CHAPTER 210: CHAPTER 170: THE SITUATION OF BEING SQUEEZED FROM 2 SIDES (REQUESTING SUBSCRIPTION)_4

"You can look, but you can’t touch."

"Ah... this."

Strolling out of the city, Yuchi meandered along the main road heading back to Xufu Town.

The road from Jiangzhou City to Xufu Town was quite long, but there was a small post station every twenty or thirty miles.

Where there’s a post station, there would be a small Defense Department official, issuing travel passes, so there wasn’t much need to worry about bandits and the like.

Other travelers could still be seen on this road.

"As long as I don’t take those remote paths, just stick to the main road, no bandits would easily target the main road."

"The law and order in this world is still decent."

"And eating these days has its benefits too."

"I’ve finally gotten familiar with people from the Four Major Institutions."

"Also, I can set up a spacious six-story building in Jiangzhou City for the first appearance of the Immortal Robe Pavilion."

"It’s probably not possible this year, in two or three months, heavy snow will arrive."

"Wait until spring tomorrow, choose a good day, and launch the Immortal Robe Pavilion. Could we have a grand appearance?"

On horseback.

Yuchi took out the small wooden box from his bosom.

Smelling the faint fragrance from the wooden box, Yuchi’s old face blushed.

"Really nice, once things settle down, I’ll send her a message."

"Ask if she’ll visit Jiangzhou City in the future?"

"If I have Yinghan’s help, not to mention winning over Sister Yinghan’s heart, just speaking of the so-called Star Observatory..."

"I should be able to connect with them."

Establishing a good relationship with the Star Observatory is important.

It’s not about the direct connection with the Star Observatory itself, but through it, you can see a higher world.

"Just like this trip to Jiangzhou City, if I hadn’t gone, I wouldn’t have known about the institutions in Jiangzhou City."

"Let alone know about the relationships behind the institutions and sects."

"So, how could I expect the Xufu Town Government to help me without any knowledge?"

"Protect me while I compete with other clans in Clothing Town?"

"That would end disastrously."

"By the same token, if I can’t get a clear understanding of the higher-ups at the Star Observatory, I dare not make rash decisions."

"I dare not completely reshuffle Jiangzhou City."

"Can’t ensure my safety even after killing Chen Weiran and Yuan Tiangang."

He stopped by a small stream, letting his horse drink water.

He picked a rose fruit from the roadside, eating it with a natural and cold demeanor.

"This time in Jiangzhou City, they taught me that so-called fair competition is a false proposition."

"When others have strong backing to oppress you, what can you do?"

"If it weren’t for my cultivation at the Core Formation Stage, I really would have been killed by Zhou Xingcai and others."

"I truly would have died."

"So, since they don’t follow martial ethics, I won’t bother with genuine peaceful competition either."

"You’ve seen it. They made the first move." Yuchi patted his horse’s tail, and the horse snorted in response.

"Chirp chirp—"

"Chirpy?"

The horse, "..."

Yuchi laughed, chewing on a blade of grass.

"The plan looks simple overall; I need to gain the upper hand in Jiangzhou City."

"To gain the upper hand, I need to cleanse the old forces with blood."

"Whether it’s Chen Weiran or Yuan Tiangang, they must die."

"Only when they’re dead can I place my people in Jiangzhou City, making it the domain of my league."

"To cleanse the old forces, I need to establish a good relationship with the Star Observatory or higher-ups."

"They want the government’s business, which ultimately means money."

"My league can give them money, so if they sell the city to me, what’s the problem?"

"As for the Imperial Decree Department..."

"Forget it, I still don’t know the name of the City Lord of Jiangzhou City."

"Just like I don’t know the County Magistrate’s name of Xufu Town."

"There’s no need to haggle with the Imperial Decree Department; they understand what’s absolutely forbidden."

"An unworthy person doesn’t deserve to have a jewel."

"That’s the truth of it."

Meanwhile, in Jiangzhou City, no one knew the real situation.

Whether it’s Yuan Tiangang of the Demon-slaying Bureau or Chen Weiran of the Celestial Capital Department, they believed they were good friends with Yuchi.

After all, judging by Yuchi’s behavior during meals in recent days.

Yuchi was not exactly like them, but a bird of a feather—all were greedy people.

Even groped the big stool when drinking.

Little did they know, it was just an act, not to be taken seriously.

At this point, Yuchi had clearly embarked on a different path.

The number of people who might fall due to conflicting interests on this path was unknown.

"Can’t be helped."

"Without destruction, there can be no construction. After destruction, construction begins; the birth of a new order requires a bloody reshuffle."

"It’s Yuchi’s turn today; even without me, someone else would come in the future."

"Order always bounces forward erratically, does the perfect world exist?"

He turned his head.

Yuchi looked to the distance.

A few people emerged from the bushes in the distance.

"Demacia?"

Yuchi mocked.

Frowning, he looked up and down.

"Aren’t these the people from the town earlier?"

"Now they’ve come to this place, standing in front of him, are they trying to rob?"
