"City Lord, I don't think Manager Zou's suggestion is feasible!" However, as soon as Manager Zou finished speaking, the first manager objected.
"Manager Tang, do you think there's anything wrong with Manager Zou's suggestion?" City Lord Wu asked.
He did not even have time to consider Manager Zou's suggestion. He did not expect Manager Tang to object to it.
"I don't object to Manager Zou's suggestion of finding a backer for our Wu City Alliance. However, if Manager Zou intends to use the Sacred Dynasty as our backer, I have to object!" Manager Tang explained. "Manager Tang, you are the only one who can support us.
"Why is that? Is Manager Tang prejudiced against the Holy Dynasty? "Manager Zou asked.
"It's not prejudiced. I just feel that the Holy Dynasty is not our best backer. Everyone knows that the Holy Dynasty has only appeared in recent years. Every time it appears, it will cause a huge commotion.
Most importantly, the Holy Dynasty is going against the Imperial Dynasty everywhere. We are still under the Imperial Dynasty.
If we look for the Holy Dynasty as our backer, how are we going to face the Imperial Dynasty?
Moreover, the Holy Dynasty has always been mysterious. They have occupied so much of the Imperial Dynasty's territory, but the Imperial Dynasty has not been able to find them.
Let's not talk about whether or not we can find them in Purple Wood City. Even if we find them and successfully make them our backer, if the dynasty can't find them, won't they come looking for us? "Manager Tang explained to everyone present.
"City Lord, I think Manager Tang has a point. The Holy Dynasty is indeed mysterious. Moreover, we don't know anything about them. If we rely on them, why don't we just rely on the Cheng Family?
Perhaps we can be like the White City Alliance and get a mission from the Cheng Family. Then, we can attract a lot of people to Wu City! "Another manager with the surname Bao said.
"This …" City Lord Wu was stunned. After listening to everyone's explanation, it seemed like it was not a good idea to look for the Holy Dynasty as a backer.
Moreover, the Holy Dynasty might not even care about an alliance like theirs.
"City Lord, perhaps Manager Bao's idea is more feasible. Instead of looking for a faction that is as strong as the Cheng Family or even stronger than the Cheng Family, why don't we just rely on the Cheng Family like the White City Alliance?
In any case, no matter if we look for a backer or the Cheng family, won't we still have to rely on them?
Since we can submit to others, why can't we submit to the Cheng family? At the very least, we know the Cheng Family much better than the Holy Dynasty, "Manager Tang said.
"Submit to the Cheng Clan?" City Lord Wu couldn't help but ponder.
This was the same idea they had when they were in Qingyang City. Back then, City Lord Zhou had also mentioned this to them.
It was just that they were doing well now, and they were clearly unwilling to join the Cheng Family.
Although they had submitted to the dynasty, the dynasty had never interfered in their affairs.
That was why their Black City Alliance was able to continuously annex other cities and strengthen themselves.
However, if they submitted to the Cheng Clan, the Cheng Clan would not allow them to do so.
"City Lord, I don't think we should side with the Cheng Family!" Manager Zou also stood up and objected.
"Manager Zou, why is that?" City Lord Wu asked.
"Compared to the dynasty, I think the Cheng Family is much more ambitious. If we side with the Cheng Family, then we will have to listen to them in the future. I believe that the Cheng Family will not be as generous as Wang Dynasty. They will even allow us to annex other cities or alliances! "Manager Zou explained.
"What Manager Zou said is indeed what I have been thinking. However, I remember when we were in Qingyang City, City Lord Zhou of the Cheng Family told us that if we submitted to the Cheng Family, the Cheng Family would not interfere with the internal affairs of our alliance. I don't know if it's true or not!" City Lord Wu recalled.
He had never thought of submitting to the Cheng Family, so he didn't care too much about it.
However, now that everyone was discussing this issue, he couldn't help but recall City Lord Zhou's words.
"City Lord, is that true?" Manager Tang was overjoyed!
"Can you believe it? If the Cheng Family is trustworthy, why would the White City Alliance submit to them? I don't believe the White City Alliance did it willingly, "Manager Zou retorted.
"I'm not sure if it's true or not. City Lord Zhou did say that as long as we don't harm the Cheng Family's interests, he won't take the initiative to annex us.
But when we all asked him to make a promise for us, he refused.
Therefore, I think it's impossible for the Cheng Family to have no ambition! "City Lord Wu said while shaking his head.
City Lord Zhou's words were too forceful, not giving them any leeway at all. This made everyone doubt his words.
"City Lord, it doesn't matter if the White City Alliance is doing it willingly or not. At least the White City Alliance is using the Cheng Family's quests to distribute in various cities of the alliance. It has indeed attracted a lot of people and brought them a lot of wealth and benefits. Isn't that the truth?" Manager Bao said.
"What's the point? The White City Alliance is no longer the White City Alliance, but the Cheng Family's White City Alliance.
Otherwise, why would the Cheng Family be so kind as to hand the quests to them?
Besides, so what if the White City Alliance has obtained a lot of benefits from the Cheng Family's quests? Won't the wealth and resources still end up in the Cheng Family's hands?
What does that have to do with the White City Alliance? "Manager Zou said disdainfully.
"Manager Zou is right. City Lord Zhou made it very clear to us back in Qingyang City. If we want to obtain the Cheng Family's quests, the only way is to submit to them! "City Lord Wu agreed with Manager Zou.
"You see, I'm not wrong! The Cheng Family is just that cunning; they would never give such a good opportunity to others.
If we submit to the Cheng Family, it will be meaningless no matter how many benefits we obtain from the quests. The benefits will not belong to us, but to the Cheng Family!
Of course, if we help the Cheng Family earn a lot of benefits, I believe the Cheng Family will still give us a bowl of soup! "Manager Zou said confidently.
"If that's the case, it seems like submitting to the Cheng Family isn't feasible. City Lord, since we can't submit to the Cheng Family, can we use resources to exchange for quests from them? "Manager Tang asked.
"I already said that the only way to obtain the Cheng Family's quests is to submit to them. Apart from that, the Cheng Family will not give the quests to anyone else.
We also proposed to exchange a certain amount of resources with the Cheng Family in the past, but City Lord Zhou rejected us all! "City Lord Wu said helplessly.
How could he not have thought of this method?
If they could exchange resources for quests from the Cheng Family, it would still bring benefits to the White City Alliance.
It was a pity that the Cheng Family's attitude was firm. They refused to give them any chance, not even taking a step back. It was truly infuriating.
"The Cheng Family is too despicable. They have the final say in everything. They are clearly forcing us into a dead end!" Manager Tang said angrily.
They couldn't do this, couldn't do that. It was all thanks to the Cheng Family. Initially, their Wu City Alliance was a well-known alliance in the surrounding area. They had a large population and were bustling with activity every day.
However, ever since the Cheng Family became influential in the secular world and started issuing quests, they could clearly feel that people were moving towards the Cheng Family's territory.
Even though the Cheng Family had not expanded their influence into the cultivation world, they were already very influential and attractive in the cultivation world.
Especially now that the Cheng Family had expanded all of their small cities into the Cultivation Realm, the influence of the Cheng Family had become even greater. The situation of the various cities in the Alliance had also changed a lot.
However, when the White City Alliance began to issue quests for the Cheng Family, it was equivalent to the Cheng Family placing a knife at their doorstep. What was the difference between this and openly robbing them of their resources?
However, at that time, they didn't know that the White City Alliance had already submitted to the Cheng Family. That was why they sealed all the passes leading to the White City Alliance, wanting to get rid of the White City Alliance first.
Unfortunately, they had underestimated the Cheng Family's strength.
This time, so many alliances gathered in Qingyang City under the Cheng Family's influence, but they had no right to speak at all.
The first thing these city lords did when they returned to their territories was to restore all the passes to normal.
Now, all of the alliances had encountered a problem. Their alliances were losing population seriously, but they couldn't find any effective way to attract more people back.
What was more hateful was that the Cheng Family had actually asked them not to do anything that would harm the Cheng Family's interests.
If the alliances wanted to attract people back from the Cheng Family's territory, how could it not harm the Cheng Family's interests?
Therefore, the Cheng Family clearly didn't want to give the alliances any way out. How could they not be angry?
"If we were stronger than the Cheng Family, we would have the final say. Unfortunately, we don't have the strength to do so! "Manager Zou said calmly.
This was the way of the world. Whoever's fist was bigger and harder would have the final say.
Even if they hated the Cheng Family, they couldn't do anything about the Cheng Family's strength at all.
Therefore, even if the Cheng Family was unreasonable, what could they do?
"It seems like we have to give this matter further thought. Fortunately, our Wu City has a strong foundation, so the entire alliance won't fall apart because of this.
