Chapter 1639: Chapter 1329: Zhan Mo’s Speculation
After Lu Chen killed Xiao Yunze, another ten years quickly passed.
In these ten years, White Feather City integrated the entire Land of Chaos and even established the White Feather Army. Although it hasn’t become an Immortal Dynasty, it already bears the basic shape of one.
However, White Feather City’s actions have caused other cities to completely lose their independence, greatly weakening the autonomy of those City Lords. The most important aspect is that their accumulated wealth was handed over, and some of the powerful individuals they cultivated were also absorbed into White Feather City.
With White Feather City pressing down on them, the strength of their respective cities would weaken more and more, and in the end, these City Lords would become servants of White Feather City.
Although they initially surrendered under Lu Chen’s pressure, they didn’t expect White Feather City to intervene so deeply in the affairs of their cities after their surrender.
Not only was their wealth confiscated, but their strength was also continuously diminished. If this continues, White Feather City could dispose of their City Lords as they please.
Ancient Spirit City.
City Lord’s Mansion.
In the Meeting Hall of the City Lord’s Mansion, feasts and dances were in full swing, with delicious food and beautiful women everywhere.
Zhan Mo sat in the hall’s seat, glanced at the guests on either side, and with a smile said, "Thank you all for giving me face and attending today’s banquet."
At this time, Min Guanghua curiously asked, "I wonder why City Lord Zhan invited us here?"
Zhan Mo picked up the wine glass on the table, drank it in one gulp, and then said, "Gentlemen, are you really willing to continue being exploited by White Feather City?"
Upon hearing Zhan Mo’s words, everyone present was startled. They didn’t expect Zhan Mo would actually bring up this topic.
Although they’re displeased with White Feather City, they only dared to keep such resentment hidden because White Feather City allegedly has the terrifying backing of an Immortal King.
If they spoke up, there’s no telling if these words would reach that person’s ears someday. If that person knew, they might end up with only a dead end.
Min Guanghua frowned and said, "City Lord Zhan, do you know what you’re saying right now?"
Zhan Mo calmly refilled his glass and drank it again, then said leisurely, "Of course, I know what I’m saying."
"And don’t pretend; I know you’re dissatisfied with White Feather City too, you’re just afraid of the person behind White Feather City."
Hearing these words, Gao Hongbo laughed and said, "Since City Lord Zhan knows who we’re afraid of, why gather us to discuss this?"
"Perhaps City Lord Zhan has a death wish and wants to drag us down with him?"
Zhan Mo said indifferently, "A death wish?"
Zhan Mo chuckled, "I have just broken through to Heavenly Immortal not long ago and possess a lifespan of billions of years, why would I not want to live?"
"It’s just that I can’t stand this kind of exploitation."
"Also, I can tell you something that I believe everyone here would find very interesting."
"Do any of you know where Lord Xiao came from?"
Everyone showed a hint of confusion.
Min Guanghua asked, "Lord Xiao? Who’s that?"
Zhan Mo said, "The True Immortal who came to the Land of Chaos before."
Gao Hongbo said, "City Lord Zhan, if you have something to say, just say it. I don’t want to mess around here."
Zhan Mo said, "Eh, City Lord Ge, don’t be in such a hurry."
"When I met with Lord Xiao, he mentioned his identity. He’s a subordinate of King Anyuan of the Tianxia Immortal Dynasty."
"The reason he came to the Land of Chaos is because King Anyuan of the Tianxia Immortal Dynasty assigned him a task."
Hearing these words, the people present were stunned again.
They didn’t expect Xiao Yunze to have such a significant background. For City Lords in the Land of Chaos, an Immortal Dynasty is an enormous entity.
At this point, one of the City Lords in the hall said, "Even if that person is from the Tianxia Immortal Dynasty, so what?"
Zhan Mo said, "Think about it, what kind of task would bring Lord Xiao to a place like the Land of Chaos, which lacks Immortal Aura?"
"I believe the task must be extremely important, and it might be related to the person behind White Feather City. After all, it’s bizarre for such a terrifying existence to suddenly appear in a place like the Land of Chaos."
Listening to Zhan Mo’s analysis, everyone agreed there was some truth to it.
Min Guanghua said, "Even if it’s related to that person, what does it have to do with us?"
The Tianxia Immortal Dynasty is too far while White Feather City is too near; that person could take their lives anytime.
Zhan Mo said, "Lord Xiao hasn’t returned yet. What do you think, if King Anyuan sees that Lord Xiao hasn’t returned, will he send even stronger Immortals to the Land of Chaos?"
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked. If Lord Xiao did come for the person behind White Feather City and hasn’t reported back, King Anyuan might actually send more formidable people.
Min Guanghua said, "Let him send people then, it has nothing to do with us."
Zhan Mo sneered, "How foolish!"
Min Guanghua’s expression darkened with fury, just as he was about to speak, Zhan Mo continued, "City Lord Min, think about it, how could a strong individual choose to stay in the Land of Chaos?"
"I don’t know what that person’s identity is, but he must be evading an even stronger enemy, forcing him to hide here in the Land of Chaos."
"Obviously, King Anyuan of the Tianxia Immortal Dynasty is the strong enemy behind White Feather City. If King Anyuan knew that the person behind White Feather City was in the Land of Chaos, he would surely send people to deal with him."
When the strong ones from the Tianxia Immortal Dynasty come to the Land of Chaos, will those of us loyal to White Feather City have a good outcome?
This...
After listening to Zhan Mo, the City Lords in the hall looked at each other and felt that Zhan Mo made a good point.
Zhan Mo continued, "If we want to survive, the best way is to actively communicate with King Anyuan and inform him of what’s happening in the Land of Chaos."
"Once King Anyuan learns of the person in the Land of Chaos, he will definitely send experts to resolve the one behind White Feather City. Once that person is dead, the Land of Chaos will return to its former state."
As Zhan Mo finished speaking, the hall fell silent; if everything happened as he said, they indeed should seek a way out.
For a moment, everyone began contemplating whether to find a means to connect with King Anyuan.
At this moment, Min Guanghua asked, "City Lord Zhan seems to have no reason to tell us this?"
If Zhan Mo wasn’t lying, he could find a way to contact King Anyuan of the Tianxia Immortal Dynasty himself. Once King Anyuan sends strong figures, the person behind White Feather City and those who joined White Feather City might be dealt with; once they’re gone, the entire Land of Chaos would be under Zhan Mo’s control.
