Eternal life begins with saving my clan

The terrifying day and night battle had caused a lot of panic and fear in the hearts of everyone.

Pushing them to the brink of despair, the thought of their future in the city that was no more peaceful made a lot of people depressed.

If the battle had continued, many people would choose to flee from the city.

Merchants would be scared of doing business in such a toxic environment.

The ordinary mortals would be scared of not getting caught in the crossfire.

Also, the trust they had in the city had gone down the drain.

They realized that the city lord and guards that were to protect them were in cahoots with those causing havoc.

If the people in the government were solely responsible for their misery, why should they stay in such a city?

But the sudden shift in the battle-hardened atmosphere shocked the citizens.

The previously dormant guards worked round the clock to restore the city to order.

Powerful clans from both the core city and inner city gave out relief money and food to the affected families.

Even the Cao clan and the Celestial Heavenly store gave out food.

Destroyed roads and buildings were restored at astonishing speed.

In two weeks, the city had recovered from the battle; the bustling and hustling of the city resumed with more fervor.

However, there was one thing that the people can\'t wrap their heads around.

Who won the battle?

Why was the Celestial Heavenly store and Cao clan still in existence?

Did they resolve their differences amicably, or did a powerful expert come to mediate between them?

Gossip and rumors of various degrees flew back and forth among the people.

Yet, those involved kept quiet and chose to ignore the rumor as a whole.

Since those involved kept mute, the rumors slowly died off, and what kept on trending was the Spirit Comms.

Spirit Comms had become the new reality of the people. They were so engrossed in the novelty of the Spirit Comms that it started to form a hierarchy among the people.

Those who have the Spirit Comms banded together, forming a higher class of people.

In restaurants, taverns, brothels, and others if you don\'t have a Spirit Comms, people would ignore you.

No matter your status or how influential your clan was, if you don\'t have a Spirit Comms, you\'re nothing in Baiyun city.

Things were getting so bad that those from the core city were having hard times.

They were seen as people lesser than those in the slum.

Many young masters and young misses won\'t waste their time going to their friend\'s house if not important.

Talking and gossiping was done on Spirit Comms. You Connect, and if they were to meet in groups, it would happen on the You Connect group chat.

Those who didn\'t have were left behind.

For mercenaries to be employed for a job by any merchant or people, their first requirement was the Spirit Comms; second was their strength.

The Wei clan, Ding clan, and Xue clan were feeling the brunt of this new trend that all their business was running at a loss. The previous city lord family, the Ye clans, were also having a headache.

They saw how their power grasp over the city was slipping out of their hands.

As for the city lord, he was on the brink of life and death.

His situation was so dire that he was bedridden, wrapped in thick bandages.

Two half-step Core Refining experts sat on both of his sides, sending their Qi into his body to push out the destructive sword Qi in his meridian.

As for his cultivation, it was dropping at a rapid speed.

The chaotic sword qi in his body was wreaking havoc in his body, and if not for the two half-step Core Refining experts.

He would have long turned into a corpse.

With the leader of their clan on the brink of death and their various businesses running at a loss.

The Ye clan estate atmosphere was filled with tension.

Their three allies had abandoned them after the battle, leaving them to their crevice.

In a bid of desperation, the secluded Ye clan came out.

Riding a luxurious carriage, a beautiful middle-aged woman looked at the elder sitting across her and asked.

"Will they help us?" She asked.

She was the wife of the city lord.

Since the moment her husband was injured, the administration of the clan fell on her shoulders since their two supreme elders were busy keeping her husband alive.

"Madam... we won\'t know until we try. They are the only neutral clan in the core city, and with how righteous they are, it is highly possible for them to help us," The elder said respectfully.

"I hope they do."

With that, the carriage returned to silence as they rode toward their destination.

After a couple of minutes, they arrived in front of a luxurious estate.

Five stoic guards stood straight at the entrance gate. They stared with a deadpan expression at the carriage\'s arrival.

Creak.

The carriage door opened; the elder came out, followed by the city lord\'s wife.

After seeing the two, the guards had a respectful expression on their faces.

The captain of the guard took a step forward and bowed. "Madam, welcome."

"Thank you. Please announce us," She said calmly.

"We have done that already. Please follow me," The captain responded and turned to lead the duo into the estate.

Meanwhile, the city lord\'s wife and the elder were shocked. The guards never left their post since they arrived.

How did they report their arrival to their clan master?

The two exchanged a subtle glance, and the elder cleared his throat.

"Captain, can I ask? How did you report our arrival without leaving your post?" He asked.

The captain turned and looked at the elder with a proud smile on his face.

"I did it through the Spirit Comms," he said, showing them the small ring on his left finger.
