To survive in this vast and boundless land, it was extremely important to have a powerful backer. The Ancient God Family was naturally an outstanding talent amongst these backers. Don't look at how the Ancient God Family seemed to have a small problem with their control over Deep Blue City. But anyone with vision could see that this small problem wasn't anything at all. It could only be considered a minor pain. Even if Gu Bingbing wasn't strong enough and was eventually summoned back to the Ancient God Family. But here in Deep Blue City, the Ancient God Family would still send a powerful member to manage it.
Thus, if one could become a member of the Ancient God Family, that was the same as holding onto a massive thigh. From now on, they wouldn't need to worry about anything.
Thus, once this condition was put forth, the originally deserted City Lord Mansion suddenly began to fill with a massive number of cultivators. These cultivators weren't particularly fierce in terms of cultivation, but they were skilled in other aspects; they could even be called experts!
For instance, there were some that excelled in cleaning up and classifying assets, some that excelled in accounts, and some that excelled in city construction.
All in all, all kinds of talents, in less than an hour, almost filled the wide street outside the City Lord's Mansion!
Gu Bingbing was shocked. It wasn't that she hadn't thought of recruiting talents before. After all, she had killed off several great families and the city couldn't stop operating. She needed a massive number of talents to replenish it. But she was at her wits' end. She thought that with everyone in Deep Blue City in a state of panic, how many people would acknowledge her as the new City Lord?
But she had underestimated the several halos around her and also underestimated the might of being a member of the Ancient God Family!
Regarding this, Old Ancestor Sky Ancestor had acted first and reported later; he hadn't mentioned this to Gu Bingbing before. After Gu Bingbing learned of this, she didn't think much of it. It was only the status of a member of the Ancient God Family. To her, this wasn't anything at all. In particular, the Ancient God Family had always been in desperate need of outstanding talents.
As a direct descendant of the Ancient God Family, Gu Bingbing could even summon a trillion people at once and give them the status of a member of the Ancient God Family!
Then, these people would be her, Gu Bingbing's people.
And the Ancient God Family wouldn't interfere in this sort of matter, fully delegating authority to them.
Afterwards, the 48 members of the Divine Seal Decree began to perform their own duties. They didn't even need anyone to tell them what to do; they simply did what they needed to do.
Although they had been in high positions for countless years, they gave people the feeling that they were aloof and did not have the slightest ability to act. In fact, once this group of people wanted to move, their abilities were unparalleled and the strongest in the world!
There were people in charge of dealing with the members of the major families who had surrendered. It didn't mean that everything would be fine after sealing them. When he returned, he would kill those who deserved to be killed and crippled those who deserved to be crippled. He had to give the people of Cang Gu City and the Ancient God family an explanation.
It doesn't make sense that everything will be fine if you surrender.
Those whose crimes weren't worthy of death were either crippled, or their lifelines were controlled through some ancient techniques. For example, controlling a trace of their primordial spirit.
Then, he would make those people slaves and make them do some low-level things.
The old, the weak, the women, and the children had a slightly better ending, but they still became slaves!
In the world of cultivators, the winner takes all!
There was nothing to complain about, and no one would sympathize with them. Because they had brought this upon themselves. Perhaps many of these people were innocent, but when their families committed evil deeds, they didn't step forward to stop them. They all happily enjoyed the benefits their families brought them. Therefore, when their families fell, they also suffered along with them.
There would definitely be some fish that escaped the net, but it didn't matter. From this day onwards, the major families of Cang Gu City would truly become history. It wouldn't be many years before no one would remember them.
Perhaps only the fish that escaped the net would keep thinking about this matter. They would hate Gu Bingbing and the Ancient God family. But this was meaningless. When their families were at their peak, they couldn't even defeat Gu Bingbing, let alone after they had fallen.
Therefore, the fate of those that escaped the net was to conceal their identities and stay far away from the Ancient God family's sphere of influence … and live the rest of their lives obediently.
Half a month later, the entire Cang Gu City looked brand new!
The places that had been destroyed in the previous battles had already been repaired. Coldly and quiet, the city lord's mansion was now unusually lively.
Interestingly, there were many members of the major families of Cang Gu City in the city lord's mansion. Many of them had even been core members! But now, they had become servants and servants of the city lord's mansion. They did the lowest of things.
This wasn't proposed by Gu Bingbing, but by the original members of the major families crying and begging!
Didn't they hate? Of course they hated!
They were originally high in the clouds, but now they had fallen to the dust. How could they not hate?
But what was the use of hate? They were powerless to change this reality!
If these people were scattered to other parts of Cang Gu City or simply exiled, then their fates would be incomparably miserable!
After thinking about it, this group of people sadly discovered that their best way out was actually the city lord's mansion!
Therefore, countless people fought fiercely for a spot to enter the city lord's mansion. Even some of the elders were desperately trying to recommend themselves, saying that they had some kind of ability. That they could do any job. Then, they only needed to eat a mouthful of rice.
Since this was the case, Gu Bingbing pushed the boat with the current and had people carefully select a group of people to enter the city lord's mansion to work.
The abilities of any one of these people could be called top notch.
They also hoped that one day they could obtain Gu Bingbing's appreciation. Perhaps there would be a chance for them to make a comeback.
Speaking of which, this possibility wasn't impossible. After all, fundamentally speaking, Gu Bingbing didn't have any direct grudges with the major families. If it were anyone else, they would also do the same.
Gu Bingbing didn't disappoint the promise she made in the past. These members of the Divine Seal Decree all obtained all sorts of rewards.
Resources were plentiful!
After raiding several major families, even Gu Bingbing, the daughter of an Ancient God family who was used to seeing wealth, was shocked.
Official position … what did she want?
Cang Gu City was extremely large!
Besides this large city, there were also hundreds of medium-sized cities and tens of thousands of small cities beneath Cang Gu City. As for even smaller cities, they were as numerous as the hairs on an ox, innumerable! The entire sphere of influence of Cang Gu City could radiate out for billions of miles!
Thus, if one wanted to become an overlord, it was extremely easy.
This was also what Gu Bingbing did.
Rewards, official positions, fiefdoms!
Out of the 48 powerhouses on the Divine Seal Decree, she directly sealed away over 20 people!
These 20 plus people were all Ancestor realm supreme elders. In all aspects of ability, any one of them was countless times stronger than her, Gu Bingbing. Gu Bingbing was well aware of this.
At the send-off banquet, she earnestly said, "Just like I promised everyone before, if you don't betray me, I will not betray you! Everyone will forever be honored guests of I, Gu Bingbing! "
Like this, she would seal away this group of people. As long as there was no war, or as long as there was a war and Gu Bingbing wasn't conscripted. Then, this group of people would be able to peacefully be overlords of their own territory!
Gu Bingbing could even foresee that it wouldn't be too long before Cang Gu City's sphere of influence would be completely renewed!
And this was her, Gu Bingbing's, achievement!
She was the first person in the entire passageway to do this. As for those that held Divine Seal Tokens, they all kept the people controlled by the Divine Seal Tokens firmly by their side, not allowing them to take even half a step away!
Toward this, Ouyang Fei more or less said with some vicissitudes of emotion, "Back then, if the Luoshui Family's people could also treat us like this, I think we definitely wouldn't have fled."
Zi Dao's face revealed a hint of a bitter smile and nodded his head, "That's why I said that this Miss Gu is really very formidable and also very bold."
Meng Na said by the side, "I feel that the one who's even more formidable is Chu Mo …"
Zi Dao and Ouyang Fei nodded their heads at the same time. Toward Chu Mo, they were truly thoroughly convinced now. Even in their wildest dreams, they had never imagined that Chu Mo would cut in from this place. Presently, he already became the most popular person by Gu Bingbing's side!
In the entire Cang Gu City, countless people discovered this matter. Their city lord, no matter where she went, there would always be an average-looking young man following by her side. Originally thought that that young man was an imperial guard, but very soon, people discovered that it was not the case at all. Gu Bingbing respected that young man very much. No matter what happened, she would discuss it with that young man in a low voice.
Judging from the two people's demeanor, they were not lovers either. Then, there could only be one answer — that young man was the person that Gu Bingbing trusted the most!
Gradually, information regarding Chu Mo's identity was also spread by some people. Although people did not know his name, they already knew that he was one of the people who defeated the Sharan Bandits' members outside Cang Gu City that day and saved the people. Then, he also chased away those Ancestor Realm Sharan Bandits' members. Furthermore, he was the most important one! People also knew that he was the one who chopped off the Sharan Bandits' leader Sharan's arm with one blade a few days ago and scared off the Sharan Bandits. People also knew that he smashed the plot of that Ancestor Realm cultivator who wanted to drag the entire Cang Gu City down with him and detonate himself …
This was a true heaven-defying powerhouse!
He was very mysterious!
No one knew where he came from.
But now in the entire Cang Gu City, more than 90% of the people knew of Chu Mo's existence.
Furthermore, even Chu Mo himself did not expect that in the hearts of the people of Cang Gu City, his prestige was second only to the acting city lord Gu Bingbing, ranking second! Moreover, it was only by a little bit!
If Gu Bingbing did not have the two identities of the city lord and the Ancient God Clan's first wife's daughter, then her prestige in Cang Gu City would definitely be left behind by Chu Mo without a trace.
Regarding this, Gu Bingbing did not seem to care at all, and Chu Mo … even less so.
