Fortunately, the sects in Small Celestial Domain were able to squeeze out a lot of resources, and they even chose disciples from different cities to replenish their blood. To these cities, this was considered pretty good.
Therefore, no matter which sect these cities belonged to, if they lived a slightly better life, it wouldn't affect the lives of ordinary warriors. It wouldn't affect the survival of these cities.
In this kind of sect confrontation, the rule of maintaining peace and stability below would at least not cause the people to be plunged into misery and suffering. Which sect wanted benefits? They would fight by themselves and not order ordinary martial artists to send themselves to their deaths. This custom was truly not bad.
It was precisely because of this that Su Ze wanted to stay and take a look when he heard that the people from the Lianshan Sect had arrived.
What was the situation of a sect that belonged to the top ruler of Small Celestial Domain?
They had been beating the gongs and beating the drums to promote the sect for a day. As expected, every single family in Silver City obediently dealt with and buried the filth.
The next morning, the martial artists were all waiting eagerly.
The new city lord, Chen Yunlong, also began to wait with the Martial Cultivator of Body Leaving Stage. Although they knew that the experts of Lianshan Sect would not arrive before noon, they still waited from Chen Shi.
Four hours later, when noon was about to pass, a huge ship that was 30 meters long with a golden canvas on it flew through the clouds and slowly landed on the ground.
"Warriors of Silver City, greet the masters of Lianshan Sect!"
Chen Yunlong led the way and knelt down. The rest of the warriors followed suit and greeted him.
The cabin door of the ship opened and a man walked out with his hands behind his back. Behind him were ten disciples of the Lianshan Sect who wore green clothes and had mountains embroidered on their clothes.
The man swept his gaze left and right and asked, "Isn't the City Lord of Silver City Zhao Chengwu? Where is he? Why isn't he waiting here?"
"Reporting to the experts of Lianshan Sect, Zhao Chengwu has already died in the battle with the passing Martial Cultivator of Fusion Stage two days ago. I am Chen Yunlong, and I am temporarily in charge of all the affairs in Silver City."
"In other words, you are the current city lord of Silver City?" The man with his hands behind his back asked.
Chen Yunlong hurriedly lowered his head. "Although I am temporarily in charge of Silver City, I have yet to be recognized by the Lianshan Sect. How can I be considered the City Lord? I would like to request an expert to appoint me as the City Lord of Silver City. "
"Alright, you know the rules. I know that it's not whether you can become the City Lord or not, but whether the Lianshan Sect will let you become the City Lord or not." The man with his hands clasped behind his back nodded his head in satisfaction, "From today onwards, you will be the City Lord of Silver City."
"Yes! Many thanks to the great kindness of the Lianshan Sect. From today onwards, I will do my best, not daring to do anything personal! " Chen Yunlong said excitedly.
"Cut the useless nonsense," the man with his hands behind his back said, "Are all the young warriors for the sect's selection ready?"
"Reporting to Milord, they're all ready." Chen Yunlong waved his hand and called the young martial artists to come forward.
The man from the Lianshan Sect nodded. "All of you, get on the ship and wait. Once Silver City has moved all the cultivation resources that need to be handed over this year, we will return to the Lianshan Sect."
Those young warriors excitedly walked onto the ship. Chen Yunlong commanded his subordinates to move the essence of the cultivation resources that had been accumulated for a year onto the ship.
When his men started to get busy, Chen Yunlong came up to the man from the Lianshan Sect with a smile on his face. "How should I address you?"
"Wait here." The man from the Lianshan Sect said.
"Sir Vehicle, the delicious food and wine have been prepared. Would you like to enjoy them first?" Chen Yunlong asked carefully.
The man from the Lianshan Sect called Che Hou said, "No need."
"There are still a few spirit stones left. I spent a lot of gold, silver, and jewelry to exchange for them. I don't know, sir Che Hou..." Chen Yunlong said in a low voice.
Che Hou said impatiently, "Just give them to me directly. What are you afraid of?"
When Chen Yunlong ordered people to take out a wooden box, the carriage guard opened it and took a look. There were actually six spirit stones inside, and he finally revealed a look of joy.
"Good! You're being very considerate!"
Chen Yunlong quickly smiled apologetically. "No, no, it's all Sir Che Hou..."
As he spoke, che Hou frowned slightly and looked at a person wearing a bamboo hat not far away. That person was looking at me just now? What cultivation level does he have to make me feel something?
Just as he was about to ask who that person was, there was a commotion at the side of the ship.
The coach coldly snorted as he walked over. Chen Yunlong's heart sank even more. He hurriedly followed behind to investigate what exactly had happened.
A young man in tattered clothes was standing at the entrance of the ship, looking at the ship with a stubborn expression.
"What's going on?" The waiting officer asked in a cold voice.
When he asked this question, the surrounding people immediately knelt down and replied. However, the young man in tattered clothes didn't kneel down. Instead, he replied, "My ranking in the Lianshan Sect was taken away by someone. I should have gone to the Lianshan Sect!"
When Chen Yunlong heard this, his expression became surprised as well. He thought to himself, what's going on? Why didn't I know?
Che Hou frowned and said, "What's your name? Why did you say your ranking was taken away?"
The youth reported: "My name is Gan Jing, and I'm currently sixteen years old. I'm now at the second level of the Innate Stage. In the previous Silver City's martial arts competition, my ranking was at the top. No matter what, I can enter the Lianshan Sect."
"I didn't expect that I wouldn't be notified by City Lord's subordinates. I thought that something might have gone wrong somewhere, but only today did I know that I was going to the Lianshan Sect. I was completely abandoned..."
He said it all, but he wasn't clear about the logic behind it. However, che Hou, Chen Yunlong, and the others all understood what he meant.
"Hmm? What's going on?" Che Hou asked Chen Yunlong with dissatisfaction, "Zhao Chengwu never made such a mistake when he was the City Lord. Why did you replace your position when you became the City Lord?"
Chen Yunlong shook his head blankly. "Sir Che Hou, I did not know about this either. Please forgive me for investigating it."
Che Hou snorted and said, "Be quick!"
"Yes, sir Che Hou!" Chen Yunlong responded. He ordered people to settle down the young Gan Jing and started investigating.
After an hour, he got the result and returned to report to the Che Hou in a low voice.
"This was done by Zhao Chengwu and Soong Tianliang. It was Soong Tianliang's grandson, song Zude, who took Gan Jing's place and went to the Lianshan Sect. The matter of replacing Gan Jing's position had already been settled. We just need to find an opportunity to kill Gan Jing two days ago, and no one will come and cause trouble."
"In the end, it was a coincidence. Zhao Chengwu was killed by a passing warrior. Soong Tianliang thought that Zhao Chengwu had already killed him, but in fact, he didn't kill him. That was why Gan Jing was still alive. When he saw that he wasn't in Lianshan Sect, he naturally came to cause trouble."
"So that's how it is." Che Hou said faintly, "You can handle this matter."
"Sir Che Hou, this will be the first time this year. We will let Gan Jing go next year?" Chen Yunlong asked in a low voice.
