Keqing, it’s just cultivating immortality, is it that difficult?

However, the young man seemed to see what Keqing was thinking and spoke softly.

"Does the City Lord think that even if we don't join the Hundred Cities, we can still develop slowly?"

"What's the problem?"

Keqing asked doubtfully.

"Well, it's a good idea, Lord City Lord. You know that big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimps?"

"Do you think that since you are so high-profile now, such a delicious little fish will not attract the covetousness of those big fish?"

The young man talked freely.

"Be it greed, destruction, or seduction, Lord City Lord, do you really think that you can be safe?"

Keqing remained silent, because what the other party said was right.

If you want to develop, you must attract attention. However, attracting attention will make it difficult for development to be as stable as before due to various situations.

“Perhaps the city lord feels that with the wild beast behind you, so many Nascent Souls, and the merchant alliance willing to trade with you, you have no shortage of resources and combat power, and no one will plot against you.”

"But if this only applies to general situations, and if the person who covets it is stronger..."

The boy stretched out his tone.

"Everything is just like bubbles in a dream. Everything is gone in vain. Is that what you mean?"

Keqing asked back, she thought about it seriously and nodded.

"Well, you're right. I was indeed a little too relieved too early."

"Let me first ask what the combat power of the upper city is like."

The boy didn't expect that before he had finished laying the groundwork, the girl in front of him simply and clearly agreed, and asked about his fighting ability, with a ready and prepared look, knowing yourself and the enemy, you will win every battle.

This... is too straightforward, and some people are unable to react.

"Your Excellency the City Lord is indeed right, but there is nothing to hide. There are dozens of Heavenly Sovereigns in Tianheng City alone, and this is just the ones on the surface."

"Is that so... I understand. So, as long as I have dozens of Heavenly Monarchs on my side, I will have the same strength as Tianheng City, and I will have the confidence, right?"

Ah, this... this question stumped him.

No, why are you asking so confidently, as if being a Heavenly Emperor is as easy as buying a cabbage.

The young man was speechless.

"In theory, that's true, if your city really has a Heavenly Sovereign ruling it."

Keqing nodded thoughtfully.

"So, I'm being coveted by someone? Not just you? Is it someone else in the upper city?"

"If I don't agree, they will do something to me, such as cutting off the merchant alliance, pressuring me, or even using some shady means?"

"Among those who covet Li City, some are dismissive and prefer to put pressure directly, while others are waiting in the wings. And you from Tianheng City think it's better to win them over?"

"No, judging from your attitude, I think you want me to join you, annex Licheng, and make it my own."

"So... is that so?"

In just a moment, Keqing analyzed a series of problems.

The boy was upset about this.

You've said everything I wanted to say, what else can I say?

However, Keqing had guessed a lot, and she hadn't revealed it all yet. She just said it vaguely, but the other party had guessed it completely. It must be said that the person in front of her was indeed a little different from the other city lords.

But what's the difference? Maybe it's too choking?

"Well, just as you said, I don't think there is anyone more gentle than our Tianheng City."

"If you surrender to Tianheng City, I promise that as long as you hand over the method of obtaining the essence, we will give you a certain amount of compensation to ensure that you will not lose out. We will not covet the divine seal that you accidentally obtained."

Essence? Is this what you value?

As for the divine seal, could it be referring to... the Li Seal?

Chapter 432 I, Keqing, have someone behind me (fourth update)

The young man vowed solemnly.

Now that the truth has been revealed, he will no longer be secretive and act like a riddle teller.

"Tianheng City will only take 80% of the profits from the essence, and we will also provide shelter to Li City, which will be completely under the protection of Tianheng City. In addition, you will still have absolute control over Li City, and no other existence will interfere."

"There will be no investigation into the matter of the wild beasts. Tianheng will also form an alliance with Licheng and provide certain supplies. Regarding the Divine Court, it can also send a certain number of quotas. It can be said that the sincerity is very high. What do you think?"

The young man felt that the conditions he offered were already very high. After all, when Tianheng City received the news, it advocated more violence.

However, after some investigation, he found out that Keqing was actually a genius. Since she was a genius, she naturally could not be so violent. It was not worth it to offend a future emperor of heaven.

And in fact, the future of Licheng is indeed very bad. This is the situation where a child with gold goes to the busy city.

Although this kid is quite strong and has gathered a pair of other kids, so what? In the eyes of Shangcheng, who is like an adult, he is just a stronger ant after all.

And he was very sincere, so he felt that if nothing unexpected happened, it would be almost impossible for anyone to refuse...

"Well... I don't think so... Sorry, I refuse."

!!!

"What did you say!?"

However, if nothing unexpected happens, an accident has already happened.

Well, Keqing’s slaps in the face are usually timely and always quite unexpected.

"I reject."

"Why!? Such good conditions!"

The boy didn't understand.

Keqing also saw that he was genuinely confused and didn't understand, so she patiently explained.

"Do you think I created Licheng just to help others?"

"But the reality is that you have to give in."

“This is your reality, not my reality.”

Keqing smiled slightly.

"You should know what the predecessor of Licheng was. It was a nameless little city, an insignificant city that didn't even have a Nascent Soul."

So?

Seeing the boy's puzzled look, Keqing continued.

"So I came. Li City has become more vibrant, with order flowing, more people advancing, abundant resources, and an alliance with the wild beasts. Now there are dozens of Nascent Souls and dozens of affiliated cities."

“And all this happened in just a few short years.”

Keqing emphasized her tone.

As Keqing explained, the boy suddenly understood something! ?

Could it be! ?

But, it's impossible!!!

The Heavenly Lords are not cabbages! !

"The Heavenly Monarchs are cabbages, but are Nascent Souls cabbages? The old me could turn the nameless city into the current Li City, so naturally I can turn the current Li City into the upper city in the future."

“I have enough confidence in this!”

The girl's eyes were firm, and a hazy light shone on her face, creating a hazy glow.

The young man's heart trembled and he couldn't help but be touched.

If someone else said this, he might think it was a fantasy, but when the person in front of him said this, he suddenly felt a glimmer of possibility.

When this thought came to his mind, the boy almost thought that he had gone crazy. He shook his head and was about to refute it.

However, Keqing's next words made him take the issue seriously.

"I guess you also investigated my background when you came here."

Keqing twirled her hair with her fingers.

"Well, you are Keqing from the Tianjiao Ranking. You are very powerful and defeated the number one in the Tianmen event. Afterwards, Tianmen disappeared unexpectedly, which attracted the major sects to search for you. Even Kunlun issued a missing person notice."

Keqing was stunned. Other sects might ask for details about Tianmen, but why did Kunlun...

Could it be... Wanran?

Keqing sighed inwardly, it seemed that she was worried.

But soon, she calmed down and remained silent.

"Then you should also know that I am very strong and have the power to cross levels?"

Keqing said casually.

The boy thought Keqing wanted to show off her strength to give herself more weight, and he couldn't help but smile.

"I know. After all, I have asked around. I heard a lot about your great achievements in the Red Moon Disaster on the way here."

"But this is not enough..."

"So you also know that my master is Wu Hui Zhenjun of Chongxiao, right?"

"Of course I know that your master is Lianxu... Wait, Master Wuhui of Chongxiao!?"

The young man was stunned.

Wasn't the information he inquired about an ordinary casual cultivator? How did he suddenly become Chongxiao?

Keqing raised an eyebrow.

"It seems you don't know. Otherwise, why do you think those Tianjuns who tried to win me over have no backup plan given my strength? It's because my master is Wu Hui Zhenjun of Chongxiao, so they are like this. Otherwise, why do you think those sects let go of a Tianjiao like me so easily?"

被刻

After Qing reminded him, the boy suddenly realized, yes, why! Such a powerful genius must be scrambled like crazy!

If you grab it, you earn it.

If he didn't rob it, there was only one explanation, that was someone behind Tianjiao! Or a big shot!

The boy couldn't help but believe it!

Yes, no wonder the girl is so powerful. It turns out that behind her is the Chongxiao Sword Sect, the holy land of sword practitioners.

Thinking of this, the young man couldn't help but become more wary of Keqing.

The Sword Sect is a major sect in Zhongzhou. Although it is strong, it is not as powerful as the Sword Sect in the Desolate State...

However, at this moment, Keqing said again.

"Why do you think Kunlun would look for me..."

"How would I know...wait, you are related to Kunlun too?"

The boy wanted to refute subconsciously, but at this moment he realized something.

"Well, the eldest sister of Kunlun Qinglan Palace is my best friend."

At this point, Keqing took out a token with Kunlun on it, and the Kunlun Mountain on it was very obvious.

The young man was stunned by what he saw.

Sorry, Wanran, I'd like to borrow some of your power.

The young man's heart choked. No wonder Kunlun Chongxiao was looking for her and Kunlun was also looking for her!

I thought he wanted to inquire about the affairs of Tianmen, but if I look more carefully, these two are holy places. Is a small Jindan-stage Tianmen worthy of two major sects doing this? ?

Then there is only one reason, they are all related to the person in front of them.

Well, the truth is, Wanran acted on her own initiative and was too hasty to issue the announcement using her own authority; and Wuhui, upon hearing that his apprentice was missing, went crazy and insisted that Chongxiao find him.
