#2958 - News from Dongchang City
Having spent so many years in Sky City, the two of them had never even heard the name of Dongchang City.
One could imagine just how far away Dongchang City was from Sky City...
Such a vast distance made it seem almost impossible for any information to travel between them.
There could be no other explanation than deliberate, covert manipulation.
While Emily and Wang Tian were contemplating this matter,
the Class B beast tide near Dongchang City was also discussing the same thing.
Several powerful ferocious beasts gathered together and discussed:
"How about we take advantage of the old Dongchang dog's serious injuries and add some fuel to the fire? For example, we could secretly spread everything that's happening in Dongchang City to Sky City. If that mysterious expert wants to continue targeting Dongchang City, this would give them a reason to do so."
"The plan is good, but I'm worried that if we secretly spread this information, we might provoke that mysterious expert. What if we end up facing their wrath? We can't possibly withstand that."
"Don't worry. According to my deductions, that mysterious expert shouldn't shift their anger onto us. We're only playing a minor role in pushing things along. Besides, none of the disseminated information contains anything negative about this mysterious expert."
"Given all these factors, it would be unreasonable for this mysterious expert to vent their anger on us. If the old Dongchang dog finds out that we're secretly doing this, he'll probably be so enraged that he'll explode, hahaha."
...
Your enemy knows you best.
Only your enemy understands what can hurt you the most.
Dongchang, who was hiding in the city to heal, was in this exact situation.
Busy with his recovery, he would never have imagined that the powerful ferocious beasts who had been opposing him for years were capable of such maneuvers.
Making it... impossible to defend against!
With the help of several powerful ferocious beasts, news of the mysterious expert's display of power in Dongchang City spread like wildfire within Sky City in just one month.
These accounts weren't exaggerated.
It was impossible to exaggerate further; the fact that a single, casual move had seriously injured the City Lord of Dongchang was already shocking enough.
If these powerful ferocious beasts hadn't witnessed firsthand how Dongchang City Lord was critically wounded,
they probably wouldn't have believed a single word, even if someone had told them the story with absolute certainty.
What a joke! Cultivating to their level,
especially someone like Dongchang City Lord at his cultivation stage, how could he be seriously injured by a single move?
That was just a rumor.
The creatures within Sky City were stunned upon hearing this news.
"Damn, when did Sky City gain such a monstrous expert? Is the news from Dongchang City mistaken? If Sky City really had such an expert, how could we not know? Why would we still be so wary of the Class C beast tide?"
"I don't think this news is wrong. Dongchang City doesn't need to spread false information to deceive us. If the news is true, we should try to deduce who this mysterious expert is and why they've been hiding so deeply!"
"Isn't the answer already obvious? There's no need to guess who it is. The most mysterious existence in Sky City is Emperor Qin. To this day, no one knows how powerful Emperor Qin truly is. It must have been Emperor Qin."
"Now that you mention it, I suddenly feel like it was Emperor Qin too. After all, Emperor Qin perfectly fits the requirements for someone capable of doing this in Sky City. This also proves the unspeakable relationship between Emperor Qin and City Lord Sophie."
...
Qin Buyi was stunned for a long time upon hearing the rumors in Sky City.
How did his trip to Dongchang City solidify this fabricated relationship with Sophie?
This was just creating unnecessary trouble.
Qin Buyi understood the ins and outs of how the news about Dongchang City had spread with just a little thought.
The Class B ferocious beast experts must be unwilling to let Dongchang City Lord heal in peace.
They wanted to use this news to provoke him into killing Dongchang City Lord.
Or at least add some grief to Dongchang City Lord.
If Qin Buyi had the strength to do so, he would naturally do it.
But the key was that asking the system to take action once would cost at least 400 million God-level points.
If he wanted to kill Dongchang City Lord, it would be an astronomical figure.
Qin Buyi could only pretend not to see the Class B beast tide ferocious beast experts' little calculations.
Letting a snake escape is asking for trouble later.
Dongchang City Lord would definitely fall, but the time wasn't now.
His main focus in Sky City was still targeting the Class C beast tide.
The news circulating in Sky City almost simultaneously reached the Class C beast tide's base.
The experts within the Class C beast tide felt their scalps tingle upon hearing this news.
If they hadn't heard this news, it would have been fine.
But now that they knew, this news was like a bolt from the blue, terrifying to the extreme!
"Damn it, what kind of existence have we been fighting all along? If Emperor Qin is really that terrifying, his act of playing dumb is a bit too skilled. Is this powerful expert playing a cat-and-mouse game with us? This is too shameless."
"Have you guys considered the authenticity of this information? I think there's a good chance it's fake. Think about it, if Emperor Qin is really as powerful as described in the information, wouldn't we be courting death by opposing him?"
"I think so too. There's no need for such an expert to waste time with us in this godforsaken place called Sky City. The only possibility for why he's willing to waste time with us like this is that he's temporarily unable to deal with us."
"Are you guys out of your minds? Didn't you see that the information says it came from Dongchang City? It can't be fake. Dongchang City is a force countless times stronger than us. How could they use this method to praise Emperor Qin?"
...
This news made the experts of the Class C beast tide restless.
On one hand, they still held some wishful thinking.
On the other hand, endless fear surfaced in their hearts.
How could they allow others to snore beside their bed?
Especially with the current disharmonious relationship between the Class C beast tide and Sky City.
Perhaps one day, the disaster of destruction would befall them.
