Jiao Jinfeng nodded and said, "Right, the area north of the city is the territory of the Sea Exploring Gang. If we really want to live there, then we can have tens of thousands of people. The place is very big, but it's just that this place is too shabby. Therefore, I'm afraid that there aren't many places for people to live."
Liu Qingrui nodded and said, "Alright, that's good. Such a large area should be enough for us to use. Alright, let's go inside and take a look." Then Liu Qingrui walked towards the area.
Before long, Liu Qingrui arrived at the center of the area. He looked around and calculated his position before he nodded and said, "Alright, this should be the center of the area." Then he waved his hand and took out a formation plate. Then he took out several flags and handed them to Jiao Jinfeng and the others. Then he said, "Everyone, go in this direction. Walk about a thousand steps and then insert the flags."
Jiao Jinfeng and the others were shocked when they saw Liu Qingrui take out the formation plate and flags. They were Rogue Cultivators, so only a few of them knew about formation plates and flags. Even if they knew how to arrange formations, they wouldn't use them. This was because they knew that both formation plates and flags were very expensive things that they couldn't afford to buy. Because of this, Rogue Cultivators didn't do any research on formations.
Now that they saw Liu Qingrui take out a formation plate, they couldn't help but feel surprised. Liu Qingrui looked at Jiao Jinfeng and the others and said, "It's not worth mentioning. You can go."
The group nodded and immediately took the formation flag and left. Before long, they arrived at the designated location. Then they heard Liu Qingrui's voice. Liu Qingrui kept adjusting the position of the formation flag. Finally, after adjusting it, he had them put the formation flag in place.
After placing the array flag, Liu Qingrui opened his mouth and said, "Alright, everyone, inform the people in the sect to immediately move all the disciples here. Go ahead." The few of them responded and immediately went to carry out the task.
Jiao Jinfeng and the others weren't fools. When they saw Liu Qingrui take out the formation plate and flags, they were sure that Liu Qingrui's identity wasn't ordinary. Perhaps he was a member of the Great Sect, a spy that the Great Sect placed in Tri-Mountain City. If that was the case, then they were lucky to have joined the Sea Exploring Sect.
After Jiao Jinfeng and the others left, Liu Qingrui immediately adjusted the disk array. Then, he carefully looked at the situation inside the disk array. Sure enough, after a while, a black color appeared on the disk array. Soon, the white disk array turned black, like a piece of black jade. It was very strange.
However, when Liu Qingrui saw the black color, he was startled. He muttered, "What a powerful poison. After so many years, I can still feel such a strong poison residue. It's really amazing."
It turned out that when Liu Qingrui entered the area, he already felt the poison residue. He was sure that what Jiao Jinfeng said before about the plague was false. In fact, this place was poisoned, and it was a very powerful poison. Therefore, he arranged this formation. This formation was a formation array. This formation array was one of the higher-level formations in the Sea Exploring Sect. Not only can it defend, it can also remove poison. It can even attack. However, its attack was a poison attack. It can absorb poison and release it to harm others. If it couldn't absorb the poison, then the attack would be impossible. It would require the cultivator to add the poison themselves. This was a formation array specially made for poison cultivators.
Liu Qingrui's task this time was very special. Because of this, he asked for this formation array before he came out. Now, it came in handy.
Liu Qingrui didn't stop until the formation plate didn't change. At the same time, he couldn't help but wipe the sweat off his forehead. He was very worried. If he didn't bring this formation array, then he would have to deal with the poison himself. That would be very troublesome.
After dealing with the poison, Liu Qingrui turned his head and looked around. This area was really good. There were two sides of the city wall and one side of the street. It looked like a big triangle. It was a very good area. Liu Qingrui didn't know that the people of the Chamber of Commerce had built that street and isolated the area in order to control the spread of the epidemic.
Liu Qingrui stood on top of this area and carefully looked at it. He wanted to properly plan this area. Although the Chamber of Commerce had a rule that no one was allowed to fight in the city, and that the Five Great Clans couldn't attack the Chamber of Commerce's territory, this was only a rule after all. Who knows if the Five Great Clans would respect this rule. What if the Five Great Clans didn't respect this rule? At that time, they might have already been destroyed. Would the Chamber of Commerce really offend the Five Great Clans just because of them? Obviously, this was impossible. Therefore, they could only rely on themselves in the end.
It didn't take long before everyone from the Sea Exploring Gang arrived at the area. However, it could be seen that they weren't very willing to move. However, this was understandable. After all, the place where they used to live was much better than this place. Now that they suddenly arrived at such a dangerous place, they naturally weren't willing to move.
Su Yu and Liu Qingsong also arrived. Liu Qingrui looked at the two and then smiled faintly, "Good, you're all here. Let's go and settle down."
Su Yu smiled and said, "Leader, we've brought everything. This place is so dilapidated that I'm afraid there aren't many things that can be used. We've even brought tables and chairs, as well as iron pots from the stove."
When Liu Qingrui heard this, he stared for a moment before he laughed and said, "Alright, alright, since you've brought them, then let's clean up the place. Don't do anything else, just repair the houses. Knock down some houses and use the materials from those houses to repair the other houses. Repair them so that everyone has a place to live." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright, alright.
Su Yu immediately complied and then went to pass down the order. Although the people from the Sea Exploring Gang were unwilling, they could only do as they were told. They knew that Liu Qingrui was someone who would kill without batting an eye. If they didn't listen to Liu Qingrui, then Liu Qingrui might just kill them. Naturally, they knew what to choose between cleaning up the houses and being killed.
These people were all Cultivators. Although their cultivation wasn't very strong, building a house wasn't a problem for them. Before long, some houses were knocked down while some dilapidated houses were repaired. However, the houses that Su Yu wanted them to build had some special features. The place where the formation plates and flags were placed must have a small square. As for the other places, they could do whatever they wanted. First, they had to knock down the houses in the square.
After a day of repairs, Lan Qiang managed to clean up some houses that could be used for resting. Everyone had a place to rest. Moreover, almost everyone in the gang brought some daily necessities. It can be said that in just one day, a very simple gang base was built.
After dinner, Liu Qingrui opened the formation. Then he called Su Yu, Jiao Jinfeng, and the others to the Conference Hall. Although it was called a Conference Hall, it was actually a large room. There were a few chairs inside, making it a Conference Hall.
After everyone sat down in the conference hall, Liu Qingrui looked at everyone and said, "Now that our Sea Exploring Gang has moved to this place, this will be our base. Everyone should know that I've arranged a formation here to protect our safety. But once we leave, I can't guarantee everyone's safety. I think that the Five Great Gangs should already know about us. They will certainly do everything they can to deal with us. Since we've established ourselves, we will be taking away a portion of their profits. Naturally, they wouldn't be happy about it, so we must be careful of them."
Naturally, they'll be very wary of us. "The group nodded. The amount of supplies that the Chamber of Commerce gave them was limited. The amount that the Five Great Gangs received was also limited. Now that they have become one of the Five Great Gangs, it was equal to taking a piece of the Five Great Gangs' benefits. The Five Great Gangs would certainly not agree to this. Therefore, the Five Great Gangs would certainly deal with them.
Liu Qingrui looked at everyone and said, "Right now, we have more than 6500 people in the gang. My idea is to divide these people into six teams. We'll leave 1500 people here to guard the base. As for the rest, we'll still go out to hunt. But this time, we can't go out in small teams. We'll go out in large groups, 1000 people per group. This way, we'll be able to ensure our safety. What do you think?"
Jiao Jinfeng and the others nodded. If they go out in groups of 1000 people, then their safety would be guaranteed. Even if the Five Great Gangs wanted to deal with them, they would be able to receive the news in advance. This way, they could make the appropriate arrangements and not be afraid of the Five Great Gangs.
Liu Qingrui said, "We can't give the Five Great Gangs any chance. It's best to fight them and make them understand that we're not to be trifled with. This way, they won't provoke us. When the time comes, we'll see what kind of tricks they use. If they really want to fight us to the death, then don't blame me for being impolite."
Jiao Jinfeng and the others nodded. However, their eyes seemed to be flickering with flames. After so many years, the Five Great Gangs were like five mountains that pressed down on all the other gangs in Three Mountain City. All the gangs that dared to show their faces were destroyed by the Five Great Gangs. Now that they were the gangs that showed their faces, the Five Great Gangs definitely wouldn't let them off. Then there would only be one result between them and the Five Great Gangs. Let's see if the Five Great Gangs would destroy them, or if they would beat the Five Great Gangs into submission and make the Five Great Gangs acknowledge their existence.
Liu Qingrui looked at the group and said, "The Five Great Factions will certainly make their move soon. This is because the Chamber of Commerce has a three-month time limit. As long as we are still a Great Faction after three months, then the Chamber of Commerce will continue to recognize our existence. Therefore, these three months should be the most difficult for us. We must be careful." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright.
