"Isn't this impossible? I also know that the Nine Great Families are very ancient forces, but they have long since disappeared, so few people now know of their existence.

However, the forces behind us are also very hidden. Even if we are the city lords, we actually don’t know anything about this dynasty, and we don’t even know anything about it except the name of this force.

But one thing we can be sure of is that if the power behind each city lord is a dynasty, how powerful can you imagine the power of the dynasty?

What about the nine aristocratic families? It seems that we have never heard of the power of the nine aristocratic families, right?" Long Tang said.

"The words of Lord Long City are not unreasonable, but it seems that the power in this world is not as simple as we imagined.

Think about it, because we are the city lords, we know that there is a force behind it called the Dynasty.

But how do others know about the existence of the dynasty and how powerful it is?

On the contrary, although the nine great families are hidden from the world, how can we be sure that they are not as powerful as the dynasty?

For example, the backers of some cities may not necessarily be dynasties, but maybe the nine great families? It’s just that we are not related,” the city lord said.

"This is possible. For example, for example, the Cheng family, isn't it possible that the power behind it is the Chen family of the nine great aristocratic families?

Moreover, this is just one of them. There are eight other aristocratic families. Wouldn't they do something?

Perhaps it is because the Dynasty knows this better, so even if the eight masters of Xuantian Sect really belong to the Dynasty, the Dynasty does not dare to act rashly against Cheng Yu and the Chen family." After hearing what several people said, everyone seemed to think so.

The explanation is reasonable.

The dynasty was also afraid of the strength of the nine great families, so it did not dare to take action against the Cheng family.

"If this is the case, wouldn't our city be hopeless?" Han Fu frowned.

"Why?"

"Don't you understand this? If even the Dynasty doesn't dare to touch the Cheng family, then do we still need to tell those people about the situation here and let them stand up for us?" Han Fu said.

"Yes, so we really have nothing to do with the Cheng family!" Everyone was stunned, thinking why is the Cheng family so difficult to deal with?

"I think it's too early for everyone to draw conclusions now. No matter whether the dynasty is also afraid of the Cheng family or the nine great families, we can't just watch it now.

Otherwise, when the Cheng family becomes bigger and bigger in the secular world and attracts more and more people, we all go to drink the northwest wind?" Hong Qing suddenly became a little dissatisfied when he saw that everyone's attitude was so negative.

Every time he comes to the secular world, what he sees is that these small cultivation towns are becoming more and more prosperous and active.

But their own city is becoming more and more deserted and declining. How could he be willing to do this?

"Then what good idea does Lord Hong have?" Everyone said helplessly.

After everyone analyzed the current situation, they felt that their city was really hopeless.

They want to use the same means to steal the Cheng family's business, but they don't have the Cheng family's abundant resources to back them up.

If you want to use strength to overwhelm the opponent, it seems that the power behind them is not small. This is really an insurmountable problem.

"Although I don't have any good ideas, the strength of the Cheng family cannot be shaken by us. Even if we all unite together, we will probably lose both our people and money.

Therefore, we must let the forces behind this matter know no matter what. At least let them know our difficulties.

If they don't help us solve this problem, when the tribute is handed over, there will definitely not be enough!" Hong Qing said with a serious face.

Every five years, they must pay the required tribute to the forces behind it.

Three years have passed since the last time they paid tribute. In other words, two years later, they will have to pay tribute again.

In fact, it is not just in the past few years that the Cheng family has implemented the mission mode. The Cheng family has had a mission mode since its establishment, but at that time, the Cheng family had not yet had missions outside the clan.

Those who accepted the mission were all disciples of the Cheng family, so even though they had heard about it at that time, they were not affected at all.

Moreover, even if the Cheng family later implemented the task mode outside the clan and allowed people outside the Cheng family to receive tasks, they were not actually affected at all.

It's just that the Cheng family's missions outside the clan can often be heard in the city.

In the past few years, the world of cultivation has undergone major changes, and many forces have gone to the secular world. As a result, this mission model of the Cheng family has become more and more popular and prosperous.

Especially after the Cheng family built fifty-two cultivation towns, the scale of this model also grew explosively.

Because cities appeared here, many monks chose to live in these small cultivation towns for a long time, or even moved away from their cities.

This kind of thing has intensified in the past two or three years, which has had a great impact on these cities.

In just the past two or three years, the profits they received from the city have become less and less.

If this continues and they don't try to find a way to change everything, they will probably really have to drink the northwest wind. And when the time comes, they will not only be affected, but also the forces behind them will be affected.

If they don't help, they won't have enough tribute to pay tribute at that time, so they won't be blamed.

"City Lord Hong is wise, this is a good idea. Regardless of whether the forces behind us are really afraid of the nine great families, this matter must be left to them.

After all, this is not something we can handle, and it would be better if there are any conflicts and frictions between them by then.

As long as the Cheng family is damaged, our city will be saved. We can even take advantage of the opportunity to follow this mission pattern and attract these people back!" When everyone thought about the stakes, they felt

This method is feasible.

No matter who is stronger between the dynasty and the nine great families, if the two great powers fight against each other, one of them will definitely be harmed.

Of course, the biggest possibility is that both forces will suffer losses.

In this way, a great opportunity will come for their various cities to rise.

When the time comes for them to build a mission machine, a lot of resources will really flow into their city.

Then they no longer have to worry about a decrease in resources, let alone not enough tributes to hand in.

This is simply the best of both worlds!
