Chapter 4957

Kai was shocked when he heard this. Fortunately, he hadn’t revealed too much in the Purgatory Field—only the Demon Suppression Tower.

He had kept the God King Bow, Dragon Pattern Bell, Demon Whip, and other treasures hidden.

Not to mention the Fire Kirin and the Sky Devouring Beast. If all of those had been exposed, it would have caused a major stir.

“You can enter the tower to cultivate, but there are no resources inside. So, if you want to train there, you must bring enough resources with you,” Kai said.

Although one year outside equals a hundred years inside the tower, without a century’s worth of resources, staying inside that long would be pointless.

“Don’t worry about that, brother. The resources of my Rhino City are at your disposal. I’ll prepare everything myself,” Gadfly assured him.

As the city lord, Gadfly naturally had far greater resources than most.

“As long as you bring your own resources, it’s none of my concern,” Kai said indifferently.

“Thank you, brother. Let me toast you…”

Gadfly lifted his glass and downed the drink in one go.

Seeing this, Bai Yi turned to Gadfly and said, “City Lord, I have a request—may I speak?”

“Go ahead,” Gadfly replied.

Bai Yi explained the situation with the black market in Rhino City. He wanted to consolidate and take full control of it.

After hearing this, Gadfly nodded and agreed. “No problem. I’ll assign you another squad of soldiers. Anyone who doesn’t comply will be dealt with immediately.”

“Once it’s all under control, I’ll legalize the black market. You won’t have to sneak around anymore.”

“Thank you, City Lord…” Bai Yi quickly stood and raised his glass in gratitude.

“Uncle, you’re the elder brother’s father-in-law, and Old Cow here is the younger brother. He should call you uncle and toast you!” Crazy Immortal reminded him.

When Gadfly realized Bai Yi was actually Kai’s father-in-law, he immediately stood up and said, “Uncle, let me toast you! From now on, only you’ll have control over Rhino City’s black market!”

They had a lively and enjoyable drinking session, and Gadfly even invited Kai to stay at the City Lord’s Mansion.

After all, the conditions in the City Lord’s Mansion were far better than those outside.

That night, Gadfly brought a large number of resources and followed Kai into the Demon Suppression Tower.

Training in the Demon Suppression Tower for just one night was equivalent to cultivating for dozens of days—it was incredibly rewarding.

However, while Kai and Gadfly were cultivating inside the tower, a group of people gathered at the Tianbao Pavilion in Rhino City.

Dozens of gray-robed figures stood assembled, led by none other than the shopkeeper of Tianbao Pavilion.

In his hand, the shopkeeper held a token—the same one that Kai had pawned earlier.

“Tonight, we must succeed. With this token, entering the City Lord’s Mansion will be easy,” he declared.

“If we can capture the young lady and the prince of Rhino City, we’ll have enough leverage to force Gadfly to surrender.”

“If we succeed, we’ll be heroes. The city lord won’t forget our efforts. Rhino City has controlled the Purgatory Field for years and hoarded countless immortal coins.”

“Compared to them, our Feihu City is barely surviving. Everything rides on this one operation.”

The shopkeeper rallied the group with passion.

It turned out he was actually the leader of Feihu City’s spies—an undercover agent who had infiltrated Rhino City years ago and steadily risen to his current position.

No one would have suspected that the respected shopkeeper was a Feihu City spy.

That was why he had willingly paid 10,000 immortal coins for Kai’s token, and then sealed it with a formation to avoid detection by Niu Li.

“Kill, kill, kill…”

The eyes of the Feihu City spies burned with murderous intent.

For years, Rhino City and Feihu City had clashed repeatedly over resources.

The struggle wasn’t limited to conflicts between different tribes—even those within the same tribe fought among themselves. From ancient times to now, it had always been about利益—interest and gain. Even if one became an immortal, this reality wouldn’t change.
