Cultivators wouldn't die from starvation for a few days, but ordinary people wouldn't. They would discover later that the ordinary people in the Mirror Realm were treasures.
In fact, Old Ancestor Huai Cheng and the others didn't expect that there would be a food shortage. In the beginning, these large secret sects still sold some food, but later on, they realized that something was wrong. Most of the secret sects were short of food. As a last resort, they could only organize some low-level cultivators to start a large-scale hunt on the other side of the secret sects.
However, it was very difficult to maintain the food and drink of three hundred thousand people.
A few secret sects were completely out of food and had to take out their collected materials and Yin rings to trade for food in the camp.
Wu Yang, Lei Xingfeng, and Gao Ye were still very low-key. They would return to the Mirror Realm from time to time. Of course, they had to be guarded to prevent others from discovering them. With the Mirror Realm as a buffer, they weren't nervous.
Old Ancestor Huai Cheng called for a meeting of the Heavenly Lords. At this point, he was starting to get anxious. There was a shortage of food, so he had to launch an attack in advance. It was no wonder that these secret sects had always been small scale operations. There were almost no large-scale operations. Suddenly organizing a large operation of three hundred thousand people was full of loopholes. Lei Xingfeng looked on coldly and found many unreasonable. The management couldn't keep up at all. Every secret sect had its own way of doing things. Now, relying on the powerful deterrence of the Dao Lords, they were temporarily put together. Once there was a problem, it was possible that they would collapse.
Lei Xingfeng couldn't care less. He couldn't even make suggestions. His weakness was the Mirror Realm. If this thing was exposed, it would be a disaster.
Patriarch Huai Cheng gathered all the Dao Lords and Heaven Monarchs and began to assign tasks. First, he distributed the map. The topographic map recorded in the Star Python Record was the result of the Dao Lords' early exploration. Every Heaven Monarch made a copy of it and then assigned a few Heaven Monarchs to be in charge of the reconnaissance mission. The main task was to find out the difference between the distribution of the outsiders and the topographic map. In addition, they also had to find out the distribution of the outsiders' forces.
Wu Yang, Lei Xingfeng, and Gao Ye were assigned to patrol the camp. They had the authority to govern what happened in the camp.
This task was relatively easy. It could be seen that Wu Yang had good connections. After all, he knew Old Ancestor Huai Cheng, so the task assigned to him was relatively safe.
There were a total of seven Heaven Monarchs, including Wu Yang and the other two. They were all assigned to patrol the campsite, which was equivalent to the role of a picket or a policeman. Their main purpose was to prevent fights and vendettas in the campsite. Cultivators had bad tempers and liked to fight. This required a strong expert to suppress them.
After leaving the venue, Wu Yang, Lei Xingfeng, and Gao Ye were all very satisfied with their work.
However, there were pros and cons. The good thing was that the work was not dangerous. The bad thing was that the work was extremely trivial and had to be handled by them. Of course, each of them had arranged many True Monarchs and Perfected Beings under them. They were all people from large secret sects.
Lei Xingfeng was in charge of a campsite in the canyon. There were about ten secret sects' encampments.
Lei Xingfeng transferred Xin Zhaolun to help him. After all, a Heaven Monarch could not personally patrol. There were a total of ten True Monarchs and more than three hundred Ninth Ring Perfected Beings as his subordinates.
Although Lei Xingfeng hated meetings, his current position required a meeting. At the very least, he had to assign tasks.
He gathered his subordinates and found an empty space. Lei Xingfeng and the ten True Monarchs sat on chairs. The more than three hundred Ninth Ring Perfected Beings all sat on the ground.
Lei Xingfeng said, "Let's get to know each other first. I'm Lei Xingfeng. You guys introduce yourselves." He was referring to the True Monarchs. As for the Ninth Ring Perfected Beings, forget it. There were more than three hundred people. It would be annoying to introduce themselves one by one. Moreover, he would not be able to remember them.
Xin Zhaolun continued, "Xin Zhaolun."
A True Monarch on the side said, "Tan Kai." He was extremely thin and slender. It was as if a gust of wind could blow him away.
"Bi Dalin." He was someone who could not be found in a crowd. There was nothing special about him.
"Chen Yuhu." He had a papaya face. There was no expression at all.
"An Ruqing." This was a female True Monarch.
"Fei Nan." A super fat man. He was indeed a fat man.
"Green Wolf." This did not seem like a name. It was more like a nickname. It sounded very valiant.
"Smooth white jade, nickname Bai Bai." This was a very flirtatious woman, she even gave XinFeng a flirtatious wink after speaking.
"Hammer!" A huge man more than two meters tall said with a loud voice.
"Little Hammer!" A True Monarch who was only 1.5 meters tall said, "Hammer and I are brothers." His voice was sharp and thin. It was a stark contrast to Hammer's.
Someone sneered. Hammer and Little Hammer glared at each other. They looked like they were about to fight.
Lei Xingfeng clapped his hands and said, "Alright, everyone will slowly get to know each other. Now, let's assign tasks. There are 13 secret sects in this area that we are in charge of. Our task is to prevent fights and internal strife. Most importantly, we have to maintain the stability of the camp."
Green Wolf said coldly, "What if a fight breaks out?"
Lei Xingfeng said, "Kill whoever starts a fight. There's nothing to say."
Green Wolf nodded and did not say anything else.
Lei Xingfeng continued, "Each of you will lead 30 True Monarchs. The rest will follow me. Our area is only so big. We will see how to arrange the patrols later. Also, communicate with the secret sects in our area and obtain the support of the higher-ups." This was something that had to be done. Otherwise, if someone started a fight and they killed, it would cause the higher-ups of the secret sects to object. They had to be clear. If they did not handle it well, they would be in a passive position.
Hammer said, "Do the patrols provide food? I'm out of food! "
Lei Xingfeng remembered the natives of Hanya Castle. They also looked like this. Even their names were the same. He said, "The food for our patrols is arranged by the higher-ups. There shouldn't be a problem."
Hammer said in a low voice, "That's good. I have no objections." As long as there was food, Lei Xingfeng felt a sense of familiarity.
Bai Yurun said in a coquettish voice, "Master Lei …"
Lei Xingfeng's hair stood on end. This voice was too coquettish. He muttered in his heart, "Can't you speak properly?" He said, "What?"
Bai Yurun continued, "Master Lei, can you arrange for me to patrol during the day? At night … it will affect my sleep and I'll get old faster …"
Lei Xingfeng knew that this kind of woman was not to be trifled with. He nodded and said, "Sure. You and An Ruqing will patrol during the day."
Bai Yurun said, "Thank you, Master … hehe."
Many people, including the Ninth Ring Sages sitting below, could not help but shiver. This woman was a source of trouble.
There were more than three hundred Ninth Ring Sages. Most of them were men. There were very few women. There were about fifty of them. They were all assigned to different teams. After all, if there were women in the patrols, it would be easier to deal with them.
The ten Monarchs chose their team members. Those who liked beautiful women joined Bai Yurun and An Ruqing's team. Those who liked violence mostly joined Green Wolf and Hammer's team. Soon, ten patrol teams were formed.
Lei Xingfeng arranged for three shifts. One in the morning, one in the afternoon, and one in the evening. As for the trivial matters, he left them to his subordinates. He had no interest in these things. Unless something big happened, he would not show up. He brought a dozen Ninth Ring Sages with him. They were responsible for transporting food from the secret sect's headquarters. The food was specially allocated to the patrol teams.
They were Heavenly Monarchs. In the secret sect, Heavenly Monarchs were basically Patriarchs. Monarchs were the pillars of strength, and Dao Monarchs were the strategic forces. Lei Xingfeng did not need to be like the Monarchs. This was the benefit of being strong. As the saying went, "Officials just move their mouths, while soldiers run their legs." He enjoyed this kind of treatment.
Originally, Lei Xingfeng wanted to train this patrol team. However, Wu Yang's words made him give up on the idea. Once the war started, these people would be quickly taken away. Even he would have to go to the battlefield. So, he gave up on the idea.
Lei Xingfeng quietly returned to the Mirror Realm. To his surprise, Wu Yang, Gao Ye, Thunderstorm, Feng Chenzong, Yu Kou, and Qi Meiyun were all there. There was a table full of food. Jin Dapang was sweating profusely as he ran back and forth. Teng Yuan was also following behind. The two big fatties were serving a group of foodies.
Lei Xingfeng was shocked. "What the hell? They're all hiding here to steal food!" He immediately rushed to the table. Before he even sat down, he picked up a braised pork shoulder and ate it in big bites. "The food in the camp is getting worse and worse, and the quantity is getting smaller and smaller. Ah, home is still the best."
Rice and flatbread were all placed in wooden buckets. There were all kinds of dishes. Thinking about the food in the camp, it was like pig feed. The difference wasn't small at all.
Not only was there roast chicken and duck on the table, but there were also large pieces of braised beef. There were even a few braised fish and a large plate of river shrimp. They were all as thick as a thumb and as long as a palm.
A few plates of dark green stir-fried vegetables were the object of everyone's competition. The chopsticks were like raindrops. If one's movements were slightly slower, a plate of food would disappear completely. This was no longer eating, but snatching. If one wasn't fast enough, they wouldn't be able to eat anything.
Jin Dapang kept saying, "Slow down, slow down. There's plenty of food. It's just that there's not enough time …"
Wu Yang said, "Dapang, you've worked hard!"
Gao Ye's mouth was full of food. He mumbled, "You've worked hard …"
Everyone thanked him one by one. Jin Dapang was beaming with joy. His current strength was average, but his position in everyone's hearts wasn't bad.
They ate to their heart's content. Everyone rubbed their stomachs, straightened their backs, and gasped for breath. Even Wu Yang was no exception. Cultivators rarely ate until they were full. Even if they ate until they were full, they would recover quickly. It was just that staying in the camp was too stifling. The food was extremely bad. It was already good enough that they had something to eat. They couldn't openly display the food, as that would cause public outrage.
Thus, they could only sneak back to eat. Lei Xingfeng had someone bring over basins of water for everyone to wash their faces and rinse their mouths. Only then did he say, "Ancestor, how long will we stay there?"
Wu Yang sighed. "The Dao Lords have already started arguing. They haven't decided yet. We'll have to wait for the scouts to return."
Gao Ye asked, "Why are they arguing?"
Among them, Wu Yang had the most connections. Thus, he received the most information. He said, "It's a problem that no one has thought of. Food. The Dao Lord Forefather's large secret sects don't have enough food. It's impossible to supply all the secret sects. The amount of food they provide … is enough to cause a dispute. It's not impossible for them to fight."
