For the people of War City, Tie Long announcing his allegiance to Su Yu came as a massive psychological shock.
This mental shock was almost on par with when Mechanical City descended upon them previously.
Because Tie Long, having presided over War City for a century, was invincible, lofty, and enjoyed a long life, had already formed a certain perception in the hearts of the people.
That perception was that a Seven-star Transcendent held a superior status, entirely a different level of life compared to ordinary people.
Each Seven-star Transcendent guarded a large city independently, high above, and would not bow to anyone.
This was the iron law in the hearts of War City's population.
So the people of War City could not at all imagine that Tie Long, such an exalted Seven-star Transcendent—no, now promoted to Eight-star, whose strength was even more unknowably formidable—would actually swear allegiance to Su Yu?
A debt of gratitude can be repaid, but allegiance?
