we also want to defend our homeland, but our strength is insufficient. This is not a battle against the Cloud Dream Marsh Monster, but against the Demon Path and the myriad demons of the Desolate Sea, who have Nascent Soul Cultivators…”

“Yes, yes, our family’s patriarch has already led the family elite and the ten ancestral treasure ships to patrol the coastline, but how long can we hold on?”

“Although our few families are the most renowned in East Wu, combined, there are only tens of thousands of cultivators. On the border, tens of thousands of East Wu loose cultivators have fled to Yun Meng Ze and even to your sect’s Stormy Immortal City. If these loose cultivators unite with us, perhaps we could form a powerful war array to resist the Nascent Soul Cultivators!”

“Those minor family’s cultivators are even less dependable, escaping faster than the loose cultivators.”

…

The representatives of East Wu’s Eight Great Families in Northern Abyss City were still full of grievances after hearing what Chen Mobai had to say, even though they were glad that the Five Elements Sect was willing to support them.

For them, even if they managed to escape to the Eastern Wilderness, all the spirit vein bases, mineral veins, and other accumulated assets from thousands of years would be lost and end up as resources for the enemies.

So even knowing they were trying to stop a chariot with bare arms, they united to build the mightiest treasure ship fleet on the Desolate Sea’s coast, forming a war array to defend to the death.

“Is no one from the Sun family here?”

After everyone spoke, Chen Mobai realized that there was no representative from the Sun family, which he was most familiar with, and asked directly.

“Family Head Sun Huanglong led by example, calling upon all our families as an alliance; the forming of the treasure ship fleet on the coastline is mainly thanks to him…”

The speaker was the representative of the Lu family, who in recent years had subtly overtaken the Sun family as the leaders in East Wu. Still, in the face of this war, the Lu family internally split into two factions.

One faction wanted to stay to defend their home, while the other wanted to flee with their assets to the Eastern Wilderness.

The Lu family patriarch was left in a dilemma, wanting both to survive and not to abandon centuries of foundation.

Not only him but the other great families were in similar situations.

But at this time, Sun Huanglong, in his capacity as the former East Wu alliance leader, issued orders and decided to lead the Sun family’s disciples to coexist with East Wu, leading the Sun family’s treasure ship fleet to rush to the Desolate Sea.

With Sun Huanglong’s leadership and encouragement, the remaining Eight Great Families gritted their teeth and decided to fight first.

After all, they knew that the Five Elements Sect would not stand idly by as East Wu fell.

What if, with the support of the Five Elements Sect, they could hold on!

Behind them lay their homes and inherited bases, worth fighting for.

Yet, to avoid total defeat, they still sent people to purchase properties in the Eastern Wilderness, preparing for retreat.

[These East Wu great families still have some blood left in them.]

Chen Mobai was quite pleased after hearing this.

“I understand the matter. Shortly, I will announce a new policy!”

After hearing the complaints from the Eight Great Families, Chen Mobai decided to support them through concrete actions.

Soon, E Yun issued new immigration regulations throughout the Five Elements Sect.

[It is stipulated that foreign nationals with property in the Eastern Wilderness may only have up to five permanent residents per household. All others are considered as on a tourist visa, deported if beyond thirty days.]

[A tourist visa can only be processed a maximum of three times; beyond three, it will be temporarily refused!]

[In cities with ports like Stormy Immortal City and Bright Mirror Immortal City, where no visa was previously required, the policy is canceled as of today. Each foreign national may stay for a maximum of fifteen days, followed by immediate expulsion.]
