Chapter 480 Brother
"Thank you!" Chao Bufan nodded and said, "It is only polite to reciprocate. Since the city lord is so magnanimous, I will pass on some Taoist techniques that you can learn."
As he spoke, Chao Bufan flicked his finger and sent a tiny white ball of light into the city lord's spiritual platform. Then he took out a section of ten-thousand-year-old ginseng root and said, "This is a section of ten-thousand-year-old ginseng root. It can enhance and consolidate your cultivation. As long as you slowly digest the information I have sent into your body, your cultivation will be enhanced to the maximum extent."
The city lord unceremoniously accepted the piece of the ten-thousand-year-old ginseng root and said, "Thank you. Chao Bufan, from now on, you will be the deputy city lord of Guling City."
Chao Bufan smiled slightly. The city lord put a hand on Chao Bufan's shoulder and said, "If you don't mind, you can call me Big Brother from now on! After all, I'm older than you."
Chao Bufan smiled and said, "I should be the one saying that. It is my greatest honor to have a city lord as my elder brother."
Chao Bufan called out from the bottom of his heart. Anyway, he felt that calling him "Big Brother" wouldn't cost him anything, and it would give him a powerful backer! Why not?
Upon hearing this, the city lord was overjoyed and laughed heartily, "Excellent! From tonight onwards, the entire Ancient Spirit City and Black House Mountain will belong to us brothers."
Chao Bufan suddenly remembered something and quickly said, "Brother, I have something I'd like to ask you."
The city lord said, "Brother, it's too formal to ask for your advice. Just ask whatever you need, no need to be polite."
Chao Bufan nodded, then asked, "Brother, do you know anything about the Bible?"
"The Bible?" The city lord seemed a little slow to react, then shook his head and said, "I don't know anything about it, I've never heard of it."
Chao Bufan nodded and asked, "Have you ever heard of the four guardian deities of the West: wind, rain, thunder, and lightning?"
Upon hearing this, the city lord nodded and said, "I do know a little about this, but it's just a myth and legend. After all, no one has ever seen it."
Chao Bufan felt a surge of anger and fear at the thought of the four guardian deities. He was angry because they had almost killed him last time; he was afraid of their power, which still sent chills down his spine. Thankfully, they hadn't gone all out, and thankfully, the four guardian beasts—Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and the others—had appeared in time to save his life. Otherwise, he would have been dead long ago. He gave a bitter smile and said, "It's true, I've seen them."
"What?" The city lord was taken aback and exclaimed in surprise, "Brother, you, you've seen the four guardian deities of wind, rain, thunder, and lightning?"
Chao Bufan grunted in agreement and said, "I've not only seen him, but I've also fought against Thor."
"Hiss~" The city lord suddenly gasped, his face filled with disbelief, "No way? The four guardian deities of wind, rain, thunder, and lightning are gods of our West, do they really exist?"
Chao Bufan nodded, then smiled bitterly and said, "If it weren't for my good fortune and luck, I would have really lost my life in Thor's hands back then. Also, the timely appearance of the four ancient divine beasts of our Eastern Realm saved my life. Otherwise, I would have been dead long ago."
Upon hearing this, the city lord shook his head and said, "I never imagined they actually existed. I only knew it was just a myth, a legend, and no one has ever witnessed it. Bufan, how did you offend them?"
"Phew~" Chao Bufan let out a long sigh and said, "I didn't offend them. It was a man named Williams who summoned them with a magic stone."
"Are you talking about dark magic crystals?" the city lord asked in surprise.
Chao Bufan said, "I think so! Anyway, Williams took out a black magic stone, recited a few summoning incantations, and the four guardian gods of wind, rain, thunder and lightning appeared."
The city lord said with a look of alarm, "Black magic crystals are only found in Black House Mountain, and this thing does indeed have the function of summoning. Oh no—" The city lord suddenly exclaimed, and his whole body began to become agitated. He said in a panic, "If that's really the case, then we're in danger."
Chao Bufan suddenly realized the seriousness of the matter; if that were the case, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Let's go," the city lord said urgently, "let's go take a look."
At the foot of the ancient Lingcheng Mountain, hundreds of thousands of ancient Lingcheng soldiers stood in perfect formation, ready for battle.
When Chao Bufan saw such a massive army, he was utterly shocked. "My goodness! This isn't just any army, it's practically a celestial army!" Even a single soldier in such a vast army possessed incredible strength.
No wonder Bridal and the others were worried about ending up as lowly soldiers after graduation; now they know why. Graduates of the academy, if lucky, might find a position of some rank in Ancient City, finally able to hold their heads high. If unlucky, they'd only be fit to be lowly soldiers in the army. Just imagine, what kind of army would a massive force whose individual members were all stronger than high-level mages? If this were in any country, wouldn't they dominate the earth? It would be defying the heavens, wouldn't it?
Seeing such a powerful army for the first time, Chao Bufan was truly taken aback. Fortunately, they did not belong to any country; otherwise, other countries would have no choice but to submit.
After a brief moment of shock, Chao Bufan quickly came to his senses, realizing that he had gotten a great deal!
However, before Chao Bufan could feel a surge of joy, all the leaders of Guling City respectfully greeted him, "City Lord."
However, when they saw that Chao Bufan had appeared with the city lord and was standing together, everyone was obviously stunned. But before they could think any further, the city lord nodded, staring at the scene in front of him, and asked with a solemn expression, "What's the situation?"
"Lord, the enemy's attacks seem to have weakened, and they appear to be retreating," Louis quickly replied, his eyes intentionally or unintentionally glancing at Chao Bufan.
“Since we’re going to launch a full-scale attack, these small skirmishes will naturally be less intense,” the city lord said, glancing at Louis with a grave expression. “Elder, give the order to prepare for the attack. Kressdorf, go and inform the Earth Dragons to return to Magic Canyon.”
The two responded and then left together.
“Brother,” the city lord continued, “how do you think we should fight this battle?”
Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan smiled slightly and said, "Brother, to be honest, I really didn't know."
However, when everyone heard the city lord call Chao Bufan "brother" and Chao Bufan call the city lord "elder brother," they were all shocked and looked at each other, completely bewildered.
