Kill a chicken to scare the monkey_1 Chapter 712: 303: This is my territory, I am in charge!
Kill a chicken to scare the monkey_1 After receiving the warning message from Su Yanyan, Chen Dengming immediately assembled Guan Chao and some executives, ordered the cultivators and disciples gathered around the island to be dispersed, whilst also paying strict attention to order control, and dealing with the situation in a low-profile manner.
He had already anticipated that such a spread of the cultivator crowd would inevitably cause panic amongst some individuals.
If they didn’t enforce strong order control, the situation could spiral out of control.
Immediately, cultivators who had come to the island to watch the excitement were expelled back to the city, as many discussions took place, causing fear and unease.
In Evergreen City on the island, some uninformed Loose Cultivators ascended to the sky and passionately debated about the situation.
...
Several Foundation Establishment cultivators released their Divine Sense to observe the situation.
Gradually more people were awakened from their cultivation or sleep and walked out of the buildings, their expressions changed from puzzlement to fear.
Large groups of the Longevity Sect patrol team had already flown to every street corner of Immortal City under the leadership of many Foundation Establishment executives to maintain order.
The authority of the Longevity Sect evidently resonated in people’s hearts.
The commotion in the crowd was temporarily suppressed, but disputes were escalating in some areas.
Chen Dengming flew to the vicinity of the city wall and frowned at several areas where disputes were occurring.
He asked coldly, “What’s happening here?”
Qin Jingtao, who was in charge of Immortal City, immediately approached Chen Dengming, glanced at his bald head, and quickly lowered his head again, explaining with sweat on his forehead, “Your Highness, some cultivators of other sects who came to visit Evergreen City, along with some powerful Loose Cultivators are causing trouble.
They are not willing to stay in the city and demand to leave.”
Chen Dengming’s face looked as hard as iron.
At this critical time he didn’t put up the friendly image he usually had.
What’s more, the person just dared to look at his bald head and held back, thinking he didn’t notice?
This was blatant disrespect.
He said coldly, “Can you handle it?
If you can’t, you’re relieved of your duty and I’ll take over.”
Qin Jingtao began to sweat profusely.
He knew that this was the final ultimatum from His Highness.
The previous mistake hadn’t been solved yet, but he could still hold his current position.
If he couldn’t solve it now, then he might not be able to keep his position as the executive in charge of Immortal City.
“Yes, yes!
I’ll go handle it right now.”
Qin Jingtao had no choice but to agree and flew off the city wall to handle the situation personally.
Chen Dengming turned to look at the calm sea in the distance and always had a bad feeling in his heart.
If the source of the demonic power could infect the powerful Golden Core Sea Demon in the ocean, would there also be a threat to the Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators?
“Senior Sister, you should go back to the Sect first.
Take Jing’er and Xiaoxue with you.”
Chen Dengming looked at He Yingyu beside him, speaking with a serious expression.
Upon hearing Chen Dengming’s words, He Yingyu’s face changed.
She realized that Chen Dengming was considering the worst-case scenario, but as a Great Cultivator in the Golden Core stage, she could keep calm.
She nodded immediately and flew away from the city wall.
Chen Dengming touched his bald head and felt a bit depressed.
This bald image really affected his prestige as a Taoist.
He thought, others might even laugh when they saw him.
But to make his hair grow out was also a simple matter.
Chen Dengming used a little bit of his cultivation and channeled the vitality within his body up to his head.
He immediately felt a tingling, itchy feeling coming from the top of his head.
Very quickly, as though grass was growing, he sprouted a lot of hair on his scalp and it gradually lengthened.
Dozens of breaths later.
Chen Dengming once again had a beautiful head full of black hair.
This newly-grown hair was soft and shiny.
Chen Dengming pulled at his black temples and looked at his hair, and then withdrew some vitality.
Instantly, his black hair at the temples turned white, giving him a more mature and steady charm.
Chen Dengming nodded slightly.
Only then did he feel he once again had a good image.
He looked up into the distance.
He saw that the trouble areas in the city had not stopped yet, and after Qin Jingtao’s fruitless persuasion, he began to organize the Sect’s cultivators to prepare for forcible suppression.
This made Chen Dengming frown.
He could empathize with the fear of the cultivators in the city as he had also been a Loose Cultivator in the past.
Who wouldn’t be terrified when a large-scale fight broke out between cultivators in the Gathered Promenade, and when a tide of Demonic Beasts erupted in the Brocade Mill?
And that’s not to mention the situation now.
However, the situation now was somewhat off, it seemed like someone was deliberately stirring up trouble.
Moreover, Qin Jingtao’s handling of the situation made it clear that he had reached the end of his tenure.
As the executive in charge of Immortal City, if at this junction, he couldn’t persuade them and had to use force, it meant that his own authority was insufficient.
Otherwise, he would have been able to control the situation by now.
If he resorted to force now, even if he managed to suppress the situation, it would still damage the Longevity Sect’s credibility.

For a long time afterwards, it was likely that cultivators from other Sects would no longer come to Evergreen City.
This was an absolute last resort.
Chen Dengming sighed inside, looked at Gongshu Zai and other Elders who were busily opening the City’s Defense Formation, and immediately flew towards the trouble areas.
…
“Why won’t you let us leave?
We are disciples of Silver Fox Island.
We just came to Evergreen City for procurement, and now you are keeping us in the city.
Why do you have the right to do so?”
Inside the city, the cultivators were making a racket, and among the crowd, some cultivators wearing uniform robes shouted angrily.
“Exactly, we have the right to come and go.
Why won’t you let us leave?”
“The Longevity Sect is an outsider force here.
How dare you be so aggressive and domineering!
I am a direct disciple of the Sunset Sect.
You have no right to restrict us from leaving freely.”
Many other cultivators joined the protest seeing the situation.
