"City Lord Zhou, you have to make it clear that it's not that we want to break up with the Cheng family, but that your Cheng family doesn't give us a way to survive.
We have retreated again and again now. If the Cheng family is so forced, maybe we will really have to fight each other with swords! "City Lord Wu saw that City Lord Zhou was still so strong, and his heart suddenly became very angry.
City Lord Zhou obviously felt that the Cheng family was powerful, so no one could do anything to him, so he didn't give everyone any way out!
"If you really want to meet with swords, you have to think carefully about it. Because once some things are done, there may be no room for redemption!" City Lord Zhou still remained unmoved and said lightly.
After all, for him, even if these people really want to use force to solve the problem, he has nothing to fear.
He is a master of the Tribulation Stage. Facing a group of Mahayana Stages, if they really dare to take action, they will definitely regret it.
Hearing City Lord Zhou's nonchalant words, the faces of everyone present became extremely ugly.
City Lord Zhou is a master of transcending tribulations, and many people present are aware of this matter.
Facing a master who has transcended the tribulation period, they really have no confidence at all.
Moreover, City Lord Zhou is just one of the many masters of the Cheng family who have transcended the tribulation period.
If they had a large army here now, they might not have to worry so much, but if they started like this, they would definitely not be the opponent of City Lord Zhou.
Of course, what they are most worried about is that if there is a real conflict with the Cheng family, then their alliance may also be retaliated by the Cheng family. It is difficult for everyone not to worry about this.
In this case, these city lords had to discuss together.
City Lord Zhou ignored them and drank tea quietly, as if all this had nothing to do with him.
"City Lord Zhou, we have already discussed it. We can take a step back and allow those who have accepted tasks from the Cheng family and those who go to the Cheng family to submit tasks to freely enter and exit various checkpoints. However, we must charge a certain tax for others. This This is our final bottom line." Finally, City Lord Wu once again spoke out on behalf of everyone.
"This is your bottom line, but it is not the bottom line of our Cheng family. I have made it very clear just now. The bottom line of our Cheng family is to let you open all the gates and not collect anyone's money!" City Lord Zhou put down his hands. Teacup, emphasized again.
"City Lord Zhou, it's really meaningless for you to say this. We have made concessions to the Cheng family again and again, which can be said to be very sincere.
But we have completely failed to see the sincerity of your Cheng family. How can we continue to negotiate? "Haicheng Lord said very dissatisfied.
"Negotiation? I think you may have made a mistake. The reason why I asked City Lord Qinghe to find you is not to negotiate with you, but to inform you to completely open all the gates!" City Lord Zhou said with a faint smile.
"This is impossible! If the Cheng family does not take a step back, then we will not take another step back. We have made it very clear just now that this is our bottom line. At worst, everyone will die!" City Lord Wu refused directly.
If all the gates were completely opened, wouldn't they be back to where they were before?
But now they absolutely do not want to return to the previous state, especially since the Baicheng Alliance has now joined the Cheng family, and the Cheng family's territory in the world of cultivation is getting wider and wider.
In the past, there might have been a Baicheng Alliance in the middle, but now, the Baicheng Alliance has become the Cheng family's territory, which means that their territory is completely adjacent to the Cheng family's territory, and there is not even a place to relax. .
As the Baicheng Alliance continues to release tasks, it will become easier for people from these alliances to flow to the Baicheng Alliance, that is, the Cheng family.
The White City Alliance is right next to them. Although it is adjacent, the White City Alliance is more attractive to them, and it allows them to take on tasks from the Cheng family and earn a lot of resources.
Under this situation, I believe that no one would not want to leave their alliance and enter the Baicheng Alliance or the Cheng family.
If they charge a certain amount of tax on those who come in and out of Cheng's house, they can make up for a lot of losses.
And the more people come in and out of the Cheng family, the more they get. Even if free passage is given to those who have accepted the mission from the Cheng family, there are still so many people who have not received the mission.
Therefore, they can still collect a lot of resources.
Now the Cheng family is not taking a step back, that is, they want to completely collapse their alliance.
Now that the Cheng family has done this, they certainly have no reason to give in anymore, otherwise the entire alliance will have to give in.
"Do you all think so?" City Lord Zhou looked at the city lords below and asked indifferently.
"This... this..." Looking at City Lord Zhou's expression, many City Lords hesitated and felt particularly nervous.
This is no joke, because none of them are the opponents of City Lord Zhou.
If City Lord Zhou attacks them if they disagree, then they don't know how to deal with it. Can they not feel nervous?
"You have to understand that with the strength of our Cheng family, if we really want to embarrass you, we don't have to say hello to you at all.
However, our family head did not do this. Instead, he asked me to come and make it clear to you personally. This is to give you the greatest face and is also the greatest sincerity of our Cheng family.
Otherwise, once our Cheng family's army comes out, which alliance do you think can survive? " City Lord Zhou saw that few of these people dared to stand up and speak, so he kindly reminded them again.
"City Lord Zhou, what's the difference between what you're doing now and directly leading troops to attack the door?
Once all the cities are opened, we in the alliance will surely lose a lot of people. In that case, we will not be able to hold on in a few years.
So, this is just a matter of morning and evening! "Yunlai City Lord said.
"Then are you willing to let our Cheng family directly conquer your alliance now, turn your territory into our Cheng family's territory, and then let our Cheng family open these gates ourselves?
Or will you go back and open these gates yourself as you do now?
Although the situation may be the same as what you said, at least your alliance will be able to survive for a while.
No one knows what will happen in the future. Maybe you will find a solution and answer to this problem.
But if we, the Cheng family, take action, then you really have no chance. " City Lord Zhou said.
"We..." Everyone was stunned. For such a choice, everyone would definitely choose the latter.
However, even this second option is not their original intention, because they do not want to have only these two answers.
Unfortunately, City Lord Zhou did not give them the third answer.
"I can tell you clearly that our Cheng family will never be willing to accept the method you just tried.
Regardless of whether you allow those who have accepted the mission to pass through the border, or whether you want to charge customs fees for others, it is impossible.
You must know that the path to my Cheng family is definitely not limited to your alliance. The world of cultivation is so big, let alone the other new cities of the Cheng family. Even the Yungui New City that I am in charge of has at least hundreds of passages.
There are countless alliances and cities involved in this. If we allow you to do this, won’t other alliances do the same?
If one, two, or ten or twenty passages are blocked, there won’t be much loss. But if all the passages leading to my Cheng family are blocked, how big of an impact will it have on the Cheng family? Needless to say, you should You can imagine it, right?
So it’s not that our Cheng family won’t give in, it’s that our Cheng family has no way to give in! I have said before that there is nothing fair or unfair in this world.
If you are strong enough, our Cheng family will naturally not be able to force you. Even if you want to collect taxes from everyone, our Cheng family will not be able to control you.
Sadly, you do not have the strength to stop the Cheng family, so this loss can only be borne by you, not our Cheng family. The reason is that simple, you should think about it yourself. "City Lord Zhou's tone was no longer so cold, but more humane.
However, speaking out of this human touch made everyone present feel despair.
I have to say that City Lord Zhou's words are indeed reasonable, but the reality is too cruel for them to accept.
City Lords, you look at me, I look at you, it seems that you no longer have the confidence to argue with City Lord Zhou anymore.
After all, City Lord Zhou has already talked about this, and he also made it very clear that the Cheng family cannot give in on this matter.
Because what he said was not wrong. Once they were allowed to do this, all other gates leading to the Cheng family would do the same.
As a result, all the passages of the Cheng family will be blocked. That would indeed have a huge impact on the Cheng family.
Therefore, the Cheng family will never give in again.
"Alas! City Lord Zhou, I choose to give up on this matter!" City Lord Qinghe never said a word from the beginning to the end, but now, he is the first to express his stance.
As the first person to come into contact with City Lord Zhou, he knew that when things had developed to this point, nothing could be changed.
Since you can't change, you can only choose to endure it.
Anyway, all the gates of their Qinghe Alliance have been opened. In this case, he might as well just be a favor.
"He who knows the current affairs is a hero. I believe that the decision of Lord Qinghe is not wrong. I have also said that as long as you do not harm the interests of the Cheng family, the Cheng family will never make things difficult for you. Even if my Cheng family continues to grow, I will never I will take the initiative to annex you unless you are willing to join the Cheng family. This is my biggest guarantee to you!" City Lord Zhou said.
