Chapter 453: Trash Cutting (1)
 

” The Third Prince has returned. The Third Prince has returned safe and sound. Go and welcome the Third Prince and report to the ministers. ”

” Your Highness Zhu is finally back. We don’t have to be bullied by Liang Jingyan, Pan Yufeng, and the Scorpion Mountain anymore. From now on, the Endless Snake Marsh will still belong to us. No one can take it away, and no one can take the peaches. ”

” The Crown Prince has come back at the right time. Yesterday, the Scorpion Mountain was still saying that something had happened to the Crown Prince and that the test of the Endless Snake Marsh had failed. They wanted to take the test again and seize the ownership of the Endless Snake Marsh. I didn’t expect that the Crown Prince would come back today. ”

“If I’m not wrong, after experiencing this calamity, not only did the Crown Prince’s strength not suffer any damage, but it even increased by a level. At least…At the very least, he has reached the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm!”

“Hiss…”

..

Zhu Wuan had deliberately exposed his strength in the aspect of Qi Refinement without concealing it at all. Therefore, any cultivator could sense the astonishing power fluctuation on Zhu Wuan’s body. It was the Nascent Soul fluctuation of a perfected Nascent Soul cultivator.

Thick, terrifying, and vast!

He was so close to the Soul Formation Stage that he had already left the category of low-level crown princes. At this moment, Zhu Wuan’s Qi Refinement strength was so strong that he could barely be considered to be in the middle level among the many crown princes of the Thousand Poisons Sect. He was no longer in the lower level, which was the weakest group.

Both the cultivators from the outside world and the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect were shocked when they sensed Zhu Wuan’s strength. After all, Zhu Wuan had only reached the early-stage Nascent Soul realm more than a year ago.

According to the normal cultivation process, even the top cultivation geniuses in the Southern Wasteland would need at least 100 years to reach the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm.

However, Zhu Wanhao had broken through the bottlenecks and stepped into the perfected Nascent Soul realm in just over a year, which was equivalent to the time it took for an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator to enter seclusion.

This was a little too fast!

Hearing the commotion outside, Peng Yingzhi, He Sheng, and Wen Kui only…He rushed out impatiently, his face filled with disbelief.

Master, you’re finally back! ”

Peng Yingzhi, who was sobbing, was the first to throw herself into Zhu Wuyang’s arms. She buried her small head into Zhu Wuyang’s arms and cried so hard that Zhu Wuyang’s clothes were soon wet.

Zhu Wanhao quickly hugged her soft body tightly and patted her gently. “”Don’t worry, I’m fine. I’m very good now.”

“Master, congratulations on your return.”

“Third Prince, I’m sorry to disappoint you that Wu Peak has been in such a mess recently.”

“Many of the people from Wuyan Peak have left. Please punish them, Crown Prince.”

..

Wen Kuizhi, Wen Yuannian, Wang Yuliang, and the other higher-ups also prostrated themselves before Zhu Wuyang. Their faces were filled with unconcealable joy. With Zhu Wuyang’s return, the entire Wuyang City, the entire Endless Snake Marsh, and the entire Wuyang Peak could be considered to have a soul.

Moreover, Zhu Wuyang did not return with an injured body. Instead, she returned with strength that far exceeded her previous strength. This was even more surprising.

Looking at the higher-ups who were obviously much more haggard than before, Zhu Wuwan smiled and said, “” If the old doesn’t go, the new won’t come. During this period of time, there have been too many people pouring into Wuyang Peak. The good and bad are mixed together and it’s getting more and more chaotic. I’ll take this opportunity to sort things out. ”

“Originally, I could have come back earlier, but after some consideration, I decided to come back a few days later.”

Zhu Wuyang did not hide her intention to return late. When she said this, the nearly 100 higher-ups who had just gathered were all shocked.

” To be honest, I am already very satisfied with the number of people who have stayed behind. In the future, you will be the backbone of Wuyang Peak. Wuyang Peak will continue to develop and grow with you as the center. ”

“Also, take this opportunity to set the requirements and standards for joining Wuyang Peak. Don’t take in those messy fellows anymore. I believe that after this incident, you should know what kind of cultivators Wuyang Peak should recruit in the future.”

” Those forces and individuals who have already left Wuyang Peak will never be hired again. The monthly salary of all those who stay will be doubled. ” Zhu Wuyang’s expression was cold.

With a big stick in one hand and a sweet date in the other, Zhu Wuyan used it very easily.

To be honest, the forces and individuals who were able to stay on Wuyang Peak under such circumstances could be considered loyal.

After all, Wuyang Peak had been facing internal and external troubles recently and could collapse at any time. Liang Jingyan, Pan Yufeng, and the Scorpion Mountain Range were threatening it step by step. People and forces were leaving Wuyang Peak every day.

In just a few months, Wuyan Peak, which originally had nearly three million cultivators, had less than three hundred thousand cultivators left. Among them, only a few thousand were official disciples of Nine Dragon Mountain, and the rest were affiliated cultivators.

Just the number of affiliated cultivators under Wen Kui and Wen Yuannian’s control had already exceeded 100,000, and the quality was not bad.

Therefore, at this moment, only one-tenth of the cultivators were still on Wuyang Peak. As for the forces, they were not even one-tenth.

However, even so, these cultivators who had experienced hardships with Wuyan Peak were comparable to the dozens of fence-sitters from before. They would also become the core forces of Wuyan Peak, especially those official disciples of Nine Dragon Mountain.

Doing so could be considered as ruthlessly screening out the good and bad people mixed in Wuyang Peak, allowing Wuyang Peak to cut off a large number of trash so that they could go into battle lightly in the future.

It seemed that there were fewer cultivators left behind, but their cohesion and overall strength did not decrease much. Instead, they had strengthened to a certain extent.

After this lesson and test, any cultivator of Wuyang Peak would think twice before leaving or betraying Wuyang Peak in the future, so as to avoid repeating the mistakes of their predecessors.

Surrounded by many higher-ups, Zhu Wuyang came to the main hall of the Endless Underground Palace and began to understand the situation of Wuyang Peak during this period of time. He knew which individuals and forces had left, and which resources and treasures no longer belonged to Wuyang Peak.

After all, when many people and forces joined Wuyang Peak, they brought some convenience and resources to Wuyang Peak as a qualification for promotion. Now that these people and forces left, they naturally left with their things.

There were even some who went overboard. When they left, not only did they have to take the things that they had given to Wuyang Peak, but they also had to bring back more things. If it weren’t for Wen Kuizhi, Wen Yuannian, and the others forcefully stopping them, they were afraid that Wuyang Peak would have been robbed clean by now.

This time, the Wen Clan, the most powerful clan under Zhu Wuwan’s command, had contributed greatly to the fact that Wuwan Peak was able to retain most of its resources and treasures. This made Zhu Wuwan once again feel fortunate for her ability to judge people. Although she had given two important departments to the Wen Clan, the Wen Clan’s contribution was worthy of Zhu Wuwan’s trust.

Even so, with the support of Liang Jingyan, Pan Yufeng, Scorpion Mountain Range, and other forces, some individuals and forces who left Wuyang Peak still took some good things from Wuyang Peak.

Zhu Wuyang naturally would not tolerate such individuals and forces. He immediately issued a notice to them to hand over the things they took from Wuyang Peak and punish them severely.

As for whether these individuals and forces would resist?

With the return of Zhu Wuwan, Liang Jingyan and Pan Yufeng would not make things difficult for Zhu Wuwan if they were smart enough. Without their support, Zhu Wuwan believed that these people and forces would listen to them obediently unless they left Nine Dragon Mountain and fled to Scorpio Mountain.

The reward that should be rewarded, the punishment that should be punished…In just half a day’s time, Zhu Wuyang had tidied up the chaotic Wuyang Peak in an orderly manner. Everyone seemed to have been injected with chicken blood and began to do things according to Zhu Wuyang’s instructions.

After experiencing this, he believed that Wuyang Peak would also be destroyed and rebuilt. In the future, it would develop and strengthen at an even faster speed.

At this moment, Zhu Wuhao received a message from his master, Cai Chaoan, asking him to meet him.

This was what should be done. Zhu Wuyang had originally planned to go over after the meeting, so he quickly rushed to Cai Chaoan’s residence in Wuyang City.
