Chapter 1185 Settlement

All the city-states in the Immortal World were established by the sects. Even if an individual obtained the order to build a city, he would slowly build the city after establishing the sect.

These sects that are qualified to build city-states are naturally very powerful and can guard the land. Ordinary forces dare not provoke them at all.

Even if the strength of the sect is weakened, it is still bigger than a horse. For example, Linghaimen and Yunzong can still maintain after the death of the strongest people.

It is precisely because of this that the city-states in the Immortal World rarely change their owners.

However, the temple has a system. If a sect cannot maintain the city-state it has built, it can join a stronger sect and hand over the city-state it owns.

This system is rarely used and has been forgotten.

However, what happened in Yunzong City reminded people of this system again.

It is really surprising that Yunzong lost the battle with Linghaimen, but the temple did not blame it and let Yunzong City remain as it is.

Yunzong also elected a new leader, and Yunzong City was able to return to normal.

Not only that, Yunzong also actively dealt with the relationship with the surrounding forces, lived in peace with them, and was in the stage of recovery and development.

Such a sect suddenly announced that it would be under the command of Tianhai Pavilion.

This happened too suddenly, causing the people of the Changsheng Realm to talk about it.

"What happened to Yunzong? The new leader doesn't look like a timid person, why did he admit defeat so quickly, and didn't even want his dignity?"

"Even the entire Yunzong City was handed over, and the foundation of Yunzong was ruined."

"Is it Tianhai Pavilion that took advantage of it? But Tianhai Pavilion doesn't look like a sect that does that kind of thing. What is the reason behind this?"

"Obviously, Yunzong City has begun to recover, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen. It really fell short."

In addition to ordinary people in the Changsheng Realm, the superiors also expressed deep doubts about this matter.

The Court of Inquiry asked Tianhai Pavilion to postpone its decision on the grounds that its entry into Yunzong City would affect the balance of the immortal world, and to consider the matter in the long run. Unfortunately, Tianhai Pavilion simply ignored the Court of Inquiry. As a force under the Holy Temple, the only owner of Tianhai Pavilion was the Holy Temple.

With the support of the Holy Temple, Tianhai Pavilion quickly entered Yunzong City.

In addition to most of the combat power of Tianhai Pavilion, there were also many people who followed, making the space of Yunzong City crowded.

Yunzong disciples contributed their own residences to let Tianhai Pavilion disciples live in, and as for ordinary citizens, they had to reluctantly give up their houses and hand them over.

The whole Yunzong City was in an uproar, but there was no commotion, and Tianhai Pavilion quickly controlled the situation.

Everyone in Linghai City also knew the news.

Lingxuan, the leader of Linghai Sect, was immediately furious.

"I didn't expect that Tianhai Pavilion would take the lead in attacking Yunzong City. With Yunzong City as their base, it will be easy for them to deal with Linghai City. We must always be on guard against Tianhai Pavilion attacking Linghai City!"

Sima Zhao's intention is known to everyone.

The purpose of Tianhai Pavilion's occupation of Yunzong City is naturally to attack Linghai City.

Unfortunately, Linghaimen did not know when Tianhai Pavilion would take action, so they could only wait silently and not let Tianhai Pavilion have any chance to attack.

Zhou Ran's face sank, and he also knew that Tianhai Pavilion's goal was Linghai City.

If Tianhai Pavilion was far away in Tianhai City, their movements would be very easy to grasp, but they were in Yunzong City, so close to Linghai City, it would be easy for them to attack Linghai City, and Linghai City would naturally be unable to defend against it.

As Lingxuan said, Linghai City could do nothing but be prepared for battle at all times.

Lingxuan ordered Linghai City to enter a state of war, and all the disciples strengthened patrols of Linghai City to ensure vigilance at all times.

It was originally thought that after Tianhai Pavilion annexed Yunzong City, it would immediately attack Linghai City, but Linghai City was on guard for half a month, but Tianhai Pavilion did not move.

Tianhai Pavilion did not make any move to invade Linghai City, nor did it warn Linghai City in the form of a letter,

asking Linghai City to hand over the murderer.

At this time, Tianhai Pavilion returned to its previous appearance, staying at home and even disappearing.

The disciples of Linghai Gate maintained a high level of mental tension, but finally relaxed. When they were on guard every day, they seemed perfunctory.

Lingxuan severely taught the disciples a lesson for this, asking them to always be highly vigilant and not give the enemy a chance to take advantage.

As for Zhou Ran, he ignored the patrol of the city because a guest came to visit.

This guest was none other than Yun Cheng, the leader of Yunzong.

Zhou Ran was a little surprised. Since Yun Cheng had surrendered to Tianhai Pavilion, he should be loyal to Tianhai Pavilion. Linghai Gate and Tianhai Pavilion were in a hostile relationship. It was probably unreasonable for this guy to come to see him.

When Yun Cheng arrived at Zhou Ran's residence, he was exhausted and still wearing coarse clothes. He did not have the dignity of the leader of the Yun Sect.

"I escaped."

Yun Cheng knew that Zhou Ran would not believe him, so he patiently told Zhou Ran about his recent experiences.

When Tianhai Pavilion entered Yun Zong City, he and the disciples of Yun Zong had been cooperating, but when Tianhai Pavilion completely controlled Yun Zong City, he and the disciples of Yun Zong were placed under house arrest.

The disciples were fine, and they were released after being under house arrest for several days, but he, the leader of the sect, was not so lucky. He was placed under house arrest in a dark courtyard, surrounded by strong guards, and he could not escape at all.

Finally one day, a Yunzong disciple came to visit him. Yun Cheng seized the opportunity and exchanged clothes with the Yunzong disciple, and then he left the place of house arrest.

However, he still couldn't leave the city. In order to be safe, Yun Cheng changed into a set of coarse cloth clothes and disguised himself as another person, and finally left Yunzong City reluctantly.

After leaving, Yun Cheng rushed to Linghai City to meet Zhou Ran.

Zhou Ran was confused by Yun Cheng's story. This guy went through so much trouble just to meet him?

What exactly did he want to say to him?

Zhou Ran knew that Yun Cheng had a lot to say, but before that, he had to ask first.

"Why did you give Yunzong City to Tianhai Pavilion?"

Zhou Ran asked the core of the matter. With his understanding of Yun Cheng, he would never sell out the city for glory.

There might be another hidden story.

Yun Cheng sighed and said, "I didn't want to do that either, but Tianhai Pavilion has caught me. If Tianhai Pavilion holds on to me, not only Yunzong City, but the entire Changsheng Realm will be in danger. I have no choice but to agree to Tianhai Pavilion's conditions and let them move into Yunzong City smoothly."
