Journey to the West: Life Simulation of Sun Wukong

"Do you really want me to lead?"

Meng Xiaolan was both excited and afraid.

Because she was called to lead three hundred thousand young and robust individuals to conquer Linghua City, which had a population of nearly ten million!

In the past, this would have been nothing but a pipe dream!

Even if Linghua City was small, with a population of ten million, the number of soldiers in the city exceeded one million. Three hundred thousand against one million was akin to an egg striking a rock, courting certain destruction.

However, these three hundred thousand villagers each had a vitality surpassing 1, typically between 1.1 and 1.5, far from comparable to the troops whose average vitality ranged between 0.7 and 0.9.

That was the limitation of the Cultivation World.

Cultivators could not possibly allow everyone in the nations under their control to cultivate. If so, those controlling the Cultivation World would no longer be cultivators, but the various dynasties instead.

As for the issue of resources.

That wasn't an issue at all.

The Cultivation World was vast and rich in resources. As long as a farmer diligently plowed the fields and the imperial taxes were reasonable, anyone could live a life free from worries about food and drink.

Regrettably, there were always those who desired to stand atop others.

But back to the main point.

With three hundred thousand villagers with vitality above 1, it was more than enough to contend with the million soldiers of Linghua City. Moreover, most of Linghua City's soldiers were tied up by Meng Yunfeng, constantly patrolling the city and spreading unease among the populace.

Liu Tianlang was aware this was not ideal, as it would cause panic among the citizens, but since Meng Yunfeng was a cultivator, he could only endure and had discretely discussed with Meng Yunfeng the possibility of borrowing some troops to investigate the ancient beast-ridden mountains outside the city.

But Meng Yunfeng said that refugees were unimportant and warned him not to make a fuss over nothing.

Left with no choice, Liu Tianlang had to put the issue of the ancient beast-ridden mountains aside for the time being. And it was during this time that the villagers had the opportunity to develop.

"What's the matter, don't you have confidence in yourself?" Su Jie patted Meng Xiaolan on the shoulder, encouraging her, "Linghua County may be large, but with most of its million officers tied up by Meng Yunfeng, as long as you enter through a weakly guarded spot, you will surely be able to turn the tables."

"I hope so."

Meng Xiaolan nodded her head and proceeded out of the mountain stronghold.

"Woo!"

The sound of horns blared.

All of the village's three hundred thousand able-bodied men, fully armed, dressed in rattan armor, wielding spears, and mounted on ancient beasts known as Fierce Horses, majestically descended the mountain.

Rumbling!

The soldiers stationed outside the ancient beast-ridden mountains felt the ground trembling beneath them.

"What's going on?"

"Is the earth dragon turning over?"

"It seems to be coming from the mountain wasteland!"

The soldiers looked towards the direction of the wasteland, only to see a cloud of dust rising from the brush close to the main road, where countless barbarians in rattan armor and fur rushed out under the leadership of a woman.

"Kill!"

Seeing the billowing cloud of dust in the distance, the soldiers didn't even think twice—they threw down their weapons and turned to head towards Linghua City's gates.

"It's those lowlifes!"

"What the hell is happening! Why would they come out? Could it be they're planning to rebel?"

The soldiers had time only to ponder these two questions before they were overtaken by the Fierce Horses, then impaled by the villagers' long spears, falling into pools of blood to be trampled into a pulp by the stampeding Fierce Horses.

Smelling the blood, Meng Xiaolan felt no disgust, but instead, a surge of ferocity arose in her. Next to her, Akatsuki too licked her lips, a hint of red flashing in her eyes.

The soldiers guarding the city gates, upon seeing the approaching dust storm in the distance, didn't care about whether there were still civilians outside and promptly raised the gates.

"Long spears!" The authentic version is on M|V|LEMPY_R.

Meng Xiaolan commanded.

Akatsuki immediately handed her a long spear.

"Giddy up!"

Meng Xiaolan snapped the reins, urging her steed to quicken its pace, breaking ahead of the troupe and galloping to the forefront, arriving 300 meters from the city gate, where she abruptly hauled on the reins, her legs gripping the horse's flanks tightly.

At that moment, she hurled her long spear ferociously.

Whoosh!

Propelled by her own strength and the horse's charging momentum, the spear flew like a streak of light, transforming speed into force, and struck the iron chain beside the city gate.

Crack!

The wooden part of the spear shattered into pieces, but at the same time, the chain snapped.

One side of the drawbridge lost its balance, and the other side was affected, breaking apart, thus opening the city gate.

"The city gate is open!"

"Let's charge in!"

As the drawbridge fell, the inner gate of the city gate's entrance had not yet completely closed. Meng Xiaolan immediately seized the opportunity, leading the villagers behind her in a charge inside.

"Quick, inform the City Lord!"

"No!"

"It's better to flee at once!"

The soldiers on top of the city gate tower shouted and cried out, panicked.

Since their appointment, they had never experienced such an event—when had those lowlifes dared to revolt?

What's more, this was all too sudden!

They had no preparedness whatsoever, which led to them being instantly breached!

Inside the City Lord's residence, Liu Tianlang received the news, and his face turned ashen with shock, "What? Those refugees have actually started a rebellion, and they've even breached the city gate and stormed into Linghua County offices!"

Pushing aside the soldier who brought the news, Liu Tianlang immediately sought out Meng Yunfeng and said anxiously, "Fengyun Immortal, is it possible to halt the search for the treasure momentarily?"

"Oh? What has happened?" Meng Yunfeng feigned ignorance.

"It's the rebels!" Liu Tianlang said fiercely, "In the ancient beast wilderness outside of Linghua City, there's a bandit gang entrenched, a scourge to our city. All the merchants passing by are skinned alive, only to remain barely alive, it's truly abhorrent!"

"Now, they even aim to take over the entire county!"

"This is utterly heinous!"

Upon saying this, Liu Tianlang pleaded earnestly, "I hope the Fengyun Immortal would consider the civilians within the city and allow our troops to suppress those bandits first, how about that?"

"Impossible!" Meng Yunfeng calculated with his fingers and shook his head, refusing Liu Tianlang's request, "According to the heavenly secrets, the treasure is supposed to emerge during this time; we cannot slack off."

"But those rebels!" Liu Tianlang's eyes twitched.

"Do not worry, they are just some mortals, hardly worth mentioning," Meng Yunfeng said with an air of nonchalance, "Besides, do they have as many people as in Linghua County?"

"The Immortal is correct."

With that reminder from Meng Yunfeng, Liu Tianlang immediately calmed down.

Yes!

With cultivators around, why bother about those mere rebels?

Let them create chaos within Linghua City if they wish; in the end, it is just the commoners who would die, what does it have to do with him?

Moreover, he might even be able to use this opportunity to request support from Kun Country to suppress the bandits, exaggerating the numbers and perhaps obtaining more military funds!

Furthermore, although Linghua City was small, it was certainly not something that mere three hundred thousand people could occupy...

"I've been flustered and disturbed the Immortal. Please do not take offense," Liu Tianlang said apologetically to Meng Yunfeng, after figuring these things out. He left sheepishly.

Meng Yunfeng let out a silent sigh of relief, "To hypnotize a Great Meditation level person without him noticing is truly no easy task."

That Liu Tianlang would suddenly change his mind was of course due to Meng Yunfeng using his hypnotism on him, allowing the relaxed thoughts deep within him to take over his mind...
