Chapter 880: Chapter 880: Ceasefire

On the morning of the second day, as Peter Brown was pondering on what to do about recruiting disciples from the Shimmering Light Immortal Sect, Maureen Martin walked in with a smile on her face.

"Husband Lord, can you guess what happened?"

Seeing Maureen’s expression, Peter grinned and said, "You, you have some good news."

At that moment, sisters Isabella Turner and Victoria Turner walked in joyfully.

Isabella called out from a distance, "Husband Lord, the war has stopped, the war has stopped."

"What do you mean the war has stopped?"

Seeing their expressions, Peter became curious.

Maureen said, "Various powers have reached a common agreement, a ceasefire will begin today, and no one is allowed to launch an attack first, otherwise, they will bear the attacks from all the other powers. Spring Kingdom proposed this ceasefire, and after paying cultivation coins, it was approved by the Shimmering Light Immortal Sect, meaning that the Shimmering Light Immortal Sect supports this ceasefire."

Such a thing happened!

Peter, of course, understood the importance of this. Getting the support and approval of the Shimmering Light Immortal Sect meant that whoever dared to attack first would likely have to bear the attacks from Shimmering Light Immortal Sect, no wonder everyone’s expression was so excited now.

The Shimmering Light Immortal Sect’s power was too vast, so there’s no thought of resistance in front of them.

Peter now also had thoughts of joining the Shimmering Light Immortal Sect for development, as Auster seemed too small for him.

"Husband Lord, now there’s time for development, and I believe that when the war resumes in half a year, our power will be even stronger, and we will not have to worry about attacks from other countries." Isabella seemed quite relaxed.

"Why did everyone propose a ceasefire?" Peter asked again.

Victoria smiled and said, "Husband Lord, don’t you know? Once everyone started registering for the disciple competition, the situation changed. You can imagine how many people will register. If the two sides of the war were to attack each other, those who registered from the attacked side might encounter adverse situations. What could happen if the registrants were killed?"

Peter understood and laughed, "That makes sense. It is indeed such a situation, no one would dare to start a war at that time, and those who killed the opposite side’s registered disciples might face the Shimmering Light Immortal Sect’s attack. It’s a dangerous situation."

Isabella also laughed, "Exactly, that’s why all the big countries proposed the ceasefire to avoid trouble."

Maureen said, "Husband Lord, the registration fee is a thousand cultivation coins per person. Although we have quite a lot of money, it is necessary to pay this amount for our development. Those who joined us asked if the city lord’s mansion would pay for them?"

Hearing this, Peter waved his hand and said, "Everyone should strive for their own opportunities; our city lord’s mansion will not pay for anyone."

What a joke!

Peter knew that if it was a thousand cultivation coins per person, the economy of his city would be ruined by this expenditure. It was not something he could do.

Maureen hesitated and said, "Many people joined Great Yecheng City probably because of this. If we don’t pay the registration fee, I’m afraid they will leave."

"Announce that Great Yecheng City does not restrict anyone from leaving. Those who want to leave can leave freely."

These were just some low-level cultivators, and Peter didn’t think much of them. Now was a good time to clean up the ranks.

"If that’s the case, I estimate a large number of people will leave?" Isabella hesitated; after all, paid registration was a benefit granted by various powers.

Peter said, "Do you think our Great Yecheng City’s power exists because of them participating?"

Victoria earnestly said, "Husband Lord, you are right. Today’s power of Great Yecheng City is mainly because of the Husband Lord’s existence. Without his strong power, our power would be nothing. So, as long as Husband Lord is here, we have enough power and we don’t need Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators who think they are important."

Peter said, "Now is the time for the ceasefire and we should focus on development. As Daisy said, Great Yecheng City is not something that anyone can attack. Opportunists who join us are not needed. Just announce this and let people come and go freely."

"Husband Lord, you have given out elixirs, do you want to take them back?"

Peter laughed, "We have no shortage of elixirs. Just treat the elixirs we have given as a parting gift, there’s no need to take them back. I want to see what choice they will make."

"Husband Lord, should we register?" Isabella asked.

"How hopeful are you all?" Peter asked.

Isabella said, "We have no confidence, and we haven’t thought about going for it. The main purpose of our registration is to defend our Great Yecheng City."

Peter nodded slightly; one reason for the ceasefire was the presence of registered disciples who competed for a higher position in the city. Great Yecheng City indeed needed some registered disciples.

Victoria said, "Husband Lord, we won’t use the city lord’s mansion’s funds to register ourselves. We have some savings and will pay for our registration."

Peter handed each of them a jade bottle and said, "Take these elixirs to auction or something. Once you have the money, go register."

Maureen opened the jade bottle and saw twenty elixirs inside. Taking a closer look, she was surprised, "These are True Essence Pills! Husband Lord, this is worth more than a thousand cultivation coins. Just one pill can be exchanged for ten-thousands of cultivation coins."

Isabella also saw that there were twenty pills in her jade bottle and said, "Husband Lord, let’s auction off one pill each. At that time, we will have at least 30,000 cultivation coins, which is enough to help many people register."

As long as they did not use the funds from the city lord’s mansion, Peter didn’t mind them auctioning the pills and using the money they got to help others register.

"Husband Lord, do you want us to register for you?"

Shaking his head, Peter said, "I will certainly participate in the competition, but I won’t register now. Besides, I plan to join later, observing from afar at first."

Victoria said, "Experts usually enter the last batch. If you enter in the last one or two months, it should be safer."

Peter nodded and said, "Recently, I might be in closed-door cultivation, you should all be careful."

Knowing that Peter’s strength is the guarantee for the security of Great Yecheng City, everyone understood his need for closed-door cultivation.

Isabella said, "Don’t worry, Husband Lord, the three of us sisters will handle Great Yecheng City well."

"Collect the materials I asked you to, and if you lack funds, let me know and I’ll provide some more elixirs for auction." Peter thought about the situation on Earth and knew he had to collect more materials.

"Husband Lord, we still have a lot of cultivation coins from the last auction, enough for now."
