Translator: 549690339
After walking around Holy Dragon City, the cultivators of Black Rock City returned to their tents to rest.
Today, the Holy Dragon City had seen and heard too much, which had greatly stimulated them. The cultivators needed some time to digest it.
!!
Everything was afraid of comparison. After today’s experience, the black stone cultivators had begun to feel dissatisfied with their past lives. At the same time, they hoped that they and their families could also live in the enviable environment of Holy Dragon City.
Once grass grew in the heart, it was difficult to remove it. Instead, it would become more and more luxuriant under the nourishment of desire.
The middle-aged cultivator saw through his disciples ‘thoughts but did not say anything. Deep down, he was also filled with envy for the living environment in the Holy Dragon City.
As a middle-aged cultivator who was not adept at political tactics, he devoted himself to cultivation and teaching his disciples. He did not have a good life in black Rock City.
Although he had contributed a lot to Black Rock City, the benefits he received were only average. Even the wife and brother of the governor of Black Rock City received benefits that were one level higher than his.
This kind of seemingly unfair thing was not uncommon in Black Rock City.
The middle-aged cultivator was obsessed with cultivation and had very low standards of living. He was also grateful to the previous governor for supporting him in his travels in the wilderness. Even after suffering from many years of unfair treatment, he still did his best to cultivate generations of cultivators in Black Rock City.
However, in the past two years, his wife and children had been complaining more and more about him. They said that he, as the Grand Chief Instructor of cultivators in Black Rock City, received the same welfare treatment as the grandson of an elder in Black Rock City. As a result, his family was now as poor as water, and he had to make careful calculations for his life.
The middle-aged cultivator was annoyed and could only grit his teeth and ask to see the governor of Black Rock City. He tactfully raised his request to increase the level of the residents.
However, the governor of Black Rock City’s reply made the middle-aged cultivator’s heart sink.
At that time, the governor of Black Rock City had a troubled look on his face. He claimed that as the governor of a city, he had to consider all the citizens of Black Rock City and follow the rules of Black Rock City.
This kind of matter of increasing the level of residents had to be discussed by the elders before they could make a decision. Therefore, he asked the middle-aged cultivator to go back and wait for the news.
The middle-aged cultivator had no choice but to return to his home and wait silently. In the end, there was no news of him upgrading his resident level. Instead, he heard that the three-year-old grandson of an elder had obtained the qualification to upgrade his resident level.
A three-year-old child actually had a higher status than him. This made the middle-aged cultivator very angry.
He went to the governor of Black Rock City again to demand an explanation, but he was regretfully informed that after the elders ‘discussion, they felt that the middle-aged cultivator did not have the qualifications to upgrade his status as a resident for the time being. They wanted him to go back and continue waiting.
At the same time, the governor of Black Rock City also gave the middle-aged cultivator a warning. He told him to put in more effort in cultivating the cultivators of Black Rock City and not to be selfish and always think about his own benefits.
The middle-aged cultivator was furious when he heard this. He immediately questioned the governor of Black Rock City. How could a three-year-old child have a higher social status than him? on the other hand, he had worked hard for Black Rock City for many years, only to be called ‘selfish’.
The governor of Black Rock city’s face turned gloomy after being questioned by the middle-aged cultivator. He snorted coldly and ordered the middle-aged cultivator to leave without giving any explanation.
It was also after that incident that the middle-aged cultivator was given the cold shoulder by all the influential people in Black Rock City. If not for his high cultivation level and his ability to educate his disciples, he would have been driven out of black Rock City by a scheme!
It was also after that incident that the middle-aged cultivator’s hair turned white overnight and he became depressed.
As he recalled all the injustice that had happened to him in the past, a flame seemed to burn in the depths of the middle-aged cultivator’s eyes.
Late at night, by the Pearl Lake.
Tang Zhen stood on the shore with his hands behind his back. He looked at the scale-like ripples on the lake’s surface under the reflection of the bright moon and seemed to be deep in thought.
After watching for a long while, Tang Zhen finally opened his mouth and softly said,”Are you hesitating? Do you not know if Black Rock City will be destroyed if we continue to work together?”
Xiao Rui slowly walked out from the shadows, his tone carrying a hint of hesitation, ” “You’re right, I’m indeed hesitating.”
Tang Zhen shook his head and sighed softly,”Black Rock City is already rotten to the core and the citizens have long been complaining. How long do you think this place can last?”
At this point, can’t you see that Holy Dragon City will not allow Black Rock City to continue to exist? one day, I will wipe Black Rock City from this area, right?”
Little Rui looked at Tang Zhen, who was standing with his hands behind his back. He lowered his head and was silent for a moment before he spoke,”I don’t care about the lives of the nobles in Black Rock City. I’m only concerned about the citizens.
Once Black Rock City is destroyed, what should they do? are they going to become homeless Wanderers struggling to survive in the wilderness?”
Tang Zhen coldly laughed when he heard this. He turned to look at little Rui and snorted, you’re underestimating Holy Dragon City too much. Even if there were ten times more survivors from Black Rock City, Holy Dragon City could still easily support them.
“Is that true?” Xiao Rui was delighted and asked.
“I have no need to lie to you about this matter. However, Holy Dragon City only accepts residents who are willing to join us. I will not take in any of those who still have feelings for Black Rock City.
When it’s time to make a choice, they’ll have to decide for themselves!”
As Tang Zhen was speaking, he walked in front of Xiao Rui and gently patted his shoulder. He said in an encouraging tone,”I think highly of you, so I’m giving you a chance. Compared to a place like Black Rock City, Holy Dragon City is the stage for you to fulfill your ambitions.
When you return this time, you must contact your fellow disciples and think of a way to get them to join your camp. At the same time, you have to tell them that only in Holy Dragon City will they have the rich life they want, as well as fair and sufficient cultivation resources!
Black Rock City will become history. In the future, the Overlord of this region will only be Holy Dragon City!”
Xiao Rui nodded his head, then laughed at himself and sighed, ” looking at the current situation, I don’t seem to have any reason to refuse, nor do I have any room for retreat!
Tang Zhen shook his head. you don’t have to blame yourself. Everything you did today was for the sake of the citizens of Black Rock City. After they join Holy Dragon City, they will be grateful to you from the bottom of their hearts!
Xiao Rui turned around and left. As he walked, he said in a low voice, ” “I don’t know if I’m doing the right thing, but I hope it’s as you say!”
Tang Zhen looked at little Rui’s back as he left. After which, his gaze swept to a certain corner as an inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
