Azure Cloud Town Crackdown Operation
Azure Cloud Town has now become a joke among many people.
In the past two weeks, apart from the locals who have already completed their household registration, only a very small number of the visiting monks have registered their household registration and obtained temporary residence permits.
Most of the people, led by a few at the Primordial Spirit Realm, did not register.
Jiang Zhiqiu could only manage a bitter smile when faced with this group of people.
How do we control this group of people?
In most sects, those at the Primordial Spirit Realm are already considered ancestral figures.
Even in top-tier sects, those at the Primordial Spirit Realm are the backbone of the force, and many special Primordial Spirit Realm hold quite high positions.
Therefore, many major sects do not strictly enforce these restrictions.
It's incredibly difficult for an Azure Cloud Town to restrain someone of this level.
Jiang Zhiqiu felt that in the end, they would probably have to ask several of his senior uncles to take action.
Because several Primordial Spirit Realm could not be restrained, many plans in Azure Cloud Town could not be implemented.
All sorts of obstacles left Jiang Zhiqiu extremely anxious. He was worried that he wouldn't be able to complete the five-year plan set by his Eldest Senior Brother within five years.
Just as he was getting anxious, someone sent by Zhang Changshan brought news of his Eldest Senior Brother.
"My Eldest Senior Brother said that there will be a crackdown in Azure Cloud Town in three days!"
Jiang Zhiqiu was stunned.
"What does 'crackdown' mean?" Jiang Zhiqiu asked the messenger.
"My Eldest Senior Brother means to resolve the current problems in Azure Cloud Town severely, strictly, and as quickly as possible, and to eliminate all factors hindering the development of Azure Cloud Town."
Jiang Zhiqiu couldn't hold back any longer.
How to solve this?
The messenger chuckled and said, "Senior Brother Jiang, don't be nervous. The reason our Eldest Senior Brother said the crackdown would begin in three days is because our troops are practicing shooting! In three days, it will be time for actual combat!"
After saying that, he returned to his sect to watch the spear practice.
Jiang Zhiqiu was still completely confused; he couldn't understand it!
Meanwhile, Zhang Yang was leading 10,000 men who had already acquired guns in shooting practice.
He personally stepped forward to explain how to aim, how to shoot, and other essential techniques.
Ten thousand disciples began their training, following Zhang Yang's instructions.
Looking at the ten thousand disciples holding guns, Zhang Yang felt a surge of excitement.
These newly forged guns are far more powerful than his old Barrett.
His Barrett back then was made from ordinary materials.
These guns are now mostly Nine-Rank Magic Artifact, and some even reach the Eight-Rank Magic Artifact.
Furthermore, some bullets, due to their unique materials, possess unique powers governed by the Laws of Heaven and Earth. Some explode upon impact, some freeze, some unleash lightning... and some are even highly poisonous!
When equipped with these special bullets, it's not strictly a gun anymore, it's a cannon!
Each strike possessed the power of a Nascent Soul Peak's attack.
These special bullets were not produced in large quantities because they consumed too many materials.
Even ordinary bullets, because they are made with Law Treasure materials, are stronger and harder, far exceeding the power of Zhang Yang's Barrett rifle and having a destructive force that surpasses the Golden Core level.
Although the power has increased, the energy consumption has also increased.
The bullets that are fired are all materials for weapon forging!
As Zhang Yang watched the bullets being fired, it was as if he were witnessing Spirit Stone Annihilation one by one.
He said to Zhang Changshan and the others beside him, "After you finish practicing shooting, send someone to retrieve the bullets for me. Re-forge them, and you'll have another bullet!"
"Yes, Eldest Senior Brother!" Wang Baole and the others nodded repeatedly.
They were extremely excited.
They had all witnessed the power of those guns.
Each gun doesn't require much spiritual energy to fire; even a Foundation Establishment Realm disciple who has successfully opened their Spirit Sea can fire seven or eight shots.
If they were Golden Core disciples, firing as many shots as they wanted wouldn't be a problem.
Their team truly possessed formidable firepower.
Everyone is training hard now, and in three days they will fully demonstrate the power of these things.
After three days of rigorous training, on the morning of the fourth day, Zhang Yang ordered all disciples who already had guns to assemble!
Ten thousand people were neatly gathered in the Martial Practice Arena, each solemnly holding a gun.
The ten thousand men were divided into three square formations, exuding a chilling and murderous aura.
Standing in front of the formation, Zhang Yang solemnly said, "We have made up our minds to build Azure Cloud Town into a livable city. However, some outsiders at the Nascent Soul Realm and Primordial Spirit Realm are relying on their strength to hinder the construction of the entire Azure Cloud Town."
Today, we will thoroughly eliminate these bad apples and restore a peaceful environment for all residents of Azure Cloud Town.
Now we will begin dividing into teams of one hundred people each, with each team led by a Golden Core cultivator.
"Begin the operation, divide your teams into groups."
Wang Baole and others immediately began to assign tasks, dividing the 10,000 people into small teams.
They themselves even took on the role of team leader.
One hundred teams have been formed.
Zhang Yang said sternly, "When carrying out missions, everyone should support and help each other."
If someone resists law enforcement, warn them three times and if they don't listen, kill them!
Anyone who violently resists should be killed without warning!
Anyone in the Nascent Soul Realm or Primordial Spirit Realm who shows any hostility, kill them!
Everyone, head to Azure Cloud Town immediately!
I hereby declare the Crackdown Operation in Azure Cloud Town commence!
Ten thousand people boarded the flying boats and headed towards Azure Cloud Town.
Zhang Yang also rushed over and personally took charge.
Such a massive operation had already alarmed the people on the Azure Cloud Sect's side.
Cang Song, Azure Cloud Master, and the others have extended their Divine Sense to Azure Cloud Town, ready to provide support at any time.
Teams marched into Azure Cloud Town.
"People with household registration in Azure Cloud Town, don't worry, everyone should stay home and not go out."
"Anyone without a temporary residence permit, leave Azure Cloud Town immediately!"
"Warning: Anyone without a temporary residence permit, please leave Azure Cloud Town immediately!"
Teams were inspecting everyone in Azure Cloud Town.
At this moment, Zhang Changshan, leading a team of a hundred men, was confronting a Nascent Soul Realm.
The Nascent Soul was furious, pointing at Zhang Changshan and shouting, "What exactly do you mean? What right do you have to make me register? What right do you have to control me?"
Zhang Changshan stared intently at the Nascent Soul Realm and said, "As long as you are in Azure Cloud Town, you must register! This is the rule of Azure Cloud Town!"
I checked the list, and you are not registered and do not have a temporary residence permit. Now, please leave Azure Cloud Town!
"I'm not leaving, what can you do about it?" the Nascent Soul Realm sneered.
"First warning, please leave immediately!" Zhang Changshan raised his hand, and all one hundred people behind him raised their guns, aiming at the Nascent Soul Realm.
However, the Nascent Soul Realm was not afraid at all.
Because the gun's spiritual energy fluctuations were not strong at all.
It is indeed Law Treasure, but it is probably only Nine-Rank Magic Artifact, or at most Eight-Rank Magic Artifact.
There are many people, but most of them are in the Foundation Establishment Realm.
What's the use of having a large number of people when your cultivation level is so low?
"Warning for the second time!"
"I also want to warn you, if you really anger me, don't blame me for taking action against you!"
Even the Nascent Soul Realm brought out their Law Treasure, Nine-Rank Treasure Artifact, though the Law Treasure was slightly inferior.
However, his spiritual power is genuine.
When Nascent Soul wields Nine-Rank Treasure Artifact, its power is still considerable.
"Third warning! Fire!"
They had already targeted one hundred people at the Nascent Soul Realm and fired simultaneously!
A cloud of blood mist exploded, and the Nascent Soul Realm vanished!
They don't even deserve to be riddled with bullets; they're just blown to bits!
The Eldest Senior Brother said, "Always keep hope!"
