After Master Changfu and Master Huaisu were repelled, Dali City officially fell under Du Youqian's control.
Dali City's status as a First-class Immortal City was allowed to continue.
This was because Du Youqian, a Nascent Soul-level power, was willing to provide sanctuary for Dali City. Moreover, his bloodline gave him a legitimate claim.
No one could compete with Du Youqian any longer.
After all, those stronger than him had no legitimate claim.
And those with a legitimate claim were not as strong as him.
Over the next few years, Du Youqian used his "Jinhuan" Flying Sword and a series of Magical Combats to slowly reclaim all the resource shares that Dali City had previously lost.
The recent lesson of Master Changfu served as a potent warning; no one wanted to suffer the same fate.
However, although the total resources Dali City acquired had increased significantly, the only true beneficiaries were Du Youqian and the direct lineage of the Duan Clan, represented by Duan Shuma.
