Chapter 138: Discussing the fate of Hangzhou
The next day, news spread throughout the city that Lin Yi, the famous Deadly Heavenly Sword God of the Huashan Sect, was going to speak with the three strongest sects in Hangzhou: Murong of Gusu, Mandala Village, and Guyun Village to discuss the future of the city..
This news caused a furor. Finally, the Heavenly Sword encroached on the cherry of the cake.
In fact, since the defeat of the Eagle Mountain bandits, everyone, with anxiety in their souls, had been expecting something like this. Lin Yi, as soon as he arrived, captured forty-nine cities in the region, destroyed all the bandits, gave a decree on the founding of academies, and now he only had to take over a small patch in the center. If he had left, leaving it untouched, then the whole essence of the campaign would have been tarnished.
Hangzhou was not only the largest city in the region, but also located in a strategically important area. The capture of an area will not be complete until its center belongs to someone else. Not to mention that the remaining forty-nine cities were not much different from villages, while Hangzhou was almost the largest city in the world.
In fact, the conquest of Hangzhou is a greater feat than the capture of all forty-nine cities. And then everyone will definitely have to admit that Huashan owns the region.
In just two months, Lin Yi swept through a bloody storm throughout the conquered territory, exterminating the bandits like cockroaches. He just couldn't leave the center alone.
Everyone understood this. And, nevertheless, they were very worried about the future of the city and themselves. They didn't know what the Heavenly Sword God was going to discuss with the three famous families. Could Huashan drive them away completely??
Are Huashan and the three largest families about to become enemies??
The fate of the entire region and especially the city of Hangzhou depended on this, so everyone was worried. Work in the city came to a standstill, people gathered here and there and discussed each other’s assumptions.
