Chapter 1026 - 1026 986 City Lord Takes a Side

1026: Chapter 986: City Lord Takes a Side 1026: Chapter 986: City Lord Takes a Side Ming Zongsheng watched as he was about to persuade Huang Tiankang and couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

“You truly are wise, the Yu family must be eliminated; otherwise, they will only create more chaos.

The stability and unity of the city are of the utmost importance.

Their ambitions are too great, plotting to eradicate each family one by one, then expand and grow.

Their ambition is indeed inflated, and I estimate they won’t even spare our Ming family.

That’s why we became vigilant.”

“Is that so?

Then I have a few questions that I need you to answer honestly.”

“Firstly, why has the Yu family suddenly gained this confidence and strength?

This question is crucial because, in recent years, the Yu family has been very compliant, managing their own small plot of land without any ambition or desire.”

“And the head of the Yu family, the young man called Yu Qiming, is also often not in Cloud Sea City and generally does not manage the family’s affairs.

Now, suddenly, they want to rise.

Don’t you find that very strange?”

Ming Zongsheng took a deep breath and said, “Okay, they found a helper.

With this support, they gained confidence.”

“Indeed, there is someone fomenting trouble.

Tell me, who is that person?”

“His name is Lu Chuan…”

Huang Tiankang frowned, staring at Ming Zongsheng.

“Lu Chuan… a familiar name.

He’s a Lu, isn’t he from the Lu family?”

“Absolutely not, he has no relation to the Lu family.

Since entering the city, he hasn’t visited Lu Manor at all!”

“Alright, how do you need my help?”

“I must state in advance that our people are only to assist.

If a real fight breaks out, the main force must still be your Ming family.”

Huang Tiankang continued, “However, when it comes time to divide the benefits, we can’t be shortchanged!”

Ming Zongsheng took a deep breath and nodded reluctantly, “No problem, I can accept that!”

“As long as the Yu family is destroyed, everything else is negotiable.”

Just then, the door to the study was suddenly pushed open, and Huang Kai’s figure strode in, followed closely by Xu You.

“Huang Kai?

Why have you come as well?” Ming Zongsheng turned to look at Huang Kai.

“Dad, we can’t help the Ming family against Lu Chuan!”

Huang Kai spoke with determination.

Ming Zongsheng immediately stood up, “Why not?

Lu Chuan is a foreigner; why should we let him do as he pleases here!”

Huang Tiankang raised his hand and motioned for him to sit down.

“Huang Kai, tell me, you burst in here without knocking, in such a rush to tell me we can’t go against Lu Chuan, what exactly is going on?”

Huang Tiankang looked puzzledly at Huang Kai.

“Dad, Lu Chuan is no ordinary person; he is very strong.

If we go against him, it definitely won’t be good for us!”

“And there’s more!”

Huang Kai looked at Xu You beside him and said, “You tell him.”

Huang Tiankang looked at Xu You, revealing a smile.

“Xu You, you’re involved in this too?

You are my most trusted and favorite subordinate.

Tell me, what did you specifically come here to say?”

“Honorable City Lord, I went up the mountain two days ago and returned to the sect to solve a crisis there.”

“Unexpectedly, that Demonic Cultivator was powerful, and I was no match for him.”

Huang Tiankang furrowed his brow, “Why bring this up now?”

“That Demonic Cultivator, I was no match for him, nor was my father.

Together, we couldn’t defeat that Demonic Cultivator, but at that time, Lu Chuan was there.

He helped our Ten Thousand Fires Sect and dealt with that Demonic Cultivator.”

After these words were spoken, Huang Tiankang immediately fell into deep thought.

“At that time… Lu Chuan was also present?

Who exactly is this Lu Chuan that has ties with your family?

What exactly is going on?”

“Why does he want to support the Yu family, help the Yu family, and yet also help the Ten Thousand Fires Sect and oppose the Ming family?”

Huang Tiankang was utterly baffled and couldn’t understand Lu Chuan’s motives.

“Dad, no matter what, we can’t oppose Lu Chuan, not to mention, at the very least, he is Xu You’s benefactor!”

Huang Kai said very seriously.

Upon hearing this, Ming Zongsheng immediately stood up.

“Mr.

Huang, you can’t speak like this.

Lu Chuan has bestowed a small favor, but this guy is a menace to the stability and safety of Cloud Sea City!

Allowing him to stay in Cloud Sea City will only continue to cause turmoil, which is extremely detrimental to our entire Cloud Sea City!”

He turned back to look at Huang Tiankang, “Lord Huang, as decision-makers, we must consider the big picture and not compromise over such trivial matters.

Lu Chuan managed to annihilate the Zhao family a few days ago, and in a few more days, he could annihilate our Ming family too!”

“By then, wouldn’t the city be filled with dead people, with battles everywhere?”

“None of us want to see that situation.”

Huang Tiankang nodded slightly, “Young Master Ming is absolutely right.

Nothing can compare to the peace and stability of Cloud Sea City.”

“For this reason, any unstable elements must be eliminated!”

He slammed his hand on the table and said, “Ming Zongsheng, I agree to help you.

If you decide to take action against them, we will provide assistance.”

Ming Zongsheng, upon hearing this, immediately laughed excitedly.

“Good!

The City Lord is truly wise and brilliant.

As long as Lu Chuan and the Yu family are eliminated, our Ming family will definitely strongly support the City Lord’s cause!”

He said this with great excitement, simultaneously bowing and clasping his hands towards Huang Tiankang with utmost respect.

Seeing this, Huang Kai stood there, stunned, looking at Huang Tiankang and asked, “Dad, why?

Going against Lu Chuan brings us no benefits!”

“Besides, he is the benefactor of Xu You’s family sect.

How can you justify this to Xu You?”

Huang Tiankang looked at Xu You behind Huang Kai and said helplessly, “General Xu, you know how much I value you.

After you joined my command, I have promoted you multiple times, allowing you to rise quickly—a rate unmatched by anyone.”

“I think I have done enough for you, but on this matter, I am afraid I have to make the decision myself.”

“In this case, you can try to persuade your benefactor to leave quickly.

I will assume he has repented and knows to correct his mistakes.

If he does not leave, then there’s nothing I can do, and don’t say I didn’t give him a chance.”

Xu You took a deep breath, “Must it be this way?”

“What else can it be?

Are we to just watch him disrupt the tranquil and harmonious environment of the city?”

“I don’t want to see any more unrest in the city; the way things are now is quite good.”

“Xu You, you are a general under my command; you must also possess a sense of the bigger picture!

You can’t always dwell on personal grievances.”

Xu You then lowered his head, appearing very dejected.

Ming Zongsheng laughed with satisfaction.

“General Xu, you better hurry and persuade your benefactor.

He’s waiting right outside the City Lord’s Mansion.

However, he doesn’t have the right to enter and has been stopped at the gate; I don’t know if he has left yet.”
