Although Lord Baicheng has led the Baicheng Alliance to join the Cheng family, he still has his own ambitions.
Even though they already belonged to the Cheng family, he also knew that there were many subordinate sects of the Cheng family, and each subordinate sect basically existed independently, just like their Baicheng Alliance.
Therefore, if there is a chance, he still hopes that the Baicheng Alliance can develop stronger.
The rise of the White City Alliance will inevitably cause the relative decline of the surrounding alliances.
If the White City Alliance had the opportunity to take these alliances under its banner, he would not miss this opportunity.
But before that, they had to find out the Cheng family's attitude towards these alliances. If the Cheng family doesn't object, then their chance will come.
If the Cheng family does not support it, then this matter can only be regarded as an idea for the time being.
As time passed, more and more alliances opened their gates, and news spread to the White City Alliance.
Moreover, after the gates of various cities were gradually opened, the population of the White City Alliance was obviously increasing. In just one month, the population of the White City Alliance had reached almost half of what it was before it was suppressed.
It can be seen that without the obstruction of these alliances, everyone's enthusiasm for the Cheng family's mission has never diminished.
On the contrary, many people have been blocked by these alliances for several months, which makes them very anxious.
Now that the gates are finally open, these people are all rushing towards the Baicheng Alliance and the Cheng family.
Seeing more and more people pouring into his power, City Lord Bai was naturally very happy.
But for the city lords of other alliances, this situation almost makes them cry.
Seeing these people leaving the city in large numbers, their hearts really hurt.
However, they did not dare to stop these people because they were too afraid of the Cheng family's strength.
If these people spread the news to the Cheng family, and the Cheng family really comes with a large army to start a war, then the gains will really outweigh the losses.
The only way now is to figure out how to attract more people to yourself.
Otherwise, if this continues, the entire alliance will become an empty city sooner or later.
"City Lord, do we really not stop them? During this period, our Wucheng has lost almost 20 to 30% of its population.
This is just our Wucheng. I think the situation in other cities in our alliance is almost the same.
If we allow them to come and go freely like this, our losses will be immeasurable! "The Lord of Hewu City stood on the city tower and watched many people leave through the city gate and went to the White City Alliance. A person in charge said very worriedly.
"Don't worry, we can't keep those who are leaving even if we want to. There are so many people from the Uucheng Alliance who have settled here, and not everyone will leave the Uucheng Alliance.
Moreover, although the tasks issued by the Cheng family are indeed attractive to many monks, not everyone will be attracted.
So, we don’t need to worry about this for the time being. Although we do have a serious population loss now, people coming from outside and preparing to go to the Cheng family and the Baicheng Alliance will also pass through our territory in the future.
The more people the Cheng family attracts, it will also be good for us. It is impossible for these people to eat, drink, and purchase any supplies in our territory, right? "Wucheng Lord said expressionlessly.
In fact, how can he be happy when he sees these people constantly leaving his territory?
But there was nothing he could do. Apart from comforting himself, there was nothing he could do.
After all, City Lord Zhou had already made it very clear to them when they were in Qingyang City, especially when he left at the end, City Lord Zhou also specifically reminded them.
If they don't follow suit and open all doors, the Cheng family will never sit back and ignore this matter again.
He did not want Wucheng to become the first of many alliances to be forcibly annexed by the Cheng family.
"What the city lord said is that this meager income cannot bring much benefit to the alliance." The boss nodded, but the worry in his heart did not diminish.
"There is nothing we can do about it. This time the Cheng family's attitude is too tough. In front of the Cheng family, we have no room at all. Everything can only be decided by the Cheng family.
In this world, strength determines everything. Without strength, the alliance cannot go far in the long run! "Wu City Lord said.
After some negotiations with City Lord Zhou, he completely understood this truth.
In the past, he was the only one who forced others, so he just realized the benefits of being strong, which is why the Uucheng Alliance became the scale it is now.
But now, in front of the Cheng family, they have become weak again.
The experience of the weak finally made him understand that without strength, nothing means anything.
But, is it so simple to become strong?
What's more, the current Cheng family is not strong alone. Just the masters of the tribulation period, the Cheng family doesn't know how many people there are.
City Lord Qinghe told them at the beginning that City Lord Zhou brought dozens of people to the Tribulation Period in Qingyang City.
City Lord Zhou is only the Lord of Yungui City, but Yungui City is just one of the dozens of cities in the Cheng family.
Just such a city can dispatch dozens of tribulation periods, so how many tribulation periods should the entire Cheng family have?
He couldn't imagine it anyway.
Moreover, he had long heard that the head of the Cheng family was the most terrifying person in the entire Cheng family.
It is said that a large number of masters in the tribulation stage have died at the hands of the head of the Cheng family, which shows how powerful the Cheng family is.
Their Wucheng Alliance is relatively strong around here, but compared to such a terrifying force as the Cheng family, it is really nothing.
Otherwise, they would not have been so passive during the negotiations in Qingyang City. Even City Lord Zhou's request was clearly unacceptable, but they did not dare to resist in any way.
It's not that I don't want to resist, I just don't dare.
"City Lord, this Cheng family's use of power to bully others is really too much. Although our Wucheng Alliance is no match for their Cheng family, this does not mean that their Cheng family can do whatever they want in this world of cultivation.
Now that the Cheng family continues to expand its power in the world of cultivation, it is obvious that it is competing with the dynasty for territory.
City Lord, I think we should find a way to report this matter to the Dynasty. As long as we tell them about the Cheng family's threat to the Dynasty, the Dynasty will no longer sit idly by and ignore it, right? "Another principal stood up and suggested.
"I guess it's not that simple. Since the Cheng family expanded their power to the world of cultivation, they have also annexed some forces, such as Hongcheng and Baicheng Alliance, etc.
This is already infringing on the interests of the dynasty, but if you look at it in the past few years, we have never seen any retaliation from the dynasty against the Cheng family.
If the Dynasty really wanted to deal with the Cheng family, it would have already taken action. So even if we ask the dynasty to take action on this matter, there may not be any good results. "Wucheng Lord shook his head and said.
Although they have been paying tribute to the dynasty, the dynasty is still a mystery to them.
Because they have no idea what kind of existence this dynasty is.
But judging from the shadow of the dynasty behind all the cities, it stands to reason that this dynasty should be a very powerful and terrifying existence.
What makes him confused is that now the Cheng family has stepped on them and even taken away a lot of their territory, but the dynasty seems to be completely indifferent. This is really strange.
"If even the dynasty doesn't care about this matter, then we really have no choice but to endure the Cheng family's continuous expansion of territory.
It's just that we are so close to the Cheng family, I'm afraid that we will become their target for annexation before long! "The chief officer continued.
"This should not happen. City Lord Zhou has promised us this time when he was in Qingyang City that as long as we do not harm the interests of the Cheng family, the Cheng family will not annex us." City Lord Wu said.
"City Lord, how can we believe what the Cheng family says? They are so much stronger than us. As long as they want to annex us, it is just a simple matter, so we have to guard against it!"
"City Lord, I think what Chief Zou said is very reasonable. The Cheng family cannot be trusted. Even if they won't annex us now, it doesn't mean they won't annex us in the future.
We are adjacent to them. If they don't annex us, how can they expand their territory? "The chief said at the beginning.
"Since you also say that the Cheng family's strength is terrifying, you should also understand that even if we knew that the Cheng family wanted to annex us, how could we have prevented it?" Lord Wu said helplessly.
"So no matter what, we have to get a backer that is stronger than the Cheng family. If this backer is not stronger than the Cheng family, it must be at least comparable!" said Director Zou.
"This is easier said than done. If it is so easy to find such a powerful backer, then why do we have to go to this point?" City Lord Wu felt that this proposal itself was unrealistic.
"That's not necessarily the case!" Director Zou said.
"Is it possible that Chief Zou can find such a powerful backer?" City Lord Wu looked at Chief Zou and asked with some disbelief.
"City Lord, I wonder if you have ever heard that a force called the Holy Dynasty has emerged in the world of cultivation in recent years?" Chief Zou asked.
"Holy Dynasty? Are you talking about the Holy Dynasty that has been annexing territory in the world of cultivation?" Lord Wu thought for a moment, seeming to think of such a force.
"Yes, that's it. They have continuously annexed many cities over the years, but the dynasty has nothing to do with them. It can be seen that this dynasty is more terrifying than the dynasty.
If we can ask them to take action, then what does the Cheng family mean? "Master Zou said.
"How is this possible? It is said that even the dynasty has not found them yet, so where can we find them?" City Lord Wu said.
"I recently heard the news that they will annex the Purple Wood City of the Purple Maple Alliance. We can send people there and maybe find them!" Director Zou revealed!
