"This …" Seeing how determined City Lord Zhou was on this matter, City Lord Long and Lord Xian Heng began to panic.
Although they knew that this matter wouldn't be easy, they didn't expect it to be more complicated than they had imagined.
They had thought of many possibilities. It was not impossible for the Yungui City to send troops, but they would definitely have to put forward many conditions.
However, before they could even discuss the conditions, the other party had already blocked off their path of retreat.
City Lord Zhou's words meant that he did not have the authority to send troops, so there was no need to say anything else, as it was meaningless.
There was no need to even discuss the conditions. There was nothing more depressing than this.
"City Lord Zhou, is there really no possibility at all? We really need your help right now! "City Lord Long begged again.
"The two of you, I, Zhou, am truly unable to help you. Even if I agree to your request, it would be useless. This matter can only be resolved with the approval of our family head.
Unless our family head agrees, there is no point in finding anyone else! "Zhou Heng said as he shook his head.
He was speaking the truth; he did not have the authority to do so.
To him, their previous promises to become friends in times of adversity, friends of life and death were meaningless.
First of all, even though he was in charge of the troops stationed in the Yungui City, he did not have the authority to send troops; he only had the authority to defend the city.
In other words, he could not move these troops out of the Yungui City. At most, when the Yungui City was attacked by enemies, he would lead these troops to protect the Yungui City.
Moreover, the Cheng family was in the secular world, and their cities were protected by formations.
Moreover, with the Cheng family's current status and strength, who would dare to attack the Cheng family?
As such, their promises were completely useless. Even if he had the authority, he would not help them defeat the White City Alliance.
Moreover, with their strength, they could not even defeat the White City Alliance. If someone dared to attack the Cheng family, it would be enough to show that the other party was very powerful.
If such an enemy was not even afraid of the Cheng family, would they be afraid of the power of their cities?
That was simply a joke!
If they really wanted the Cheng family to send troops, let alone their family head, even he would not agree.
At the very least, there was no way the Cheng family would send troops for them.
"City Lord Zhou, can you please introduce us to the Cheng Family's Patriarch?" The Xian Yue City Lord asked.
Seeing how resolute City Lord Zhou was, he knew that it would be useless even if they begged City Lord Zhou to agree.
After all, City Lord Zhou didn't have the authority to mobilize these troops. It was obviously unrealistic for him to lead troops to the Cultivation World to support Hongcheng.
They weren't friends with City Lord Zhou, nor did they have any relationship. No matter how tempting City Lord Zhou was, he would never joke around with his life and future.
Therefore, they had to find someone who had the power and ability to help them. That person was the legendary patriarch of the Cheng family.
"I advise you to give up. Although I'm not the family head, I know that even if I report this matter to the family head, he won't meet you! "Zhou Heng shook his head again.
"Why is that?" City Lord Long asked in confusion.
They hadn't even tried it, so how could City Lord Zhou be so sure?
"That goes without saying! Just based on what you said just now, how could it possibly move our Patriarch?
Most importantly, this matter has nothing to do with our Cheng family in the first place. Moreover, the Cultivation World and the secular world have always minded their own business. Moreover, we don't have any relationship with each other, so our Patriarch won't send troops for you! "Zhou Heng said.
Knowing that it was impossible, how could he disturb the family head for such a thing?
If he made the family head unhappy and blamed him instead, he might even lose his position as the city lord. It wouldn't be worth it.
After all, as the city lord of Yungui City, the family head didn't give him such an important position to handle such an insignificant matter.
For the Cheng family, whether it was Hongcheng now or if it was occupied by the White City Alliance in the future, it didn't seem to have anything to do with the Cheng family, and it wouldn't cause any loss to the Cheng family.
Since that was the case, what reason did the Cheng family have to do something that didn't benefit them?
Not to mention the family head, even he wouldn't agree to it!
"City Lord Zhou, this matter isn't unrelated to the Cheng family. In fact, it's very much related. If the White City Alliance really occupies Hongcheng, your small city will definitely suffer heavy losses! "The Xian Yue City Lord said.
"Is that so? I'd like to hear the details! "Zhou Heng was somewhat disdainful.
In his opinion, the Xian Yue City Lord was deliberately exaggerating the facts in order to meet the family head.
"City Lord Zhou, you may not know this, but the White City Alliance is ambitious. Due to Yungui City's current prosperity and wealth, it has even caused a large loss of people and resources to our various cities.
Even so, we don't intend to become enemies with Yungui City and the Cheng family. So all these years, we haven't put any restrictions on the entrance, allowing everyone to come and go.
However, if Hong City were to fall into the hands of the White City Alliance, how could the White City Alliance allow such a thing to happen given their ambition?
They definitely won't let Yungui City continue to prosper like this, and will definitely think of ways to hinder the development of Yungui City.
Especially since there are so many people in Yungui City who accept missions and enter the cultivation world every day. There are also many people who come to Yungui City because of its fame.
If they put restrictions on this place, won't your small city suffer a great loss?
If they also seal this entrance, people from your small city will no longer be able to enter the cultivation world from here. Won't your small city be completely sealed then? "The Xian Yue City Lord explained.
"Yes! What you said is not without reason. However, this is just your guess. I think that even if Hongcheng is really occupied by the White City Alliance, I don't think they will do such a thing.
Once the entrance is sealed, they will only suffer greater losses! "Zhou Heng said after thinking about it.
It must be known that because there are so many people coming to the secular world now, these people must pass through Hongcheng and other places.
In this way, wouldn't there be a lot of people in Hongcheng?
If they sealed this entrance, people would be unable to enter the secular world from here in the future. Wouldn't there be no people coming to Hongcheng?
