Chapter 2497: Chapter 2497: Grand Momentum

Hongmeng City has been established for less than a hundred years, yet its population has surpassed ten million. The speed of this growth is truly unimaginable.

"Elder Gao suddenly sent me a message, it shouldn’t just be to congratulate me, right?" Jing Yan laughed and said.

"Indeed, there’s another matter to discuss with City Lord Jing Yan." Gao Zhenjiang’s tone turned much more serious.

"Our intelligence department at the Golden Toad Commerce has gathered some information that suggests Tianyin Building does not seem pleased with the completion of the Hongmeng Cultivation Tower," Gao Zhenjiang continued.

This information has not yet been grasped by the intelligence department of Hongmeng City.

Actually, this is understandable. The intelligence department of Hongmeng City naturally cannot compare with such a superpower as the Golden Toad Commerce.

"What do they intend to do?" Jing Yan asked with a sullen face.

"They might take some actions against the Hongmeng Cultivation Tower. Since the Hongmeng Cultivation Tower is promoted as a Heavenly Cultivation Tower, they might seize on this point," Gao Zhenjiang said.

"City Lord Jing Yan, you must be prepared. If Tianyin Building really makes a move, they will certainly prepare thoroughly," Gao Zhenjiang paused and said.

"I understand, I will wait for them in Hongmeng City!" Jing Yan sneered coldly in his heart.

...

Time flies!

In the blink of an eye, the Hongmeng Cultivation Tower has been open for half a year.

During this half-year, the population of Hongmeng City has been continuously increasing. Now, the active population has reached a staggering fifteen million.

The Hongmeng Cultivation Tower indeed has had a tremendous impact on Hongmeng City. Half a year ago, the active population of Hongmeng City was just over ten million. In just half a year, it reached fifteen million.

Although with the passage of time, the rate of population growth is slowing down, especially in the past month, the population increase has not yet reached one million. But judging by the current trend, as long as there are no accidents, within a few years, Hongmeng City’s population can reach twenty million.

Cities like Mystic Underworld City and other two-star cities generally have a population of around twenty to thirty million only. And cities like Mystic Underworld City have been established for countless years. Hongmeng City, has been built for less than a century.

This comparison shows the terrifying nature of Hongmeng City. And to this day, Hongmeng City is still not on the list of Tianyin City.

This result makes Tianyin Building rather embarrassed.

On this day, a group of people with special identities came to Hongmeng City. These people exuded an extraordinary aura, clearly not ordinary figures. They were arrogant, with an attitude that seemed to disregard everything.

Among them was the Wuling Building Master from the Thunder Domain branch of Tianyin Building.

However, this group was not led by Wuling. It could be seen that Building Master Wuling was quite respectful to a male cultivator in a black robe beside him. Tiger Roar City Lord Chai Chong was also next to Wuling, occasionally speaking to the man in the black robe.

The group entered the city impressively.

The guards of Hongmeng City immediately reported this matter.

Wuling, Chai Chong, and others suddenly coming to Hongmeng City were clearly not for something as simple as sightseeing. As they walked past on the streets, the cultivators on the street avoided them. The cultivators looked very peculiar.

"Isn’t that the City Lord of Dingyun City?" someone whispered.

"Yes, it’s the City Lord of Dingyun City. I spent quite a bit of time in Dingyun City before and have seen this City Lord."

"And there’s the Wuling Building Master of Tianyin Building’s Thunder Domain branch."

"The City Lord of Tiger Roar City, Chai Chong, is also here."

"Look, that person is from Daoshi City.

"..."

"So many powerful figures! To think they all came to Hongmeng City."

"They probably have ill intentions!"

For ordinary cultivators, figures like Wuling and Chai Chong indeed count as big figures. Moreover, not only are their identities special, but their personal strength is also at the Immortal Venerable Realm.

Dingyun City is the only three-star city in the Thunder Domain.

And Dingyun City belongs to a very powerful family in Kunling Heaven. You should understand that, in the Primordial Chaos Immortal Domain, family forces generally find it very hard to be exceptionally strong. Because, the stronger the cultivator, the harder it is to reproduce offspring. This results in any family force not having too many members in its direct lineage.

For example, take Faro Heaven; many family forces there can only occupy a piece of land in a Divine Continent to become a Lord Family. Moreover, these Lord Families must recruit guests to avoid annihilation.

It can be said that even a family created by an Immortal Emperor finds it difficult to truly compete with those superpowers.

But the Sima Family from Kunling Heaven is an exception. The Sima Family is a family force, but its foundation and strength are no worse than those of superpowers. The Ancestor of the Sima Family is an Immortal Emperor. But the Sima Family’s strength is not solely because their family Ancestor is an Immortal Emperor. Within the Sima Family, there are many experts at the Immortal Venerable Realm, and they even have some top-tier experts at the Immortal Venerable Peak.

The man in black who entered Hongmeng City and was surrounded by the crowd is a direct lineage member of the Sima Family. His cultivation is also at the Immortal Venerable Peak Realm. Dingyun City is a three-star city and a very important stake for the Sima Family in the Thunder Domain. So, of course, this family sent highly capable family members to guard Dingyun City. This person’s name is Sima Rongjie.

"Brother Sima, shall we go directly to the Cultivation Tower to take a look?" Wuling Building Master asked with a smile, inquiring about Sima Rongjie’s intentions.

"Hmm? Our purpose coming here this time is to cultivate in the Hongmeng Cultivation Tower. Naturally, we should go to the Cultivation Tower," Sima Rongjie nodded slightly, speaking in a cold voice.

"Yes! Yes!" Wuling Building Master nodded repeatedly.

The group consisted of about fifty people, most of whom were members of various forces. Some were members of major forces like Wuling and Chai Chong, while others were leaders of smaller forces. The role of Tianyin Building in connecting them was crucial. If not for Tianyin Building, it would be difficult to gather these people together.

Their true purpose in coming to Hongmeng City this time was to destroy the Hongmeng Cultivation Tower. The higher-ups of Tianyin Building were somewhat furious; they didn’t want to see Hongmeng City developing like this, as it would damage Tianyin Building’s reputation. However, Tianyin Building also didn’t want to make their actions too blatant, so they involved the Sima Family, with the Sima Family ostensibly at the helm. The Sima Family, in turn, didn’t resist much. Perhaps the Sima Family had already gained substantial benefits from Tianyin Building.

If Tianyin Building had not negotiated well with the Sima Family, they wouldn’t dare to casually use members of the Sima Family as pawns.

The crowd didn’t take much time to reach outside the Hongmeng Cultivation Tower. When they arrived at the Hongmeng Cultivation Tower, Tower Master Luo Hao was already waiting outside.

Luo Hao smiled and said to these dozens of extraordinary cultivators, "It’s indeed an honor for Hongmeng City to have you all visit us."
