"Hard to say."
"If no other factions intervene and it comes down to raw strength alone, the Starfield Master Realm is naturally the stronger side."
"However, the Tantai Heavenly Clan, the Jiaoli Heavenly Clan, the Celestial Beast Clan, and the Nightmare Ghost Clan have been on very close terms with the Linghu Heavenly Clan. They've likely already formed an alliance."
"The war has only just begun, and they haven't made their move yet. But sooner or later, they will. So the outcome of this battle is far from certain." The City Lord of Ancestral Martial Dragon City spoke.
"If that's the case, then things get interesting." A faint arc curled at the corner of the City Lord of the Sacred Beast City's lips.
This battle that would determine the future of the Ancestral Martial Starfield didn't concern her in the slightest. She found it more entertaining than anything else.
That couldn't really be blamed on her. After all, for the three great cities, it didn't matter whether the Linghu Heavenly Clan or the Starfield Master Realm claimed the throne of the Ancestral Martial Starfield — either way, they would have to treat the three cities with the utmost respect.
Within the Ancestral Martial Starfield, no faction dared to move against the three great cities.
"Actually, I think it's the Linghu Heavenly Clan that's gotten anxious. When it comes to talent among the younger generation, Linghu Hongfei is far superior to Wuming Yuanzhi and Wuming Xiongmo."
"As time goes on, that gap will only widen."
"And I've heard that after Linghu Hongfei fought Chu Feng to a draw, he returned to the Linghu Heavenly Clan and entered that Lightning Fire Bloodline Formation."
"Now, he's successfully emerged from the formation. His cultivation will have increased tremendously."
"If the Linghu Heavenly Clan had simply bided their time and waited for Linghu Hongfei to fully mature, the Starfield Master Realm's position would have fallen naturally. There would have been no need to take such a risk now." The City Lord of the Divine Body Royal City spoke.
"Linghu Hongfei's potential was indeed the greatest among the younger generation of the Ancestral Martial Starfield."
"But that was before. Once Chu Feng appeared, the Linghu Heavenly Clan felt threatened." The City Lord of Ancestral Martial Dragon City said.
"No wonder you were willing to take in the ordinary members of the Chu Heavenly Clan into your Ancestral Martial Dragon City, Brother Long. It's because you had your eye on this Chu Feng."
"And I have to say, this kid Chu Feng's potential is truly nothing to scoff at."
"Though when you look at his age, he still falls short of what his father achieved at the same stage, his future accomplishments will be immeasurable." When Chu Feng was mentioned, a look of appreciation surfaced on the face of the City Lord of the Divine Body Royal City.
"City Lord Dragon, you're not one to act on impulse. Taking in the Chu Heavenly Clan — it's not just because you see promise in Chu Feng, is it?" Compared to the City Lord of the Divine Body Royal City, the City Lord of the Sacred Beast City's smile carried a more knowing edge.
"Oh?"
Hearing this, the City Lord of the Divine Body Royal City's gaze toward the City Lord of Ancestral Martial Dragon City shifted.
Faced with the curious looks of both, the City Lord of Ancestral Martial Dragon City smiled faintly and said, "This child will prove very useful."
"Useful how?"
The City Lord of the Divine Body Royal City asked.
The City Lord of the Sacred Beast City continued to regard the City Lord of Ancestral Martial Dragon City with that same curious stare.
"Haha…"
However, this time, faced with the two of them, the City Lord of Ancestral Martial Dragon City simply gave a meaningful laugh and offered no answer.
"Playing it coy, are we? If that's how it's going to be, we won't accompany you. If you want to secretly look after Chu Feng, you can do it yourself." The City Lord of the Sacred Beast City said.
"Who said I'm going to protect this Chu Feng?"
"If I wanted to protect him, I could simply travel alongside him and guard him openly. Why would I need to follow him in secret?" The City Lord of Ancestral Martial Dragon City said.
"Come on, Brother Long, what exactly are you up to that you insist on dragging the two of us along with you?" The City Lord of the Divine Body Royal City asked.
"You just mentioned hearing that Linghu Hongfei emerged from the bloodline formation with a massive boost in cultivation."
