Chapter 1564 - 1539: Guo Jianglong Is Angry

When more than sixty City Lords heard that Yang Xiao wanted to unite all cities and establish a nation, they were all astonished.

After all, this involved everyone's vital interests.

As everyone listened to Yang Xiao's grand blueprint, each was shaken by Yang Xiao's ideals.

Elder Qi was even more excited. In Elder Qi's view, Yang Xiao taking over the territory of Ba Tianhu, uniting more than sixty cities, and establishing a nation greatly increased his power.

If this momentum continues, Yang Xiao's dominance over the entire Central Continent is just around the corner.

Once Yang Xiao unifies all of Central Continent and possesses great power, he can enter the ruling phase of the Dwarf Star, joining the power camp of Thanos Saint.

Witch Star is currently under attack from the Dwarf Stars. If Yang Xiao wants to organize against their invasion, he must possess great strength and also enter the power camp of Thanos Saint to have a chance to influence their invasion.

Elder Qi stood up and loudly said:

"Good, boss, if we unite more than sixty cities and establish a powerful army, we can survive in unity. We no longer need to worry if, by the next morning, enemy troops will surround our large cities and slaughter our brothers and relatives. I am the first to support this."

Black Wood laughed:

"Elder Qi, how can you be the first to support? We already agreed to the boss's proposal before you arrived."

Flying Tiger chuckled and said:

"The boss is wise and powerful. I knew whatever he said was correct. I just follow the boss."

Fan Chen laughed:

"Black Wood, don't be so obvious with the flattery, haha..."

Everyone laughed, the atmosphere was relaxed and lively. Most of Yang Xiao's trusted aides loudly supported merging to establish a unified nation. Though some City Lords were not very willing in their hearts, it wasn't up to them to oppose.

Their families were monitored in Sky Tiger City, and now, with Yang Xiao's team rich in talent, he wouldn't miss a few City Lords. If they were unwilling, Yang Xiao could immediately replace them with others.

Unifying to establish a nation was a prevailing trend, which everyone desired.

Finally, everyone voted and raised their hands in favor.

"Good, now that we've reached a consensus, I announce that in six days, a city-wide assembly will be held in Sky Tiger City, formally announcing the establishment of a new nation,

Before that, we have one more task. We need to send invitation letters to all City Lords and power groups in Central Continent, inviting everyone to witness the establishment of our new nation."

Ao Litai asked:

"Should Guo Jianglong and the Pangolin be invited too?"

"Of course, they are the key figures."

"I doubt they will come."

"I know they won't come, but we still need to send someone to deliver the invitations. Whether they attend is up to them, but invitation is up to us. I just want to let them know that I'm establishing a nation, so everyone can be mentally prepared."

The sixty-plus City Lords became temporary messengers, dispatched to deliver invitations everywhere because they were all of Emperor Level Realm cultivation, able to fly swiftly and reach even the farthest places in Central Continent within half a day.

Elder Qi was sent to Tongtian City in the west of Central Continent to present an invitation to Guo Jianglong.

Black Wood was dispatched to the east to Golden Armor City to present an invitation to the Pangolin.

Elder Qi arrived at Tongtian City and went directly to the gate of the City Lord Mansion.

"Please inform Guo Jianglong, I am an envoy sent by Yang Xiao, the City Lord of Sky Tiger City, here on important business."

The matter of Yang Xiao killing Ba Tianhu and seizing Sky Tiger City and its subordinate territories had already spread throughout Central Continent, and the people of Tongtian City were well aware of it.

The two guards who heard this were startled and dared not neglect their duties, saying:

"Please wait, I will report inside."

A moment later, the guard came out.

"Our lord, Guo Jianglong, invites you inside."

Elder Qi followed the guard into the City Lord Mansion and met the illustrious Guo Jianglong in the hall.

Guo Jianglong had a tall stature, fair skin like jade, and an extraordinary demeanor.

"I am Qi Lian, a subordinate of Yang Xiao, the City Lord of Sky Tiger City, and I have come under Lord Yang's orders to pay respects to City Lord Guo Jianglong."

Guo Jianglong gave a faint smile,

"Sit down, tea!"

Elder Qi sat in the guest seat in the hall, and a maid quickly served tea.

Guo Jianglong looked at Elder Qi and said:

"Yang Xiao killed Ba Tianhu and seized Sky Tiger City and its thirty-two subordinate cities. What power and ambition! Indeed, a young man to be reckoned with!"

Elder Qi responded immediately:

"The City Lord is correct. Our Lord Yang is indeed talented, with an outstanding gift and genes, but what's most rare is his kind heart and benevolent nature. Having his leadership is our fortune for three lifetimes."

"Haha, Yang Xiao first slew the 150,000 troops of the alliance of twenty-six cities, and later the 100,000 troops of Ba Tianhu. Yet you claim he is kind-hearted — is this not a joke?"

Elder Qi replied calmly and with dignity:

"Kindness depends on the person; being kind to one's own brothers and ruthless to enemies is not contradictory. Our Lord Yang fights desperately to protect his subordinates, and we all support him."

Guo Jianglong naturally understood but was still displeased. After all, such a young Yang Xiao killed Ba Tianhu and seized over thirty cities. Counting the strength of the twenty-six city alliance, Yang Xiao's current power exceeded Guo Jianglong's.

Guo Jianglong coldly said:

"I have had no dealings with Yang Xiao. Why has he sent you to me?"

Elder Qi stood up, clasped his fists with both hands, and handed a Jade Token to Guo Jianglong.

"Lord Yang Xiao plans to unite more than sixty cities in six days to establish a new nation and especially invites City Lord Guo Jianglong as a guest to witness,

The Jade Token contains a personal video invitation from our Lord Yang Xiao."

Guo Jianglong was shocked upon hearing this.

"What, Yang Xiao wants to establish a nation?"

"Yes."

"Hmph, he is digging his own grave."

"Why does City Lord Guo Jianglong say that?"

"How long have you been in Central Continent?"

"Over a hundred years."

"You've been in Central Continent for over a hundred years and still do not understand its rules?"

"What rules?"

"Central Continent has always been a place abandoned by the Dwarf Star, a place where all tribes exiled criminals. Even now, it remains so, and Yang Xiao wants to establish a nation here. Do you think the powerful tribes of Dwarf Star Continent would agree?"

"Every tribe on Dwarf Star Continent is a nation; if they can establish a nation, why can't we?"

Guo Jianglong gave Elder Qi a cold glance,

"I won't debate with you or bother. If Yang Xiao wants to show off, it's not my concern. Just tell him not to get too cocky too soon."

"If City Lord Guo Jianglong has any advice, he can personally tell our Lord Yang. Our Lord Yang eagerly anticipates your arrival."

"Haha, Yang Xiao really thinks I'm a fool? If I attend his nation-building ceremony and he kills me while I'm there, what then?"

"Our Lord Yang is not that kind of person."

"I know well what kind of person he is. Your message has been delivered; you may leave."

This outcome was within the expectations of Yang Xiao and Elder Qi, so Elder Qi was not surprised.

Elder Qi rose,

"Farewell!"

After Elder Qi left the City Lord Mansion, the more Guo Jianglong thought about it, the angrier he became, and he smashed the teacup beside him into the ground.

"It's infuriating! That brat sent someone here to provoke and warn me, dreaming of ruling all of Central Continent — dream on!"

Guo Jianglong hesitated for a moment, then shouted:

"Someone come!"

Two guards quickly entered from outside, bowing:

"What are your orders, sir?"

"Go to Golden Armor City to find Pangolin and tell him I have matters to consult and he must come to Tongtian City."
