190: Use natives to fight natives!
Helplessly, Huang Que could only accept everything that was happening with terror.
Fortunately, this smiling fellow in front of him had no intention of killing him.
Since he couldn't resist, he could only silently endure it.
Soon, Huang Que felt no pressure around his body.
Clearly, all the power had gathered towards his forehead.
Huang Que knew very well that this time, whatever thoughts he had would be useless.
When all the power gathered at Huang Que's brow, Qian Zhen also slowly lifted his hand that was resting on Huang Que's forehead.
What appeared was a complex white pattern.
Seeing this, Chen De also understood what it was.
Chen De thought of the formation he encountered when he first entered the Seeking Immortality Realm, and the ball of light that integrated into his body.
It was that light orb with functions like turning people into bombs, and positioning, etc.
Now, Chen De saw that this elder's method seemed very similar to that light orb.
Or rather, that grand formation was most likely from the hand of this elder.
However, seeing how much effort this elder was putting in, the method left on Huang Que's body was probably more than just making a bomb.
After releasing Huang Que, Huang Que only felt a wave of lightness throughout his body.
But when he checked his body's condition, he immediately showed a smile uglier than crying.
But at the moment, he didn't dare to act rashly, and his words became even more fawning, "Thank you, esteemed sir, for bestowing upon me the Divine Seal!"
Qian Zhen smiled and nodded, looking harmless.
However, seeing the scene of his earlier rampage, Chen De would not think so.
After witnessing Qian Zhen's methods, Huang Que felt even more uneasy.
He simply continued to kneel on the ground and didn't get up.
Looking at the lowly Huang Que before them, there was no ripple in anyone's eyes.
This world had always been like this; in the eyes of the strong, there was no place for the weak.
Qian Zhen reached out and gently patted Huang Que's face, saying softly, "Do you know what you should do?"
Huang Que nodded vigorously, indicating that he knew, "This humble one knows, this humble one knows. Sir wants this humble one to lead the way for him, to find resources, to find people, to find..."
Hearing this, the onlookers all burst into laughter.
Not one of them considered Huang Que's feelings, which made Huang Que feel a hint of humiliation.
Unfortunately, now he had no power to fight back.
He only hoped that in the end, these fellows would spare his life.
Thinking of this, Huang Que became even more submissive.
Qian Zhen, hearing this, also showed a satisfied smile and nodded, "Very good, everyone is very satisfied with your answer.
Since that's the case, shall we depart soon?"
As he spoke, he patted Huang Que's shoulder, seemingly wanting to help him up.
However, it only looked like he wanted to help him up.
Because Huang Que could clearly feel that Qian Zhen's hand, when placed on him, had no strength.
Huang Que naturally wouldn't embarrass Qian Zhen, nor would he dare to offend him.
Even if Qian Zhen was just going through the motions, Huang Que still stood up with him.
He also kept declining, saying he didn't dare to accept such great kindness...
The first thing the elders wanted Huang Que to do was to gather as many people as possible.
To gather the people of Huangji City as much as possible within a certain range.
However, gathering everyone near the inner city was definitely unrealistic.
But they could use multiple areas as centers, and gather all the people near those areas.
This way, the scope might still be quite large.
But for the people of Qiu Xian Hall, this was enough.
They were all high-level profound practitioners, considered upper-middle tier even in the Four Profound Heavens.
Each person covering a small area, even if the range was slightly larger, they should be able to handle it.
What's more, they also had an additional group of people.
That was - Huang Que!
To show Huang Que's sincerity, the Qiu Xian Hall elder specifically assigned him the inner city area, the city center.
His wives, concubines, children, and some relatives lived there.
These people were, after all, Huang Que's family, and the elders gave him some face.
Let Huang Que himself personally deal with them.
Not only that, to stimulate Huang Que's interest in the task and express his loyalty.
The elders also specifically set a time limit for Huang Que, requiring him to complete the task within a certain period.
Sure enough, once a time limit was imposed, Huang Que immediately rushed in with red eyes, howling.
As soon as he entered the Imperial City, he saw a young man who seemed to be about to leave the city for a trip.
This was Huang Que's most beloved son - Huang Kun!
He didn't expect the father and son to be so fated; as soon as he left the city, he ran into Huang Que face to face.
Huang Kun was also a little surprised to see his father return, and happily shouted, "Dad! You're back, how is it, have those idiots been dealt with yet...?"
The 'idiots' Huang Kun referred to were naturally the people of Qiu Xian Hall.
After all, in his opinion, with Huang Que in charge of Huangji City, anyone who dared to cause trouble, what were they if not idiots?
However, Huang Kun saw that his father's expression seemed a little off.
Huang Que looked at his most beloved son with no expression on his face.
Without hesitation, he swung his hand, slapping him into a pulp.
The pulp, mixed with blood, splattered onto Huang Que's face, but Huang Que neither dodged nor resisted.
He reached out and gently touched the pulp splattered on his face.
He showed no reaction, but instead cast his gaze into the city.
What happened earlier was just the beginning.
Thus, Huang Que went directly from outside the inner city to the center of the inner city.
Upon arriving here, Huang Que immediately followed the instructions of the Qiu Xian Hall elders.
He ordered his subordinates to gather people from their respective nearby areas, centered around certain locations.
The people in the inner city were to gather as much as possible around this center.
Huang Que's subordinates vaguely felt that something might have happened.
However, this was not something they, as subordinates, could manage; they only had to execute orders.
For so many years, whatever Huang Que said, they did, and it was always right!
Immediately, Huang Que's subordinates mobilized according to his instructions.
Watching the busy crowd, suddenly, a hint of emotion stirred in Huang Que's eyes.
At this moment, Huang Kun's birth mother also walked out and came to Huang Que's side.
She was incomparably beautiful, leaning against Huang Que's chest, "City Lord, has something happened? Kun'er just went out of the city to play, it's not again, is it?"
Hearing this, Huang Que gently patted the delicate body in his arms and spoke to comfort her, "It's alright, with me here, Kun'er will be fine."
This was his most beloved among all his wives and concubines, and his fondness for Huang Kun was mostly an extension of his love for her.
Hearing Huang Que's words, the beautiful woman gradually felt at ease.
She understood that her husband was the most top-tier profound practitioner on the entire Xuanzhe Continent.
No matter what he did, Huang Que always gave her a deep sense of security.
Just like that, Huang Que held the beautiful woman, gently patting her.
After a long time, the beautiful woman suddenly opened her eyes, filled with disbelief!
