Wars are fought for money, and this principle is also true in the world of immortal cultivation.

So when most of the businesses were restricted, the independent cultivators reveled in this war. The first thing was the recruitment of personnel.

The Trident Fish Gang and the Giant Wave Fish Gang did not have many people. Usually, there were only two or three hundred core members, plus four or five hundred peripheral members. It was difficult to join their core members, and the requirements were very high.

But once the war started, in less than seven days, the two gangs each became a huge gang of four or five thousand people, because they kept spending money to recruit peripheral members. The amount of spiritual stones for the Qi training period ranged from ten to thirty spiritual stones a day, and there were rewards for meritorious service on the battlefield. The poor independent cultivators in Yunzhong City flocked to it.

The second thing was the consumption of various materials. There was no need to say much about food, clothing, housing and transportation. The materials for combat cultivation were also consumed crazily. Although there were still some small businesses that participated secretly, the main force was the larger number of independent cultivators, and even Lin Jiang, a transparent person, also benefited from it. Various spiritual talismans were not worried about selling at all, just like the centennial celebration of Yunzhong City a few years ago.

"Why do I feel like the two major sects are cleaning up the low-end population in the city?"

Lin Jiang looked at the various strange things in the war between the two gangs and suspected that the two major sects were deliberately cleaning up the population in Yunzhong City.

Yunzhong City has a population of one million, and 90% of them are Qi training period casual cultivators. These Qi training period casual cultivators are extremely poor people. Although the two sects have always adopted a high-pressure policy to protect the rules of Yunzhong City, these rules are sometimes not so useful for poor and crazy cultivators. I don't know how many are willing to take risks for spirit stones.

So from the perspective of the two major sects, it is normal to regularly clean up a group of low-end populations. The war of the fish gang is a good means. They can recruit many casual cultivators at a low price, and they must be those who are poor, warlike, and violent.

"Liu Yuan disappeared"

On the 27th day of the war between the two gangs, Liu Yuan did not appear in the East City Market. Lin Jiang keenly realized that something might have happened to the Sancha Fish Gang.

As expected, in less than half an hour, the immortal cultivator in charge of purchasing materials for the Giant Wave Fish Gang openly said in the big market, "The Three Forks Fish Gang is dead. Yesterday, the Three Forks Fish Gang and my Giant Wave Fish Gang fought at the mouth of the Yuntuo River. The leader of the Three Forks Fish Gang, Song Yi, was killed by my leader of the Giant Wave Fish Gang, Liu Jian, and more than 700 members of the Three Forks Fish Gang were killed..."

When the news came out, the big market was in an uproar. The strength of the Three Forks Fish Gang and the Giant Wave Fish Gang was similar, and the cultivation of the two gang leaders was also similar. Unexpectedly, they were defeated, and most of the backbones were killed. The Three Forks Fish Gang was also destroyed, and the carnival of the scattered cultivators was coming to an end.

In the afternoon, more news came that the Three Forks Fish Gang was indeed destroyed. Yesterday, the two gangs had a decisive battle, and each sent out its backbones. In the decisive battle, the Great Elder of the Giant Wave Fish Gang, who was originally only in the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Period, suddenly showed the Golden Core cultivation, and cooperated with its leader Liu Jian to kill the leader of the Three Forks Fish Gang, Song Yi, in one fell swoop.

The gang leaders were all dead, so the remaining people were not to be feared. Most of the backbones of the Sancha Fish Gang were killed, and the others all fled. Now the Giant Wave Fish Gang should be taking over the Sancha Fish Gang's territory.

"I won't eat the fish of Yunzhong City within a year."

Lin Jiang heard the details of the battle between the two gangs, and knew that most of the dead on both sides were pushed into the Yuntuo River. Lin Jiang immediately felt sick. He would not touch the demon fish of Yunzhong City within a year. However,

the next day, Lin Jiang actually saw Liu Hui's family at the East City Market. Liu Hui, Liu Yuan, Liu Siyu and Liu Jie's son Liu Dong, a total of four people, they looked very embarrassed, Liu Hui even broke an arm, and Liu Yuan also had a terrible wound on his face.

They were surrounded by a dozen immortal cultivators, who kept scolding and provoking them, but never took the initiative to attack. It seemed that they were from the Giant Wave Fish Gang.

"Fellow Daoist Wu, what's going on?"

"Fellow Daoist Lin, you always come so late that you can't even catch up to eat the melons."

"Haha, that's right, Fellow Daoist Wu, please tell me about it."

"What else could it be? The Three-forked Fish Gang was defeated and most of them were killed. Fellow Daoist Liu's family is temporarily alive and has taken refuge in Yunzhong City. Fighting is prohibited in Yunzhong City, so you can take shelter temporarily, but you will die sooner or later."

"Maybe you can survive if you have money, just don't leave the city."

"Fellow Daoist Lin thinks it's simple. They are not Fellow Daoist Lin. They have the ability to make a living in the city. What will they do when their money runs out? Although Yunzhong City doesn't have a curfew, can you hang around the streets all the time without eating and sleeping? You'll go crazy after a few months. Besides, can't the Giant Wave Fish Gang hire a few assassins?"

The vendors nearby said that Yunzhong City could only give them a temporary chance to hide. It would definitely not work for a long time. The cultivators in the Qi training stage needed to eat and sleep. Even compared with ordinary people, they could not support themselves for a long time. Even

if Liu Hui's family brought enough money, it would not work. The Giant Wave Fish Gang was not stupid. They would hire a few casual cultivators to fight with them. As long as no one died, Yunzhong City would not kill them, but would expel them. Once they were expelled from the city, it would be a lawless place. Therefore, Liu Hui's family was doomed.

"What a pity"

"It's indeed a pity. What a good young lady."

Daoyou Wu looked at Liu Siyu and said. More than ten years had passed, and Liu Siyu was still so beautiful, even more charming than when she was young.

"Yes, beautiful women always make people feel sorry for them."

"Friend Lin is rich, maybe you can go and kiss that beauty when the time comes."

"What do you mean?"

"Tsk, there are a lot of secret prostitutes outside the city. The men of the Trident Fish Gang died in the battle, and the women are the same. When the time comes, their meridians will be destroyed and their cultivation will be sealed, and they will be sold to brothels. With Liu Siyu's beauty, she must be sold for hundreds of spirit stones."

"That's true."

"Friend Lin, I see that you have a good relationship with the Liu family. Let me give you a tip. Liu Hui is definitely asking for something from you. You can't be soft-hearted. If you take them in, the Giant Wave Fish Gang will definitely not let you go. The Liu family is the backbone of the Trident Fish Gang."

"I know."

Lin Jiang nodded. The Giant Wave Fish Gang is very powerful, with two Jindan, at least a dozen foundation-building stage, and hundreds of gang members. Lin Jiang is alone and would not do such a stupid thing. What

Fellow Daoist Wu said made a lot of sense. Liu Hui had already started begging people from stall to stall, hoping that someone would take them in

. As long as they had a place to live, they could support themselves in Yunzhong City for a long time, and perhaps they could change the outcome. But the people from the Giant Wave Fish Gang were watching from the side, so who would dare to help?

"Fellow Daoist Lin..."

Finally, Liu Hui and his family came to Lin Jiang's stall.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, you are polite."

"I am just a casual cultivator."

The people from the Giant Wave Fish Gang also bowed to Lin Jiang. The leader was the one who came to purchase supplies before, and he already knew Lin Jiang.

"Fellow Daoist Lin is a smart man, and we won't make things difficult for you. The Liu family is doomed. Fellow Daoist Lin really wants to cherish women, so you can come to my Giant Wave Fish Gang to see. Maybe you can get close to her by spending some money."

The man pointed at Liu Siyu and said, Liu Siyu is beautiful, and many people are staring at her. The Giant Wave Fish Gang is also happy to see this, and they can drive up the price and sell Liu Siyu for a good price.

"Okay, I'll go and see them then. But fellow Daoist, the Liu family and I have been neighbors for many years and they treat me well on weekdays. Can I treat them to a bowl of rice?"

"Fellow Daoist Lin, don't make things difficult for me."

"Everyone come together. If you ask around, you should know my character. I never like to owe favors to others. Before, I went fishing outside the city and they helped me a lot. It's a favor. You guys are watching. You're not afraid that I'll do something wrong, right?"

"Okay, then thank you, fellow Daoist Lin."

The man bowed his hands. Anyway, they were all watching, and he could get a free meal, so that was fine.

Lin Jiang bowed his hands to thank them, then took the talisman and took them to a food stall. The Liu family had one table and the Giant Wave Fish Gang had two tables.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist Lin."

Liu Hui didn't know what to say for a while. Among all the friends on the street, only Lin Jiang was willing to help a little.

"Practicing cultivation is not easy, as Fellow Daoist Liu often says. I, Lin Yu, am not very capable and cannot save you. I can only repay Fellow Daoist Liu's favor with a meal,"

Lin Jiang said. His voice was not loud, but people around him could hear it. The people from the Giant Wave Fish Gang were also moved when they heard this. No one likes the kind of ungrateful person who remembers the smallest favor in their hearts. They also admire such people very much. After all, everyone may fall into trouble and everyone hopes that someone can help them when they are in trouble.
