"Young Lady, didn't you say you were going to leave this place for White Dragon City in half a year? Why are you putting in so much effort to help him?"

In an elegant little courtyard located on the eastern side of the city, Xiao Hong asked with a confused expression on her face.

She had been following Big Sister Bell for so many years, and she was very clear about Big Sister Bell's personality. She was really quiet and didn't like power struggles. She was extremely strong, and she was favored by the City Lord. If she really wanted to conquer Sky Thunder City, she would have already ruled it a long time ago. However, she didn't do anything for so many years. This time, she was going to make an exception because of Jiang Yi.

Seeing as Big Sister Bell didn't say anything, Xiao Hong looked at her with a curious expression before mocking, "Could it be that Young Lady likes Chief Jiang? Are you thinking of taking him in as your man? Hehe!"

Big Sister Bell finally reacted. A trace of mild anger appeared on her face as she shot Xiao Hong with the evil eye. An annoyed voice left her lips. "Nonsense! If you dare to speak without thinking again, you will slap yourself!"

"Hehe!" Xiao Hong didn't seem afraid at all. Sticking out her tongue, a mischievous look appeared on her face.

"Sigh…"

Big Sister Bell sighed lightly. "It's about time for me to return. The grudges in White Dragon City should be settled. Aren't you guys the reason I'm helping Chief Jiang?"

She suddenly sighed with regret. "Chief Leng and Commander Lu Di have a great relations.h.i.+p. Others might not know… but I'm very clear about it. The two of them joined hands to smuggle thunder stones, and every month, they would be able to reap a sizeable amount of profit from doing so. Why would people like Chief Li and Chief Ying stand on Chief Leng's side with such resolution? Isn't it because Commander Lu Di had called out to them? After half a year, Chief Leng will definitely think of a plan to unify the entire city the moment I am gone. You, Xiao Dong, and the others will suffer miserably…"

"Ah?"

When Xiao Hong heard what she said, the look on her face drastically changed. Her innocent mind didn't think too much, and she asked in a panic, "Young Lady, aren't you bringing me with you? Are you going to abandon Xiao Hong?"

"It's not that I want to. It will be more dangerous if you follow me!"

A trace of a heavy expression appeared in Big Sister Bell's eyes, and she sighed, "Many years ago, some people who joined hands and chased me out of White Dragon City. They even killed my little sister. I suffered in silence and arrived at Sky Thunder City in order to cultivate my Soul Spirit Demon Punis.h.i.+ng Art to the Phenomenal Stage. After I achieve the Phenomenal Stage a few months later, I will naturally return to take my revenge. Chief Jiang is a decent person. After I leave, all of you should just follow him. This time, I am lending Chief Jiang a hand for him to gain a stable foothold in this city. Isn't everything I am doing all for you guys…?"

"Young Lady!"

Xiao Hong's eyes were already red, and her sobs were so soft it couldn't be heard. She was extremely clear that Big Sister Bell wouldn't tell lies, and if she didn't want to bring them along with her, it would mean that the White Dragon City was definitely much more dangerous. It was natural… as the White Dragon City was the largest city in the White Dragon Archipelago. Meaning that place had more experts—more complicated influences, and it was needless to say that it was definitely extremely dangerous.

It was deep into the night, and it was unusually quiet in the city. Not many people could be seen in the plaza, and it was really strange.

It was calm on the surface, but undercurrents were surging secretly. What Jiang Yi did to Bu He and the forty Heaven Monarchs on thunder mountains had already spread throughout the city. The invitations he sent out were like marks which signified death as it stuck to many people's head.

"Those who do not turn up shall bear the consequences!"

This sentence was extremely tyrannical which enraged Chief Leng and the others once again, while also causing the clansmen of the two clans whose haughtiness were suppressed to turn panicky. It was even more so for the near-ten-thousand people who came from Sky Thunder City together with Bu He. They were so anxious they weren't able to do anything. The moment Bu He died, they turned into a bunch of floating duckweed. None of them knew what kind of fate would be waiting for them.

Putting all the raging aside, Chief Leng and the others quickly made their move. They paid visits to the ten great commanders in the city. However, other than commander Lu Di who met Chief Leng, none of the commanders met any guests. This made all the other chiefs panic as all of them obediently went to the Hundred Flower Inn to wait for Jiang Yi's appearance.

The two banished clans from White Dragon City went to provoke Chief Leng and the others. In the end, many of them lost their lives from the combined might of the Chiefs. Their haughty spirits took a dive, and at this moment, both of their clans arrived at the Hundred Flower Inn since a long time ago.

There were four Heaven Monarchs under Bu He, and they threw one of them under the bus to represent the mountain bandit corps. All of them were frightened stiff. If they didn't show up tonight, they would probably be unable to leave the city; and they would be killed one after the other as soon as they left the city.

Chief Leng showed up as well, and there was a gloomy expression on his face. Big Sister Bell was showing her support for Jiang Yi openly, and everyone was dragged into this mess. Jiang Yi was already difficult to deal with; now there was Big Sister Bell in the loop?

It was fortunate for them that when they arrived, they discovered that Big Sister Bell didn't personally attend. She only sent out Yang Dong, which made everyone felt slightly relieved. If Big Sister Bell were to personally attend, a majority of them wouldn't even dare to fart tonight. Whatever Jiang Yi said would become set in stone.

"Chief Jiang has arrived!"

After everyone drank a small cup of tea, Jiang Yi slowly made his appearance. As Niu Deng's announcement reverberated through the sky, Big Sister Bell's number one commander, Yang Dong, stood up to welcome him. Bu He's underling, Bu Jun, and two elders who were banished from their clans, Zhang Tianji and Meng Tian, hurriedly stood up to welcome the arrival of Jiang Yi.

However, none of the people on Chief Leng's side moved. Only Smiling Tiger and Chief Li looked towards the entrance with a face full of smiles, expressing their goodwill.

Jiang Yi took large strides into the room, and he didn't look at anyone. He directly walked up to the host seat before sitting down. After sitting down, he finally swept his gaze across everyone and said, "Please take a seat."

"Many thanks to Chief Jiang!" Yang Dong, Bu Jun, Zhang Tianji, and Meng Tian cupped their hands before sitting down.

Jiang Yi looked at Yang Dong and laughed, "Yang Dong, you have the word 'Dong' in your name as well. If you turn into a chief in the future, do we call you Chief Yang or Chief Dong?"

Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+

In an instant, the face of a group of people changed. Especially Big Brother Dong, who was one of the chiefs, had the worst expression. Jiang Yi's meaning was extremely clear. He had the intention of pus.h.i.+ng Yang Dong up the ranks. Chief Dong? Wasn't he deliberating suppressing Big Brother Dong?

Yang Dong laughed bitterly, "Chief Jiang, you're putting me in a difficult spot. Even if I become a chief, I can only be addressed as Big Brother. I, Yang Dong, don't have the capabilities to be called a Chief."

"Uh…"

The sound of surprised exclaims sounded in the hall again. If someone like Yang Dong really wanted to move up the ranks, he would have done so a long time ago. It was said that he didn't like to be in the limelight, and he only wished to follow Big Sister Bell his entire life. However, what were all of them hearing right now? He was obviously showing off his desire for power right now.

Seeing as countless sharp gazes were directed towards him, Yang Dong laughed bitterly once again. He really didn't want to become a chief as he simply wanted to cultivate in peace. However, Big Sister Bell looked for him four hours ago and told him that she was going to leave in half a year. If Yang Dong really wanted to live peacefully, there was only one way; and it was to be promoted as a chief and form an alliance with Jiang Yi.

"Ahem!"

Jiang Yi lightly coughed, and everyone fell into silence again. His gaze was like a blade as it swept across his surroundings. "Today, I gathered everyone in order to discuss the position of the two chiefs. Wasn't there a rule saying that there had to be ten chiefs in the city? Ba Dao, Chief Long, and Big Brother Heng are all dead; and there are two spots left. It's not good for the two spots to be constantly empty, right? Do any of you have someone in mind? In my opinion, Yang Dong is not a bad choice, and I admire his skills and morals. There are many brothers in the city who accept him as well, and is there anyone else that isn't convinced? If so, step forward and let all of us know."

It became so silent a pin drop could be heard. If he—Chief Jiang—had already made a decision, was there anyone who would disagree?

Not to mention the fact that Yang Dong had Big Sister Bell behind him. Who would dare to fall out with Big Sister Bell? What if she said she wanted to teach someone how to be a proper person? What was that person going to do?

Chief Leng and the others had a gloomy expression on their faces. If Yang Dong really stepped up, not only would they have to give up one of the thunder mountains. He would also have to recruit many underlings. For example, Bu Jun and the others would be really happy to seek new shelter. After all, the moment a new chief appeared, he would definitely require a lot of underlings.

If none of them spoke out, it would mean that they agreed, making the situation even worse.

Chief Leng could only signal Chief Li and Chief Ying with his eyes. Chief Li pretended to not see anything, and Smiling Tiger giggled without saying anything. Chief Hei seemed to have fallen asleep. Big Brother Dong seemed to be tied up as he remained silent. Chief Ying glanced at him and gritted his teeth before opening his mouth, "Chief Jiang, the new chief has to be voted into power, with more agreeing votes than dissenting votes. How about we call a vote?"
