568: Chapter 568 Immortal Alliance?

At this moment, Fang Hanyu, who was about to step into the City Lord's Estate, paused slightly!

The corner of his mouth quirked up slightly: "Drunken Immortal Tower?"

Fang Hanyu's voice wasn't loud; it was even somewhat soft.

But as those three words fell into the silent porch, they still caused Xiao Ruobai, who was walking at the very front, to stop in his tracks.

He turned his head and glanced at Fang Hanyu.

A very faint look of inquiry flashed across his brow; there were no extra words, yet it was enough for the others to understand instantly.

Ling Xi also stopped walking. She raised her eyes, following Fang Hanyu's gaze toward the west of the city.

She spoke softly: "Lian Ying?"

Fang Hanyu withdrew his gaze: "Just now at the Treasure Pavilion, when that Lian Ying left, I attached a wisp of Sword Intent to her."

Then, with a thought, Fang Hanyu transmitted the information he had detected through the Sword Intent into the minds of the others!

Inside the Drunken Immortal Tower, Liu Tingfeng was pacing back and forth.

"No, I must send word to the Immortal Alliance and request that they absolutely dispatch an Immortal Lord to ensure nothing goes wrong."

Liu Tingfeng lowered his eyes, looking at the jade talisman in his palm.

It wasn't that he didn't hesitate; an Immortal Lord of the Immortal Alliance was not someone he could mobilize at will.

He knew very well what sending this command talisman out meant... The information transmitted by Fang Hanyu's Sword Intent was like a pebble thrown into still water, stirring up ripples in everyone's hearts.

"Immortal Alliance?"

Xiao Ruobai's brow furrowed slightly as he repeated those two words in a low voice, a sharp look of inquiry flashing in his eyes.

"Could it be the Hundred Immortals Alliance?"

As soon as those three words were spoken, the ethereal aura around Ling Xi suddenly solidified, and a cold light flashed in the depths of her indifferent eyes.

The ease on Wang Xiaopang's face also vanished instantly. He scratched his head and said in a grave tone:

"If it's the Hundred Immortals Alliance, then it'll be trouble. We've just taken Sunset City and our Foundation isn't stable yet. If they really send an Immortal Lord over, I'm afraid it won't be easy to handle."

Fang Hanyu withdrew his gaze, his fingertips gently stroking the hilt of his sword: "Regardless of whether it's the Hundred Immortals Alliance, an alliance that can mobilize an Immortal Lord is definitely not a group to be trifled with."

The group fell into silence for a moment, and the air in front of the vermillion gates of the City Lord's Estate seemed to grow heavy.

The Hundred Immortals Alliance was a colossus that ruled over a hundred Immortal Domain fragments, with an Immortal King giant as its Alliance Leader. It was far beyond what the four major powers of the Chengyun Immortal Domain could compare to.

If they truly intervened, let alone stabilizing Sunset City, it was uncertain if they could even retreat in one piece.

"This Drunken Immortal Tower's Revered Master actually has some brains."

Wang Xiaopang's brow quirked, "Should we head over to the Drunken Immortal Tower right now?"

Ling Xi shook her head gently, a trace of coldness flashing in her eyes:

"No need. It will take time for the Immortal Lord to arrive after Liu Tingfeng contacts the Immortal Alliance. We still have a window of time."

Her voice was cool and indifferent.

"We will first take up residence in the City Lord's Estate, then deal with the various factions in three days, as well as the retaliation from the Chiyang Sect's side."

Xiao Ruobai suddenly grinned. Thinking of his Revered Master's words before they left, he laughed: "They can call for reinforcements, and so can we."

When the time comes, let's see whose backing is stronger!"

Hearing this, everyone's slightly heavy mood instantly lightened significantly!

"That's right, let's screw 'em!" Wang Xiaopang was eager to try!

The group then stepped together through the dilapidated yet still majestic vermillion gates of the City Lord's Estate.

The vermillion gates slowly closed, cutting off the noise and prying eyes of the outside world, yet also unveiling a new chapter for Sunset City.

The moment they stepped into the City Lord's Estate, they clearly felt the desolation and disorder within the residence.

In the courtyard, fallen leaves covered the ground, and several traces of fighting remained on the bluestone path.

The two sides of the estate gates, which should have been heavily guarded, were empty. Even the servants and managers who used to bustle about were more than half gone.

Clearly, the news of Crimson Burning Heaven's death had already spread into the City Lord's Estate, throwing the people inside into a panic.

The group walked slowly along the bluestone path, passing through the front courtyard and into the middle courtyard. Along the way, they saw even more widespread anxiety.

The core Disciples and personal bodyguards belonging to the Chiyang Sect, as well as the managers and strategists who had long been dependent on Crimson Burning Heaven...

Had already packed their bags and fled without a trace, leaving not even a shadow behind.

They were clearly afraid of being liquidated by them, or afraid that the Chiyang Sect would vent its anger on them in the future, so they had abandoned the estate and fled early.

But not everyone chose to flee.

On the open ground of the middle courtyard, twenty or thirty people were still standing.

Their faces were pale and their expressions panicked; some had their hands clenched tightly, others were at a loss, yet they still stood in place without leaving.

Their eyes were full of confusion and apprehension. They were clearly hesitating whether to flee this place of trouble or stay and gamble on an unknown future.

Xiao Ruobai stopped walking, his gaze slowly sweeping across these twenty or thirty people. Seeing their panicked yet forced calm, his tone softened slightly.

His voice clearly reached everyone's ears: "Crimson Burning Heaven is dead, and the Chiyang Sect's core followers have already fled. From today onwards, this City Lord's Estate belongs to us."

"I know that among you, some are afraid of the Chiyang Sect's retaliation and worry that staying will bring trouble upon yourselves. This is understandable."

"Today, I give you a choice. Anyone who is afraid of the Chiyang Sect's retaliation and wants to leave can go now."

"I will absolutely not stop you, nor will I hold anything from your past against you."

As his voice fell, a commotion immediately broke out among the crowd. A trace of wavering flashed in many people's eyes, and their expressions became increasingly hesitant.

Someone couldn't help but whisper in discussion, their tone full of fear and struggle: "

The Chiyang Sect's power is vast; they will definitely come for revenge. If we stay, I'm afraid we'll be dragged down..."

"But if we leave, we have nowhere to go. Where else could we go?"

Xiao Ruobai did not interrupt their discussion, but simply stood in place quietly, waiting for their choice.

Ling Xi and the others stood behind Xiao Ruobai, their expressions calm, their bodies emitting a faint pressure that invisibly gave these people a bit of confidence.

A moment later, seven or eight people walked out from the crowd. Their faces were deathly pale as they bowed deeply to Xiao Ruobai:

"Thank you for your mercy, My Lord. We have decided to leave. If there is an Opportunity in the future, we will surely repay your kindness."

Xiao Ruobai nodded slightly. Seeing this, the seven or eight people hurriedly turned and fled out of the City Lord's Estate in a panic, fearing that if they were a step too late, they would be swept into this conflict.

Watching their departing backs, the hesitation in the eyes of the remaining dozen or so people gradually faded, replaced by firmness and determination.

One of them, a white-haired old manager, took a step forward and knelt deeply before Xiao Ruobai and the others, his tone firm:

"My Lord, we are not leaving! We are willing to stay and follow you to manage the City Lord's Estate."

"Even if the Chiyang Sect comes for revenge in the future, we will never back down!"

The other dozen or so people also reacted, kneeling down one after another toward Xiao Ruobai and the others, saying in unison: "We are willing to stay and follow My Lord!"

Among them, many had been oppressed by Crimson Burning Heaven for many years, and their hearts were already filled with resentment.

Now that Ling Xi and the others had slain Crimson Burning Heaven, it was undoubtedly giving them a way to live and a sense of hope.

Moreover, Ling Xi was able to frontally slay the Earth Immortal powerhouse Crimson Burning Heaven as a True Immortal. This strength was enough to convince them.

Following such a powerful person might not be a disaster; instead, it might be an Opportunity.

Ling Xi watched this scene without a ripple in the depths of her eyes, only speaking softly:

"Get up first. Manage the City Lord's Estate well, clean up the remaining traces, and guard the gates. No one is allowed to enter at will."

"Yes!"

Everyone responded in unison, stood up, and dispersed in an orderly fashion to begin their work.

The originally desolate and messy City Lord's Estate gradually gained a hint of vitality.
