City Lord Bai was elated when City Lord Zhou led everyone out of Qingyang City once again.
He didn't expect City Lord Zhou to solve such a difficult problem so easily.
Although the City Lords had only left Qingyang City not too long ago, other than the gateways of the Qinghe Alliance, the gateways of the other alliances had yet to return to normal.
However, he believed that once the City Lords returned to their own alliances, they would definitely reopen all the gateways.
Unless they really wanted to go against the Cheng Family and the Cheng Family brought an army to their doorstep, no one would dare to go back on their word.
Therefore, he did not need to worry about this matter anymore. Now, he just wanted to return to the White City Alliance as soon as possible and wait for more people to appear in the White City Alliance.
Once all the gateways were restored, the White City Alliance would become lively and prosperous once again. In fact, it might even be more prosperous than before.
He could not contain his excitement at the thought of this.
"City Lord Zhou, I can't thank you enough this time. If it wasn't for you, these guys wouldn't have been so obedient, and they wouldn't have agreed to restore all the gates so easily," City Lord Bai said with a smile.
In the past, he had wanted to recruit a few Tribulation Stage experts for the White City Alliance. If they had such experts to oversee the alliance, they would definitely have a huge influence, especially on the surrounding alliances.
Unfortunately, experts at the Crossing Calamity Stage were either too greedy or too ambitious. They weren't people that could be easily recruited by the alliance of cities like theirs.
Therefore, this was indeed a very difficult task for an alliance like theirs.
Although they had pledged allegiance to the Dynasty in the past, the Dynasty had never cared about them and would never lend them any Tribulation Stage experts. As a result, the alliance and cities of the Dynasty had always been independent.
However, things were different now. They had pledged allegiance to the Cheng Family and the Cheng Family was willing to send their Tribulation Stage experts to help them.
With the help of these experts, was there anything in this world that couldn't be settled?
To them, there was no difference between pledging allegiance to the Dynasty and the Cheng Family. After all, they belonged to the same faction.
Moreover, the Cheng Family was much more sincere than the Dynasty.
Putting the tribute aside, the fact that the Cheng Clan was willing to lend a helping hand when the White City Alliance was in danger made the Cheng Clan a lot stronger than the Wang Dynasty.
The dynasty had taken a lot of resources from the White City Alliance over the years, but in the end?
They had encountered danger, but Wang Chao had never cared about their lives.
In comparison, he felt that betraying the dynasty and submitting to the Cheng Clan was an extremely wise decision.
"There's no need to thank me. Since your White City Alliance has pledged allegiance to our Cheng Family, it naturally belongs to our Cheng Family.
Our Cheng Family has never been stingy to our own people! What's more, apart from belonging, there's also a layer of cooperation between us.
If the White City Alliance collapses, wouldn't our Cheng Family suffer a loss as well? "City Lord Zhou said with a smile.
"City Lord Zhou is right, we are all on the same side. However, for the sake of the White City Alliance, City Lord Zhou has wasted nearly two months of your time. I will never forget this kindness! "City Lord Bai said respectfully.
He now thoroughly understood the influence of a Transcending Tribulation Expert.
If it wasn't for the fact that he was too powerful, how could the Alliance City Lords, who were all arrogant people, accept such unfair conditions from City Lord Zhou?
Therefore, strength was the way to go.
In the past, he had never had the chance to come into contact with a person of this level. However, with the help of his relationship with the Cheng Family, he was able to be so close to a Transcending Tribulation Expert like City Lord Zhou. How rare was this opportunity?
How could he miss it so easily?
Therefore, no matter what, he had to make use of this opportunity to build a better relationship with City Lord Zhou.
More importantly, the cooperation between the White City Alliance and the Cheng Family was also carried out through City Lord Zhou.
If he had a good relationship with City Lord Zhou, wouldn't he be able to cooperate with him in the future?
This showed how important City Lord Zhou was to him now.
"It's enough that you remember it!" City Lord Zhou didn't care.
Why would a Transcending Tribulation Expert care about the words of a Great Vehicle Cultivator?
At least, the promise of a Great Vehicle Cultivator didn't mean much to him.
"City Lord Zhou, since you've arrived at White City this time, please stay for a few more days. I will do my best to entertain you and all the seniors!" City Lord Bai said sincerely.
"Let's talk about it later!" City Lord Zhou understood what City Lord Bai meant by 'entertain'.
However, it wasn't attractive to him at all.
This was because the Cheng Family had given them too much. As long as they were at the Great Vehicle Stage or above, the Cheng Family would never embezzle their resources.
In particular, a Transcending Tribulation Cultivator would have the status of an elder in the Cheng Family, regardless of whether they held an important position in the family.
Therefore, they didn't lack resources. Furthermore, the resources that the Cheng Family had given them were not ordinary resources.
After all, for a cultivator at the Tribulation Transcendence Stage, no matter how precious ordinary resources were, they were of little help to them.
However, the resources that the Master had prepared for them were most useful to them at this stage. This also dispelled their greed. They only needed to protect the Cheng Family and didn't need to worry about anything else.
Therefore, he wasn't interested in City Lord Bai's friendly gesture at all. In fact, he wouldn't even give him the chance to do so.
As the saying went, one's hands were tied after receiving a gift. If he were to accept City Lord Bai's kind gesture, not only would it be useless to him, it might even bring him trouble.
This was because the Master hated people who played dirty tricks behind the Cheng Family's back. This was also the reason why the Master had treated them so well.
If the Cheng Family didn't treat them well enough, it would be understandable for them to be greedy. However, if the Cheng Family treated them so well and they were still thinking of betraying the Cheng Family, he wouldn't tolerate it.
Therefore, City Lord Zhou and the others returned to the White City Alliance after a few days. However, they didn't stay for too long. Apart from resting, they were basically on their way back.
City Lord Bai was extremely disappointed to see City Lord Zhou and the others leave White City just like that.
However, he had no choice. If City Lord Zhou and the others were unwilling to stay, he couldn't force them to stay. That would only backfire.
In the end, he could only send City Lord Zhou and the others out of White City and he didn't follow them.
After all, White City was his home. Since City Lord Zhou didn't intend to stay in the White City Alliance for long and was preparing to return to Yungui New City, there was no need for him to follow them.
A few days later, the few alliances closest to Clear Yang City released news one after another. The gateways of those alliances had all returned to normal and were completely open to the public.
City Lord Bai was extremely excited when he heard this news.
"That's great! The White City Alliance is finally going to rise again! "City Lord Bai exclaimed happily.
"Congratulations, City Lord. These alliances won't dare to oppress our White City Alliance anymore!" The people in charge of White City congratulated him in the main hall.
"Haha, it's all thanks to City Lord Zhou! If City Lord Zhou hadn't scared them off, they wouldn't have been so obedient.
However, don't worry, all the problems have been solved. As for the other gateways, I believe the alliances will restore them soon.
Otherwise, they would have no choice but to wait for the Cheng Family to pay them a visit! "Governor Bai said happily.
"It's all thanks to City Lord Bai's wisdom. If it wasn't for your foresight and decision to submit to the Cheng Family, we wouldn't know how badly we would be oppressed by the alliances."
"That's right. Perhaps in a few years, the White City Alliance would be devoured by the alliances." These people all stood up to flatter City Lord Bai.
However, City Lord Bai clearly liked their words because he felt that he had made the right choice back then.
"It's a pity that the Cheng Family doesn't seem to have any intention of devouring the alliances. Otherwise, with the Cheng Family's power, they could easily take over the alliances." City Lord Bai suddenly felt a little regretful after his initial joy.
Back in Qingyang City, City Lord Zhou had promised the other City Lords that as long as the alliances didn't do anything to harm the Cheng Family's interests, the Cheng Family wouldn't do anything to them.
Although City Lord Zhou had only made a verbal promise, it was enough to show the Cheng Family's intentions.
If the Cheng Family really wanted to take over the alliances, the White City Alliance could easily volunteer to do so.
When the time came, he would only need to borrow some soldiers from the Cheng Family to take over the alliances.
Most importantly, the alliances were neighbors to the White City Alliance. If the White City Alliance took the initiative to take over the alliances, they could very well represent the Cheng Family to take over the alliances.
Coincidentally, the White City Alliance was autonomous and the Cheng Family wouldn't interfere with their internal affairs. The White City Alliance was going to soar.
However, as the saying goes, the falling flowers yearn for love, while the heartless brook flows.
As long as the Cheng Family didn't have any intention of taking over the alliances, even the most beautiful dream would be in vain.
"City Lord, I don't think you need to worry about this." A manager stepped forward and said.
"Officer Zhao, what's your opinion on this?" City Lord Bai asked.
"City Lord, didn't you say that City Lord Zhou didn't agree to make a promise to the City Lords of the alliances?
Since it was only a verbal promise, things could change at any time. Perhaps the Cheng Family didn't really intend to take over the alliances, they just didn't want to do it now.
Therefore, City Lord, you still have a chance in the future. I think the most important thing now is to develop the White City Alliance.
