Although the tsunami's metaphor made the cultivators outside the city quite dissatisfied, it did not cause a major riot, and the situation was quickly brought under control.

That's why Zhou Yang is indispensable.

The cultivators who entered Dingbei City were all elites among the 200,000 people, as well as influential figures. And the remaining 120,000 people were also organized into 12 towns by Zhou Yang in this month.

Not only that, but he immediately identified the candidates for the commanders, commanders, and centurions of the twelve towns, and promised them heavy benefits, allowing them to vigorously control and suppress their subordinates.

With so many movements, the 120,000 people outside the city gradually stabilized. This is Zhou Yang's third step strategy.

These days, Zhou Yang is also paying attention to the acquaintances of the Hundred Sects, but he has not found the disciples of the Qinglong Sect such as Gangyi, nor has he seen the genius of the Hundred Sects Mountain mentioned by Keshan, the Long Tengyun of the Ancient Yin Villa.

However, he found the people of Fengling Mountain and Mengyue Sect.

The trial disciples of these two factions had fought with him in the sea of the secret realm, and the two sides had casualties on each other, and they were like fire and water, and they would never die.

Today, however, there is not a single acquaintance between the two factions.

Those people have nothing more than three results, one is that they did not come out in the secret realm. The second is to die in the previous beast tide. The third is to flee to the area south of the Ling River in Baizong Mountain.

The Divine Palace Secret Realm has become a Divine Palace Jedi, and the battle in Baizong Mountain before was so tragic, so the possibility of the first two is very high.

Zhou Yang shook his head and entered the busyness again.

Taiqingmen and Dashun Commercial Bank, although they sent spies every day to inquire about the news, but Zhou Yang was fully responsible for the collection operation, and the location was in Nancheng, plus Zhou Tianzong deliberately concealed it, so it was not until a month later that the two factions came back to their senses, and the Qi Jibao and Chen Xuan jumped like thunder, scolding Zhou Tianzong for being insidious and cunning.

They jointly sent a letter to the city lord's mansion, demanding that Hai Tiantsumi must allow the two factions to pull people from the city. Unexpectedly, Hai Tian Tsunami actually agreed.

The two sent a large number of disciples to Nancheng to win over the cultivators of Baizong Mountain, but they were beaten to death and injured, and people didn't like them at all.

One is because the reputation of the two factions is too bad, the second is that Zhou Yang constantly brainwashes the people of Baizong Mountain, and the third is that he secretly spreads the plot of Taiqingmen and Dashun Commercial Bank, and wants to recruit these people to suppress the demon beasts of Baizong Mountain and let them be cannon fodder.

The three are combined, and it is no wonder that the action of Taiqingmen and Dashun Commercial Bank can succeed!

With the addition of eleven False Pill Masters and 80,000 elite disciples to Zhou Tianzong, the balance of Dingbei City was completely broken.

A few months ago, although Zhou Tianzong was the strongest, once Taiqingmen and Dashun Commercial Bank united, their overall strength would surpass Zhou Tianzong. But now the situation is completely different, Zhou Tianzong's strength has steadily surpassed the sum of the two factions.

If it was said that Zhou Tianzong implemented the first strong standard before, then now it is the two strong standards.

In other words, no one had surpassed Zhou Tianzong before, and the current situation was that any of the two strongest sects together could not compare to Zhou Tianzong.

From now on, Zhou Tianzong has truly become the overlord of Dingbei City, and Hai Tiantsu has also confirmed the position of the city lord, and the sect has regained its former glory.

Not only that, but the 120,000 horses stationed outside the city were actually under the control of Zhou Tianzong. If this power is added, it will be another force like Taiqingmen, and Zhou Tianzong will not be afraid.

Although Hai Tiantsumi did not reward Zhou Yang, everyone in the sect knew that Zhou Tianzong's achievements were all due to him. Zhou Yang's popularity and prestige in the sect have surpassed anyone under Jin Dan.

With a promise comes a position, and now his identity is second only to the deputy sect master Fudo Zhenren, and he has become one of the three giants of Zhou Tianzong.

However, Qiu Yi's status has plummeted, although he still maintains the status of a great elder, his power has been greatly compressed, and his popularity has continued to decline.

If virtue is not worthy, it is a matter of time before he steps down.

At this moment, both the pole treasure and the intestines of extinction are repentant.

If they knew that Zhou Tianzong would come to this move, they would have already made a move.

Originally, there were a large number of disciples of Baizong Mountain in the east, west and north gates, and if they also sent people to divide and win over as soon as possible, maybe their strength would surpass Zhou Tianzong and fight for the right to speak in Dingbei City.

But now that the wood is in the boat, it's too late to say anything.

Jibao and Chen Xuan were angry and angry, and they had already slapped and killed several of their blind subordinates, so frightened that everyone did not dare to move forward.

However, the sky is cloudy, and things are divided into two sides, and there are joys and worries. Zhou Tianzong's strength expanded too quickly, and the logistics and supplies were immediately stretched, and some of them could not make ends meet.

For this reason, Hai Tiantsumi and Fudo Zhenren worked hard, and finally had to raise the taxes in the city and increase the monthly tribute paid by various forces to the city lord's mansion, which barely survived.

However, this move also aroused the dissatisfaction of the two major factions and many forces, who jointly protested to the city lord's mansion, demanding the reduction of taxes and monthly tribute.

And the City Lord's Mansion has done a great job, and all the requests will be approved, but there is one condition, that is, each faction is required to provide a vacant lot, and the cultivators of Baizong Mountain will be stationed.

This condition scared everyone away, which is equivalent to their own territory being stationed by someone else's army, so do they still have sovereignty?

If it had been changed to a few months ago, they might have been happy to accept it, but now that the situation has changed greatly, these 80,000 Hundred Sect Mountain Elites have already joined Zhou Tianzong, and they can no longer pull them in.

This worry has been solved, but the second worry is still there, and that is the 120,000 hundred sect mountain disciples outside the southern city. If this part of the population is not handled well, it will also cause great turmoil.

In the past few months, Zhou Yang has been very busy, always running at both ends of the city and outside the city. On the one hand, he had to deal with the problem of the mixed organization of the city guards, and on the other hand, he had to firmly control the people of the newly built two towns, and he also had to appease the more than 100,000 disciples of the Hundred Sects outside the city, and he was busy for a while.

Not only that, in order to attract talents, his own pockets also quickly deflated, and the inventory was already running out, and it was in urgent need of replenishment.

Fortunately, Fang Lie's two million contribution points were still left, and he used these contribution points in exchange for a large number of mid-level materials, but they were only barely maintained.

For a few months, he only had time to cultivate at night, and because he couldn't be coherent, he focused on figuring out the two secret techniques of the Seven Stars Flowing Cloud Step and the Great Burning Heaven Hand, and he had made considerable progress.

His cultivation of ancient characters has not been left behind, and he is now able to barely read a small part of the Heavenly Mandate Codex, but there is not enough time, and it is impossible to translate the content of the Codex.

Also, in addition to the Code of the Mandate of Heaven, he tried his best to keep all the important classics in his mind, and everything that could be destroyed was destroyed.

With the improvement of his realm, his ability to read and memorize has also greatly improved, and it basically does not take much time to memorize an important classic or secret art.
