Chapter 1635: Chapter 1325: No Need for Such Trouble, Just Send in the Troops
White Feather City is located on the edge of the Chaotic Sea, and it’s easy to develop one’s power there without attracting much attention.
Although King Anyuan has discovered Lu Chen’s return, even if he leaks the news, White Feather City is far from the Tianxia Immortal Dynasty. The dynasty’s army would take a long time to arrive, giving White Feather City ample time to prepare.
Upon hearing Lu Chen’s words, Lu Zhengze looked at the distant Purple Moon City and asked, “My lord, now that we have taken Purple Moon City, I’m afraid King Anyuan will soon realize we have seen through his plan. He might make another move soon.”
Lu Chen replied, “I actually think he won’t take any action. After all, I haven’t fully developed yet. He wants to use me to get rid of Lu Jingfu. If I didn’t have some strength, how could I help him get rid of Lu Jingfu?”
Hearing Lu Chen’s analysis, Lu Zhengze thought for a moment, found some sense in it, and decided not to dwell on whether or not to leave White Feather City.
After annexing Purple Moon City, White Feather City embraced another wave of great development. In their area, Purple Moon City was quite powerful, being on the edge of the Chaotic Sea. The major powers showed no interest in regions eroded by Chaos Qi, so in this area, a Heavenly Immortal was already considered strong.
The surrounding cities, seeing White Feather City defeat Purple Moon City, thought White Feather City intended to continue expanding and unify the area. To thwart White Feather City’s plans, several larger nearby cities quickly formed an alliance to stop its expansion.
Lu Chen was aware of these city lords’ actions, but he didn’t pay them much mind. At most, they were just Heavenly Immortals, and he could deal with them without using the Immortal King’s Remain Curse.
It was actually convenient for them to unite, as it meant not having to conquer one city at a time, resolving all at once when they gathered together.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen didn’t stop the city lords from forming alliances.
In a blink of an eye, ten years passed.
Shiyang City.
Today, Shiyang City was bustling with immortal ships flying overhead continuously.
Today was the alliance day of several major cities. Apart from White Feather City and the cities under its control, the city lords of almost all other cities in the Land of Chaos had arrived.
White Feather City’s rapid expansion worried them, so years ago, they began planning an alliance. Over the past decade, the cities reached a consensus: whatever their past conflicts, they needed to set them aside until White Feather City was eliminated.
At this moment, many city lords had already arrived at Shiyang City’s City Lord’s Mansion.
Shiyang City’s City Lord, Gao Hongbo, sat in the great hall, discussing intelligence on White Feather City with other city lords. At this moment, a guard’s voice came from the entrance.
“City Lord Min of Anda City has arrived!”
The next moment, a man in a blue robe appeared at the door of the great hall. Anda City’s City Lord Min Guanghua glanced at the city lords present and said with a smile, “I didn’t expect everyone to arrive so quickly. I thought I would be the first.”
Then, a city lord teased, “City Lord Min, no matter how fast you are, you can’t be faster than City Lord Ge!”
Min Guanghua replied, “City Lord Wang, isn’t that obvious? City Lord Ge lives in Shiyang City. How could I be faster than him?”
Speaking of this, Min Guanghua scanned the people in the hall again, then asked, “Strange, where’s City Lord Zhan?”
“Did something happen?”
Gao Hongbo, sitting at the top of the hall, said, “He sent word earlier; he’s on his way to Shiyang City.”
Upon hearing Gao Hongbo’s words, Min Guanghua didn’t think much of it and walked straight to an empty seat in the hall, then said, “It’s odd, we planned the alliance as soon as Purple Moon City was conquered by White Feather City. It’s impossible White Feather City doesn’t know about it, yet after all these ten years, they haven’t tried to stop us.”
Just as Min Guanghua finished speaking, a man’s voice came from the entrance of the hall. The man had a large build, wore golden armor, and stood two or three meters tall.
“Perhaps White Feather City doesn’t take us seriously, thinking that even if we ally, we won’t pose a threat to them.”
Upon hearing this, the city lords in the hall unanimously turned their eyes to the entrance. Seeing the man at the door, Min Guanghua said, “City Lord Zhan, I never thought you’d be slower than me.”
Zhan Mo said, “Ran into some issues on the way, so I was delayed.”
Min Guanghua asked, “What issues could be more important than the alliance?”
Zhan Mo chuckled and said, “You’ll find out shortly. I found some help.”
Hearing Zhan Mo’s words, the attending city lords looked at him curiously, eager to know who this helper was and what power they had.
Then, Gao Hongbo, sitting at the top, spoke, “Alright, since everyone’s here, let’s discuss the alliance matter.”
“Even though White Feather City hasn’t made any moves in the past ten years, their strength continually grows. From how they annexed Purple Moon City, it’s clear their ambition is not small; their aim might be to unify the entire Land of Chaos.”
As Gao Hongbo finished, a city lord on the right said, “I’ve looked into White Feather City’s leader, Lu Zhengze, and his couple are nearing the end of their lifespans, and neither of them has reasonable motives. They shouldn’t be interested in expanding power.”
Another city lord said, “Indeed, it was the same fifty years ago with Lu Zhengze, who disregarded White Feather City, causing a massive population exodus, nearly leading to the city’s disappearance.”
Gao Hongbo said, “Regardless of his sudden desire to expand power, we can’t ignore it.”
“Jia Wenrui of Purple Moon City was stronger than most of us, and there were two Heavenly Immortals, but still, Purple Moon City lost to White Feather City.”
“If White Feather City attacks any one of us here, we might end up like Purple Moon City.”
“So we must unite!”
“We should proactively strike, destroy White Feather City, and remove this threat.”
As Gao Hongbo finished, Min Guanghua, stroking his chin, said, “It’s peculiar indeed. Lu Zhengze and his couple are two Heavenly Immortals nearing their end, weaker than Jia Wenrui, yet Jia Wenrui lost.”
Gao Hongbo said, “Maybe Lu Zhengze used some Magic Treasure.”
Upon hearing this, some city lords began plotting quietly.
If there really were some Magic Treasure, collaborating to attack Lu Zhengze, even if they succeeded in killing him, some might fall victim to the Magic Treasure.
Some also had their eyes on the possible Magic Treasure Lu Zhengze possessed.
A city lord said, “It seems like attacking White Feather City needs careful planning.”
Upon hearing this, Zhan Mo laughed and said, “No need for such trouble, just deploy the troops directly.”
