If nothing else, the city lord had a lot of spirit stones given to him by the undead. The high-level spirit stones were given to Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize, but the middle-level and low-level spirit stones could be exchanged for a lot of wealth, which could easily compensate those who left.
After realizing the resolute attitude of the city lord on the matter of transforming the city, the city residents who were unwilling to accept living in the same city as the undead had to pack their bags and prepare to leave.
They really couldn't imagine what a terrifying sight it would be for the city to be filled with undead. Just thinking about it would make one's hair horrified and hairy on the back.
Fortunately, walking at night will not be attacked by the undead, and some people simply left overnight.
In just one day on the ninth day, the entire Ping'An City was half empty. But it was also from this day that people from other cities moved to Ping'An City sporadically. Those who move in first could choose to rent a vacant house first, and they could live with a simple arrangement.
In the chaos, except for the city lord's personal guards, no one noticed that some people disappeared forever.
Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian arranged for detailed registration of all those who left, who moved in, and those who stayed.
This round of migration had been lively for two days. On the tenth night, everyone who wanted to leave had left. Only a small part of the city residents were left in Ping'An city. After several rounds of registration by the defense team, this small half of the city residents and dozens of newcomers decided to stay in Ping'An City and try it out.
After the night fell on the tenth day, each family did not rest, but lit countless candles in the courtyard, and placed all kinds of food. The family gathered together, looked at the sky east of the city, and waited quietly.
Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian were standing at the top of Ping'An city with Feng Konghao. They had already seen that more and more undead were slowly approaching the city that had not opened the city's defense and spiritual defense.
At this time, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian were inevitably a little nervous. Although the experience of the past two days had proved that the higher undead had issued an order to prohibit attacking humans, tonight was the first day of the coexistence plan between humans and the undead that they promoted. The result was unknown, they were naturally nervous.
The three high-level undead that Cheng Huaiqian had previously subdued had all been released, but only one was a former Ping'An city resident who floated toward the courtyard before his death.
All the people who poured into Ping'An City tonight were all the undead that were formed after the death of the people of Ping'An City.
More than 30,000 city residents who stayed in Ping'An city witnessed this scene with their own eyes. The undead entered the city, but there was no fierce battle between humans and the undead.
Under the moonlight, countless black shadows poured into the city, spread out, and drifted randomly around some courtyards.
On the other side, in the face of the undead who entered the city, humans did not attack or escape, but just watched silently.
Even some old residents of Ping'An City couldn't help crying when they saw the undead around their courtyards and realized that they were just floating around and didn't mean to hurt anyone.
According to the truth disclosed by the city lord, these undead were their dead relatives. They couldn't help grief at the thought of how many undead of their relatives were killed by humans because they wanted to go home and rush to the front.
Fortunately, the truth was announced, and these relatives were able to return to them smoothly.
"Cough, what if one day, humans can't help being greedy and confront the undead again? Isn't everything you do today a waste of effort?"
The sick Feng Konghao was a little weak, but he still insisted on standing at the highest point of Ping'An City to witness this scene with his own eyes. The great revenge had been avenged. Now he was much more relaxed, and he only had the wish to wait for the return of his relatives. He asked Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian next to him in a calm tone.
"As long as humans rely on spirit stones to become stronger, the possibility of returning to their previous state is still very high, but at least it will be a generation or two later.
But what does that matter? History always repeats itself, and now we do what we want and can do, and we just need to have a clear conscience.
Besides, in another two or three hundred years, maybe someone will discover the truth again, and strive to make the truth known to the world."
Xia Ruize smiled and answered indifferently.
Human beings would oppose the undead once because of greed, and it was possible to oppose the undead a second time because of greed, so what? They just did what they wanted to do.
At least in this time period in this mission world, they disclosed a long-buried historical truth, and really contributed to the peaceful coexistence of human beings and the undead. This was what they wanted to do, they did it, and that was enough.
To put it bluntly, after the mission time limit had passed, who cared about later?
If Ping'An City wanted to continue to operate, it would definitely encounter various problems, but that was all the city lord's business.
The city lord looked at the two people next to him. They were not wearing the cloaks they had when they first met, and their faces were not blocked by the hoods. Since the establishment of the cooperative relationship, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian had completely taken off their disguise and only focused on planning and promoting the process.
Looking at these two people younger than him, the city lord was in a good mood, young men were still motivated. They even turned his plan into a completely different direction, which was terrifying.
The three stood at the highest point of the city and observed for more than an hour. The whole city was still calm, and Feng Konghao decided to go back to rest. He had turned off the spirit shield of the City Lord's Mansion, and now he only hoped that the undead of his family could remember the way home sooner and come back smoothly.
Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize had been busy day and night for the past few days, and they had long been exhausted. At this time, seeing that everything in the city was normal, they also accepted Feng Konghao's invitation and went back to the guest room of the City Lord's Mansion to rest together.
Interestingly, a courtyard near the city lord's mansion they passed by was the home of the newly promoted undead king. As the undead king, he could communicate with his family. At this time, he was sitting at the front of the courtyard, testing the teachings of his descendants one by one.
The head of this family was the captain of the defense team. No matter how prestige had outside, he could only sit down and respect the undead king as grandfather, because this undead king was his grandfather who passed away for 21 years.
Under the moonlight, the figure of the Undead King was very similar to that before his death. He was tall and mighty, but his voice was very kind, which made the captain of the defense team feel emotional.
When he was young, his martial arts were taught by his grandfather. When he grew up, he was separated from his grandfather. Who would have thought that after more than 20 years, he would see his grandfather again?
As for the father of the defense team captain, the old man who was now in his sixties was crying bitterly while hugging his father's undead leg.
"My son doesn't have to cry; death is not the end. When you die, you may continue to advance through good luck, and you may be reunited with your family. Hey, that undead is your mother, and that is your younger sister who died when you were young. I think you should return. There are other people's undead, but it will take a while to return."
The Undead King touched his son's gray-haired head with his hand and comforted him. After becoming an undead and floating for decades, he really looked down on life and death. Anyway, he would become an undead after death. Although the probability was small, it was still possible to recover the memory and become wise, what was so scary about death?
The Undead King casually pointed to a few undead who had not recovered their sanity, but instinctively floated around the courtyard, and introduced them to everyone with great interest. As the undead, he could perceive the difference between these undead, and could distinguish the undead of the relatives who were familiar before birth.
The great-great-grandson, who was only four years old, was too young. In just two days, he still could not understand why the undead, who was once regarded as an enemy, had become a relative. Looking at the dark undead floating around, he was afraid that he could not help but fall into the arms of his mother and let out a loud voice, bursting into tears.
His mother looked at the condemning eyes of the relatives around her, and embarrassedly picked up her son and returned to the room to comfort him.
The Undead King was not disappointed. To be honest, being able to talk to his former relatives peacefully had far exceeded his previous expectations. He was only promoted to Undead King this year, and he immediately learned of the transaction between the lord of Ping'An City and the Undead. It had always been very contradictory.
Fortunately, the city lord of Ping'An City changed his plan, his contradictions were easily resolved, and he was very satisfied.
Besides, the older great-grandsons in the family had already accepted the truth and stood quietly in the courtyard waiting for him to take the test. Thinking that the situation of the undead in Ping'An City would get better and better in the future, he was in a good mood, but hehe.
Feng Konghao and Xia Ruize, Cheng Huaiqian, who were passing by, saw the scene in the Undead King's house.
After returning to the City Lord's Mansion, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian checked into the guest room in the outer courtyard, and fell asleep quickly from exhaustion. Feng Konghao was lying on the reclining chair in the center of the inner courtyard, looking at the constantly turning mourning flags, there was no fear in his heart, only expectation, patiently waiting for the return of his wife and children.
After dawn on the eleventh day of the mission, all the evil spirits below the high level in Ping'An City were gone. They were inconvenient to be active during the day, and had already hide in the sea of evil before dawn.
There were only some high-level evil spirits in the city, and even higher evil spirits, and they could move freely during the day.
The familiar townspeople walked out of the house and exchanged their feelings about the previous night, but it was a pity. Except for the high-level evil spirits that could vaguely interact with humans, the low-level evil spirits and the middle-level evil spirits would only keep wandering around their former homes, unable to give their families more reactions.
However, what reassured everyone was that the undead really did not attack humans. As long as those floating shadows were ignored, it seemed that there was not much difference from the previous life.
Unlike ordinary townspeople, who were mostly chatting, the most complicated were those spirit-hunting warriors who stayed in Ping'An City. They never thought that one day they would live in peace with the undead.
The spirit-hunting warriors gathered at the Guitu Tavern, drinking glass after glass in a dull atmosphere. The current situation made them overwhelmed, but they didn't want to leave Ping'An City for the time being, but seeing the undead appearing around their courtyard, their mood was really complicated, and they didn't know what else to do except get drunk.
At this time, in the city lord's mansion, the city lord was receiving visitors from the deep sea.
Several undead kings and undead emperors who were not natives of Ping'An City during their lifetime wanted to come to Ping'An City during the day to experience human life.
They had been undead for a long time. When they were promoted to high-level undead, their former relatives had already turned into undead. In addition, humans were opposed to the undead at that time. After returning to their former homeland for a few times, they stayed on the seabed and did not go out of the sea.
