Chapter 751 404: Old Demon Duan, an Immortal Has Really Come to Deal with You!
It's been several months since Wangchun City transformed into a Heroic Land.
The place once vilified as the Demon Cave, far from having fewer people, now has even more.
Especially after the autumn harvest, local people truly kept their grain without paying taxes, and what they planted became theirs. Business people in the city said they earned more now, without protection fees and high management fees.
Thus, some who had followed the Mo Sect returned.
But after returning, everything was different.
Most of those who mixed with the Mo Sect were money-eyed opportunists. They left, thinking the Wangchun City area was doomed and would soon be turned to ruins by Old Demon Duan and his gang of demons. So they sold their properties cheaply and left outright.
What upset them most was that after they left, not only did Old Demon Duan not ruin Wangchun City, but he made it thrive. Without Mo Sect's cuts, they earned even more than before!
Some people were tempted, slinking back, only to find it was now impossible to buy back the cheaply sold properties.
Wangchun City and its surroundings now had a sense of Yun State's return, attracting many people from nearby, making shops and properties more valuable than under Mo Sect's management.
These people could be said to have gambled wrong. Watching what should have been their good life now belong to others, those who once followed them lived far better, it made their eyes red with envy.
They instinctively wanted to kill, to snatch back what was theirs, but the wicked thing was, under Old Demon Duan's Heroic Order, no killing, no robbing, even getting caught stealing meant punishment.
This group stayed behind, unable to stop feeling envious and regretful, saying how much better other places were, and lamenting the lack of liberty in Wangchun City for not killing, raping, robbing, or stealing, which felt like being imprisoned.
When others asked why they didn't leave if other places were better, and why come back after leaving, they mumbled about nostalgia, unwilling to watch their hometown fall into demon hands.
Those who left and didn't return refused to believe Wangchun City could really be more profitable, with grain owned by those who planted it.
Whenever someone praised Wangchun City, they couldn't help but rebut: "Good? How could there be such goodness in a Demon Cave? Only fools believe that!"
"I escaped from there; under Old Demon Duan, Wangchun City's people are miserably suffering, they're lying to you all."
"Only fools like you think it's good there!"
Because of their angry tone and being outsiders, many of them were beaten up, yet even on their knees pleading, they stubbornly believed Wangchun City was a hellish Demon Cave, devoid of any goodness.
But they probably knew this was self-deception, getting so angry they couldn't sleep at night, cursing Old Demon Duan.
Golden grain and bright Silver given to the poor, such heinous deeds Old Demon Duan truly did!
Heaven has no eyes!
When will this demon die!
When will he die a terrible, dismembered death!
As Wangchun City's population grew, Duan Yun sometimes found no peace.
Too many Evil Demons hated their Jade Pearl Heroes!
With many seeing their group of heroes as thorny enemies.
But since the prime weapon of Tianzhou, Lei Ying, was captured by Old Demon Duan, even the Gu Family's Young Master hasn't acted immediately. Naturally, these people dared not confront the Jade Pearl Heroes head-on.
Yet they could still play dirty.
For instance, after the autumn harvest, a type of person emerged, the kind the Jade Pearl Heroes most despised, the "Heroic Villain."
On the surface, they responded to the call of the Jade Pearl Heroes to be Heroes, but in secret, they committed evil deeds, then pinned the blame on directives from the Jade Pearl Heroes.
These people were clearly under Evil Demons' control, acting for money. Duan Yun had already executed six with extreme measures.
Upon hearing the news, other Heroic Villains dared not act, even for money, and began fleeing, but the Jade Pearl Heroes had a policy to kill all enemies without exception.
Thus, the Murong and Ning Qing brothers had proactively gone to hunt down these fleeing Heroic Villains.
Those who tarnished the Jade Pearl Heroes' reputation would be killed, no matter where they fled!
Many people have come to the Wangchun City area, more or less escaping from elsewhere.
Because the outside Martial World's Evil Demons were blocking others from coming to Wangchun City, many who arrived were injured.
For a time, doctors' clinics were overwhelmed, with Duan Yun often spending a lot of time treating people.
As a result, his reputation as a doctor also grew.
Now in the Wangchun City area, it's widely said he not only excels in martial arts but also surpasses Jiangzhong Sect's Divine Doctor in medicine, with low fees to boot.
Some rumors even say there's nothing Young Hero Duan can't do, even the improbable of giving birth alone.
These rumors were so exaggerated, they gave Duan Yun a headache.
One day, Duan Yun had just finished business in Wangchun City, sitting on the golden chair of the deceased Mo Sect Elder Li Mofei, sipping tea.
Just after sipping the tea made by Li Mofei's third wife, someone came to see him.
"Divine Doctor Duan, there's a patient we can't handle!"
The visitor was Li Dakan, who could be considered Mo Sect Elder Li Mofei's uncle.
Li Dakan was different from Li Mofei; though his position in Mo Sect wasn't low, he rarely participated in power struggles.
Or rather, he was only immersed in his own affairs.
