Chapter Two Hundred and Forty Eight – The Problem of Settlement
When Lei Peng and the others returned, Zuo Mo was discussing the construction plans of the city with the three people. Never having participated in building a city before, Zuo Mo was extremely interested. Also, the newly built city was of extremely important in his plan.
To the three people, a strong village that could defend against a jindan was something they had never done before. They were extremely interested. As to the feasibility of the plans due to the high difficulty? That was Boss’ problem. They were only in charge of designing it.
“What is the use of this beacon tower?” Zuo Mo pointed at the plans and asked.
“It is primarily to give warning to allies. Other than that, it can contain twenty xiuzhe. Its ling shield can protect xiuzhe. Xiuzhe standing on the top do not have to worry about the attacks of the enemy.”
“But don’t you think it is too small?”
“It can hold twenty people, it is not small.”
“Small, it’s too small. At the very least, it needs to be able to hold fifty xiuzhe. That way, it has offensive power. Also, we don’t need that fire altar. We only have one city, we don’t need to give anyone warnings.”
“Without the fire altar, is it still a beacon tower?”
“We can give it another name. What about Sword Pavilion, how do you guys feel about it?” Zuo Mo asked with interest.
The three were wordless.
Zuo Mo clearly had not finished speaking his thoughts. “Your plans are pretty good, but it is too conservative. Pure defense cannot stop the attacks of the enemy. Jindan recover ling power faster than us. If he can’t defeat us the first day, he’ll come back the second day. If he continues to attack for a dozen days or a month, do you feel we can stop him?”
The three were speechless again.
One person argued, “If a jindan attacks a city, there’s no city in Little Mountain Jie that can stop him.”
“There wasn’t one before, but there will be one soon.” Zuo Mo looked at the other, and then added, “If there isn’t one when it’s time, we will all die.”
The three instantly started to sweat, feeling hopelessness. Heavens, who had Boss offended? Wait! Jindan! A person flashed across their minds, Clear Sky Old Forefather! There was only one jindan xiuzhe in Little Mountain Jie.
“Clear Sky Old Forefather?” a person asked in a trembling voice.
Zuo Mo smiled and said, “Your guess is so accurate.”
The three’s faces turned ashy. Zuo Mo’s smile was so evil in their eyes, more evil than a demon. They were extremely regretful. Before, their lives were poor, but at least they wouldn’t be at risk for losing their little lifes.
“Okay, everyone,” Zuo Mo clapped his hands, “cheer up. I know you are the same as me, you don’t want to die. So cheer up. Use your strongest imagination and give the most plausible plan.”
One person looked soulless, but he managed to keep his composure. “Boss, you can’t defend against a jindan.”
“Then what do we do?” Zuo Mo spread his hands and asked.
This person bit out, “If we can’t defend, maybe we can try to kill him!”
“You’re crazy!” The other two people yelled.
“Continue.” Zuo Mo was shocked inside, and gave a surprised expression.
This person’s face was white, but this eyes flashed with an insane light. “Jindan might be strong, but they do have weaknesses. They are too proud, they believe too much in their own strength. They would not care about things that look very dangerous to us. We can make a trap using the city as bait. He may fall for it.”
“It’s not possible. He will see through our disguise.”
“You cannot kill a jindan!”
The other two muttered as though they were dreaming.
Zuo Mo scanned this person and asked, “What’s your name?”
“Yuan Jiang, Boss,” the person answered respectfully.
“From today on, you are the leader of the three of you,” Zuo Mo then said to the other two, “you two will be his assistants. If someone doesn’t listen, hmph hmph. You won’t live if you rebel against a jindan, but if you rebel against me, you won’t have a life now.”
The two people’s faces instantly whitened again, and fell silent.
“Make a new plan,” Zuo Mo said to Yuan Jiang.
“Yes, Boss!” Yuan Jiang said respectfully. He knew that if he was able to grasp this chance, his future prospects were limitless.

Gongsun Cha listened to the people report. Xie Shan stood at the side with an ashamed expression. He knew that he had gone overboard this time. He had exposed himself too early in front of the public. It was not a good thing for them.
“Oh, so it’s like that.” Gongsun Cha raised his head, and gave a shy smile. He said warmly, “No problem.”
Xie Shan’s heart loosened slightly.
“However”
Xie Shan’s heart suddenly rose again.
“Since you guys caused this problem, then you need to wipe your own butts.” Gongsun Cha then seemed to say to himself, “Oh, this is a pretty good chance, can’t waste it.”
No one understood what Lil’ Miss meant in his words to himself.
“Right now, Clear Sky Sect is definitely searching for you. Even though you have covered your tracks very well, but they probably will not have to try so hard to find this place. Your present mission is to stop and disrupt their pursuit.”
Everyone instantly had an excited expression. Wasn’t this another chance to fight?
