City Lord Han and the others saw that City Lord Meng and the others had been following City Lord Zhou and seemed to have a good relationship with them. At this moment, these City Lords who did not side with the Cheng Family began to feel a little jealous.
In fact, after the White City Alliance retreated, these City Lords had gathered and met each other again.
At that time, City Lord Meng and the others even persuaded City Lord Han and the others to side with the Cheng Family.
However, at that time, everyone's crisis had been resolved. How could they choose to be controlled by others?
Moreover, they were also afraid that they would anger the Dynasty. If they attracted the Dynasty's attention, they would really be courting death.
Of course, they had other plans in mind. Since City Lords Meng and the others had already sided with the Cheng Family, they felt that the Dynasty would definitely cause trouble for them. Therefore, they were actually looking forward to a good show.
In their opinion, even if they had the protection of the Cheng Family, the Cheng Family might still fight with the Dynasty. That would be really interesting.
Perhaps the conflict between the two major forces would even benefit small fish and shrimps like them.
However, what they did not expect was that in the past year, news of the Cheng Family building new cities all over the place was leaked. Even so, they still did not see the Dynasty appear.
In fact, some of these City Lords even secretly sent letters to the Dynasty, describing how the Cheng Family was bullying the nearby cities and how they were expanding their forces into the Cultivation World.
They thought that the Dynasty would cause trouble for the Cheng Family, but they were still disappointed. It was as if the Dynasty had disappeared from the world.
Although the people of the Dynasty were still around, after all, they did not receive a reply from the Dynasty, nor did they see the people of the Dynasty coming to cause trouble for the Cheng Family.
This was very puzzling. What was going on with the Dynasty?
The Cheng Family was already at their doorstep, but the Dynasty still turned a blind eye to it. This was really puzzling.
Later on, they heard that the Dynasty was quite arrogant and occupied cities all over the place. Therefore, there was a saying that the Dynasty was exhausted because of the Dynasty.
At first, they did not believe it, but gradually, they began to believe it.
After all, if that was not the case, why would the Dynasty allow the Cheng Family to continue expanding?
Since the dynasty did not show up, not only would Cheng Clan be safe, even Meng City and the other cities that had submitted to Cheng Clan would be safe as well.
However, what annoyed them even more was that Meng Cheng had already announced to the public that they would be under the protection of the Cheng family, which was equivalent to admitting that they had already submitted to the Cheng family.
It was also because of this news that many people who originally supported the Cheng Family had a good impression of these cities. Gradually, he discovered that these cities that had sided with the Cheng Family had become a lot more prosperous.
This made these City Lords who did not join the Cheng Family feel extremely envious. They were extremely unhappy in their hearts.
Who would have thought that such a good thing would happen to them? Not only did they not receive any punishment from the dynasty, but they also received a lot of benefits from the Cheng Family.
Originally, the appearance of the Yungui New City had nothing to do with them. However, now that the Yungui New City had appeared, it could be considered as their neighbor. They thought that no matter what, it would be more appropriate for them to show themselves.
Moreover, they could also take the opportunity to inquire about the situation of the Cheng Family. They also needed to consider whether or not they should really rely on the Cheng Family.
Currently, they did not know what the real situation of the Dynasty was like. If the Dynasty really did not care about their affairs, and relying on the Cheng Family would allow their cities to prosper, then there was no reason for them to miss such a good opportunity.
Especially when they saw Meng City and the other cities slowly prosper, they did not feel good in their hearts. They also hoped that their cities could also prosper like them.
"City Lord Han, look at them. They seem to be getting more and more used to their current status!" Several City Lords looked at City Lord Meng City and said with some jealousy.
One must know that they used to have the same status.
However, now, they seemed to have become the trusted aides of the Cheng Family. In other words, today, they were like the owners of the Yungui New City, while they were just guests.
This kind of feeling really made them feel very uncomfortable.
However, there was no other way. This was the result of their own choices.
Moreover, today, they also wanted to test the Cheng Family's intentions and see if they could obtain some benefits from the Cheng Family.
If they could obtain some benefits, then there was no reason why they could not accept the Cheng Family to rule over them.
After entering the new City Lord Mansion, everyone sat on two sides.
On one side was the guest, and on the other side was the host. This changed everyone's mood even more.
Even City Lord Bai looked at City Lord Meng City and the others with a thoughtful expression on his face.
"Today, I, Zhou, am very happy that all of you are here to attend the opening ceremony of the Yungui New City. I am also very grateful to all of you. Come, let me propose a toast to all of you!" City Lord Zhou said happily as he raised his wine glass.
"Congratulations, City Lord Zhou!" The crowd also raised their wine glasses and said with a smile.
During the banquet, City Lord Zhou arranged for some singers and dancers to perform. Although the performance was very exciting, some people seemed to be absent-minded and did not pay much attention to it.
"Is everyone not satisfied with their performance? Why do you all look so gloomy? "City Lord Zhou clapped his hands to dismiss the performers and said to City Lord Bai and the others.
Upon hearing City Lord Zhou's words, the crowd looked at each other. Although they had something to say, they were too embarrassed to say it out loud.
"City Lord Zhou, to be honest, apart from congratulating City Lord Zhou on the opening of the new city, I also have something to discuss with you." City Lord Bai was the first to speak after some thought.
"Oh? What does City Lord Bai want to discuss with me? "City Lord Zhou asked.
"Can I ask City Lord Zhou to step aside so that we can discuss this in private?" City Lord Bai asked as he looked at the crowd.
Although he had a plan in mind, he did not want anyone else to know about it.
"In that case, please wait here for a moment. I would like to speak to City Lord Bai in private!" City Lord Zhou thought for a moment and did not reject the offer.
Hence, City Lord Zhou brought City Lord Bai to a side hall, causing the remaining people to look at each other in bewilderment. They did not know what City Lord Bai was up to this time. Was he going to do something bad to them?
