Chapter 1141: Declaration of Liberation of the City of Justice
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In fact, Han Fei should have known that if the City of Justice was the last territory of human beings, then why would there be the Thousand Star City? Human beings should have long been extinct.
Calming down, Han Fei said to Ximen Linglan, “Let me speak to them.”
Ximen Linglan nodded. “OK, I can’t handle this.”
Han Fei asked, “You once stayed in Yu City. Where is the center of this city?”
Ximen Linglan thought for a moment and said, “The Star Towers, a few very high towers. That’s where the big clans in Yu City sell their resources and exchange for resources.”
Han Fei smiled. “Then let’s go there.”
.
Han Fei’s voice rumbled. “My compatriots, we’ll wait for you on the Star Towers.”
“Come on, let’s go to the Star Towers.”
“Hurry up, grab a seat.”
“Brother, wait for me.”
After a while, Han Fei and the others came to the Star Towers, which was already overcrowded.
Someone took the best position and said with a smile, “Those who go to the city gate are idiots. Yu City has a huge population. If the Avenger wins against the big clans and takes over Yu City, a series of major events must be announced. Is there a better place than the Star Towers?”
When Han Fei saw the so-called Star Towers, he found that the towers were cylindrical, more than 300 meters high and more than 100 meters wide. There were three of them, standing in a triangle.
“Here they come.”
Someone was shouting. There were all sorts of shouting. Some even called him the Saviour.
Han Fei said, “Linglan, Old Jia, one for each of you later. Destroy these three towers.”
“Huh?”
Jia Wuxing said in surprise, “Wait… Marshal Han, didn’t you just say not to destroy the buildings in the city?”
Han Fei said, “Just do it. Cut the crap.”
Han Fei shouted, “Everyone, leave the Star Towers. Make way for a thousand meters.”
When the crowd surged and began to retreat, Han Fei shouted in a low voice, “Attack, destroy it.”
All of a sudden, under the gaze of countless people, Han Fei, Ximen Linglan, and a ferocious-looking man flew to the three star towers. Among them, Han Fei was the most aggressive.
A sledgehammer appeared in his hand, turning into a shocking hammer shadow. With a few consecutive clangs, the Star Towers shattered and smoke flew.
Holding two knives in her hand, Ximen Linglan quickly passed the Star Towers. Then people took a closer look, only to see that the whole building was full of knife marks, and then fell one after another in pieces.
Jia Wuxing bombarded the Star Towers with his fists to show the strength of an Explorer. He descended from the sky and punched through the Star Towers.
Amidst the cries of countless people, Han Fei shouted, “Human compatriots, don’t panic. The Star Towers are where the big clans exchange resources with you. Now that the Star Towers have been destroyed, it means that the era of the big clans has passed. A new era has come.”
“Good! Well done!”
Someone raised his arms and shouted, and the roars echoed one after another, raising tides of sound.
“Relieve my hatred.”
“This place should have been destroyed long ago.”
“It’s a pity that everything inside has been taken away.”
“As long as there are no big clans.”
Han Fei quickly descended, and the Law of Gravity covered a hundred meters with a huge force. These were all ordinary buildings, not spiritual weapons. In an instant, these gravels were crushed into flat ground by Han Fei.
Then, Han Fei casually threw a large rod to the ground. As Han Fei thought of something, the rod quickly rose to a height of 100 meters and stopped, turning into a huge pillar that held up the sky.
Standing on the top of the giant pillar, Han Fei shouted in a low voice, “Everyone, don’t panic. Wait for a moment. When everyone arrives.”
Ximen Linglan asked via voice transmission, Do we have to wait? Those people’s gazes are so hot.
Han Fei replied calmly, “This is called creating a sense of anticipation. It’s a good time to pretend… Uh… to unite people.”
Looking at the crowd who was whispering or talking via voice transmission, Han Fei smiled. There were really a lot of people! The surrounding buildings and places where people could stand were all full of people. There were also law enforcers flying in the sky, waiting quietly.
Seeing these people, Han Fei couldn’t help sighing. If he became a king in the future, it would be great to have so many people watching him.
After about half an hour, those who were supposed to come had all come. Those who couldn’t squeeze in could only listen at the periphery. However, after this lecture, everyone inside and outside of Yu City would know the contents.
Two sledgehammers appeared in Han Fei’s hands and he struck them with a clang.
Han Fei: “Be quiet.”
When the discussion gradually died down, Han Fei put away the sledgehammers and stood aside with the slightly uneasy Ximen Linglan.
Han Fei’s voice resounded through the sky like thunder, “Everyone, I think you have already heard the rumors about the Avenger. Yes, just like you, we were once forced to leave our hometown by the big clans. We, as well as the big clans, know very well how the big clans oppressed humans, seizing resources, squeezing out tens of thousands of people, and committing countless crimes. Therefore, we came back, holding our dreams and seeking revenge on them. Fortunately, we won…”
“Roar!”
“Good job.”
“The Avenger is invincible.”
In the void, the three Venerables’ faces were livid. The big clans had just left, and this b * stard had come to ruin the reputation of the big clans. Although they didn’t have a good reputation, it was embarrassing to be told off like this.
The beast king had come too. How could he miss such a grand event?
Han Fei knocked the hammers and shouted again, “The Sea Clan wants to destroy the human race. Our human race is plagued by internal and external troubles. How can we resist intruders in this case? This move of the Avenger complies with the mandate of heaven. 18 years ago, the Grand Myriad Mountains, human beings, and the Venerables of the Blackstone City joined forces to attack the Sea Clan, winning us the time of 500 years. You can also understand it as a golden age. Out of troubled times come heroes. The person beside me is the abandoned daughter of the Ximen family from Yu City, Ximen Linglan. Her level-eight spiritual heritage was seized when she was young. Unwilling to succumb to fate, she entered the mountains to seek the Dao and explored millions of kilometers of sea. In this chaotic world, she harbors the desire to take revenge and save tens of thousands of people from fire and water. This return of hers is to liberate the entire Yu City and let everyone in Yu City be a free person…”
“Roar! Roar!”
“Ximen Linglan, Ximen Linglan…”
“The heroine of our times, Ximen Linglan…”
“Okay, I swear to follow her to death.”
Han Fei didn’t care what the audience was shouting about. He was thinking about what to say next.
However, Ximen Linglan was very embarrassed and said via voice transmission, “Why are you talking about me? What do you mean by heroine? I don’t have any ambition!”
Han Fei said, “Don’t panic. Calm down.”
Han Fei continued to shout loudly, “Today, with the joint support of all the senior executives and Venerable-level powerhouses on the Avenger, Ximen Linglan, shall be the city lord of Yu City, teach cultivation techniques and combat skills to everyone, control the fisheries, help villages and towns, reduce taxes, and punish looting… Anyway, she’ll settle all injustice in the world.”
Someone raised his arms and roared.
Countless people shouted at the same time and their sounds were like waves. “We support City Lord Xi’men ~”
Someone shed tears. “The dawn is really the dawn ~”
Behind Han Fei, Jia Wuxing and the others stood straight. So they had become senior executives of the Avenger? Their faces were glowing with pride.
Han Fei chuckled and hammered again. He turned his head to look at Ximen Linglan, then handed over a jade slip. “Read it.”
Ximen Linglan’s head was buzzing. How did she become the city lord? Wasn’t he the city lord?
Ximen Linglan hurriedly said, “How can I be the city lord, not you?”
Han Fei said, “The city should be managed by the strongest. You’re an Explorer, and I’m a Law Enforcer. So you’re more suitable to be the city lord! Hurry up and read it. Don’t make them wait long.”
Ximen Linglan held the jade slip and scanned it with her spiritual power. She immediately became tense, and her head was still buzzing. She felt that besides reading words, she didn’t know anything else. She was just a reading machine.
But she was an Explorer anyway.
Ximen Linglan quickly calmed down, maintaining a cold posture, thinking to herself that there were only fish heads below.
“Yes, they’re all fish heads. I’m reading to fish heads.”
Under the expectant gaze of everyone, Ximen Linglan slowly said, “I am Ximen Linglan. I announce that everyone living in Yu City, no matter in the city or the villages, shall forever be free at this time and in the future…”
Below, a storm of cheers was surging. The shouts were deafening and filled the sky.
Ximen Linglan was taken aback for a moment, and then quickly continued, “Whether it is the big clans of the past, the current Avenger, or the future city lord, they will recognize and guarantee your freedom. When any member of the people strives for their freedom, no one is allowed to do anything to suppress them.”
Amidst the cries of billions of people, Ximen Linglan relaxed a little and continued to read, “However, under the rule of Yu City, there are hundreds of millions of people, so the law must be enforced in case anyone with ill intentions tries to cause harm. Human beings should be wholeheartedly committed to preventing killing, looting, and rioting, and bullying the weak… Human beings should focus their attention on the future, on resisting the Sea Clan. To continue human lifeblood, everyone needs to work together. Only when everyone is united can it be done…”
Under the expectant gaze of everyone, Ximen Linglan took a deep breath. “Now, with my authority, I officially announce that the former Yu City has gone. Today’s Yu City will be renamed as the City of Justice, to fight for the rise of the human race and for the justice in our hearts.”
Han Fei watched with a smile on the side.
When there were really too many people, he couldn’t hear what were they talking about at all. He could only hear one or two voices from them, mostly roars.
What Ximen Linglan wanted to do was to establish the image of the city lord. As for other things, the city lord didn’t have to say much, as long as the people regarded her as a god.
Han Fei took over the conversation and shouted, “The City of Justice has just been established and needs talents. The strong have the obligation and responsibility of the strong. Now, the city lord has drafted individual explorers, law enforcers, and talented Hidden Fishers to govern this city.”
Swish swish swish!
One figure after another was already in the air, looking quite eager.
At this moment, many people also realized that this was a great opportunity. If they joined the Avengers, they would be allies from now on.
However, Han Fei also saw many people’s faces change.
In the crowd, someone shouted, “Don’t listen to him. Isn’t he just like the big clans? He’s trying to win over the strong and exploit the people. Do you really think he’s here to liberate us?! They just hide their real intentions a little bit deeper!”
“They just want the strong. What about ordinary people like us?”
“This is unfair!”
“What the f*ck do you know? Do you expect the city lord to manage everything on her own?”
“Are you out of your mind? Do you have anything to exploit?”
For a moment, the crowd was divided into two groups. Han Fei’s eyes flickered.
Clang!
Han Fei’s voice echoed, “All those who are drafted will be subject to the supervision of the mass, and they will be severely punished if they commit any crimes.”
Sure enough, when Han Fei said this, many people relaxed and continued to cheer.
Of course, someone shouted, “Don’t listen to him. The strong will only protect the strong. Why would they think about us?”
Shua!
Han Fei suddenly disappeared and captured the person in an instant. Controlling this person with the Void Lines, he curled his lips and thought to himself: What a bunch of fools.
Han Fei controlled the man to show his real appearance and shouted, “Does anyone know this person?”
Immediately, many people exclaimed, “I know this person. He’s from the Zhou family.”
Someone said angrily, “Damn it, isn’t that Zhou Xiaotian?”
Then, Han Fei grinned. “Everyone, there are many people from big clans in the crowd. Pay attention to the people around you. Once you confirm it, you can directly injure them and send them here. Once their identity is confirmed, they will be killed on the spot.”
Bang!
The member of the Zhou family controlled by Han Fei was directly shattered into a bloody mist.
Han Fei grinned. “Don’t forget that although we are righteous, we are also avengers!”
“Good job.”
“The City of Justice cannot be sullied by the big clans.”
“Everyone, look for them.”
“He is Yang Tai. I can’t be wrong. He is from the Yang family.”
“I found one too. He’s definitely from the Dongfang family. He has a birthmark on his neck.”
“Yes, look at this one…”
Instantly, the scene was chaotic.
Ximen Linglan asked telepathically: Will there be a mess?
Han Fei shook his head. “If we want to control the situation, we have to resolve the destabilizing factors first. This is not an era of peace but a chaotic world. In chaotic times, we should be ferocious to seize the people’s hearts and get rid of dissidents. Let’s nurture the consciousness of the city people first.”
Almost in a moment, more than 80 people with swollen noses and faces were thrown out. There were also more who hadn’t been caught and had slipped away in the chaos.
Han Fei looked at those people indifferently. “I’ll give you a reason to explain in front of the mass. If your reason makes sense, you can leave. You have ten seconds.”
Immediately, someone scrambled and shouted, “I’m just a relative of the big clan. I wasn’t taken away.”
However, as soon as the man finished speaking, someone said, “My lord, don’t listen to him. He shouted so loudly just now, telling us not to trust the city lord. What a b * stard.”
“Yes, I can prove it.”
“And me.”
“We all heard it.”
Han Fei tilted his head and looked at the man, who choked. “No, I…”
Han Fei sighed. “Thank you for being the first to come out to die.”
“Pfft!”
After killing him, Han Fei looked at the others. “What do you think?”
Those who were caught in public were the ones who didn’t know how to hide themselves. They were the ones who yelled the loudest just now. Therefore, they were basically not wronged at all. They couldn’t come up with a decent reason.
Suddenly, someone shouted, “Explode yourselves!”
Swish!
At the moment when the man shouted, a white light flashed past. With the Draw Technique, these people who didn’t even have the strength of a Hanging Fisher couldn’t defend themselves.
“Good job.”
“These b * stards died too easily.”
“They deserve to die.”
In the void, the Venerables snorted and left.
After executing a group of people, Han Fei turned around and shouted, “Everyone, I only hope that you are vigilant. In the coming period of time, there will be some related decrees in the City of Justice. All the city gates will be put on a fish skin notice. Now, I want to announce something else.”
When the crowd calmed down, Han Fei shouted, “In a month, no matter if it’s the City of Justice or the subordinate towns, all youths who are about to have their spiritual beasts awakened can gather in the city. At that time, it will be the first large-scale free awakening since the founding of the City of Justice. Don’t miss it.”
…
Seven days passed.
In his experience, Han Fei reorganized the City of Justice.
This was something that Ximen Linglan couldn’t do. However, he actually didn’t know much about it. The best way was to use the existing plans of the floating islands and the Scattered Stars Island.
At this moment, in the construction site of a certain big clan, Han Fei and Ximen Linglan were sitting in a large tent.
They certainly had to build the city lord’s mansion, but they didn’t need to do that. The two of them had been busy these days.
With a swish, someone pushed open the tent and came in. “Marshal Han, the areas in the north, south, east, and west have been divided. The plan for the bazaar follows the previous. It won’t change much.”
Han Fei said without raising his head, “OK, go and arrange for all the big clans’ mansions to be dismantled. Build some Logistics Exchange, Refining Hall, alchemy workshops, Dangling Fishers’ Union, and Pioneer Group…”
“Yes, Marshal Han.”
Splash!
Another person came into the tent. “Marshal Han, under your command, in the recruiting crowd, according to the will of ordinary people, 100 law enforcers and 800 Hidden Fishers have been assigned to four jurisdictions.”
Han Fei said, “It’s not enough. How can such a huge city have so few people? However, there’s no need to be in a rush. You have to consider the number of people used. The remaining people will be assigned to the law enforcement team to conduct daily city management and be supervised by the people.”
“Yes, Marshal Han.”
Whoosh!
Yi Yue walked in. “Marshal Han, City Lord, at present, a large number of people have entered the City of Justice from the towns around, saying that they want to learn cultivation techniques and combat skills. However, there are too many people in the city, so it’s not easy to arrange. The library at the center of the City of Justice we set up has almost been squeezed through.”
Han Fei glanced at Yi Yue. “Put a fish skin notice outside the library and tell them to wait a few days. When the time comes, there will be specialists going to the major villages and towns to teach them in person. In addition, every village and town can arrange for 10 people to come over to copy cultivation techniques and combat skills.”
Yi Yue glanced at Ximen Linglan who seemed to be racking her brain and thinking about something, turned around, and quickly left.
Han Fei said, “Phew! It’s tiring to be an Emperor!”
Ximen Linglan was puzzled. “What is an Emperor?”
Han Fei waved his hand. “Nothing. How is the employment hall you set up?”
Ximen Linglan shook her head helplessly. “This is very difficult to design!”
Han Fei took the pile of fish skin maps in front of Ximen Linglan and said, “It’s actually not difficult. The Employment Hall only needs two functions. Release tasks and accept tasks. Whoever finishes the task will take away the employment money. The Employment Hall only takes away the basic service charge.”
“What if, at the same time, many people go to complete missions?”
Han Fei said, “That’s simple. It depends on team or individual missions. If an individual mission has been taken, don’t release it to the public anymore.”
Ximen Linglan asked, “What about credits? Why shall we give credits to the people who take a mission?”
Han Fei said, “Give them something to pursue. If they can increase their employment level with credits and exchange them for resources, more people will accept missions!”
Ximen Linglan pushed all the things to Han Fei. “But do we have enough Spirit Awakening Fluid? What if we can’t make ends meet?”
Han Fei thought to himself: I have more than enough of that. But he just said unhurriedly, “This is the first part to earn the people’s heart. It doesn’t matter what we do. What matters is that we have started to do it.”
…
Half a month later.
While Han Fei and Ximen Linglan were discussing, the outside was crowded.
These days were the busiest days in the history of the City of Justice.
The registration office of the law enforcement team was jam-packed with people.
Someone complained, “Isn’t this too slow?”
Someone sneered. “If you think it’s slow, leave the queue! The city lord is carefully screening the law enforcers. Do you think anyone can enter?”
Cao Xuan came from the village and went to sea. It was said that the current Yu City had changed into the City of Justice. The big clans were gone. The Avenger had liberated the city and brought freedom and justice to everyone.
At first, he didn’t believe it. However, since entering the city today, he was stunned. Was this the Yu City he knew?
This was because they saw an announcement at the gate of the city that as long as one joined the law enforcement team, they could read any cultivation techniques or combat skills. If they succeeded in entering the team, they would be rewarded with a low-quality divine weapon.
At that time, Cao Xuan was tempted.
Looking at the long queue at the registration office, Cao Xuan said, “Bro, let me cut in line, OK?”
Immediately, a bunch of people turned around and glared at him. “Which son of a b * tch said he wanted to cut in line?”
Cao Xuan immediately shrank his neck. He couldn’t even cut in line now?
Cao Xuan was stunned and quickly laughed. “I’ll line up. I’ll line up.”
Seeing that there were too many people, Cao Xuan was stunned and didn’t know where to go.
Someone laughed. “Bro, you just came back from the sea, right? Just forget about joining the law enforcement team. Without the strength of a Hidden Fisher, how can you enter the law enforcement team?”
Cao Xuan was speechless. Are Hidden Fishers so cheap? But I’ll make a breakthrough soon!
Someone said, “You’ve just come back from the sea. You should go to the Logistics Division! There, you can exchange for the materials you want. The service charge is very low, only 10%.”
Cao Xuan’s eyes glittered. “Really?”
…
In the four districts, there were only 120 windows in total in the Logistics Divisions. Every day, these places were overcrowded.
The four Logistics Divisions had a long queue from morning to night. It could be seen that there were definitely a lot of people exchanging for supplies.
In fact, most people couldn’t exchange high-end supplies!
Therefore, the mission of the Logistics Division was to receive a pile of materials from one person, and then give the materials to those who wanted them. The service charge received was only ten percent.
At this moment, Cao Xuan looked at the people who were even more than those in the law enforcement team and was dumbfounded. How long would he have to wait?
Just as Cao Xuan was hesitating whether to wait or not, he suddenly heard someone shout, “Good news, good news, the Logistics Division is expanding. Does anyone want to enter the Logistics Division? Seven days a duty, and the benefits are extremely good. If you come in, you’ll be given 2 catties of spiritual spring, and the benefits are comparable to that of the law enforcement team. You’ll also have a priority to exchange for the resources in the Logistics Division.”
Buzz!
In an instant, Cao Xuan was pushed away by someone, and those people rushed forward like crazy.
In an instant, heads were rolling and people shouted, “Me! I want to join.”
“Me, I came first.”
“Me, I’m a peak-level great fishing master.”
“I’m a peak-level Hanging Fisher.”
“Huh? You’re a Hanging Fisher? Why are you here? Go to the Employment Hall. You can earn more there. There are all kinds of missions.”
“Oh, really? Where is the Employment Hall?”
Cao Xuan asked, “What kind of place is that? Forget it. Anyway, the queue is too long here. Let me go somewhere else first…”
