As soon as the Ghost King said that Xie Yunnan was the heir, the eyes of the people present looked at Xie Yunnan in different ways.
Especially the people on the Ghost King’s side. Xie Yunnan is now a big treasure in their eyes.
The Ghost King’s subordinates were even curious – did their boss know about this, which is why he suddenly accepted Xie Yunnan as a student?
Duan Changqing knew that the Ghost King was talking nonsense.
But he thinks it’s good for the Ghost King to say so, at least Xie Yunnan’s status will be very high in the future… It’s just now… His family’s Yunnan is stunned.
The Ghost King said again at this time: “Okay, are you full? Let’s go to work next! Take control over the Liao family’s food, and sell it at a low price!”
To secure Hongye City, apart from force, they must be recognized by ordinary people first.
As for how to get the public’s approval… Now what the people lack most is foo, so open the warehouse and release it.
Although it’s a bit unkind… but they should actually thank the Liao family.
Hearing the Ghost King’s words, the head of the Liao family turned pale.
Ever since he learned that his grandson was reborn, he has been dreaming of the Liao family’s great success.
But now… he woke up.
Not only did he wake up from the dream, the Liao family sold a lot of properties to buy supplies. If the supplies are gone… the Liao family will vanish as well.
However, the Ghost King and the others are very ferocious. Let alone the Liao family, the other big families might not survive.
Thinking of this, he felt a lot more comfortable.
But he was only comfortable for a short while before being tied up.
The other families didn’t do such immoral things, so the Ghost King didn’t move them for the time being.
They need the Liao family to quell the anger of the people, and they also lack a chicken to kill and warn the monkeys1use the Liao family as an example to rein in the other families.
The Ghost King arranged work for people, and then said to Xie Yunnan, “Yunnan, come with me.”
Xie Yunnan followed the Ghost King outside to an open space.
“Yunnan, sorry, before. I didn’t tell you my identity, I’m actually a rebel.”
“Master, no one would have thought of this.” Xie Yunnan said.
It is understandable that his master concealed his identity.
His master hasn’t known him for a long time, so he definitely won’t tell him such a thing.
Xie Yunnan was more concerned about other things. “Master, you said before that you would distribute the Liao family’s grain. What do you mean? The price of grain rose because of the Liao family?”
“Yes.” The Ghost King said.
Xie Yunnan asked again: “Then saying that I am the heir of the High Priest…”
“In this way, your safety is more secure and it is also beneficial to us.” The Ghost King said.
“Will it be dismantled?”
“No, the High Priest is dead, and… your talent as a priest is really strong.” The Ghost King told Xie Yunnan in detail about what happened in the Holy City before.
After he finished speaking, he asked Xie Yunnan again, “Would you like to come with me to deal with Hongye City?”
If Xie Yunnan didn’t want to go, then he will be protected by virtue of his status as a priest.
If Xie Yunnan is willing to go… He will do his best to let Xie Yunnan be familiar with all this.
Xie Yunnan didn’t hesitate: “I’ll go.”
Things are changing too fast and developing too fast.
But Xie Yunnan wants to seize this… It may bring him a chance for great changes.
——–
The general district of Hongye City.
The streets in the general district are still very spacious and convenient for all kinds of large trucks, but the residents here use the same means of transportation as in the fringe area. Mostly motorcycles, battery cars, or bicycles.
But their lives are much better than those in the fringes.
With a stable income, they basically have no worries about food and clothing.
But an accident happened recently.
As the price of food rose again and again, those who liked to hoard food at home were fine, but the life of the rest became miserable.
Young people are okay, they can buy food quickly, but some older people could only starve.
Aunt Liu has been starving recently.
She has a large family and consumes a lot of food. When the price of food first rose, she hadn’t stocked up… She ran out of food recently.
Her family can only go out of the city to find things to eat, then come back to cook and eat.
But there are hundreds of thousands of people in Hongye City, and many people think like them. They can’t get anything at all.
Some people want to rob others, but only those with strength are able to do so successfully.
Aunt Liu sat at the door of her house, weakly muttering, “Where has the food gone?”
The old man next door said, “All the restaurants that sell food are closed, how are we going to live these days!”
“They’re going to starve us to death!”
“I heard that all the small towns in the fringe area have been cut off from water and electricity. Many supplies cannot be bought, and the price of gasoline has skyrocketed.”
“A few days ago, a group of young men had no choice but to go to Hongye Forest, but none came back.”
The Liao family hoarded not only food, but also various materials. And now, Hongye City can’t keep supplying electricity.
The price of electricity kept going up, and many places faced outages recently.
While they were sighing, someone suddenly ran over: “Good news! Good news! Food is being sold outside! Our city has been occupied by the Ghost King. He found countless grains from the Liao family and is selling them at a low price!”
“Really?”
“Of course it’s true, it’s on the TV!”
The news of the sale of food was indeed on the TV, and at the same time, the people of Hongye City were informed about the change of ownership of Hongye City through TV.
On this continent, each city is relatively independent and self-sufficient, and there are not many exchanges with other cities.
Because some cities have a bad relationship with the Holy City, their standards are different from those of the Holy City.
Now that Hongye City is independent, the Ghost King and the others notified other cities, and then set up places to sell food in Hongye City, selling it at the original price before prices rose.
There were a lot of people who came to buy food, and some people even wanted to rob them. Those who tried to rob were all arrested by the warriors arranged by the Ghost King at various food shops.
After Meng Yan and the others surrendered in tears, other people in Hongye City also surrendered, especially the army in Hongye City… Now that they have no shortage of people, order was maintained very well.
“In the past, the price of food rose because the Liao family maliciously bought a large amount of food and bought out the food on the market.”
“Now the Liao family has been imprisoned, Lord Ghost King will ensure that everyone can eat enough.”
“Everyone can buy it, and there is enough food!” The host on the TV announced loudly with a microphone. While speaking, he showed the crowd at one of the food selling spots.
In a house in Hongye City, an old man frowned while watching the TV. “The Ghost King is so powerful? Meng Yan and the others are in Hongye City, can he still take down Hongye City?”
“Sir, I heard that it was Meng Yan and the others who defected.”
How could they defect? Go find out,” the old man said.
Someone came back soon with the answer. “Sir, Meng Yan and Jiao Qinyun said that they admired the High Priest, and were not in the same league as those who harmed the High Priest, so they turned to the Ghost King.”
“They’re talking nonsense!” The old man stood up abruptly. “They are not from the High Priest’s side at all! They were clearly…”
The old man is a ninth-level warrior and on the High Priest’s side.
He is not the confidant of the High Priest, but because the previous High Priest saved him, he is loyal to the High Priest.
When the High Priest disappeared, he immediately took people to look for him along the river.
Even if others salvaged the clothes and mask left by the High Priest in the river and felt that the High Priest had no bones left, he still did not give up searching.
As for Meng Yan and Jiao Qinyun… He knew that neither of them belonged to the High Priest.
These two people opposed the High Priest before!
These two people are completely abhorrent, they even used the High Priest as a guise!
The old man yelled and was about to dismantle Meng Yan and Jiao Qinyun when the TV said that the Ghost King had found the heir of the High Priest…
Xie Yunnan appeared on the TV, and the old man jumped up immediately.
This man is not the heir of the High Priest at all! They lie!
The High Priest is already dead, and these people still use the High Priest to deceive the world. Unforgivable!
When the people on the High Priest’s side learned about the situation in Hongye City, many were filled with righteous indignation.
On the other side, Liao Muye also watched the TV.
Seeing this… Liao Muye almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
After he was reborn, he did so much in order to surpass Xie Yunnan.
As a result…their Liao family was about to be tried for maliciously hoarding food. He was the only fish that slipped through the net, and didn’t dare to go out. But Xie Yunnan… Xie Yunnan turned out to be a priest and was named “heir” to the High Priest?
Xie Yunnan was not a priest at all in his last life, how could he become a priest now?
Could it be… the Ghost King gave Xie Yunnan the treasure left by the High Priest?
How could Xie Yunnan’s luck be so good!
Liao Muye took a long deep breath to calm down his emotions.
He can’t be rush.
What if Xie Yunnan got the treasure left by the High Priest? Even with the treasure, isn’t he still dead?
That thing… those who are not strong enough can’t control it at all!
Xie Yunnan himself does not have the talent to become a priest, so if he insists on becoming a priest, he will only be unlucky!
He is different. After getting the exotic plant, he will definitely be able to stimulate his bloodline and become a strong man!
Xie Yunnan became a ninth-level powerhouse in his previous life. He can’t be worse than Xie Yunnan!
Thinking about the exotic plant again, Liao Muye planned to see it tomorrow.
Although it will take a long time for this exotic plant to grow, he is uneasy if he does not go to see it.
Duan Changqing has just left the central district to go search for spiritual plants.
Xie Yunnan is well-protected and very busy, so he doesn’t have to worry about his safety, and can do his own thing.
And then… it was a coincidence that he didn’t even reach Hongye Forest, and found a spiritual plant.
This spiritual plant can stimulate one’s bloodline. It’s useless to him, but is very suitable for Xie Yunnan.
Guess which plant he found.
