The light shifted, and everything around them vanished in an instant. When everyone saw the light again, they were all stunned by the sight before them.
Tree-lined streets, lush forests, rows upon rows of houses, and a towering rocky peak—everything seemed like something out of a dream. Spiritual energy flowed from the mouths of the three statues and dispersed through the air, bathing the entire city in rich spiritual energy. The instant they arrived, the pores of everyone's bodies opened, greedily devouring the flowing spiritual energy.
"Th-this... could this be an immortal realm?"
"Longevity Heaven actually has a city like this? Th-this is impossible. I must be dreaming!"
"Old Yang, didn't you say Konoha was only just about to start building its city? How is it already finished? Are you screwing with us? Is this really fucking Konoha?"
"Konoha is huge. It might already qualify as a third-tier city..."
Having just entered Konoha, everyone was so focused on the breathtaking sight before them that they failed to notice Lin Chuan and the other two standing in the distance.
Of course, Yang Yongxin had spotted Lin Chuan long ago and immediately flew over.
"City Lord, most of these are friends of mine. The rest are people who wish to join Konoha. Do you think they're suitable?" Yang Yongxin asked respectfully.
He now admired Lin Chuan and the other two beyond measure. Building a third-tier city in such a short time, with spiritual energy this abundant—there was nothing else like it in all of Longevity Heaven.
Naturally, he intended to follow such a city lord forever. He no longer had any thoughts of fleeing.
"Not bad. Also, don't call me City Lord from now on. Call me Naruto." Lin Chuan calmly looked at the crowd in the distance.
"Yes, Lord Naruto."
