<h4>Chapter 1153: Chapter 1150: To Die for All Beings, My Heart Has No Regrets</h4>


    As soon as these words were spoken.


    Everyone present changed their expressions.


    At this moment, they realized that Xu Wendong had invited them to dinner, not just for a simple meal.


    No!


    To be precise, if they wanted to enjoy this meal, they needed to show some sincerity; it couldn’t be a free ride.


    As the leader of the Red Flower Society, the number one among over thirty forces, Xiong Chumo was the first to express her stance: "Our Red Flower Society is willing to heed Lord Xu’s call and contribute one million spirit stones to Carefree City in a gesture within our means!"


    She and Xu Wendong were close friends, naturally, she would be the first to stand up and support Xu Wendong.


    Hearing Xiong Chumo’s words, other leaders of the forces, though reluctant, also expressed their willingness to donate spirit stones to assist the development of Carefree City.


    Chu Ye was the registrar of Carefree City; she was holding pen and paper, recording the amount of spirit stones donated by each person, responsible for coordinating the work.


    In less than the time of one cup of tea, over thirty Jianghu forces had donated eighteen million spirit stones.


    This was undoubtedly a sizable sum, as Carefree City’s total ie over the years hadn’t reached five million.


    Xu Wendong continued, "To promote the development of Carefree City, spirit stones alone are far from enough; we also need vast manpower."


    "As far as I know, your thirty-one sects have a total of sixty thousand members, and these people need to be ready for deployment at any time."


    Everyone’s expressions changed; they could ept paying for peace.


    But if they had to ept Xu Wendong’s deployment, it was something they were unwilling to see.


    After all, what cultivators yearn for most is a life of freedom and independence.


    This contradicts their original intention for entering Carefree City.


    Xu Wendong paid no attention to these people and said indifferently, "Of course, I will not treat you poorly."


    "I will re-register everyone, regardless of your ancestral origins or whether you carry any crimes; I will give you a brand new identity."


    Boom!


    His words were like a bolt from the blue, causing everyone’s scalp to tingle.


    Though they didn’t want to follow Xu Wendong’s dispatch.


    There was one thing undeniable.


    The conditions he offered were truly tempting.


    After all, most of the cultivators entering Carefree City carried some crimes; otherwise, they wouldn’t havee here.


    To put it simply.


    He offered everyone a chance to start anew!


    "The Sandao Association is willing to follow Lord Xu’s dispatch, risking life and limb without hesitation!" A middle-aged man stood up excitedly.


    Tears welled up in his eyes, and his body trembled.


    His thoughts are with his parents and wife and children.


    Unfortunately, he carried crimes on his shoulders, barely surviving in Carefree City.


    "Willing to follow Lord Xu’s dispatch, risking life and limb without hesitation!"


    More and more people stood up, expressing their attitudes.


    Xu Wendong portrayed calmness, as all of this was within his expectations; he didn’t believe anyone could refuse the chance to start anew.


    "Let me express my ideas!" Xu Wendong’s voice rang out again, originally chaotic scene suddenly quieted down to pin-drop silence: "I n to cultivate a in, where grains, spirit rice, and spirit fruits will be nted!"


    "I wonder what thoughts you all have?"


    The crowd looked at each other, although speechless, they felt this idea was immature.


    Pei Yuang stood up and respectfully said, "Lord Xu, Carefree City is mostly mountainous, with special geographical location; there is no suitable ce to cultivatend."


    "Although there is a in five thousand miles southwest, close to the sea, thend there is saline-alkali soil, which makes it impossible to cultivate crops."


    "Though the Northeast has t terrain, it belongs to Beiming Country; only a few good fields are avable, and cultivation costs are high."


    "The Northwest is simr, with some good fields, but adjacent to Langya Country."


    "Throughout the territory of Carefree City, the area of arablend doesn’t exceed a thousand acres; moreover, it is very scattered, with no cultivation necessity."


    Xu Wendong: "Then let’s level the mountains within Carefree City’s scope!"


    The moment his words fell, a yellowish light roared out from within his body, directly flying toward the mountain range a hundred miles east.


    Though night had fallen, the moon hung high in the sky, and cultivators have extraordinary eyesight, they could clearly see the distant scene.


    As the County Seal flew above the distant mountain range, Xu Wendong pinched the spell with one hand.


    In an instant.


    The County Seal erupted with a terrifying ray of light, like a zing sun, illuminating thend.


    When the light dimmed, a County Seal about ten thousand feet high, shaped like a mountain, was floating in the sky.


    Even separated by hundreds of miles, everyone still felt a destructive power sweeping forth.


    "Fall!"


    Xu Wendong’s voice sounded crisp.


    The next moment.


    The massive County Seal heavily struck the mountain range below.


    Boom!


    With a deafening explosion resounding through the night, the ground began to tremble.


    Giving a vision of the impending apocalypse.


    Even the entire Carefree City trembled, causing panic and unease.


    Fortunately, Carefree City had a protective formation, or else it would’ve turned into ruins.


    Whiz!


    The County Seal turned into a light and flew back into Xu Wendong’s body, and everyone was shocked to see that the mountain range that had stood for tens of thousands of years had indeed been leveled.


    Gasp!


    Everyone was breathless, a strong sense of suffocation spreading.


    They all knew the terror of the County Seal!


    But no one expected it to be terrifying to this extent.


    Even strong cultivators like Shen Congwen, Pei Yuang, Du Nanqiu in the Great Ascension Late Stage, had lingering fears.


    They asked themselves, if the County Seal had appeared above their heads just now, even with their Great Ascension Late Stage cultivation level, they would have been spirit-scattered and soul-lost.


    It truly was frightening beyond measure!


    "Lord Xu, you are confused!"


    At this time.


    The voice of County Official Liu Zhengtong rang, full of anxiety: "All mountains in the ckwater Kingdom are registered, each mountain holds a value; unauthorized destruction affects our ckwater Kingdom’s feng shui and national fortune!"


    "This is a serious crime, leading to spirit scattered and soul shattered!"


    Upon hearing this.


    Except for Xiong Chumo and Chen Xi, everyone else felt a secret joy.


    They hadn’t expected even mountains had a registry, much less that arbitrary destruction of mountains would be a serious crime.


    This made them very excited and happy.


    No matter how Xu Wendong refined the County Seal, bing the invincible of Carefree City, what of it?


    If you vite thew, no one can protect you.


    Xu Wendong chuckled lightly: "I, Mr. Xu, do not believe a few mountains can affect my ckwater Kingdom’s feng shui and national fortune."


    "I only know, the people’s well-being and happiness is the best feng shui and national fortune!"


    "If I am truly guilty."


    "Then let the heavens judge me."


    "To die for all beings, my heart has no regrets!"
