Although they had been sent by the Outer Emperor to protect Blue Heart City, they weren't doing it for free. As long as it wasn't a big deal, they wouldn't intervene.
Moreover, even if something big happened and they had to intervene, they would still receive a certain amount of benefits. If there were no benefits, there was nothing to discuss.
It had been a long time since anything big had happened in Blue Heart City, so this wasn't a good thing for them. After all, if nothing big happened, they wouldn't be able to obtain more benefits from Lan Jiang.
Although they would also receive benefits from Lan Jiang every year, this amount of benefits was too little for them. Moreover, these benefits were given once a year, so the interval between each payment was too long.
Therefore, they really hoped that something big would happen in Blue Heart City from time to time. That way, their days would be more comfortable.
Of course, compared to when they were in the Outer Emperor Dynasty, being sent to Blue Heart City was indeed a lucrative job. As for them collecting a fee from Lan Jiang, the Outer Court turned a blind eye to it.
Therefore, when they saw that the West Gate and the City Lord's Mansion were in an emergency, they weren't anxious at all. Instead, they became even more excited.
The City Lord's Mansion was in an emergency, which meant that they had even more benefits to collect.
However, although they were very happy, they still sent people out to inquire about the situation first. Although they were a little arrogant sometimes, they weren't ignorant.
No matter what happened to the City Lord's Mansion, they had to understand it first. Moreover, they were also very curious about the situation. What actually caused the West Gate and the City Lord's Mansion to be in an emergency at the same time?
Could it be that the Dragon Eagle Dynasty had launched another attack? If that was the case, it would be interesting.
For them, ordinary people really couldn't arouse their excitement. The only ones who could be their opponents were the Dragon Hawk Imperial Court.
Blue Heart City had originally been taken from the Dragon Eagle Dynasty, so it was very normal for them to take it back now. It was also in order to guard against the Dragon Eagle Dynasty that the Dragon Eagle Dynasty had sent them here.
Sure enough, very soon, the City Lord's Mansion's guards ran over.
"Senior, the City Lord's Mansion is in an emergency. The City Lord is requesting assistance from all of you!" When the guard saw the crowd, he knelt on the ground anxiously.
"What happened to the City Lord's Mansion?" The old man in the lead asked calmly as he looked at the person kneeling before him.
The people they had sent to inquire about the situation had not returned yet, but the people from the City Lord's Mansion had arrived first.
"Our City Lord's Mansion was attacked by three black-robed men. More than half of the City Lord's Mansion's people are dead or injured!" the guard said anxiously.
"Three black-robed men? How strong are they? "The old man said indifferently.
To be honest, even if the City Lord's Mansion was destroyed, it wouldn't have much to do with them. To the dynasty, if the City Lord's Mansion was destroyed, they would just have to support a new City Lord.
However, in order to protect the reputation and prestige of their empire, it was best that they did not allow the City Lord's Mansion to be destroyed. After all, if they couldn't even protect a City Governor, how would outsiders view their empire?
Did they think that the dynasty was so cold-blooded? If that was the case, then all the City Lords in the outer court would be bitterly disappointed. In the future, it would be difficult to make these city lords loyal to their dynasty.
Therefore, although they didn't really care about the City Lord's life, it was still best to protect them. After all, the current Lan Jiang was quite obedient, so they were not willing to change the position of City Lord.
"I'm not too sure, but the City Lord said that these three people are likely to be in the late Great Vehicle Realm, and even …" The guard fell silent halfway through his sentence.
"Even what?" The old man said with some dissatisfaction.
"City Lord, these people have even broken through the late Great Vehicle Realm and reached the Crossing Tribulation Realm!" The guard said with some fear.
Although he was also a cultivator, in his eyes, the Great Ascension Stage was already out of reach. In his opinion, the Crossing Tribulation Realm was a legendary existence.
This was because only cultivators who successfully crossed the tribulation could be considered to be in the Crossing Tribulation Realm, and such experts could be said to be quasi-immortals. As long as the Spiritual Qi in their bodies was converted to Immortal Spiritual Qi, they could ascend to the Immortal Realm.
Therefore, when he thought about these real top experts attacking the City Lord's Mansion, he trembled.
"Crossing Tribulation Realm? How is that possible? "Not only the old man, but all the experts present were speechless.
In the past, even when the Dragon Hawk Dynasty sent people to attack Blue Heart City, they never sent people in the Crossing Tribulation Realm. Now, three experts in the Crossing Tribulation Realm had come to attack the city. This was too unbelievable. Could it be that the Dragon Hawk Dynasty was determined to take back Blue Heart City?
However, although the appearance of experts in the Crossing Tribulation Realm shocked them, they were only shocked.
This was because they also had experts in the Crossing Tribulation Realm here, and there were three of them. This was also a precaution that the King of Xiaohai had made to prevent the Dragon Hawk Dynasty from attacking.
At first, they thought that the King of Xiaohai was too cautious. After all, experts in the Crossing Tribulation Realm generally targeted the Immortal Realm. Secular disputes rarely attracted their attention.
Even if something big happened, these experts in the Crossing Tribulation Realm might not be willing to help. Their speculation was normal. They had been in Blue Heart City for so many years. Although the Dragon Hawk Dynasty had also sent experts to attack Blue Heart City, the strongest expert sent was only in the late Great Vehicle Realm.
Therefore, these three experts in the Crossing Tribulation Realm had not shown up since they came here.
"Nonsense, how could there be experts in the Crossing Tribulation Realm attacking the city? Let's go and see! "They naturally did not believe that there would be experts in the Crossing Tribulation Realm coming to Blue Heart City.
In their eyes, no matter how strong these people were, they were only in the late Great Vehicle Realm. It was not difficult for them to deal with three experts in the late Great Vehicle Realm.
Therefore, under the leadership of the old man, a group of people in the hall directly rushed to the City Lord's Mansion.
Now that something big had happened in the City Lord's Mansion, all the people in the vicinity of the City Lord's Mansion had fled.
Inside the City Lord's Mansion, there were screams everywhere, accompanied by loud noises. This was the sound of fighting.
Although Lan Jiang was only in the late Body Integration Realm, this did not mean that there were no experts in the City Lord's Mansion at the Great Vehicle Realm.
After all, experts in the Great Vehicle Realm also needed to cultivate, and their cultivation also needed a lot of resources. Not all experts in the Great Vehicle Realm had their own sects. Many individual cultivators were alone.
Many times, they had to rely on some big forces for resources. Moreover, in general, the status of these forces was very high, and the resources were quite abundant.
Therefore, they were also happy to stay and become guests. This was just a mutual benefit.
Therefore, there were also many experts in the City Lord's Mansion. Most of the time, they, as guests, did not have any important things to deal with here. Most of the time, they just played the role of deterrence.
But now, they regretted it. They never thought that one day they would encounter enemies in the Crossing Tribulation Realm.
