These were originally vice sect leaders of these sects and the like, but under the oppressive power of the court, they had no choice but to choose their own paths, and so all surrendered.
They have now been reorganized into the city defense army of Huangzhou Prefecture, with Zhao Ya as the chief commander and Chen Jie as the vice commander.
If it were before, when Chen Jie was still in the Holding Core Realm, he definitely couldn't have suppressed these people. But now that Chen Jie is in the Wolf Smoke Realm, he can manage them.
It is said: Money crushes slaves, skills dominate practitioners, and for a Martial Artist, to conquer them is actually very simple; you just need to be stronger than them.
Chen Jie and Zhao Ya's strengths are more than enough to subdue them, so they can't cause much trouble. Additionally, Chen Jie assigned Xiao Hu, who had broken through to the Wolf Smoke Realm, over to take the role of a Hundred Households for one of the teams.
