Chapter 183: He Is Just a Child
Building bridges, paving roads, and digging irrigation canals are not things that can be done in a single day, but both Li Yunxin and Yue Yunzi only needed a beginning.
By the 16th day of the sixth month, things were more or less finished.
Or rather... they had just begun.
From the 22nd day of the fifth month, when the people of the Divine Dragon Cult entered the city, to the 16th day of the sixth month, when the main temple of the Divine Dragon Cult on Taoxi Road was about to be completed, twenty-five days had passed. Outside Weicheng, sixteen irrigation canals, nineteen roads, and six bridges were under construction. In addition, twenty-four temples were being built at various locations.
In any country in the world, these would be enormous projects. However, both sides knew that these things might not necessarily be completed, and the people who were grateful and felt that a great blessing had descended were actually just pawns. Both sides were using them, but not for their sake, only for their own.
At the same time, in these twenty-five days, thirty-six low-level Taoist priests were killed.
Twenty-one died at the hands of the Divine Dragon Cult. The other fifteen gradually realized that something was wrong—because their companions were killed by a demon, and the Enlightened Master Yue Yunzi repeatedly told them to be patient. The demon kept attacking, and they had almost no means of self-preservation—these cultivators, who had previously held themselves in high regard, finally lost their arrogance and suspected that Yue Yunzi had ulterior motives.
Fortunately, they still had some sense—they didn't confront Yue Yunzi directly but chose to flee Weicheng in separate directions one night.
But within half an hour, these fifteen fleeing people were killed one by one by Yue Yunzi's clones in different places, and their souls were scattered.
