Immortality Cultivation: I Can increase My Stats Using Clansmen's Qi-Blood
Chapter 1284: Chapter 629 Sunset City Storm_2
### But now, Elder Chen is using such a tone to speak to him, something he finds utterly unacceptable.
### "Elder Chen, I am the City Lord of Sunset City, and this position was personally conferred upon me by the Sect Master of Feiyun Sect."
### "Are you implying that you intend to strip me of my title as City Lord?"
### The City Lord of Sunset City glared at Elder Chen, articulating each word with precision.
### His heart was already ablaze with rage.
### He understood that the reason Elder Chen was speaking to him in such a manner was to seize his position as City Lord.
### Once he lost his title as City Lord, his standing within Feiyun Sect would also decline, rendering him a dispensable figure.
### This was something he absolutely could not accept.
### "Junior Brother, you’re mistaken."
### "I have no intention of stripping you of your title as City Lord; rather, I wish to help alleviate some of your burdens."
### "After all, you just recently broke through your Cultivation Realm and need time to stabilize your state."
### "If you remain in Sunset City dealing with those tedious affairs, it will be detrimental to your cultivation."
### "So, it would be better for you to focus solely on your cultivation, and leave the matters of Sunset City to me."
### Elder Chen spoke flatly.
### There was a faint, unquestionable authority in his tone.
### The City Lord of Sunset City’s face turned unsightly after hearing Elder Chen’s words, but he dared not act out.
### In his heart, he was fully aware that, although he bore the title of City Lord, his strength was still leagues beneath Elder Chen’s.
### If he provoked Elder Chen, he might very well be putting his life in danger.
### Thinking of this, the City Lord of Sunset City had to suppress the fury in his heart and said in a low voice: "Elder Chen, since you insist, I will temporarily entrust you with the affairs of Sunset City."
### "However, I hope you remember that Sunset City is my domain; every tree and blade of grass here are deeply tied to me."
### "If you dare act recklessly, I will absolutely not let you off lightly."
### As he spoke, the City Lord of Sunset City turned to leave.
### "Wait!"
### Elder Chen suddenly called out to the City Lord.
### The City Lord of Sunset City came to a halt, turning back to glare coldly at Elder Chen.
### "Junior Brother, though you hold the title of City Lord, you should be aware that Feiyun Sect is your true foundation."
### "If you dare betray Feiyun Sect, the consequences will be most dire."
### Elder Chen fixed his gaze on the City Lord, speaking coldly.
### The City Lord’s face shifted slightly upon hearing this.
### He knew full well that Elder Chen’s words were the truth.
### Feiyun Sect was indeed his cornerstone, and if he dared betray it, Feiyun Sect would never spare him.
### "Elder Chen, rest assured, I would never betray Feiyun Sect."
### "However, I do ask that you remember—I am the City Lord of Sunset City, and this is my domain."
### "If you dare act recklessly, I will never forgive you."
### With that, the City Lord of Sunset City turned and strode away.
### Watching the City Lord’s departing figure, a sinister glint flashed in Elder Chen’s eyes.
### "Ungrateful wretch. Once I fully take control of Sunset City, I’ll make you pay!"
### Elder Chen thought to himself darkly.
### He refrained from moving against the City Lord for now, knowing that the latter had just broken through in his cultivation and was currently at his strongest.
### If he were to act now, there was a high chance the City Lord would retaliate.
### Thus, he decided to bide his time for a while, waiting until the City Lord’s strength fully stabilized before making his move.
### ...
### Sunset City, City Lord’s Mansion.
### After returning to the City Lord’s Mansion, the City Lord of Sunset City immediately gathered some of his trusted confidants to discuss a course of action.
### "City Lord, Elder Chen’s sudden arrival and intention to assume control over Sunset City’s affairs clearly spell trouble for you."
### "City Lord, what should we do about this?"
### A middle-aged man dressed in black spoke up.
### This man, one of the City Lord’s trusted aides, had reached the Initial Realm of Mortal Transcendence, making him a respectable force within Sunset City.
### "Indeed, City Lord, Elder Chen’s strength is overwhelming; we are no match for him."
### "If he truly decides to take over Sunset City, there’s little we’ll be able to do to stop him."
### Another middle-aged man, clad in blue, added.
### This man was also one of the City Lord’s close confidants, and his strength was likewise at the Initial Stage of Mortal Transcendence.
### Hearing the words of his two aides, the City Lord of Sunset City furrowed his brows tightly and said in a grave tone: "Elder Chen’s strength is indeed formidable; we aren’t his rivals."
### "However, we cannot simply sit and wait for death."
### "We must find a way to stop Elder Chen from taking over Sunset City."
### "City Lord, what should we do?"
### After pondering for a moment, the City Lord said: "I have a plan we can try."
### "We can unite with the other forces within Sunset City to confront Elder Chen together."
### "As long as we combine our efforts, we can defeat Elder Chen and prevent him from taking over Sunset City."
### "City Lord, is this plan feasible?"
### The City Lord smiled faintly and replied: "Don’t worry, this plan will work."
### "As long as we can rally the other forces in Sunset City, we are bound to defeat Elder Chen."
### "Moreover, we might even use this opportunity to take complete control over Sunset City."
### As he spoke, a cold light glinted in the City Lord’s eyes.
### His real intent in allying with other forces was not merely to block Elder Chen but to seize complete dominance of Sunset City in one fell swoop.
### As the City Lord of Sunset City, naturally, he wished to become the true overlord of his realm.
### The arrival of Elder Chen presented him with the perfect opportunity.
### As long as he could defeat Elder Chen, he could take advantage of the situation to consolidate his rule and position himself as Sunset City’s undisputed master.
### "City Lord, we will fully support you in defeating Elder Chen and taking control of Sunset City!"
### ...
### Outside the City Lord’s Mansion.
### At this moment, Luo Yao and Ye Yunfei were at a nearby inn.
### It seemed they were discussing matters regarding the City Lord’s Mansion.
### "Brother Ye, what’s your opinion on the situation at the City Lord’s Mansion?"
### Ye Yunfei smiled faintly and said, "The City Lord of Sunset City may have broken through in cultivation, but unfortunately, he still lacks maturity."
### "He thinks that his strength alone will allow him to dominate Sunset City, but he has no idea how much more complex the world really is."
### Hearing this, Luo Yao nodded slightly.
### He naturally understood the point Ye Yunfei was trying to make.
### Though the City Lord was powerful, his youth and inexperience left him vulnerable to challenges far beyond his grasp.
### His ambition to dominate Sunset City faced serious difficulties.
### "Brother Ye, then what do you think we should do?"
### Ye Yunfei chuckled and replied, "We don’t need to do anything. Just watch and wait."
### "The conflict between the City Lord and Elder Chen will soon reach a conclusion."
### All we need to do is wait for the outcome and then act accordingly."
### Luo Yao was momentarily stunned by this response.
### He had expected some elaborate strategy or suggestion from Ye Yunfei, but instead, Ye Yunfei proposed inaction.
### Soon, however, he realized that this was indeed the wisest choice.
### After all, with their current strength, interfering in the struggle between the City Lord and Elder Chen would only invite unnecessary danger.
### "Brother Ye, you are right. We should indeed observe from a distance."
### Luo Yao nodded in agreement.
### The two exchanged a few more words before parting ways.
### ...
### Sunset City, City Lord’s Mansion.
### The City Lord of Sunset City was engrossed in discussions with his confidants on how to deal with Elder Chen.
### Suddenly, a middle-aged man in gray robes rushed in hurriedly.
