Chapter 320 Simulation: Establishing a Nation for Interception (6)_2
```
"We've won!"
"Oh la!"
Meng Xiaolan excitedly raised her hands, and the villagers also cheered and jumped for joy, filled with excitement.
The City Lord was dead, and naturally, the million soldiers were headless dragons. Each of the leaders turned their hopeful gazes towards Meng Yunfeng, "Immortal, now that the City Lord has been killed by thieves, what should we do?"
"Don't panic, follow my lead." Meng Yunfeng leaped out, leading the generals to the front of the City Lord's mansion and said to the densely packed villagers, "I wish to see that young lady."
The villagers naturally recognized Meng Yunfeng, but the matter at hand was about subduing the million-strong army of Linghua City without a fight, so Lu Yixia stepped forward and shouted ahead of them, "Who are you?"
"I am Fengyun, Meng Yunfeng. I hope to meet the heroine who has taken this place," Meng Yunfeng declared loudly.
Something was not right!
Very not right!
The generals led by Meng Yunfeng felt a strong sense of discomfort—did the Fengyun Immortal not wish to avenge the City Lord?
"I am already here!"
Meng Xiaolan emerged from the large doors of the City Lord's mansion, her voice soft, yet it carried a hint of heroism, "Fengyun Immortal, shouldn't you be cultivating on the mountain peacefully instead of meddling in the mortal world?"
Meng Yunfeng sighed, "I had no choice, my master said there is a treasure here that is fated for me, I had to do this."
Meng Xiaolan sneered and asked, "If you wish to avenge the City Lord, then we will accompany you to the end."
"I do not harbor such intentions," Meng Yunfeng shook his head, "City Lord Liu Tianlang oppressed the common people, embezzled imperial funds, he got what he deserved. I believe you were also compelled to act."
This statement made the faces of the generals standing next to Meng Yunfeng change dramatically.
"Immortal, you—"
"Silence!"
Meng Yunfeng scolded, "They can slay the City Lord, can't they also slay you? I am here to administer justice, not to avenge a villain!"
The generals dared not breathe heavily.
They finally realized that the Immortal didn't care who the City Lord was, as long as it didn't hinder his search for the treasure.
Meng Xiaolan scanned the generals before settling her gaze on Meng Yunfeng, "What treasure are you looking for? I might be able to help, just wishing you would leave sooner."
Meng Yunfeng said, "My master told me, the treasure is invisible and intangible, like a spark that can start a prairie fire. Once it takes shape, it will create a roaring red torrent to sweep the mortal world and suppress all malevolent spirits in the universe!" S&our+ced d^i^r#ec$t@ly+ fro$m@ M&V^6L@EMP$6Y&R!.&
"Oh?" Meng Xiaolan showed a look of surprise, "What you're describing, isn't that us?"
"What do you mean?" Meng Yunfeng pressed for an explanation.
"I am willing to overthrow the emperor's rule, liberate the minds of all beings, and afford everyone equal dignity," Meng Xiaolan said with rising inflection, "Isn't this idea the very spark that can burn everything?"
Meng Yunfeng had a sudden realization, "No wonder my master sent me here, it turns out you are the treasure I was looking for!"
At this moment!
The generals of Linghua County were all dumbfounded.
The treasure was a rebel?
"What is your esteemed name?" Meng Yunfeng inquired.
"Meng Xiaolan!"
"Good name!" Meng Yunfeng gave a thumbs up, "My name is Meng Yunfeng, and we share the same surname. Indeed, it's destiny, we are one family!"
Meng Yunfeng, Meng Xiaolan.
Meng.
The generals suddenly understood the truth—the Fengyun Immortal and this female bandit knew each other, and perhaps together, they had planned this entire operation!
After coming to this realization, they thought back to the earlier conversation between the two, full of strangeness, like the plot of an opera—they had been deceived!
But what if they knew the truth?
They still had to be deceived!
So, the generals knelt down one after another, presenting their command seals and bowed deeply, saying, "We are willing to surrender!"
Regardless of whether their guesses were true or not, the power of the Fengyun Immortal was undeniable. To save their lives, they could only pretend [Since the Immortal has submitted, they had to follow suit].
Meng Xiaolan signaled to Xiao Huan with a glance, and Xiao Huan immediately went and collected the command seals, effectively taking over Linghua City without shedding blood.
After the battle.
Some villagers returned to the ancient beast mountain and reported the situation to the elderly, women, and children in the village, causing joy among them, and Su Jie too was all smiles, "Given how the mortals of this world revere cultivators, it would be strange if they lost."
Taking down Linghua City had established the foundation for founding a nation.
Considering the whole mundane realm, Kun Country was small, and Linghua County even smaller, but if viewed from Earth's perspective, the entire Linghua County was not small at all, as big as the whole of Japan.
The characteristic of the Cultivation World was vast territories but low utilization.
Meng Xiaolan, based on her knowledge, calmed the citizens of the city and then bound the City Lord's corpse in the square for the people to vent their anger.
Afterward, she set about redefining the city's laws—
Inside Linghua City, there were four major families—Lin, Ye, Xiao, and Feng—controlling forty percent of the city's wealth and managing the livelihood of everyone.
At this time, the four families were gathering at the Lin family's house to discuss the changes in the city.
"Since the City Lord has been killed by the rebels, should we secretly send someone to other cities for help?" the head of the Lin family proposed somberly.
"Let's not do that for now," the head of the Ye family shook his head, "I've already sent someone out, but the messengers who returned said that they are everywhere, the entire Linghua City is surrounded."
"It is troublesome," the Xiao family head said, "Without communication with the outside world, our income will be halved."
The head of the Feng family picked up his teacup, took a sip, and his eyes twinkled with wisdom. "Actually, it might be good to have a new City Lord. After all, Liu Tianlang took too much from us."
