They were shouting and fighting below, but the Lord of Tianfeng City actually wanted to secretly cooperate with the Free Heaven Country.
Wang Yang said indifferently: "As I said, believe it or not, it’s up to you, but I am rely stating a fact."
General Lin and General Ze fell silent; if this were true, what was the point of their fighting?
Even the City Lord wanted to negotiate with their demon adversary; wouldn’t their battle beco a joke?
Seeing the three of them heartily shaken, Wang Yang seized the opportunity to strike while the iron was hot.
"This world is not simply black or white. My Free Heaven Country indeed poses a great threat to Tianfeng City, but from another perspective, with us here, who could shake Tianfeng City in the future?"
"Now that the Yuanqing Sect is destroyed and the Ten Thousand Demons Sect remains neutral, they can also be removed. With this major reshuffling, Tianfeng City is bound to change its appearance. Don’t you want to see this scenario?"
Under Wang Yang’s alluring words, a wavering began to form in the hearts of the three.
On the side, the Water General secretly admired; indeed, the master of the Free Heaven Country is no ordinary person.
General Lin sighed: "We were fighting to the death earlier, and now we’re about to make peace. This makes us..."
For them, this was incredibly difficult to accept, knowing they had lost so many n earlier, only to now shake hands with their enemies. This truly was an unacceptable fact.
"General Lin, have I not been driven to this point by the forr Lord of Tianfeng City?"
The Water General suddenly said, "General Lin surely knows the kind of person I am. If I hadn’t been pushed to the brink, would I choose this path?"
General Lin remained silent. The Water General was famously honest, yet he beca soone collaborating with the Free Heaven Country.
Among the Eight Great Generals, General Lin could believe anyone else would cooperate with the Free Heaven Country, even General Shan.
But he found it hard to believe that the Water General chose the Free Heaven Country, and now he had beco the Lord of Tianfeng City!
Looking back, all of this seed sowhat dreamlike, but the truth stood before him, impossible to ignore.
The Water General sincerely said, "There is no point in dwelling on the past. I will give my all to govern Tianfeng City well in the future, ensuring that previous situations will not occur again. Moreover, the Free Heaven Country will take over Yuanqing Sect and the Ten Thousand Demons Sect, supporting each other openly and covertly. How could such a phenonon recur in Tianfeng City?"
The three exchanged glances; at first glance, it seed like a very promising plan, but would it really be as perfect as imagined?
Wang Yang added: "In the end, our Free Heaven Country only seeks profit and resources, not excessive loss of life. Let’s stop here; if the three Generals continue fighting, the losses will surely multiply. Is that what any of you want to see?"
"Alas..."
General Ze and General Lin slowly unclenched their tightly held fists, choosing to reconcile with the Free Heaven Country.
"Even so, we still cannot fully trust you. If there’s anything amiss, we will report it up above. No matter the cost, I will make your Free Heaven Country vanish!"
"Rest assured, we only seek our interests and will not overstep, but we hope you don’t exceed your bounds either."
Wang Yang smiled faintly.
His gaze settled on the Fire General: "What does the Fire General think?"
"With them agreeing, what choice do I have? But my stance is the sa as theirs. If there is any movent, we shall not compromise again. I hope you rember this point!"
With a wave of his hand, Wang Yang produced three teacups before them.
"In that case, here’s to our successful cooperation, wiping the slate clean, and governing Tianfeng City together in the future."
Wang Yang drank his tea in one gulp.
Though hesitant, the three also drank their tea.
However, after drinking, they felt their cultivation levels fluctuating.
"Truly good tea!"
After finishing the tea, the three Generals looked at the cups with so reluctance, wishing for another cup.
"Since this matter is settled, there’s no need for to stay. Regarding the Ten Thousand Demons Sect and the Yuanqing Sect, I ask for the City Lord’s cooperation when the ti cos."
Wang Yang took a step and vanished before their eyes.
Witnessing such divine skills, the three Generals couldn’t help but marvel, "What plot does such a person with such cultivation have to lead a rebel group?"
The Water General addressed the three: "Now that we’ve agreed to cooperate, let’s discuss further."
Though they agreed to cooperate, the Fire General remained dissatisfied with the new Lord of Tianfeng City: "Wasn’t the discussion finished? What’s left to discuss?"
"Reaching this point was out of desperation. While I admit the Free Heaven Country has influenced , I do not regret this step today!"
The Water General’s words were sincerely spoken; being familiar with him, General Lin naturally could discern truth from falsehood: "City Lord, there’s no need to say more; let this matter be over, but I hope you won’t deceive us together with the Free Heaven Country for greater gain."
The Water General smiled lightly: "Rest assured, General Lin, Tianfeng City is not just yours; it is mine as well. How could I destroy my own ho?"
"Very well!"
General Lin bowed and then left the City Lord Mansion, followed by the other two Generals.
Now, only the Water General remained inside the Tianfeng City Lord Mansion.
He hadn’t expected to reach this point; the journey here had indeed seed surreal.
The Deputy General entered after the others had left and asked, "City Lord, is it really..."
The Lord of Tianfeng City smiled, "This matter is resolved; Tianfeng City will only beco more stable in the future."
"Is the Free Heaven Country really trustworthy? Their machinations run deep; if they strike internally, I’m afraid no one can withstand it, right?"
Hearing the Deputy’s doubts, the City Lord naturally had his reservations.
"What choice do we have now? We must take it one step at a ti!"
Wang Yang returned to Cloud Extinction Mountain with good news, greatly boosting the morale of the Free Heaven Country.
Xiu Huang laughed heartily: "This is great! Soon, our Free Heaven Country can freely enter and exit Tianfeng City. We truly are the Free Heaven Country!"
"Don’t celebrate too soon."
Wang Yang poured cold water over their enthusiasm: "Taking Tianfeng City is just the first success in our plan; the second step is to break out of Linzhou. What do you all think?"
"So soon?"
The others were montarily stunned, not expecting the second step to erge so quickly.
It seed too ambitious, almost unbelievable.
Wang Yang addressed the crowd: "Of course, we won’t imdiately break out of Linzhou, but you must be ntally prepared. Invading the Four Cities of Weishui River and Tianfeng City has provided you with ample experience, yet these were rely warm-ups. Your true battleground lies ahead."
Du Feng bowed: "We heed Your Majesty’s command!"
The others also bowed: "We heed Your Majesty’s command!"
"Du Feng."
Wang Yang looked at Du Feng: "With the Yuanqing Sect destroyed, now is the ti to fill the void. Take people to rebuild the Yuanqing Sect; the structure remains, but the content changes. It will be our foothold in Tianfeng City."
Du Feng was equally excited: "I accept the command and will organize imdiately!"
After Du Feng left, Wang Yang’s attention turned to Ping Xiao: "Regarding the Ten Thousand Demons Sect, I’ve already discussed it with the Three Great Generals and the new Lord of Tianfeng City. It cannot remain within Tianfeng City; before the overall situation stabilizes, leverage the montum to eliminate the Ten Thousand Demons Sect. Apply the sa thod."
"Ping Xiao receives the order!" Ping Xiao also bowed and retreated.
Left with Xiu Huang and Kui Jiang, they were sowhat anxious to know their roles.
