Actually, the Outer King and the others had another plan. They had no idea what was going on in Cyanwood City but Cyanwood City had already announced to the world that Cyanwood City had already belonged to Xiao Hai.
Therefore, they felt that it might not be easy for them to enter Cyanwood City. Perhaps, they might not make a move against Xiao Hai.
If they were to be attacked after entering Cyanwood City, wouldn't it be telling the world, especially Dragon Eagle, that the people who attacked Cyanwood City weren't from Xiao Hai?
It was because of this, the Outer King had invited a few grand elders, hoping that they could make a trip to Cyanwood City. If those people were to stop them from taking over Cyanwood City, there would definitely be a huge battle.
If they didn't stop them, it would be the best case scenario. They could directly take over Cyanwood City.
Now, they wanted to use Zhou Ping to test the waters. They wanted to see what Cyanwood City's attitude was.
"Seniors, I am Cyanwood City's City Lord Qing Hai. Although Cyanwood City had already belonged to Xiao Hai, we are now Xiao Hai's people.
Previously, this guest of mine had killed one of Mr. Zhou's subordinates, but that was because they had different standpoints. Now that we are all Xiao Hai's people, if seniors were to allow Mr. Zhou to kill my guest, wouldn't it be bad for Xiao Hai's reputation? "When Qing Hai saw these people wanted to kill Cheng Yu, he immediately got anxious.
Although he already knew that Cheng Yu's strength was in the Late Stage of Great Ascension Realm, he could tell that these people weren't people to be trifled with. Especially that Late Stage Great Ascension Realm Zhou Ping. For him to be so respectful in front of these old men, it could be seen that these people's status and identity were very high.
No matter how powerful Cheng Yu was, it was impossible for him to be their opponent. Besides, these people represented Xiao Hai. Even if Cheng Yu could kill all of them, he couldn't do so.
Could it be that Cheng Yu still dared to go against Xiao Hai?
Therefore, he still hoped that these old men could step forward to resolve this grudge.
On Xiao Hai's side, it was especially so for those few old men. When they heard Qing Hai said that Cyanwood City had already belonged to Xiao Hai, their heart started to waver.
After all, their purpose for coming here was to take over Cyanwood City. If Cyanwood City really submitted to Xiao Hai, there was no need for them to kill a guest of the City Lord.
Moreover, Qing Hai's words made sense. Now, everyone knew that Cyanwood City belonged to Xiao Hai. If they were to kill the people from Cyanwood City just like that, it would not be good to hear about it.
However, this wasn't much of a reason to them because they didn't care about the life or death of a Foreign Delegate of the City Lord.
In fact, even if they killed Qing Hai, they wouldn't care. However, the Qing family had controlled the Cyanwood City for so many years. If they were to be killed just like that, it would not be a good thing for them to control the Cyanwood City.
Thus, they did not want to make a big fuss. It would be better for them to take over the Cyanwood City first.
"Is the City Lord here to welcome us into the city?" Elder Zhao asked as he looked at Qinghai.
"Of course. Now that the Cyan Wood City belongs to the Howling Ocean, it's inevitable that the Howling Ocean will send someone to guard the Cyan Wood City. Of course, I would like to invite you seniors into the city!" Qing Hai said respectfully.
In front of these people, he didn't dare to show any neglect. However, from what Elder Zhao had said, it seemed like he wouldn't allow Zhou Ping to kill Cheng Yu anymore. This caused him to heave a sigh of relief.
"Since it's like that, please lead the way!" Elder Zhao looked at Qing Hai. He wanted to see if what he said was true or not.
Because he wasn't sure if Qing Hai had really surrendered or if he was sent by the mastermind to lure them into the city.
"Elder Zhao, about the matter between me and him …" Zhou Ping saw that Elder Zhao had also revealed this matter, so he immediately became anxious.
"Let's talk about this matter in the future. Your disciple was killed by him because his skill was inferior. Now that the Cyanwood City belongs to the Howling Ocean, we are all on the same side. Our Howling Ocean has never killed our own people. "Elder Zhao spoke to Zhou Ping in dissatisfaction.
Compared to Zhou Ping's enmity, the control over the Cyanwood City was much more important. Killing Cheng Yu was a small matter but inciting the dissatisfaction of the Cyanwood City was a huge matter.
As long as the Cyanwood City had truly fallen into the hands of the Howling Ocean, everything would be easily resolved.
"But Elder Zhao, I'm afraid there might be a trap in the city!" Zhou Ping spoke unwillingly.
The identity and status of these people were much higher than him. Usually, they weren't even qualified to meet them. He also didn't dare to provoke them. He could only take a step back in order to advance.
"Whether there's a trap or not, I have my own judgement!" Elder Zhao didn't seem to mind at all.
Of course, this was only what he said to everyone. In his heart, he was still very vigilant towards the Cyanwood City. Others might not be clear but they were very clear that the people in the Cyanwood City weren't from the Howling Ocean. They might be Mo Luo or Tian Cang's people or even people from other dynasties.
"Seniors, please!" When Qing Hai saw that Cheng Yu was fine, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Thus, everyone entered the city just like that.
However, the people from the Howling Ocean were somewhat nervous. They didn't know what was going on behind the scenes. They even felt that the Cyanwood City was seized by them.
It was just that the few elders had reminded them to be careful after entering the city. Therefore, they didn't know what kind of danger they would encounter in the city. However, they were also very careful and even somewhat nervous.
However, the reality wasn't what they had imagined. The journey was very peaceful, as if nothing had happened.
Qing Hai didn't bring them back to the city lord's mansion. Instead, he brought them to the west side of the city. The Dragon Hawk Mansion had been destroyed in the battle previously. However, during this period of time, Qing Hai had already sent people to repair it.
Furthermore, in order to specially welcome the people from the Howling Ocean, he had even changed the signboard of the Dragon Hawk Mansion to Howling Ocean Mansion.
"Howling Ocean Mansion! Good! " When Elder Zhao saw the signboard of the mansion, he was very satisfied. His vigilance towards the Cyanwood City had also lessened.
From his point of view, what the foreign monarch had thought was normal. The masterminds behind the scenes wouldn't have any conflict with the Howling Ocean. Otherwise, everything they had done would be exposed.
"Elder Zhao, this mansion was originally the encampment of the Dragon Hawk Mansion. However, I know that from now on, the Cyanwood City belongs to the Howling Ocean. Therefore, I rearranged this place and made it the encampment of the Howling Ocean. I wonder if Elder Zhao is satisfied with this. If Elder Zhao feels that it's not suitable, I will immediately order people to find a new mansion for the few seniors and the Howling Ocean brothers! "Qing Hai said.
