Upon hearing that Zhang Yuhe was the junior brother who joined the inner sect a hundred years ago through a token, Ming Fuqian was secretly surprised.
To be appointed as the garrison commander of Yunzhong Prefecture by the elders, one must have at least reached the Nascent Soul stage in cultivation.
Without its own strength to support it, relying solely on the prestige of the garrison commander is definitely not enough; otherwise, people would just fool it like an idiot.
"Could it be that he broke through from Qi Refining to Nascent Soul in just one hundred years?"
"That can't be right."
Ming Fuqian secretly released his divine sense to silently probe Zhang Yuhe's aura.
This investigation revealed that he could not sense Zhang Yuhe's presence at all.
Ming was taken aback.
"Could it be that he has already broken through to the Nascent Soul stage?"
"Absolutely impossible."
Ming Fuqian shook his head inwardly.
A hundred years to cultivate to the level of a deity? Even a reincarnated true immortal couldn't do that.
Watching Zhang Yuhe across from him quietly sipping his tea, Ming Fuqian felt a little envious.
He really wanted to know what level of cultivation Zhang Yuhe was at this moment, but obviously he couldn't ask him directly.
"I wonder what the current situation is like in Yunzhong Prefecture. Could you please tell me about it, Senior Brother?"
After finishing his tea, Zhang Yuhe asked modestly.
Since he would be stationed in Yunzhong Prefecture for an extended period, he naturally needed to understand the situation there first.
Ming Fuqian has been here for decades, so he should know a lot of information. It will be more convenient to ask him more questions in the future.
Moreover, this is a normal procedure for the handover of the garrison commander. Of course, whether others are willing to tell you the truth is another matter.
Ming Fuqian hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"Leaving aside forces below the second star level, there are five three-star forces in Cloud City: the Qian family, the Sun family, the Li family, the He family, and the Fengxin Tower."
"Among them, the Qian family and the Sun family have good relations with the garrison headquarters. They both have family members who cultivate in the outer sect of Dao Sheng Sect, so they should be trustworthy."
"As for the Li and He families, these two families have been rooted in Yunzhong Prefecture for tens of thousands of years, with their influence spreading across dozens of cities in Yunzhong Prefecture. Their strength should not be underestimated. However, they are relatively well-behaved and have always wanted to arrange for their family members to join the Daosheng Sect, but they have never succeeded."
"By the way, I heard that the He family patriarch was already at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage hundreds of years ago. I don't know if he has passed away or has broken through to the Deity Transformation stage. Junior brother, you need to be careful."
"As for Fengxin Tower, although they seem mysterious, they are not actually very strong. The tower master is only at the initial stage of Nascent Soul."
Ming Fuqian gave a general overview of the major powers in Yunzhong Prefecture.
Zhang Yuhe listened quietly, nodding silently.
Yu Fantian's indigenous forces are divided in an irregular way.
A force with a Foundation Establishment cultivator in charge is called a one-star force, and a force with a Golden Core cultivator in charge is called a two-star force.
A three-star power must have a Nascent Soul cultivator in charge, while a four-star power must have a Deity Transformation cultivator.
The highest level is the five-star power, which has a Void Refinement cultivator in charge. However, there are not many five-star powers in the entire Yu Fan Heaven. They are basically distributed in the major cities of the states.
As for five stars and above, there are none; the Dao Saint Sect does not allow such a powerful force to exist.
Of course, the Dao Sheng Sect doesn't count.
Rumor has it that the Dao Saint Sect has Mahayana cultivators, so strictly speaking, it should be considered a seven-star power.
However, the Dao Saint Sect is the rule-maker, so the number of stars is not important to them.
There are five three-star forces in Yunzhong Prefecture. Even though the He family patriarch has broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm, Zhang Yuhe doesn't take him seriously.
However, all of these are the forces that are visible to the public.
For him, things that are out in the open are not troublesome; what he fears is the presence of some unknown, hidden forces.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yuhe continued to ask.
"Senior Brother Ming, is there any hidden force in Yunzhong Prefecture?"
Ming Fuqian shook his head and replied.
"I don't know, at least I haven't heard of it."
Zhang Yuhe was still not giving up, and he continued to ask.
"Are there any records of activities by the Demon Clan or the Demon God Cult in the history of Yunzhong Prefecture?"
"No, let's not even talk about the demons. As extraterrestrial species, once they appear, they exude a thick demonic aura that can be sensed even from hundreds of miles away. Their whereabouts are almost impossible to hide."
"As for the Demon God Cult, I have been stationed here for decades and have not received any relevant information. In fact, going back several thousand years, there are no records of the Demon God Cult's activities in Yunzhong Prefecture."
Zhang Yuhe nodded to indicate that he understood; he had only asked casually and hadn't taken it seriously.
The Demon God Cult is, after all, a clandestine organization. Even a brief appearance of it is a significant event for the Dao Saint Sect.
Yunzhong Prefecture is just a prefecture, so it's normal that it hasn't appeared there.
The two chatted for a while longer before Ming Fuqian stood up and said something.
"Let me hand over the matters first. I need to hurry back to the sect for seclusion. I sensed a breakthrough opportunity earlier, and if I miss this chance, I don't know when I'll get another one."
"good."
The two quickly handed over the seals of office and the city's array control center, among other things.
After finishing their business, the two walked out of the mansion. Ming Fuqian released the flying boat and said to Zhang Yuhe.
"Junior brother, please stay here and oversee things. I'll head back to the sect now."
"Goodbye, Senior Brother Ming. If you have any questions in the future, you can use the jade token to ask him for advice."
"No problem."
After Ming finished speaking, he led a group of people onto the flying boat and left.
Ming Fuqian is not an individual; as a local, he also has family influence.
When he first came to Cloud City to take up his post, he brought a large group of people with him, and now that he is leaving, he naturally has to take them with him.
In fact, most of the disciples of the Dao Sheng Sect, both inner and outer, come from various factions, and it is rare to find someone like Zhang Yuhe who is all alone.
This is also a means by which the Dao Sheng Sect connects with and controls various forces.
By recruiting disciples, they tightly bound together various forces.
After Ming Fuqian left, the entire garrison headquarters was instantly empty.
Looking at the remaining two or three kittens, Zhang Yuhe was speechless.
How the hell is he supposed to do this? If no one helps him, he's like a blind man or a deaf man, completely unaware of any information from the outside world.
I can't just go around patrolling all day long, otherwise I'd be useless for cultivation.
Moreover, even if he works very hard, he couldn't possibly manage it all by himself.
It's important to know that Yunzhong Prefecture doesn't just have this one prefecture city; it also governs hundreds of small and medium-sized cities.
It's not that as long as the prefectural city is safe, everything is fine; the cities below are also within his monitoring scope.
If trouble arises in the cities below, the responsibility will also fall on his shoulders.
"We need to think of a way to get some people to help with the work."
Zhang Yuhe's mind raced as he considered where to find someone.
Asking other players for help is one option, but the players are not very strong right now. The highest cultivation level is only Foundation Establishment, and I haven't heard of any players at the Golden Core stage.
More importantly, players are scattered across various locations, and there are probably not many players in Yunzhong Prefecture.
Relying solely on players won't be enough; we need to find some local forces to help.
