Whatever Young Master Mo says, naturally becomes the truth.
"It’s just that..." Sect Master Zhao hesitated for a moment, unsure of whether to speak, but eventually sighed and said, "Young Master Mo, such high pressure is too much, I fear... it might be hard to win over the masses..."
Mo Hua looked puzzled, "Why should I make them submit?"
Sect Master Zhao was taken aback.
Mo Hua’s gaze turned slightly cold, "For those with good hearts, you need them to be convinced both in heart and word."
"But those who are like ’ravenous wolves,’ who fear power without appreciating virtue, treating them well is useless, they only need to be subdued by strength and intimidated by might, then they will willingly submit."
"I am the pride of a fifth-grade major sect, standing behind me is the great sect Taixu Gate of Qianxue."
"As long as I hold a superior position and power, they naturally have no choice but to depend on and flatter me."
"As for how they think or whether they are convinced, what does it have to do with me?"
Sect Master Zhao was shaken, and after a moment he sighed:
"What you said is very true, Young Master."
Subsequently, Sect Master Zhao established "rules" as Mo Hua instructed.
He then casually found an excuse to publicly execute a few notoriously wicked elders of the Canglang Sect, giving everyone the impression that the Canglang Sect was undergoing a "regime change," signaling survival for those who follow and death for those who oppose.
As for how the previous Golden Core Realm Sect Leader Duan died, no one saw it with their own eyes, but everyone had some idea.
Additionally, Sect Master Zhao carried the title of "prodigy of a fifth-grade major sect" granted by Mo Hua.
Therefore, all the cultivators in Canglang Sect naturally feared and submitted.
In secret, many elders inquired about Mo Hua’s preferences and offered him gifts.
Mo Hua accepted everything without exception, and then confiscated these "spoils" for the construction of Canglang City.
The so-called "construction" of Canglang City, was actually quite simple.
It was essentially just providing destitute cultivators with a meal.
Giving a means of sustenance to the lower-class loose cultivators.
This task seemed simple, but in practice, it was challenging.
Simply giving them Spirit Stones wasn’t feasible.
The lower-class loose cultivators would mostly be robbed of them; even if not, they would quickly squander them away.
Therefore, Mo Hua began an "employment relief" program, starting to build a refinery shop and expand the state road, hiring lower-class loose cultivators.
This way, loose cultivators had a meal to eat.
And the refinery shop and state road could be completed on schedule.
Once the refinery shop was built, and the state road was accessible, gathering the loose cultivators along the route, Canglang City could further develop.
Finally, as "Sect Leader Duan" had promised Mo Hua before his death, Canglang City would be interconnected with Tongxian City, coexisting harmoniously to aid and support each other.
Only that "Sect Leader Duan" was merely drawing a pie in the sky for Mo Hua.
Whereas Mo Hua genuinely wanted to achieve this.
...
In front of the Canglang City refinery shop, it was bustling with noise, spiritual machines towered high, craftsmen were densely packed, moving back and forth.
The construction of the refinery shop was in full swing.
Mo Hua checked it over, nodded in approval, and then found a place to sit and sip tea, while flipping through Mr. Witch’s manuscripts.
He had roughly arranged the affairs of Canglang City.
A few days later, he planned to leave.
Yet before departing, Mo Hua had a lingering sense of unease.
He always felt as though he had unintentionally overlooked something...
The longer he studied the Great Wilderness Demon Bone Divination Skill, and the deeper his understanding of the Way of Cause and Effect, the stronger this feeling became.
Yet Mo Hua had no clue what he might have overlooked.
Thinking it through repeatedly, he could only guess that it might have something to do with "Mr. Witch."
Therefore, over the past few days, whether busy or idle, he kept flipping through the manuscripts in Mr. Witch’s storage bag.
As he flipped through them, Mo Hua suddenly noticed a problem:
This Mr. Witch, strictly speaking, didn’t seem that "incompetent"...
Not only was he not "incompetent," but he could even be considered... quite capable?
It was just that he encountered Mo Hua and was trapped by the Cause and Effect Demon Seed, so he died mysteriously, yet his proficiency in the Demon Bone Divination Skill wasn’t low.
Otherwise, why would a Foundation Establishment Peak cultivator, be able to calculate his own life chart based on the destiny cause and effect line, and still explore for so long within the fog of his life chart?
The Great Wilderness Demon Bone Divination Skill is a legacy of the Great Wilderness.
Then this Mr. Witch would be a person from the Great Wilderness region.
