After a while, one of the Divine Light Realm cultivators replied with a wry smile, "Fellow Daoist Ye, you're right. Actually, we can all figure it out."

"After all, it's not like we've just learned about City Lord Li's character. He holds a very high prestige and maintains the trade balance of the entire Xuantian Continent. If anyone doesn't give him some respect, then, to put it bluntly, he's the uncrowned king of Xuantian Continent."

"We dare not offend him."

Ye Tianchen frowned and asked, "Without him, will this Xuantian Continent be unable to function?"

"To be honest with Fellow Daoist Ye, we really can't do without him."

These four people in the Divine Light Realm, like everyone else, actually had many complaints about Li Qingran in secret.

I just don't dare to put it in the open.

Ye Tianchen thought for a moment and replied, "You say we can't do without him, but I don't think so."

"What do you mean?"

The four of them were stunned.

Ye Tianchen changed the subject, "Haha, let's talk about other things first. If I were City Lord Li, the conditions I could offer you would definitely be more generous than his. For example, I would do this... I would lead you to find the secret of immortality, and then share it with you, distributing it fairly."

"Of course I can see that you were invited only out of luck, while his original plan was to monopolize the opportunity of this strange world."

The four people's expressions were extremely ugly.

Indeed, Ye Tianchen was right.

Li Qingran actually did this.

And they really did hold onto a lucky glimmer of hope.

If they get a great opportunity during this trip, they will definitely not hand it over, but use it first.

They acted first and reported later, so no matter how dissatisfied Li Qingran was, he had no choice but to accept it.

But is it really that simple?

How can a truly great opportunity be obtained so easily?

Having said that, it was Ye Tianchen's proposal that made them feel helpless.

"It's a pity. If there were no ifs, you wouldn't be City Lord Li, and you wouldn't be able to be." Another Divine Light Realm cultivator sighed.

Ye Tianchen smiled and said, "Four fellow Daoists, now that we've come to this point, why don't we just be frank? I say... what if I want to replace him?"

"Will you support me?"

"what!"

The four people's faces changed drastically!

"Fellow Daoist Ye, let's stop discussing this dangerous topic!"

"Four fellow Taoists, I am serious."

Then, there was a brief silence.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, if you continue talking, aren't you afraid that we will tell on you?"

Ye Tianchen smiled nonchalantly, "I believe you know our city lord better than I do about his character and personality. It doesn't matter if you snitch on me. The worst that can happen is that you kill me."

"But what will you get after killing me? Nothing, right?"

The four looked at each other in shock, speechless.

Ye Tianchen continued, "The condition I can offer you is that I will lead you to find the secret of immortality, and we will share all the opportunities in this strange world with you. All of us present here can share them equally!"

"And I, Ye Tianchen, can swear to the Heavens here that I will never break my promise, otherwise I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!"

Immortality?

The opportunities of this world...are divided equally?

The four people in the Divine Light Realm all gasped for breath.

No matter which point it is, they can't refuse!

Besides, Ye Tianchen has already sworn an oath to Heaven, how can this be false!

With such sincerity before their eyes, the four of them almost agreed.

Yet they were still worried.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, if City Lord Li knew about this, we would be utterly unable to bear the responsibility of this crime."

"That's right, we are not alone, we have a sect behind us."

……

Hearing that the four people did not directly refuse, Ye Tianchen knew that this matter was almost done.

He smiled and asked, "Four fellow Taoists, I'm very curious, why are you all so afraid of Li Qingran?"

"Ugh……"

"Because Li Qingran controls the largest trade channel in Xuantian Continent, the circulation of the heavenly and earthly spiritual treasures, spiritual jade, fierce beast inner core, and other rare treasures we use for cultivation is secretly controlled by City Lord Li. If we betray him... I'm afraid that in the future, we will never be able to find suitable cultivation resources through City Lord Li's channels again."

"It's fine for us, but the sect behind us will also suffer."

"It's just a matter of life and death for one person, but we really don't want to be sinners for eternity."

"Yes, as long as we go against City Lord Li, we will inevitably be hostile to all the sects that follow City Lord Li!"

As soon as the words came out, the four people's already wavering minds calmed down and became hesitant.

Ye Tianchen naturally took in the expressions of these four people in the Divine Light Realm.

He laughed lightly and said, "Haha, then have you ever thought about whether you still need to worry about Li Qingran after you leave here?"

"The opportunities you have obtained are enough for you to build an invincible sect. By then, I'm afraid Li Qingran will even beg you for help."

Having said that, the hesitation on the faces of the four of them remained unchanged.

Another Divine Light Realm cultivator sighed and said, "We know you have the secret of immortality, but isn't that a possibility? We can't afford to gamble. Those who have opposed City Lord Li have all died miserably without exception. We simply can't take that risk."

"Yes, even if we have obtained a great opportunity here, whether we can withstand the revenge of City Lord Li is still a question."

Ye Tianchen smiled nonchalantly, "Four Daoists, have you forgotten what would happen if our City Lord couldn't get out?"

"this!"

"This one……"

Ye Tianchen said slowly, "To be honest, Li Qingran was of no use to me at all. His death has no impact on me at all. But please don't think that I, Ye Tianchen, am the kind of person who would destroy the bridge after crossing it. Li Qingran treated me like this, and I was only trying to protect myself."

The four Divine Light Realm cultivators fell silent.

I don't know if they are communicating with each other through voice transmission.

An hour passed.

"Well, Fellow Daoist Ye, we'll help you!"

"Thank you." Ye Tianchen smiled.

This was all within his expectations.

After all, who can resist the temptation of eternal life?

"Then take a gamble!"

Ye Tianchen said, "There's no need to gamble. As you can see, Li Qingran will not let me go. He will definitely not get out alive."

"Just Fellow Daoist Ye, can you really guarantee that Li Qingran will die?"

"That's natural."

……

"So, what do you need us to do?"

"I'll have to trouble the four of you to spread what I just said so that everyone knows about this matter."

"this!"

The four were shocked!

"Absolutely not, Fellow Daoist Ye! If anyone objects or secretly informs us, we're finished!"

"Haha, you don't have to worry." Ye Tianchen smiled, "For our conversation, of course you should first find someone you trust and tell them. Then, let them find a few more trustworthy people to convey my meaning."

"We don't need everyone's consent. Even if it's just me, I have the ability to kill Li Qingran."

"You must understand one thing. I don't want our alliance to fall apart before we even get the chance."

"I want a win-win result, do you understand?"

Suddenly, a Divine Light Realm cultivator asked in confusion, "Fellow Daoist Ye, if you think so, why did you ask for our consent first?"
