Chapter 771 Please send troops for the sake of the people of the world
Bo Yugu's face was somewhat gloomy. As the head of the ancestral court's delegation, he had been in Ziyang City for three or four days.

Zi Donglai simply had others receive him and his delegation, and they haven't met with them yet.

Not only was Bo Yugu complaining, but several other envoys in the delegation were also full of grievances.

"Zi Donglai thinks too highly of himself," Zhang Minglun said coldly, clearly displeased.

"Circumstances are beyond our control. They've defeated Tianxu Palace and become a regional overlord. Why would they care about our ancestral court?" Yu Anzhi said sarcastically.

"What kind of overlord is he? He's just a mere sixth-sense child. Does he dare to return to the Divine Continent? Does he dare to go to the grotto-heavens? Without entering the grotto-heavens, he's ultimately just an ordinary cultivator," Zhang Minglun said disdainfully.

"Alright, that's enough. Be careful, the walls may have ears." Fu Yugu scolded, "We've come here with a purpose, and we must complete our mission no matter what. Endure a moment of anger, and you'll have a brighter future."

Yu Anzhi and the other man didn't say anything more. Fu Tiangu was the head of the delegation, so naturally he had the final say.

Besides, they were just venting; if someone overheard them and things went wrong, they wouldn't be able to bear the responsibility.

"Commander, Lord Zicheng summons you." The guards brought by the delegation ran over from outside the courtyard, knocked on the door, and came in, reporting with great joy.

Bo Yugu and the other two quickly straightened their clothes, went out of the courtyard, and saw officials from Ziyang City waiting outside with their troops. After exchanging a few pleasantries, they went with them to the Ziyang Imperial Palace.

After entering the imperial palace, the three of them were so impressed by its grandeur that they all thought to themselves, "This is even more magnificent than the ancestral court. Zi Donglai really knows how to enjoy life."

Upon entering the main hall and seeing the man seated high on the throne, Bo Tiangu and the other two quickly bowed and said, "Bo Yugu, Zhang Minglun, and Yu Anzhi, the envoys of the Ancestral Court, greet Lord Zicheng."

"What brings you gentlemen here?" Chen Guan asked, looking down at the three men from his throne, showing no intention of standing up.

This doesn't seem like receiving an official delegation; it's more like meeting one's own subjects.

Although the three of them felt a little awkward, they dared not be negligent or show any dissatisfaction when they actually met Zi Donglai.

"Lord Zicheng is now a powerful ruler, the de facto controller of the Linhai Plain and the Fulong Mountains. The Grand Judge greatly admires your abilities and courage, and has specially sent us with the letter of appointment and land deeds to complete the formalities for you. From now on, the Linhai Plain and the area near the Fulong Mountains will officially belong to your name, and will be recognized and protected by the laws of the Ancestral Court," Bo Yugu said in a friendly tone.

"That's a good thing, but I can't accept something for nothing. I haven't done anything for the ancestral court, so it's not appropriate for me to take these benefits," Chen Guan said expressionlessly, but inwardly he was sneering.

"The Chief Judge greatly admires you, but due to obstruction, he has been unable to bestow more rewards upon you, City Lord. Originally, the Chief Judge's intention was to include the areas on both sides of the Fulong Mountains within your fiefdom, but several families have blocked this. As you know, the Chief Judge is in a difficult position; he cannot stand alone against those powerful families..."

"It's true that being a judge is not easy, but what does that have to do with me?" Chen Guan said with a sneer.

"Lord Zicheng, have you heard about the Southern Heaven Kingdom?" Boyugu asked cautiously.

"I heard it was Chen Guan, who originally came from the Heavenly Court Army, who had some conflicts with the Heavenly Court Army." Chen Guan pretended not to care.

"Chen Guan was originally Commander Ji's future son-in-law, but unexpectedly he betrayed his promise and colluded with those aristocratic families, trying to drive the Heavenly Court Army out of Tianzhu Cave Heaven..."

Bo Yugu became increasingly agitated as he spoke: "All the powerful families in the world are parasites on society, sucking the blood of ordinary people. They are only a small number of people, yet they occupy more than 90% of the resources of Shenzhou and the Secret Realm. If these powerful families are not eliminated, there will never be true fairness and justice in Shenzhou..."

"For so many years, the Chief Judge and Commander Ji have been trying to break the monopoly of the powerful families and give ordinary people a chance, but they have been blocked at every turn." "Now those powerful families are going even further, joining forces to try to destroy law enforcement agencies like the Heavenly Court Army. Once the Ancestral Court loses its law enforcement capabilities, it will be completely useless, and all resources will probably be completely monopolized by the powerful families. At that time, not only resources, but ordinary people will probably even have their lives controlled by the powerful families."

“We and your descendants will be slaves or even playthings of aristocratic families for generations to come. This is a world that the judge and we would rather die than see.”

"Alas, our strength is limited. The Heavenly Court army has been driven to the brink of collapse by those aristocratic families. We beg the City Lord to save the ancestral court, save the Heavenly Court army, and save the common people of the world..."

As Bo Yugu spoke, tears welled up in his eyes: "Now, in this world, only you, the city lord, can save it."

"Am I really that important?" Chen Guan asked Bo Yugu.

"It's not just important. The rise and fall of the world and the life and death of the people are all in your hands, City Lord. Please, City Lord, for the sake of the people, send troops to Tianzhu Cave Heaven to help the Heavenly Court Army defeat the allied forces of the aristocratic families and kill that treacherous, shameless, and morally bankrupt traitor Chen Guan..." Bo Yugu's patriotic heart was overflowing in his words.

"Please, Lord City Lord, send troops to punish the traitors for the sake of all the people..." Yu Anzhi and Zhang Minglun bowed deeply and pleaded in unison.

A slight smile appeared on Chen Guan's lips. If he weren't the traitor Bo Yugu and the other two had described, he would have been genuinely moved by them.

Just as he had guessed, these people actually came to find Zi Dong to deal with Chen Guan.

Chen Guan had spent a long time guessing, but he still couldn't figure out what the higher-ups of the Ancestral Court were planning to do; that was because he had forgotten about himself.

"Fine, fine, you actually came to me to kill me, you guys are really something." Chen Guan sneered inwardly, but his face remained expressionless.

"This world belongs to all people. Since the judge and everyone here have this intention, I will certainly do my best to help them."

Bo Yugu and the other two were delighted by Chen Guan's words, but then they heard Chen Guan continue, "But as you all know, I have a great feud with the Gong family. I am naturally not afraid of them while I am in the cave, but once I leave the cave, the Gong family has so many experts in the great caves that I am not up to their level. I am afraid I will not be able to go to the Heavenly Pillar Cave."

"The judge has long been prepared for this. As long as you, the city lord, are willing to help the Heavenly Court army kill the traitors, we will open the road to Tianzhu Cave for you," Boyugu said confidently.

"Oh, I wonder where this road is?" Chen Guan asked, feigning surprise.

“The road is right here,” Bo Yugu said, taking something out of his pocket.

It was an antique bronze key; I didn't know what it was for.

Seeing Chen Guan looking at him, Bo Yugu explained, "This is the key to the Anywhere Door, a treasure of the Mysterious Gods. The Anywhere Door consists of three Mysterious Gods treasures: two doors and one key. Place the two Anywhere Doors in two different locations, and then use this key to open either door. You can then pass directly through the door to the other door... However, this treasure can only be used within the Cave Heaven; the doors cannot be placed in different levels of secret realms..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Guan burst into laughter: "With this treasure, wouldn't we be able to come and go as we please within the secret realm?"

“Indeed, with this Anywhere Door, City Lord, you can send down divine soldiers to kill the traitor Chen Guan and utterly defeat the ten-clan coalition.” Bo Yugu and the other two also laughed.

"Good, good, good! With such a treasure, our great undertaking is accomplished!" Chen Guan said "good" three times in a row, his smile growing even wider. How could he not be happy with such a secret treasure delivered to his doorstep?

Laughter and cheerful voices filled the imperial palace, and all the guests were relaxed and beaming.
