Chapter 8 Walking Alone in the Moonlight Chapter 178 Gains and Losses Are Right and Wrong in the World

In three years, there has been almost no change in the return of Yanhui to the city, but the old city of Yuzhou City has expanded a circle, and a new city with half the scale of Fufeng City has risen from the ground. The Yuzhou ferry funded by Tianhewu is divided into three phases, and now not only the first phase of the project has been completed, but also the cross-domain boat has docked here.

The most important thing in Yuzhou City is money, but when building a new city, Yuzhou City did not spend a single silver coin, but made a lot of money.

Yuzhou City, which produces spirit crystals, is a money bag coveted by all parties, and after the Yuzhou ferry is fully completed, the annual income will never be lower than the spirit crystals produced by Yuzhou City.

The benefits of a cross-domain ferry are far more than those spirit crystals on the surface.

When Tianhewu announced the establishment of a cross-domain ferry in Yuzhou City, several foreign forces comparable to the Situ family joined forces, and at the same time, several star powerhouses were dispatched to snatch half of Yuzhou City from Chu Zhu. However, the Yuzhou City Protector Array was opened after Zhou Ran left, and those star powerhouses were controlled by the formation before they entered the city. If Chu Zhu had been ruthless at that time, none of those few people who had relied on the Four-Rank Spiritual Source to advance to the Star Vertical Realm would have thought of leaving alive.

The Dao array laid out by the fifth line of the high priest is in vain even for the existence that has crossed the gate of heaven.

Chu Zhu would not allow any outsider to reach into Yuzhou City, but he would not give up any opportunity that could bring great benefits to Yuzhou City. So, he, Fan Li and others decided to build a new city.

The construction of the new city naturally has to be on the basis of not affecting the old city, and there is no such capable person in Yuzhou City. Therefore, in the matter of choosing the site of the new city, Yuzhou City can only go to trouble a few worship elders in Tianhewu.

Chu Zhu does not allow others to interfere in Yuzhou City, but in terms of the new city, it is as convenient as possible. In addition to holding part of the land in his hands, almost all of the rest were sold to various forces. In addition, several post stations in Yuzhou Ferry, Yuzhou City only occupies 30%, and the rest are all sold.

With just these two pieces, Yuzhou City made a lot of money, and I don't know how many people were red.

Yuzhou City, which is lonely in the forest sea, is in the territory of Qingchuan Domain, and the Situ family began to lay out this money bag decades ago in order to pocket this money bag, and now several major forces and big families around Yuzhou City are supported by Qingchuan Domain. When Tianhewu announced the construction of a cross-domain ferry in Yuzhou City, Situ Zhou, who had lost power, was in Yuzhou City, which allowed the Situ family, as the first family in the Qingchuan Domain, to occupy the right time and place.

As the first big force to intervene in Yuzhou City New Town and Ferry Station, the Situ family has gained a lot.

Only at present, the Situ family has 20% of the land in Yuzhou City New Town, and at least 30% of the stores in Yuzhou Ferry Station stand behind the Situ family. But in the end, the biggest beneficiary was not Situ Ye, the new head of the Situ family, who had been busy before and after, but Situ Zhou.

When the elder who came to Yuzhou City on behalf of Situ Ye smashed a lot of money to grab the land in Yuzhou City, Situ Zhou almost never appeared in public, as if he was deliberately evading, which further fueled the arrogance of the elder who had been severely suppressed by Situ Zhou.

In the few months since the land was sold in Yuzhou New Town, the elder deliberately provoked Situ Zhou many times, and if he encountered Situ Zhou in a crowded place, he would speak viciously and ridicule and ridicule, but Situ Zhou always let it go. It wasn't until the elder exchanged all the money of the Situ family for land that Situ Zhou suddenly made a mistake and directly killed the elder who was related to him, not only taking all the land deeds of the Situ family into his pocket, but also taking the opportunity to gather many masters. These alone naturally can't compete for power with Situ Ye, who is firmly in the position of the head of the family, but there is no need to look at Situ Ye's face anymore.

Situ Zhou's actions almost made Situ Ye angry to death, but it made those big forces who came to Yuzhou City and New City to take advantage of him take a look down on him, and many people even put him in the list of "one party hero".

But in fact, whether it was showing weakness in front of the elder who came to Yuzhou City on behalf of Situ Ye, or suddenly killing him to grasp the benefits of the Situ family in Yuzhou City, including taking the opportunity to spend a lot of money to entrap a master and some other big forces, it was the old monster who made a plan behind Situ Zhou's back.

The news of the death of the city lord of Yuzhou City is also driven by the old monster behind the scenes.

Why did Tianhewu build a cross-domain ferry in Yuzhou City and live in seclusion with Lin Fengmian in Yuzhou City, only the five major sects ranked among the thirty-six factions in Jizhou knew about the fur, and the old monster did have some means, but the sea was not qualified to know these. Therefore, the old monster always felt that if it weren't for the sudden appearance of Helian Qingqing, Long Lan, Dongmen Chuxue and Shang Qingluo, maybe his plan would really succeed. If everything is as he planned, Situ Zhou and the forces he has secretly befriended may still not be able to insert his hand into Yuzhou City, but in terms of Xincheng and the Universe Ferry, they can firmly grasp it.

After all, in the entire Yuzhou City, only Zhuo Yipu, a powerhouse of the newly advanced Star Vertical Realm, was in charge, and the little prison city whose strength had not yet reached the Innate Realm could only deter the evil wolves with the help of the Great Array of City Protection.

The forces that were secretly better with Situ Zhou became honest after Helian Qingqing and a few people appeared, and the old monster didn't have no hands and feet to incite again, but unfortunately it was useless. Seeing that the turmoil was about to subside completely, the old monster had to change his strategy, so that Situ Zhou took the initiative to get along with Yuzhou City, and even did not hesitate to come up with a sum of money that made Situ Zhou's heart ache for a long time.

If Yuzhou City is in turmoil, the new family owners and elders who are far away in Fufeng City will only choose to wait and see what happens, and will not send people to regain the land deeds and benefits that were robbed by Situ Zhou. But once Yuzhou City settles down, Situ Ye will definitely kill Situ Zhou. And with the masters and forces that Situ Zhou had gathered and secretly befriended, it was impossible for him to wrestle with the Situ family, who was the first family in the Qingchuan Domain. What's more, Situ Zhou can win over those people, and Situ Ye can do the same, it's just spending money.

Compared with Situ Ye, who owns the entire Situ family, how many chips can Situ Zhou have in his hand?

In this case, Yuzhou City's attitude is very important.

No matter what the forces of all parties think, Yuzhou City is the nominal owner of Xincheng and the ferry station, as long as Yuzhou City recognizes the land deeds that Situ Zhou snatched, and even agrees to change the name on the land deed to Situ Zhou, even if Situ Ye is the head of the family and has the full support of the elder group, there is still nothing to be done.

The old monster naturally knew that the rumors he spread behind his back and the tricks he did secretly couldn't hide from the scheming little prison city, but he even believed that as long as Situ Zhou paid a sufficient price, that little prison city would definitely pretend not to know what he had done. Because for today's Yuzhou City, the Situ family, which is divided into two, is less threatening.

The development of the facts was just as the old monster expected, the little eunuch city took the spiritual source they took out, and also recognized the land deeds that Situ Zhou had robbed, but he did not back down on the matter of changing the name on the title deed to Situ Zhou, unless they were willing to give half of the title deeds to Yuzhou City.

When the conditions for changing the name of the deed came back, Situ Zhou was so angry that he directly dropped his favorite purple clay pot, but the old monster laughed. But from then on, the old monster officially regarded the little prison city that was not even his grandson old as a real enemy.

With Situ Zhou's temperament of eating alone, as long as he grasps it in his hand, he will not let go, he is definitely unwilling to give half of the title deed to Yuzhou City, but if he is forced by Situ Ye to retreat, he can only endure the pain and cut the meat to protect himself. And in order to buy those lands before the other forces, the price spent by the Situ family was not small. Situ Ye can't wait to let Situ Zhou die, Situ Zhou is still surnamed Situ, those land deeds are in the hands of Situ Zhou, and there is no way to take them back in the future, but if it falls into the hands of the small prison city in Yuzhou City, I don't know how many times the spiritual source will have to be paid if I want to buy it back.

The current situation is that as long as Situ Ye is not willing to give up those land deeds for a day, he will not force Situ Zhou to be anxious for a day. Even if Situ Ye sent someone else to Yuzhou City to make a deal with Chu Zhu, he would not easily overwhelm people with power. If Situ Zhou wants to do something secretly, he must also weigh the consequences of Yuzhou City.

Who would have thought that a game of chess would come to such a field?

Situ Ye took out the savings of the Situ family for many years in one go, in order to be able to do a big business with a lot of profits, in order to grasp all the benefits of Yuzhou New Town and the ferry station as much as possible. Once this can be done, the Situ family, which already has a cross-continent crossing, is likely to grow into a super family chasing thousands of peers in a very short period of time.

But now, that huge wealth has become a pawn in Yuzhou City to restrain the Situ family, and Situ Ye and Situ Zhou, the uncle and nephew who are almost immortal, have to look at the face of that little prison city.

The old monster, who had always been suspicious, began to wonder if the reason why Chu Zhu didn't drive Situ Zhou and them out of the city in the first place was just waiting for Situ Zhou to tear apart the Situ family with Situ Zhou one day, and he even thought that it was Chu Zhu's calculation that he instigated Situ Zhou to kill that elder. But in that situation, he and Situ Zhou had to kill the elder and take away those land deeds, otherwise once the land deeds fell into Situ Ye's hands, it would be even more difficult for Situ Zhou to turn over.

If it was not the elder group that gave advice to Situ Ye at this time, but the old monster beside Situ Zhou, he would definitely let Situ Ye cut through the mess quickly, and get rid of Situ Zhou no matter what the price was, only in this way could he snatch the initiative back from Yuzhou City. And Chu Zhu dared to offer half of the title deed as the cost of changing the name, but he didn't have the courage to eat Situ Ye.

In fact, Situ Ye really didn't have the courage to do this thunderbolt.

Whether the truth is really as the old monster thinks, maybe only Chu Zhu himself knows.

For more than two years, the undercurrent of Yuzhou City has been continuous, but it is very calm on the surface.

As long as the city protection array is still there, Yuzhou City can be invincible. But Chu Zhu, who is a prisoner of the city, knows very well that if there is no top master in Yuzhou City who is strong enough to deter all parties, it will always be a fat meat that everyone wants to come up and take a bite of. But if you want to cultivate a real master, it will take at least thirty or fifty years.

The four people who came back from the Intercepting Heaven Tower, Yu Ping, Nan Xiansheng, Dian Jingsheng and Yan Heng are the current key training objects of Yuzhou City.

Yan Heng, Dian Jingsheng and Nan Xiansheng are all in the congenital second realm, and Yu Quan has advanced to the innate third realm in the near future, and has successfully ranked among the top powerhouses in Yuzhou City. Wu Keming, who was in Yuzhou City to attract advanced star power to advance to the innate realm, stepped into the innate third realm one step ahead of Yu Equilibrium, but few people knew about it.

In the past three years, Wu Keming has almost always trained on that small hill outside the city, and rarely shows up.

The city guards of Yuzhou City were also ground out by Xiahou Chun little by little, and the ears and eyes secretly cultivated by the Warden Department also penetrated outside the Qingchuan Domain through the various strengths of Yuzhou New City, and Fan Li, who was in charge of the financial power of Yuzhou City, always felt that no matter how many spirit crystals were not enough.

The person who has changed the most is Chu Zhu!

But anyone who has seen Chu Zhu with their own eyes knows that this resourceful little prison city is really mediocre in terms of cultivation, even if he uses the massive resources of Yuzhou City to pile up, the top heaven is also the second realm of innate nature. And Chu Zhu, who had rarely appeared in the past three years, saw that he had reached the third refining stage of the True Yuan, and he was only half a step away from the consummation of the third refining of the True Yuan.

In addition to Wu Keming and Xiahou Chun, the people who knew about this also had to add Lin Fengmian, because the treasure on Chu Zhu's body that covered his aura was given by Lin Fengmian.

But Chu Zhu was ready to perform the method of "Breaking the Mirror and Reuniting" after the Great Perfection of the True Yuan Three Refinements, and probably only Wu Keming guessed it.

How terrifying is the method of "Broken Mirror Reunion", Wu Keming insisted on it to the end with that hatred and unwillingness, why did Chu Zhu rely on?

In the eyes of outsiders, Chu Zhu, who became the supervisor of Yuzhou City at a young age, is definitely a young man. But Chu Zhu felt that Yuzhou City was too small, and he wanted to go outside to see the bigger world.

If you want to go to the outside world, you must be strong.

The method of "Breaking the Mirror and Reunion" is indeed painful, but it is a seven-spirit practice technique that even "Thousand Peerless Gates" may not have, which is an opportunity that must not be missed for Chu Zhu, who seems to have suddenly opened up the second vein of Ren Du overnight.

Although the undercurrent has always been there, Yuzhou City is developing in a good direction.

The world is impermanent, gains and losses may not come first, and right and wrong may not come later.

This is true of Yuzhou City, this is true of Qingchuan Domain, and this is true of the Twelve Continents and the Great Rift Valley.

The same is true of the world that Zhou Ran has lived in for sixteen years.

Thousands of years later, the merits and demerits are nothing more than a green page and a few strokes of calligraphy.

Zhou Ran, Kunyu and Star-Lord came to Yuzhou City, and first went to the big river outside the old city to see Lin Fengmian.

After that, Zhou Ran took Xing-Jue and Kunyu to the old city, the new city and the ferry again, and probably learned about the current situation in Yuzhou City. And in the period of rapid development of Yuzhou City is changing all the time, people who have returned from the city for three years can probably only find some memories of the old appearance of Yuzhou City in the old city, and the West City, which was hit by fireballs on the night when the three factions besieged Yuzhou City, has almost recovered.

Zhou Ran took Star-Lord and Kunyu to an old street in the deepest part of Xicheng.

This centuries-old street is probably the only place in Xicheng that has not been destroyed by that fireball, but now it has become a place where the three religions and nine streams of Yuzhou City live together.

Zhou Ran and the three of them were not dressed in fancy clothes, but the bearing of the three of them was incompatible with this.

Zhou Ran, who had a tender face, looked younger than his actual age, and he did not cover his realm with the power of divine thoughts. The innate realm of Yuzhou City today is much more common than three years ago, but such a young innate realm is rare. In addition, the two younger guys who followed Zhou Ran turned out to be in the Guiyuan Realm, which was even more terrifying.

Zhou Ran and the three of them finally stopped in front of a tavern called Xiyang.

The hundred-year-old Xiyang Tavern is not an old shop, and the business is tepid, but it gradually became lively after changing owners three years ago.

The new master will come to work, and he will be a man, and the most important thing is that his strength is not low. Not only were the little minions who collected protection money obedient to him, but even several gang bosses in Xicheng were blocked by the new boss and drank a few times. As for whether it is a toast or a punishment, only those few themselves know.

Before the three of Zhou Ran entered the door, a clever guy came over to greet him with a smile.

The half-hunched guy's eyesight is not bad, although he doesn't know how these three boys who seem to have extraordinary backgrounds came here, but he also knows that such a person is greeted well, and the reward is a lot of money, so he said enthusiastically: "Three little boys, please have a private room inside." ”

Star-Lord looked at the tavern curiously, and Kunyu glanced at it and was not interested.

The private room is located on the second floor, and the guy leads the way in the front.

Zhou Ran and the three of them came to the staircase on the first floor, and the new owner of the tavern happened to come down from upstairs, and the slightly drunk person saw the person behind the guy clearly, and the whole person came to his senses.

The tavern owner walked quickly, asked the guy to go to other things, and personally took Zhou Ran to the Jinyang Pavilion on the third floor, which had never entertained outsiders.

After Zhou Ran and the three of them stepped into Jinyang Pavilion, the hotel owner immediately knelt down and said, "Meet the city lord!"

The tavern owner was none other than Song Yin, the mad dog that Zhou Ran had subdued in Fufeng City.

Song Yin bought this tavern after he came to Yuzhou City, and he has been staying honestly for three years.

Situ Zhou naturally knew that Song Yin was here, and he had personally come here to take him back as his subordinate. Although Xicheng is also shrouded in the city protection array, Situ Zhou does not dare to make a move on him, but with Song Yin's understanding of Situ Zhou, as long as he dares to refuse, this Situ Fourth Master will definitely find a way to kill him, because he knows that Situ Zhou has too much privacy.

In the past three years, Song Yinchu has maintained a vague contact with Situ Zhou. He was able to gain a firm foothold in Xicheng so quickly, and Situ Zhou did contribute a lot, but Song Yin, who was hit by the seal of the gods, could only be loyal to Zhou Ran.

Zhou Ran stood in front of the window and looked outside, but Song Yin didn't dare to move.

After a long time, Zhou Ran spoke: "Take me to see Fu Chunqiu." ”

Song Yinchu didn't dare to disobey, and took Zhou Ran and the three of them from the back door of the tavern to Situ Zhou's new city residence.

In front of a huge manor in the new city, Zhou Ran asked Song Yin to find an excuse to separate Situ Zhou and the others, and he took Star-Lord and Kunyu to the innermost small courtyard of the manor.

At the gate of the small courtyard, there were already people waiting.

The rich man in purple and gold clothes stood at the gate of the small courtyard and looked at Zhou Ran with a smile, and said with a smile: "City Lord Zhou." ”

A hundred years of spring and autumn dreams!

is talking about the old monster in front of him, Fu Chunqiu.

For ordinary people, Fu Chunqiu, who has lived for more than 300 years, is indeed an old monster, but those who have really seen Fu Chunqiu find it hard to believe that this rich man who seems to be no more than the year of destiny has lived for so long. But whether it was just a person who had heard of the name of the old monster or had seen Fu Chunqiu with his own eyes, they all thought that he had just stepped into the Star Vertical realm with a four-grade spiritual source, and no one knew that this old thing was extremely talented and had already reached the peak of the Star Column.

Even Situ Zhou, who gets along with the old monster day and night, still has no idea.

Not counting Lin Fengmian, who lives in seclusion outside Yuzhou City, the old monster Fu Chunqiu is definitely the number one master in the Qingchuan Domain.

If this matter spreads, I don't know how many people will be surprised, even if Zhou Ran is very surprised.

However, it was just an accident.

Zhou Ran was suddenly very interested in weighing this old monster by himself.
