Although Cheng Yu saw the hostility on their faces, he didn't say anything. He wasn't interested in dealing with these people. Furthermore, there was no need for him to do so.
Of course, he knew what these people were thinking. However, there was no need for him to give them any face.
Naturally, Qing Hai also saw their expressions. However, he didn't care too much about it. After all, these people didn't give him, the city lord, any face. Since it's like this, he wanted to use this opportunity to remind them.
No matter how outstanding they were, they were still guests invited by him. Since they were guests, they had to listen to him. If these guests couldn't be of use to him, there was no need for him to pay such a huge price to support them.
However, Cheng Yu was different. As long as he needed help, no matter when he went to look for him, Cheng Yu would always agree politely. Obviously, Cheng Yu was a lot more tactful and gave him a lot of face.
And what he wanted was precisely this kind of guest. Therefore, he wanted to raise Cheng Yu's position in the city lord's mansion. If these guests wanted to receive his favor, they had to listen to him first.
"Everyone, now that the east gate has been attacked, it's very likely that Ru City has launched another attack on our Cyanwood City. However, the attack this time is a lot more dangerous than half a year ago. Therefore, I've gathered all of you here at such a late hour. I hope that everyone can help us resolve this crisis. Now, let's go! "Qing Hai didn't give them any chance to reject.
He was very clear that if he were to talk to them with a tone of discussion, the east gate would have already been destroyed and they would have to continue to refuse.
However, he didn't give them the chance to do so. He explained the situation to them and led the way.
Cheng Yu didn't say anything and was the first to follow beside Qing Hai.
The others looked at each other. Although they were dissatisfied with Qing Hai's attitude tonight, they were still guests invited by Qing Hai. However, they were, after all, guests invited by Qinghai, and the resources they usually needed were provided by Qinghai.
Unless it was absolutely necessary, they didn't wish to fall out with Qing Hai.
After all, before they became Qing Hai's guest, they were all rogue cultivators. As a rogue cultivator, they knew how difficult it was for them to gather enough resources for their cultivation.
Especially when they had reached their current realm. As their strength continued to increase, the resources they needed would also increase. If they didn't have a reliable source of resources, they wouldn't be able to enjoy their current good days.
Because they needed a lot of resources, when they were rogue cultivators, they spent most of their time looking for resources. Even if they collected some resources, it would not be enough for them to cultivate for a long time.
However, ever since he became a guest elder of Qinghai, he never had to worry about a shortage of resources. This was also why they were willing to be guests in a small city lord's mansion even though they had such strength.
Because the days of independent cultivators weren't easy, they were living a carefree life. No matter what resources they needed for cultivation, Qinghai would do his best to satisfy them.
Therefore, they didn't want to lose this iron rice bowl just because of this.
Everyone just couldn't bear to see Cheng Yu acting like a good person. Especially when they saw how Qing Hai treated Cheng Yu very well. When they heard that the resources Qing Hai had prepared for Cheng Yu was even better than them, it caused them to be even more unhappy.
However, no matter how dissatisfied they were, they still had to give Qing Hai face.
Of course, whether he would make a move or not would depend on how strong his opponent was. If the opponent was too strong, they didn't want to lose their lives for some resources.
After all, no matter how good the resources were, they still needed to be alive to enjoy it.
Especially when they reached their position, they cherished their lives very much.
Since Qing Hai thinks so highly of this surnamed Hu, then when the time comes, let this brat take the lead! An initial stage Great Ascension Stage guest elder seemed to have already seen through everyone's thoughts, so he said with a smile.
What Mr. Tang said is reasonable. Since he likes to be in the limelight so much, then let him go! The others smiled knowingly. Guest Elder Tang's words had really struck a chord in their hearts.
Since this surnamed Hu had gotten more resources than them, then it was only right for him to put in more effort.
When Cheng Yu and the others arrived at the east gate, Qing Hai's complexion was ashen because the east gate was filled with the corpses of the city guards. Fortunately, the city gate did not suffer much damage. As long as someone was sent to guard the city gate, it would be fine.
"Guards!" Qing Hai shouted.
A guard quickly ran over and cupped his fist, City Lord!
"Tell me! What the hell is going on? Did the people from Ru City attack? Qing Hai said with a cold face.
City Lord, we are not sure. All the people who were guarding the east gate are dead. When we rushed over, we didn't see anyone attacking the city gate The guard said helplessly.
So these people have already entered the city? Hearing the guard's words, Qing Hai's complexion turned even worse.
Although they didn't know the identity of the enemy, he was very sure that it was someone sent by Xiao Hai. This Xiao Hai was really getting more and more arrogant. He actually sent people to attack the city so openly.
We don't know. Perhaps they have already left! The guard thought for a moment and said.
He felt that if these people entered the city, they would definitely die. Therefore, he felt that since these people attacked the city, they could only leave quickly to protect their lives.
Mr. Hu, what do you think? Did these people enter the city or go back? Qing Hai frowned and asked.
It's impossible for them to go back just like that. If they only attacked the east gate and ran away, then there's no need to make such a big movement. Therefore, in my opinion, these people should have entered the city. Cheng Yu said.
Of course, he knew that these people were in the city. However, at this moment, it didn't matter whether what he said was true or false because he had enough confidence that no one would be able to catch them.
I'm afraid that might not be the case. Perhaps, these people were only here to find out the truth. There's no need for them to enter the city. Besides, even if they entered the city, what can they do? Could it be that they can kill everyone in our Cyanwood City?
Besides, since they came and left so quickly, it means that the number of people that attacked the city today wasn't a lot. Since that's the case, if they were to enter the city, they would definitely die. Instead, it would easily expose their identity.
Therefore, in my opinion, they must have killed the people and left. It's precisely because of this, they can use this to confuse us.
