Chapter 397: Arrangements in Hutou Town
After about half an hour of detailed discussion, Wang Zhifan and his secretary Catherine constructed a preliminary charter for the biological research and business plan, which Catherine will soon present to the Urban Planet Global Parliament in person to gain their support.

With the unparalleled reputation of captain Wang Zhifan today, coupled with the merits of the plan itself and the desire for change from top to bottom on the urban planet, they basically don't have to worry about not getting the plan passed. They only need to consider the various problems that may be encountered after the plan is launched.

But Wang Zhifan didn't have the energy to think about how many problems he would encounter for the time being. He left most of the details to the more professional Catherine. In addition to overall control in the future, he would focus more on providing Gaia products with sufficient potential to scientific research institutions.

So not long after, Wang Zhifan left the urban planet and arrived at his next destination, the fantasy world where the Wuji Sect was located.

As soon as he came into this world, he appeared in Hutou Town, and then used his lightness skills to quickly head to Fengxue Tower on the low hill east of the city.

At this moment, the position of the sun in the sky was exactly noon. When Wang Zhifan came to the outside of Fengxue Tower, he happened to find two young masters from Wuji Sect, Wu Xun and Yang Qingqing, and old Hetou from Juyi Sect talking to each other.

"Mr. He, if the headmaster doesn't come back today, Qingmei and I will interrogate the gang of thieves we caught yesterday. We promise to use our iron fists to make them tell us all the secrets they know!"

Wu Xun, who was agile and heroic, was ready to torture the spies from the Demon Sect that they had captured with his fists. Those people were the ones Wang Zhifan had given them accurate information to capture when he left last time. Now it seemed that they had completed this task very smoothly.

"Wu Hufa, I heard from the people below that the master prefers to deal with spies personally. You should wait a day or two! You have seen the master's methods. Only he can ensure that all spies confess completely..."

Old man He obviously trusts Wang Zhifan who is not present at the moment. After all, Wang Zhifan had uncovered the secrets of the Hutou Demon Sect's spies in no time. His insight was truly amazing and no one else could compare to him.

"Hey! The master is back!"

Without waiting for Wu Xun to answer, Yang Qingqing, who was tall and proud, turned around and saw Wang Zhifan appear outside the door, and reminded the two of them.

As a result, the discussion inside Fengxue Tower immediately changed. Everyone turned to Wang Zhifan to ask how to deal with the captured Demon Sect spies.

When Wang Zhifan learned of the wishes of the two young masters of the Wuji Sect, he immediately agreed to their request.

"Since the two guardians want to practice, I'll leave it to you. However, these spies have a relatively low status in the Demon Sect, so it will be difficult for you to get useful information..."

After reminding the two to be mentally prepared, Wang Zhifan let them do it. He guessed that they just wanted to try something new. They had never had the opportunity to torture the Demon Sect's spies in Wuji Mountain before, and now they wanted to have a taste of it.

"Thank you, Master!"

"Thank you, Master!"

After hearing this, Wu Xun and Yang Qingqing immediately left quickly and headed for the back mountain, leaving Wang Zhifan to start finding out with Old He about the situation in Fengxue Tower when he was away.

"Master, yesterday our three groups of people followed your instructions and captured all the spies from the Demon Sect... Although the people in Hutou Town were a little panicked, they also knew your determination to fight against the Demon Sect. Some people who had been harmed by the Demon Sect and had nowhere to seek justice applauded... Now the situation in the town is stable. The market opened smoothly under the protection of our people, and there are also merchants from other places rushing to settle in..."

Old He talked about the aspects that Wang Zhifan was more concerned about. He said that both Fengxue Tower and Hutou Town under its control were currently recovering in an orderly manner. All this was attributed to Wang Zhifan's thundering means of cracking down on the forces of the Demon Sect, which allowed this place that had been devastated by the Demon Sect to return to the right track.

"Well... from now on, you must pay more attention to maintaining the stability of Hutou Town and not interfere with the normal lives of the people... Especially without my instructions, unless you are absolutely sure that it is the Demon Sect that has appeared, you must not mobilize a large number of people like you did yesterday, so as not to make the people of Hutou Town panic..."

The request Wang Zhifan put forward here seems a bit too harsh. In fact, he knows that it is difficult for his men to find the hidden spies of the Demon Sect. Instead of wasting energy, it is better to let him handle this task. Anyway, once he uses the Book of Destiny to calculate, the spies will be exposed directly, and his men can devote themselves to the relatively simple work of maintaining law and order.

In addition, he made such arrangements for what he was going to do later, which was to provide a safe soil for the spread of faith.

Soon, after explaining things to Old He, Wang Zhifan left Fengxue Tower again and went to Hutou Town to check whether all the conditions for his plan were met here.

First, he observed the economic development of Hutou Town and found that both the building conditions and population size were obviously inferior to those of Pingwu City managed by the Wuji Sect. Most of the people on the streets wore ordinary cloth clothes, and few wore gorgeous silks. From time to time, you could encounter some pale-faced beggars. Although it could not be called a refugee town, it was not much better.

"The people's living standards are low. As long as we do a little bit of good things for them, we should be able to gain some shallow followers... Besides, small places are not easy to attract attention. And they are under my management, so they are a very good starting point..."

After pondering for a while, Wang Zhifan decided to formally launch his plan and allow the belief in Tianzun to begin and develop in this world.

All this requires a reliable helper. Wang Zhifan had already arranged for the other party to come. It was a village girl who had just arrived here from Pingwu City by carriage a few hours ago. She was his only true believer at present.

Through his mysterious connection with the believers, Wang Zhifan learned that the village girl was currently sleeping and resting in a small inn. Because she was tired from traveling, she planned to go out in the afternoon to spread her faith.

"Although this woman doesn't have much brains or ability, she has a firm belief. I only gave her an 'oracle' and she came here alone without hesitation. It seems that I have to give her something good to establish her identity..."

Wang Zhifan used to look down on this village girl, but now he understands that it is difficult for him to directly trick capable people into becoming believers. Only those with simple minds are loyal enough. Although she is relatively lacking in ability, she makes up for it by being obedient and hardworking. She still has some value.

So while the village girl believer was sleeping in the inn, Wang Zhifan used the power of the Great Dream Sword Sutra to break into her dream, and still appeared in the guise of the white-bearded old man.

"The Lord of Heaven... feels your faith... grants you... something to protect... spread the gospel... the Holy Tower will appear... and let the world know..."

This time, Wang Zhifan conveyed a lot of information to this believer in the dream, and told her the operation process in detail, leaving her no room for misunderstanding. First, he affirmed the believer's faith and strengthened her confidence.

Then, he gave her the physical object she needed at the moment, using a demon scroll to teleport it directly to her bedside.

Specifically, these two items are some silver and an excellent-level prop. The silver is the activity fund bestowed upon her by Tianzun, and the prop is used to enhance her strength and status.

Then Wang Zhifan used his avatar to directly tell her what to do, such as using silver to buy some food to help the poor on the streets and taking the opportunity to spread faith to them, such as always wearing the props given by the Heavenly Venerable on her body, and when someone threatens her, this prop will automatically attack and punish the other party.

Finally, Wang Zhifan painted a big picture for her and the believers, saying that the holy tower built by Tianzun was about to come to the world, and only Tianzun’s believers could enter the holy tower, withstand the tests set by Tianzun, and thus obtain various treasures bestowed by Tianzun.

All the information is a bit complicated to explain, but it can actually be summarized in a few short sentences. Wang Zhifan was afraid that the village girl would forget it, so he asked the old man with white beard to repeat it several times in her dream. When she remembered it clearly, he would wake her up quickly.

So on the morning of that day, when Liu Erya, a poor village girl who believed in a certain deity, woke up from her small bed in the inn, she found some extra items on her bedside, some of which were mentioned by the messenger of the deity in her dream.

She was not very surprised by this scene. After all, it was not the first time she had witnessed the true power of Tianzun. So she immediately thanked Tianzun and started to act quickly.

First, she put away the large amount of silver bestowed upon her by the Heavenly Master, and took out only a small portion for shopping. Then, she put the three slightly strange-looking "short weapons" given to her by the Heavenly Master as protective objects around her waist.

These three weapons are actually a set, which are mass-produced excellent weapons produced by the Black Tower owned by Wang Zhifan, called "Magic Shadow Darts".

The reason why Wang Zhifan thinks this set of weapons is suitable for her is because they all have the ability to attack automatically. The principle is that there is a magic shadow in each dart. The magic shadow has special abilities and can also control the darts to autonomously attack the invading enemies. The efficiency is very high, otherwise it would not live up to the excellent grade.

"In this way, as long as she doesn't encounter a particularly strong enemy, she can rely on the magic shadow dart to protect herself. At the same time, she can show some of the majesty of the Sky Lord, so that the people will believe in the faith she spreads more... When she spreads the matter of the Holy Tower, the number of my believers should usher in an explosion..."

Wang Zhifan has been preparing for the spread of his faith for quite some time. He has reason to believe that his faith will be on the right track. Regardless of whether the village girl's behavior meets expectations or not, he will persist in going forward.

After arranging things here, he immediately returned to Fengxue Tower to see how Wu Xun and Yang Qingqing were interrogating the Demon Sect's spies.

In fact, he had been observing the behavior of the two people from beginning to end, that is, he sent a clone of Mengwo to hide in the stone and soil to secretly follow them. It was not that he did not trust the two righteous young men, but he wanted to use the clone to collect some data and add a few more local models to his black tower.

And just as he expected, he soon saw through his clone that the interrogation methods of the two Wuji Sect disciples were very unprofessional. They were not interrogating at all, but treating those spies as combat opponents, torturing them by pitting two people against many, hoping to force them to surrender by force.

"The practice of Wuji Jinshen Gong seems to involve a stage of constant resistance and tempering... Do the two of them want to practice the technique while completing the interrogation?"

Wang Zhifan came up with this guess not long after observing with the help of his clone, and then he was happy with it. He used his clone to record their interrogation process and constructed a new model.

As for why he came to find these two people later, it was naturally not because he was bored, but to convey to them the future management policy of Hutou Town and prevent them from interfering with his plans.

“You two, I just conducted a secret search in the town and I can confirm that we have temporarily captured all the spies from the Demon Sect. Hutou Town will enter a stage of recuperation from now on.

Unless you encounter someone from the Demon Sect committing crimes in the streets, you should never start a large-scale fight outside. Ordinary people really cannot afford it.

As for outsiders, don't act rashly even if you suspect they are colluding with the Demon Sect. Hutou Town must remain stable for a while in order to recover. I will personally deal with the minions of the Demon Sect on a regular basis."

Wang Zhifan's words left the two aspiring young men from the Wuji Sect speechless, because if they followed what he said, they would basically only be able to lie down and retire here, and they would not have many opportunities for actual combat, so it would certainly be difficult to improve their cultivation.

Wu Xun immediately retorted:

"Master, we know that you are the best at catching the spies of the Demon Sect, but now that everything has been handed over to you, what else can we do? We can't just hang around the streets every day, right? You might as well go back to Wuji Mountain to practice!"

Yang Qingqing, who was standing by, had similar thoughts and said that it was difficult for her to accept such an arrangement. She even said a little angrily:

"If the leader thinks that the two of us can't play much of a role here, we are willing to leave Hutou Town."

The reactions of the two were not much different from what Wang Zhifan expected. After all, they stayed here to make progress, and it was impossible to waste time.

To satisfy them generally requires Wang Zhifan to give them some guidance on cultivation, so that they feel that they are gaining something here every day.

But Wang Zhifan has no plans to do so at present. Although he is much stronger than them, the systems are quite different and it is a bit difficult to give them instructions. His choice is to give them something to do.

"You two, although I hope that the matter of eliminating the enemies of the Demon Sect will be handled by me, you can do the investigation if you want. In many cases, fighting is not the most difficult part of eliminating the enemy. Finding the location of the enemy's lair is the most critical. These things involve a lot of knowledge. You can thoroughly investigate the traces of the Demon Sect in Hutou Town, but please be sure to hide and don't easily alert the enemy..."

Wang Zhifan's arrangement seems ordinary, but it actually contains profound meaning.
