"Hey, did you hear that the Lost Soul City is opposing the Holy Institute's decision to send troops to our Puhe City. Moreover, they also said that if the Holy Institute sends troops, then they will send troops to support our Puhe City. Do you think this is true or false?"
"I don't think it's false. The Lost Soul City is bigger than our Puhe City. Moreover, I heard that they have a grudge against the Holy Institute. Also, you said that the Lost Soul City made a public statement. How could they go back on their words? If they go back on their words, then I'm afraid they won't be able to stay in the Spiritual Weapon Realm anymore."
"I think it's true. However, the Lost Soul City is really courageous. This is tantamount to openly challenging the Holy Institute. Ever since the Holy Institute said that they would deal with our Puhe City, no one has publicly supported us. Now that the Lost Soul City has publicly supported us, I think that the Holy Institute would have to think twice before dealing with our Puhe City."
"What does this have to do with us? It doesn't matter if it's Lu Cheng or the Sacred Institute, we still have to live like this. To be honest, I hope that it's the Lost Soul City-State that's in charge of us. I heard that the people of the Lost Soul City-State are eating white rice and meat every meal. It's like a festival."
"Isn't that so? We're both city-states, so why can the people of the Lost Soul City-State live such a good life? I've heard about how the Lost Soul City-State used to be. I heard that in the past, there were wars every day, and the people there were almost all dead. In the past, if you wanted to do business in the Lost Soul City-State, people would say that you're using your head to earn money. But now, you can't even get a chance to do business in the Lost Soul City-State.
"You don't know this, but my cousin was abducted and sold to Lost Soul City. She married a man who lost an arm and was injured in a war. Her life was very hard. My family wanted to bring her back, but my cousin said that she was already my brother-in-law's woman, so she wouldn't go home no matter what. My family had no choice but to secretly help them. But I didn't expect that recently, my cousin and brother-in-law's life would become better. My cousin could still read a few words when she was a child, and I heard that she now works in the City Lord's Mansion of Lost Soul City, earning more than ten silver coins a month. I also heard that she also has medical insurance and old age insurance. My brother-in-law is even more amazing. I heard that he is now a small official in Lost Soul City. Not only does he earn more than my cousin, he also manages a lot of people, and during festivals, he even distributes things to the family. Now, he has taken her parents to live a good life, and you can't go to a place where no one went before."
"That's right. You guys don't know, but I heard that the Lost Soul City is really too good. If you want to live there, you have to go through a review. If you don't pass, you won't be accepted."
"I also heard that the people from the Sacred Institute went to the city of Lost Souls to investigate Tang Fei's death. But when they arrived, they were directly thrown into prison. Every year, they would only be given a few hours of free time. Then they would be escorted around for more than a month before they were sent away. You see, the Sacred Institute didn't dare to do anything to them. But now, they're looking for trouble with us. I think those fellows from the Sacred Institute are just bullying the weak and fearing the strong."
"Hey, Brother Deng, I heard that the child of your boss went to the Saint Academy to study? Why haven't they returned yet? What's going on? "
But who would have thought that after our young master entered the Sacred Academy, he didn't come back. After so many years, there wasn't even a message from him. I heard from the people of the Sacred Academy that our young master went to a place called the Secret Territory to carry out a mission. Although there were letters sent back sometimes, it was useless. A few days ago, the Sacred Academy sent someone to inform our master, saying that our young master died in battle. You didn't see it, half of our master's hair turned white that night. Our young master was such a smart person, but now he is nowhere to be seen. How miserable. If you ask me, this Sacred Academy is really not a good place. Maybe our young master has already been killed by them, so they told us about it. Otherwise, why would they not let us return home for so many years and not even let us see each other? "
"Ah, there's such a thing. How come I didn't know about it? I used to be very respectful to the Sacred Institute. I didn't expect it to be like this. "
"You don't know that the Sacred Institute is terrible. I heard from my father that the people from the Sacred Institute are really not good. Our young master could have come back and become a Sky Dance Realm expert. But because of the people from the Sacred Institute, our young master gave the opportunity to someone else and then sent him to that Secret Domain to die. They didn't even let him go home. Now, whenever the Sacred Institute is mentioned, our young master would gnash his teeth in anger. The most hateful thing is that our young master doesn't dare to say anything. For the sake of our family's safety, he doesn't dare to go against the people from the Sacred Institute. Hey, you don't see it, I think our young master will be in danger if this goes on."
"Ah, I really didn't expect it to be like this. It seems like the city lord is still very good to us. Although he has been collecting taxes for so many years, the taxes collected are not high. If the Sacred Institute really attacks us, I don't know how many people will die."
"Yes, our Puhe City hasn't been in a war for so many years. If a war breaks out this time, a lot of people will die. Hey, the future days won't be good. If any of you have a way to go to Mi Hun City, it would be great."
"If everyone wants to go, how can we possibly go? Forget it, let's just endure it. If we want to blame someone, blame our bad luck …"
Such discussions could be heard everywhere in Puhe City. The ordinary people of Puhe City were also talking about this matter. They also knew that a war was coming.
No one liked war, and these ordinary people didn't like it either. They were people who had experienced war and knew that once a war broke out, people would die. Not only that, they might also increase taxes. Everyone's life wouldn't be good. Therefore, no one liked war. However, they also understood that this kind of thing wasn't something they could decide. They were the most ordinary and insignificant people. They simply didn't have the ability to manage these things.
However, everyone believed that Mi Hun City was a paradise, a paradise in their hearts. Countless people wanted to live in Mi Hun City, but they didn't have the means to do so.
As for the statement made by the Lost Soul City, not only did it cause discussion in the Puhe City, it also caused a huge sensation in the entire world of spirit weapons. No one would have thought that the Lost Soul City would actually issue such a strongly worded statement. This was a clear indication of the Lost Soul City's attitude. The Lost Soul City was telling the Sacred Academy that if they wanted to attack the Puhe City, they would absolutely not agree to it. They would not even hesitate to go to war.
To be honest, this statement was definitely the strongest statement made by the Sacred Institute since the fall of Sky Sword Empire. This was something that no one had expected.
Not long after the Lost Soul City-State's statement, the Sacred also made a statement, saying that they would never bow their heads to anyone. They had sent troops to the Puhe City-State for revenge. Anyone who tried to stop them from taking revenge would be their enemy, and they would give them the greatest blow. This undoubtedly showed the attitude of the Sacred Institute. It was like a declaration of war.
At this time, Shi Chui also arrived at Puhe City. This time, Shi Chui didn't hide his identity. He swaggered in, accompanied by a squad of a hundred people.
Zhao Hai told Stonehammer to immediately go to Pujiang City. But this time, he needed to be prepared. After all, Stonehammer was going to Pujiang City as a representative of Lost Soul City. Moreover, he couldn't go to Pujiang City in secret, otherwise, nobody would know about it. Therefore, he first sent a letter to Lu Jinyan. After getting Lu Jinyan's approval, Stonehammer led a small team to Pujiang City. Stonehammer's group had already arrived at Pujiang City.
As soon as they appeared in Puhe City's transmission formation, Puhe City immediately sent people to receive them. They directly welcomed Shi Chui and the others into the City Lord's Mansion.
Now that Puhe City was aware of Mi Hun City's attitude towards the Sacred Institute's attack, the people of Puhe City were very polite to Shi Chui and the others. They escorted Shi Chui and the others all the way back to the City Lord's Mansion. However, Lu Jinyan actually welcomed Shi Chui in front of the City Lord's Mansion, this was definitely a rare sight.
Shi Chui came down from the carriage that was arranged for him. Then he gave Lu Jinyan a salute and said, "Shi Chui has seen City Lord Lu. Shi Chui represents our City Lord, Zhao Hai, to send our deepest greetings to City Lord Lu."
Lu Jinyan quickly replied, "Mister Shi is too polite. For Mister Shi to come to Puhe City today, I'm very happy. Mister, please come inside." Then Lu Jinyan made an inviting gesture towards Zhao Hai.
Shi Chui gave Lu Jinyan a salute and said, "This Shi Chui came this time because of the City Lord's orders. Our Mi Hun City and Puhe City have always been brothers. Since Puhe City has a problem, our Mi Hun City naturally wouldn't sit idly by. As for the specifics, it's better for us to talk inside. City Lord Lu, please." Then Shi Chui led Lu Jinyan inside.
Lu Jinyan and Shi Chui walked towards the City Lord's Mansion. Before long, the two arrived at Lu Jinyan's study room. After arriving at the study room, Lu Jinyan asked Shi Chui to sit down. Then he smiled bitterly and said, "Mister Shi, to be honest, I didn't think that you would come to Puhe City at this time. You clearly want to shed all pretense of cordiality with the Sacred Institute."
Shi Chui smiled faintly and said, "We have already shed all pretense of cordiality. It's just that the Sacred Institute thought that our Mi Hun City wouldn't dare to challenge them. They are too confident. Our Mi Hun City, from top to bottom, doesn't have anyone who is afraid of trouble."
