Although Long City was only a second-class city, it wasn't small. It wasn't something that Long City could set up with its current strength.
Judging from their current situation, they could only look for the Cheng Family as their new backer.
After all, the Cheng Clan had set up powerful array formations all over the small cultivation city.
Long City was bigger than any small cultivation city, but the Cheng family was so powerful that they should have the ability to do so.
However, this was all in the future.
Now that they had just obtained the protection of the Cheng Family, they believed that no one would be so bold as to attack Long City right after the Cheng Family drove away the White City Alliance.
Moreover, in order to ask the Cheng Family to set up such a large array formation, not to mention how much resources they would have to give the Cheng Family, setting up the array formation itself would require a lot of resources.
Now that Long City had just been plundered by the White City Alliance, how could they afford the resources to set up the city-protecting formation?
As for the Xian Yue City Lord, when he brought City Lord Zhou and the others to the Xian Yue City, the people of the White City Alliance had already left, just like in Long City.
Perhaps it was because the Immortal Moon City was closer to the White City Alliance. As long as they left the city, they would not be far from the territory of the White City Alliance.
Therefore, the extent of their destruction of Xian Yue City was obviously much more serious than that of Long City.
Seeing the Xian Yue City in such a state, the Xian Yue City Lord's face also turned livid.
Even though the Immemorial Moon City finally returned to his hands, this loss was also too great.
In this war, the White City Alliance's Immemorial Moon City had suffered the greatest loss.
"City Lord Zhou, my Nether Moon City is the closest to the White City Alliance, and it's also the gateway to the other cities. Can the Cheng Clan leave a few experts to preside over the Xian Yue City? "Xian Yue City Lord asked City Lord Zhou as he looked at the dilapidated Xian Yue City.
"In order to prevent the White City Alliance from harming the Fairy Moon City again after we leave, I can temporarily let them stay in the Fairy Moon City.
However, whether or not I want you to stay in the Xian Yue City for a long time, I will have to go back and report the situation to the Patriarch before I can give you an answer! "City Lord Zhou said after thinking for a while.
Indeed, this Nether Moon City's location was special.
If they were able to leave behind some experts to hold down the fort in the Immortal Moon City, it would be quite beneficial to the Cheng Clan.
This was because if people from other cities wanted to reach Hong City and enter Yungui City from that entrance, they would basically have to pass through Xian Yue City.
Therefore, guarding Xian Yue City was also very beneficial to the Cheng Clan's protection of the secular world.
However, in the eyes of the Cheng Clan, Hong City was still more important than Xian Yue City.
This was because their cities were also very wide. If one wanted to go from the White City Alliance to Hong City and then enter the secular world, the shortest route was through the Immortal Moon City.
However, this did not mean that this was the only way.
There were also other cities that could be entered, but the cities they guarded weren't the White City Alliance's cities.
This was also why the White City Alliance had attacked from the Xian Yue City.
Because if they came from other cities, those places weren't within the White City Alliance's sphere of influence. Other cities or alliances naturally wouldn't allow the White City Alliance's army to enter and attack Hong City.
Moreover, the White City Alliance was operating in secret.
If other alliances found out that they had raised troops to attack Hong City, wouldn't they be asking for trouble? Wouldn't they be afraid that others wouldn't know that the White City Alliance's border cities were already empty of troops?
Therefore, Xian Yue City only guarded the White City Alliance's direction, but it couldn't guard other directions.
However, Hong City was different. No matter which direction they came from, the entrance to the secular world was near Hong City.
Therefore, if an enemy wanted to enter the secular world, they would definitely have to come to Hong City.
Therefore, as long as the Cheng Clan sent experts to guard Hong City, it was equivalent to guarding all the portals.
If they sent people to guard Xian Yue City now, what if an enemy attacked Hong City from other places?
Did that mean that they would have to send more people to other cities to guard the various portals?
This would obviously cause the Cheng Clan's experts to continuously disperse. Moreover, these cities were too far away from Hong City.
If a large number of experts really attacked, the Cheng Clan's experts wouldn't even have the time or opportunity to escape back to the Cheng Clan.
Guarding Hong City was different, as the entrance was near Hong City. Even if Hong City encountered a powerful enemy, they could definitely retreat to Yungui City as soon as possible if they couldn't beat them. It would be absolutely safe there.
City Lord Zhou was well aware of the situation.
However, the war had just ended, and Xian Yue City was indeed somewhat unsafe. Therefore, it wouldn't be too dangerous to let these people stay in Xian Yue City for the time being.
After all, the White City Alliance's strength was limited, and it wasn't an enemy that the Cheng Clan couldn't resist.
However, based on his understanding of the Clan Lord, the Clan Lord probably wouldn't agree to let these people stay in Xian Yue City for a long time. After this period of time, they would eventually return to Hong City.
"Thank you, City Lord Zhou!" Obviously, the Xian Yue City Lord didn't know what the Cheng Clan was thinking.
Therefore, when he heard City Lord Zhou say this, he felt that City Lord Zhou was really great.
Not only did he help them recapture the city easily, but he also sent so many experts to protect the city.
As long as the Cheng Clan Lord agreed, these Tribulation Crossing experts could stay in Xian Yue City for a long time, and Xian Yue City would really be safe.
When that time came, they wouldn't have to worry even if the people of the Dynasty came, let alone the White City Alliance's army.
In any case, after they returned to the Xian Yue City and Long City, they quickly began to rebuild the city.
However, when Governor Bai saw that his army had returned so quickly, he was overjoyed. He thought that these people had completed the task he had given them.
However, when he found out that these people had retreated in defeat, his expression turned ugly.
"Are you saying that the Cheng Clan forced you to return?" Governor Bai looked coldly at the General and Deputy General.
"City Lord, the Cheng Clan was too overbearing. Even Deputy General Qian was killed by them on the spot. They were all Tribulation Crossing experts, and we had no way of fighting them. Therefore, we could only choose to retreat.
We didn't lead the army well and failed to complete the task you gave us. Please punish us! "The General knelt on the ground and said sincerely.
"Get up first! I didn't expect the Cheng Clan to get involved in this matter. Moreover, since they sent out Tribulation Crossing experts, you chose not to fight them to the death. This is the right decision, so I have no reason to punish you! "Governor Bai said calmly.
