"The Recruitment Decree…" Meng Kui let out a cold laugh in his heart.
This move by the Monarch was not surprising. The Recruitment Decree was also within his expectations, and there were ways to deal with it.
A few days after the Recruitment Decree was issued, three Golden Core Cultivators entered Fire Persimmon Immortal City and were successfully "recruited" by the City Lord's Mansion.
The Meng Family had discovered the Magma Fairy Palace many years ago.
For the Meng Family, controlling the Magma Fairy Palace would give them a reason to occupy Fire Persimmon Immortal City. The resources of Fire Persimmon Immortal City were not outstanding, but its location was excellent. For the Meng Family, it wasn't an enclave. By occupying it, the Meng Family's influence could easily expand outward by a considerable margin.
This would also dramatically increase the Meng Family's influence throughout the entire Southern Bean Country.
These benefits were what the Meng Family truly valued!
