Four hundred Golden Cores had left the city; still, over a hundred Golden Cores remained, and rumors had it that several hundred more Golden Cores, ready to act at a moment's notice, were hidden underneath the City Lord Mansion now under Cao Defang's control!
Therefore, just a hundred Golden Cores were more than enough to suppress any dissent; who would dare be so bold at this time? Even representatives from the major Sects conducted themselves with utmost politeness—no, no one dared argue but rather showed extreme deference, as if to say whatever you decree is right.
For if one who could level the Eternal Night Palace with their Divinity Transformation were to casually pop in at your place, wouldn't it be a cause for concern?
"Right now, there are two matters. The first matter, your identity."
