Practice begins with collecting character cards

Chapter 273 Xianlin Town

Tang Hongtian looked at his reshaped body with disbelief in his eyes.

At this moment, not only had a large number of injuries on his body been almost healed, but his physical strength was also far stronger than before.

He even looked as if he was several dozen years younger. Both his face and body looked like that of a middle-aged man in his 50s or [-]s, without many wrinkles and skin tags.

"This"

He never expected that not only did Xu Guan not lie to him, but the power he gave him was actually much more powerful than he expected!
"Is this a curse? Are you a demon?!" Tang Hongtian looked down at the curse mark on his heart and suddenly said.

As a strong master, he naturally knows the curse marks on the demons, which are the source of their power.

He also recognized that Xu Guan's power came from this curse seal.

"It's true that this is the power of curses, but I am not a demon. Besides, who said that only demons can master curses?" Xu Guan said with a chuckle.

Tang Hongtian was silent.

In fact, since the existence of evil spirits was discovered, there have been people who have repeatedly studied the terrifying power of evil spirits from ancient times to the present.

But I have never heard of anyone who can completely master the evil spell.

At most, they are like cultists who worship evil spirits, but their curse seals come from the evil spirits themselves, not the power they control.

Just like Tang Hongtian at this moment, he knew very well that the curse seal he possessed originated from Xu Guan, rather than the power that truly belonged to him.

He confirmed that Xu Guan was not a demon, but a human like him.

As for how Xu Guan mastered this spell, he didn't know.

All he knew was that his fate was now firmly bound to the young man in front of him.

If Gu An is allowed to live, he will live. If Gu An is allowed to die, he will not survive.

He sighed secretly, his mood was complicated.

The power of this curse satisfied him, but at the same time he had to face the fact that he was controlled by others.

"Subordinate, pay your respects to your lord."

In the end, Tang Hongtian knew that he was unable to change the status quo, so he finally put down his master status and bowed obediently to Xu Guan.

He officially became Xu Guan's divine servant.

A smile appeared on Xu Guan's face. After struggling for so long, it was finally done.

If nothing else, Tang Hongtian is a genuine master after all.

There are not many strong masters in this world. Now that he can mobilize a strong master, it is very convenient for him.

Even if Xu Guan is not in his own territory in Xianlin Town in the future, a second strong master will be able to take over his place in Xianlin Town, and the security problem will be greatly solved.

This is by no means comparable to those at the innate level.

It can be said that the value of this Tang Hongtian is worth all the subordinates he has recruited before.

"From today on, just forget about your past identity and just concentrate on working for me." Xu Guan said, throwing an iron mask over and letting him wear it.

He wanted Tang Hongtian to make a break with the past. He was no longer the ancestor of the Tang family, but a member of his command.

Tang Hongtian's expression changed and he stopped talking.

Xu Guan knew that he was unwilling to give up, and immediately said: "The Tang family's incense has not been cut off, and it can still continue even without you, and I will allow you to help me secretly in the future.

As for revenge, as long as you make enough contributions by my side and you still have this obsession in the future, I will not stop you. "

He didn't completely ignore Tang Hongtian's thoughts, but still gave him a certain degree of freedom.

This made Tang Hongtian's face relax a little and he felt a little better.

"Today, you should adapt to your new body and my divine spell first, and then make your move tomorrow." Xu Guan said.

The process of planting a curse seal for Grandmaster Tang Hongtian was very taxing on him, so he also needed some time to recover.

At the same time, after Ye Tianyin returned to the Ye family, he immediately entered his waterside pavilion to retreat to recover from his injuries, without even asking too much about the situation of the Ye family.

And the subsequent impact of Tang Bao's seizure of power is not over yet.

Although Suicheng has been saved and the Ye family is still in power and rule, on the other side of the frontline battlefield, Lancheng seems to have received the news and sent more troops to take advantage of the turmoil and chaos in Suicheng to intensify the attack. cut down.

They want to capture Suicheng in one fell swoop!
The Ye family was determined to defend, but at this juncture, they had no time to continue hunting down the Tang family, so they mobilized all their forces to resist the pressure from Lancheng.

The war was extremely intense.

The next day, Xu Guan took the masked Tang Hongtian to his Xianlin Town instead of returning to Suicheng.

That's his new territory.

It is said that he has not seen it in person until he asked Zhang Yang to be responsible for coordinating the construction.

Only during the initial site selection period, he accompanied him once for inspection.

It is still quite far from Suicheng area.

However, both he and Tang Hongtian had the ability to fly, and they reached their destination in less than two days.

It has to be said that the super-high mobility of a strong master is far beyond what ordinary practitioners can compare with.

Therefore, in the stories of the outside world, these powerful masters are like dragons whose whereabouts are difficult to determine.

Xianlin Town is located on the boundary of Jiaochuan.

Since the human race has not developed much of this area, many areas appear to be very primitive and densely covered with jungles.

The separated villages and towns are also quite limited.

According to Zhang Yang's careful investigation, the reason why this place is sparsely populated is said to be because a huge plague broke out here a long time ago.

Too many people died at that time, and even the wild animals were almost extinct.

Out of fear of the plague at that time, coupled with the lack of wild animal resources, people have been afraid to approach this place ever since.

It was not until recent years that many people were forced to flee here due to the war, and it gradually regained its popularity.

Zhang Yang chose this place after he had carefully confirmed that the impact of the plague had long since dissipated over time and was nothing to worry about.

Moreover, the resources here have not been explored and developed for many years, and it is like a rich blue ocean land.

They took the lead and built the first city here. There were almost no competitors who could compete with them.

"This is it." In the sky, Xu Guan saw a huge mountain range from a distance, like a giant dragon coiling around the vast land.

This is Jiaoshan Mountain, one of the landmarks in Jiaochuan territory.

And on the edge of Jiao Mountain, there is a broad river that stretches across thousands of miles with no end in sight.

This is Jiaojiang River and is also one of the landmarks.

The boundary of Jiaochuan got its name from this.

Xu Guan's Xianlin Town is located near the intersection of Jiaoshan Mountain and Jiaojiang River. The products here are the richest. Zhang Yang made the decision after repeated inspections and discussions with Xu Guan.

The future foundation of Xu Guan's forces will be here.

When Xu Guan flew closer, the Xianlin Town appeared in front of Xu Guan's eyes on a plain.

"The progress is pretty good." Xu Guan glanced over, and from a bird's-eye view, the entire construction situation of Xianlin Town could be seen at a glance.

The area occupied is quite large. Judging from the structure of the construction distribution, the town has completed its first expansion and has also enclosed a larger piece of land outside as a second expansion plan.Once the second expansion is completed, it will not be a problem for the entire Linxian Town to accommodate tens of thousands of people. This is already the size of a large town.

After that, the city was officially built in one go.

The current construction speed can only be described as fast.

Four white stone low walls surround the completed town to protect it from the harassment of ferocious beasts in the wild.

Many craftsmen in the outer circle were busy coming and going, and the construction work was in full swing.

When Xu Guan descended from the sky and approached Xianlin Town, two figures suddenly appeared in front of Xu Guan.

"grown ups!"

These two people were none other than Xu Guan's divine servant, Yan Ge's twin spears, Zhao Zhen and Zhao Tie.

The two of them have been staying in the town, acting as security for the town.

"Well, take me to Zhang Yang." Xu Guan nodded.

The surrounding craftsmen were extremely surprised to see the two strong men in the town actually bowing to this strange young man.

You must know that these two strong men can single-handedly defeat an incoming bandit team or a group of ferocious beasts.

Even when facing the most powerful man in town, Mr. Zhang Yang, these two strong men had never been so respectful.

"Is it possible that he is the Original Immortal God that Master Zhang Yang calls him?"

"Probably."

"Except for the legendary Original Immortal Allah, the real owner of Xianlin Town, no one can be treated like this."

"This is a big event, God is back!"

"."

On the construction site, all the craftsmen who saw this scene started talking among themselves.

"Original Immortal God." Xu Gu'an naturally heard these discussions and understood that this was the name Zhang Yang used to promote him to the outside world.

"Forget it, when the city is built in the future, let's call him City Lord." Xu Guan decided in his heart.

He shook his head at that slightly middle-class title.

After entering the white stone wall, Zhang Yang quickly rushed over after hearing the news.

"Sir, you are finally here." Seeing that Xu Guan was safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, the war in Suicheng had been turbulent before, and Xu Guan staying there alone would inevitably worry Zhang Yang.

I was afraid that Xu Guan would be involved in this quagmire.

Fortunately, Xu Guan came back safely and nothing happened.

Thinking like this, Zhang Yang's eyes immediately shifted to Tang Hongtian behind Xu Guan.

"Who is this?"

The main reason is that Tang Hongtian's aura as a powerful master is too strong. Even if he restrains himself, he is like a light bulb in the crowd. It is difficult not to be noticed.

"He is my new servant, just call him Mr. Hong." Xu Guan said.

Now that he had cut himself off from the past, he did not say more about Tang Hongtian's true identity, which would only cause more trouble.

"Hong Lao is very powerful and is a true master. Let him sit here most of the time in the future."

Xu Guan then said something shocking, which shocked Zhang Yang.

"This..." Zhang Yang held it in for a long time and was speechless.

The main reason is that the title of Grandmaster is so loud that even the well-informed Zhang Yang cannot accept it for a while.

Suddenly a strong master joined their forces? !
What's more outrageous is this powerful master or the young master's new servant? !

He knew about the servants. Liang Hong, Zhao Zhen, and Zhao Tie were all Xu Guan's servants.

Now this grandmaster will also join in.

He wanted to ask Xu Guan how he did it, but in the end he came to his senses and did not cross the line and talk too much.

He was just Xu Guan's chief steward, and he couldn't ask any more questions about the young master unless Xu Guan said anything.

"He is my butler. He is in charge of all matters. If I am away from now on, you can discuss anything with him." Xu Guan then introduced to Tang Hongtian.

"I understand." Tang Hongtian nodded silently.

He is also a human being who has lived for hundreds of years. Now that he has accepted the fact of surrendering to Xu Guan, he quickly corrected his attitude and became very sensible.

Basically, he obeyed all Gu An's arrangements for him.

As for the dignity of being a strong master, that kind of thing had already been smashed and cleaned up by Xu Guan before.

"Come on, take me around the town. I haven't seen it properly yet." Xu Guan said with a smile.

Zhang Yang calmed down and began to lead the way for Xu Guan, introducing him verbally.

"Recently, wars have broken out all over the world, and the number of refugees fleeing to our area has also increased significantly. Now, excluding the construction craftsmen brought here, Linxian Town has more than 5000 registered residents, and this number It's still increasing every day.

With the current size of the town, it is already too crowded to accommodate this population, which was a mistake on my part.

I thought that this place was inaccessible and that gathering the population would become a big problem in the future, but I didn’t expect that it would be like this.”

Xu Guan glanced around and saw that there were indeed many people coming in and out of the town, which made the entire constructed town area too small.

But after all, this is only a few months of construction time, so we can't blame Zhang Yang for planning too little.

This fortification is so huge. This is building a town from scratch. It can't be that simple.

"It can be seen how much harm the war has done to ordinary people. There are victims everywhere who have been forced to leave their homes due to the war." Xu Gu'an said calmly.

The root cause of their population surge is still the problem of war.

Zhang Yang nodded. They gathered these refugees, which was actually a good thing.

At least it provides a new place of refuge for these people without having to worry about their bodies being exposed in the wilderness.

“However, the population surge has also greatly increased our labor force and invested it in the construction of fortifications. The subsequent construction speed of the town will be much faster than before.

The town size issue is expected to be resolved next month.

If the resident population continues to increase, I plan to build some temporary residences on the planned land outside the wall to temporarily settle them first, and then allocate housing accommodation later. "Zhang Yang continued, already having an idea in his mind.

"Is the food consumption still enough?" Xu Guan asked.

Zhang Yang nodded.

“Before aware of the problem of population surge, I immediately bought and transported grain through the Chamber of Commerce channels in time.

However, now that wars are occurring frequently, the price of food in various places has skyrocketed, making it increasingly difficult to purchase.

Buying food can only be used as an emergency measure, and ultimately we have to rely on ourselves.

Fortunately, the land in this area is extremely fertile. As long as we get through this cold winter, we can open up fields and grow our own food. "
