Chapter 1621: Chapter 549: Starry Sky Sea Situation, Taking Over Immortal City!_2
"Greetings, City Lord!"
"Greetings, City Lord!"
"Greetings, City Lord!"
The cultivators present all felt a weight on their bodies, their breathing labored, as they respectfully bowed.
"From now on, everyone will have to work hard, as my wife and I take over as City Lords. The situation remains unchanged, and we will not fail you."
Lu Changsheng’s calm and composed voice was filled with authority as he spoke.
Though he intended to place his children in the Immortal City.
His own power was still insufficient to take control of the Immortal City.
Moreover, having just taken over the city without understanding the situation, it was best not to act rashly, so as not to affect the city’s operation.
The optimal choice was to continue maintaining the current system, and after becoming familiar with it, gradually bring the core authority into their own hands.
"We will strictly adhere to the City Lord’s orders!"
The cultivators present expressed utmost respect.
After all, in the face of two Nascent Soul Immortals, even if there were dissenting thoughts, they couldn’t be shown.
...
"For the next half a year, we must trouble Friend Wang and Friend Li."
"When we leave, aside from taking some spiritual medicine, materials, and artifacts, we will not touch the shops and business assets."
After other cultivators had left, Meng Wuheng spoke.
Beside him, Cloud Dream True Master handed two jade scrolls to Lu Changsheng.
Inside are details about the Great Dream Immortal City’s assets and personnel.
"You two are truly trustworthy."
Lu Changsheng smiled and said, without being overly particular.
During the initial signing of the spiritual contract, they had agreed to hand over the Immortal City within a year, including the cave mansion, roster, great formation, and all their assets.
Now, having left after half a year, it was already ahead of schedule.
"Here are three jade talismans. Should your daughter have any issues in the future, she can contact us through these three talismans."
At this point, Lu Changsheng took out three third-rank jade talismans from his storage ring and handed them to Meng Wuheng.
In the previous trade agreement, aside from hunting the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
They had to keep their daughter ’Xuanxuan’s cave mansion for a century, providing resources worth ten million spirit stones.
In addition, during their lifetime, they would assist Xuanxuan thrice within their capabilities.
Now, with half of the Immortal City handed over, Lu Changsheng naturally showed his stance.
However, he was curious why he hadn’t seen their daughter yet.
"Alright, please accept this token, Friend Wang. At the right time, my daughter may use it to contact you."
Meng Wuheng accepted it with a smile, then took out a token from his storage ring and handed it to Lu Changsheng.
"Rest assured, both of you!"
Lu Changsheng said gravely.
Though hunting the Deep Sea Demon Whale King had cost him greatly.
Overall, he was very satisfied with the deal.
Moreover, Meng Wuheng and his wife had continuously shown sincerity, providing him not only additional trophies but also information about the Starry Sky Sea, making him willing to take good care of their daughter.
"Friend Wang and Friend Li, if you don’t mind, feel free to use the name of us two. It might spare you some trouble."
"However, once news of the city’s change of ownership spreads, it’s very likely some will come to test or probe."
Meng Wuheng noticed that Lu Changsheng and Hong Lian had decent character, so he continued to show goodwill.
Although the Great Dream Immortal City isn’t as prosperous as Jiuxiao Immortal City or Azure Phoenix Immortal City, it is still a coveted prize, eyed by many.
Once news of the change of ownership spreads, surely forces or loose cultivators will come to provoke, seeking to seize benefits.
This is also why they weren’t comfortable handing the Immortal City over to their daughter.
For the city to be stably managed, a power capable of intimidating Core Formation Late Stage cultivators is a must!
"In that case, my wife and I will take advantage of your generous offer, Friends."
Lu Changsheng and Hong Lian exchanged a glance, cupped their hands and laughed.
During the previous hunt for the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, he realized that Meng Wuheng and his wife were much like them, using disguise and camouflage.
The names Meng Wuheng and Cloud Dream True Master were likely pseudonyms, so he did not mind.
However, since they were already using fake names to take over the Immortal City to avoid trouble, they didn’t mind using their identities directly.
Soon after, Meng Wuheng continued to instruct Lu Changsheng and Hong Lian on matters concerning the city.
Such as trade among the Three Great Immortal Cities and cooperation with the Four Great Immortal Sects.
All four Immortal Sects had stationed cultivators in the Great Dream Immortal City.
In events like this pioneering war, the Great Dream Immortal City also needed to prioritize providing materials to the Four Great Immortal Sects.
In summary, these matters could be handled by subordinates.
Lu Changsheng and Hong Lian only need to intimidate potential raiders; the rest is not a concern.
After the two had chatted for a long time, Lu Changsheng and Hong Lian left the City Lord Mansion and returned to the cave mansion where they resided.
"Hong Lian, do you have any thoughts or suggestions about taking over the Immortal City?"
Lu Changsheng was aware of his average abilities in management.
"Just change the batch of maids and guards at the City Lord Mansion; for now, there’s not much else to adjust..."
"As Meng Wuheng and his wife said, with the city’s change of ownership, within a few years, the news will spread, and it’s likely Nascent Soul cultivators will come to provoke or probe."
"At that time, as long as we show enough power and prestige, the rest will not be a concern."
Hong Lian gently shook her head and said.
Having just taken over the city, the last thing needed is to make sweeping reforms.
As for Lu Changsheng’s thoughts, Hong Lian could guess some.
But currently, the strength of the Lu Family disciples is far from enough to take control of the Immortal City.
"Hmm."
Lu Changsheng and Hong Lian chatted for a while, then took out the jade slip given by Meng Wuheng and examined it with his divine sense.
Moments later, Lu Changsheng opened his eyes, deeply moved.
According to the information in the jade slip, the known area of the Starry Sky Sea is ten times that of the Jiang Country Cultivation Realm, with numerous Nascent Soul level powers, Nascent Soul cultivators, and transformative Great Demons.
Unlike Jiang Country’s Southern Wilderness, there is no division of righteous and demonic forces among these powers.
Summarized in one word, chaos!
