Chapter 38 - Trust

Year 1047 of the Zhang Dynasty - City Lord Domain of Heavenly Phoenix City - City Lord mansion

(Nie Lee POV)

"Glory to the city lord" Wang family head

"Glory to the city lord" Mo family head

"Glory to the city lord" Wei family head

"Glory to the city lord" Joo family head

The four strongest heads in my Heavenly Phoenix City have gathered in this meeting room of my mansion.

"My twelve years of meditation have ended, report any significant changes" Nie Lee

Every ten years or so, I wake up to manage the inferior beings in this city.

"Almighty city lord, in in representation of my family I would like to ask for revenge" Wei family head

...This is new, usually they would just say that there are no changes and then I would go meditate again.

"Who are you? where is the previous family head?" Nie Lee

That man is definitely not the one I remember.

"I am the brother of the deceased Wei dong, Wei Wu"

A family head of my city died while I was meditating? this needs to be dealt with!

"What happened?" Nie Lee

"Almost eleven years ago, I went to the southern Training grounds to witness an execution. But I arrived too late, by the time I reached there only corpses and humiliation were left" Wei Wu

"Explain yourself, what happened to them?" Nie Lee

"At that time I was disconcerted, but I had a clue" Wei Wu

"The condemned Resin" Nie Lee

"It is as you deducted, Almighty city lord" Wei Wu

Before any execution, the lowlife is force-fed with a tracker to avoid any hope of running away.

"And where did that lead you?" Nie Lee

"To a city of strange spiritual creatures disguised as men" Wei Wu

"A what?!" Nie Lee

"I observed them for weeks and they were capable of killing silver rank creatures with ease" Wei Wu

This is no trivial matter.

"For that reason I waited for the Almighty lord, this is an offense to the great Heavenly Phoenix City and to all the West Continent!" Wei Wu

So despicable, they are dirtying the honor of every cultivator in this continent!

"There is no need to say more, this Almighty one now declares the immediate elimination of these imprudent" Nie Lee

"At your order, city lord" Wang family head

"At your order, city lord" Mo family head

"At your order, city lord" Wei Wu

"At your order, city lord" Joo family head

...

"I have finally found them" Mo family head

Year 11 of the Human Calendar - Holy Land of Xue - In front of the statue of the goddesses of life and peace

(Linjian POV)

North, west and south. they will not come from the east because the ocean is close and, sometimes, the Gold Rank spiritual creatures of the shore attacks those who approach close enough.

"Thanks Tang, now go back to your position" Linjian

"Yes!" Tang

My Life Detection with the help of the Spiritual Repellents allows me to feel 1 KM in every direction outside the walls.

(They are not here yet, where should I go?)

[Nowhere]

(What?!)

What is she saying?

[The orange flag is the color of the Nie family. You will need to be in top condition to fight a city lord, if he is out there]

(Are you telling me to sit down while they attack the kingdom?!)

[Trust in them]

(...)

[Trust in the people that followed you in this fight]

(It is really the time?)

[If you really want to change the world, they need to stand by themselves. You can't protect them forever]

The thought of a Independent land was always in my head since the start, maybe she is right. This is the perfect moment for them to step out in the world.

(I understand, but if I see something wrong I will not stand here with crossed arms)

[That is enough]

"Animal Whisperer" Linjian

Even if I cant fight.

"Residents of the Holy Land of Xue" Linjian

I will speak to every single one of them.

"Today will be a day in history to remember" Linjian

It is not the time to fear.

"Today we humans will fight the menace of cultivator for the first time" Linjian

I will believe in us.

"Today we will struggle against this world for the first time" Linjian

I will believe in the future.

"And we will definitely win! so don't worry about the loud sounds and keep with your everyday lives" Linjian
