"Ha ha, then it's settled. Let's go find Cai Burin and leave together."
"Now?" Shunshen didn't expect Wang Long to be in such a hurry. "But the crisis in Feather City has just been resolved, and the poisonous mist in the other three directions hasn't been completely cleared. If we leave now, Feather City will still become a dead city."
"Not now; we'll leave immediately after we clear the poisonous mist. That would be our greatest effort for Feather City. If we don't leave soon, I'm afraid Elder Lin Jueying will clash with us."
Shunshen understood that Wang Long was referring to the change in Lin Jueying's attitude towards them after they had become the unofficial yet effective lords of Feather City.
It made sense; in terms of reputation, strength, and insight, he was far inferior to Wang Long and the others. Moreover, during the life-and-death crisis, their remarkable efforts had led everyone to see them as the future lords.
Lin Jueying's pettiness had resurfaced in the days following the crisis resolution. Although he still had to maintain a minimum level of respect towards them on the surface, he was already playing various tricks behind the scenes.
With their insight, how could they not see through it? They simply had little interest in Feather City and were too lazy to point it out—like how they already knew that all the captains of the four city gates had been summoned by Lin Jueying under the pretext of celebration.
Shunshen's thoughts were more orthodox than Wang Long's. He frowned and said, "We can't say that. Perhaps Lin Jueying has done things incorrectly, but what about the innocent citizens? What about those warriors? As long as it's within our capabilities, we should help them."
"The key right now is that we can't help them at all." Wang Long rolled his eyes at Shunshen's stubbornness. "I know what you're thinking; it's just about how to help Feather City restore its previous order and not become a dead city. Don't worry; we don't need to do this; there will naturally be others to help them clean up."
"How do you know? Did Cai Burin tell you?"
"He's practically been exiled by Holy Divine Gate; what can he tell me? But I do know one thing: as long as people from the Third Realm are still targeting this place, then the various Major Sects of the divine race will definitely not give up on Feather City. They will also put all their efforts into building defenses here. This has already become a matter of face for the divine race, and they would love to have an opportunity to confront someone from the Third Realm head-on. Moreover, what's left for Feather City isn't about having a strong enforcer; it's about relocating villagers from other regions nearby—there's nothing we can do to help with that."
"Yeah! We can't help at all." Shunshen felt a bit disappointed.
Having lived in seclusion here for countless years, it was finally time to leave!
Five days later
"Everyone, get your spirits up! Although Lord Shunshen, Wang Long, and Cai Burin have already left, this is still our Feather City! We must protect its safety! Besides, you still have me! Your Third Elder will be here with you through thick and thin!"
Originally, seeing Wang Long and Shunshen being so easy to talk to, before he could think of any other way, they were already planning to leave Feather City on their own. Just after sending them off, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, only to see his subordinates looking reluctant, which made him furious. He directly made it clear who was in charge in Feather City.
Of course, even though his words were a bit blunt and ruthless, many people still bought into it. One reason was that he had promised certain benefits to some individuals during previous secret meetings. On the other hand, he had been an elder in Feather City for many years, so he still held some prestige in the eyes of the crowd.
However, just as they were gathering their thoughts to return to Feather City and consider how to proceed with the reconstruction, a flash of spiritual light suddenly appeared in the sky.
"That, that is..." The warriors of Feather City were no strangers to such spiritual lights; each flash represented a top expert flying through the air. Moreover, the spiritual pressure they emitted made it clear that each of those figures was an elite powerhouse!
In an instant, chaos erupted in Feather City. With their current strength, how could they possibly face these top experts?
Many people began to feel despair and directed their resentment towards Lin Jueying.
Didn’t you keep playing little tricks to push others away? Didn’t you just say that you were still here in Feather City? Well then, let’s see how you deal with these top experts!
"Who is in charge of Feather City now?" After a moment of panic, when those top experts landed, they realized they were actually from the divine clan! They were allies. Each one displayed expressions of relief as if they had escaped death.
"It is I; I am the current city lord of Feather City." Lin Jueying felt the most relaxed among them. Previously, he had thought like the other warriors that they were facing yet another unknown enemy. Now that hope had emerged, he dared not delay and hurried forward to assess the situation.
"We are from the Evil Extermination Sect; this is Elder Jade Pine! From now on, all affairs of Feather City will be managed by Elder Jade Pine. You must immediately hand over the city lord's seal and the authority over Feather City's magic formations! Additionally, report on the current situation in Feather City so we can determine how to proceed with the reconstruction work!"
"Ah?" He was taken aback; he never expected such a turn of events. He forced a smile and said, "Great Divine Powers, I think that's unnecessary? Although Feather City is facing great difficulties now, those strong enemies have already been repelled by us. There shouldn't be any danger left; we appreciate your concern..."
"Stop wasting my time!" The elite disciple from the Evil Extermination Sect saw him rambling on and drew his sword, releasing an overwhelming aura that enveloped all the warriors of Feather City!
Lin Jueying stood at the forefront and naturally felt the greatest pressure. The oppressive aura felt almost tangible against his face, causing his expression to change!
It wasn't that he feared this young disciple from the Evil Extermination Sect due to his own strength. However, just from this aura alone, he could tell that his own strength was not much different from that of this leading disciple! In other words, the elder-level experts behind him were all likely stronger than him!
He had no room to resist. Not to mention that throughout the Northern Qian Mountain Range, the reputation of the Evil Extermination Sect was at its peak. Even if he had the greatest eloquence, it would be impossible for him to rally the warriors behind him to fight against the Evil Extermination Sect!
—He didn't even have the courage himself.
In the end, with no other choice, Lin Jueying could only make the wisest decision. He obediently handed over all the power he held.
At that moment, a wave of sorrow rose in Lin Jueying's heart.
When Wang Long and Shunshen were here, he at least had significant power. Aside from a few key areas, Wang Long and the others had entrusted power to him, allowing him to maintain order within the city and even organize the warriors. But now he had truly become a mere figurehead. Because of his identity, he was even openly marginalized and attacked by those experts from the Evil Extermination Sect!
"Retribution!" Lin Jueying despaired as he left the lord's mansion and looked at the current state of Feather City; suddenly, this once ordinary scene gave him a sense of sunset melancholy.
The Evil Extermination Sect arrived suddenly after strong enemies had retreated, and with so many experts present. Upon their arrival, they immediately seized power. This tense atmosphere, along with Wang Long, Shunshen, and Cai Burin's rapid departure, filled him with an ominous feeling.
"Lord Wang Long! You have returned!"
In Nanhua City, Ying Sang and others who were diligently practicing their newly learned divine arts suddenly realized that someone had silently infiltrated their courtyard. They immediately became alert but upon glancing over, they discovered it was none other than their long-awaited Wang Long!
