After the news of Sima Rongjie's death came back, the patriarch of the Sima family and some members of the family elders gathered in the family meeting hall.
At this time, there were not only members of the Sima family in the meeting room, but also an outsider. This outsider is a veteran of Tianyin Tower.
The Sima family and Jing Yan didn't have any grudges before, and Dingyun City is not close to Hongmeng City. Speaking of which, Hongmeng City has no threat to Dingyun City, at least not in a short time. There is really no need for the Sima family to go to Hongmeng City to make trouble. The reason why the Sima family came up with this idea was precisely because of the Tianyin Tower.
"Team Leader Sima, all elders!"
"This matter is indeed Tianyinlou's negligence. Beforehand, we did not check the registration of Hongmeng Cultivation Pagoda." The elder of Tianyinlou had a gloomy expression.
Although Sima Rongjie took the lead in going to Hongmeng City to make trouble, in fact, who knows that Tianyinlou is the real mastermind behind the scenes? It can be said that the impact of this incident on Tianyinlou is definitely not inferior to Sima's family. Wu Ling of Tianyin Building was also killed by Jing Yan.
"What's the use of talking about it now?" Team Leader Sima looked at Miao Yi.
Miao Yi is the veteran of Tianyin Building present.
"Sigh, no one would have imagined that the Hongmeng Training Pagoda is really a heaven-level training tower!" An elder Sima patriarch said with a sigh.
"Damn it! Master Ru Yueyi would suddenly go to Hongmeng City!" Another elder said angrily.
"Master Ruyueyi was invited by Gao Zhenjiang, the elder of the Golden Toad Chamber of Commerce. Gao Zhenjiang has a deep friendship with Master Ru's family." When an elder mentioned Gao Zhenjiang, he bit his teeth.
"We were wrong about this matter from the very beginning. Even if Master Ruyueyi did not go to Hongmeng City, the result would not have changed. That Jing Yan is extremely domineering. The Hongmeng Training Tower is a heaven-level cultivation tower, and Master Ruyueyi is not required to judge it." The Sima family head said.
"In any case, if Master Ruyueyi hadn't judged it himself, at least the subsequent impact on us would have been much lessened," said an elder.
Everyone else nodded.
If Grandmaster judged the Grandmist Training Tower himself, the influence would be too great.
Don't say anything else, just say that it's only been a day, and the news has spread completely.
"Everyone, how should we fight back?" Team Leader Sima turned his eyes to look at everyone present.
"Clan chief Sima, elders!" Miao Yi spoke again.
He paused and continued: "I'm afraid it's inappropriate to force it. Jing Yan in Hongmeng City is too strong. Unless we send a large number of immortal masters to the peak, there will be no good results. Moreover, even if we send out a large army, the loss will be huge. The point is, public opinion does not favor us."
"Is that the way to go?" An elder was not reconciled.
"Wait!" Miao Yi made a heavy voice.
"Our best choice is to wait." Miao Yi looked at the crowd: "Sooner or later, Yanwang Palace will take action to destroy Hongmeng City. It's just that we need to wait for a long time."
"The four red-clothed assassins from the Hades Palace died in Hongmeng City, at the hands of the Jingyan thief. We also got some information. The palace master seems to have summoned the black clothes in the Hunyuan Dimension. It's just... It may take tens of thousands of years." Team Leader Sima frowned.
Tens of thousands of years is not long, but it is not short either.
"Patriarch Sima, forgive me. It is extremely inappropriate for the Sima family to take the lead in attacking Hongmeng City. As for our Tianyin Building, even if we want to take the lead." Miao Yi said.
Tianyin Building is a very special institution, and there are not many strong people in it. The main owner of Tianyin Building is the Immortal Emperor, but this main owner will not easily destroy a city in Tianyu.
"There are many enemies in Hongmeng City." An elder Sima's eyes flashed.
"That's right, the Eight Gods Alchemy Sect also hates that little Jingyan thief, but the Eight Gods Alchemy School has been forbearing. If we go to the Eight Gods Alchemy Sect to talk about jointly dealing with Hongmeng City, I'm afraid even if we can achieve it, it will be very difficult." Miao Yi shook his head.
A group of big shots discussed for several days in a row, and they still waited for the final result.
In the final analysis, the reason is that Jing Yan is too powerful to deal with.
If you use force, you will lose a lot, and you may not be able to succeed.
The relationship between superpowers in Tianyu is intricate, and there are allies and enemies between forces. If they really attack Hongmeng City in a big way, it is likely to lead to a chain reaction, and the situation may be out of control by then.
When the Hongmeng Danlou rose, the one who suffered the most impact was actually the Eight Gods Alchemy School, but why did the Eight Gods Alchemy School keep holding back? Don't want to destroy Hongmeng City? Absolutely not!
It is true that it is too difficult to level Hongmeng City. If one's own losses are too great, it is very likely that the praying mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind.
Without absolute certainty, these super-powerful forces will not rashly send a large number of immortal masters into the depths of the minefield to attack Hongmeng City. There are indeed many strong people in these forces, but a large part of these strong people want to sit in their own base camp. If the base camp is empty, maybe other forces will take advantage of it, and then the base camp will be taken over by other forces, and it will be really confusing.
…
Hongmeng City, City Lord's Mansion!
"My lord, the active population of our Hongmeng City reached the 20 million mark yesterday." Chief Executive Bai Han reported standing in front of Jing Yan.
At this time, only seven days had passed since the Hongmeng Training Pagoda was judged by Master Ru Yueyi as a heaven-level training tower.
It is an obvious fact that outside ascetics flock to Hongmeng City. But it will take time for these ascetics to reach Hongmeng City.
Even cultivators from cities such as Tianji City cannot relocate to Hongmeng City all at once. Even if you have an idea and decide, you have to deal with the property under your own name first. Adventurers without property need to make some preparations.
Therefore, the influx of people will not reach its peak all at once.
The number of ascetics pouring into Hongmeng City every day is continuously increasing. As for how much the daily peak of the influx of people will reach, it is not yet clear.
"Well, it seems that our Hongmeng City will have a population of 50 million in a short time." Jing Yan nodded.
"According to our forecast, within a month or two, the active population of Hongmeng City will reach 50 million." Bai Han nodded.
"Today in Hongmeng City, the price of a standard small residence has soared to 700 million. It has more than doubled before the opening of the Hongmeng Training Tower." Bai Han continued: "Even the standard small residences in the outer city have reached 600 million black crystals per block."
"Director Niu Bo, we are already working on the second phase of the expansion of the outer city. Various materials are being brought in continuously, and construction will start within ten days." Bai Han had a smile on his face.
