The Northern Plains City Lord's stance left everyone baffled.
There was some confusion too.
Northern Plains City sits a thousand miles outside the ice plain, with no other factions around.
There shouldn't be any conflict of interest.
Yet as soon as Bei Feng arrived, he drew a firm line between himself and the Cloud Phoenix Empire.
Something was definitely off.
Bei Feng seemed to see through their doubts and said with a smile, "As the first line of defense in the Northern Region, Northern Plains City has always blocked magical beasts sneaking out from the ice plain."
"So, we're not looking for war. We just want to develop peacefully."
"But the Cloud Phoenix Empire's rebuilding is clearly aimed at reigniting the Heavenly Road campaign, which clashes with our philosophy in Northern Plains City."
Some nodded, while others frowned.
Nobody bought Bei Feng's story.
Bei Feng went on, "Besides, now that the Cloud Phoenix Empire's been rebuilt, obviously, it'll be overlooked."
