"City Lord Zhou, since you know that our City Lord is backed by the dynasty, you should also understand that if we really submit to your Cheng Family, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Therefore, please forgive us, City Lord Zhou. It's not that we don't want to, but we don't dare to offend the dynasty! "Vice City Lord Meng said.
"City Lord Zhou, Vice City Lord Meng is right. It's not that we don't want to, but we don't dare to offend the dynasty.
Although you just said that we don't need to worry about the dynasty, if we really submit to the Cheng Family, even if the dynasty wants to cause trouble, they will only cause trouble for us, not your Cheng Family! "City Lord Huang said.
The Cheng Family was so powerful that even if the dynasty wanted to cause trouble, they might not dare to do it to the Cheng Family.
They couldn't even deal with the White City Alliance, let alone the dynasty.
"I can naturally understand your feelings. However, it doesn't matter whether you believe in our Cheng Family or not. Right now, there are only two paths in front of you.
One is to submit to our Cheng Family. Both the White City Alliance and the dynasty will be handled by our Cheng Family.
As for the other option, let the White City Alliance take your city. When that time comes, it will be up to you to decide what happens to you! "Zhou Heng was not in a hurry when he saw that none of them had agreed to the family head's conditions.
"This …" Everyone's heart skipped a beat. This City Lord Zhou was really putting them in a difficult position.
It seemed that if they chose not to agree to the Cheng Family's conditions, they might just leave.
"City Lord Zhou, if we don't agree, are we going to leave just like that?" City Lord Guang asked.
"Of course. After all, this is not our Cheng Family's territory. Now that Hong City is a land of war, we certainly don't want to bring trouble to ourselves.
We have given you a chance, but you'd better choose quickly. If we don't show up, the White City Alliance will think that we have left, and they won't wait for you to show up before attacking the city! "City Lord Zhou said with a smile.
"City Lord Zhou, the Cheng Family's Patriarch's condition is too difficult. Is there really no way to compromise?
Or, we can give the control of the entrance to the secular world to your Cheng Family. That way, your Cheng Family won't have to worry about someone doing harm to your Cheng Family at the entrance of the cultivation world!
We just need you to help us drive the White City Alliance away. How about it? "Vice City Lord Meng said.
This was what the Xian Yue City Lord had once told him. He didn't know if this would work, but he really had no other choice.
If they didn't agree to the Cheng family's conditions, the Cheng family wouldn't care about their lives.
Therefore, he could only settle for the next best thing. He did not expect the Cheng Family to protect them all the time. He just wanted them to drive the White City Alliance away.
As long as the White City Alliance returned, they could at least find a way to contact the dynasty and ask for their protection, even if they had to pay a little more tribute.
After all, joining the Cheng Family might seem safe, but once the dynasty was in trouble, they would be in deep trouble. This was not a long-term solution!
At the very least, he didn't believe City Lord Zhou when he said that he didn't need to worry about the dynasty. How was that possible?
If it weren't for them staying here, it would already be good enough for the Cheng Clan to take care of the secular world. How could there be so many experts stationed in their twenty cities?
As long as the Cheng family left, they could be punished by the dynasty at any time!
Therefore, they could only hope that the Cheng Family could temporarily help them get through this crisis!
"Control over the entrance? Do you think anyone would dare to make things difficult for the Cheng Family at the entrance? Or does Hong City have the guts? "Zhou Heng couldn't help but sneer.
The fact that Hong City gave them the control over the entrance was too ridiculous.
Although the entrance was indeed within Hong City's territory, in reality, people could freely enter and exit like this.
This was because before the rise of the Cheng Family or before the people in the Cultivation World lost interest in the secular world, no one would care about these entrances. Many entrances were even unguarded.
Back then, because Kunlun also had a station in the secular world, they often went in and out of the Cultivation World and the secular world.
Since Kunlun also had an entrance in the Cultivation World, they would naturally send people to guard it. However, most of the entrances in the Cultivation World were basically unguarded.
On the other hand, even if the entrance was within your sphere of influence, whether you could guard it or not would depend on your own strength.
Take the entrance of Hong City for example. In the past, almost no one went in and out of that place, so naturally, no one would be sent to guard it.
But now, because of the Cheng Family, this place had become a place with a lot of people.
Of course, Hong City also saw the benefits, but the Cheng Family was too strong.
Now, so many big forces in the Cultivation World had been annexed by the Cheng Family. Even a powerful force like the Mysterious Sky Sect couldn't do anything to the Cheng Family. Instead, they were defeated by the Cheng Family.
How could they dare to guard the entrance and offend the Cheng Family?
Although they didn't dare to offend the Cheng Family, there were always some bold ones, such as the White City Alliance.
"City Lord Zhou, please don't misunderstand. Our Hong City has always minded our own business with the Cheng Family, and we have never been enemies with them.
However, if the Cheng Family just leaves now, we won't be able to control the entrance. When the time comes, the White City Alliance will occupy Hong City. Who knows whether they will control the entrance or not. After all, whether it is in terms of strength or ambition, the White City Alliance is incomparable to us! "Vice City Lord Meng said.
Although he wasn't sure if the White City Alliance would really dare to do so, it wasn't impossible.
Moreover, at this time, the most important thing for him to do was to convince the experts of the Cheng Family to help Hong City.
"Let's not talk about whether the White City Alliance really has the guts to do so. Even if they really want to control the entrance, do you think we need to worry about this with the strength of the Cheng Family?" Zhou Heng said disdainfully.
If it was a dynasty, they might not be able to deal with it. If it was just the White City Alliance, he didn't think they had the ability to control the entrance.
"This … this, there are always accidents. Even if they can't control it, they might just seal the entrance!" Deputy City Lord Meng said after a pause.
Given the Cheng Family's strength, if the White City Alliance really dared to make things difficult for those who entered and left, the Cheng Family would definitely take action.
