Zheng Dong came out of seclusion.
"Have you refined it?"
Ling Chen asked with a smile.
Zheng Dong nodded vigorously, his face filled with respect.
Ling Chen was actually able to bring in a top-grade Emperor Spiritual Weapon; his methods are simply heavenly.
You should know, even outside, he had never possessed a top-grade Emperor Spiritual Weapon.
He entered here a hundred years ago.
At that time, top-grade Emperor Spiritual Weapons were even more scarce.
Back then, he was only a Late Seven Stars Emperor.
It was impossible for him to get a top-grade Emperor Spiritual Weapon.
Unexpectedly, after entering the World Prison, he could actually use a top-grade Emperor Spiritual Weapon.
"Alright, gather most of the cultivators and to Purple Cloud City."
Zheng Dong responded respectfully.
Soon, he brought Fang Jie in.
The other cultivators had already entered the world inside Fang Jie’s body.
The three of them turned into streaks of light and flew towards the northeast.
The three of them arrived at Purple Cloud City.
"Rest here for a while."
Ling Chen instructed.
Fang Jie immediately responded.
He released the Late Seven Stars Emperors.
With so many people, they’d also be safer.
Ling Chen then went with Zheng Dong to the outside of Purple Cloud City.
"This is Lord Ling of Black Water City, here to seek an audience with City Lord Xia today!"
Zheng Dong handed over the calling card.
Ling Chen becoming a city lord, killing Mo Qinglan, such matters couldn’t possibly be concealed from Xia Ziyun.
Thus, the two of them revealed their identities directly, without any concealment.
"Please wait a moment!"
The City Guard Army saluted Ling Chen and Zheng Dong slightly before someone went into the city.
After about waiting a quarter of an hour.
A middle-aged woman appeared at the city gate.
"I’ve long heard of Lord Ling from Black Water City, but seeing is indeed even more impressive than hearing!"
Xia Ziyun looked at Ling Chen with a warm smile.
Ling Chen saluted slightly.
Xia Ziyun gestured invitingly, "Please, both of you!"
"City Lord Xia, after you!"
Ling Chen cupped his hands and said.
Then, the three of them entered Purple Cloud City.
Before long, they arrived at a grand hall.
At this time, a banquet had already been prepared in the hall.
Many Late Seven Stars powerhouses stood up to welcome them.
The guests took their seats.
"Indeed, heroes emerge from the youth! I really did not expect for Young Master Ling, such an exceptional talent, to be sent here by Mu Qing!"
Xia Ziyun said with a smile.
To kill an Eight Stars Emperor, even ordinary talents couldn’t achieve it.
She was very curious, what earth-shattering deed Ling Chen had done, for even such talent was not enough to atone for his crime!
"City Lord Xia flatters me."
Ling Chen said with a smile, "I had no choice, I killed Mu Qing’s Northern Territory Governor! How could he let me go?"
Xia Ziyun’s eyes brightened, "Was it the Northern Territory Governor?"
Ling Chen smiled and said, "If it were a Governor from any other four territories, how would he have locked me up?"
Hearing this, Xia Ziyun understood.
No wonder Ling Chen had caused such a stir shortly after entering the World Prison!
It turns out that this young man was already troublesome outside!
The wine had gone around three times, and the dishes had displayed five flavors!
"Lord Ling, I don’t like beating around the bush. If you have something to say, just say it!"
"Direct! I like that."
Ling Chen laughed and said, "Then I’ll speak my mind."
Xia Ziyun looked all ears.
"The thing is, I want to borrow a hundred Cultivators from City Lord Xia!"
Ling Chen smiled as he spoke.
Upon hearing this, Xia Ziyun looked astonished.
She had thought Ling Chen was here to form an alliance with her to confront Blue Spirit City!
But to her surprise, he actually wanted to borrow troops.
The other World Realm late-stage Cultivators also wore expressions of disbelief.
"I won’t conceal my intentions from you, City Lord Xia. I want to obliterate Blue Spirit City."
Ling Chen’s gaze suddenly sharpened.
"Why would you do that?"
Ling Chen smiled and said, "City Lord Xia, you must be aware that we are facing a scarcity of Spirit Crystals here. If I want to Cultivate, I naturally have to target Blue Spirit City."
Xia Ziyun smiled and said, "I heard that Lord Ling is quite generous. Hundreds of thousands of top-grade Spirit Crystals, you can hand them out to your subordinates without a second thought!"
"City Lord Xia jests. That was merely a tactic to win people over. Moreover, do you think I would just give away so many Spirit Crystals for nothing? I naturally intend to compensate for them from other sources!"
"That makes some sense!"
Xia Ziyun nodded and said, "However, Lord Ling, if you want to borrow troops from me, how can you assure me that you’re not here to target me?" The most update n0vels are published on 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝓷𝓮𝓽
Ling Chen is a Divine Soul Master, after all.
Maybe he has ways to control Imperial World Realm Experts.
If she lends them out and then Ling Chen turns against her, what should she do?
"City Lord Xia, rest assured. You could simply appoint a World Realm seventh-order Commander from your side. You should be aware of my methods; at most, they might affect the World Realm seventh-order Experts’ execution of Spirit Arts, but they are not powerful enough to kill them. Thus, it’s impossible for me to control them."
"Moreover, I’m only borrowing a hundred Cultivators. Including these individuals, my side will have merely three hundred and fifty or sixty people, while your Purple Cloud City should still have close to four hundred."
"In addition, my techniques are ineffective against you. Your real contender is Zheng Dong. So even if we wanted to target you, we would not be your match. And your people could become a ticking time bomb at any time. Do you think I would be so foolish?"
"Overall, lending troops to me will not harm you in the least."
"And there’s the most crucial point, which is my offer. City Lord Xia, you likely cannot refuse!"
He flicked his finger, and a spatial ring flew towards Xia Ziyun.
Xia Ziyun caught it and attuned herself as the owner directly.
When she sensed the contents within the spatial ring, her beautiful eyes suddenly solidified, a serious expression crossed her face, and her delicate body trembled slightly.
"City Lord Xia, although I’ve been to World Prison, I can offer this item. I’m sure you understand what that implies! Mu Qing may not value my talents, but others do. What may seem impossible to you is not too difficult for me."
Ling Chen said with a smile.
Xia Ziyun clutched the spatial ring tightly, her eyes moving as she seemed to ponder something.
Seeing this reaction, Ling Chen began to pour and drink on his own.
As if he was the true master here!
The several Imperial World Realm Experts were all uncertain.
What sort of treasure had Ling Chen presented to make the City Lord so excited?
"Fine, Lord Ling, I agree!"
Xia Ziyun took a deep breath.
"Good, I’m happy to cooperate!"
Ling Chen’s smile blossomed.
He believed that this prideful being, Xia Ziyun, would not refuse.
Because what he offered to Xia Ziyun was an Emperor Spiritual Weapon of high quality.
Just from the Murong Family alone, Ling Chen had obtained three.
From the Soul City Zhao Family, he obtained another two.
So he was not short of them.
This Emperor Spiritual Weapon was indeed a temptation.
But it was also a threat.
If Ling Chen could offer an Emperor Spiritual Weapon to her, Zheng Dong might have one as well.
If Zheng Dong had already refined it, Xia Ziyun might not even be his match.
Therefore, Xia Ziyun had no choice but to agree.
"Hold on, Lord Ling, you can’t let my men be the front line. They must be returned within ten days!"
Once she had refined the Emperor Spiritual Weapon, she would be more than capable of defeating Zheng Dong.
By then, her ambitions would not be confined to this one place.
Afterwards, the two made a written contract.
Xia Ziyun then selected a hundred Cultivators for Ling Chen.
