C309 Attack
From beginning to end, Qingtian had one concern, and that was Jack from the Norlin City. If he used all of his strength and got the news, he would stab him in the back. Then, the name of the Unfalling City Lord would be changed to Jack the next day. Therefore, he had to find his only ally, Chrysanthemum, to ensure that this fellow would be able to keep himself in check during this period of time. He would deal with him when he had some spare time.
Qingtian's speed was very fast. Due to the lack of time, he arrived at Storm City in half a day's time with Ray.
He went straight to City Lord's Mansion after asking around and told them his identity and purpose. Then, he followed them and saw Chrysanthemum under the surprised eyes of the guards.
Seeing Qingtian's sudden visit, the old man was very surprised, but he vaguely felt that this child was looking for him for something. "Haha, Patriarch, why are you here? Shouldn't you be dealing with those bastards now?" As he spoke, he gave Qingtian a warm hug.
The surrounding guards were all very surprised, although they all knew that the City Lord had gone to Unfalling City a few days ago. No one had thought that his relationship with this young patriarch would be so intimate. One should know that this old City Lord wasn't an easy person to get close to. Without a certain level of skill, this old man wouldn't even look at you directly. The few of them had never seen him treat anyone so warmly. At the same time, this also showed that the strength of this clan head was "unfathomable!"
"Haha, senior must be joking. Just the three of them can't cause me any trouble at all. They might be biting a dog right now!" He had already told Chrysanthemum about his goal, and the old man admired Qingtian's courage. He also expressed that his lifelong wish was to see the continent unify, and that he would definitely support him with all his might. Therefore, Qingtian didn't have any concerns about him.
The people around him didn't understand, "What dog bites a dog?" All of them had blank looks on their faces.
" Oh? I knew you could do it. Haha, those three old foxes are not simple. You must have used some sort of trick to make them run around in circles!" Chrysanthemum was also very interested. It had only been a few days. He had solved the problem?
"Hehe, it's not that the group won't solve it, but the matter is currently going according to my plan. It's just that there is still a huge problem, so I asked you to help me, Wang Yao said." Qingtian didn't say much and gave Chrysanthemum a look.
The old man, who was about to become a spirit, naturally understood what he meant. He waved his hand to dismiss his guards and excitedly asked Qingtian to tell him about it.
Therefore, Qingtian told him everything that happened after the old man left. The old man had always been calm and composed. However, he would occasionally frown so that even Atlas himself would be surprised. "Could it be that this old man knows about it?"
After telling him everything that had happened in the past few days, the old man remained silent for a long time. Finally, he said, "Your plan is indeed very good. I didn't think of these things at all. Not only do you understand their psychology, but you can also change your strategy according to the sudden situation. Make everything revolve around your thoughts. I really didn't expect that you would be the most suitable person to be the clan head. " Qingtian didn't expect that the old man would say such a thing. He was truly surprised.
"Do you know that my dream since I was young was to become a great person like Buluo? Not only am I powerful, but I also have a smart mind. That's why I kept practicing with all my might, in order to unify this chaotic continent. However, when I became strong and became the city lord of Storm City, I realized... What a joke!
Which major power in the continent isn't an outstanding leader? It was already barely enough to defeat one, let alone settle all the disputes. The legitimate clan head was being controlled by the Elders Guild. He was simply a puppet. Thus, I cultivate even harder until I can defeat all my opponents. Almost everyone admits that I am the strongest.
But so what? What can I do by myself? Could Storm City fight against everyone else? It was impossible.
As time passed, I have grown old, and I no longer have the ambition I had in the past. But just as I'm about to give up, you appeared like a star of hope. Suddenly, you descended upon Unfalling City. You became the patriarch at lightning speed, and then you showed me your strength. Now, your wisdom has shown me the future of the continent. Child, thank you so much!" At this moment, Chrysanthemum no longer had a bit of a valiant appearance, just like an old man who was on the verge of dying. She was telling herself about the past.
"Don't worry, I will definitely fulfill your unfinished wish. Turn it into reality" Qingtian was a bit moved, because he saw the true love of an old man... It was as if he was thinking of his own grandfather. No matter how difficult it was, he had to make it through. He couldn't let down this old man's expectations.
"Haha, alright, I believe you are the best. After saying so much, he still didn't bring up the proper business. Oh right, why did you come here in such a hurry to find me?" Finally finishing his speech, the old man thought of the proper business.
"It's like this, although the three people in the south have already started fighting. You absolutely support me, but there is still a hidden danger." Tian Qingtian finally voiced his worries.
"You mean Norlin City?" Old Man Chrysanthemum naturally understood what Qingtian was thinking. After so long, it seemed like this was the only person who didn't make any moves.
"This isn't normal? According to my understanding, Jack is a very greedy person. No matter what happens, he will get a share of it. Take the Great Elder's plan as an example. At that time, he was the most active one. Because I didn't participate at all, so as long as he obtained a small force... You're qualified to be my equal. Otherwise, I would have been suppressing him in the north, but he didn't respond to your invitation this time. It's quite unusual." Chrysanthemum voiced her doubts, and even Qingtian didn't understand.
"No matter what, this is a critical moment. When the time comes, my rear will be empty. If he really takes advantage of this opportunity to invade... The whole plan will be ruined." Qingtian didn't care what he was thinking. The problem at hand had to be solved first.
" You mean you want me to stall him first? " Chrysanthemum seemed to understand what Atlas meant. He wanted to use her to stop Jack first. However, this was understandable. She was now on the same side as this brat. It wouldn't be good if she just watched him move without putting in any effort. Moreover, after so many things had happened in Unfalling City, his strength had also been reduced a little. It was really too difficult for him to deal with so many powers by himself.
"Yes, it would be best if we send out our troops and block the path between the Norlin City and the Unfalling City. Later, you will personally meet him and see what exactly is going on. This is the safest way. Otherwise, I really don't have the confidence to continue this war. " Atlas's meaning was very clear: Didn't you always desire to unify the continent? If you don't give me some blood, I will put down the blame and decide what to do!
"This is indeed a good idea. Let's do it this way. There's no time to lose. I'll immediately send people over. This old fellow better be obedient, if he has any special thoughts. I don't mind teaching him a lesson." The old man was naturally happy when he had something to do. Furthermore, it was to contribute to his childhood dream. Of course, he would put in a lot of effort.
"Thank you so much. I will definitely solve the problems in the south in the shortest time possible. When the time comes, I will meet you here. Let's see what tricks Norlin City is playing." After getting his ideal answer, Qingtian was very happy. He still had a lot of things to do. He was ready to take his leave.
"Do you want me to test its firepower first?" The old man said with an itch in his hand. He seemed to have also felt the aura before the war and became excited.
"That's not necessary, but I think you can put on a show." Seeing him so proactive, Qingtian had a new idea in his mind.
"Acting? What do you mean?"
"That means you will immediately send troops and find an indifferent port to contact Jack. It would be best to surround his forces. It would be better if we could have a fight, but remember, we must not let any large-scale battle happen. Because we still have to face the Devil Beast in the future. Losing our combat strength is the most terrifying thing. After I deal with the matters in the south, I can fix him freely." After finishing his instructions, Qingtian hurriedly left the Storm City and rushed to the Beyond Unfalling City. Because he was about to leave as well.
