They couldn't accept such a big gift.
There were 3 half-step Rulers, and one of them was Ji Danyun, who was not inferior to them in terms of identity, status, or age.
This was the territorial lord of the Southeast Guardian Residence. He was at least 200 years old, and now he was obediently bowing to them as a junior. Qu Hongde and Fu Zhengqing could not accept it for a moment.
He was calling them old.
"So, you're all Yang Fan's disciples?"
Qu Hongde raised his head with a strange expression and glanced at Ji Danyun, Sang Duoduo, and the others.
Not only were these people far older than Yang Fan, but their cultivation bases were also several streets ahead of Yang Fan's. How could they be willing to become disciples of Yang Fan, a young brat? Was there some conspiracy?
"They're the real deal!" An Sheng introduced them one by one to Qu Hongde respectfully, "You should have met Ling Tian, Qianqian, and Feiyao before, so I won't introduce them to you."
As he spoke, An Sheng raised his hand and pointed at Sang Duoduo, "This is Junior Sister Duoduo. Her full name is Sang Duoduo. She's the descendant of a famous family. Master took her in when he went to the Federal Center City.
"This is Ji Danyun, the territorial lord of the Southeast Guardian Residence. He became a disciple yesterday …
"This is Cha Yingda, the only son of Che Hongyu, the president of the Illusionist Guild …"
An Sheng introduced them one by one.
The more Qu Hongde and Fu Zhengqing listened, the more shocked they became.
What on earth had Yang Fan done in the past few months? How could there be so many powerhouses or descendants of powerhouses who were willing to become his disciples?
Sang Duoduo was the number one prodigy in the Federation more than 50 years ago. Even in a remote place like the northwest region, her legend was still circulating. Qu Hongde and Fu Zhengqing were both old men who had lived from that era, so naturally, they had heard of Sang Duoduo's name.
However, never in their wildest dreams would they have thought that not only did Yang Fan revive Sang Duoduo, who had been in a vegetative state for over fifty years, he even took her in as his disciple!
There was also Cha Yingda. His reputation wasn't that prominent among the younger generation, but he was an Illusion Array Master, a one in a million Illusion Array Masters. Moreover, he had an Emperor-level Association of Illusionists as his father. His background wasn't ordinary.
There were others as well. They were either disciples of aristocratic families or descendants of powerful individuals. In short, none of them were easy to deal with.
But now, these people were all under Yang Fan's tutelage. What were they after? Would Yang Fan be able to control them?
"Ansheng, right?"
Fu Zhengqing softly called out Ansheng's name. Looking at the little fatty in front of him whose cultivation had already surpassed his, City Lord Fu felt a little upset.
Previously, when they came to Dai Xing City with Yang Fan for the trial, Fu Zhengqing didn't see any outstanding talent in this little fatty. He didn't even look him in the eye.
But now, this Little Fatty had actually risen up in a domineering manner. His cultivation base was even higher than him, the City Lord.
"Uncle-Master, what can I do for you?"
Ansheng bowed in front of Fu Zhengqing and looked at him with a face full of smiles.
Even though his cultivation was slightly higher than Fu Zhengqing's and he was actually a little arrogant, when he thought of what Yang Fan had told him before coming here, Ansheng instantly became well-behaved.
No matter what, this was his master's hometown. Fu Zhengqing and Qu Hongde were his master's senior brothers and elders. If they dared to be rude to these people, his master would have plenty of ways to teach them a lesson when he came over in a few days.
Fu Zhengqing nodded in satisfaction. He was very satisfied with Ansheng's respectful attitude. Seeing that this little fatty seemed to be the leader of this group, he asked him, "May I know why you're here in Dai Xing City this time?"
"We're here on Master's orders to assist Uncle-Master in building the Great City Defense Array!"
Ansheng reported to Fu Zhengqing seriously. "Master said that the northwest region is his hometown. The Great City Defense Array of the other Guardian Residences doesn't have to be built, but our Northwest Guardian Residence's Great City Defense Array must be built first!"
Well said.
As expected of my good junior brother!
When Fu Zhengqing heard this, he was so touched that he almost cried.
Qu Hongde also kept stroking his beard and nodding at the side. He secretly exclaimed that he didn't misjudge Yang Fan's character back then!
Previously, he was still in the City Governor's Office and suggested that Fu Zhengqing try looking for Yang Fan. In the end, before they could make a decision, Yang Fan had already sent people over.
"He's so young, but he's so thoughtful and doesn't forget his roots. That's rare!"
Qu Hongde couldn't help but feel happy. There was hope for the Great City Defense Array of Dai Xing City. It could be said that he had gotten rid of one of his worries.
Fu Zhengqing also looked happy. Ever since he heard about the battle report of the Federal Center City using the Great City Defense Array to trap and kill tens of thousands of demons, he had been itching to do something.
It would be pure nonsense to say that he didn't want to build a new Great City Defense Array that could trap and kill a half-step Emperor demon in Dai Xing City.
However, although he wanted to, he was powerless.
The moment he thought about the resources in Dai Xing City's warehouse, the joy on Fu Zhengqing's face began to fade.
It was still the same saying, a clever housewife can't cook without rice.
The chefs were here, but there wasn't enough food for them to cook. What could they do?
"Uncle-Master is happy that you guys can come. However, I appreciate your kindness. Let's forget about building the array …"
Before Fu Zhengqing could finish his sentence, An Sheng interrupted him. An Sheng looked at Fu Zhengqing with a smile and said, "Uncle-Master, are you worried about the problem of the materials for building the Great City Defense Array?"
"Master has already considered this. We brought a lot of materials with us this time. Furthermore, there will be a lot of resources from the Capital City that will be sent here in the future," An Sheng said calmly.
"Uncle-Master, you just need to gather some local cultivators to help dig and build the array foundation."
"Leave the resources and the array formation to us. I guarantee that we will be able to build a Great City Defense Array that's as good as the Federal Center City and the Capital City within three days!"
An Sheng wasn't boasting. The scale of Dai Xing City couldn't be compared to the Federal Center City and the Capital City at all. To them, building a Great City Defense Array in three days wasn't a difficult task.
"This … isn't very good. Won't Junior Brother Yang Fan be dragged into this?"
Fu Zhengqing was surprised. His first reaction wasn't to be surprised, but to consider Yang Fan's situation.
Would Yang Fan be able to bear the cost of gathering so many resources to build the array? How many favors and treasures would he have to pay?
"Don't worry, Uncle-Master!" An Sheng laughed and said loudly, "Some of these resources were given to us by City Lord Lan of the Capital City for free. Some of them were brought back from the Federal Center City by Master himself. It's not a big deal!"
As for treasures, did their master look like someone who was short of money?
It wasn't just An Sheng. Even Ling Tian, Sang Duoduo, Ji Danyun, and the others standing behind An Sheng couldn't help but chuckle.
Would their master be short of money?
That was impossible!
Not to mention that Yang Fan's resources were already unfathomable. He could even eat Soul Refining Pills and all kinds of emperor-level spiritual herbs as if they were dishes.
Just look at Yang Fan's current status in the hearts of the Federation's Territorial Lords. As long as he said the word, countless people would be willing to give the corresponding resources to him for free.
Although the resources needed to build the Great City Barrier Array for Dai Xing City were not cheap, it was nothing to Yang Fan.
"Is that really the case?"
Fu Zhengqing's eyes lit up when he heard this. He wasn't the kind of person who was inflexible and inflexible. If Yang Fan really had the ability, he wouldn't be stubborn for the sake of face.
At most, the Northwest Guardian Residence would just take a loan from Yang Fan for a batch of resources and materials. When they recovered, they would pay Yang Fan back in installments.
Fu Zhengqing wasn't just worried about the lack of resources in their treasury. He was also worried that he didn't have enough face to borrow enough money and resources from the Federation's central government or other Guardian Residences.
Otherwise, even if he had to sell everything he had, he would find a way to build this new Great City Barrier Array.
"Come, let's talk inside the city!"
Fu Zhengqing was overjoyed when he saw An Sheng nodding. Only then did he realize that they had been floating outside the city. He quickly extended his hand to invite Yang Fan's disciples into the city.
Inside the City Governor's Office.
Ren Zhengqing, Qu Hongde, An Sheng and the others took their seats. At this moment, Sha Qingsi and Ren Qingzhi also came over after hearing the news.
At this moment, Sha Qingsi was already a Level 5 Martial King. Ren Qingzhi had also successfully broken through to the Martial King Realm.
"Eldest Senior Brother!"
After seeing An Sheng, Sha Qingsi cupped her hands and greeted Little Fatty, Tian Feiyao and the others. At the same time, she was shocked by An Sheng and the others' rapid improvement in their cultivation.
An Sheng nodded in return and raised his hand.
Whoosh!
A Space Bracelet flew from An Sheng's hand to Sha Qingsi.
"Junior Sister Sha, these are some resources that Master asked me to give you as a gift. Among them is a Disciple Token. It is the identity token of all the disciples of the Demon Extermination Sect. You can start refining it now!"
An Sheng said softly. Sha Qingsi took the Space Bracelet and probed it with her Divine Sense. When she saw the vast amount of cultivation resources in the Space Bracelet, she couldn't help but be shocked.
Sure enough, Master was still the same Master. He was as rich as ever.
Soon, she found the Disciple Token that An Sheng had mentioned. Sha Qingsi took it out and refined it without hesitation. In the blink of an eye, the Disciple Token was successfully absorbed into her Spiritual Sea.
At the same time, Sha Qingsi suddenly trembled. Her Mind Power was also boiling and rolling.
Boom!
Her Mind Power leaked out and Sha Qingsi's Will Pressure also gushed out uncontrollably.
Breakthrough!
Level 2 Spiritual Spiritualist!
Just by refining a Disciple Token, her Mind Power cultivation had broken through the bottleneck and advanced to the next level.
Although Sha Qingsi's Spiritual Power was already at the peak of a Level-1 Spiritual Spiritualist, such an effortless advancement was enough to shock Qu Hongde, Fu Zhengqing, and Ren Qingzhi who were beside her.
