Boom! Zhao Hai once again threw a bomb into the hall. Oh, why did he say 'here'? It was very simple, this wasn't the first time that Zhao Hai did this. It was just that today was the first time.
The other city-states couldn't help but stare blankly at Zhao Hai. They didn't think that there would be five city-states joining the Bewitching Soul City-State. This really surprised them.
Zhao Hai looked at the crowd and said, "The Stone Ox city-state joined our city-state voluntarily. After joining our city-state, they will still be in charge of their districts. However, their officials and army will be reorganized. We have already discussed this matter. I just want to tell everyone that from today onwards, they will join our city-state, just like Puhe City."
Buzz! The entire hall was in chaos. The City Lords were all discussing this matter. It was clear that this matter had a huge impact on them.
Zhao looked at them and said, "I know that everyone has something to discuss, so let's end the meeting. You can stay in the hall and chat, or you can go outside to chat. If you want to chat in the hall, then I will order everyone not to approach the hall. I will not eavesdrop on your conversation." Zhao nodded and said, "Alright.
These people stared blankly at Zhao Hai. To be honest, they were now admiring Zhao Hai's bearing. Such a person was truly fascinating.
Zhao Hai looked at them and said, "Alright, Potian, let's go. We'll leave this place to everyone. Also, you don't need to participate in the next Anti-Sacred Academy Conference. Let's go." Shi Potian and the others nodded and followed Zhao Hai outside. At the same time, all the servants in the hall withdrew. Only the City Lords were left in the hall.
At this time, the City Lords didn't know what to do. The entire hall was silent. After some time, a City Lord opened his mouth and said, "Does everyone think that the hall is being monitored?"
Then everyone looked at each other in dismay, not knowing what to say. After some time, another City Lord sighed and said, "Rest assured, I don't think so. The Alliance Lord is very magnanimous. Five city-states joined the Lost Soul City-State. Now that the Lost Soul City-State is unprecedentedly strong, even if we join forces, we still might not be a match for the Alliance Lord. Is there a need for him to monitor us?"
Everyone sighed and didn't speak. After some time, a City Lord said, "What does everyone think about this matter? Why did those five city-states join the Lost Soul City-State? They all have ancestors overseeing them, and their ancestors even showed up last time. All of them are very healthy. Under such circumstances, why would they give up the power in their hands and join the Lost Soul City-State to become the Alliance Master's subordinates? "
Everyone was silent once again. One of the City Lords sighed and said, "To be honest, I think it's because of the general trend. Everyone might not believe it, but tell me, since the Heavenly Sword Empire, has there been a person like the Alliance Master? Take a look at the Lost Soul City-State, the Puhe City, and the Elephant City. Elephant City has changed so much in just a month. The Ordinary City-States have changed even more. These changes happened right under our noses. Don't you have any thoughts about it? Joining the Lost Soul City-State might seem like you've lost all your authority, but at least your family will be preserved. Moreover, although you're no longer a City Lord, you're still in control of your city's affairs. Look at Lu Jinyan, why do I feel like he's living a better life compared to when he was a City Lord? "
Everyone didn't know what to say. They also saw Lu Jinyan's situation with their own eyes. Although Lu Jinfang wasn't the City Lord he used to be, he was still living a good life. He didn't need to worry about the outside world, he just needed to take care of his own matters. Most importantly, his current authority wasn't small. Now that Lu Jinyan appeared in front of them, they didn't dare to underestimate him. This was because Lu Jinyan was from the Lost Soul City. Moreover, he was from a large city. Who would dare to underestimate such a person?
Naturally, everyone also saw another point. Zhao Hai wasn't a good person. How did Zhao Hai take down the Elephant City? Didn't he just find an excuse to destroy the Elephant City? Why? It was very simple. Because the Elephant City was in Zhao Hai's way, so it was destroyed. Then in the future, would Zhao Hai destroy them because they were in his way? This was all they could think of.
Zhao Hai was magnanimous, but there was a prerequisite to being magnanimous, and that was if you don't block his way. If you do, then he would give you two options. One, you can cooperate with him or submit to him. He would be very polite to such people. He wouldn't do anything to you, he would even give you a lot of benefits. You would lose some things, but at the same time, you would also gain more.
Secondly, if you go against him, then you would be his enemy. Zhao Hai wouldn't be polite to his enemies. Whether the enemy was a powerful Saint or a powerful Elephant City-State, as long as you're his enemy, then he would fight you to the end. But the saddest thing was that you can't win against him. Zhao Hai didn't want to lose to Zhao Hai, but he didn't want to lose to Zhao Hai.
But to make the other City Lords surrender to Zhao Hai like Shi Potian and the others, would they be able to do it? Obviously, they wouldn't be able to do it right now. This was also the reason why they were worried.
It can be said that ever since the fall of the Heavenly Sword Empire, there hasn't been a force as big as the Lost Soul City-State. Although the Lost Soul City-State was very big, the other city-states that joined the Lost Soul City-State still had their original City Lords, only their names were changed. This was because even though the Lost Soul City-State was very big, the other city-states that joined the Lost Soul City-State only had their City Lords changed.
However, one must also note that the City Lords of these city-states have already handed over their military power. Without military power, what can they do? Moreover, the Stone Ox City had voluntarily joined the Lost Soul City-State. If Zhao Hai forced them to join, then they would have an opportunity to take advantage of. But if they joined voluntarily, then it would be troublesome.
If we can't destroy the Sacred Academy, then it would be too late for us to say anything. While we're destroying the Sacred Academy, let's see what the Alliance Lord will do. If he can go further than that, then we won't be able to catch up to him. Even if we submit to him, it wouldn't be a big deal. Otherwise, we would be defeated by the Sacred Academy. Everyone, I don't want to waste my time, I'm going back. "The Alliance Lord smiled bitterly and said," Everyone, it's useless to think about this right now. If we can't destroy the Sacred Academy, then it would be too late for us to say anything. But in the process of destroying the Sacred Academy, let's see what the Alliance Lord will do. If he can go further than that, then we won't be able to catch up to him. Even if we submit to him, it wouldn't be a big deal. Otherwise, we would be defeated by the Sacred Academy. Let's go back. "Then the City Lord cupped his fist and left. When the others heard this, they stared. Then they smiled bitterly as they stood up and walked out of the hall.
The group quickly arrived in front of the City Lord's Mansion. He discovered that there was no one around the hall, not even a servant or a guard. When they arrived in front of the City Lord's Mansion, they saw a few guards and a servant standing there.
When the servant saw them arrive, he immediately cupped his fist and said, "Greetings to the City Lords. Our City Lord wants me to tell you that tonight, our City Lord will be holding a banquet in the City Lord's Mansion. Everyone must give us face and attend."
When the group heard the servant, they nodded. Then they went out of the mansion and returned to their own residences. Today's events were too sudden, they needed to go back and discuss it with their own people.
At this time, Zhao Hai was sitting in his study room. Shi Potian and the others were sitting in front of him. Besides Shi Potian and the others, Lu Jinyan was also present. Zhao Hai looked at them and said, "From today onwards, we will be a family. I can tell you that Lost Soul City will not become an empire in the future. Instead, it will slowly become a federation. Therefore, in the future, your positions might be hereditary. But as long as you do well, you can get the support of the commoners in your area. Then your family will continue to sit in that position. If you don't do well and make the commoners complain, then your family will have no choice but to hand over that position. The position of Lost Soul City's City Lord might be decided through elections in the future, instead of being monopolized by me."
When the group heard Zhao Hai, they stared. Then they looked at Zhao Hai in disbelief. They didn't think that Zhao Hai would say this. This was too unexpected.
Zhao Hai looked at them and said, "Naturally, what I'm talking about is something in the future. I can't do it now. At the very least, I need to wait until we unify the Spiritual Weapon Realm. It's still too early to talk about this."
When the group heard Zhao Hai, they nodded. They thought that Zhao Hai was just talking about it. They didn't know how long it would take for this to happen. Of course, Zhao Hai didn't explain anything to them. In fact, this was the best method that Zhao Hai could think of to unify the Spiritual Weapon Realm. This was because this was the only way to unify the Spiritual Weapon Realm without shedding too much blood. Otherwise, even if Zhao Hai's group defeated the Sacred Court, they would still have to fight with their allies. At that time, a lot of people would die in the Spiritual Weapon Realm. Because of this, Zhao Hai decided to use this method.
As long as we defeat the Sacred Courtyard, as long as the strength of the Lost Soul City-State increases, then they would consider what you did today. This way, the Spirit Weapon Realm would be spilled a lot less blood. The Spirit Weapon Realm has been in chaos for too long. It's time to end this chaos. "Zhao Hai nodded and said," I'm releasing this news today to let those people be mentally prepared. As long as we defeat the Sacred Courtyard, as long as the strength of the Lost Soul City-State increases, then they would consider what you did today. This way, the Spirit Weapon Realm would have a lot less blood.
The group nodded. They didn't say anything, but their hearts were beating faster. They believed that Zhao Hai would do what he said. The Spiritual Weapon Realm would definitely be unified one day!
