Ma Rongcheng thought for a while, his face darkened, he turned to Zhou Tian and smiled and said: "Haha, I didn't expect that as soon as you finished your lobbying work, someone came over to challenge you."
"Go, let him in!"
Zhou Tian didn't know that the city lord would send someone over, so he hurriedly stood up and raised his hands: "I'm afraid the lord may have misunderstood. I don't know what the city lord is planning. I just want to do something for the city of demons!"
Ma Rongcheng glanced at Zhou Tian and said expressionlessly: "It's nothing. We'll see what the general says later."
Before he finished speaking, a female general walked from the outside of the gate, and she was General Ling who said at the city lord's mansion that she would come to lobby the Tianjian Sect.
Although General Ling is a female general, her heroic demeanor is no less than that of a man. She carries a scimitar on her body and wears heavy armor. She walked with wind in her eyes and walked directly to Ma Rongcheng's eyes.
After Zhou Tian carefully examined her, he discovered that this female general was actually at the Qi Master level. Such a powerful general was beyond the reach of even ordinary Qi cultivators.
I saw that General Ling did not bow and salute like the others, but instead clasped his hands and said in a loud voice: "General Ling Lou, the guard of Xiazhi City, pays homage to the master of Tianjian Sect!"
Although she is a female general, her beauty is no less than that of any other woman, and her behavior shows off a rare style.
Ma Rongcheng took a concentrated look, immediately stood up from his seat, came to General Ling's side, and suddenly smiled brightly, which made Zhou Tian very confused.
"Zhou Tian, do you know General Ling?"
Ma Rongcheng asked this question, which confused Zhou Tian. Zhou Tian had never been on the battlefield on weekdays, so how could he recognize any general? He shook his head.
"Ling Lou is the general of the City of Demons, and he has killed countless people in Haotian Pavilion. He is also my son's savior!"
When General Ling heard this, his pupils suddenly dilated, and he looked at Ma Rongcheng carefully, and then asked doubtfully: "You mean the child who was almost killed by Haotian Pavilion two years ago was your son?"
Ma Rongcheng said to her with tears in his eyes: "Yes! That's right! That's my only seedling. Without General Ling's help, I'm afraid my son would have passed away long ago. After the incident was over, I wanted to visit her many times to express my gratitude.
But I haven't spared any time, but now it's good, General Ling actually came to visit in person, which really makes me very happy! Hahaha!"
After hearing this, Zhou Tian thought to himself: It will be easier this time. General Ling has saved his son's life. In this way, a rescue team is just around the corner.
Although he said this, it may not be possible. After hearing this, General Ling had the same idea as Zhou Tian.
"The sect master has met. We are all in Xihuan, and we are all Qi cultivators. We should share the same hatred, regardless of you and me. That day your son was in danger, even if it wasn't me, anyone present would have saved him."
"The reason I came here this time is to ask Sect Master Ma to rescue our city, I hope Sect Master Ma can agree!"
General Ling spoke concisely and to the point, and spoke directly and thoroughly, unlike others who always liked to beat around the bush. Zhou Tian saw this and admired it very much.
At this time, Ma Rongcheng hesitated for a moment, his eyebrows tightly knitted together.
After turning back to the main seat, he lowered his head and didn't open his mouth for a long time. The air suddenly solidified, coupled with the silence, the three of them didn't say a word to each other. This atmosphere was really awkward and tense.
Zhou Tian's eyes rolled around in circles, and then he looked at Ma Rongcheng. Just when he was about to speak, he stood up and took a deep breath: "To be honest, General Ling, if your city wants to compete with us,
The Sword Sect is joining forces. I am originally very happy, but most of you in the Demon City are women, and their cultivation level is also very low. You are a general. Please forgive me if I don’t sound nice. Everyone doesn’t like to beat around the bush, so I might as well say it straight.
, Patriarch Haotian of Haotian Pavilion will return to Xihuan today. Once there is a firefight, it will definitely be a big battle. If you, the city lord, want to help us, then..."
Ma Rongcheng talked for a long time, but suddenly stopped, leaving Ling Lou a little confused: "What Sect Leader Ma means is that most of the women in our city are women. If we join forces with you, I am afraid that we will not be able to help, but will become a burden? But this intention
?”
Zhou Tian also heard this meaning, and just wanted to persuade him a few more words for the city of demon, but Ma Rongcheng waved his sleeves, stood up and said to General Ling: "It's not, it's not, how can I look down on it?"
Your city, but Tianjian Sect is not the one who has the final say. There are many elders in the sect. In fact, they already know a thing or two about your city’s lobbying. What they mean is that if you, the city
If the city wants to join forces with Tianjian Sect, it must be completely absorbed by our Tianjian Sect and become a part of our Tianjian Sect. Otherwise, even if I agree and others do not agree, it will be in vain!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Tian was really shocked. He turned his head to look at General Ling, his face suddenly darkened, and his eyes gradually revealed a fierce light.
"Sect Master Ma, we, the City of Darkness, have been established for hundreds of years and have never vassalized others. If something unexpected had not happened, we, the City of Darkness, would not have bowed to your Tianjian Sect and asked for cooperation. You are really looking down on you with such rhetoric.
All of us in the City of Demon, since this is the case, Shu Mo will not be able to agree and say goodbye!"
General Ling glared at Ma Rongcheng. After speaking, he turned around and left.
At this time, Zhou Tian grabbed him and said to Ma Rongcheng: "Sect Master Ma, everything is discussed. Is there no other way?"
From the bottom of his heart, Zhou Tian believed that the lord of the City of Demon was a righteous man, and it would be best if he could help.
Ma Rongcheng looked at General Ling and Zhou Tian with a sad look on his face and sighed, shaking his head...
"There is a way, but I don't know if General Ling is capable."
Ma Rongcheng's wife appeared again, obviously shocking Ma Rongcheng: "Madam, why are you here?"
"Sect Master, General Ling is our son's savior. How can we refuse when our benefactor opens his mouth?"
When Zhou Tian heard this woman speaking, he felt uncomfortable all over. The black gas emanating from her body made Zhou Tian even more uncomfortable.
Ma Rongcheng's eyes were erratic and he quickly asked: "But what method are you talking about? As the leader of Tianjian Sect, how could I not know this!"
His wife was seen standing under the steps of the main throne and said to General Ling: "Thank you General Ling for your life-saving grace that day. If you want to join forces but don't want to vassal the Tianjian Sect, there is only one way, which is to pass the oldest of the Tianjian Sect.
The method is to challenge the elders one by one!"
"There are a total of eight elders in Tianjian Sect. As long as you can successfully challenge four of them, then the sect leader will have the right to speak, and your city will join forces with Tianjian Sect!"
"As long as we are allies with blood, whenever there is a crisis in your city, our Tianjian Sect will be the first to protect you!"
After hearing this, Ma Rongcheng suddenly stood up: "Madam! This method of yours is the Tianjian Sect's method of seizing the throne, how can it be used here? You are messing with the rules of the Tianjian Sect, get out of here!"
Ma Rongcheng sternly reprimanded, obviously irritated by his wife's words, and then said to General Ling in a slightly gentle tone: "General Ling, the matter has come to this, there is no other way, please forgive me, I..."
Just as Ma Rongcheng was about to persuade General Ling to retreat, another person came from outside the gate: "Who said it would break the rules? This method can be used for all problems that cannot be solved in Tianjian Sect..."
