Chapter 8: Beast Tide Strikes (1) (Chapter 3 Additional Update)
Centering on Purple Sun Mountain, those counties are spread over an area of three thousand miles, with a population exceeding two million. Among these two million, over one million belong to the Lu Clan.
After a thousand years of expansion, the descendants of the Lu Family have grown to number in the millions. However, due to the chaos of demon beasts, the chaos of evil cultivators, and other calamities, coupled with natural and man-made disasters, the population has suffered significant losses. If not for these, the Lu surname population would be even greater.
As for the remaining one million, they are mostly comprised of outsiders, living under the protection of the Lu Family.
It’s even harder for ordinary people to survive. Without cultivator protection, they could become feed for demon beasts or be used in blood sacrifice rituals by demon cultivators.
Villages and towns without cultivator protection wouldn’t last ten days before they are annihilated.
Towns must have a Qi Cultivation Cultivator stationed;
Counties must have a Late Qi Cultivation Cultivator stationed.
In a prefecture, there must be a Purple Mansion Cultivator stationed.
Without powerful cultivators, there’s no way to protect ordinary people.
Cultivators are glad to protect these ordinary people, not because they have kind hearts, but because ordinary people are the foundation for cultivators. The more ordinary people there are, the more cultivators can emerge.
