I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property
Chapter 1907 - 1900: The First Batch of Security Guards Will Soon Be Stationed
After taking a stroll around the city, Labadi couldn’t help but wish he could move into this city immediately.
There is food, drink, and safety, even a way to treat the effects of soul shards; can you find another place like this in the entire Endless Land?
Once you get residency, you can enjoy various special resources and discounts; it’s absolutely irresistible.
Zhang Menglong wanted to introduce more of the city’s facilities to him, but just then, an unusual fluctuation appeared throughout the city!
"Damn, it’s a space displacement!" Banak’s expression suddenly changed.
Almost simultaneously, mirage-like images appeared in thousands of locations in the city, with overlapping regions from two spaces, forming twisted displacement points.
Accompanied by a disturbance, a group of Phantom Profound Beasts suddenly charged out from those spaces.
No one expected such an event to occur on the first day of establishing the city!
The residents who followed Zhang Menglong and others to migrate here instantly became extremely tense; every past occurrence of space displacement was almost always a catastrophe.
They thought, even if these Phantom Profound Beasts are eliminated by the city’s formation in ten seconds, those ten seconds are enough for them to cause certain damage, and casualties are inevitable.
Of course, the losses are certainly much smaller, but even the smallest casualties are still casualties!
"The child!" A middle-aged man looked at his child eating lamb skewers not far away, with a displacement point right beside the child, and a giant iron hoof from another region was about to stomp on him.
The man’s twisted expression suddenly froze at this moment, the entire city seemed to ring with a clear pendulum sound, and as the sound echoed, the flow of time in the whole region slowed remarkably.
The movement of the giant iron hoof turned into slow-motion playback.
And with the dazzling starlight in the sky, dozens of rays of light instantly pierced through the Phantom Profound Beast. Its foot hadn’t even touched the ground before it dissolved into energy and completely vanished.
When everyone came to their senses, the displaced spaces had automatically repaired themselves, with only a few city facilities damaged and no casualties!
"Brother Gu Xiao, just now that was..."
"Just a little trick," Zhang Menglong said, "Once those space displacements are detected, the area’s time flow slows down, but my formation’s power is completely unaffected and can utterly destroy them before they cause any damage!"
"Amazing, this is simply Heaven!" Labadi trembled with excitement.
"How about joining us in Illusion City?" Zhang Menglong didn’t even need to hear his answer; he could tell his thoughts from his expression.
"I’m in!" Labadi eagerly declared, "I can help you find a batch of people willing to try your soul elixir! But I hope my family..."
"Hahaha, Mr. Labadi, don’t worry, I can offer your family the same treatment as native residents, as long as it’s no more than 5 people, I can make arrangements."
"Okay, then wait for my news!"
After this space displacement, Labadi’s last bit of concern was dispelled; this is simply a Holy Land!
Not just Labadi, others were also astounded, not even fully understanding what had happened; it seemed a looming danger was there, but it caused no consequences.
They clearly saw countless Phantom Profound Beasts about to rush from the other end of the space, yet they were all eliminated as soon as they poked their heads through; it was like divine intervention.
"Brother Gu Xiao, your Illusion City is truly amazing!" Banak marvelled, "If others find out, they will desperately want to join our city."
"But..." Banak’s expression turned serious, "The problem of Phantom Profound Beasts is solved, but sometimes, humans can be even more terrifying than Phantom Profound Beasts. If some people want to seize this city, we’ll have endless problems in the future."
"Don’t worry," Zhang Menglong smiled, "I’ll soon have a solution to that problem."
...
After returning to Luosai Fortress City, Labadi immediately shared the news with his wife and children and then began contacting his old customers.
He didn’t need to contact many people, just ones with good rapport. If the medicine is as magical as Zhang Menglong claimed, someone certainly would be willing to recommend it to their friends.
Kaido was one of Labadi’s customers with relatively good rapport. He’s a Third Grade Dao Realm Martial Artist, different from Banak, he leads several survival teams, but those teams are merely tools for him to search for resources and earn money.
He also buys over 300,000 soul shard suppressors from Labadi each month.
Labadi knew an essential point: Kaido was severely impacted by the soul shards.
Due to a severe injury he suffered previously, although he did not directly perish, he was in a coma for a long time, during which he couldn’t use the suppressor, and the invasion of soul shards was severe.
Now, he requires a soul shard suppressor every half day to suppress his agitated emotions; otherwise, he would become a mindless monster.
"Labadi, is this true?"
Upon hearing the news, Kaido was like finding a life-saving straw; his current life was filled with anxiety, and he didn’t dare venture far from the fortress cities without hundreds of soul shard suppressors.
If someone can cure the invasion of soul shards, he’s willing to pay a huge price.
"Yes." Although Labadi hadn’t seen it himself, just witnessing the city’s capabilities, he believed Zhang Menglong could truly have that power; otherwise, why would he stockpile so much Spectral Grass?
"How much does the soul elixir sell for?" Kaido asked.
"You need to discuss the detail with Mr. Gu; I merely look for people willing to try it."
Kaido pondered for a moment, his situation almost desperate for any remedy available; as long as there’s a glimmer of hope, he’s willing to try.
"I want to meet Mr. Gu immediately."
"Alright, I’ll take you to Illusion City to meet Mr. Gu tomorrow."
"Illusion City?" Kaido was stunned, "Is it a survivor gathering place?"
Sometimes, survivors outside fortress cities gather and call their place a city.
"No, it’s a city, a city two to three times larger than our Luosai Fortress City," thinking of Illusion City made Labadi’s expression much more enthusiastic, "I believe you’ll like it once you visit."
Throughout the night, aside from contacting Kaido, Labadi reached several other clients. Even though some were too busy to visit, others were almost eager to go.
...
"Good, well done," Zhang Menglong learned from Labadi that eight Dao Realm experts would come here tomorrow.
He glanced at the puzzled Banak at his side, "Old brother Banak, the first batch of security for our Illusion City is about to settle in!"
