Overriding the Heaven

"Even so, the comfort and power of Gu Mei City is built on comparison."    

After a pause, the trusted aide of the Gu Mei City Lord took a deep breath and said.    

Chu Yan nodded and did not say anything.    

He still understood this logic.    

As the saying goes, the big fish eats the small fish, while the small fish eats the shrimp.    

For the shrimp, the small fish was naturally terrifying enough.    

But in the eyes of the small fish, the big fish was the most terrifying existence.    

On top of the big fish, there were also natural enemies that humans, demonic beasts, and so on could not resist.    

Therefore, even though the slave traders from the Zhan Family and the Chen Family didn't dare to offend the powerful Ancient Plum City, that didn't mean that the other forces didn't.    

For example, the Ten Thousand Ghost Sect!    

The Ten Thousand Ghost Sect had the right to offend the Ancient Plum City.    

Not only did they have the qualifications, but they had also been fighting back and forth for a long time!    

What happened today had actually happened many times in the past, so it wasn't strange at all.    

"This matter, it's actually a long story... In the end, our City Lord was born from grassroots, and didn't have a powerful family to back him up."    

The Gu Mei City's City Lord's trusted aide bitterly smiled as he spoke.    

Hearing this, Chu Yan thought of the Fourth Young Master.    

The Fourth Young Master of the Zheng Family.    

He did not know what kind of power the Zheng Family in the Immortal World was, but it was not hard to tell that they were not some small fish or shrimp judging from how they intentionally ate the Immortal Ascension Road.    

This kind of family's power had been passed down for a long time, so it was not easy to contend against them.    

Comparatively speaking, it would be much easier for them if they wanted to do something!    

The city lord of Gu Mei City obviously didn't have such a background.    

Even if he did not have a loose cultivator background, he should be grassroots and wild. In any case, he did not have a deep and powerful background.    

"That's right. The situation of our Gu Mei City is far less comfortable than what we imagined. After all, the Immortal World is in a great purge now. There are wild grasses everywhere, and the new king's power hasn't been stabilized yet. Our city lord can only suppress some families on the surface, but in fact, most of them are still unconvinced."    

"Hehe, that's true. If it was me, I would have been the king in Gu Mei City for many years, but suddenly, someone is above me. I wouldn't feel good about it either."    

"However, it just so happens that this position has been won by our City Lord. So what if they are unhappy? They can't do anything about it!"    

The trusted aide of the city lord of Gu Mei City said proudly.    

Chu Yan thought for a while and asked, "Then regarding the matter of the Myriad Wheel King..."    

"Cough, cough, cough, cough... Brother Chu Yan, don't be in such a hurry, this is what I want to say next!"    

One of the trusted aides of the Gu Mei City Lord coughed a few times and said, "According to the above reasons, and our City Lord changed sides midway, so right now, the Gu Mei City is even more peaceful on the surface, and there is a lot of hidden undercurrents inside."    

"As for betraying the Ten Thousand Wheel King... There must be a reason for this matter!"    

The confidant of the Gu Mei City Lord explained to Chu Yan, "The City Lord has always been a man of great ambitions. The reason he followed the Ten Thousand Wheel King was just to plot a future for himself, but the Ten Thousand Wheel King... Hehe, you have also seen that the Ten Thousand Wheel King is an extremely arrogant and self-opinionated person. Although the City Lord worked for the Ten Thousand Wheel King, the Ten Thousand Wheel King did not know what it meant to judge the situation at all. In the situation at that time, it was actually the best to cooperate with him. He thought that it would be fine even if it was just a snake, but the Ten Thousand Wheel King is too stubborn. If he continues to persist, everyone will die!"    

"The lord of the city does not wish to die, and neither does anyone else. And if something really happens to the Wheel King, then those who have been under the protection of the Wheel King will surely be implicated, so the lord of the city has no choice but to change sides and think of the whole situation. This is for the sake of the people! "    

Gu Mei City's City Lord's confidant sighed and said.    

Of course, Chu Yan would at most believe half of these words and would not completely believe them.    

For example, for the sake of the common people in the world.    

Chu Yan did not think that a completely kind person could be the lord of a city.    

The City Lord could be kind, but he could not be so kind, that's all.    

"In short, there are a lot of things that need to be done in our Gu Mei City. If you join us, you will definitely have a lot to do!"    

"Not to mention, Chu Yan, you have already made several meritorious contributions. When we return to Gu Mei City, I will definitely ask for credit for you."    

"As for Chu Yan, if you have any difficulties, you can absolutely tell the City Lord about it. The City Lord will definitely do his best to recruit a talent like you!"    

The trusted aide of the Gu Mei City Lord could tell that Chu Yan was not ordinary with a single glance. He dared to say that in the future, Chu Yan would definitely have a place in the Immortal World!    

Right now, they were trying to recruit Chu Yan because they wanted to seize the initiative. This was a good thing!    

Chu Yan nodded slightly and agreed for the time being.    

It was not the first day that he had come out to adventure, so he naturally knew that in the current situation of the Immortal World, no matter what kind of force he joined, there would always be corresponding enemies. In any case, it was impossible for there to be no enemies.    

Since that was the case, then no matter which force Chu Yan joined, it would be the same.    

Moreover, Gu Mei City was really fated to be with him.    

If it wasn't for Gu Mei City, Chu Yan might have been entangled with the Zhan Family and the Chen Family.    

Although Chu Yan was not afraid of them, he had just arrived, so he did not want to use all of his hidden trump cards.    

Therefore, joining Gu Mei City might be a good decision.    

Seeing Chu Yan nod, the trusted aide of the city lord of Gu Mei City was also very happy.    

After all, he was very optimistic about Chu Yan's potential.    

Moreover, he also recommended Chu Yan to the City Lord. This was a meritorious service, and he would also be able to gain Chu Yan's personal friendship!    

This was very rare.    

If one day, Chu Yan could become one of the most powerful people in the Immortal World, then his friendship today would be worth a lot of money!    

Of course, he was just thinking about it. How could it be that easy to be the most powerful person in the Immortal World? Even the City Lord might not have such an opportunity.    

However, he was still very optimistic about Chu Yan's potential and thought that Chu Yan really had the chance to rise up and that it wouldn't be strange for him to become a figure like the City Lord in the future!    

In short, this kind of good relationship did not require any capital, so why wouldn't he do it?    

After that, everyone rested for a while and continued on their journey back to Gu Mei City.    

On the way, the old man and the others kept getting closer and asked the confidants of the city lord whether the city lord still wanted more people. They could join and sincerely serve the city lord.    

In response to this question, the confidants of the Gu Mei City Lord only smiled and didn't say anything. They didn't say yes, nor did they say no.    

The reason they did so was because the Old Man and the others were too weak.    

Although they were only at the Dao Fruit Stage, compared to Chu Yan, they were much weaker!    

Although their Gu Mei City Lord's Mansion was short of people, not everyone wanted them.
