Ping An City.

Among the 123 small cities under the ten major cities, it ranks last, 123rd.

This has a lot to do with the simple folk customs here and their dislike of fighting.

Of course, the most important thing is the city lord of Ping An City.

It is rumored that a long time ago, Ping An City was not as peaceful and tranquil as it is now. Its name was not "Ping An City" but "Blood City". Before achieving artistic conception, the city lord of Blood City was an executioner who was responsible for beheading the offenders in the city. Later, he became the city lord, and there was constant fighting in the city, and the people could not have peace.

Among them, a young man's parents were killed in this chaotic city. This young man endured humiliation and finally rose in this city. He cultivated artistic conception and killed the city lord of that year in anger.

After killing this city lord, this young man became the new generation of city lord.

After becoming the city lord, the only order he issued was to prohibit all fighting in the city. Anyone who violated it would be expelled from the city for minor violations and beheaded directly for serious violations.

At the same time, Bloodthirst City was renamed "Ping'an City".

From then on, Ping'an City became the most peaceful and harmonious city among the 123 small cities. Anyone who yearned for peace and disliked fighting would go to Ping'an City, and the city lord of Ping'an City would accept them all.

As the number of people increased, Ping'an City naturally could not accommodate them, so Ping'an City began to expand.

Even now, the area of ​​Ping'an City is almost the same as that of the ten major cities.

However, because of the order of the city lord, Ping'an City prohibited fighting, so there was no soldier in the entire city. With such combat power, it naturally ranked at the bottom of the 123 small cities.

However, because it is peaceful and harmonious here, no one will worry about his affairs, so the agriculture and commerce here are very developed.

Food, various cloths, ceramics... and so on, Ping'an City is second to none among many cities. It can be said that Ping'an City is the richest city on the entire Fallen Immortal Island.

Even those main cities, although their combat power far exceeds that of Ping An City, are far less wealthy than Ping An City.

Although Ping An City is rich as a whole, it has a large population, and no one can live a very luxurious life. However, there are no beggars in Ping An City. Although everyone's life is not luxurious, it is considered rich. This is basically impossible in other cities.

Logically speaking, how can the people in those big cities let go of such a fat sheep?

Among them, the city lords of other small cities attacked the people of Ping An City.

However, the city lord who took action was seriously injured and returned. In fact, if the city lord of Ping An City had not shown mercy, that person would have died.

After that, no one in many small cities dared to challenge the majesty of Ping An City.

But the small city did not dare, but the main city did.

You know, the main city dared, you know, the city lords of the main cities are all in the realm of Mingyi.

That day, among the ten main cities, the city lord of Feiye City, which ranked seventh, came with three elders in the early stage of Keyi to fight.

The Lord of Feiye City is a cultivator of the Mingyi realm, and is accompanied by three elders of the Quyi realm. Logically, this battle should have been a foregone conclusion.

Just when everyone thought that Ping'an City would fall into Feiye City from now on, something that they could not imagine happened.

The Lord of Ping'an City unexpectedly broke through to the Mingyi realm at some point, and even reached the peak of Mingyi. He defeated the Lord of Feiye City and the three elders alone.

Even the Lord of Ping'an City could have killed these four people that day, but he did not. He only cut off one arm of each of the four people as a punishment.

Since then, no one dared to attack Ping'an City.

It can be said that Ping'an City has been guarded by the Lord of the City alone until now.

"That's the thing. Our Lord of the City has a cultivation level that is absolutely unmatched!"

In Ping'an City, an old man was in a tavern, drinking and telling stories happily.

He was telling the story of Ping'an City, and the few people in front of him were all cultivators who were originally from other cities and had just entered the city.

Hearing this, these people showed excitement in their eyes. They came to Ping'an City because they yearned for peace. Hearing these words, they felt very safe.

At the table next to them, there was a young man in white clothes, about 23 years old, drinking alone. After hearing these words, his eyes changed slightly.

"Lord City Lord, you are really a good person. If it weren't for you, there would be no Ping'an City today..."

The old man finally sighed.

At this moment, the shopkeeper of the tavern came over and said angrily: "Old man Zhao, although we in Ping'an City are not allowed to use force privately, we also don't allow rogue things to happen. You owe my tavern fifty taels of silver. When will you pay the bill?"

"Isn't it just fifty taels of silver? No problem, no problem..."

The old man smiled, turned around, and was about to run.

"Stop!"

The shopkeeper rushed over and grabbed the old man.

"You, what, do you want to hit someone?"

The old man immediately straightened his back and shouted.

In Ping An City, no one dared to use force, because the only result of using force was expulsion from the city.

"Hit you? I'm not that stupid. I'll take you to the Judicial Hall and see what the adults in the hall will decide. Humph!"

As he spoke, two big men came out from the shopkeeper's side.

The two men didn't hit the old man, but directly carried him on the left and right and walked out.

"Don't, don't, let's talk it over, let's talk it over, I will pay next time, I will pay next time..."

The old man was immediately depressed when he heard about the Judicial Hall.

Although Ping'an City is peaceful and there is no fighting, there are some exceptions, some people who behave badly. For these people, the city lord has established a Judicial Hall. Once the Judicial Hall knows that this person's behavior is inappropriate, it will immediately perform its duties and expel this person from the city.

This old man has repeatedly failed to repay his debts, which has touched the bottom line of Ping'an City. Once he is sent to the Judicial Hall, he will inevitably be punished, and if he is not careful, he will be expelled from the city directly. Other cities outside are not as peaceful as Ping'an City. The old man knows what he will face when he goes out, and he is really scared at this moment.

"You old thing who cheats for food and drink, I have tolerated you for a long time. Today, I want the Judicial Hall to make a decision on everything!"

The shopkeeper became more and more excited, and more and more people in the tavern and outside the door watched.

At this moment, a voice sounded in everyone's ears:

"Shopkeeper, I paid for the old man's wine!"

The person who spoke was Chu Yan, his face was calm.

"You pay?"

The shopkeeper looked at Chu Yan, puzzled.

The old man was puzzled at first, but then he said with great gratitude: "Thank you, little brother, thank you!"

"I saved you, but I can't save you in vain. In the future, you have to work in my tavern to repay the debt!"

Chu Yan looked at the old man and said lightly.

"Of course, of course!"

The old man smiled immediately. As long as he was not expelled from the city, he was willing to accept it. But then, he asked with a puzzled face: "This young man, has he opened a tavern too?"

"There was no one before, but there will be one soon!"

Chu Yan said lightly, then looked at the shopkeeper and said: "Shopkeeper, are you willing to sell this tavern?"

"This..."

The shopkeeper was stunned, and for a while he was a little unrecoverable.

"One hundred taels, is it enough?"

Chu Yan took out a silver note and said.

"One hundred taels?"

The shopkeeper was almost knocked unconscious by happiness. His tavern was located in a remote place and was very small. The business was not good at all. Otherwise, he would not be so angry because the old man owed him three wine bills.

One hundred taels, it was too much.

"Two hundred taels?"

Chu Yan said calmly, and took out another silver note.

The shopkeeper began to swallow his saliva.

"Five hundred taels?"

Chu Yan said calmly, and five silver notes appeared in his hand and shook them in front of the shopkeeper.

This money was naturally taken from Bai Shuimiao. As the lord of a city, Bai Shuimiao was wealthy. He could take as many silver notes as he wanted from ordinary people.

"Deal!"

The shopkeeper snatched the silver note from Chu Yan's hand and ran out immediately, fearing Chu Yan's regretful look.

"Shopkeeper, can you pay for the old man's wine?"

"No need, forget it!"

"Your personal belongings?"

"All belong to you!"

"These people..."

"Keep them!"

When Chu Yan wanted to speak again, the shopkeeper had already walked away.

He was originally a lonely man, and today he was afraid that Chu Yan would go back on his word. These things were not worth much, so the shopkeeper left directly.

This tavern was not even worth a hundred taels. The onlookers all looked at Chu Yan with a look of "you are a sucker" and then dispersed.

The two big men who had just sandwiched the old man were not from this tavern, but were hired by the shopkeeper to take the old man away. At this moment, the two men left one after another.

But at this moment, a fat man with a round body came out from the back kitchen, holding a big spoon in his hand.

Obviously, he was the cook of this tavern.

Two more people ran out from the back, one was short and strong with dark skin. Chu Yan asked and found out that he was responsible for doing odd jobs in the tavern, such as fetching water and chopping wood.

There was also a thin young man of moderate height who looked very excited. He had a rag on his shoulder. Needless to say, he was the waiter.
