After City Lord Zhou brought some people to purchase some resources in Qingyang City, he returned to the South Gate.
"City Lord Zhou, are we going to stay here for a month and a half?" City Lord Bai's subordinates asked City Lord Zhou after setting up a camp for his men.
"It's fine if you want to return to the White City Alliance first, I'll handle it for you!" City Lord Zhou said.
Although he had come to Qingyang City in the name of helping the White City Alliance, the alliance had already affected the Cheng Family.
Even though it didn't have much of an impact right now, it gave many Alliances and City Lords a chance to follow suit.
If the Qinghe Alliance did this, more alliances would do the same in the future.
Currently, the Qinghe Alliance had only sealed off the White City Alliance's exit, which meant that the other exits of the Cheng Family were still functioning normally.
However, if these alliances were to join forces and target the Cheng Family, they would seal off all the exits of the Cheng Family, which would have a huge impact on the Cheng Family.
Even though the combined strength of these alliances was mediocre, it would still shake the entire cultivation world and make the Cheng Family the center of attention.
The Cheng Family did not want the situation to escalate to this stage. Hence, they were standing up for the White City Alliance to get rid of any future troubles for the Cheng Family.
As long as the Cheng Family could intimidate these alliances, no one would dare to do the same thing in the future.
Therefore, even if City Lord Bai and the others were to return, he would stay behind.
However, he would not say it out loud. At the very least, he had to let City Lord Bai know that the Cheng Family had been treating the White City Alliance well.
"City Lord Zhou, what are you talking about? How could I leave with my men when you've helped the White City Alliance so much? Wouldn't I be too disappointing? "City Lord Bai said hurriedly.
He had to admit that he was extremely grateful to City Lord Zhou for his actions.
At least City Lord Zhou and the others did not give up just because the problem was too troublesome. They were willing to stay in Qingyang City even if it would take another month and a half to resolve.
The White City Alliance was the direct victim of the incident. How could they leave now that City Lord Zhou and the others were here to resolve the problem for them?
"Aren't you afraid that something might happen to the White City Alliance?" City Lord Zhou smiled.
"What could possibly happen? Besides, I've already arranged everything. More importantly, our White City Alliance has now become part of the Cheng Family.
As such, the White City Alliance wasn't just my White City Alliance, it was also the Cheng family's White City Alliance.
If something were to happen to the White City Alliance, the Cheng Family wouldn't just sit back and do nothing, right? "City Lord Bai said with a smile.
"That's true. The Cheng Clan will never stand idly by when it comes to our own people!" City Lord Zhou nodded.
"That's why I have nothing to worry about here!" Governor Bai said matter-of-factly.
"It's good that you're willing to stay. After all, your White City Alliance is one of the parties involved. If the other alliances come and you're not here, it'll be hard to say! "City Lord Zhou replied.
"City Lord Zhou's words are too serious. As long as City Lord Zhou takes action, no matter how dissatisfied those alliances are, what can they do?
Just like the Governor of Qinghe City, he didn't even dare to say a word in front of Governor Zhou. I'm sure they're unsealing all the exits by now! "Governor Bai said happily.
When he saw how the Clear River Alliance's people were behaving in front of City Lord Zhou and the others, he was very happy.
These guys had ganged up on them just because they were stronger than the White City Alliance. This had infuriated him greatly.
If it wasn't for the fact that he couldn't defeat them, he wouldn't have allowed the White City Alliance to submit to the Cheng Clan.
However, he had gotten over it now. He felt that submitting to the Cheng Clan wasn't a bad thing.
After all, he was still the City Lord of the White City Alliance. The Cheng Clan wouldn't interfere with the internal affairs of the White City Alliance, unless he asked for help from the Cheng Clan.
Therefore, the current White City Alliance wasn't much different from the White City Alliance in the past. However, they now had the protection of the Cheng Clan, which made them feel more secure than before.
In the past, when they submitted to the Dynasty Alliance, they were often worried that they would be annexed by the nearby powerful factions.
However, there was no need for that now. The Cheng Clan wouldn't allow the other alliances to do as they pleased, even if they submitted to the Cheng Clan.
Therefore, they could develop themselves with peace of mind.
Although he had wanted to expand the White City Alliance in the past, he felt that this was a good way to go.
The White City Alliance might not be big, but it wasn't small either. As long as the Cheng Clan could protect them, they would be able to make a lot of money even with their current sphere of influence.
Once City Lord Zhou resolved the problems of these alliances, his White City Alliance would definitely rise again. When that time came, no one would dare to suppress them, unless they dared to oppose the Cheng Clan.
"Even so, starting tomorrow, I will still send some people to check on the various cities.
We can't be too polite to these people. Otherwise, they will think that the Cheng Clan is just trying to scare them! "City Lord Zhou said.
Being strict with the Clear River Alliance was actually a show of strength to the other alliances. When they arrived at the Clear River Alliance, they would know that the Clear River Alliance had already taken a step back and opened up all the entrances and exits.
Even if the Cheng Clan hadn't appeared yet, they would already be fearful of the Cheng Clan.
Therefore, he couldn't let the Clear River Alliance get away with it before the people from the other alliances arrived.
"City Lord Zhou, do you need me to send some people to follow those seniors?" City Lord Bai asked.
City Lord Zhou had brought a few dozen people with him this time, and they were all Tribulation Transcendence experts. Even though there were more than a hundred of them who were only at the Great Vehicle Stage, there were still many people who were much stronger than City Lord Bai.
Therefore, many of them were seniors to City Lord Bai.
"There's no need for that. Just let them check it out themselves. It's more convenient that way!" City Lord Zhou shook his head.
To the Clear River Alliance, these people were indeed experts.
Moreover, these people all had the Cheng Family's identity medallions. If anything happened to them in these cities, as long as they showed their identity medallions, not only would the City Lord's Mansions not dare to offend them, they would also have to protect them.
If anything happened to these people in the Clear River Alliance, the Cheng Clan wouldn't let them off easily. Therefore, the City Lords naturally wouldn't dare to make things difficult for them.
Moreover, these people were quite strong, so it was more convenient for them to come and go as they pleased.
If they sent different people out from the 28 cities of the Clear River Alliance, they would all be back in less than half a month.
After that, City Lord Zhou and the others stayed outside the southern gate of Qingyang City. Occasionally, they would enter the city with City Lord Bai and the others when they had nothing to do.
However, whenever they appeared in Qingyang City, the City Lord and the others would be scared out of their wits. They thought that they were going to cause trouble for them again.
However, City Lord Zhou and the others never looked for them. Gradually, the City Lord and the others got used to it. When they received news of them entering the city, they didn't care as much anymore.
Half a month later, the people that City Lord Zhou had sent out to check on the situation at the various cities of the Clear River Alliance had returned.
Perhaps the Qinghe City Lord was a smart man and had already informed these cities. Therefore, these people did not encounter a situation where the gates were blocked again.
This made City Lord Zhou much more satisfied.
A few days later, a few City Lords from the Clear River Alliance came to the Clear River Alliance. The City Lord didn't tell City Lord Zhou and the others about this, but City Lord Zhou's own people received the news.
However, City Lord Zhou didn't plan to meet these people right away, so he wasn't in a hurry.
This time, there would be a total of 20 City Lords from the Clear River Alliance coming to the Clear River Alliance. These people were only the first wave.
Since this matter had to be resolved, he naturally had to resolve it together. There were some things that he didn't want to say. After all, he couldn't tell them every time they came. That would be a waste of time.
Moreover, before the City Lords from the other alliances arrived, these people definitely wouldn't make a decision so quickly.
Therefore, City Lord Zhou pretended that he didn't know anything and gave them enough time to think of a way to deal with the problem that the Cheng Family had given them!
In the following period of time, the City Lords from the other alliances also arrived at Qingyang City one after another.
There were only three days left until the deadline given by City Lord Zhou, but there were still people from the five alliances who had yet to appear. The City Lords who had already arrived at Qingyang City wanted to know if the people from the five alliances would be able to reach Qingyang City in three days.
However, many people were worried about the people from the five alliances.
If they really didn't arrive at Qingyang City within the deadline given by City Lord Zhou, what would happen to the Cheng Family?
Were they really going to make a move against the five alliances?
Some people might have some ulterior motives and wanted to see if the Cheng Family really dared to do so.
However, many City Lords still considered the big picture. After all, they were all in the same boat now.
If the five alliances were really dealt with by the Cheng Family first, they would lose five allies.
To them, five allies was very important. After all, they only had a little over 20 people. Losing five allies was a heavy burden.
"Qinghe City Lord, are you sure that these five allies have received the news?" An old man asked the City Lord.
He was the City Lord of the Ocean City Alliance. He was also one of the City Lords who had arrived at Qingyang City first.
