A moment later, Zhou Zhou and Bai Yi rode on Nezario to Sand Gold City.
When Qian Jiangsheng and Zhang Kaishan found out that Zhou Zhou had arrived, they immediately came to greet him.
"Greetings, my Lord!"
"Greetings, Legion Commander Bai!"
The three of them said respectfully.
"Where's Zhang Youde?"
Zhou Zhou nodded and went straight to the point.
"Zhang Youde?"
Qian Jiangsheng thought for a while and quickly remembered.
"My Lord, Zhang Youde originally wanted to be an ordinary subject after coming to Sand Gold City."
"However, he understood our military merit exchange system and directly joined our army."
"He should be in the barracks now."
Qian Jiangsheng said respectfully.
"Take us to him."
Zhou Zhou said.
"Yes, my Lord. Legion Commander Bai, please follow me."
Qian Jiangsheng walked in front of the two of them and led the way.
Zhou Zhou followed with Bai Yun seeing that.
A moment later.
At the barracks in Sand Gold City.
Zhou Zhou and Bai Yi quickly found Zhang Youde under Qian Jiangsheng's lead.
He was training with the other soldiers in the arena at the moment.
Qian Jiangsheng immediately called him over.
"Greetings, my Lord."
Zhang Youde was a little confused at first, but he immediately said respectfully when he saw Zhou Zhou.
"How are you doing in Sand Gold City?"
Zhou Zhou looked at him and said.
"Very good! I feel much safer than when I was a Lord." Zhang Youde could not help but grin.
He could not help but sigh when he recalled being a Lord.
At the same time, he regretted being obsessed with being a Lord.
Wasn't it good to be a soldier in Sand Gold City now?
Not only could he enjoy the protection of the Lord of The Blazing Sun, he also did not have to worry about matters of the Lord all day long. Moreover, he did not have to worry about the Supreme Will constantly targeting him, nor did he have to worry about any people of foreign races attacking his territory.
This life was simply like a safe immortal compared to his previous days as a Lord.
He was living quite comfortably now especially with the military merit exchange system for the soldiers.
Zhou Zhou acknowledged.
Then, he told Zhang Youde what had happened on the World Channel.
Zhang Youde was stunned for a moment before he immediately said angrily, "I'm not dead yet. These people actually cursed me to death?"
"Please tell me what you need me to do, my Lord! I'll definitely cooperate with you!"
He was now a subject under the Lord of The Blazing Sun.
He naturally knew which position he should take now.
"It's nothing serious. Just post a proof of life video of yourself."
Zhou Zhou said.
"That's easy."
Zhang Youde immediately agreed.
Zhou Zhou acknowledged.
Then, he turned on the recording function of the World Channel.
A moment later, a transaction with the Lord of The Blazing Sun appeared in the Marketplace again.
This transaction was special because it was free.
Others could choose to buy it and obtain the goods inside without paying any price.
This product was a video.
It was Zhang Youde's proof of life video!
After this transaction appeared, it quickly surpassed the previous transaction because it involved the recent commotion of the Lord of The Blazing Sun killing a Lord of the same race. It was pushed to the number one spot in the transaction viewership.
After these transactions were widely circulated by the Lords on the World Channel, there was immediately a huge commotion among the Lords.
…
Yulin City.
Zhang Yulin had just finished his ranking match today and was resting when he saw Zhou Zhou's deal.
"A video? And it's for free?"
"The Lord of The Blazing Sun actually gives out free deals?"
He was subconsciously surprised.
Then, Zhang Yulin bought it curiously.
After he opened the video.
It was pointed at a normal-looking middle-aged man who was a little short, cursing and swearing.
"Chen Haobin (Storm Lord's real name), you m*therf*cker…"
"I…"
"…"
"The Lord of The Blazing Sun clearly didn't harm me and even made me a subject in his territory, but you're cursing me to my death?"
"Lords, don't be deceived by the Storm Lord and the others. I'm still fine. I'm doing very well."
"And those Lords who want to become enemies with the Lord of The Blazing Sun because of their territory problems."
"I know you value your status as Lords very much. I was the same back then, but I realized that there are too many powerful Lords in this world. To be fair, can you really match up to Top Lords like the Lord of The Blazing Sun, the Insect Lord, and the Dragon Lady Lord?"
"There are many paths in the world. There's no need for us to fight to the death on one path, let alone a path that can cost us our lives at any time."
"Let's give up your dangerous Lord status and become adventurers or other professions. We will definitely be able to go far."
"Finally, welcome everyone to the Sand Gold City."
"The benefits here are very good. If you don't believe me, you can come and inspect it before making a decision. You won't be disappointed."
"It is really not a lie even though it sounds like fake publicity!"
"If you still insist on becoming enemies with the Lord of The Blazing Sun."
"Then we'll be mortal enemies when we meet the next time!"
…
The video stopped abruptly.
The video was short, but Zhang Yulin already understood the general situation.
"So this group of people from the Sun Extermination Association wanted to deliberately slander the Lord of The Blazing Sun, so they spread the news that the Thorn Lord was killed by the Lord of The Blazing Sun."
"So exciting!"
Zhang Yulin was a little excited.
Battles between the Human Lords of the Cerulean Planet happened from time to time after they relocated to the High Continent, but these Lords who were fighting among themselves were all unknown Lords.
The other Lords would not pay attention to these "small matters" even if they really happened.
This was because everyone had long known that internal strife was inevitable.
Lords of the same race were often the easiest to deal with compared to the unknown foreign races after all.
Therefore, while such matters were often discussed on the World Channel, none of them would do anything about it.
No one really took it seriously.
However, it was different for the Lord of The Blazing Sun, the Dragon Lady Lord, and the Overlord Lord.
In the eyes of Lords like Zhang Yulin, they were equivalent to public figures or even celebrities on the Cerulean Planet.
Commoners would always demand and criticize public figures with higher moral standards.
That was why the matter of the Lord of The Blazing Sun killing a Lord of the same race caused an uproar.
Speaking of which, Zhang Yulin realized that this was a big deal and immediately opened the World Channel to share this matter.
Then, he saw that many Lords on the World Channel were also talking about this.
[I'm disgusted because I really thought that the Lord of The Blazing Sun had killed a Lord of the same race. I even added the Storm Lord as a friend and comforted him.]
[Me too. I even scolded the Lord of The Blazing Sun. F*ck, will I be blacklisted by the Lord of The Blazing Sun?]
[I don't think so. The Lord of The Blazing Sun isn't a robot. How can he watch the World Channel all the time to blacklist people?]
[A person who uses our sympathy is so disgusting!]
[Lord of The Blazing Sun, I'm sorry! I take back the bad things I said to you previously!]
[Sorry +1!]
[I don't believe that this person is the Thorn Lord. He has no evidence. Don't believe him. Perhaps this person is an actor hired by the Lord of The Blazing Sun!]
[It's the Thorn Lord. I've made a transaction video with him before. He looks like this.]
[Indeed. I've already seen several good friends of the Thorn Lord, proving that he is indeed the Thorn Lord himself.]
[This is really ridiculous…]
…
In the Sun Extermination Association group chat.
The Lords in the group chat were already panicking.
[I'm done for. More than 700,000 Lords suddenly added me as a friend. They were all scolding me when I saw their notifications…]
[Me too!]
[I've also been scolded by many people.]
[Storm Lord: Don't panic. What they say doesn't affect us at all. It's just a verbal attack. The threat of the Lord of The Blazing Sun is real. Don't forget our original intention of gathering together!]
[I won't be a Lord at most! Isn't the Thorn Lord living well?]
[That's right. The Lord of The Blazing Sun doesn't seem to be as scary as I thought. I'll give up my status as a Lord and become an adventurer or seek refuge with the Lord of The Blazing Sun if it comes to it!]
[The Thick Earth Lord has left the group chat!]
[Little Daze Group Master has left the group chat!]
In the territory of the Storm Lord.
The Storm Lord saw these two notifications to leave the group just as he was fuming about two traitors who had appeared among his allies.
He was stunned then his heart ached immediately.
He did not have many Lords in the Sun Extermination Association to begin with, only eight Lords remaining after these two left.
However, it was not over yet.
Another five Lords left the Sun Extermination Association after a while.
In the blink of an eye, there were only three Lords, including himself, left in his Sun Extermination Association.
As for these three Lords, they were the three Lords who had founded the Blazing Sun Society together.
Seeing this scene, and the hundreds of thousands of "friendly" words from his friend request list.
The three of them could not help but feel that the Sun Extermination Association was finished.
…
At the same time…
In Sand Gold City.
"My Lord, how was my video?" Zhang Youde asked smilingly.
"Everything is fine other than it being too vulgar." Zhou Zhou chuckled.
He felt very comfortable now.
The Sun Extermination Association could not no longer cause much trouble even if they did not perish this time.
While he did not care about these enemies to begin with, it was also very satisfying if he could stop these guys from jumping around and talking nonsense.
"I did some self-media when I was on the Cerulean Planet." Zhang Youde said embarrassedly.
Zhou Zhou acknowledged.
Then, he asked Qian Jiangsheng to reward the other party with some military merits. He left with Bai Yun in surprise.
On the way.
"How's the clearing of the monsters near the Sand Gold Land recently?"
Zhou Zhou asked casually.
"My Lord, don't worry."
"We've already cleared all the fog monsters near Sand Gold City."
"Currently, many merchants and even caravans from Blazing Sun City and Fish Spring Town have already begun to come to our Sand Gold City to trade through the trade route."
"Things are looking up." Qian Jiangsheng said.
Zhou Zhou acknowledged.
Then, he chatted with him for a while more before riding on Nezario again and flying in the direction of the Yellow Gold-Tier regional territory, Sunshine City.
He wanted to buy a batch of Yellow Gold-Tier Aurora Crystals and change all the Aurora Kingdom Towers in Blazing Sun City to Yellow Gold-Tier Aurora Kingdom Towers!
At that time, he would not be too worried even if he encountered stronger opponents in the Myriad Races Lord Battlefield.
