Chapter 875: Chapter 875: There are quite a few people who want to pick up a bargain

The City Lord Mansion has always been the center of Great Yecheng City. Before, Peter Brown could only watch from a distance, but today, he enters as the master himself.

As he walks along, Peter can see that the Mansion is different now, probably due to the cultivators recruited by the Smith Clan and the Wilson Family. However, he shakes his head at the sight of these low-level cultivators who don’t have a single person above the Golden Core Stage.

Considering the circumstances of the two families, it was already difficult for them to recruit even these people.

"Lord Peter has arrived!"

As soon as someone shouted, the crowd that had been waiting here went quiet. Everyone was probably curious to see what kind of person the new arrival was.

"So young!"

"Only in the Golden Core Stage!"

"Can he really become the City Lord?"

"Has the Great Ye Nation run out of people?"

...

Seeing Peter’s arrival and his cultivation level, people began to whisper among themselves, especially the younger cultivators who were clearly unwilling to accept him.

Peter hears these whispers but says nothing. After all, it’s all about strength here, and without it, no one would accept him.

"Thank you all for coming."

Peter sits down on the City Lord’s throne and smiles as he greets everyone.

"Lord Peter, I heard that you used a magic treasure to repel the cultivators from the Great Purple Kingdom in Skyreach City. Is that true?" A young cultivator emphasizes the words ’magic treasure’ heavily.

Peter looks at the person and smiles, saying: "That’s correct."

As soon as the cultivator hears Peter’s confirmation, he says: "At this critical moment of our Skyreach Kingdom’s existence, every one of us should contribute what we can to defend against our enemies. I believe Lord Peter shares the same thoughts, right?"

Upon hearing these words, Peter knows exactly what this young man is up to - trying to justify taking Peter’s treasures by delegitimizing his low cultivation level.

As he looks at the others, he finds that they all share the same expression.

"Why should I care if Skyreach Kingdom survives or not?" To everyone’s surprise, Peter suddenly utters a statement that leaves everyone dumbfounded.

The young Skyreach Kingdom cultivator was already prepared to continue his arguments, the corner of his mouth revealing a sneer, but Peter’s words stop him in his tracks.

"You...aren’t you a citizen of Skyreach Kingdom? How can you not love your own country!?"

In a rage, the young cultivator points at Peter and yells.

But Peter calmly replies, "What does the Cultivation World prioritize? It prioritizes strength, power, and the strong. With strength, you can control a country or even multiple countries. Without strength, how can you control a country? As for our people, if Skyreach Kingdom cannot protect them, let it perish. Naturally, someone more capable will succeed."

Peter’s words are almost blasphemous, and many cultivators glare at him with hostility.

An elderly cultivator angrily stares at Peter, saying: "How can you be disloyal to your own country!?"

Peter snorts and asks, "I’d like to ask you, are you loyal to your people or to your country?"

No one had ever asked such a question before, leaving the elderly cultivator speechless. After a moment of hesitation, he says: "Is there a difference?"

"Of course. As powerful cultivators, we have our responsibility to be loyal to the people. But as cultivators, why should we be loyal to a country?"

Peter’s earth-shattering words make everyone pause for thought, many starting to contemplate the implications.

"You dare to utter such words! The Skyreach Kingdom hasn’t fallen yet, and Prince Henry Taylor is still fighting fiercely against the Spring Kingdom. You betrayed your own country!" The young cultivator once again roars angrily.

"Stop yelling! Look at the state of our country right now, with various princes fighting for power and gains, showing no concern for the people. Who is fighting for the people’s well-being? Why should such princes represent the country? What kind of benefits can these power struggles bring to ordinary people? In my heart, there is no place for such princes and such a country. I will only be loyal to the people."

This is Peter’s declaration, and he will no longer follow these selfish power-seekers.

Actually, as Peter expected, many among the assemblage were eyeing the magic treasures in Peter’s hands. They wanted to suppress Peter with their so-called righteousness and snatch the treasures from him.

Everyone had already made plans to jointly force Peter to obey their commands, secretly dividing among themselves the treasures that would be obtained. To them, Peter was just a person in the Golden Core Stage, not worth considering.

However, to everyone’s surprise, Peter doesn’t follow their script, uttering unexpected words that leave them dumbstruck. He is determined to stand on his own.

"I’ll kill you, you disloyal traitor!" A middle-aged cultivator lunges at Peter.

"That’s right, kill him!"

A young Nascent Soul Expert also rushes forward.

"Such a disloyal person must die!" Another middle-aged Nascent Soul Expert joins the fray.

It’s obvious they’re all just looking for an excuse. Since Peter provided one, they want to kill him and take his treasures for themselves.

One by one, the powerful cultivators charge, all hoping to be the first to seize Peter’s magic treasures.

Seeing their actions, Peter smiles: "I knew your intentions from the beginning. You want to kill me? You are not qualified!"

The whole incident happens so fast, with everyone moving to attack as soon as they’ve finished speaking. They are already in front of Peter when he points at one of the Nascent Soul old men.

He’s actually going to confront a Nascent Soul Expert head-on!

Seeing Peter’s stance, the cultivators that were about to pounce hold their steps and try to guess the outcome of Peter’s action.

Most people present have never seen Peter’s skills before. His bold action silences the previously chaotic hall, with only a few hostile experts still lunging at him.
