Liang Sheng walked out of the Yaoxiang Pavilion with an air of nonchalance. The rogue cultivators had already been frightened by Huang Yifan, not daring to look his way. They hastily scampered away from the Yaoxiang Pavilion in sheer disarray.

The madame and her henchmen in the Yaoxiang Pavilion watched Liang Sheng with awe gleaming in their eyes. They always knew that this rich visitor was unusual, but they had not expected him to be this unusual.

An ordinary servant is a Nascent Soul master, then this person…

Is he a real hidden world tycoon!?

The madame, who would always welcome Liang Sheng enthusiastically, faltered for a moment, too scared for once to approach and greet him.

He was too terrifying!

Liang Sheng didn’t pay any attention to the madame’s reaction. Of course, he knew that Huang Yifan’s actions had drawn the attention of others.

But now that he had the power to protect himself, revealing some superficial information about his capabilities could save him from unnecessary trouble. Why not?

The chaos in Immortal City was already at hand. To ward off unwanted disturbances, he could save himself the daily hassle of intervening.

As Liang Sheng walked the streets, he observed some rogue cultivators with decent cultivation levels openly robbing houses. Spells flew across the scene, with individuals occasionally meeting their end on the spot.

There were ill-sighted rogue cultivators on their way home too, but they couldn’t get within ten meters of Liang Sheng before being killed by Huang Yifan’s fierce gaze.

This puppet body was a late-stage Nascent Soul master. How could ordinary cultivators provoke him? The journey was safe and uneventful.

Even Huang Yifan was a bit heartbroken. He blamed himself for overdoing it a bit. Although he didn’t put much effort into it, he still wasted about ten mid-grade spirit stones.

What a loss!

He had let his master down!

The amount of energy he had expended in these few encounters was greater than that of the past hundred and twenty peaceful years combined, which was quite frustrating.

At this time, Liang Sheng, seemingly understanding his feelings, didn’t say a word and directly handed Huang Yifan a hundred top-grade spirit stones.

The message was simple: if any troublemaker showed up, handle them with no qualms. The spirit stones were trivial and not worth minding.

Indeed, this generous behavior eased Huang Yifan’s worries. His eyes hardened, ready to send any intruder directly to paradise.

Eventually, no one dared to obstruct Liang Sheng and his servant. After they returned to the Liang residence, Liang Sheng immediately activated the Residence Protection Array.

The power of this array was stronger than the Mountain Protection Formation of the Dan Ding Sect. Even late-stage Nascent Soul masters couldn’t penetrate it.

Liang Sheng could indeed set up even stronger protection formations, but it wasn’t necessary at the time. Besides being a waste of spirit stones, Liang Sheng didn’t really need it considering his strength.

If a Divinity Transformation Expert dared to invade the Liang residence, Liang Sheng would consign him to paradise, hoping that if he is reincarnated, he would be less reckless in his next life.

Afterward, the chaos in the Immortal City grew more and more intense. Unable to keep sitting on the fence, the Church of All Beings started showing up in the background, hoping to restore order.

However, with even the lowest ranking cultivators involved in the bloody rampage at the sight of others’ gains, they have also been misled and started fighting for resources.

In response, the Church of All Beings turned a blind eye, regardless of the group, anyone who disturbed the order of Immortal City and participated in the chaos was to be utterly suppressed.

Under such circumstances, Liang Sheng stood aloof, shaking his head helplessly at the state of affairs.

It turns out the Church of All Beings are idealists after all. Their current behavior is likely to cost them their base.

The purpose of the existence of the Church of All Beings is to defend the interests of the lower-class cultivators; they serve all beings in line with their doctrine of “Every man a dragon”.

But with the mindsets of the lower-class cultivators altered due to scarce resources, the significance of the Church’s existence is in question.

As soon as they started suppressing the low-class cultivators, inconsistencies in their laws emerged, revealing that the internal system of the Church was falling apart.

Otherwise, it’s impossible to have inconsistent sentencing scales for the same offense.

The cultivation families under the City Lord’s administration proved to be patient, plotting their moves for over a hundred years, and their efforts finally paid off today.

This could only mean that the people of the Church of All Beings were too idealistic. They had overestimated human nature, assuming everyone would be content with equal cultivation.

If the Church of All Beings had suppressed all the powers under the City Lord Mansion when Zhen Yuan went missing, the current crisis would have been averted.

But the Church could not make that decision back then, because doing so would require suppressing all those high-ranking cultivation families, regardless of whether any of their members held positions in the City Lord’s mansion.

Then they would have to disband these cultivation families and distribute their resources. Although the situation would have been dire, there would be no such hidden trouble now.

At present, the cultivation families’ blatant scheme which they have been harboring for a hundred years is likely to be causing disagreements within the Church of All Beings.

After over a hundred years of privileged life, those once-high idealists might be slowly changing due to entangled causes and effects.

This sign has been apparent for a long time. Initially, when Zhen Yuan City was established, the cultivation families probably didn’t appear immediately and command from on high.

One could only say that those who slayed the evil dragons couldn’t hold their bottom line in the end and became the evil dragons they loathed.

Although some members of the Church of All Beings still adhere to their principles, maintaining the same determination, they are no longer the mainstream..
