Rebirth in the Last World: Cultivation with a Baby

Chapter 936 Returning to Tianhe City
Zhu Tianliang had his reasons for instructing Fu En to say this.

Chairman Jing and Yan Cheng are both quite old, yet they firmly hold onto their important positions. Despite the fact that their forces have developed quite well over the past 50 years, their status remains unshakable.

In the past two years, he has noticed signs of declining health in Chairman Jingyuan. As long as Chairman Jingyuan's health deteriorates, the power under his command will naturally change, and then he can take advantage of the situation.

Who knew that at such a crucial moment, Rong Xianxian, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, would suddenly appear. He had to find a way to give Rong Xianxian something to do so that she wouldn't have time to pay attention to Jincheng, or to sow discord between Rong Xianxian and Jingyuan and the others. If he could make them turn against each other, that would be the best outcome.

“Resisting foreign lands has never been a matter of one person’s strength. There’s no need to entrust our life and death to one person. Besides, City Lord Rong has no direct subordinate relationship with our military. She doesn’t owe us anything. On the contrary, she has turned the tide many times and saved us from crises. No one has the right to order her around.” President Jingyuan retorted sternly.

"What the guild leader says is true. Alas, City Lord Rong is our compatriot and our pioneer. If everything goes smoothly, we would not want to trouble her. But guild leader, in the 50 years since City Lord Rong disappeared, the Soul Jade she stored has been exhausted, causing various means of countering alien invasions, such as bio-mechanical armor and soul-capturing arrays, to come to a standstill. Even if the defensive array developed by City Lord Ning can protect the safety of large safe zones, how many people in those small safe zones with insufficient populations have died tragically at the hands of alien evil cultivators? Once the aliens launch their tenth invasion, the consequences will be unimaginable." An elderly man with white hair said worriedly.

The old man's face looked very aged, exuding a deathly aura; he was a renowned research expert.

"Everyone, I have contacted Tianhe City and invited City Lord Rong and City Lord Ning to Jincheng to discuss important matters. If we do not receive a reply within ten days, I plan to personally visit Tianhe City and pay my respects to the two city lords." The one who spoke was Zhu Tianliang, who was over 90 years old. However, he had good cultivation aptitude and had entered the Blood Refining Realm more than ten years ago. Nourished by spiritual energy, he looked to be only in his early 50s and had excellent physical condition.

In Zhu Tianliang's view, among the existing senior leaders before the apocalypse, he was the one with the highest cultivation level and the longest lifespan, and he should rightfully assume the great responsibility of leading the military in the future.

After the meeting, in Chairman Jingyuan's office, Minister Yancheng paced back and forth anxiously. "Chairman, we haven't been able to contact Rong Xianxian and Ning Qingyun. If Zhu Tianliang and the others manage to get in touch, we'll be in trouble."

"Minister Yan, stop pacing around. You're so old, why are you still so impatient? We have no conflict with Rong Xianxian and her husband. Given our past relationship with them, if we can't contact them, no one else can either. Anyway, Lord Rong has already shown up, we'll be able to get in touch sooner or later, don't worry," President Jingyuan reassured him.

"President, I'm sending Zishu and Tianming to Tianhe City. Regardless of whether the two city lords are there or not, we need to make our stance clear," said Minister Yancheng.

"Yes, go through the teleportation array. If you don't see Rong Xianxian and Ning Qingyun, you can see Ning Xuan and Ning Xiaoluo. Let Ye Wushuang go with you too. Isn't he on good terms with Shen Yong'an, who's with Ning Xuan? Ask him for more information," President Jingyuan instructed.

Although he appeared calm on the surface, he was actually very anxious inside. In recent years, his health had been deteriorating. For decades, he had been training a qualified successor, but unfortunately, with Zhu Tianliang's faction around, the successors he had trained had difficulty suppressing the Second Legion's forces.

Zhu Tianliang's stance on extraterrestrial forces was not firm. If he were to pass away one day and Zhu Tianliang took control of the military, he might not be able to resolutely resist any invasion from extraterrestrial forces. "Alright, I'll make the arrangements right away." Minister Yan Cheng turned and left.

Rong Xianxian and Ning Qingyun stayed in that ancient secret realm for twenty days. Rong Xianxian's injuries from being struck by the Heavenly Dao rules had almost healed, and Ning Qingyun's hidden injuries accumulated over the years had also been mostly healed under Rong Xianxian's treatment.

Both of them knew in their hearts that they could no longer hide; there were still many things outside waiting for them to deal with.

After Rong Xianxian and Ning Qingyun left the secret realm, they returned to Tianhe City in an instant thanks to the location provided by the rune teleportation mirror.

The two appeared at the City Lord's Mansion in Tianhe City. Chang Qing spotted them immediately and rushed over to greet them.

"Madam, you're finally back." Chang Qing said excitedly, his voice trembling as he looked at Rong Xianxian, whose appearance had not changed at all.

Chang Qing's cultivation aptitude is average. Even after consuming a lot of resources, his cultivation level remains at a medium level. Currently, he is at the Life Fire Realm and has not been able to break through for decades. Judging from his appearance, he is already a middle-aged man around 40 years old.

"It's been a long time, Changqing, how are you?" Rong Xianxian greeted him with a smile.

"It's alright, it would be even better if Madam were here." Chang Qing couldn't control his emotions, and his eyes were a little moist.

"Madam, over the past few decades, the population of our Tianhe New City has been steadily increasing. The number of city guards in the 13 cities has reached 13, and we have defended against no fewer than ten sieges by alien beasts every year without ever losing our city," Chang Qing reported with some pride.

“Very good, let’s go to the council hall. Cui Lie and Jiang Jie are here.” Rong Xianxian glanced at Ning Qingyun.

Ning Qingyun nodded, and the three of them walked towards the front yard.

“The two young masters have gone to inspect the secret realm. General Yan Zishu and General Deng Tianming came from Jincheng a week ago, stayed at the city lord’s mansion for two days, and then went to look for the two young masters. Now the two young masters have probably received news of your return and will be back soon.” Chang Qing told Rong Xianxian about the recent events in Tianhe City one by one.
