Chapter 292: Disturbance

"Have you heard?"

"Three months ago, Bai Bao Ge suddenly attacked Dongxuan City, and that phenomenon before was caused by the battle between Bai Bao Ge and Dongxuan City."

"Hehe, who doesn't know that? I heard it was because Bai Bao Ge coveted the things in Dongxuan City, so they took action against Dongxuan City."

"Ah? Didn't Bai Bao Ge always claim to be a neutral faction? How could they do such a thing?"

"Hey, look at how naive you are, you believe in neutral factions? If they destroy you without letting outsiders know, aren't they still a neutral faction?"

"Exactly, who knows how many factions Bai Bao Ge has secretly destroyed for its own interests before."

"Who says it isn't? Look, they failed now, right? I heard that many Bai Bao Ge branch pavilions have been closed."

"Yes, Bai Bao Ge is miserable this time, being suppressed by so many factions."

"What you said is nothing? Hehe, do you know that Dongxuan City has at least two Lower Grade Spirit Treasures."

"Lower Grade Spirit Treasure? And two of them? Really?"

The matter of Bai Bao Ge attacking Dongxuan City had already caused a stir.

Only three months had passed.

If it weren't for the concern that Bai Bao Ge was a neutral faction, rashly offending Bai Bao Ge would lead it to lean towards its hostile factions.

But later, as Bai Bao Ge's scale grew larger and larger, it snatched quite a bit of profit from these factions.

"Of course it's true, this matter has already spread everywhere."

"Heh, so what? Dongxuan City has two Lower Grade Spirit Treasures, what does it have to do with us rogue cultivators? Do you have the ability to snatch them over?"

After the incident spread.

Previously, because of concern for Bai Bao Ge's strength, they gave Bai Bao Ge face.

The Nascent Soul-level factions that were already dissatisfied with Bai Bao Ge tacitly expelled the Bai Bao Ge branch pavilions within their borders one after another and began to suppress Bai Bao Ge's forces.

Bai Bao Ge with a Lower Grade Spirit Treasure sitting in town and Bai Bao Ge without one were very different.

Plus Bai Bao Ge's arrogant behavior at the Dongxuan Auction.

Bai Bao Ge possessing a Lower Grade Spirit Treasure was not a secret among the factions that had been inherited for a long time in Star Fall Continent.

"Uh? Seems like it!"

Therefore, although through the information probed near Dongxuan City, these factions obtained some guesses.

That was why they allowed Bai Bao Ge branch pavilions to settle in their own sphere of influence.

These factions that were dissatisfied with Bai Bao Ge had long since withdrawn the Bai Bao Ge branch pavilions within their sphere of influence.

It had long since caused secret dissatisfaction among these Nascent Soul-level factions.

Now Bai Bao Ge's attack on Dongxuan City failed, and its mask as a neutral faction was torn off.

Among them, there was certainly the credit of Dongxuan City's special publicity, but it was also inseparable from the pushing of some people with ulterior motives in the dark.

At the same time, they were also testing Bai Bao Ge to confirm the conjecture in their hearts.

For a time, all Nascent Soul-level factions in Star Fall Continent tacitly began to expel the Bai Bao Ge branch pavilions within their sphere of influence one after another.

But they still wanted to test Bai Bao Ge to confirm the conjecture in their hearts.

For a time, Bai Bao Ge's industry in Star Fall Continent was directly halved.

If it weren't for some small and medium-sized factions, because there were no Nascent Soul experts sitting in town, they did not dare to expel Bai Bao Ge branch pavilions.

Bai Bao Ge's industry share in Star Fall Continent would have lost even more.

Suffering suppression from multiple factions, Bai Bao Ge's industry retreated steadily.

In anger, Bai Bao Ge directly exposed the matter that Dongxuan City possessed at least two Lower Grade Spirit Treasures.

Wanting to use this to divert attention and reduce its own pressure.

Unfortunately, the matter of Dongxuan City possessing two Lower Grade Spirit Treasures, although as Bai Bao Ge wished, caused a stir in Star Fall Continent.

But the power of Lower Grade Spirit Treasures was not something that these factions with only Nascent Soul experts sitting in town could covet.

Although this news did cause these factions to look sideways.

But it did not make these factions change their targets and relax their suppression of Bai Bao Ge.

Moreover, Bai Bao Ge exposing that Dongxuan City now possessed at least two Lower Grade Spirit Treasures further confirmed the conjecture of the major factions in Star Fall Continent.

Bai Bao Ge's Lower Grade Spirit Treasure was indeed suppressed by Dongxuan City.

At that time, Ye Qingxuan used the Star Light Hall to confront the Heaven-Shaking Bell, although it was witnessed by many cultivators.

But the Dao rhymes erupted from the confrontation of Lower Grade Spirit Treasures were not something ordinary cultivators could see through.

So no cultivator witnessed the process of the Star Light Hall finally suppressing the Heaven-Shaking Bell.

Therefore, the information obtained by those Nascent Soul factions through subsequent investigation.

Although they had guesses in their hearts, they could not be sure.

Now Bai Bao Ge exposed that Dongxuan City possessed at least two Lower Grade Spirit Treasures, which could be considered lifting a rock only to drop it on their own feet.

Once this news came out, the suppression of Bai Bao Ge by Nascent Soul-level factions in Star Fall Continent not only did not weaken but became more active.

They could not afford to provoke Dongxuan City, but they could add insult to injury to Bai Bao Ge, which had provoked public anger.

They also did not dare to attack Bai Bao Ge's main base directly.

After all, even if Bai Bao Ge really lost the Lower Grade Spirit Treasure sitting in town, its own strength was not to be trifled with.

More than twenty Supreme Pavilion Masters of the Nascent Soul Realm, just in terms of the number of Nascent Soul Venerables, were enough to rank in the top three of Star Fall Continent's factions.

However, although they did not dare to attack Bai Bao Ge's main base.

But for every extra industry of Bai Bao Ge outside the main base they suppressed, they could gain an extra portion of profit.

Having finally obtained this long-awaited opportunity, they were unwilling to give up so easily.

As long as the people of Bai Bao Ge did not come out in full force.

Within their own sphere of influence, they were not afraid of Bai Bao Ge's counterattack.

Moreover, at this critical moment, these factions concluded that Bai Bao Ge's experts would not easily leave the main base.

The facts were indeed as they expected.

After several months of suppression, Bai Bao Ge had been shrinking its industry outside its sphere of influence.

And did not choose to fight hard with the major factions.

Star Fall City, in the City Lord's Mansion.

Guard Team commander Bai Li walked into the small courtyard where Lord Xingze was, and bowed respectfully:

"City Lord, the Bai Bao Ge branch pavilions within the city and within a million miles outside the city have all been expelled."

At this time, Lord Xingze was feeding the dragon fish in the water pool.

Hearing Bai Li's words, Lord Xingze nodded nonchalantly and said indifferently:

"Understood."

While speaking, Lord Xingze did not stop the feeding action.

In fact, Lord Xingze was not too concerned about expelling the Bai Bao Ge branch pavilions.

Expelling the Bai Bao Ge branch pavilions, he was just following the trend.

Over the past thousand years, Bai Bao Ge's development was indeed fast, but it was still far from enough to make Star Fall City wary.

Compared to Bai Bao Ge, what really made Lord Xingze wary was Dongxuan City, which had only appeared for a few hundred years.

With the strength and foundation shown by Dongxuan City, it already had the qualifications to challenge Star Fall City's status.

Seeing Lord Xingze somewhat nonchalant, Bai Li asked:

"City Lord, does Star Fall City need to take any action regarding the rumors that have been causing a stir in Star Fall Continent recently?"

Hearing this, Lord Xingze pondered for a moment and shook his head:

"No need to pay attention, strength is the foundation of everything; the time is not yet ripe, now is not the time for us to appear."

After speaking, Lord Xingze turned to look at Bai Li and ordered:

"You go down first! Just maintain the order of Star Fall City, from today on, do not come to disturb me unless necessary."

Hearing Lord Xingze's order, Bai Li said respectfully:

"Yes, City Lord!"

After speaking, he retreated directly.

After Bai Li left, Lord Xingze continued to feed the dragon fish in the pool.

And with Lord Xingze's feeding, a faint prototype of the rules of the Dao was emerging around the dragon fish, constantly evolving in Lord Xingze's eyes.
