After returning to Pu Ban City, Ji Hao curiously asked Po who 'Priest Corpse' was.
Po's answer numbed Ji Hao's scalp, and his heart was even colder.
Priest Corpse was one of the first batch of creatures born after the world was created. He was born with a trace of pre-world corpse power. Back in the prehistorical era, Priest Corpse dominated the world and slaughtered countless living beings with the extremely negative power of corpse power, which could destroy all living beings.
Back then, Po traveled around the prehistorical era and fought against Priest Corpse for a few times. Therefore, Po and Priest Corpse could be counted as enemies for many years.
Later on, Priest Corpse was brought under control by Priest Hua with his great power, and became Priest Hua's third disciple. Taught by Priest Hua a secret magic of great Dao, Priest Corpse understood the interdependence of life and death, and the transformation of death from his own body. Therefore, he turned the evil and violent corpse power into a peaceful and peaceful one. Therefore, his power and cultivation soared. Among all of Priest Hua's disciples, he could be counted as one of the top-grade ones.
Apart from all kinds of unpredictable and magical magics, Priest Corpse had also created a special body-strengthening magic from his own body, which was called the 'Nine Deaths Golden Body'. Priest Corpse's body might not be as strong as those top-grade powerful human beings, but he had an almost limitless regeneration ability. Compared to human Divine Magi who could be reborn from a single drop of blood, Priest Corpse was much more difficult to deal with.
Priest Corpse used to boast that as long as the death power existed in the world, he could rebirth limitlessly.
Po hadn't heard anything about Priest Corpse for many years. He heard that Priest Corpse had been staying in a closed-door cultivation to learn some high-level secret magic. But this time, he abruptly showed up in Pu Ban City. Obviously, he had already made some achievements, and was even more difficult to deal with than before.
"Cultivators of our sect pay particular attention to doing things at any time, peacefully and naturally." Po warned Ji Hao seriously, "But disciples of Priest Hua's … especially Priest Corpse, they pay particular attention to improving themselves rapidly, by hook or by crook. Since Priest Corpse has come to Pu Ban City, Pu Ban City will become a dangerous place. "
Dangerous places couldn't stay for long.
Ji Hao understood Po's warning. Abruptly, he thought of that terrifying finger attack launched by Priest Corpse, which left him no power to fight back, and nearly destroyed both his body and primordial spirit.
Without Po, he would have been turned into ashes by Priest Corpse already.
However, Po couldn't stay by Ji Hao's side as his bodyguard all the time, because he had his own things to do.
The next day, Ji Hao went to see Emperor Shun and told him that he wanted to leave Pu Ban City as soon as possible and head to his own territory, Yao Mountain. Emperor Shun agreed to Ji Hao's resignation, and asked Si Wen Ming to prepare everything for Ji Hao.
With Si Wen Ming's help and Emperor Shun's order, Ji Hao's preparation had been extremely smooth.
First of all, Wuzhi Qi honestly sent over the ransom money for over a hundred thousand warriors of the Ink Ape Clan and the other few clans without any discount. Even Dark Cloud, who had been hung under the archway for a whole day, was redeemed by Wuzhi Qi.
With this money, added with the spoils he had seized in the Chi Ban Mountain, and the rewards he had received for his meritorious service, Ji Hao had been spending lavishly in the slave market of the Pu Ban City.
Zhamu was quite clear about the background of all large Blood Moon families, including the Di Family, the Qian Family and the other large Blood Moon families. Under his lead, Ji Hao carefully selected over thirty-thousand 'clean' dark-kind slave warriors from those slaves.
Same as the army under Zhamu's command, these dark-kind slave warriors had never taken part in wars against the humankind. Instead, they were all garrisons sent by those large Blood Moon families to guard their territories. These dark-kind slave warriors were well-trained and each of them was powerful. With a little bit of equipment, they could become an elite army.
Ji Hao didn't like these non-humankind beings. He even hated them a lot.
However, when building a new territory, warriors would inevitably need to be stationed in every corner, and the attacks of all kinds of wild beasts and poisonous bugs would be unavoidable. There might even be all kinds of natural disasters. Instead of using human beings to defend against these natural disasters, it would be better to use these dark-kind warriors as consumables.
Nearly fifty-thousand dark-kind slave warriors were all under Zhamu's command. Added with their families, Ji Hao bought over two-hundred-thousand warriors from the slave market.
According to the reward given by Emperor Shun, Si Wen Ming carefully selected a batch of people for Ji Hao's new territory.
These human beings were all clean and reliable. Most of them were refugees who wandered around the world after their clans were destroyed. These people had no food or clothing, and were captured by large Blood Moon clans and sold as slaves. As long as Ji Hao could provide them with shelter, keep them warm and fed, and protect them from poisonous bugs and wild beasts, he could easily build a new clan out of them.
Si Wen Ming specially selected healthy young men and women who weren't particularly powerful. They were only as powerful as ordinary Novice Magi, and the strongest among them was no more than a Junior Magus. Because of their low strengths, their prices were extremely low.
A young man was worth only fifty jade coins in the slave market, and a young woman was worth no more than a hundred jade coins. Those teenagers and children were even cheaper. Three to five jade coins were enough to buy a sensible and capable child.
With the large amount of ransom money sent by Wuzhi Qi, Ji Hao made up his mind, gnashed his teeth and waved his hand, buying a whole two-million young adults and children.
Yao Mountain territory had a radius of a million miles, and could support hundreds of millions of people. These two-million young adults and children would be the kindling of Yao Mountain civilization in the future.
Fifty-thousand dark-kind slave warriors weren't enough to protect the entire Yao Mountain territory, especially when Ji Hao had offended so many people. Therefore, Si Wen Ming carefully selected two-hundred-thousand elite warriors from those elite slave warriors for Ji Hao.
These warriors were either human warriors who had fled before the battle, or bandits who had been looting in the wild, or clansmen who had violated the law of Pu Ban City and were captured alive. None of them were easy to deal with.
It was impossible to count on these people's loyalty.
However, the lives and deaths of all these people were controlled by a magic spell, and their lives were in Ji Hao's hands. Ji Hao didn't need them to be loyal. As long as they could fight and fight, that would be enough.
In the future, if they could be tamed, Ji Hao could let them marry and have children, and have more offspring. If they didn't, Ji Hao would have plenty of ways to deal with them.
Because of Ji Hao's insistence, Si Wen Ming specially selected those who had committed the most heinous crimes, whose hands were covered with blood, and who were extremely restless. Ji Hao wouldn't show any mercy to these people who had committed heinous crimes, and he wouldn't show any mercy when dealing with them.
With enough guards and warriors, and enough people to support the initial development of his territory, Ji Hao began purchasing everything he needed in the market of Pu Ban City.
Food, seeds, all kinds of tools, iron tools, farming tools, a great number of vehicles, and a huge number of livestock. Large animals used for labor, animals used for meat, animals used for wool, and animals used for weaving …
All in all, in order to build his own territory, Ji Hao had spent all of his jade coins within three days.
