Chapter 4828 There Is Always a Way Out

"Sir, that madman is not easy to mess with." A subordinate said.

"No matter how difficult he is, can he be more difficult than us?" The man from the Sunset Family said coldly: "In Xindu, if a casual cultivator offends our Sunset Family, he must be destroyed. This place should not exist long ago. If this place is demolished, it will be useless even if they report it to the city lord."

That's right!

The city lord has long wanted to demolish this place, so if someone demolishes this place, the city lord will be happy, so how can he blame him.

At Brother Feng's home.

"The wine is good, strong enough." Xia Tian smiled slightly.

"As long as you like it, sir." Brother Feng said.

"I like it, of course I like it, as long as it is wine, I like it." Xia Tian is a person who loves alcohol, and he has no resistance to good wine.

"Sir, you are here to participate in the Xindu competition this time." Brother Feng drank a glass of wine.

"Yes, I heard that this Xindu competition is very lively, so I came to take a look." Xia Tian said.

"Yes, Xindu Competition is the most lively competition. It is held once every ten years. Every time, countless people come. However, for ordinary people, it is enough to get a similar title. The people on the real silver list will hardly change. At most, only one or two people will go up each time, and these people are also recruited by those big families in the middle of the process." Brother Feng said.

"Oh? Aren't there any powerful casual cultivators?" Xia Tian asked.

"First of all, it is difficult for casual cultivators to become masters, because without the support of big families and big forces, cultivation itself is very difficult. Secondly, even if you have strength, it is easy to dodge an open spear, but it is difficult to defend against a hidden arrow. If you damage other people's interests, will others let you go?" Brother Feng reminded. He could see that Xia Tian was not an ordinary person.

So he was reminding Lin Feng to either find a big family as a backer.

Or try to be low-key and never fight for that title.

Otherwise, you will only lose your life.

"You mean, as long as a casual cultivator has the strength to enter the silver list, then if he does not join some big families, he will die, right?" Xia Tian asked.

"That's right. Although the City Lord's Mansion pays special attention to this matter every year and conducts very strict inspections, there is no such thing as impenetrable. The benefits brought by the Silver List are too great. It is the lifeline of the entire Xindu. Everyone only recognizes the Silver List, so as long as you enter the Silver List, a family can be glorious for ten years. Once you enter the top three of the Silver List, the family will rise instantly and become the first on the Silver List. Then the family can soar to the sky within ten years." Brother Feng patiently told Xia Tian what he knew.

He was obviously repaying Xia Tian's kindness.

Xia Tian cured his mother, so he wanted to remind Xia Tian of these things.

Lest Xia Tian lose his life here.

"Doesn't the City Lord's Mansion care?" Xia Tian asked.

"Of course it does. The City Lord hopes that more powerful people will appear to compete for him, so he naturally hopes that there will be no mistakes. But no matter what the City Lord's Mansion does, it is impossible to really avoid trouble. Those big families will use all means to destroy those who block their way. Even if you are a threat, the people who want to kill you are all the big families in the entire Xindu." Brother Feng said.

"It seems that this Xindu competition is far more complicated than I imagined." Xia Tian said.

"Of course, I once wanted to get the title of mercenary, but then I gave up." Brother Feng shook his head and took a big sip of wine.

"Why?" Xia Tian asked.

"It's very simple. If I take it, I will block other people's way and I can't protect the poor area. I am not alone behind me. Although I am not afraid, I have to consider the more than 300,000 people in the poor area." Brother Feng said.

"By the way, I wanted to ask before, such a big first city, the City Lord's Mansion can't have no idea of ​​developing here, but why is it still like this?" Xia Tian asked puzzled.

Normally, Xindu is the center of the entire Xincheng area, and it should be very prosperous.

But there is such a backward place here.

"The city lord came here in person, but he meant to expel all the people in Xindu and build a commercial street here. If all 30 people were expelled, where would they live and how would they survive? Even if they were given money, what would happen? Go live in other cities? But other cities also have population restrictions, and in the end these people will become wild cultivators, or can only be bullied in free cities." Brother Feng gritted his teeth and said.

This is also the main reason why he protects the poverty-stricken areas.

He doesn't want these 300,000 people to be displaced.

"Can't we plan a part of the area for living and another part for commercial streets?" Xia Tian asked.

"Impossible, the investment figures are very huge. If we stay, other big families will not invest. They want the whole place, not us as a burden." Brother Feng said.

When Xia Tian heard this, he understood.

Although the city lord wanted to develop here.

But the city lord couldn't come up with that much money, so he could only let the big families invest, but the big families also gave conditions. If the 300,000 people in the poverty-stricken areas don't leave the city, they won't invest.

Normally.

A city as big as Xindu shouldn't be short of money.

But in fact, cities like Xindu are the most short of money.

Because they have a lot of troops, these troops require a lot of resources, and almost all the taxes collected by Xindu every year are used on those troops.

Xindu is close to the desert, so it is always in war.

If there is no strong army to guard it, it would definitely not be so peaceful.

Among the ten continents of the Secret Desert, Xindu is the second to last in poverty.

The poverty-stricken area is very large.

If such a large area is developed, it will cost a lot of money, and the final settlement cost of 300,000 people is also very high.

No matter from which aspect, this will be a big number.

"Have you ever thought about developing this place yourself?" Xia Tian asked.

"It's too difficult. The reason why people in the poverty-stricken area are so poor is because they are embarrassed by the major families. The work we do is the hardest and most tiring, but the money we earn is the least. It's good enough for us to practice, and don't even think about any development opportunities." Feng Ge shook his head helplessly.

"Don't be discouraged, maybe there will be a chance, after all, there is always a way out." Xia Tian said.

Tap tap tap!

There were hurried footsteps.

"Oh no, Brother Feng, there's a fire outside, fire everywhere."

"What?" Brother Feng stood up and was about to run outside.

But he was stopped by Xia Tian.
