"City Governor Zhou, the White City Alliance is really in trouble this time. I'm sure you've heard about it, so please help me out!" Governor Bai felt that he had finally found his savior when he saw City Governor Zhou.
In the past, the White City Alliance did not have any conflicts of interest with the other alliances, so they would not attack each other.
Even though the White City Alliance was slightly weaker, it was not something that the other alliances could easily take down.
Moreover, once the other alliances attacked the White City Alliance, they might be attacked by the other alliances as well.
Therefore, everyone could live in harmony and mind their own business.
However, the rise of the White City Alliance had affected the other alliances, which resulted in a conflict of interest.
Not only did they witness the rise of the White City Alliance, but they had also watched as the White City Alliance attracted the population of their own cities, causing them to suffer losses.
Under such circumstances, even if the other alliances knew that the White City Alliance had joined hands with a powerful force like the Cheng Family, they would still have to deal with the White City Alliance in their own way.
Now, the Cheng Family was the only one who could resolve the crisis of the White City Alliance, just like how the White City Alliance had attacked the Xian Moon City in the past.
As long as the Cheng Family was willing to lend a hand, those people would definitely not dare to cut off the White City Alliance's channel.
"I have indeed heard about the White City Alliance!" City Lord Zhou nodded and said.
"Therefore, I hope you can help me, City Lord Zhou. Otherwise, the White City Alliance will really become an empty city!" City Lord Bai said.
"I can understand City Lord Bai's decision, but those alliances have only sealed their own city gates. This is ultimately their own business. If we, the Cheng Family, were to interfere in this matter as well, wouldn't we be interfering too much? What would the other forces in the cultivation world think of the Cheng Family?
Therefore, I'm afraid that the Cheng Family will not be able to help the White City Alliance! "City Lord Zhou shook his head and said.
"But … but by doing so, they've cut off our White City Alliance's source of income. They're basically forcing us into a dead end. Is the Cheng Family really going to sit back and do nothing?" City Lord Bai said disappointedly.
He thought that the Cheng Family would definitely help him, but he did not expect that the Cheng Family would not help at all.
However, City Lord Zhou's explanation made him feel very helpless.
Just as City Lord Zhou had said, the other alliances had only sealed off the passage leading to the White City Alliance.
This was completely different from when they attacked Xian Yue City.
"If these alliances send troops to your White City Alliance, and your White City Alliance is no match for them, you can ask our Cheng Family for help. Of course, we have enough reason to send troops to help you.
But now, they only closed the door of their house. Are we going to force them to open the door of their house?
Isn't that a little too much? "City Lord Zhou explained again.
He had some understanding of the cause of this incident and the predicament that the White City Alliance was in.
However, even though the Cheng Family was powerful, what right did they have to care if others closed their doors?
Although the current situation of the White City Alliance was the same as the situation in Meng City, the Cheng family had intervened because the White City Alliance had sent troops to Meng City.
But now, even if they made the White City Alliance suffer heavy losses, they didn't have enough reason to let the alliance open their channel, right?
"Although I know that this isn't appropriate, the White City Alliance has no other choice.
These alliances have teamed up against us, so I have no choice but to ask City Lord Zhou for help.
Furthermore, if we can't overcome this crisis, the White City Alliance definitely won't be able to fork out 1.3 billion.
I also hope that City Lord Zhou can understand the current situation of our White City Alliance. We are indeed at our wits' end.
I believe the Cheng Family wouldn't want to be unable to get 1.3 billion in a year, right? "City Lord Bai was anxious when he saw that City Lord Zhou had no intention of helping the White City Alliance.
The White City Alliance had a cooperative relationship with the Cheng Family. Now that the White City Alliance had suffered a heavy blow, the White City Alliance was not the only one affected.
If the White City Alliance really could not hold on any longer, the Cheng Family would suffer a great loss too.
"City Lord Bai, you're forcing me!" City Lord Zhou said.
"City Lord Zhou, I'm definitely not forcing you. No one would dare to force you or the Cheng Family.
It's just that the White City Alliance represents the Cheng Family's interests. If the White City Alliance continues like this, the Cheng Family will definitely suffer heavy losses.
According to the situation of the White City Alliance in the past few months, it won't be a problem for us to fork out 1.3 billion in a year.
If we can cooperate for a long time, I might even be able to bring more benefits to the Cheng Family next year.
However, not only will the White City Alliance not be able to fork out 1.3 billion spirit stones, it will also cause a great loss to the Cheng Family's influence! "City Lord Bai said.
"Cause a great loss to the Cheng Family's influence? What do you mean? "City Lord Zhou frowned.
"City Lord Zhou, everyone knows that the White City Alliance has a cooperative relationship with the Cheng Family. Those alliances are obviously jealous of our cooperation with the Cheng Family, which has allowed our White City Alliance to rise so quickly.
Therefore, they should be well aware that they are working together to resist the White City Alliance.
Our White City Alliance relies on the Cheng Family to survive. Many people even say that the White City Alliance's backer is the Cheng Family.
Without the Cheng Family's support, the White City Alliance would not be as prosperous as it was today.
In fact, although this wasn't entirely true, it was the truth in the eyes of outsiders.
These alliances also know that they don't dare to offend the Cheng Family, so they didn't send troops to the White City Alliance. They only sealed their city gates.
However, no matter what methods they use, as long as they successfully curb the rise of the White City Alliance, wouldn't that be a slap in the face to the Cheng Family?
Everyone thinks that the White City Alliance has sided with the Cheng Family, or that we have found a backer in the Cheng Family.
However, now that these alliances want to destroy the White City Alliance, the Cheng Family doesn't do anything, or rather, they don't dare to help us.
What will the world think of the Cheng Family in this way?
Everyone will think that the Cheng Family is too inconsiderate. If they can't even protect their own allies, who else would be willing to cooperate with them in the future?
The Cheng Family is so famous that any cooperation with the Cheng Family will incur the displeasure of the surrounding alliances.
Therefore, if the alliances want to cooperate with the Cheng Family in the future, will they have to consider whether they can defeat the surrounding alliances?
They know that the Cheng Family won't help them. If they can't defeat the surrounding alliances, they won't dare to cooperate with the Cheng Family anymore, "City Lord Bai said agitatedly.
It was obvious that he wasn't too pleased with the Cheng Family's attitude.
However, he didn't dare to show too much emotion and had been restraining himself.
The Cheng Family was the White City Alliance's only hope and he didn't want to offend them. Moreover, he wanted to continue working with the Cheng Family in the future to reap more benefits!
City Lord Zhou fell silent after hearing City Lord Bai's words and fell into deep thought!
City Lord Bai began to panic again when he saw City Lord Zhou's reaction. Could it be that he had been too impulsive and had angered City Lord Zhou?
"City Lord Zhou? City Lord Zhou! "City Lord Bai shouted a few times but City Lord Zhou didn't respond. He was still deep in thought.
"Actually, it's very simple to get the Cheng Family to help us!" City Lord Zhou suddenly raised his head and said to City Lord Bai.
"City Lord Zhou, what do you mean?" City Lord Bai was overjoyed when he heard that the Cheng Family could help. He was eager to hear City Lord Zhou's thoughts.
"Just like what City Lord Bai said, if the White City Alliance submitted to the Cheng Family, it would become a conflict between the Cheng Family and the other alliances. In that case, the Cheng Family would have a reason to intervene!" City Lord Zhou said.
"This …" The smile on City Lord Bai's face disappeared instantly and his expression stiffened.
"What do you think of this idea, City Lord Bai? Although the Cheng Family and the White City Alliance have a close relationship, we are still two different forces.
The other alliances have only closed their doors. No matter what, the Cheng Family has no right to interfere in the affairs of others.
If we were to stand up for the White City Alliance, what would the others think? Wouldn't they say that the Cheng Family is too overbearing?
Unless this matter is the Cheng Family's own business to begin with. In that case, since they've cut off our Cheng Family's source of income, we have enough reason to act! "City Lord Zhou explained.
"City Lord Zhou, based on what the world thinks of the White City Alliance, even if we haven't submitted to the Cheng Family, they would still think that we have.
Since this is just an excuse, I don't think it's important whether the White City Alliance has submitted to the Cheng Family or not.
As long as the Cheng Family is willing to help the White City Alliance, they would be even more certain of it. Isn't that the same? "City Lord Bai retorted.
He felt that the Cheng Family was using this opportunity to swallow up the White City Alliance. The Cheng Family was indeed ambitious.
Moreover, City Lord Zhou's excuse did not make sense at all. Even if the White City Alliance had not submitted to the Cheng Family, they were still partners. Why couldn't the Cheng Family help them?
Even if the others did not think that the White City Alliance had submitted to the Cheng Family, they were still partners of the Cheng Family.
Now that the White City Alliance was in trouble, wasn't it normal for the Cheng Family to be willing to lend a helping hand?
Therefore, the Cheng Family was purposely evading the responsibility to take over the White City Alliance.
