Chapter 533: Chapter 198: Accidental Exposure, The Gifted Child (Requesting Monthly Tickets!!!!!!)

Longevity Immortal City.

City Lord Mansion.

After Su Wu obtained the treasure of Chunyangzi’s lineage, he quickly calmed down his excitement. Having found a solution to the crisis, he had to consider realistic issues.

Who should he choose to become the hero of Longevity Immortal City?

That’s right, Su Wu had started thinking about his own interests now that a crisis resolution plan was in place.

Although cultivators possess powerful battle strengths due to their cultivation levels, they also have regional loyalties and are members of the immortal city. Otherwise, why would there be talk about cultivators affecting the Immortal City’s destiny?

So, facing the disturbance caused by the two Western Barbarians, Fang Yuan and Fang Yi, in Longevity Immortal City, whoever could defeat them would become the hero of the city.

And that would mean winning the support of the people and successfully obtaining a portion of Longevity Immortal City’s fortune.

So, Su Wu had to carefully consider who he wanted to become the hero. This person must be loyal to him, or else he would simply be paving the way for others.

Under normal circumstances, Su Wu wouldn’t need to worry about this so much. After all, he was already at the Nascent Soul True Monarch Realm, so there was no need to worry too much about the Golden Core cultivators. But now, it was different.

This was a time for the Immortal Dynasty Competition, a rare golden age that happened once every tens of thousands of years. Under these circumstances, fortunes were extremely important.

With fortune, cultivators would have blessings and opportunities to rise, step by step. Who could say that a gifted child couldn’t eventually rise from obscurity?

As Su Wu thought about this, he felt a little regretful. He had previously rejected the help offered by Ling Xiaozi’s lineage and senior and junior fellow brothers, thinking that he alone could enjoy Longevity Immortal City’s fortunes.

Now, he was alone in the city without any support from his sect, and it was already too late to ask for help from Ling Xiaozi.

After all, the city was currently tense, and if he didn’t find a solution soon, the fortune he had been enjoying as the City Master could backfire on him.

He couldn’t wait any longer.

At this moment, Su Wu began to search through the Golden Core Stage True Persons within his City Lord Mansion in his mind. However, he couldn’t find anyone he completely trusted.

This was the sorrow of enjoying power without having any true confidants. Power, for cultivators, was also a delicious poison.

In the end, Su Wu’s foundations were too shallow. He had controlled the Longevity Immortal City for too short a time. If he were given more time, such as ten thousand years, he would undoubtedly cultivate loyal die-hard confidants.

Feeling frustrated, Su Wu tried to calm himself and chose a relatively harmless Golden Core Daoist to kill the Western Barbarians and protect the fortune of the city.

Just then, the Internal Affairs Steward came to submit the list of City Lord Mansion officials’ replacements. At first, Su Wu didn’t pay attention, but then he had a sudden burst of inspiration.

If he selected a suitable person from the Golden Core True Persons who were nearing retirement due to their lifespan, wouldn’t that be killing two birds with one stone?
