Sure enough, Wen Xu thought, a fierce battle was unavoidable.
Wen Xu could sense that the City Lord's Office had already fallen into disorder, but he had not expected it to have reached this point. Even the Five Major Sects' gilded signboards no longer worked. It was clear that the sealing formation was truly difficult to break.
Compared to Wen Xu's worries, Chen Zui was downright delighted. Today was the most satisfying day he had had since arriving in Pill Fragrance City.
Sudden Turn
Pill Fragrance City was a great coastal city, its population vastly exceeding that of major inland cities. With pill cultivation culture flourishing here, cultivators streamed in without end, either seeking pills or seeking instruction. Thus, the City Lord's Office had recruited quite a few capable people.
But in this world, those blessed with exceptional talent rarely wished to be driven by an Aristocratic Clan. Most so-called capable people had some talent, but not quite enough. Only after attaching themselves to the City Lord's Office and receiving the support of all kinds of medicinal pills had they barely advanced to the Nascent Soul realm.
Thus, in some small cities, a city lord with Nascent Soul cultivation was already the foremost expert in the city. But in Pill Fragrance City, Nascent Souls were as common as dogs, and Golden Cores were worth nothing at all. That was also why the City Lord's Office could treat the three of them so poorly.
Having lorded it over Pill Fragrance City for so long, even if they usually put on a cordial front and appeared to be dignified Nascent Soul True Lords, with the City Lord's Office standing behind them, they had long been corroded by arrogance and vanity, becoming the City Lord's Office's genuine watchdogs.
