Chapter 1298: Alliance, Luminous Domain (1)
With the appearance of the old turtle and the retreat of the Dragon Pseudo Emperor, and as the efforts to impede the ancient cities from forming an alliance fell apart, they could no longer afford to provoke Su Yu. At the very least, that was the case for places within the reach of the ancient cities. There, he was harder than even Invincibles to deal with. Such an existence could not be provoked lightly.
Among the crowd that had gathered in the area, there were humans. All of them were experts. They watched in silence with complicated emotions.
When the myriad races threatened to make war on the human race, Su Yu informed them that he only had a father. They could kill his father, but that would also set him free and allow him to go truly wild. That was all.
As for his stance regarding the human race, it was unknown if he had merely said that to fool the myriad races or if he truly believed so. Su Yu was far too fearless compared to any other human. The myriad races might not buy his words entirely, but the price for this gamble was now too high for them to take. There was no need to take such a high risk.
Su Yu started roaring with laughter. He swept his gaze across the gathered ancient cities and announced, "The myriad races no longer have the courage to meddle in our alliance. The dragons have been forced to withdraw. My fellow mayors, does anyone still disagree with the formation of an alliance?"
Nobody said anything.
Su Yu said, "If you agree, I need you to appoint me to an official position in your city. When you find your death qi too much to bear, you may seek help from me. Of course, this does not grant you the license to freely transfer your death qi to me without permission. You still need to bear some of the burden, or you might as well leave the city since you will be essentially useless. If there are no objections, I will consider the Holy City Alliance formally established."
Many of the mayors were already tempted by his offer, including those backed by the major races. Compared to the backing of the major races, the one thing a mayor could truly rely on was their ancient city.
Tian He said, "Mayor Su, allow me to ask one more question. Do you wipe all the slates clean with the formation of this alliance? After all, some of the mayors here might have conflicted with the human race in the past. Some are even backed by the major races..."
The expressions of some mayors changed.
Tian He laughed and continued, "Regardless of their past, we are the same. We are all pitiful souls abandoned by the rest of existence. Our sole goal is our survival. Many of us are people who have been forced to leave our homelands to eke out a living here. We have nobody to rely on. We don't have long to live. We lack heavenly source qi. Because of that, we are forced to work with the divines, devils, or some other major races."
