Chapter 306: Selfishness
“His 19th victory. This guy is actually so powerful?”
“Not only that, but his qi and spiritual power don’t seem to be exhausted at all. He’s always at his peak. This guy is definitely not simple!”
“In my opinion, father should just take him in!”
“That won’t happen. Have you forgotten? Father said that he won’t recruit anyone in the top 10 this time. Instead, he’ll let us rely on our own abilities. I’m afraid that father’s body…”
At this point, the children of the city lord of White Dragon City had solemn expressions.
In the early years, White Dragon City was not as developed as it was today. It was just a small border city that was not worth mentioning.
At that time, the current city lord of White Dragon City, Wei Heng, was only a small foundation establishment realm cultivator.
At that time, it was the cultivators of his plains who came here. Without exception, all of them had to pa.s.s through White Dragon City before they could head toward the depths of the Central Plains.
Wei Heng, who was only 15 years old, saw an opportunity.
Unfortunately, his strength was weak, and even if he wanted to, he did not have the capability!
However, when he was 19, he received an expert’s inheritance, and his strength skyrocketed. Now, he was already at the peak of the nascent soul realm!
Since then, Wei Heng had relied on his own strength to forcefully take down White Dragon City, forcing the Central Plains Sect Alliance to acknowledge his status!
Of course, in order to maintain his position, Wei Heng chose an easier way to form an alliance.
White Dragon City was surrounded by three powerful sects, Thunder Cliff, Ao Lai Sect, and Qingcheng Sect. In order to stabilize the situation, Wei Heng chose to form an alliance with these three sects, which was the so-called marriage alliance.
At that time, the 40-year-old Wei Heng married three beautiful wives, and later, he married Wei Baishou’s mother. Only then did he secure his position.
Because of this, Wei Heng had a lot of children.
Six sons and three daughters.
Among them, Lin Hui gave birth to Wei Baishou, and he had the Central Plains Sect Alliance as his background.
The eldest son Wei Baizhuo and eldest daughter Wei Juan were given birth by Huang Yanyan, and the power behind them was the Qingcheng Sect.
The third son, Wei Bailiang, the fourth son, Wei Baichen, and the fifth son, Wei Baiban, were triplets. They were given birth by Wan Renhua, and the backing behind them was the Thunder Cliff.
As for the youngest, Wei Baimu, and the second daughter, Wei Lian, they were born into the Ao Lai Sect. Their mother was Qing Wan’er.
As for the third daughter, the youngest child in the family, Wei Zihan, was the most disliked child. She was the child of Wei Heng and an ordinary girl.
She did not have any background, but she was talented and intelligent. She was already at the second stage of the spiritual pedestal realm at the age of 15.
Wei Heng loved this youngest daughter the most.
After all, only Wei Zihan’s mother was the only woman Wei Heng had ever loved in his life.
Unfortunately, Wei Zihan had a weak personality. She had always been silent when bullied by her older brothers and sisters. This made Wei Heng’s heart ache.
However, he could not do anything about this.
The other children and the forces behind them were existences that Wei Heng did not want to provoke.
Now, Wei Heng was already old. In addition to the battles he had fought in his early years, his body had acc.u.mulated many hidden illnesses. He did not hide this fact from others.
This also indirectly caused his children to fight openly and secretly, fighting violently for the position as the city lord.
Among them, Wei Baizhuo, as the eldest son, joined hands with the eldest daughter, so they were the most powerful. The second son, Wei Baishou, also relied on his mother’s forces to bully others. Therefore, the youngest son and second daughter also chose to side with Wei Baishou.
As for the triplets, they relied on each other for warmth and were barely able to survive under the tyrannical power of the two.
Wei Zihan was left.
She did not have any power. In fact, other than the servants that Wei Heng had sent to protect her and monitor her cultivation, she did not have any other subordinates. It could be said that Wei Zihan had lost completely in the battle for the city Lord.
Neither did she choose to take sides nor did she develop her power. This made her brothers and sisters look down on her.
However, Wei Zihan did not care. She had no intention to fight for the city lord. She just wanted to live. It made no difference to her regardless of who the city lord was.
However, no matter which child of Wei Heng became the city lord, he would never let her off the hook!
Although Wei Zihan saw this clearly, she was helpless.
Her chances of winning were too small, and no one was willing to side with her.
All of this was in the eyes of Wei Heng, her father.
Therefore, Wei Heng removed the restrictions this time, hoping that Wei Zihan could recruit a few subordinates, even if it was just to survive.
However, it backfired unexpectedly.
During this period of time, all the partic.i.p.ants had been divided into two factions and entered the sphere of influence of the eldest and second sons. The others basically did not have the qualifications.
This was not the situation that Wei Heng wanted to see.
Back then, he had single-handedly created White Dragon City without relying on anyone. Therefore, even if he died, he would still have the power to interfere in the affairs of White Dragon City!
Inside the city lord’s mansion.
Wei Heng grunted, his turbid eyes emitting a shrewd light.
Wei Heng naturally knew what had happened outside. This time, no matter what, he had to help Wei Zihan, even if it was just protecting her!
Only when facing Wei Zihan did Wei Heng wanted to fulfill his responsibility as a father!
“Zihan, father will pave the way for you. Even if you don’t become the city lord in the end, father will let you live comfortably!
“Chang An!”
“City lord.”
“Go to the field and bring that masked man to see me.”
“Yes.”
The man named Chang An nodded and left the city lord’s mansion.
As the martial scholar from ten years ago, Chang An’s strength was now half a step into the nascent soul realm!
Logically speaking, he should have left White Dragon City long ago to look for opportunities. However, in order to repay Wei Heng’s kindness, he never left.
For Chang An, Wei Heng was the reason why he stayed in White Dragon City. If Wei Heng died in the future, no matter who became the city lord, Chang An would choose to leave.
However, Chang An suddenly had an excuse to stay here.
That was Victor.
As the top ranker ten years ago, Chang An’s strength was unquestionable. Even so, after seeing Victor’s strength, he could not help but feel shocked.
Ten years ago, if he met Victor, he probably could not escape defeat!
So, he wanted to fight Victor!
He was willing to give Victor ten years. After ten years, when both of them had reached the nascent soul realm, they would have a battle!
At this thought, Chang An came to the arena. At this moment, Victor had won 20 matches in a row, causing the crowd to cheer.
“Can you tell me your name?”
Chang An said and walked up to the arena.
As the first place winner 10 years ago, many people knew Chang An. Just when they thought Chang An was going to fight, they did not expect the following situation to happen.
“My name? Why should I tell you?”
Victor looked at Chang An in front of him with a hint of fear.
A half-step nascent soul realm cultivator was not to be underestimated!
“You misunderstood. The city lord ordered me to ask you if you are interested in joining us?”
