"City Lord, this may not be unrelated to us!" The follower said cautiously.
"What do you mean?" The middle-aged man frowned.
"City Lord, the Cheng family is developing too fast. Although our forces are far away from the Cheng family, as the Cheng family's power continues to expand, it is inevitable that they will want to develop in the cultivation world.
It must be known that the secular world is too small. Moreover, the head of the Cheng family has always been protecting the secular world, not allowing any cultivators to disturb the secular world.
Therefore, if the Cheng family really wants to grow, there is almost no other way but to develop in the cultivation world.
But in this way, these cities that are close to the secular world may be the first to be annexed.
After that, their direction may involve us, so the City Lord must not be careless! "The follower said.
"This …" The middle-aged man was stunned.
Obviously, the follower's words were very reasonable.
The Cheng family's development was so fast that when he came to the secular world this time, he had already visited all the other small cultivation cities.
Almost every small cultivation city was so lively and prosperous. Even if they did not reach the level of prosperity of Yungui City, they were not too far behind.
Although the size of these small cultivation cities was not as big as the third-grade city in his hands, in terms of prosperity, even the first-grade city he was stationed in could not compare at all.
Perhaps it was because these small cultivation cities were too small that it was easier for everyone to gather together.
Although there was such a factor, hearing the follower's words really made him feel a sense of urgency.
These small cultivation cities may not be able to satisfy the Cheng family in the future.
It must be known that the Cheng family was not the only force that was developing in the secular world. There were also the subsidiary forces that had already submitted to the Cheng family, and they were also developing rapidly.
Obviously, under the protection of the Cheng family, these forces had completely made up for the losses caused by the Mysterious Sky Sect in the past few years in the secular world.
A small secular world had gathered so many forces. If they continued to develop like this, even if the entire secular world was taken out, it would not be enough for them to develop.
Therefore, going out of the secular world and returning to the cultivation world was the most realistic way for them.
But now, the Cheng family's weight in the hearts of all cultivators was becoming more and more important.
At that time, if the Cheng Clan really started to annex the cities in the Cultivation World, those cities that were annexed by them would definitely be as prosperous as the small cultivation cities now.
In this case, not to mention whether the Cheng Clan would expand into their territory, even if they didn't expand into their territory, the prosperity of the cities occupied by the Cheng Clan would still affect their power.
Thinking of this, he also began to feel nervous.
But no one can stop the expansion of the Cheng family. Even if we know that they really have such a plan, there is nothing we can do! The middle-aged man said.
Although he had a lot of power in his hands, he didn't dare to act recklessly in this small cultivation city.
Otherwise, why would he spend so much money to auction the Cultivation Pills?
He could just snatch it.
The problem was that there were too many masters in the Cheng family. There were four masters at the Crossing Calamity Stage in the auction house. How could he dare to act recklessly?
Therefore, he was still very fearful of the Cheng Family's influence.
Even if he knew that the Cheng Family wanted to expand into his territory, he had no way to stop them!
"That might not be the case, City Lord. Actually, it doesn't matter if the Cheng Family wants to expand. The most important thing is that we can't let them expand into our territory!
Therefore, if we have a way to stop them from expanding into our territory, wouldn't it be better? "The follower laughed.
"You make it sound so simple. It's not up to us to decide where the Cheng Family wants to expand.
Moreover, with so many small cultivation cities, the Cheng Family can almost develop in the direction of the mission! "The middle-aged man said impatiently.
"City Lord, it is precisely because they control so many small cultivation cities that they have a lot of choices.
If the exit of Hongcheng is their only path of development, then we will really be in trouble.
But if we can seal the exit of Hongcheng, then the Cheng Family can only develop into other exits, right? "The follower laughed.
Seal the exit of Hongcheng? How is that possible? Let's not talk about the fact that Hongcheng isn't our power. Even if it is, we don't have the ability to seal the exit, right? "The middle-aged man said.
"Hongcheng isn't within our sphere of influence, but with the strength of the City Lord, we can completely turn it into our sphere of influence.
As for sealing the exit, I can start recruiting some formation masters who are proficient in sealing.
In any case, the Cheng Family hasn't reached that step yet, so we still have time.
However, we can first take over a few cities in Hongcheng and control the exit.
When that time comes, as long as we find a formation master, we can directly seal the exit. We can naturally sit back and relax, and we won't have to worry about the Cheng Family expanding in our direction, "the follower said.
"There are dozens of cities around Hongcheng. Although they all have their own city lords, if we want to expand in this direction, they can join forces to resist us at any time.
It's not like you don't know the situation here. It's not as simple as you say it is! "The middle-aged man shook his head.
Back then, he had also thought about expanding the territory of his cities, but annexing a city wasn't a simple matter.
This was a matter that required a lot of manpower and money. If he really annexed a city, it would be a huge loss to him.
The reason why he was able to control ten cities now was because he had spent many years of effort.
Moreover, the various cities around Hongcheng had already formed an alliance to resist the expansion of his power.
More importantly, his power wasn't directly adjacent to Hongcheng. There were still a few cities between them.
In other words, if he wanted to occupy Hongcheng, he had to first occupy those cities.
If he really did that, the other cities would have already formed strong resistance.
To him, the loss would be extremely huge. Even if he forcibly annexed Hongcheng in the end, the loss would be inestimable.
"City Lord, although it's a little difficult, we have no choice but to do this now. If the Cheng Family really wants to expand, then we really won't be able to control them.
Thinking about it, the Cheng Family now had so many forces and experts.
If they want to expand into the cultivation world and occupy Hongcheng, they will be much faster than us.
