Shen Baihe led his men out of the city to welcome the disciples of the Abandoned Sword Villa. In the inner city, there was a small disturbance because of the Abandoned Sword Villa.
King City had a history of more than a thousand years. In fact, it grew from small to large, and the real core could only be considered the inner city.
In the inner city, the Mayor's Mansion was the most powerful.
Legend had it that the Mayor had mastered the Xuanmen's lost techniques a thousand years ago, and his martial arts were not below the current Mayor's. It was just that he was obsessed with martial arts and rarely appeared in front of people, so the development of King City was not that fast.
In addition to the Mayor's Mansion, there were various forces in the inner city — Elysium and Demonic Region were two of the most prominent ones, and below them, there were various sects, gangs, and organizations.
Among them, the sects at the bottom were also having a hard time.
Sometimes, they had to do things that they did not want to do.
In the Hundred Lions Hall, a blonde old man had his eyes closed. The wrinkles on his face were like knives, and his whole body was as solemn as a knife. Even if he was just sitting there quietly, his body was emitting an awe-inspiring and inviolable aura.
Below him stood a middle-aged man in green. His face was bitter, and there were traces of wind and frost on his temples.
"Senior Brother, this time, the Great Heavenly King Luo specially ordered us to go to the nineteen outer cities to participate in the year-end competition, and to prevent the Abandoned Sword Villa from rising to the inner city — we really can't agree to this!"
The man in green was very worried.
The Hundred Lions Hall was an ordinary sect in the inner city.
It had many years of history, and it took a lot of effort to rise from the outer city to the inner city with the resources of the inner city. After so many years, it had some small achievements, but the future was uncertain, and it was difficult to advance.
The Hall Master of the Hundred Lions Hall, the blonde Divine Lord Hong Yinlie, had already cultivated the Lion Power to ninety-nine cycles, and was only one cycle away from perfection, pushing the martial arts of his sect to an unprecedented level. He was also a Level Four True God expert.
His junior brother, the green-robed man, Lu Chuanfa, had also mastered the Lionheart Sword Skill. He was currently at the peak of the Third Level True God Realm and was the other expert who had the highest chance of breaking through to the Fourth Level True God Realm in the Hundred Lions Hall. However, due to the lack of resources, he could only rely on the accumulation of time. Whether he could break through before the end of his life was still unknown.
Hong Yinlie had always felt that he had taken advantage of the sect's good fortune and had let down this extremely talented junior brother of his. Unfortunately, even though he had a high status and a high cultivation base, it was very difficult for him to pour all the sect's resources on his junior brother to help him break through. After all, the sect's most important consideration was the issue of inheritance. All the good fortune and precious medicinal materials had to be used on his eldest disciple first. This had become a knot in his heart.
This time, the Great Heavenly King Luo had sent people to suppress the Abandoned Sword Villa in the outer city. Of course, the inner city sects were unwilling to do so. Hong Yinlie also felt disdain, but he couldn't help but be moved when he saw the large amount of rewards promised by the Great Heavenly King.
"This matter concerns the development of the sect. If we have this large batch of medicinal herbs, it might be able to help Junior Brother take another step forward …"
He knew that Lu Chuanfa was puzzled, but he still told him frankly.
Lu Chuanfa felt a burst of excitement in his heart. He shook his head and said, "I already understand the Hall Master's intentions. However, this matter may not be as simple as the Great Heavenly King Luo said. For the sword art I cultivate, it's good if I can break through. If I can't, then so be it. Why force it? "
"Oh?"
Hong Yinlie's eyebrows slightly raised. "What does Junior Brother mean?"
He didn't want to do this because he felt that it was embarrassing. As a sect in the inner city, they had actually been reduced to bullying a sect in the outer city. Speaking of which, they were really ashamed of their ancestors.
However, in Hong Yinlie's opinion, it should be easy for their Hundred Lions Hall to deal with a sect in the outer city that hadn't been promoted yet. Where did Lu Chuanfa's worry come from?
Lu Chuanfa knew that this senior brother of his had a straightforward temper. Apart from the sect's affairs, he was mostly indifferent. He would only take a glance at the affairs in the outer city. How would he know about the Abandoned Sword Villa's recent reputation?
He smiled bitterly and said, "Hall Master, this Abandoned Sword Villa is extraordinary. A few days ago, Ferocious Beasts suddenly attacked nineteen outer cities. There were at least ten million of them, but they were stopped by three female disciples of the villa with their swords. It was also because of this that the inner city promoted the Abandoned Sword Villa to a fourth-grade sect …"
"Fourth-grade?"
Hong Yinlie was stunned and finally opened his eyes. "Why didn't the inner city promote them directly? Why did they have to participate in the year-end competition?"
However, he immediately came to his senses and showed a look of disgust on his face.
Needless to say, there were naturally people who didn't like the Abandoned Sword Villa and deliberately suppressed them.
However … they could subdue ten million Ferocious Beasts, which meant that they had some skills.
"Is there a fourth-grade True God expert in their villa?"
Hong Yinlie paid a little attention and asked.
Lu Chuanfa hesitated and shook his head. "I don't think so …"
If there was a fourth-grade True God expert, then no matter what, as long as the Abandoned Sword Villa reported to the inner city, they could avoid the year-end competition and be promoted to the inner city directly.
The people of the Abandoned Sword Villa couldn't be so secretive about this, right?
No one would think in this direction.
"Since there isn't a fourth-grade True God expert, what are you afraid of?" Hong Yinlie sneered and said heroically, "I guess it's because the Abandoned Sword Villa doesn't have a fourth-grade True God expert that the inner city has the opportunity to suppress them and make them go through the year-end competition to be promoted …"
However, this wasn't necessarily a kind of protection.
Sects that were promoted through the year-end competition generally only had third-grade True Gods in their sects, and they would be protected by the inner city for a hundred years to cultivate talents. After a hundred years, this protection restriction would be removed.
In this way, if someone wanted to target the Abandoned Sword Villa, at least on the surface, they wouldn't go overboard.
"If the Great Heavenly King Luo didn't give the order, maybe they really had good intentions."
Lu Chuanfa knew what his Senior Brother meant and said with a bitter smile, "But now, it's obvious that the inner city wants to suppress the Abandoned Sword Villa. How can it be justified to let a fourth-grade sect stay in the outer city without any benefits? Hall Master, it's best that we don't get involved in this mess. "
After the battle with the Ferocious Beasts, the strength of the Abandoned Sword Villa could be described as unfathomable.
The Great Heavenly King Luo could suppress them for a few years, but he couldn't suppress them for a lifetime. Why make an enemy out of nothing?
Hong Yinlie laughed, "Junior Brother, you're worrying too much. The Abandoned Sword Villa is strong, but is our Hundred Lions Hall weak? At least I'm here. In the future, Cui Xiao will definitely be able to shoulder the burden. We have this inheritance, so why should we be afraid of a mere Abandoned Sword Villa? "
A fourth-grade True God expert was enough to suppress an entire sect.
Hong Yinlie felt that this trip would only be a little troublesome, but it wouldn't be a threat to him.
"In the future, if Junior Brother can use this opportunity to break through in one fell swoop, we will have two fourth-grade True Gods, and have the opportunity to explore the boundaries of a fifth-grade sect. At that time, a mere Abandoned Sword Villa won't be worth mentioning."
Hong Yinlie was full of heroism.
Lu Chuanfa shivered and bowed, "Hall Master is a man of great talent. For you to think of Junior Brother like this, I'm really … grateful."
He knew that his Senior Brother wasn't just thinking for the development of the sect, but also for himself. It was really hard to repay this kind of thought.
