Capítulo 173: Chapter 23: Hosting a Foundation Establishment Mid Stage Appreciation Banquet_2

Other Golden Core Cultivators coveted Shanyang City, but considering the City Lord's talent, they all eventually chose to forbear.

Unless a Nascent Soul intervened, it was very difficult to kill a Golden Core Late Stage expert; launching an assault on Shanyang City and allowing the City Lord to escape could spell disaster if he truly broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm in the future, bringing calamity upon themselves and their descendants.

Do not bully the young and poor.

This saying was equally applicable in the circles of cultivators.

Especially if one had both talent and strength and couldn't be snuffed out in the cradle, everyone would choose to give such formidable geniuses some leeway.

If the City Lord of Shanyang truly advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm, it wouldn't be much of an issue; surrounding powers might even take the initiative to submit. But now, with his failure to break through to the Nascent Soul, he was bound to suffer a backlash.
