"Fangshi has been a bit chaotic recently. What's going on?"

Xu Mu called over the guard leader responsible for order in the city and asked calmly.

The guard leader's name is Lu Lang. He is a middle-aged man with a strong build and a powerful appearance. His cultivation level is at the seventh level of Qi training.

However, with his powerful aura, he could only be trembling when facing Xu Mu. Xu Mu's move to kill Chi Shouyuan with a slap really frightened many people.

"Back to my ancestors! The number of criminals in Fang City has increased suddenly for some unknown reason recently. My subordinates are really incompetent!"

Lu Lang lowered his head and did not dare to look at Xu Mu.

Although he said he was incompetent, there was a hint of complaint in his words.

Because it was because of Xu Mu that Chi Feiyan carried out a large-scale purge of the family.

There were not many people in the two families to begin with, and after the purge, they were even more stretched thin. Facing the huge market, they simply couldn't manage it.

Xu Mu took a sip of tea before speaking again: "Go and summon everyone in the family!"

Lu Lang was confused. He didn't understand what Xu Mu wanted to do. Did he also want to recruit people from other places?

Now that there is a shortage of people in all the family positions, if people are recruited from other places, wouldn't it be possible to tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall? What's the use?

However, he didn't dare to ask or give any advice. He just nodded in agreement and then went down to summon everyone.

About an hour passed, and all the main members of the family were summoned, a total of 121 people, standing neatly in the training ground.

This training ground is used for cultivators to practice spells, and is occasionally used to hold family meetings. It is quite spacious and can easily accommodate even four to five hundred people.

Xu Mu was so powerful that there was no one who dared not be short-sighted.

"I think you all already know my name. I won't talk nonsense anymore. From today on, my words will be the rules!" Xu Mu scanned it with his mind and said.

His voice was not loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.

There was a slight commotion in the scene, but it quickly calmed down. Xu Mu's evil intentions were so serious that even Chi Shouyuan dared to defeat him, and they didn't want to provoke him.

This is why those big shots like to kill chickens to scare monkeys, because it really works.

If he hadn't abolished Chi Shouyuan as a foreshadowing, if he said something like this now, there would probably be bold people who would stand up and refute him.

There are many brave people in this world, but few are not afraid of death.

No fool would stand up and object even when he knew he was going to die.

But Xu Mu's next words were really exciting. Even though they knew they couldn't afford to offend him, some people still stood up angrily.

Xu Mu’s words are, change your surname!

From today on, all members of the Xu family will change their surname to Xu!

Changing a name is easy, but changing a surname was a big deal even in the previous life, and it is even more unusual in this world. Xu Mu wants to completely cut off the relationship between the two families, which is really more uncomfortable than killing them.

"Ancestor can kill me! It's absolutely impossible for me to change my surname!"

"And me!"

"If Master Chi knew about it, he would definitely not agree!"

Suddenly, seven or eight people stood up on the field. They were all in the late stages of Qi training, including the guard captain Lu Lang, and they were all filled with righteous indignation.

Although these people temporarily succumbed to Xu Mu's strength, they only regarded this submission as vassals. If there is a chance in the future, they can re-establish their family and go out independently.

But if you change all your surnames, you will be completely assimilated within two generations.

In addition to insisting on their own bloodline, they also had a bit of luck, thinking that Xu Mu would take back his life.

There are not many people in the family to begin with, and there are only a few in the later stage of Qi refining. If a few of them are lost, it will be completely paralyzed.

"Is there anyone else who objects?"

Xu Mu's voice was still calm.

No one spoke.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you!"

After saying this, forty or fifty people stood up and cheered. Now the first few people who stood up were more courageous and dared to look directly at Xu Mu.

The law does not punish the public. Unless Xu Mu wants to start from scratch, he can only give up the idea of ​​letting them change their surnames.

If they are forcibly expelled, not only will the newly established Xu family be destroyed, but the entire city will also be in chaos.

Several people felt a sense of excitement as a winner inexplicably.

Aren’t you very powerful?

No, you still have to surrender to us!

"Is there any more? The last time." Xu Mu asked still calmly.

More than a dozen people stood up.

There were only a few twenty or thirty people still standing there, and their expressions were still a bit hesitant.

Xu Mu stood up, glanced around, and said: "Anyone who stands up and leaves the Xu family with your family, you will no longer be a member of the Xu family, and you will not have the opportunity to become a member of the Xu family in the future.

.”

Xu Mu looked calm throughout, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

But falling into the ears of a group of people is tantamount to turning the world upside down.

"Ancestor, are you kidding me?" Lu Lang said with a stiff expression.

If they all leave, will the Xu family still run? Will the city still be managed?

"I should have made it very clear. I will give you a quarter of an hour. If you are still there, I will kill them all as intruders."

Xu Mu's voice was calm, but everyone's hearts froze when they heard it.

The leading people struggled for a moment, then gritted their teeth and turned to leave.

They never expected that Xu Mu would actually fight them to the death.

I would rather start all over again than give up the idea of ​​letting them change their surnames.

As the group of people left, Xu Mu opened the system to check and found that the luck value had only dropped by more than thirty points, which was not as exaggerated as imagined.

It's normal when you think about it. After all, population is only one factor, and these people are not his direct bloodline. If they don't hold various positions, they may be even lower.

Xu Mu looked at the only late Qi practitioner left in the crowd.

A middle-aged man with slightly dark skin who looked like an old farmer.

"What's your name?" Xu Mu asked.

"Subordinate Chimu!"

Chi Mu replied blankly.

"Why don't you go with them?" Xu Mu asked curiously.

In such a large family, those who can advance to the later stage of Qi training are generally direct relatives. Even if they are not originally, they will become direct relatives through marriage and other means, otherwise there will be no waste of resources in training.

This kind of people naturally take their family very seriously. It is normal for them to express opposition. It would be strange not to do so.

"Miss, let me listen to my ancestor! Whatever my ancestor says is whatever he says!" Chi Mu said.

"Oh? That's it!"

It seems that Chi Feiyan still has a few loyal subordinates.

Except for Chi Mu, the remaining dozens of people are probably in a similar situation.

There are so few people who are die-hard loyalists. It's not that Chi Feiyan is incompetent, but that most of the loyal people have been scattered by her to sell elixirs, leaving only such a small number.

"In that case! Chi Mu, starting from today, I will appoint you as the guard leader, responsible for managing all guard members and maintaining the safety and order of Fang City!"

"I'm stupid! I'm afraid I'm not up to the task!" Chi Mu said honestly.

"Well?"

Xu Mu was a little surprised that there were still people who refused such a good thing.

After his physical training, he could mentally sense the emotions of ordinary cultivators. Today, this ability is even more powerful. He vaguely sensed that Chi Mu was not being arrogant, but really felt that he was stupid and incompetent.

He seems to be an honest person.

But it seems like he has no choice now. He can't do it himself.

"It doesn't matter! You just need to follow the rules. If it doesn't work, I will change it!"

"I obey my orders!"

Chi Mu nodded in agreement.

Xu Mu looked at another person, a young woman in the team. In his emotional perception, the rest of the people's thoughts were somewhat fluctuating. Only she and Chi Mu were consistent.

He seemed to have some impression of this woman.

Frowning in thought, he quickly thought about it.

She was a maid from Chi Feiyan, whom he had met several times when they had a private meeting.

It seems to be called Qingmei!
