The extraordinary daily life of people with super powers

"The city lord has just arrived here, so it's better not to start a war rashly."

"Captain Wang, are you worried about me?" Tang Ansheng said with a smile, "It's okay. I can easily fight against opponents of higher levels. I have a reputation as a fighting genius in the sect. Captain Wang, don't worry."

Then Tang Ansheng's eyes sternly said, "As for the unknown people? Humph, they are just some lawless elements. Captain Wang, as officials, we must not bow down to these people."

"..."

Wang Suyan didn’t know what to say. The “official” was here. He really thought he was a high-ranking official and regarded the Huashen Sect as the royal family, right?

Yes, in terms of strength and status, the Huashen Sect is much stronger than the so-called royal family in the mortal world.

But the person below was not an ordinary person, he was also a cultivator. When the cultivator got angry, blood splattered five steps away.

No matter who you are, I will kill you and then hide in an unsafe place. Who can find you?

As for fighting against opponents of higher levels, that's even more of a joke. Can you fight against opponents of higher levels in the foundation-building stage?

Wang Suyan knew that there were some geniuses in the Huashen Sect who could defeat the Foundation Establishment Sect through Qi training, and even kill the opponent, but such a genius was definitely not a city lord who was sent here.

"But Captain Wang, you did remind me."

"What?" Wang Suyan frowned and her heart suddenly tightened.

Has this city lord come up with some terrible idea again?

Tang Ansheng looked around and said, "There are too many unknown people in this Faceless City. I plan to conduct a population census in three days and give each person a number."

"This number is equivalent to an identity certificate. If there are any problems in the future, we will have a basis for investigation, which is more convenient."

Ha ha!

Haha!

I'm not crazy!

Wang Suyan felt that she was not crazy.

This numbering is even more chaotic than the taxation. The taxation will at most offend the big families and forces in the city, but it is not a big deal for the common people at the bottom, because no matter who comes, they have to pay taxes.

But this number will directly offend everyone in the city.

"City Lord, this... isn't a good idea... right? Most of us who practice cultivation are accustomed to being free. If we force people to register with numbers, it might cause opposition." Wang Suyan said carefully.

"Well, what you said makes sense, so I gave them three days to adjust their mood. Am I very empathetic?"

Wang Suyan didn’t understand the word “empathy”, but she knew that once this order was given, not only would the city lord be doomed, but she, the captain of the patrol team, would also be doomed.

Why did the sect send a madman this time?

As Wang Suyan was thinking about this, she suddenly noticed that everything Tang Ansheng said happened three days later. Is there anything special about these three days?

"Oh, forget it. It's useless no matter how special it is." Wang Suyan's thoughts turned a thousand times. "This city lord has just arrived. I guess he wants to make a big move as a new official and use his old tricks in Faceless City."

"Even if I told him about the consequences, he would just think I was scaremongering and would not turn back until he hit a wall."

If it were any other place, Wang Suyan would just let the other party hit the wall and then turn back, but this is the Faceless City, and there is a cliff behind the wall. If he hits the wall, he will fall directly down, with no chance to turn back.

Wang Suyan thought to herself, "If the city lord still doesn't change his mind after three days, I can only knock him out and lock him up in the yard."

As a foundation-building cultivator, she is not just an ordinary foundation-building stage, but has already entered the second stage of foundation-building. At this level, she is considered a master and can easily knock out a Qi training stage cultivator.

As her mind was turning, Tang Ansheng was naturally thinking as well, "Three days should be enough for me to set up the Nine Bends Formation of the Demon Subduing Blood Sea."

"When the time comes, we will set up this formation throughout the city, using the Xuanshui flag as the center of the formation to create a perfect nest."

"As long as they are not in the Nascent Soul stage, even if they are in the Golden Core stage, they will all be beheaded."

The two of them were walking on the street, each with their own thoughts.

Logically speaking, Tang Ansheng is a foreigner with a strange face, which would easily arouse the vigilance of the people around him.

Wang Suyan was the captain of the patrol team, so she attracted more attention. However, both of them were monks, and under the guidance of their spirits, ordinary people pretended not to see them.

The two walked and walked, not knowing where they were.

"Captain Wang, where is this?" Tang Ansheng asked, pointing to a remote street.

Looking from the outside, it was dirty and messy inside, with many ragged people standing, sitting, or even lying on the ground sleeping.

As the captain of the patrol team, Wang Suyan grew up in the Faceless City and was very familiar with everything in the Faceless City. She knew where they were and said,

"City Lord, this is the slum street of Faceless City. Many people with hard lives live here."

"They basically live on begging. Although there is relief in the city, it doesn't help."

Wang Suyan said seriously, with no expression changing, as if she was used to it.

"Well, it really makes me sad that such a place still exists under the jurisdiction of our dignified Huashen Sect."

Tang Ansheng was furious and said, "It must be the big families and big forces in the city that are making it impossible for them to survive."

His expression didn't seem fake, which made Wang Suyan admire him a little.

How many monks are used to being superior and never treat ordinary mortals as human beings.

When Wang Suyan first learned about Slum Street, she was as angry as Tang Ansheng. She couldn't believe that there were people in the world who wore such shabby clothes and couldn't even afford a meal.

But as she grew older and saw more and more things, she no longer had the same enthusiasm for these things.

It’s not that I don’t care, but I’m numb.

She also figured it out. There was just one slum street in Wumian City alone. So how many poor people should there be in the entire Huashen Sect, which had such a large sphere of influence?

How many people die of starvation and disease every year due to various disasters?

Even the Huashen Sect couldn't handle these things, let alone her, a mere patrol team captain.

"Let's go and have a look somewhere else." Tang Ansheng said, and then walked outside.

This neat and swift action made Wang Suyan a little confused, "City Lord, don't you want to go in and take a look?"

"Look? Just looking won't solve the problem." Tang Ansheng shook his head.

"The city lord doesn't blame me?"

Logically speaking, before the new city lord came, Wang Suyan was the official ruler of Wumian City, and she should be held responsible for these problems.

"The ice is three feet thick, and it didn't freeze overnight." Tang Ansheng said, "Captain Wang is alone and can't solve all the problems. I understand."

Tang Ansheng looked at her and said, "It doesn't matter. Now that I'm here, Captain Wang will naturally have someone to rely on. Just leave these matters to me."

Wang Suyan saw affirmation and perseverance in Tang Ansheng's eyes.

It was hard for her to believe that a guy in the Qi training stage could have such a look that shocked her to her core.

For the first time, Wang Suyan felt that besides her master, there was such a good person in the world.

"I understand. Thank you, City Lord."

"I don't know what happened to the city lord that brought you to this Faceless City." Wang Suyan asked.

She suddenly felt a little curious about this strange city lord who called himself "this seat" while he was only in the Qi training stage, and wanted to explore his secrets.

"It's just some small things." Tang Ansheng waved his hand to show that he didn't care. "You know, I used to hold some positions in the prison. Because of some things, I killed a few prisoners."

When Wang Suyan heard this, she knew there was something fishy. It was not necessary to come to this place just to kill a few prisoners.

"Are there any backgrounds among those prisoners?" she asked.

Facing her question, Tang Ansheng thought about it, and then said: "Probably... yes."

In the entire twelve-story prison, some prisoners have some backgrounds, so that’s okay, right?

"Sure enough." Wang Suyan lowered her eyebrows.

Whether it is the Faceless City or the Huashen Sect, they both emphasize personal relationships and social etiquette.

What happened to this world of immortal cultivation?

The city lord, such a good man, actually ended up in such a situation.

Faced with these things, she had little influence and had never experienced them, so she could only listen silently.

However, Tang Ansheng obviously didn't want to talk about these things and quickly changed the subject.

"What is this place?"

"This is South Street, where most ordinary people buy and sell things." Wang Suyan replied.

If the city lord doesn't want to say it, she won't ask.

Her job today is to act as a guide and introduce the entire Faceless City to the city lord.

"Mortal people?" Tang Ansheng thought for a moment and asked, "What is the ratio of monks to mortal people in Wumian City?"

Wang Suyan thought for a moment, then said, "About one to nine. The population of Faceless City is about one million."

"These are all estimated based on the information of previous city lords. They can only be used as a reference."

Tang Ansheng nodded, thinking that it was worthy of being a world of immortal cultivation, a border city actually had a population of one million.

You have to know that in the ancient imperial court of the main world, only cities at the capital level could have such a population during their peak period.

"The ratio of one to nine is quite high."

The cultivators in other cities may be two or three in number, but in the Faceless City the ratio is as high as one to nine, which means there are 100,000 cultivators, an incredible number.

Wang Suyan said: "It is indeed very high. Here, monks and mortals live side by side. Monks are no longer legends to mortals."

"Indeed." Tang Ansheng nodded.

In the city where his grandson Xia Fan lived, the monks had almost become legends.

Ordinary people may not know that there are immortal cultivators in the world and think that cultivating immortals is nothing but a delusion.

"How do monks and mortals live together? Mixed?"

Wang Suyan shook her head. "The entire Faceless City is roughly divided into two halves. The north is where the monks live, and the south is where the common people live."

The population ratio is one to nine, but the area they occupy is almost the same, which is enough to show the uniqueness of the monks.

"The previous city lord said he wanted to observe the people, so he built the city lord's mansion in the south. That's why we haven't seen many monks along the way."

Wang Suyan continued, "The Lord of the City in the south has almost finished his inspection. Do you want to go to the north?"

"Okay, let's go."

Following Wang Suyan, Tang Ansheng soon arrived at North City.

Although it is said to be divided into two halves, it is actually impossible to really separate the city. At the junction of the north and south cities, there are still many mortals selling things here.

However, they also knew that the monks were not far away, so the quality of the mortals who came here to sell things was much higher than those in other places.

Basically, there is no loud hawking, and the items sold are relatively exquisite.

"Although mortals are inherently at a disadvantage compared to monks, there are still many mortals who try their best to come here to sell things."

Wang Suyan said: "Because many monks never bargain and are generous, some exquisite things among mortals are very popular among female monks."

"The few things that the monks give as rewards are enough to support the expenses of a commoner's family for a long time."

Tang Ansheng listened to her and found that the facts were basically the same.

The two of them walked into the North City amid the envious looks of ordinary people.

The architectural layout of the North City is actually similar to that of the South City, but because it is where monks live, it appears much cleaner and tidier than the South City.

"Where is this?" Tang Ansheng saw a sign of Lingmi Zhuang.

He had never seen such a thing in Huashen Sect.

Wang Suyan explained: "This is a rice shop that sells spiritual rice and the like."

"Those low-level cultivators cannot fast yet, so they naturally have to eat. Eating ordinary food will not only prevent them from cultivating spiritual energy, but also cause impurities to accumulate in their bodies, affecting their cultivation."

"So this spiritual thing became their main food."

Spiritual rice and spiritual rice are spiritual plants that contain some of the essence of heaven and earth. Eating them not only will not cause accumulation of impurities in the body, but also can refine spiritual energy and improve cultivation.

However, this kind of thing is difficult to grow, so most cultivators buy it directly with spirit stones.

Tang Ansheng looked at the shop and noticed a big word "柴" next to the sign.

Wang Suyan noticed his gaze and said, "Whether it's South City or North City, the rice and flour in the entire Wumian City are controlled by the Chai family."

“They set the price, too.”
