Chapter 508: Chapter 335: The First Thing We Say Every Day: What’s Your Heavenly Ladder Score? [Vote for Monthly Pass!]
Fortunately, the court still left some hope.
Lu Yuru respected Yan Chuan, and she was the first to express her stance: "This little girl and the two thousand Lu Family Army under my command will heed City Lord Yan’s orders completely, no matter where to fight, without a second word!"
All Heavenly Prides have pride.
Lu Yuru is no exception.
However, she achieved her Limit-breaking level in "Four Symbols Sword" under Yan Chuan’s guidance, making him almost like a half-master to her, deserving of respect. Moreover, with her "Wisdom Eye," she could see that Yan Chuan possessed a treasure and guessed his fortune was soaring, eagerly wanting to catch onto his coattails.
On one hand, she truly respects him.
On the other hand, she wants to hold onto his coattails.
Thus, Lu Yuru wholeheartedly devoted herself to Yan Chuan, without reservation, naturally lacking the pride and restraint of a Heavenly Pride or Limit-breaking before Yan Chuan.
Lu Yuru showed no restraint and was the first to express her stance.
Ding Xiang, busy sparring with Wei Lingshan, was overtaken, and she was the second to quickly follow up with her stance: "I and the five thousand Ding Family Army under my command will also follow only City Lord Yan!"
Ding Xiang’s situation was very similar to Lu Yuru; both of them were able to reach the Limit-breaking level under Yan Chuan’s guidance.
Moreover.
Lu Yuru had the "Wisdom Eye" for recognizing people.
While Ding Xiang was bound to Yan Chuan through the "Mind Reading Technique."
Both women devoted themselves wholeheartedly to Yan Chuan; the better Yan Chuan did, the better they would be.
Compared to Lu Yuru.
Compared to Ding Xiang.
Situ Fei was more distant; she purely came for Ding Xiang. As long as Ding Xiang was happy, as long as she could increase her favor with her, Situ Fei would do anything, including pledging loyalty to Yan Chuan—
"I am not good at leading troops, nor do I understand battle formations. I will hand over the command of my five thousand troops to Junior Sister Ding for training, and they will be at the disposal of Junior Sister Ding and City Lord Yan."
Situ Fei was even more direct, entrusting military command to Ding Xiang.
Not for the throne, but for love!
Situ Fei was very carefree.
Among the seven Limit-breaking Military Leaders, three expressed their stance on the spot.
The situation was very favorable.
Peng Fannian and Jing Bao also had a very good impression of Yan Chuan, and at this time, they were willing to cooperate, not holding Yan Chuan back: "In future battles, City Lord Yan, please give your orders!"
However, the two did not rush like Lu Yuru, Ding Xiang, and Situ Fei, preferring to place themselves on the same level as Yan Chuan, neither taking a superior stance nor a submissive one, just right.
Ban Xianfu was much more aloof, but he had only eight hundred troops, negligible.
The remaining Wei Lingshan—
"My six thousand elite troops can listen to your orders, but you must give me at least one thousand jin of Essence Stone per month and allow me to freely enter and exit ’Earth Gate’!"
...
"Earth Gate?"
"What is Earth Gate?"
"What is Earth Gate?"
Peng Fannian and others were baffled.
Among the Heavenly Prides present—
Tan Dou was absent.
Ying Jifeng was absent.
The one with the deepest background was surely the daughter of the Sect Hierarch of Black Hawk Sect, the Black Hawk Sect Saintess Wei Lingshan. This Witch was clearly very knowledgeable about the Mountain and Sea Realm and King City, far surpassing everyone else, having even interacted with ’Earth Gate,’ ’Heavenly Ladder City,’ and ’Underground City,’ perhaps even having battled in ’Heavenly Ladder City’ previously.
Wang Zhengyi curiously asked: "How many Heavenly Ladder Points do you have?"
"568."
Wei Lingshan’s lips curled slightly; this was her Heavenly Ladder Points before participating in the Cang Mountain Sword Discussion. She had made considerable progress in this Sword Discussion, confident in reaching six hundred points upon re-entering ’Heavenly Ladder City.’
Seeing Wang Zhengyi ask this question, Situ Fei knew: "The court really did grant you this King City, along with the ’Earth Gate’."
Only those who had entered ’Heavenly Ladder City’ and fought ’Heavenly Ladder Battles’ would likely ask about ’Heavenly Ladder Points.’
Situ Fei guessed correctly.
But she did not know that although Yan Chuan and others had the ’Earth Gate,’ they were extremely poor. Before the allocation of six thousand Essence Stones for the first month was granted, they had the ’Earth Gate’ but were unable to enter, only able to look at it.
Therefore, for Wang Zhengyi, who didn’t quite grasp the weight of situ prides herself on ’568’ Heavenly Ladder Points, wondered to himself: "I only played for a day and already had 86 points. Old Yan and Wang Ge only fought one Thousand-Person Battle and got 99 points."
Five hundred-plus points?
At most, it would take six or seven days to reach it!
It didn’t seem like much.
So—
"Oh."
"Quite high."
Wang Zhengyi complimented with a line, not having much reaction.
Seeing this, Wei Lingshan glanced at Yan Chuan and the others, who all seemed unfazed, causing her lips to twitch and couldn’t help cursing, "Country bumpkins!"
Indeed, Yan Chuan and his group were like country bumpkins.
Peng Fannian and the others were even more rustic country bumpkins. Hearing Wei Lingshan’s mention and listening to Wang Zhengyi’s explanation, they finally understood—
"Earth Gate!"
"Heavenly Ladder City!"
"Underground City!"
Only then did they realize that beneath the King City in the Mountain and Sea Realm, there was such a prime spot!
For a moment.
The originally uninterested Heavenly Prides were all now invigorated.
...
"Let’s do it!"
After understanding ’Earth Gate,’ ’King City,’ ’Imperial City Envoy,’ and other matters, Ban Xianfu finally declared: "City Lord Yan, just give your orders. Though Ban has few troops under his command, the Avici Blade in my hand is sharp and can serve as a vanguard!"
Ban Xianfu was unwilling to bow under Yan Chuan’s tyranny for gold rewards or Essence Stones, but for the Million Limit-breaking ’Heavenly Ladder City,’ for the mysterious and opportunity-rich ’Underground City,’ he was willing to cooperate to a degree.
Actually, the ’Underground City’ was alright.
What truly attracted Ban Xianfu was the ’Heavenly Ladder City’—
"Heavenly Ladder Battle!"
"Thousand-Person Battle!"
For such a battle-loving, bloodthirsty Heavenly Pride like him, he couldn’t imagine what a paradise it would be!
For Heavenly Ladder City.
Ban Xianfu relented.
By this time, six out of the seven Limit-breaking Military Leaders had expressed their sta...
