Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife
Chapter 1584 - 1274: It Seems That I Can Only Write a Letter to Ask for Help from the Chiyan Sect

What these people present did not expect was that after they had finally managed to establish contact with the Chiyan Sect, and hadn't yet confirmed the sect's attitude, the Mysterious Moon Palace actually sent a direct disciple of the Hall Master over.

They certainly didn't think that the direct disciple was merely coming to Sky Wolf City for training. There were so many other training grounds to choose from, but they happened to choose Sky Wolf City.

It was quite obvious that the Mysterious Moon Palace might have already discovered that there were rebellious intentions in Sky Wolf City and had specially sent the Hall Master's direct disciple to intimidate them.

That direct disciple of the Mysterious Moon Palace's Hall Master might just come and make an example out of some families by executing a few to set a warning. At this thought, some Family Heads present couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

When Liu Yaosheng came to his senses, he hurriedly asked, "City Lord Ding, what should we do now?"

"There's still no news from the Chiyan Sect. If the direct disciple of the Mysterious Moon Palace Hall Master really arrives, I'm afraid our Sky Wolf City will be a river of blood."

As Liu Yaosheng's words fell, other Family Heads also began to speak out.

"That's right, City Lord Ding, the Mysterious Moon Palace Hall Master sending their direct disciple must have discovered something."

"It's over, it's over, what do we do now..."

"Why don't we just leave Sky Wolf City entirely!"

…

Seeing these people in a panic, Ding Qingfeng chuckled softly, "Look at how frightened you all are; you haven't actually betrayed the Mysterious Moon Palace, so what is there to be afraid of?"

"Although the Mysterious Moon Palace is powerful, to control the entire territory of the Mysterious Moon Palace, it needs families like ours. If the Mysterious Moon Palace recklessly wiped out a family without any evidence, it would surely cause widespread fear."

"Then, who would still risk their lives for the Mysterious Moon Palace?"

"Since its inception, the Mysterious Moon Palace has never casually exterminated a family."

Upon hearing Ding Qingfeng's words, the people in the hall slightly calmed down. Indeed, they hadn't really betrayed the Mysterious Moon Palace yet; the Mysterious Moon Palace should not act directly against them.

Ding Qingfeng then continued, "Since the Mysterious Moon Palace is sending people now, it means they've already picked up on some clues and are sending someone to investigate."

"If they had direct evidence, it wouldn't just be one person coming; it would be a congregation of Mysterious Moon Palace cultivators."

Upon hearing this, someone asked, "Then City Lord Ding, what should we do next?"

Ding Qingfeng said, "When you return, temporarily cut off correspondence with those disciples of the Chiyan Sect and wait to see the situation first."

At this moment, Liu Yaosheng said, "But we've already told the Chiyan Sect that we intend to join them. If we suddenly cut off communication now, wouldn't the Chiyan Sect..."

Before Liu Yaosheng could finish, Ding Qingfeng interrupted, "Do you think the Chiyan Sect wouldn't know about the Mysterious Moon Palace Hall Master's direct disciple coming to Sky Wolf City?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yaosheng immediately said, "City Lord Ding is right."

Ding Qingfeng continued, "The person coming is not an ordinary disciple of the Mysterious Moon Palace; it's the direct disciple of the Hall Master. If anything happens to him, the Hall Master will surely be enraged. Even if the Chiyan Sect really wanted Sky Wolf City, they couldn't incorporate it into the Chiyan Sect at this time."

If it were an ordinary disciple of the Mysterious Moon Palace, even if they died, the Mysterious Moon Palace likely wouldn't go to war with the Chiyan Sect over an ordinary disciple. After all, with today's dwindling population, it's rare for wars between two major powers to be all-out; it's generally all clandestine maneuvers.

But if something happens to the Hall Master's direct disciple, the nature of it changes. If a full-scale war erupts between these two major powers, Sky Wolf City will be the first to suffer.

So Ding Qingfeng plans to muddle through this situation first.

After all, the person coming is the Hall Master's direct disciple and can't stay in Sky Wolf City forever. Moreover, the other party is here to train; they've never heard of an Immortal coming to the mortal realm for training and staying in one place forever.

Ding Qingfeng estimated that Lu Chen wouldn't stay in Sky Wolf City for more than ten years and would leave eventually. As long as Lu Chen leaves, they can continue with their plan.

Ding Qingfeng once again glanced at the people present and then coldly warned, "Don't blame me for not reminding you, before the envoy arrives, clean up any traces and don't expose anything. Otherwise, if something happens, don't blame me for not protecting you."

Everyone replied in unison, "Yes, City Lord."

Ding Qingfeng then said, "Alright, you can all go back now."

The people then stood up, each leaving the City Lord's Mansion with worry on their faces.

Watching their backs, Ding Qingfeng chuckled mockingly, "So eager, yet Sky Wolf City hasn't officially belonged to the Chiyan Sect, and they're already sending their family disciples to the Chiyan Sect, truly courting death."

The Tianyan Immortal Domain has distinctly marked territories, and these families were supported by the Mysterious Moon Palace to manage mortal cities. Yet they want to turn their backs and join the Chiyan Sect. This is blatant betrayal of the Mysterious Moon Palace, and generally speaking, an Immortal Sect cannot tolerate such betrayal.

Of course, there is a major reason for these families' actions: the Mysterious Moon Palace almost exclusively recruits female disciples.

In the mortal world, once women leave the family and embark on the immortal path, gaining power, they are unlikely to return to their families.

And the men of these families can only join the affiliated forces of the Mysterious Moon Palace. Compared to the Mysterious Moon Palace, these affiliated forces naturally don't offer the same level of power and cultivation resources.

Moreover, the Mysterious Moon Palace is quite far from Sky Wolf City, while the Chiyan Sect is nearby, just a three-day journey away. These families thought of sending their family members to the Chiyan Sect for cultivation.

As more and more family members join the Chiyan Sect, these families had a bold idea: why not directly join the Chiyan Sect?

Of course, their actions represent betrayal against the Mysterious Moon Palace.

After the Family Heads left the City Lord's Mansion, they gathered together and discussed the matter of the envoy arriving.

At this moment, two people separated from the crowd and went to another street. The Head of Wang Clan looked at the Head of Liu Family, Liu Yaosheng, and said, "Old Liu, are we just going to let this slide?"

"Other families might be fine, but our two families have sent quite a few family disciples to the Chiyan Sect. Once that envoy arrives, we are bound to be found out, and by then, disaster will befall our families."

Upon hearing Wang Yongsheng's words, Liu Yaosheng fell silent. After a long pause, he said, "It seems we can only write to the Chiyan Sect for help."

Wang Yongsheng sighed and said, "I'm afraid the Chiyan Sect won't help us, after all, the one coming is the Mysterious Moon Palace's Hall Master."

Wang Yongsheng didn't think the Chiyan Sect would act against the Mysterious Moon Palace's direct disciple just for a single Sky Wolf City, thus completely tearing their relationship.
