Although they were sent by the outer king to protect Lanxin City, they did not protect Lanxin City for free. As long as it's not a big deal, they won't take action.
Moreover, even if something big happens and they take action, they will still receive certain benefits. No benefit, nothing to discuss.
Nowadays, nothing major has happened in Blue Heart City for a long time, which is not a good thing for them. Because, unless something big happens, they have no way to get more benefits from Lan Jiang.
Although they also receive benefits from Lan Jiang every year, this benefit is too little for them. What's more, these benefit fees are only once a year, and the time interval is too long.
Therefore, they really hope that big things will happen in Blue Heart City from time to time, so that their lives will be more nourishing.
Of course, compared to when they were in the outer court, being sent to Lanxin City was indeed a fat job. Wai Chao also turned a blind eye to the benefits they collected from Lan Jiang.
Therefore, after seeing that Ximen was in a hurry and then the City Lord's Mansion was in a hurry, not only were they not anxious, but they were even more excited.
The city lord's palace is in a hurry, which means they have greater benefits to collect.
However, although they were very happy, they would first send someone out to inquire about the situation. Although they are sometimes arrogant, they are not ignorant.
No matter what happens in the City Lord's Mansion, they always need to understand it first. And they are really curious, what is the situation that caused Ximen and the City Lord's Mansion to be in emergency at the same time?
Could it be that the Dragon Eagle Dynasty launched another attack? If so, that would be interesting.
For them, ordinary people really can't afford their excitement. The only one who can become their opponent is Long Ying Wai Chao.
This Blue Heart City was originally snatched from Longying Waichao, so it is normal for them to snatch it back now. It was precisely to guard against Long Ying Wai Chao that Xiao Wai Chao sent them here.
Sure enough, soon, the guards from the City Lord's Mansion came to them.
"Senior, the City Lord's Mansion is in emergency. The City Lord asks all seniors to come and provide support!" When the guard saw the crowd, he knelt on the ground with a look of urgency and anxiety on his face and said.
"What happened to your city lord's mansion?" The old man in the lead asked calmly while looking at the person kneeling below.
The people they sent out to inquire about the situation hadn't come back yet, but the people from the City Lord's Mansion came first.
"Our City Lord's Mansion was attacked by three men in black robes, and most of the people in the City Lord's Mansion were killed or injured!" the guard said urgently.
"Three men in black robes? What kind of strength are they?" the old man said indifferently.
To be honest, even if the City Lord's Mansion is destroyed, it won't have much to do with them. For the dynasty, if the city lord's palace is destroyed, they can just support another city lord again.
However, in order to protect the face and prestige of their dynasty, they had better not let the City Lord's Mansion be destroyed. After all, if they can't even keep a city lord, how will outsiders view their dynasty?
Did they think that the dynasty was so cold-blooded? If this is the case, I am afraid that all the city lords inside and outside the court will be chilled. It will be difficult to make these city lords loyal to their dynasty in the future.
Therefore, although they did not care much about the lives of the city lords, it was still best to save them. After all, Lan Jiang is still obedient now, so they are not willing to change another person to be the city lord.
"I don't know for sure, but the city lord said that these three people are likely to be in the late Mahayana period, or even..." The guard fell silent mid-sentence.
"Even what?" the old man said with some dissatisfaction.
"City Lord, these people have even broken through the late Mahayana stage and reached the tribulation stage!" the guard said with some fear.
Although he is also a monk, in his eyes, the Mahayana period is already out of reach. And that period of transcending tribulation is a legendary existence in his opinion.
Because only monks who have successfully overcome the tribulation can be regarded as being in the tribulation stage, and such masters can be said to be quasi-immortals. As long as the spiritual energy in their bodies is transformed into fairy spiritual energy, they can ascend to the fairy world.
Therefore, he trembled when he thought about such a truly top expert coming to their city lord's mansion.
"Transcending the tribulation period? How is this possible?" Not only the old man, but also all the masters present lost their voices.
In the past, even if the Dragon Eagle Dynasty sent people to attack Lanxin City, they did not send out the Transition Tribulation Period. Now there are actually three masters in the Tribulation Stage coming to attack the city. This is incredible. Could it be that the Dragon Eagle Dynasty is determined to take back Blue Heart City?
However, although they were shocked by the emergence of masters who had transcended the tribulation stage, they were only shocked.
Because they also have the Tribulation Period here, and there are also three of them. This was also the precaution that King Xiaohai made to prevent Long Ying from going abroad.
At first, they thought that the foreign king was too cautious. After all, the goals of masters in the tribulation period were generally the fairy world, and secular disputes rarely attracted their attention.
Even if something big happens, these masters in the tribulation period may not be willing to take action. And their speculation is also normal. They have been in Lanxin City for so many years. Although Longying Waichao also sent experts to attack Lanxin City, the strongest experts they sent were only in the late Mahayana stage.
Therefore, these three masters of the Tribulation Stage have not shown up since they came here.
"Nonsense, how come someone in the tribulation stage comes to attack the city? Come on, let's go take a look!" Naturally, they don't believe that there will be masters in the tribulation stage coming to Blue Heart City.
In their eyes, no matter how strong these people are, they are only in the late stage of Mahayana. The three later stages of Mahayana are not difficult for them.
So, under the leadership of the old man, a group of people in the hall rushed directly towards the City Lord's Mansion.
Now, something big happened in the City Lord's Mansion, and everyone around the City Lord's Mansion fled.
Inside the city lord's palace, there were screams everywhere, accompanied by loud noises, which were the sounds of fighting.
Although Lan Jiang himself is only in the late stage of integration, this does not mean that there are no masters in the Mahayana stage in their city lord's mansion.
After all, masters in the Mahayana stage also need to practice, and their practice also requires a lot of resources. Not all Mahayana masters have their own sects, and many casual cultivators work alone.
And many times, they have to rely on some big forces for resources. Moreover, they are attached to these forces, generally have a very high status, and their resources are also quite abundant.
Therefore, they are also willing to stay and become their guests. This is just taking advantage of each other.
Therefore, this city lord's mansion also has many Mahayana masters. Most of the time, these guests don't have anything important to deal with here, and most of the time they just serve as a deterrent.
But now, they regret it. They never thought that one day they would encounter enemies in the tribulation period.
"Senior, please forgive me!" A monk in the middle stage of Mahayana was pinched by a man in black robes. This master in the middle stage of Mahayana no longer had the demeanor of a master at this moment, and he begged for mercy loudly!
