"Therefore..."

"Today, Song Yuan is here to bear the brunt and atone, to call forth the 'Yunluan Order', to form a Demon Hunting Alliance, and to initiate a hunt for her, Song Brahman Mirror!"

"Anyone who can capture or kill her and send her back to Yunluan."

"The Yunluan Mountain's three 'True Orthodox' secret skills are open for their understanding, and even if they do not align with the True Orthodox Technique, their descendants... are also eligible!"

Wow!!

This kneeling by Song Yuan, this promise!

Caused all the martial artists who came to inquire to feel a sharp jolt in their hearts, and they couldn't help but look at each other.

Every martial artist knows that techniques should not be lightly taught.

And this time Song Yuan...

Has uprooted the very foundation of the entire Yunluan Mountain!

With this kneeling, although from now on he will become a laughingstock, yet consider...

Which martial artist can still afford to lose face and wish to kill him?

It's known that,

Unless several Primordial Pill experts join forces, otherwise, Song Yuan at the peak of the Primordial Pill...

is not a weakling!

Among these dozens of Primordial Pill experts...

Only a few are direct blood relatives of the deceased Celestial Prides!

So...

Some people's hearts were fiercely moved.

Only Ruan Xiuxiu, after facing the storm, had her back drenched in cold sweat, and upon seeing so many Primordial Pill martial artists coveting Song Brahman Mirror...

Her complexion turned pale:

"Previously, two Fourth Step Experts chased the Master of Great Snow Mountain for a thousand miles, saying that her aura had dissipated, probably already seated in meditation. Coupled with the northwest turmoil, they all went to the front line and didn't stay behind."

"But with Song Brahman Mirror, is Song Chai Xin!"

"Song Chai Xin, that stubborn one, Song Brahman Mirror betrays the sect, colludes with outsiders, for her own selfish desires, dragging the entire Yunluan Mountain to be buried with her, how can such a person... still be worthy of such pure affection?"

"Really a stubborn mind, even if it's a debt of gratitude for saving your life, you should have fully repaid her, but by all means, do not make any 'single-minded' moves!"

Thinking of this.

Ruan Xiuxiu remembered Song Chai Xin's identity as 'Black Mountain Guardian.'

So, after the uproar passed, she quickly used her position as Demon Suppression Bureau Chief to send a letter to her subordinates in Black Mountain City, instructing them to inform her immediately if Song Chai Xin returns!

...

Black Mountain City.

Song Chai Xin brought Song Brahman Mirror to this city he had been guarding for several months.

All along the way,

Song Brahman Mirror was observing everything with a curious gaze.

She was draped in a white robe, with a veil as thin as a cicada's wings on her face, adding a touch of mystery to her presence as she followed beside Song Chai Xin.

She had been to Wutong Prefecture.

But a 'great city' in such a remote area, this was her first visit.

The last time she descended the mountain, the farthest place she had been was Xuanqing City, to slay demons and bring Song Chai Xin back.

"These people seem to respect you greatly."

Song Brahman Mirror observed attentively.

She had seen other Seventh-Grade Guardians in other cities before, but the people there never dared to look directly at such a 'Governor-like' figure, let alone held respect in their eyes.

Martial Artists have always been high above.

And a town guardian, all the more so.

Guarding one side is their duty, but similarly, it's only natural to fill one's pocket with the city's taxes for cultivation resources.

Would you take another look at the tenant farmers whose labor supports a million households working for you for life?

So, Song Brahman Mirror was very curious.

How did the man she chose accomplish all this?

From Black Mountain Outer City, to the Three-ring Street, to the Inner City.

Whether they were constables, ordinary merchants, civilians, or the martial soldiers of the Inner City.

When they saw the youth in the profound robe by her side,

Even though he wasn't dressed in that distinctive crimson robe, nor was there the clash and overlap of the Guardian Order and Town Guardian Seal, offering a crisp sound representing 'authority.'

They could still feel the genuine respect emanating from these people.

Extremely rare and precious.

"Because I provided them with a 'path' for upward advancement, so of course they respect me."

To this, Song Chai Xin faintly smiled.

Passing by the Black Mountain Government Office, he once pointed out the 'Zhenjin Bell' at its entrance to Song Brahman Mirror.

Passing by the battlements of the Inner City Military Department, he told Song Brahman Mirror that many heads of demons and martial artists, who had plagued Black Mountain for decades, once hung here.

Entering the Guardian Mansion.

He explained the division of household registrations to Song Brahman Mirror, using the principle of 'teaching a man to fish is better than giving him fish,' and provided a path for the people to ascend from 'civilian to hunter to official.'

Moreover, he opened martial arts halls widely. Anyone with a cultivation level above 'Circulation Qi Collection' could complete the formalities at the Guardian Mansion and establish a place for themselves on 'Martial Arts Street' in the Inner City to teach.

Regarding the 'ceremonial gifts' required for accepting disciples, he once instructed the officials of the Guardian Mansion to strictly control and regulate them—not too low, but not so high that the young from the Outer City, eager for 'social advancement,' would find no avenue to pursue.

It could be said.

Though Black Mountain is harsh and inhospitable.

Yet living and striving under Song Chai Xin's administration...

At the very least,

Compared to three years ago, there is more opportunity for the common people to gradually attain martial advancement.

Song Brahman Mirror listened, eyes shining brightly:

"A glimpse reveals the whole, seeing a leaf unveils the season." 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

"If Black Mountain City can be so governed, should you hold the position of Fifth Grade Prefecture Venerable or Third-Grade State Master, I don't think you'd shy away and could certainly achieve great things."

"In ten years, you might clear away decline, and with decades of consolidation, this remote treasure might rival Ming Huang State upon the Divine Capital!"

To this, Song Chai Xin smiled without speaking, neither affirming nor denying.
