The highest level of cultivation among them was the grand elders. They were all at the sun rank. Even the other ordinary elders were around the sky rank. With the elite disciples from the sects, it could be said that this team was very powerful.

An extraordinary aura enveloped Changping, and it was immediately noticed by the guards on the city wall.

Yi Chengrui opened the city gate and quickly came out to welcome them. “My… my important guests. I’m sorry for not coming out to welcome you. I’m sorry for not being respectful…”

His face was pale, and he couldn’t finish his sentence. He was out of breath, and he let out an earth-shattering cough when he finally finished talking.

In such a weak and sickly state, even an ordinary person was many times stronger than him.

The elder from the Misty Illusory Manor frowned and sized him up. “Are you the City Lord of Changping?”

Yi Chengrui nodded weakly.

The people from Jingdu frowned even deeper, and their words showed their dissatisfaction with Yi Chengrui. “Why is the strength of the City Lord of Changping so weak? No wonder he’s being suppressed by those demonic beasts.”

In other words, he despised Yi Chengrui for being too weak.

Yi Chengrui’s eyes flickered. He coughed a few times and revealed a bitter smile. “You guys don’t know this, but when the demonic beasts attacked the city last time, I was injured to save others. My injuries are so serious that I haven’t recovered yet.”

“So that’s the case.” Everyone looked enlightened, and their expressions became much better. “Then you should have a good rest. This time, we’re here to help you deal with the demonic beasts.”

When the people of the Dao Seeking Sect said this, they didn’t forget to carefully look at Yi Chengrui’s expression. They heard from the disciples that he had a close relationship with Ye Xuan.

They had just arrived, so they didn’t know what Changping people’s attitude was for the time being. If Yi Chengrui had a good relationship with Ye Xuan, it meant that he supported his view, and these people didn’t mind changing Changping’s City Lord.

After all, the people who opposed them and were close to Ye Xuan were really unpleasant.

Yi Chengrui also knew these people’s plans. He suddenly said indignantly, “That’s great! We were worried that we couldn’t get back the land and spirit mines that we lost and that the higher-ups would blame us. It looks like I was thinking too much. I know that the people in Jingdu wouldn’t just sit by and do nothing.”

Although he didn’t seem to be fake and what he said was the truth, they didn’t let down their guard. They didn’t completely believe him and continued to probe.

“Do you mean you’re not satisfied with the content of the treaty?”

Yi Chengrui smiled bitterly. “So what if I’m not satisfied? the treaty has already been agreed on. There’s no way to salvage it. Besides, I don’t want to become a sinner of Changping.”

“If that’s the case, why did you let Ye Xuan sign the treaty?”

Yi Chengrui spread his hands helplessly. “What can I do? He went out with Shen Changling back then and signed the treaty. How can I refuse and let those demonic beasts come back to flatten Changping?”

What he said seemed to make sense. After all, Yi Chengrui couldn’t do anything in such a situation. After figuring out Yi Chengrui’s attitude, the people from the Misty Illusory Manor relaxed and put on a righteous look.

“Don’t worry. We’ve come here to set things right. How can our human race agree to such a treaty? It’s simply delusional for mere demonic beasts to think that they can be on top of us.”

These people didn’t intend to ask Yi Chengrui to accuse Ye Xuan that he colluded with demonic beasts. Just a few words wouldn’t be able to prove anything.

Listening to their remarks, Yi Chengrui nodded in agreement. During this period, he also heard a lot of bad things about Ye Xuan.

He stood at the side with his head lowered, and those people did not see the mockery and indifference in his eyes.

The people in Jingdu were high and mighty, and they were thousands of miles away. How could they understand the difficulties in Changping and the actual situation? What right did they have to say such things?

“Those spirit mines should all belong to us. But now, many of them have fallen into the hands of demonic beasts. This is ridiculous.”

Yi Chengrui didn’t agree with this statement, but he didn’t show it on his face. He felt that Ye Xuan was right and he should wait for the opportunity. After all, it wouldn’t do him any good to fight these people head-on.

It wasn’t that he didn’t think of a way to persuade them. But if he could, Ye Xuan would have succeeded in Jingdu long ago, and these people wouldn’t have come here.

Blinded by greed and insatiable greed, these people simply didn’t make sense.

Yi Chengrui’s expression gradually turned cold. After denouncing Ye Xuan, they finally remembered the important matter.

“We have decided to re-draft the treaty with the demonic beasts. If they agree, then so be it. But if they don’t, we are not to be trifled with. Quickly gather the people in the city and come with us.”

“Don’t worry. We’re here this time. You don’t have to be afraid.”

Who knew if they would be treated as cannon fodder by then? Only a fool would do such a thing. Fortunately, Yi Chengrui was prepared.

Seeing that he didn’t speak for a long time, the voices of the people from the Misty Illusory Manor turned cold. “Why? Are you not willing? We’ve come all the way here to help you, but can’t you provide us little manpower?”

“No, no, no. I didn’t mean that.”

Yi Chengrui showed a complex expression and explained, “As you can see, Changping has just met with a disaster. Even I was injured, not to mention the others. It’s fine if they can’t help, but I’m afraid they’ll drag everyone down.

Yi Chengrui was in fear and trepidation. A thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he hurriedly wanted to explain.
