Unreliable Sword Immortal.

Chapter 156 My Master is My Backer

After obtaining the Destiny Chart, Lu Chaoding left the City Lord's Mansion with satisfaction.

He lost interest in exploring Tianyun City and just wanted to hurry home to test the effects of the Destiny Chart.

A moment later, Lu Chaoding returned to the Sky Patrol Ship.

He had used up almost all the cultivation pills, but he still hadn't reached level 31.

"Out of medicine, might as well go home and farm some pills to level up. As for the Qilin Secret Realm..."

Lu Chao took out the [Nine-Scale Calamity Mirror, Part One] and turned to Peach Blossom Sword God, asking, "Elder Peach Blossom, what kind of martial arts does that demoness Yan Shangqing know? Is it really only with the help of the Nine-Scale Calamity Mirror that we can kill her? I'm incredibly powerful now, practically invincible. How could I possibly be unable to defeat her?"

The Peach Blossom Sword God said, "Yan Shangjing cultivates a special technique that allows her to create countless clones, making her extremely difficult to deal with. To kill her, we can only rely on the Nine-Scaled Calamity Mirror. The Nine-Scaled Calamity Mirror is the most precious treasure of my Qilin Cliff, and it was divided into nine parts. My eight junior brothers and I..."

Lu Chaoding quickly waved his hand to interrupt him, saying, "Stop, don't repeat yourself. It's always the same answer, it's too perfunctory."

He felt that collecting all the fragments of the Nine Qilin Tribulation Mirror was too troublesome. There were eight Qilin Secret Realms, scattered all over the country. Exploring them one by one and collecting the fragments would take an unknown amount of time.

If you have that time to do quests within the sect, you can definitely take off.

Lu Chaoding pondered to himself, "I should head back home. Collecting the fragments of the Nine-Scaled Calamity Mirror can be left to my disciples! Although exploring the secret realm will undoubtedly yield huge rewards, I can still be invincible just by relying on the lottery!"

With this in mind, Lu Chaoding steered the Sky-Patrolling Ship and began his return to the Seven Realms Mountain of Hongchen.

As for Jiang Youxian and Zhao Weike, the former has already completed the Heavenly Journey Trial and has been directly teleported back to Hongchen Seven Realms Mountain.

The latter was even practicing switching between gun and sword on the deck, showing considerable effort.

After Lu Chao left, the newly appointed city lord Li Chengzhi did not remain idle.

After watching the patrol ship depart, he entered the city lord's hall, sat on the high seat belonging to the city lord, and frowned in deep thought as he looked at the luxurious and magnificent interior decorations.

"What methods did Master use to make me the city lord? In any case, Master is my backer, and the Reliable Sword Sect is the backer of my Heavenly Fortune City..."

He muttered to himself, then searched through the documents in the main hall. As the city lord, he needed to understand the current situation of Tianyun City as soon as possible, at least to know how many subordinates, how many soldiers, how much savings, and how many properties he owned...

Li Chengzhi got very busy. He looked through a large number of files and then summoned officials such as the Grand Commandant, the Prefect, the Grand Protector, and the City Guardian to actively learn about all the information about Tianyun City.

A day later, Li Chengzhi compiled a document.

"With eleven million gold coins available, I directly control 300 acres of medicinal gardens, 10 alchemy workshops, 21 weapon-refining workshops, and 32 patrol ships. My monthly income is about ten million gold coins. However, due to the control of the Heavenly Sword Sect, I have to pay them a monthly tribute of six million gold coins and also offer two million gold coins to the court of the Great Yun Kingdom. Therefore, my vast Heavenly Yun City has a monthly surplus of less than two million gold coins! And the city's garrison consists of fifty thousand soldiers, but the Grand Commandant, Prefect, Grand Protector, and City Guardian are all incompetent and useless..."

"No, no, as the city lord, I must change the status quo. The most urgent task is to break free from the control of the Heavenly Sword Sect. I'm afraid I'll have to ask my sect for help. My master is my greatest support. Why don't I prepare some gifts and make a trip to my sect..."

Li Chengzhi muttered to himself.

If Lu Chaoding were to see him like this, he would be astonished. Li Chengzhi is no longer an ordinary NPC. He has developed independent thinking and behavioral logic, and Tianyun City will surely undergo tremendous changes under his management.

On the other side, Tianfeng City was now like a demonic realm, a forbidden area for players. More than 70% of the NPCs there had died, and those still active were all members of the Qilin Sword Sect.

The Qilin Sword Sect was founded by Yan Shangjing, a woman in gray robes. She established Tianfeng City as the sect's headquarters and the original Tianfeng City Lord's Mansion as the temporary headquarters. Jin Wuhen, the former leader of the Golden Sword Sect, Feng Baisui, the former leader of the Tianfeng Sword Sect, and many elders from both sects are now Yan Shangjing's subordinates.

At this very moment, a large sky patrol ship and ten large sea patrol ships left Tianfeng Port. At the bow of the sky patrol ship stood Yan Shangjing, dressed in a gray robe. Behind her stood Jin Wuhen and Feng Baisui, both level 60.

"I have only recently escaped my predicament and my strength has not yet recovered. But with Jiulin gone, no one in this world can stop me. Only Xiang Ruyan can somewhat contend with me. He has joined the Reliable Sword Sect. On this trip, I will lead you to destroy the Reliable Sword Sect, and also to bring Qian Yuan Island under the control of my Qilin Sword Sect!"

Yan Shangjing said in a deep voice.

Jin Wuhen was a robust man who looked to be in his forties, while Feng Baisui was an old man with white hair and beard.

The two stood behind Yan Shangqing, their postures very humble. Jin Wuhen said, "Sect Leader, that reliable sword sect is unknown and probably just a minor, insignificant sect. Destroying it wouldn't be difficult. However, as for Qianyuan Island... Sect Leader may not know, but Qianyuan Island is guarded by Qian Duoduo, the leader of the Four Eccentrics. I'm afraid we won't be able to take it down!"

"The Four Eccentrics? Qian Duoduo? No problem, let's wipe out the reliable sword sects first, then head to Qian Yuan Island. I'll deal with Qian Duoduo myself!"

Yan Shangjing waved her sleeve and said again, "If you encounter Skywalkers on the road, kill them without mercy!"

"yes!"

Jin Wuhen and Feng Baisui responded in unison.

Meanwhile, Lu Chaoding had already returned to Hongchen Seven Realms Mountain.

He parked the Heavenly-class Sky-Patrol Ship at the top of Hongchen Seven Realms Mountain. As soon as he got off the ship, he saw Dugu Tian rushing over and shouting from a distance, "Brother Ding, you're finally back! Oh no! Oh no! We've been bullied terribly!"

"What's wrong? Why are you in such a panic?"

"Our patrol ships are all destroyed, and my small gold mine dock is gone too. The losses are huge, and we can no longer trade with Tianfeng City! Moreover, it seems that the world boss is going to attack our Hongchen Seven Realms Mountain."

Lu Chaoding was not surprised to hear this. On his way back, he browsed the forum and learned about what had happened in Tianfeng City.

"So what if we can't do trade? What's the big deal? Let the world bosses come and attack us if they want. What's there to be afraid of? Don't panic. Come on, click here to buy the Immunity Token and the Dragon Sword, and give me a five-star review!" Lu Chao waved his hand dismissively.

Upon hearing this, Dugu Tian's eyes lit up. He quickly bought a get-out-of-jail-free card, a Dragon-Slaying Sword, and a bottle of chilled watermelon juice. As he sipped the juice, he said, "There's one more thing. There are two NPCs wearing shorts down the mountain who are crying and begging to join the sect. Why don't you go and take a look?"

"An NPC wearing baggy shorts?"

"These are the two original giants of Tianfeng City, Chu Wudi and Chu Shishui. They didn't pledge allegiance to the World Boss and instead came here to join you!"

"Those two..." Lu Chao narrowed his eyes, "actually came to me of their own accord, they're not stupid!"
