I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Chapter 1921 Regulations

When they mentioned the need to pay, everyone frowned.

After all, Rainbow City is the most powerful force at present, and the amount of payment is definitely not a small amount.

“I don’t know how to pay the fee?”

Porcello asked.

"You can pay once or annually. The specific amount is still under discussion. I would like to remind everyone so that everyone can be mentally prepared."

Jin Ruhua gave the answer.

Someone else spoke up immediately.

"Alliance leader, isn't this rule a bit harsh? The Rainbow Bridge is an ancient relic and does not belong to anyone. If you forcibly charge a fee, I'm afraid it will cause a backlash, right?"

"Yes, this rule is a bit overbearing, and I'm afraid some people will not accept it."

"The Rainbow Bridge is so big, can it be guarded?"

“Who gets the fees collected?”

Everyone spoke one after another, and basically everyone expressed opposition.

Jin Ruhua knew that such a situation would happen.

He explained calmly, "The controlled area is limited to the section above Rainbow City, which is about ten thousand miles away. The rest of the area is under the management of the Rainbow Guards. As for whether it is overbearing or not..."

She glanced at the crowd.

"I think everyone here is a high-level cultivator, and we shouldn't be so naive. Speaking of being domineering, why didn't anyone stand up to oppose us when we risked our lives to protect the weird cultivators?"

“Do we need to pay for it?”

Someone asked immediately.

Those who can sit here are all old monsters who have practiced for countless years. No one cares about fairness or unfairness.

The reason they jumped out to oppose is simply because they don’t want their own interests to be harmed.

Jin Ruhua naturally understood what everyone was thinking.

In a gentle tone, he said, "Anyone who has supported the construction of Rainbow City does not have to pay any fees, and will be given a certain number of free places based on their contribution."

Everyone immediately fell silent.

Rainbow City has demarcated the Rainbow Bridge within a thousand miles, indicating that this range must have huge benefits.

As long as they can go anytime.

Jin Ruhua continued to speak.

"As for the purpose of collecting fees, it is mainly to maintain the operation of Rainbow City and explore the Rainbow Bridge."

Explained it.

She looked at everyone and asked, "Does anyone else have any doubts about this?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"Okay, then, let's talk about the third one."

"This one is about living in Rainbow City."

Speaking of which.

All the elders sat up straight.

When the Rainbow City was first being planned and built, it was said that practicing here could absorb the energy of the Rainbow Bridge, increase the speed of practice, make up for the flaws in the avenue, and advance to the Eternal Realm.

This is why everyone is willing to fully support the construction of Rainbow City.

Jin Ruhua took a sip of the spiritual tea.

He put down the teacup and said, "It's the same as before. Anyone who has provided resources for the construction of Rainbow City will have the right to live here permanently, and a certain number of places will be allocated."

Pause briefly.

He continued, "But there is a restriction. If you want to advance to the Tribulation Transcendence Stage in the city, you must apply in advance and do it on a dedicated Tribulation Transcendence Stage to avoid causing damage to the city's facilities."

“You also need to pay for the expenses yourself.”

"besides."

Jin Ruhua's tone became heavier.

"No one is allowed to use the treasures of the cave to secretly bring people into the city. Once discovered, their permanent residency qualification will be revoked!"

No one said anything.

These conditions are normal and can make them feel superior, so they naturally will not object.

"Article 4."

Jin Ruhua glanced at everyone, especially lingering on the faces of a few elders.

Then he said in a deep voice: "After discussion among the seven elders, it has been decided that the seven forces in the city will sign a peace treaty and must not attack each other, otherwise they will be jointly sanctioned by other forces!"

Everyone looked at each other.

Someone immediately spoke in a deep voice.

"Can we write off the grudge between us and the strange monk?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere became depressing.

After so many years of fighting, countless cultivators have died at the hands of strange monks, and countless paradises have been breached.

The hatred between the cultivators in the Void Realm and the strange cultivators cannot be resolved with just a few words.

Jin Ruhua's eyelids twitched.

She knew that if this matter was not handled properly, her prestige as the leader of the alliance would be greatly challenged.

He immediately said, "It is definitely impossible to write it off completely."

Express your attitude first.

Then he sighed.

He said sadly: "But it is unrealistic to seek revenge now."

"You may not know that the Dark World and the Demon World are far more powerful than we imagined, and there are still many such interfaces polluted by the Abyss. If we really continue to fight, we may be destroyed."

The scene suddenly became quiet.

In fact, everyone knows that Jin Ruhua is right.

If the strange monks were so easy to eliminate, with Hong Tingzhen's strong character, he would never allow them to continue to exist.

It’s not that we don’t want to eliminate it, but we are unable to do so.

"Humph, those hidden families didn't participate during the war, but now that there are benefits, they have popped up one after another. Their greedy behavior is simply too ugly. They should be the first to be dealt with!"

An elder standing at the back spoke angrily.

Everyone thought what he said was right, but no one agreed with him.

a long time.

Hu Jiuling's voice rang out.

"It's useless to say all this. In the cultivation world, there is no right or wrong, only strength. If the Heavenly Dao is really revived, all the eternal strong men will emerge. Now, the ones who command the world may be those hidden families."

Everyone was speechless.

Rough words are not rough.

The cultivation world follows the law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak, and there is no fairness at all.

"Okay, don't worry about it. We should make full use of the training conditions in Rainbow City to strengthen ourselves. Only by improving our strength can we gain the greatest voice."

Jin Ruhua stopped the argument.

"The fifth."

"No fighting is allowed in the city, no trespassing into other forces' areas, and no disruption of public order."

"Article 6."

"Rainbow City implements a contribution points system. Some penalties can be offset with points. A detailed explanation will be issued later. Please take a good look at it for your disciples. This point system is very useful."

"The last one!"

Jin Ruhua's tone became solemn.

"After consultation among the seven elders, any cultivator who betrays his current faction will not be allowed to join the other six factions, and will be forever deprived of the qualification to enter Rainbow City!"

Chen Lin, who had been listening quietly, suddenly had a flash of eyes.

The biggest beneficiary of this clause is actually Jin Ruhua.

I guess the other party convened the elders meeting mainly to announce this point, otherwise they would just need to send a direct message to notify them.

The other party is the weakest among the seven elders in the council, and has the least control over the members. With this rule, an "unfaithful" elder like Bosello is like being put in shackles.

really.

Bosello's face immediately darkened.

"Alliance Leader Jin, this rule is inappropriate. When we first formed the alliance, we said that we would not restrict freedom. Now that the war is over, we are changing the rules after we have used them up. Isn't that like killing the donkey after it has done its work?"

"I don't think it's appropriate either."

Another elder followed suit.

"The alliance is not a sect. We formed it to fight against the weird monks. There is only effort but no gain. We cannot be managed in the way of a sect."

"That's right. Doing this is equivalent to forcibly swallowing up everyone's sect and family. It's no different from robbery!"

Almost 40% of the elders expressed opposition.

Those who did not directly object also frowned, clearly resisting this rule.

Chen Lin didn't care. He and Jin Ruhua were on the same front, and as long as the other party was still the leader, there was no need for him to leave the Zuo League.

And the rules are not set in stone.

As long as you are strong enough, no rules can restrict you.

Jin Ruhua, however, looked unhappy.

This rule was actually proposed by her at the council meeting. In order to gain support, she promised many benefits to several other forces in order to consolidate her position as the leader.

She had expected resistance, but she didn't expect it to be so strong.

Waited for a while.

Seeing that no one stood up to support, Jin Ruhua couldn't help but look at Chen Lin.

"cough."

Chen Lin coughed lightly.

The noise stopped immediately.

He looked around.

He smiled and said, "There's no need to worry too much. Even if there is no such rule, if we leave the Left Alliance, no other forces will accept us."

“First of all, trust is an issue.”

He talked freely.

"Who knows if you are undercover?"

"in addition."

"The interests of the other forces have already been distributed. No one will let you get a piece of the pie. At least you can't get into the decision-making level. It's better for you to stay in the Left Alliance."

Everyone was silent.

Everyone is naturally clear about this situation.

What they were worried about was not this, but the fact that the position of alliance leader had changed and they were afraid of being suppressed by Jin Ruhua.

"Do not worry."

Jin Ruhua spoke at the right time.

"I guarantee here that the promise I made before will be valid forever. I will not embarrass anyone because of Wan Zhencang's matter. The situation is complicated now. We should unite as one and strive for more benefits from outside."

Seeing that no one objected, Jin Ruhua breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Chen Lin was here, otherwise she was afraid that she would not be able to control these people. She couldn't help but look at Chen Lin again.

Chen Lin, however, looked from head to toe, and from toe to toe, and made no further comment.

"Let's stop here today. If you have any requests, please come and talk to me later. Deputy Alliance Leader Chen, please stay for a while."

Jin Ruhua ended the meeting.

The elders left one by one, and finally only Chen Lin was left.

"Any news about Xin Zhao?"

After everyone left, Jin Ruhua walked down from the main seat and sat next to Chen Lin.

Chen Lin shook his head.

"No, but she should have left her contact information to the Wen family. I have already asked someone to look for it."

"That's good."

Jin Ruhua nodded slightly.

Then he asked, "What about the villa yesterday? Did you contact them?"

"No, I was just about to ask the leader, weren't there any people coming to the villa yesterday? This doesn't seem reasonable."

“It’s not very reasonable.”

Jin Ruhua deeply agreed with this.

"With the strength of the villa yesterday, if it came out, it would either become the leader of a hidden family or stand on equal footing with the seven major forces. There is no reason for it to remain hidden."

Having said that, he looked at Chen Lin.

"Do you think it's possible that something happened in their villa?"

"I don't know that."

Chen Lin had no way of guessing.

He also knew why Jin Ruhua asked.

Strictly speaking, the villa also participated in the battle between the Zuo League and the strange monk yesterday. Although only Gu Siming was there, it is not impossible for the other party to use this as an excuse to seize the power of the Zuo League.

Jin Ruhua was a little disappointed that she didn't get the answer she wanted.

But he immediately calmed down.

Then he took out a storage ring and a small golden gourd and placed them in front of Chen Lin.

"This is?"

Chen Lin looked at the other party in confusion.

"The storage ring contains items from the alliance treasury. Most of them are reserved by Wan Zhencang. There are also some things from the Golden Gourd Sect. Aren't you building a sect? They should be useful to you."

With just a few words, Chen Lin felt the bloody storm.

It is estimated that all of Wan Zhencang's disciples were massacred.

But there is nothing wrong with it.

He would have done the same.

Being kind to the enemy is being irresponsible to your own people. To cut the grass, you must uproot it.

Jin Ruhua pointed at the small golden gourd again.

"This is the token of the Golden Gourd Sect. There is a pair of them. The other one should be in Wen Xinzhao's hands. If we put the two tokens together, we can collect the eternal treasure of Guangming Peak."

Chen Lin was stunned when he heard this.

"Isn't it appropriate for the leader to give this to me?"

He didn't go to get it.

Guangming Peak is the headquarters of the Left Alliance. Such a token should only be in the hands of the alliance leader. It would be an act of usurpation for him to hold it.

"Nothing inappropriate."

Jin Ruhua said casually, "After the ceremony here is over, the important figures of the alliance will settle here. I plan to move the headquarters of the Left Alliance to a large secret realm. Guangming Peak is too small. It's okay as a combat center, but it has too many restrictions for development."

"That's it."

Chen Lin pondered for a moment.

He put the things away and said, "Then I will be disrespectful to refuse it."

After all, it is a token that can drive the eternal treasure.

Moreover, once Wan Zhencang died, the inheritance of the Golden Gourd Sect would belong to Wen Xinzhao, so it would not be wrong for him to take it.

"Is there anything else I can help you with?"

Jin Ruhua stood up and asked.

The conversation was about to end, and Chen Lin also stood up.

After thinking for a while, he said, "I would like to borrow the Cheng sisters for a while, and I hope the leader can allow it."

To decipher the abyss text on the blood dragon bone, he had to find Cheng Lingdie. Not only would it take too much time for him to decipher it by himself, he might not even be able to decipher it.

"hehe."

Jin Ruhua laughed.

"You don't have to ask. Those two girls are going crazy missing you. If they hear you're in Rainbow City, they'll come right over."

She paused here.

He looked at Chen Lin.

He teased, "But you have so many Taoist companions, can you handle it all?"

Chen Lin's face darkened.

He hurriedly explained: "Alliance leader, you misunderstood. I was looking for the Cheng sisters for other things. It's not what you think. After all, according to seniority, they are still my great aunts!"

Jin Ruhua raised her beautiful eyebrows.

"So, your current body is really the descendant of Mingyue Shuanghua?"

Chen Lin nodded helplessly.

"This has been confirmed, it can't be false, and I am also the Prison Guardian of Ziwei Palace. But don't worry, Alliance Leader, I won't betray you."

"Thank you very much."

Jin Ruhua smiled.

This was what she was waiting for.

Although the Council has just decided that one cannot defect to other forces, this rule only restricts ordinary practitioners and is useless to Chen Lin, who is able to contend against Eternity.

Without Wan Zhencang, the strength of the Zuo League dropped drastically. If Chen Lin left again, it would be difficult to maintain its position as one of the seven major forces.

then.

The two chatted for a while and then left the hall together.
