720: Chapter 480 720: Chapter 480 Ye Shi had the members of each team escorted to the dungeon at the General’s Mansion one by one.
Those Government Officials were also sent to the dungeon.
Lai Jianlin looked at the chains binding them; the ordinary workers attached the chains to them, allowing them to continue their labor.
These were merely ordinary people, and they watched as their chains were unlocked by a single spell from the other party.
In their hearts, they felt that the immortals had punished the wicked and now the immortals had come to their rescue.
They didn’t dare to be afraid anymore and kneeled on the ground to express their gratitude.
Lai Jianlin told them not to fear and to continue with the construction work there.
Luo Yaxuan had his followers recruit more workers for the construction and tasked some to chop down the trees in the forest.
These trees, once dried, could be used for building houses.
Jiang Tang received Luo Yaxuan’s message and didn’t think about wandering around; he trusted that Luo Yaxuan and Lai Jianlin could handle the situation there.
Plus, there were people from the General’s Mansion supporting them.
Jiang Tang didn’t use the help of the Top Ten Clans, feeling that such a small matter was not worth the mobilization of forces.
At this moment, he had already flown arrows, bringing along nine women with him, arriving at the Southern Sea.
The sea in the Southern Sea would freeze over at times and then become scalding hot, whipping up massive waves.
No ships could sail through it.
The passersby all dared not traverse this area, and the fishermen were too frightened to go out to sea.
Jiang Tang observed the entire Southern Sea from above and saw that no cultivators were flying over, perhaps fearing the influence of the cultivators who were still battling beneath the sea.
He seemed to hear the cries of the fishermen by the sea, crying out to the heavens and the earth and worshiping at the altars, hoping that the Sea Goddess and the Dragon King would no longer punish them.
Unable to fish, unable to make a living by fishing cut off their lifeline.
Jiang Tang frowned, thinking that commoners already had the most difficult of human life to endure.
Although he wasn’t a messiah, he didn’t want to make life difficult for the fishermen because of someone else.
If he could help, he would!
The women at his side also heard the cries of the pitiful people and saw them wearing such torn clothing, their bodies thin and frail with hunger, their appearance sickly.
The girls were all soft-hearted, chattering that neither the Dragon King’s team fighting beneath the sea nor those Great Power Holders should keep on fighting.
Giving money to these people would not be a long-term solution; if they got money and no longer wanted to fish, they might become lazy and unwilling to work, waiting for “gold to fall from the sky.” This was not the outcome he wished for as a benevolent person.
Instead, there was so much grain accumulated in his space that he could share some with the fishermen who couldn’t go fishing and couldn’t afford snacks.
Jiang Tang asked the women by his side to stop the noise; he had his arrangements.
The beauties all knew that Jiang Tang certainly had his own secrets.
They were polishing their eyes, curious to see how Jiang Tang would save these people.
They saw Jiang Tang pull out a Storage Bag and distribute bags and bags of grain to every fishing village along the Southern Sea coast.
And even some islands with inhabitants received grain distributions.
The fishermen, who were in the midst of worshipping, saw so much grain suddenly fall from the sky before them.
They knelt down even more fervently to the Heavenly God, thanking him for saving them.
The beauties all covered their mouths and snickered; where was Jiang Tang any kind of Heavenly God?
Jiang Tang was laughed at by the beauties, yet he nodded in good spirits.
If he could become a Heavenly God, he indeed could bless them all.
Even though he had not yet become a Heavenly God at this moment, he was still able to help them.
“Jiang Tang, you’ve distributed grain to them, but that’s not a sustainable solution.
You need to restore the sea to its original state, so those people stop fighting,” said Xuanyuan Mengting.
Her words made sense to some of the beauties, while others thought that with the sea in this state, not even immortals could restore it.
The fish in the sea don’t just reappear on command; even if the cultivators and Dragon team stopped their magic battle, it could take several months or even years for the sea to return to its original state.
What would the fishermen eat during those months?
The fishermen near the shore didn’t have much farmland to cultivate.
As the saying goes, “Lean on the mountain, you eat from the mountain; rely on the sea, you feast on seafood.”
Jiang Tang agreed with the beauties.
While others might find it difficult to restore the sea, he could do it in no time.
First, he had to stop the Great Powers and the Dragon King’s team from fighting.
Jiang Tang did not use the flying arrows to go under the sea again.
Instead, he released the Magical Treasure from the Hell Palace, capturing both Dragon Kings and their teams inside.
Although the Hell Palace Magical Treasure was an Immortal Treasure, it wasn’t so easy to just capture the Immortal Dragon Kings inside.
Jiang Tang used the Buddhist Law’s binding spell to immobilize the Dragon King’s team, sending them directly into the Hell Palace Magical Treasure.
As they were practicing their Dao Arts, they hadn’t even realized what was happening, let alone why Jiang Tang put them into the Hell Palace.
When they were imprisoned, they were startled to find themselves in a strange place.
They saw that the sky here was red, and the moon looked odd, as if it were the sun.
The ground was gray, and there were rivers here.
In this place, there were also many spirits and Demonic Beasts.
They could sense that living beings, humans, and ghostly entities were dwelling in this place as if it were a prison.
The Great Power Holders still battling outside in the sea, they fought against the Dragon King’s team because they were not as skilled in control as the Dragon Kings.
Even with greater numbers, they couldn’t win; after battling for several days, they too were tired, but they didn’t want to let off those arrogant Dragon Kings.
The East Sea Dragon King provoked them every day with words, taunting that so many of them couldn’t defeat his team after several days of fighting!
