"City Lord Zhou, it's normal for you to think that way because you don't understand the White City Alliance.
The White City Alliance was able to develop to where it is today because of their great ambition. They already have 12 cities, but they are still not satisfied, so they attacked and occupied our cities.
Even if they don't seal the entrance, the White City Alliance will continue to expand their power. When the time comes, it's hard to say whether they won't affect the interests of Yungui City.
But we are different. As long as the Cheng Family is willing to help us this time, we can even cooperate with Yungui City and let Yungui City obtain more benefits. Isn't this the best of both worlds? "When the Xian Yue City Lord saw that City Lord Zhou didn't care about his words, he once again increased the intensity of his words.
This was the way of negotiating. It was impossible to state one's bottom line right from the start.
As long as he understood the other party's intentions through continuous conversation, he would appropriately release some benefits.
"What kind of cooperation?" City Lord Zhou asked curiously.
"Let's not talk about anything else. At least I think that although the Cheng Family has set up a formation to protect the entrance to the secular world, they can't see the situation in the cultivation world.
So if an enemy appears, it will be difficult for you to discover it immediately.
But you don't want to spend too much energy and financial resources to build another formation in the cultivation world and send people to guard the entrance to the cultivation world.
If we can cooperate with the Cheng Family and help you send people to guard here, even if an enemy wants to enter the secular world in the future, we will definitely notify you immediately. Won't you be safer that way? "The Xian Yue City Lord said after thinking for a while.
"City Lord Zhou, if you are really willing to help us drive away the White City Alliance Army, we can always maintain a friendly relationship with the Cheng Family, and even act as the Cheng Family's eyes in the cultivation world.
Although the Cheng Family is indeed developing very quickly and is very powerful, it is inevitable that there will be people who have ideas about the Cheng Family.
We have more than 20 cities on our side, and the area is very large.
If a force is unfavorable to the Cheng Family, we can definitely notify the Cheng Family immediately. This kind of cooperation should be much easier and more convenient than your careful defense, right? "City Lord Long added after hearing the Xian Yue City Lord's thoughts.
Zhou Heng thought for a while and said, "Well, what you said is not unreasonable. I can talk to the Family Lord about this!"
In fact, the Cheng family could have done it themselves.
But in this way, the Cheng Family would have to waste a lot of manpower and resources.
More importantly, if enemies really came to attack the Cheng family, it would not be safe for their people to stay in the Cultivation World.
At that time, even if the people stationed there were secretly killed by a powerful enemy, they wouldn't even know.
It was also for this reason that the Cheng Family had always been on strict guard in the secular world. They had to check and verify the people who entered the secular world several times.
If these cities were willing to do this for the Cheng Clan, not only would they be able to help the Cheng Clan check everyone's identity in advance, but at the very least, they would be able to serve as a warning when the enemy attacks. This was much better than having the Cheng Clan take the risk of being stationed in the Cultivation Realm.
"So, City Lord Zhou agrees to introduce Patriarch Cheng to us?" The two were delighted to hear City Lord Zhou's words.
"I can report your matter to our Family Lord, but it's hard to say whether the Family Lord will meet you at that time!" City Lord Zhou said.
"Of course, as long as City Lord Zhou can report this matter to your Family Lord, we will be very grateful!" City Lord Zhou said happily.
"I also know that your situation is urgent now. In that case, let's not delay and go to the Cheng Clan now!" City Lord Zhou stood up and said.
"City Lord Zhou is indeed a straightforward person. I admire you!" City Lord Xian Yue said with a smile.
Seeing City Lord Zhou so enthusiastic, he was naturally even happier.
After all, Hong City was in an urgent situation. If they didn't find Patriarch Cheng and settle the matter, when they returned, they would only be greeted by the flames of war of the White City Alliance.
Zhou Heng didn't say much and directly led the two to the Cheng Clan.
For him, this matter wasn't that important. However, if he could really get these cities to use as the Cheng Clan's defense line in the Cultivation World, it would be a good thing.
Since there was profit to be gained, he could go to discuss with the Family Lord.
What's more, this matter wasn't something that he could make the decision on. Everything had to be decided by the Family Lord.
It didn't take long to reach the Cheng Clan from the small city of Yungui County. He quickly led the two into the Cheng Clan, which naturally made the two sigh.
Obviously, it was the first time they had seen such an immortal place.
Although their own City Lord's Mansion was also very spectacular, how could it be compared to the style of the Cheng Clan?
In the past, although the Cheng Clan had a large territory, they had very few people.
But now, the 36 peaks of the Cheng Clan were basically full of people. Now, the Cheng Clan was a real big clan.
Seeing that the Cheng Clan was also so lively, they couldn't help but feel a little envious.
This kind of place was really a bit like a paradise on earth, especially since the people here were so rich in Spiritual Qi. It was actually much more abundant than the Spiritual Qi in the Cultivation World. It was really a paradise.
"Wait here for a while, I'll go and see the Family Lord!" Zhou Heng led the two to the meeting hall and said.
As the mayor of a small city in Yungui County, their status in the Cheng family was actually quite high.
At the very least, their statuses were on par with the elders of the Cheng Family. For many important matters, they would even come to the meeting hall to discuss with the elders. From this, one could see how high their statuses were.
Therefore, he didn't need to go through the trouble of meeting the Family Head. He could just look for the Family Head directly.
"City Lord Xian Yue, do you think the Cheng Family's Patriarch will agree to help us?" Sitting in the Cheng Family's meeting hall, City Lord Long was somewhat nervous.
To be honest, although he was the lord of a city and seemed to have a noble status, he was not a Saint.
But when he came to the Cheng Family, he felt that his identity as the City Lord was not worth mentioning anymore.
Compared to the Cheng Family, what did their City Lord's Mansion count for?
Now, they could feel how powerful the Cheng Clan was. It wasn't as simple as just a few small cultivation cities.
At the thought of facing that legendary figure in a while, his heart became even more nervous.
