Ruli gritted his teeth with hatred, but he had no choice but to leave the Tianyinlou branch.
There is no point in saying any cruel words here, and it is even more impossible to make a move. He is not even in the realm of Immortal Lord. If he dares to make a move here, it will only leave an excuse for the other party. Therefore, the only thing Ruli can do is to return immediately.
Hongmeng City reported this matter to City Lord Jingyan face to face.
In the upper room of the Tianyin Building branch.
"Then Ruli left?" Wu Ling curled his lips with disdain in his eyes.
"Hey, what can we do if he doesn't leave? Sir, I think the city lord of Hongmeng City will come over in person soon." The steward who had just seen Ruli stood in front of Wuling's host and said with a charming smile.
"Humph, they asked for it! They will certainly have to pay the price for humiliating me!" Wu Ling's host said with a sneer.
"Sir, there are many people outside talking about the fact that Hongmeng City has not been included in the city list. Hongmeng City has not been included in the Tianyin city list, which has a huge impact on this city." The steward said.
"It's something that was expected. Even if the adventurers don't talk about it, the various forces will guide them. Will those forces be willing to allow Hongmeng City to grow rapidly? Of course they will not give up any opportunity to attack Hongmeng City." Wu Ling, the host of the building, said.
He looks confident.
"I'm afraid Jing Yan is in a hurry," the steward said again.
"Whether he is in a hurry or not, what does it have to do with us? In Hongmeng City, the Hongmeng Alchemy Tower is pretty good. What else can he do? Besides, there is only one Alchemy Tower in the city." The owner of Wuling Tower said contemptuously.
.
…
"Hongmeng City failed to make it onto the Tianyin City List?"
"How could it be? Today's Hongmeng City is already very powerful! The permanent population has exceeded one million. If you include the floating population, it is probably as high as three million."
"Hongmeng Danlou is said to sell billions of black crystal stones every day, as well as high-grade elixir nine-star Yuanling Dan. How many points does it cost just for Hongmeng Danlou?"
"Isn't it possible that such a city doesn't even make it onto the Tianyin one-star city list?"
"It is indeed surprising, but... now it seems that Hongmeng City is definitely not on the Tianyin City List. Otherwise, Hongmeng City should have appeared on the Tianyin City List."
"..."
In Hongmeng City, the monks were talking a lot, and many people were surprised.
And in this discussion, some disparaging voices are getting stronger and stronger.
"Hongmeng City was built only more than thirty years ago. Want to be on the Tianyin City List? It's far from it!"
"If you don't have Hongmeng Dan Tower, you can still use it. What else is there in Hongmeng City?"
“With such strength, it’s just a dream to be on the Tianyin City List!”
"Haha, this is really hilarious. City Lord Jing Yan is not an ordinary person, how come he doesn't even have any self-awareness? He doesn't know what his own city is like, and he asked the branch owner of Tianyin Tower to come and inspect it. He is really asking for it.
disgrace!"
If it's not urgent, there will be a lot of discussion in Hongmeng City.
In Tianji City, Xuanming City and Linfeng City, which are closer to Hongmeng City, there are also loud discussions.
There are even monks talking about it in cities thousands of miles away. This situation seems to be spreading throughout the entire minefield.
In recent decades, Hongmeng City has become very popular. Indeed, too many people and forces are paying attention to this new city.
Under the deliberate guidance of those big forces, a voice became louder and louder.
"Hongmeng City is just an inferior city!"
Hongmeng City is out of the ordinary!
This sound is extremely penetrating.
The credibility of Tianyin Tower is so strong that in Kun Lingtian, there is almost no cultivator who does not recognize the list compiled by Tianyin Tower. A city that is not as good as Tianyin Tower in the city list will not be ranked in the top rankings. This is a generally accepted rule.
Now, Hongmeng City is an unpopular city, but it seems to be recognized by more and more ascetics and adventurers.
The heated discussion swept across and spread!
…
After another two days, Ru Li returned to Hongmeng City and met the city lord Jing Yan.
"So, Wu Ling thinks we gave him too little black crystal stone." Jing Yan's eyes flashed coldly.
"Yes, judging from their attitude, they don't like 50 million black crystal stones at all. I estimate that even 500 million black crystal stones may not be able to satisfy their appetite. The bastard also said that he wants the city lord to go there in person.
." Ru Li gritted his teeth and said.
Before Ruli came back, Jing Yan also heard the rumors outside.
But now after listening to Ruli's report, he determined where the problem lies.
"Okay, very good! This branch owner of Tianyin Tower has a really big appetite." Jing Yan said with a chill in his voice.
"Lord City Lord, this Wu Ling has gone too far!" Ru Li said.
"Lord City Lord, if we allow those outside to criticize us like this, it will have a huge impact on the reputation of our Hongmeng City. It is true that our Hongmeng City is closest to the Secret Land of Chisheng, but it is not an irreplaceable city. There are several big cities nearby.
Cities, and even cities further afield, are resting places that adventurers can choose." Chief Manager Bai Han also frowned and said.
Jing Yan's expression was gloomy and he was silent.
"Lord City Lord, do you want to send a message directly to the Tianyin Tower headquarters?" Ru Li asked again.
Jing Yan shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it will be useless to send a message to the Tianyin Tower headquarters. Our current problem may seem to be caused by Wu Ling, but in fact it is still the city's lack of strength. If our Hongmeng City's conditions are strong enough
, then Wu Ling dares to do this?"
Bai Han and Ruli stopped talking.
What City Lord Jing Yan said was the truth! Wu Ling dared to interfere, but he was just taking a sidestep.
If Hongmeng City was really powerful to a certain extent, then Wu Ling would never dare to make such small moves.
However, just because Jing Yan said this does not mean that he has no anger or hatred towards Wu Ling. However, with the current situation in Hongmeng City, even if the message can be sent to the Tianyin Tower headquarters, it is unlikely that the Tianyin Tower headquarters will have much reaction.
, it is even less possible to punish Wu Ling, the general manager of the Leiyu branch.
"Lord City Lord, what should we do now? With the discussion of this matter in the past few days, our Hongmeng City has lost a lot of adventurers. There are also some damn bastards who say that our Hongmeng City is not a decent city. These bastards
, 80% of them are the scoundrels of those big forces, deliberately smearing our Hongmeng City." Chief Bai Han said angrily.
"Of course... we can't let this matter develop!" Jing Yan pursed his lips and narrowed his eyes.
"That Wu Ling will regret it! However, we in Hongmeng City don't need to do it ourselves." Jing Yan's voice deepened.
With a thought, he sent a message to Wu Xia in the Hongmeng Dan Tower. Soon, Wu Xia arrived at the City Lord's Mansion.
"City Lord, are you looking for me?" Wuxia said in front of Jing Yan.
In front of outsiders, Wu Xia would also call Jing Yan City Lord, but in private, she would just call Jing Yan by his first name.
