Chapter 1459: An I’er (1/2)

Jiang Chen was both swift and efficient With iroup of subordinates with him to Pillfire City that very day

Pillzenith had brought as ainst Veluriya ten had been left behind to hold down the fort

When these glorified sentries heard of what’d happened in Veluriyae left to resist They fled the city before Jiang Chen’s arrival, taking vast a Chen arrived at Pillfire and announced he was taking over, not a single figure of importance was to be found Its commoners tee control of the city, he was quick to push out a series of procedures aiinal principles

At first, the residents of the city and its surrounding poere a bit worried about Veluriyam’s takeover Many of the smaller factions, clans, and vassals also shared this senti Chen would take revenge by looting and sacking Pillfire and its wealth

However, Jiang Chen’s edicts won them over after a while Pillfire under his rule was no worse off than it had been in the past In fact, it was improved in so lord’s rule Moreover, many of the harsh taxes, tariffs, and hteous and honest, a reflection of the youth’s personal nature

After three otten about Pillzenith They preferred the way things currently were There was no exploitation, no pressure, no dictatorial actions…

Jiang Chen ell aware of the strategy his administration had to take If he resorted to brute force rather than diplomacy, he would have been resisted at every turn It was easy enough to oppress a territory’s existing factions, but extremely difficult to brainwash a people

And yet, he had done precisely that through exerting his unique charishout the city Without realizing it, Pillfire beca Chen had listened to Wellspring’s advice about calling up so thereat e cultivators are no less talented than the leading experts of the largest factions The only thing the former lacks is the vast quantity of resources available at the latter’s disposal If you lack in people and are willing to give them some opportunities, they y was perpetually superb

He always saw things fro cultivators into a loose faction rather than have them remain completely separate like a pile of sand

When a wandering cultivator was rain of loose sand, he had the ainst any sect cultivator because he had no backing of his own Oftentimes, he had to s his pride despite abuse and hardshi+p

If the wandering cultivators, especially great eainst the de it for aChen nodded “Old Brother Hui, your perception and level headedness is second to none a brethren”

“Haha, you think too highly of s all the time Even a fool likewas very humble

“No need to sell yourself short, Old Brother Hui There are reat eether just any bunch of experts Because wandering cultivators often travel around, they’ll be the first target for any reawakened demons

“Plus, if a sense of collective honor could be cultivated by gathering the wandering cultivators together, it would be very helpful to the anti-deth and cooperation in numbers is quite potent, no?

“Finally, you are verycultivator world If you oversee thisall the details of this initiative up to you” Jiang Chen had no love for power and authority Quite the opposite in fact: he was perfectly willing to give it up to anyone he saw fit

Wellspring was the kind of person that had theability There was nothing wrong with placing ut full control of Pillfire’s affairs to Wellspring, Jiang Chen journeyed back to Veluriyam This here his roots were There was no reason for hiht of his fareat deal

Though his battle against Pillfire had proved to be trivial, Jiang Chen was very ood the results of a civil ere, that was no cause for happiness
