Chapter 679: The Devil's Trend
In the Fallen Leaves City, countless figures looked at the majestic palace in the sky, and the look of awe and greed in their eyes was not concealed at all. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info However, they are either not strong enough, or they have exceeded the bottom limit of the major forces, so they can only watch the Purple Dou Stygian Flame Palace, but they have not made any moves.
"Friends of Shang Dao, do you think this trip to the Purple Dou Flame Palace, which ones will have the advantage and come out on top in this exploration?" Elder Xing of the Listening Rain Pavilion looked over with a fruit the size of a dragon's eye.
At the other end of his gaze was the mall owner of Fallen Leaf City.
The two of them were at the top of a high-rise building at this time, with beautiful women serving beside them, countless wines, fruits and vegetables, and while enjoying themselves, they talked about the affairs of the Purple Hood Dark Flame Palace.
When the mall owner heard this, he couldn't help but laugh: "Elder Xing already knows in his heart, why did he come to ask me again." Although the disciples sent by the Yu Pavilion this time were not as strong as the previous session, the pair of double cultivators invited by them were extraordinary. As long as there are no big surprises, Tingyu Pavilion will still be the biggest winner this time. ”
"Hehe, it's still the mall owner who understands me. Elder Xing grinned, but then quickly reined in.
"Friends of the business, I sometimes really envy your status. It's obviously just a casual cultivator, but because of his strength, he occupies Fallen Leaf City, and with the help of the mutual suspicion of the major forces, he is left and right. Now that your cultivation has improved again, I'm afraid that it won't be long before you can hit the late stage of the Heavenly Realm!"
"Elder Xing, why are you trying to mock me. Although over the years, I have taken advantage of the mutual suspicion of the major forces to successfully become the lord of Fallen Leaf City. But you and I both understand that these superficial phenomena are just because the major forces don't want each other to get this piece of fat. If this weren't the case, how could I, a casual cultivator with no background, be able to capture such a rich Fallen Leaf City. ”
When the mall owner spoke, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes inadvertently.
As he said, since the Purple Hood Flame Palace appeared in Fallen Leaf City, it has become a real land of four battles. The monks of the three major forces of Listening to the Rain Pavilion, the Ten Thousand Demon Gate, the Heavenly Feather Gate, and other forces have all mobilized troops against this place, hoping to occupy it.
It's a pity that no matter which force occupies this place, it will not last more than 500 years. Because of this, some people have also joked that the value of a high-ranking monk who died in Fallen Leaf City is far more valuable than the value obtained from the Purple Hood Stygian Flame Palace.
In fact, all the major forces understand this truth, but they don't want to give up. Just like buying a lottery ticket, the chance of winning the first prize is only 1 in 17 million (Rourou once calculated). Even if you can win the first prize in the end and get 5 million, the remaining more than 20 million will be earned by the organizers.
In fact, every ordinary person knows this kind of thing, but why do some people still buy it without hesitation, and even break their money for it. This is human nature, they are lucky, delusional that they are the luckiest one, and it is precisely because of this situation that their tragedy is caused.
In contrast, the major forces of the Imperial First Heaven could not escape this "lottery temptation", they all believed that they had the ability to control Fallen Leaf City, so they would dispatch a large number of troops every year to carry out endless killings.
The accident of history has created the inevitability of reality, and when they all realized that their decision made their comprehensive combat strength not increase but decrease, a hero appeared, that is, the current city lord of Fallen Leaf City - Shang Ping!
Shang Ping was born in a casual cultivator, and when he was a child, he also worked as a thief to make a living, and at one chance, he inadvertently targeted a monk, and was naturally caught red-handed.
However, the monk did not embarrass him, but decided to take him as a disciple because of his qualifications. In this way, Shang Ping changed from a thief that everyone shouted at to become an immortal cultivator that everyone yearns for.
Along the way, Shang Ping relied on his childhood cleverness, observed words and feelings, and mixed up in the entire Xiuzhen realm, until when the forces of all parties fought fiercely in Fallen Leaf City, he was still wandering on the front lines of all sides, reselling some important materials.
Perhaps because he is good at befriending every large force, so under the secret promotion of the major forces, Shang Ping has successfully become the city lord of Fallen Leaf City from a casual cultivator.
Shang Ping himself became the city lord of Fallen Leaf City, and he had no background and would not face any forces. With these two points, the major forces also put their hearts in their stomachs and gradually quit their troops.
The major forces all wanted to swallow the delicious cake of Falling Leaf City, but they did not have the strength to dominate the entire Imperial First Heaven, so a casual cultivator with no background succeeded in taking office.
And after Shang Ping became the city lord of Fallen Leaf City, the first thing he did was not to curry favor with the major forces, but to secretly provoke their relationship. If one of the forces has become strong in recent years, he will let the other forces join forces to resist that powerful force, thus maintaining the balance of the Emperor and giving him a place to live.
Among these forces, Tingyu Pavilion also plays such a role most of the time, so unconsciously, this city lord of Fallen Leaf City is also very close to Tingyu Pavilion.
Sitting in Fallen Leaf City, Shang Ping clearly realized that he was just a pawn of the major forces, which could be replaced at any time, and he himself felt helpless about his current identity most of the time.
Thinking about the emperor of the Han Dynasty, he had the name of the Son of Heaven, but he had no real power, and he was still used by Cao Cao after all. However, Shang Ping's situation is much better than that of Emperor Xian, at least he can get some freedom, and he can balance the major forces.
It's just that as time passed, a faint smell of gunsmoke quietly filled the entire Imperial First Day. Shang Ping is not a stupid person, for decades, the Ten Thousand Demon Sect has taken advantage of the opportunity of the alliance with the Listening Rain Pavilion to increase his comprehensive strength several times, and its strength has completely exceeded the combined combat power of the Listening Rain Pavilion and the Tianyu Gate.
In the face of the blowout development of the Ten Thousand Demon Gate, Tingyu Pavilion decisively favored the Tianyu Gate to resist the Ten Thousand Demon Gate.
Sadly, in a great battle of the Three Sects twelve years ago, the Ten Thousand Demon Gate defeated the combined forces of Tingyu Pavilion and Tianyu Gate, and the balance of the three sects was gone, and a comprehensive and devastating battle was about to begin.
At that time, Fallen Leaf City will bear the brunt of the attack, and it will be the focus of the Ten Thousand Demon Gate. As the city lord of Fallen Leaf City, Shang Ping naturally didn't want to be happy.
It is precisely because he saw this future that is about to become a reality that Shang Ping will sigh here for a long time. And his sigh finally made Elder Xing next to him pause, his eyes flashed, but he didn't say anything for a while.
