Just three months after everyone left Qingyang City, the city lords of these alliances received three shocking news one after another.
The three alliances, namely the Ting'an Alliance, the Gaofang Alliance and the Qingwei Alliance, have all announced their annexation to the Cheng family's sphere of influence.
Of course, what shocked these city lords even more was that the city lords of these three alliances had collectively changed. There were even rumors that these three city lords had disappeared.
Moreover, the three newly appointed city lords are all masters of the tribulation period personally sent by the Cheng family, which is very meaningful.
Qinghe Alliance Qinghe City!
"Everyone has also seen that the Anding Alliance, Gaofang Alliance and Qingwei Alliance have had troubles one after another, and even the three city lords have disappeared, which means that the Cheng family has taken action." After receiving the news, the Qinghe City Lord sent Qinghe City's The principals came over.
"City Lord, the Cheng family's actions are really clean and neat. They captured three alliances so quickly, and this matter didn't cause any trouble in the three alliances. This Cheng family is really terrible!" Director Zhao said.
"This is also the reason why so many of our alliances in Qingyang City did not dare to challenge the Cheng family!" said the Lord of Qinghe City.
"In this way, when City Lord Zhou asked us to open all the gates, the City Lord's decision was really correct.
It can be seen from the three major alliances that if we had rejected City Lord Zhou's request at that time, I am afraid that we would have been captured by the Cheng family before these three major alliances! "When Mr. Zhao thinks about it now, he is even a little scared.
After their showdown with the Cheng family, City Lord Zhou asked them to open all the gates.
When the city lord decided to do this, he even stopped it.
Fortunately, the city lord did not listen to his opinion in the end, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Perhaps the current Qinghe Alliance, like those three alliances, has become the sphere of influence of the Cheng family.
"People have to bow their heads when they are under the eaves. The Cheng family is so strong. If you have a head-on conflict with them, you will definitely not end well." Qinghe City Lord said.
In fact, after learning about these three alliances, he was also frightened.
If City Lord Zhou had asked him to open all the gates when he was in Qingyang City, but he had not done so, then everything today would not be so simple.
"City Lord, now that the Cheng family has suddenly taken over these three alliances, will they come to trouble us again?
Judging from the current situation, even if so many of our alliances want to resist together, I'm afraid it won't have any effect! "A principal named He stood up and said.
"This shouldn't be the case. The reason why those three alliances were attacked by the Cheng family was because they did not come to Qingyang City in the first place. This was just a punishment given to them by the Cheng family.
If the Cheng family really wanted to take action against our alliance, City Lord Zhou would have already taken action against us when he was in Qingyang City.
Therefore, this matter should be over here. It is basically impossible for the Cheng family to attack other alliances! "Qinghe City Lord shook his head and said.
"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. City Lord, I think the fact that these three alliances were swallowed up by the Cheng family is just an excuse.
If the Cheng family finds another excuse, they will inevitably not attack our Qinghe Alliance or other alliances again! "Master He continued.
"City Lord, I think Chief He's worry is not unreasonable. This time, the Cheng family actually took down three alliances so quietly, and these three alliances are stronger than us.
If the Cheng family is concerned about our alliance at some point, and the Cheng family is so strong that we can't even resist by then, wouldn't the result be the same as theirs? "Director Zhao said.
"Then, do the leaders present have any good ideas to help our Qinghe Alliance avoid the covetousness of the Cheng family?" The Qinghe City Lord pondered for a while and asked everyone in the hall.
I have to say that he was really worried when he saw those three alliances being swallowed up by the Cheng family so quietly.
If this happened in their Qinghe Alliance, he was absolutely sure that the result would not be any different.
Compared with the powerful Cheng family, their strength is too weak.
When there were so many alliance city lords here, I thought they could bargain with the Cheng family.
But what about the result?
Under the strength of City Lord Zhou, no one could make the Cheng family take a step back.
You know, City Lord Zhou didn't bring many people with him that day, he just brought City Lord Bai and a few other companions.
If the Cheng family really plans to form various alliances, then they will definitely not only have such a few people by then.
More importantly, at that time, each alliance faced the Cheng family alone, instead of being able to all come together like that day.
Therefore, once the Cheng family becomes interested in various alliances, if the Cheng family wants to annex everyone, there will definitely be no second outcome.
"City Lord, I think there are only two ways for us to keep the Qinghe Alliance!" Director Zhao said.
"What two methods?" Qinghe City Lord asked.
"The first one is to find a helper who can check and balance the Cheng family. As long as we have this helper, the Cheng family will naturally not be able to do whatever they want to us like they do now." Deacon Zhao said.
"A helper who can check and balance the Cheng family? But where can we find such a powerful helper?" Qinghe City Lord frowned.
"If you ask me, the best helper is the Dynasty. But you can see it by looking at the situation in other alliances. The Dynasty probably won't get involved in this matter.
I even wonder if this dynasty has reached some kind of agreement with the Cheng family. Otherwise, how could they allow the Cheng family to repeatedly encroach on the dynasty's territory? "Director Zhao said.
"I also find this very strange. I heard before that someone from the Dynasty was looking for the Cheng family. But later there was no news. I don't know whether the Dynasty reached an agreement with the Cheng family, or whether the Dynasty was also afraid of the Cheng family." The Lord of Qinghe City shook his head and said.
"Whether they have reached an agreement or not, what is certain is that it is unlikely that we will find Dynasty for help.
And I think those cities and alliances that have been annexed by the Cheng family over the years may not have looked for the dynasty, but the Cheng family is still in peace, so the dynasty should be eliminated by us! "Director Zhao continued.
"Then does Mr. Zhao have other goals that can help us?" Qinghe City Lord asked.
"This is what I want to tell the city lord. Based on our understanding of the world of cultivation over the years, it is impossible to find such a force around us that is comparable to the Cheng family.
If you really want to look for it, you can only find some alliance forces that may be comparable to the Cheng family by going further afield.
If that doesn't work, maybe we can only go to Dongzhou overseas to look for it, because there are many powerful forces there! "Director Zhao explained.
"Far water cannot save the near fire. Even if we can find those forces, they are so far away from the Cheng family. In fact, it is difficult to pose any threat to the Cheng family." The Lord of Qinghe City shook his head and said.
What Director Zhao said is indeed very reasonable. The world of cultivation is so big, and he also knows that there are indeed many powerful forces in the outside world.
Although there are many city alliances, those city alliances are not comparable to these alliances at all.
Some alliances are even more powerful than any of the original ten sects, but they have no dealings with those sects, just like them.
Therefore, everyone did not interfere with each other. Even if the various sects in the cultivation world were in chaos and there was a bloodbath, these alliances would not be affected in any way.
However, precisely because these alliances are powerful, it is not easy to get their help.
More importantly, most alliances at this level are too far away from them. It is simply unrealistic for them to suppress the Cheng family.
As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. No matter how strong they are, they cannot bring all their power here.
"Although this is somewhat difficult, there is nothing we can do about it. After all, we don't have the ability to deal with the Cheng family ourselves, so we can only rely on the strength of outsiders!" Director Zhao said helplessly.
"Then what is the second method that the deacon just mentioned?" Qinghe City Lord asked.
"This second method is more direct. Since we can't fight the Cheng family, we just obey.
If we can return to the Cheng family, then all these problems will naturally be solved! "Director Zhao said.
"This won't work. If we surrender to the Cheng family, what difference will there be between us and these three alliances? And we still take the initiative to send them to the door. Doesn't this make our Qinghe Alliance lose face in front of the surrounding forces?" But Director Zhao's As soon as the second method was proposed, many principals stood up and expressed their opposition.
"Mr. Zhao, is this your method?" Upon hearing this method, the Lord of Qinghe City was also a little disappointed.
"City Lord, in fact, even if we submit to the Cheng family, we can still put forward conditions!" Director Zhao said.
"What conditions?" Qinghe City Lord said with great interest.
Obviously, he is no longer very interested in Chief Zhao's methods.
"City Lord, I have already inquired. Although the Baicheng Alliance has surrendered to the Cheng family, the Cheng family will not interfere in the internal affairs of the Baicheng Alliance, and has also given them the tasks of the Cheng family.
If we are like the Baicheng Alliance, although we submit to the Cheng family, we do not allow the Cheng family to interfere in our internal affairs, and we can even get tasks from the Cheng family, wouldn't it become a good thing? "Mr. Zhao said with a smile.
"Where did you hear this? Is this news reliable?" Qinghe City Lord's eyes suddenly lit up, and he suddenly became energetic again.
"In the past few months, I sent some people to the Baicheng Alliance to investigate the situation, and even spent a lot of money to get this secret information!" Director Zhao said.
