Chapter 1538
Gu Chen's words enlightened everyone. The Evil Shark Emperor touched his head and said shamefully. "Leader is indeed thoughtful. If it were me, I would have died of greed."
Fatty Qian laughed awkwardly. Gu Chen was about the same age as him, but he could always think of the key points that others could not think of.
"Uncle Gu, although the Thunder County can cause some trouble for the Xing County, if Daoist Xing acts swiftly and resolutely and unifies the Thunder County in a short period of time, the strength of the Xing County will only become stronger and not weaker. At that time, we will go for wool and come home shorn."
Feng Yaya blinked her eyes and pointed out the wishful thinking in Gu Chen's mind.
"Of course there is such a possibility."
Gu Chen smiled, but his eyes were cold. "So, we have to make sure that the Thunder County we leave behind is just a mess!"
"Then what should we do?" Everyone asked subconsciously.
"First, we will take away all the resources of the Thunder County. We can't leave any valuable treasures for the Xing County."
"Second, there are many prestigious and powerful cultivators in the Thunder County. These cultivators must also be our people. Even if they are not willing to submit to us, we can't let them submit to the Xing County. As long as they don't submit to the Xing County, it will be impossible for the Xing County to absorb so many worlds in the Thunder County in a short time! "
Gu Chen said with certainty. When he discussed with Wu Ming, they had considered all aspects.
"On the surface, the people in the Thunder County have submitted to us, but who knows if they have other intentions. Also, there are 455 cultivators in the Chi County. If we take them all in, it will be a big project. Leader, have you thought about it? "The Dwarf Emperor asked with concern.
According to the leader, they did not want the territory of the Thunder County, but they wanted the people. By then, the number of their companions would increase a lot.
Once there were more people, the situation would become more complicated. If there were spies in the organization, the result would be disastrous.
"We need to expand our companions, but only the elites. It's not the number, but the quality!"
Gu Chen's eyes lit up. "I've discussed it with Wu Ming. Let's gather the cultivators you like first. Then, we'll carry out various assessments. Only those who pass the assessment are qualified to join us. By the way, from today onwards, our organization will be called Tyrant County! "
"Ba Jun?"
All the companions looked at each other, and their eyes quickly revealed the light of excitement.
This group of people had gathered together and risked their lives for so long. Now, they finally had a name that could be publicized to the outside world!
The two words' Tyrant County 'were enough to show their ambition and strength!
"Leader, are we going to treat the cultivators from Chi Prefecture and Thunder Prefecture differently?" Formless Woman asked curiously.
"There's no need for that. From now on, only Ba Jun has to understand this," Gu Chen replied coldly.
Everyone nodded, but Fatty Qian still had some doubts and asked. "Boss, what should we do with the cultivators who didn't pass the test and the ordinary soldiers who didn't catch our eye?"
"Just let the normal soldiers go. As for the cultivators who can't pass the test or are unwilling to take the test, place the Life and Death Restriction in their minds to completely cut off the possibility of them joining the Xing County."
Gu Chen said resolutely.
In this way, the Xing County would not be able to use these people to integrate the Thunder Prefecture, and their existence would in turn cause trouble for the Xing County.
If the Tyrant County needed these people one day, they could even use them again!
This method completely disregarded the feelings of the cultivators from Chi Prefecture and Thunder Prefecture. However, the winner takes all, and the loser is always in the wrong. Gu Chen was not naive enough to care about everyone's feelings.
He did not choose to kill those who couldn't pass the test, because he was abiding by his own principles.
Under the arrangement of Gu Chen, the companions soon split up.
They looked for the cultivators they liked among the countless cultivators in the Ruins of Star Sea, and then told them about the test.
There were only two ways for the cultivators they liked: to take the test, or to be placed under the Life and Death Restriction.
This project was very complicated. To ensure that the plan was carried out in an orderly manner, Gu Chen and his companions temporarily excluded the cultivators from Chi Prefecture, so that they could help to guard the prisoners with peace of mind.
The cultivators from Chi Prefecture soon learned that the Tyrant and his companions were going to test the cultivators from Thunder Prefecture, but most of them were not worried. Instead, they were secretly happy.
The cultivators from Thunder Prefecture needed to take the test, but they didn't. Did this mean that they had already gained the trust of the Tyrant?
With this idea in mind, the cultivators from Chi Prefecture did their best to help stabilize the situation.
Many of them even imagined that when the Tyrant obtained the entire Thunder Prefecture, they would also rise to the top and obtain extremely high status and benefits.
Thinking of how powerful the King of Thunder and Lightning of Thunder Prefecture used to be, many rogue cultivators became excited!
They had no idea that in the eyes of the Tyrant, they were no different from the cultivators from Thunder Prefecture.
They were only forced to rely on Gu Chen because of the situation. How could they be compared with the companions who had fought side by side with Gu Chen from the beginning?
The plan to select suitable cultivators from the cultivators from Thunder Prefecture took three days. Three days later, when the cultivators from Thunder Prefecture were confirmed to take the test, Gu Chen and his companions surrounded the cultivators from Chi Prefecture!
"Tyrant, what's the meaning of this?"
Elder Xiao looked at Gu Chen with a solemn expression while Ruan Yuhuan seemed a little flustered.
There were a total of 455 cultivators from Chi Prefecture present, but in front of the Tyrant and his companions, they seemed to be lacking in confidence.
"What goes around comes around."
Xiao Haimei and Xiao Qingxuan both decided to take part in the test. At this moment, they were in the group and could not help but gloat when they saw the arrogant cultivators from Chi Prefecture suddenly abandoned by the Tyrant.
"What a scary guy."
Looking at the overbearing Gu Chen not far away, Dharmaraja Qing Cang muttered to himself.
He did not want to be put under the Life-and-Death Restriction because it meant that he would never be able to advance further in his life.
No Dao Lord broke through while being enslaved.
Therefore, he could only choose to board the Tyrant's boat, even if he was still resentful.
He saw the cultivators from Chi Prefecture go from joy to sorrow with his own eyes, and he had a more comprehensive understanding of Gu Chen's skills and terrifying mind.
He was not someone to be trifled with. It seemed like a coincidence that Thunder Dao Lord was defeated by him, but it was actually inevitable.
"Fellow Daoist Xiao, Left Emissary Ruan, everyone, I'm sorry."
Gu Chen looked down at the 455 cultivators from Chi Prefecture, his face expressionless.
"If you want to get something in this world, you have to pay the corresponding price. The Tyrant Prefecture does not accept useless people, so you have to take part in the test just like the people from Thunder Prefecture.
"Also, if you think that you can get a bunch of benefits from Thunder Prefecture by following me, then you're dreaming.
"I don't intend to take Thunder Dao Lord's territory. If you follow me, you'll only follow me. I can't guarantee you power or anything, but there will be a lot of bloodshed waiting for you in the future.
"If you've thought it through, then take the test together. If you're unwilling, then accept the Life-and-Death Restriction like the other cultivators from Thunder Prefecture, and I'll let you go."
