"So, this matter is true?" The Qinghe City Lord heard Manager Zhao's words and immediately believed him a little.
"City Lord, I don't think it's false. Moreover, I heard that Hong City and Xian Yue City submitted to the Cheng Family in the same way! "Manager Zhao continued.
"If that's the case, then what City Lord Zhou said to us back then is true?" The Qinghe City Lord asked doubtfully.
He remembered that City Lord Zhou had also mentioned to them that the Cheng Family would not interfere in their internal affairs.
However, they had never thought of submitting to the Cheng Family back then, so they did not care about City Lord Zhou's words.
Now that Manager Zhao said this, he immediately remembered City Lord Zhou's words.
"City Lord, what did City Lord Zhou say?" Manager He asked curiously.
"Last time, City Lord Zhou also said that if we submitted to the Cheng Family, they would not interfere with our internal affairs.
However, we did not take it seriously at that time. If things are really as Manager Zhao said, then this matter will be different! "The Qinghe City Lord explained to everyone.
"City Lord, will the Cheng Family really be so kind? If they don't interfere with these factions' affairs, why would they want us to submit to them? "Manager He questioned.
"There are many types of submitting. One type is to directly take someone else's territory as their own. However, this is not the first time the Cheng Family has taken over a faction. Everyone should know that many factions have gone to the secular world to submit to the Cheng Family.
Although these factions have submitted to the Cheng Family, they maintain their own internal affairs and the Cheng Family does not interfere.
Perhaps the Cheng Family treats us the same way as these factions. They do not need to take care of these territories themselves. They just treat us as a lower sect of the Cheng Family.
As long as we do not betray the Cheng Family or listen to them in matters outside of our faction, it should be fine! "Manager Zhao guessed.
"Yes, Manager Zhao's thinking makes sense. There are many lower sects that have submitted to the Cheng Family. These lower sects seem to have a certain degree of autonomy. "The Qinghe City Lord nodded.
"City Lord, do you mean that we should also submit to the Cheng Family?" Manager He asked.
"This … I don't dare to say. What do you guys think?" The Lord of Qinghe City also felt a bit awkward.
After all, everything they were discussing right now was only their speculation. It would be too rash to decide if the Clearriver Alliance would submit to the Cheng Family.
However, based on the two methods suggested by Manager Zhao, perhaps the second method would be more effective.
After all, it was unrealistic to invite a helper from a faraway place.
If a force wanted to expand its influence, it would definitely have to start from its surroundings. It was absolutely impossible for it to suddenly run to an unfamiliar place and fight with some powerful local forces.
Therefore, there was basically no need to consider this method.
However, the matter of submitting to the Cheng Family was not as simple as it seemed, and there were many problems involved.
If they lost control of the Clear River Alliance after submitting to the Cheng Clan, they would never submit to the Cheng Clan.
"City Lord, I think that if the Cheng family really doesn't interfere with our internal affairs, apart from the fact that our alliance belongs to the Cheng family, the Clear River Alliance will remain the same as before. We can consider it!" Manager He said.
"What do you guys think?" The Qinghe City Lord nodded and looked at the others.
"Our thoughts are similar to Manager He. As long as the Cheng Family doesn't interfere with our internal affairs, we will still be the same as before. It doesn't matter who we submit to!" the other Managers said.
"Mm, how about this? Manager Zhao has put in a lot of effort into this matter and helped us gather so much information. It can be said that you have done a great service to our alliance.
However, I feel that we can't reveal that we want to submit to the Cheng Family for now. As such, I've decided to ask Manager Zhao to personally go to the Cheng Family and talk to City Lord Zhou to see if there is any possibility of us submitting to them.
What is Manager Zhao's decision? "The Qinghe City Lord asked when he saw that no one was against the idea of submitting.
"We don't dare to disobey the City Lord's orders," Manager Zhao said.
"Then we'll have to trouble you. If you really do it, the alliance will not let you down!" The Qinghe City Lord said.
"Thank you, City Lord. I will go to the Cheng Family tomorrow. I will do my best to create the best conditions for submitting to the Cheng Family!" Manager Zhao replied solemnly.
"Alright, we will wait for your good news in Qinghe City!" The Qinghe City Lord said with a smile.
The three alliances had been annexed by the Cheng Family one after another. This made many alliances feel complicated. The Qinghe Alliance was one of them.
However, they weren't the only ones with the same thoughts. Everyone was thinking about the future of their own alliance.
Some even suggested leaving this place and bringing all their resources to a new place. They wanted to establish a new alliance in a place where there weren't as many strong enemies.
Of course, as soon as this idea was put forward, it was rejected by the others in the alliance.
The cost of doing so was too great. It would also affect the benefits of too many people. No one would agree to it.
However, the people in the alliance also knew why the three alliances were annexed by the Cheng Family. Even if the Cheng Family really wanted to take over the other alliances, they wouldn't do it so quickly.
Therefore, they still had enough time to think about the future of the alliance.
In addition, apart from the annexation of the three alliances by the Cheng Family, they also heard about another big event that happened in the cultivation world.
That was the Purple Wood City of the Purple Maple Alliance. It was said that the Sacred Dynasty had occupied it.
Although the Purple Maple Alliance wasn't very close to the other alliances, the Purple Maple Alliance was still very strong and had a great influence in the surrounding areas.
Now that something had happened to the Purple Maple Alliance, the news naturally spread to the other alliances.
In the past, everyone had heard about the Sacred Dynasty. However, it was still relatively far away from them.
On the other hand, the Purple Maple Alliance wasn't that far away. If the Sacred Dynasty had already come to the Purple Maple Alliance, did it mean that the Sacred Dynasty wasn't far away from them?
The Sacred Dynasty dared to offend the Purple Maple Alliance and occupied their cities. This Sacred Dynasty was too terrifying.
What made them even more afraid was that since the Sacred Dynasty had appeared in the Purple Maple Alliance, it was very likely that they would come to them too.
