Immortality, but people in primitive society

Chapter 475 Don’t Die

Night falls in the woods outside the south city.

Bai Tian looked at the pills and sword in his hands with a serious expression. He still couldn't figure out what Nan Cheng was going to do and why he was distributing pills and weapons to young people.

If there is a conspiracy, it is too obvious. People in other cities in Jiuzhou should have been able to get some information, right?

But to say there is no conspiracy is too abnormal. Could it be that other cities in Kyushu are also developing in this way?

After ten or twenty years, Jiuzhou has developed to this level?

The spiritual energy contained in the distributed elixirs was not strong, and their greatest use was probably to replenish strength when injured. The weapons distributed were not particularly sophisticated, but they were usable.

"Su Ling, let's go to the City Lord's Mansion again. I want to get to the bottom of this."

When it was completely dark, Bai Tian and Su Ling slipped into the city.

After releasing his spiritual sense to investigate, Bai Tian and Su Ling soon landed in a courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion.

This courtyard was also the one where Zhurong and Gonggong were seen during the day.

However, the person living here now is probably not the city lord. In the room is a young man in his thirties, quite powerful, who is currently sitting cross-legged on the bed practicing.

During the day, he walked forward deliberately, and the other party quickly woke up alertly: "Who's outside?"

Walking to the door, Bai Tian pushed it gently, the door opened, and the two walked in.

There was no light inside. The young man on the bed stared at them with a frown on his face. "Who are you?"

Bai Tian stretched out his right hand, and golden light suddenly shone, allowing him to see the other person's face clearly.

The young man was horrified and jumped up from the bed in a hurry: "You are Haotian..."

Seeing that the other party was about to kneel on one knee, Bai Tian gently raised his right hand and said in a low voice: "I am just passing by and want to know some information. Who are you to the city lord?"

"My name is Yingxuan, and the current Zhurong is my father."

Su Ling immediately asked, "You held a ball game in the city and distributed pills and weapons to the young people. Why?"

"This..." Ying Xuan was a little embarrassed by the question.

Bai Tian stared at the other person and said: "I have met the Lord of Jiuli City. If you have anything to say, just tell me directly."

Ying Xuan's expression was slightly complicated, and he said stubbornly: "Haotian, I'll be frank. Nancheng wants to separate from Jiuzhou."

Bai Tian was not surprised at all: "I can see that, but how does this relate to distributing things?"

"If these things aren't distributed, they'll need to be handed over to Yancheng or other cities." Ying Xuan said calmly, "So, my father thought it would be better to distribute them directly to the young people."

Su Ling narrowed her eyes and said, "You're not telling the truth. If other cities knew about this, they would definitely blame you for not handing over the things, right?"

Ying Xuan gritted his teeth and said, "Actually, it's just to deliberately make other cities in Jiuzhou dissatisfied."

As soon as he heard this, Bai Tian understood instantly. He had never thought of this.

Bai Tian sighed, "So you've already made preparations and are planning to leave Jiuzhou within two to three years?"

"Yes!" Ying Xuan did not hide it, "My father's plan is actually to start in the spring of next year..."

Sure enough!

They were deliberately creating loopholes to make other cities in Jiuzhou dissatisfied with Nancheng and provoke disputes. This way, they would have a reason to leave Jiuzhou.

Bai Tian asked again: "After leaving Jiuzhou, what are you going to do?"

Ying Xuan's expression became even more complicated. He glanced at Bai Tian with a hint of guilt, but still answered truthfully: "Within three years, we will establish our own country, called... Nanyue Kingdom."

"Ah? So you have actually already figured it out and even arranged all the timelines?" Su Ling was quite surprised.

Ying Xuan didn't respond and looked very nervous.

Bai Tian's expression was very calm. He had already guessed it from the other party's words that it was a deliberate arrangement.

The preparations for Nancheng should be very thorough and have been going on for a long time.

"Have other cities in Jiuzhou been treating you badly over the years?" Bai Tian asked calmly.

Ying Xuan shook his head slightly. "I don't really understand. I only know that other cities within Jiuzhou have a great prejudice against our Nancheng. Ever since Gonggong, they have seen our Nancheng as... a disaster."

"But have you ever thought about why Gonggong did that back then?" Bai Tian stared at the other person.

Ying Xuan obviously knew everything. He lowered his head slightly and did not dare to respond.

Bai Tian's expression remained calm. "Alright, tell your father. I won't interfere. I just understand the situation, that's all."

Ying Xuan heaved a sigh of relief, and only then dared to sit on the bed again, whispering: "Haotian, in fact, back then, Zhu Rong shouldn't have annexed Nancheng into Jiuzhou."

"Yes, Gonggong was right to sacrifice our Nancheng for the greater good. But later on, Jiuzhou treated us Nancheng unfairly."

"Over the years, Jiuzhou hasn't even given us anything. We in Nancheng are good at cultivating the power of fire, so our ore refining skills are better than any other city in Jiuzhou. We are also good at refining weapons and alchemy."

"For so many years, only our Nancheng has sent resources to Jiuzhou. But in return, other cities have looked down on and cursed us. Moreover, they often send the Heavenly Army to interfere with our city management..."

Bai Tian didn't refute, but just listened quietly. These words were unpleasant to hear, but they were obviously the truth!

The living habits of the people in Nancheng are very different from those in other cities in Jiuzhou. People here don't like to wear clothes. A sense of shame has begun to prevail in Jiuzhou. People here like freedom. While Jiuzhou is becoming more and more restricted...

The struggle for resources was one part, as was the clash of civilizations. It can only be said that Emperor Zhuanxu failed to manage it well.

"Why choose this time?" Bai Tian asked again.

Ying Xuan said calmly, "We have received reliable information that Lord Zhuanxu may not survive this year, so..."

Bai Tian was surprised: "Zhuanxu is not dead yet?"

"Well, he's not dead. It's just that he hasn't been able to come out for a long time, and everything is done by other people." Ying Xuan was a little embarrassed. "Of course, I don't know whether it is true or not. We just got the news."

Bai Tian nodded slightly: "Okay, I think I've figured it out. You explain it to your father. I understand, but I won't interfere and I won't say anything to them."

"I only have one request, don't die out."

After saying that, Bai Tian gave Ying Xuan a smile and then slipped away.

Su Ling also dodged and followed him out. Looking back at the disappearing City Lord's Mansion, Su Ling couldn't help but whispered, "Bai Tian, ​​you really don't care?"

Bai Tian sighed softly, "How can I manage this? In the years to come, Jiuzhou will undoubtedly experience many such conflicts. Even if I step forward as Haotian, can I truly manage this? At least, I currently lack the ability and confidence to do so."

Can you control it for a while, but can you control it forever?

Su Ling frowned and said, "Do you think Nancheng can succeed?"

Bai Tian thought about it and replied, "Yes!"

"Huh? Why?"

"From the excuse they devised, it's clear they're well prepared, and they've prepared for both advances and retreats. Also, if I'm not mistaken, the Jiuli Tribe should provide Nancheng with many mounts. Suling, those elixirs they gave out are actually used to tame mounts..."
