The word 'sovereignty' might not have been invented by the people of the Spirit Weapon World, but they already had this concept. Moreover, this concept was very strong. Because of the years of war, there were too many city-states here. Because of this, the city-states attached great importance to sovereignty. Even if two city-states were friendly with each other, they would still have some interactions with each other. However, there would be very little military interaction between them. They wouldn't allow the other party's army to enter their territory, let alone an army of ten thousand.
Ten thousand soldiers, and they were very strong. Such an army was stationed outside the Puhe City. If the Puhe City didn't feel at ease with the Lost Soul City-State, then Lu Jinyan wouldn't be able to sleep at night.
However, at this time, Lu Jinyan had a smile on his face as he received Stone Hammer in the living room of the City Lord's Mansion. Lu Jinyan looked at Stone Hammer and said, "Mister Stone Hammer, I've troubled you this time. I wonder if the barracks is convenient? If there's anything you need, then please tell me. "
Stone Hammer immediately replied, "City Lord Lu is too polite. The barracks are very good, we're already used to it. City Lord Lu doesn't need to be polite. This time, we came to help Puhe City in dealing with the Sacred Courtyard. Everything else is fine."
Lu Jinyan smiled and said, "Lost Soul City-State's great kindness, our River Pool City-State will always remember it in our hearts. I ask Mister Shi to inform City Lord Zhao Hai that we would be eternally grateful."
Stone Hammer smiled and said, "City Lord Lu is too polite. We now have a common enemy, the Sacred Courtyard. Therefore, there's no need to be polite."
Lu Jinyan laughed heartily and said, "Alright, Mister Shi is indeed a straightforward person. I won't say any more words of thanks. I still have one more thing to ask Mister Shi. It's inconvenient not to be here."
Stone Hammer looked at Lu Jinyan and said, "City Lord Lu, please speak frankly. As long as it's not a secret, then I'll tell you everything." Stone Hammer was curious about what Lu Jinyan wanted to ask. He and Lu Jinyan didn't seem to have met before. Moreover, Lu Jinyan shouldn't be someone who doesn't know what's important. What would he ask?
Lu Jinyan looked at Shi Chui and said, "Some time ago, the three Elders of the Secret Territory came to Lost Soul City. I think Mister Shi should know about this, right?"
Stone Hammer nodded, he didn't quite understand what Lu Jinyan meant. Lu Jinyan looked at Stone Hammer and said, "Mister Shi, to be honest, we also have some understanding of the Mystic Realm. In the past, one of my elders died in the Mystic Realm. Our knowledge of the Mystic Realm might be more than others. This Elder Li Tang is an old Elder of the Mystic Realm. He doesn't seem to be an easy person to talk to. I just want to know, why would Elder Li Tang let the Lost Soul City go? With his temper, I'm afraid he won't let the Lost Soul City-State off so easily, right? "
When Stone Hammer heard Lu Jinyan's words, he understood what Lu Jinyan wanted to ask. Shi Chui smiled faintly and said, "Naturally, Elder Li Tang wouldn't bow his head so easily. He used all kinds of methods. In the end, he even threatened to become an Elder of the Holy Court. But it's a pity that he left in the end. This was because he didn't dare to make a move. If he did, then the three of them would have to stay in the Lost Soul City."
When Lu Jinyan heard Stonehammer, he couldn't help but sigh. He understood what Stonehammer meant. Li Tang didn't want to let Zhao go, but they also didn't think that the strength of the Lost Soul city-state would be this formidable. They actually had the possibility of forcing Zhao to stay in the Lost Soul city-state. This was too surprising.
Shi Chui looked at Lu Jinyan and said, "I think that the Sacred Institute already knows about this news, and because they know about it, they won't act recklessly. This time, even if they want to deal with the Puhe City, they will still send Wu Sky Realm experts as their main force. However, we don't know how many of them will come. The Sacred Institute certainly has a lot of Wu Sky Realm experts. This time, we don't have a lot of Wu Sky Realm experts, but we did bring a lot of Qiang Qi Realm experts. They are a threat to Wu Sky Realm experts."
When Lu Jinyan heard Stone Hammer, his eyes couldn't help but light up. Then he nodded and said, "So it's like this. Good, very good. If the Holy Court really sent Void Experts to deal with us, then we can fight against them."
Stone Hammer smiled faintly and said, "The City Lord is already prepared. Our Lost Soul City will also begin our investigation. First, we'll eliminate all threats in the city. Then we'll deal with the Holy Court's attack. This time, I'm afraid we won't be able to count on the other cities to help us."
Lu Jinyan coldly snorted and said, "I've been disappointed with them for a long time. The Holy Court's alliance, this time, we'll know. There aren't many people who really want to go against the Holy Court. Those people might want to make up with the Holy Court, but they didn't think that making up with the Holy Court isn't an easy thing. Will the Holy Court let them go? Even if they let them go now, wouldn't they come after them in the future? A group of short-sighted people. "
Stone Hammer smiled faintly and didn't say anything. Lu Jinyan looked at Stone Hammer and said, "Isn't City Lord Zhao angry with those people? The actions of those people are really too disappointing. "
Stone Hammer smiled and said, "The City Lord knows what those people are thinking. Those people are just afraid of the Sacred Academy. They are actually timid people, they would only side with the stronger ones. Previously, they saw that the Sacred Academy had a lot of people participating, so they joined as well. But now that the Sacred Academy is serious, they immediately became afraid. Moreover, there weren't many people who took the lead, so they started to shrink back. However, the City Lord said that it's better this way, there will always be people who will stand with us against the Sacred Academy. And at this time, those who will stand with us against the Sacred Academy will be the backbone of the Anti-Sacred Academy Alliance."
Lu Jinyan nodded and said, "That's true. If we didn't experience this matter, we wouldn't know what kind of character those fellows are. When they talk empty talk, they can shake the heavens. But when it's time to see the truth, they're all very honest."
Stone Hammer smiled faintly and said, "City Lord Lu, if there's nothing else, then I'll be taking my leave. The army just arrived, I still have some things to deal with. If those people know that I'm not here, then I don't know what they'll do. I'm a bit worried, so I have to go back and take a look."
Lu Jinyan nodded and said, "Alright, Mister can do as you wish. If Mister needs anything, then don't hesitate to tell me. I'll have someone deliver it to Mister."
Stone Hammer smiled and said, "Alright, thank you City Lord Lu." Then he stood up and gave Lu Jinyan a salute. Then he turned around and left the room, heading towards the barracks outside the city.
Lu Jinyan looked at Stone Hammer leaving. When Stone Hammer's figure disappeared, he opened his mouth and said, "Guohua, what do you think of Stone Hammer's words? Does the Lost Soul City really have the strength to make Li Tang bow his head? "
Chen Guohua didn't know when he appeared behind Lu Jinyan. Upon hearing Lu Jinyan's question, Chen Guohua replied, "I can't say for sure. However, Stone Hammer doesn't look like he's lying. Moreover, the last time I saw Zhao Hai, I felt that he had an unfathomable aura. It seems like he has a card up his sleeve. With such a person, I shouldn't be lying. Moreover, Li Tang really didn't do anything to the Lost Soul City."
Lu Jinyan said, "But how do we deal with the Crane Field Grass? With Crane Field Grass's strength, he should be one of the Lost Soul City's experts, right? In the end, he still went to the Secret Realm and died inside. If the Lost Soul City had that kind of strength, then why would they send Crane Field Grass to his death in the Secret Realm? Do you think that Li Tang retreated because of Crane Field Grass? Crane Field just died in the secret realm not long ago. If Li Tang were to deal with the Lost Soul City-State at this time, the people in the secret realm would not agree. Even if he were to deal with the Lost Soul City-State as an Elder of the Sacred Institute, those people are not fools. "
Chen Guohua replied, "This possibility isn't impossible. However, if Zhao Hai is lying to us, then I think there's no need to do so. After all, the Sacred Academy is about to go to war with us. When the time comes, the Sacred Academy would send a Breaking River expert to participate in the war. Zhao Hai telling us such a lie wouldn't do him any good. Now that he's publicly opposing the Sacred Academy, the Sacred Academy wouldn't let him off. If he doesn't have the strength, then he would be courting death."
Lu Jinyan nodded and said, "So, what Stone Hammer said is true? It seems like the Lost Soul City is stronger than we thought. But this is also good. Having such a strong ally is a good thing for us. "
Chen Guohua looked at Lu Jinyan and whispered, "City Lord, having such a strong ally is a good thing. However, if the ally is too strong, then it wouldn't be a good thing. What if the ally has other ambitions? Wouldn't we be in more trouble? "
When Lu Jinyan heard Chen Guohua, he couldn't help but stare. Then he turned his head to Chen Guohua and said, "Guohua, what do you mean? Could it be that you can see that the City of Lost Souls has greater ambitions? "
Chen Guohua shook his head and said, "That's not it. I'm just worried that having such a powerful ally might not be a good thing for us. Moreover, when a person is strong, they would naturally have bigger ambitions. This is inevitable. I've never heard of a strong person who would be willing to be ordinary. If Zhao Hai's individual strength is strong, then that would be fine. But his strength isn't just his individual strength, it's also the strength of the entire Lost Soul City-State. In this case, would he be willing to stay in the Lost Soul City-State? Wouldn't he want to expand? I really don't believe it. "
Lu Jinyan was silent. He understood what Chen Guohua meant. He also agreed with Chen Guohua. The stronger a person is, the bigger their ambitions. Even if they don't have Zhao Hai's influence, as long as they have enough strength, they would still have big ambitions. This was very normal. If the Lost Soul City-State had the strength to force Li Tang to retreat, then this meant that the overall strength of the Lost Soul City-State couldn't be underestimated. With such strength, would Zhao Hai be willing to stay in the Lost Soul City-State? He was afraid that it was impossible. If it was him, it would be impossible as well. Thus, expansion was his only thought. However, expansion meant war. Now, Mi Hun City was their ally. Having such an ally was not necessarily a good thing for Puhe City.
