“The Martial Ancestor and Tang Sen have started fighting!

When this news returned to the nine-story pagoda in South Ridge’s Beast Valley, the elders who were planning in front of the map immediately furrowed their brows. Even Chief Mi Jin showed a bit of displeasure on his face. Mi Hu was supposed to mediate the war, so why did he get involved?

Only for a moment he thought that Mi Hu must have encountered some difficulties, so he chose to delay the situation by fighting. Nevertheless, having as much as thirty Martial Ancestors stuck on the battlefield greatly hindered Mi Jin’s operations and arrangements. Even if the Tang Clan would voluntarily . cease the war in no more than two days, it would still slow down the Mi Clan’s preparations.

What they need to deal with urgently is the enormous flood that will arrive in a few days. The flood is arriving too suddenly and fiercely, with a speed reaching twenty miles, which means that it can spread over four hundred miles to the northwest of the Lingjiang River in a day. As it proceeds to the northwest, the terrain gets lower and the speed of the flood will get faster. Although two thousand miles sounds far, it can actually be reached in a few days.

Although there is the Wancheng Treasure Ship, an unbeatable sea overlord, the overly large population still can’t all board the ship to escape the flood, not to mention the hundreds of thousands of people in the new city in the south.

These destitute clans are becoming harder and harder to get along with and have serious resentment towards the Mi Clan. It requires quite a lot of force to suppress them. Mi Shen’s method allows the Mi Clan to catch up with the pace of the Tang Clan, but the danger is evident.

These people are called Chengzhou refugees, but in fact, they are middle and small size clans that became destitute because they couldn’t withstand the flood. It’s only that noble families can protect their families in major disasters. As for civilians, most of them don’t even have the right to become refugees. They were washed away by the flood when it first arrived.

That’s why these people were so angry after being deceived into boarding the Wancheng Treasure Ship. Everyone was prepared for new grains to become old grains, but eating animal feed was an insult that they never expected! However, Mi Shen is a capable person after all. He still managed to stabilize several of the strongest Fierce Realm chieftains and then used these chieftains to suppress the clans that were once from Chengzhou.

A hierarchical structure exists everywhere. The rebuilding of the new south city is still a type of ruling model. For the sake of stability, the Mi Family gave up quite a few rights to the divisions of Chengzhou, which barely suppressed the small tribal leaders in the new city. They originally thought that after five years, or ten years of rule and domestication, they could completely subdue these people. But the imminent flood forced Mi Jin to make a tough decision.

The Mi Clan has a considerable amount of grain. If only considering the Mi Clan, it would be enough for ten years, but if you add the hundreds of thousands of people in the new city in the south, the originally abundant food seems inadequate.

Although the merchant fleet has been dispatched to downstream, the nearest few cities are all small ones, and such small cities do not have strong food storage capacity. Moreover, the Tang Clan’s pace of collecting grain in recent years has not stopped, making it more difficult for Clear Water County and Shen Ping City to have any stored grain.

The speed of buying grain on land routes is too slow. By the time the merchant fleet returns, Xiling would probably be flooded. Therefore, Mi Jin can only make a tough choice now.

That is to abandon a part of the people in the new south city. As to who to abandon, he needs to discuss with Mi Shen for a while. But for now, what he has to do is to arrange the evacuation of the Mi Clan’s family members.

“Great Elder, please supervise the heads of the sects to evacuate people to Deer Mountain and Chang Ze Mountain.”

“Second Elder, please organize the merchant team to collect grain from the southern cities. Take nine Martial Ancestors with you!”

“The largest mountain range east of Xiling is Red Cloud Peak. Du Sha of Red Cloud Village is a strong force. Third Elder, you have old relations with Du Sha. Please ensure he is loyal before the flood strikes and mark Red Cloud Mountain as our clan’s territory.”

One after another, orders were issued like flowing water. As the current patriarch of the Mi Clan, Mi Jin’s capability was beyond doubt. He was mustering all his strength to mobilize the colossal body of the Mi Clan, to preserve the maximum strength and take the biggest advantage in the face of natural disaster.

New city in the north, the city hall

As a city built just two years ago, the Tang Clan didn’t invest many resources. Besides the city hall being magnificent, the residences of the hundreds of thousands of people were mostly self-built, which aroused some complaints from the younger generation towards the Tang Clan.

But true decision-makers in the new city understand that the Tang Clan’s approach is normal. Because initially, there was nothing coercive about boarding the Wancheng Treasure Ship; instead, they were asked if they were willing to exchange a city for development and mutual cooperation.

With some doubts, several families faced the vast frozen land of Chengzhou, they could only grit their teeth and board the Tang Clan’s ship, but they were always on guard against the Tang Clan, fearing that they would swallow them. Only upon reaching Xiling did they discover how strong the Tang Clan really was. There were twenty-four Fierce Realms welcoming them. Just as several clans felt they needed to fight a desperate battle, Tang Zhi, the head of the Tang Clan, led them to a desolate land that was only barren soil at that time, left a sentence, and then left.

“This is your territory. The Tang Clan will leave some stewards here. If you need anything, you can ask them.”

Since then, Tang Zhi never visited the new city again. Besides the few stewards who helped arrange the city-building matters, no other upper-level members of the Tang Clan appeared.

It seemed like the Tang Clan’s purpose was just to rescue the refugees from Chengzhou and transport them to Xiling.

But which warriors who can become heads of families are simple-minded? Noble families are a group of jackals chasing interests. Almost none believe that the Tang Clan is selfless and grateful.

But the tribe members who just escaped the disaster can t listen to these words. They have already regarded Xiling as a safe haven. After all, the strength of the Tang Clan really reassures people, especially when this behemoth shows no hostility.

The refugees from Chengzhou started rebuilding their homes. The news received by the Mi Clan said that the Tang Clan managed the new city effectively, even treating the refugees from Chengzhou like their own hands and feet. In fact, this news is not accurate.

Because the Tang Clan never commanded these new city residents. The establishment of the new city depended on them alone.

Houses, streets, farmlands, hospitals, martial arts halls, the Tang Clan did not participate in any planning. The various tribes and departments of Chengzhou quickly found their positions in the new city based on what they were good at. What makes noble families precious is their ability to settle down quickly no matter where they are. Building a city for others and building a city for yourself are completely different concepts. In just half a year, a small new city rose from the ground.

Perhaps happiness came too suddenly. The noble families of Chengzhou were a bit bewildered for a moment. After all, such peaceful development was almost unthinkable in Chengzhou. This made the security team that was established first seem meaningless.

However, the peace also bred the curiosity of the new city residents. Some adventurous young family members slowly extended their tendrils toward the prosperity of Xiling.

They originally thought such actions would cause the dissatisfaction of the Tang Clan. Yet, after the young men returned to the new city after a binge, they found that nothing had happened.
