242 Everything Has Been Resolved
Yi Chengrui’s worry was not without reason.
He might not be a powerful City Lord, but he was a City Lord who truly cared about Changping and everyone. He was worthy of this position.
“Moreover, this treaty was signed by us and the demon beasts. I don’t think Jingdu has received the news yet. They won’t care so much. If they know that we have lost so many mines, I’m afraid they will have objections.”
The higher-ups only looked at the results, not the process. They had a lot of mines in their hands previously, but now they had lost nearly half, which meant that their income would be reduced by a lot. They would not care about the twists and turns in this.
“If people from Jingdu come later, I don’t know how to explain it. Perhaps they’ll re-draft the treaty. However, if that’s the case, I’m afraid the demonic beasts won’t let this matter rest.”
Ye Xuan wasn’t someone from Changping, so he would leave sooner or later. At that time, the insatiable greed of humans would anger the demonic beasts. Who would be able to clean up the mess then?
There were so many people in Jingdu who were blocked by demonic beasts. Only Ye Xuan had safely and successfully arrived to solve the urgent situation. Yi Chengrui didn’t dare to gamble, nor did he dare to trust anyone else.
“Besides, I think those big sects might even want to use force to make those demonic beasts yield, but this way simply won’t work.”
Yi Chengrui had also thought the same previously, but he completely gave up on this idea after inadvertently seeing Qian Yuan’s strength.
With such an unfathomably powerful transformed beast, in addition to those powerful great demons, none of them were easy to deal with. They were not something that the big sects could deal with.
Even if these sects gathered all their forces, they would probably have to pay a heavy price to suppress Qian Yuan. At that time, there would be countless deaths and injuries. In the end, they would be the unlucky ones.
boxn ov el. c o mSuch an outcome was not as good as the present. At least for now, they would only lose a portion of the benefits, but they could exchange it for long-term stability and no casualties.
“So what do you want me to do?”
“Elder Ye, I know you’re a capable person. I hope you can come forward and help us talk to the people in Jingdu.”
Ye Xuan understood Yi Chengrui’s request and nodded in agreement. “Don’t worry. As the saying goes, ‘one must go all the way to save a person’. Since I’ve intervened in this matter, I won’t just ignore it.”
He had previously considered this aspect and was preparing to discuss it with Yi Chengrui, but he didn’t expect him to say this first.
Ye Xuan was well aware of the conduct of the great sects in Jingdu. Each and every one of them put benefits first. Who knew what else they would do if they wanted to fight for the spirit mine? They would ruin the hard-won relationship between Changping and the demonic beasts.
Yi Chengrui was finally relieved. “Elder Ye, with your words, I can be completely at ease.”
When Qian Yuan was here, it wasn’t appropriate for him to talk about this. After all, they had discussed it. If such an accident happened in the end, it would inevitably leave a wrong impression, or something else would happen.
Just as Ye Xuan and Yi Chengrui were discussing, someone ran over in a hurry.
“City Lord, there are many people at the city gate.”
When Ye Xuan and Yi Chengrui saw the people, they were in a sorry state. The original color of their clothes had long been blurred, and there were wounds on them. At first glance, they looked like refugees fleeing from famine.
The ‘refugees’ also noticed Ye Xuan and Shen Changling. They raised their hands and shouted as if they knew them.
Shen Changling looked at them for a long time and finally found that these people looked familiar. He subconsciously blurted out, “Aren’t they those people from Jingdu?”
All of them were from the large sects in Jingdu. At this moment, they had gone through countless dangers and finally arrived in Changping after everything had ended.
After learning their identities from Shen Changling, Yi Chengrui hurriedly welcomed them in. After all, these disciples had a high status in the sects.
At the same time, Ye Xuan and Shen Changling also learned about what they had encountered.
They were attacked by flying demonic beasts on the way, but unfortunately, they were not as lucky as Shen Changling to be able to ride on Ye Xuan’s coattails.
As a result, all of their flying magic weapons suffered serious damage. When they landed on land, they were chased by all kinds of demonic land beasts, including Qian Yuan.
It knew that the people of Changping had found reinforcements, so it had specially sent demonic beasts to surround and intercept them. These disciples didn’t know the specific situation in Changping, so how could they be a match for the great demons? In addition, the demonic beasts were extremely hostile to the human race at that time and they wouldn’t rest until one of them died.
Of course, these disciples were not to be trifled with. They had killed many demonic beasts, but they incurred the wrath of the demonic beasts. As a result, each and every one of them was tormented miserably.
If it wasn’t for Ye Xuan forcing the demonic beast tide to retreat in the end and negotiating with Qian Yuan, they probably wouldn’t have made it to Changping alive.
“You guys are too miserable.”
Shen Changling couldn’t help but complain with his eyes wide open when he heard about their encounter.
Although he had a narrow escape and was at the edge of danger, he could be pulled back even if he had met the King of Hell with Ye Xuan around.
In comparison, these people suffered mental and physical torture. Their fate and encounters were a hundred times worse than his.
At least Shen Changling was standing here safe and sound.
The disciples looked around and realized that something was wrong. “Didn’t you say that there were demonic beasts attacking the city? Why wasn’t there any when we arrived?”
Speaking of which, these disciples felt extremely lucky that those demonic beasts had suddenly disappeared. Otherwise, they would not have had the chance to live.
Shen Changling’s expression suddenly became extremely complicated, with a little pride. These people were a little confused and didn’t know why he had such an expression.
