Transmigration To Magus World-Chapter 111: Attention from All Sides

To use a metaphor, Aizen’s current strategy can be described as building a bridge openly while crossing the river in secret.

On the surface, he appears to have received a sect mission and officially left the city to complete the task. In reality, he has secretly circled back to the city, stirring up conflict and intensifying the discord between the two major forces—the Overseas Hundred Alliance and Turtle Rock Ridge.

Aizen has already investigated and understood the personnel of these two factions stationed in Great Plain City.

The Overseas Hundred Alliance is a powerful coalition of nearly a hundred Clans and family clans from overseas. While they are rife with internal conflicts, they maintain a highly unified strategy when facing external expansion—working together against outside threats.

The factions of the Hundred Alliance within Great Plain City aren’t as exaggerated as a hundred Clans. Upon closer inspection, only three Clans are represented. Though these three sects act as a unified alliance to confront Heavenly demon clan and Turtle Rock Ridge, they still have their internal disputes over interests.

Similarly, Heavenly Demon ’s forces stationed in Great Plain City come from the Western Academy but are divided into two factions. However, when it comes to external developments in the city, they maintain a highly cooperative relationship.

In contrast, Turtle Rock Ridge’s forces in the city are under the complete control of a single individual.

This individual is notoriously difficult to deal with, known by the nickname "Breaker Spear" .

Rumor has it that Nathan is the son of a high-ranking member of Turtle Rock Ridge, gifted with exceptional talent. At the age of only 25, he ranks 88th on the People’s List. His presence alone secures Turtle Rock Ridge’s foothold in Great Plain City.

After all, those ranked on the People’s List are no ordinary figures.

On the Hundred Alliance side, their three factions are also represented by three individuals of extraordinary strength. While not on the People’s List, their abilities are comparable to top-tier figures like Alester and Simone.

Previously, Alester and Simone joined forces to oversee Great Plain City engaging in numerous overt and covert clashes with these two factions. Despite their efforts, they were consistently on the losing end, forced to retreat into a corner while watching these two factions carve up most of the city’s resources and territory.

This highlights the formidable strength of Breaker Spear Nathan and the three representatives of the Hundred Alliance. They are not easy opponents.

When Aizen took control of Heavenly Demons forces in Great Plain City, news of his status as a People’s List powerhouse quickly leaked out. Both Turtle Rock Ridge and the Hundred Alliance’s leadership paid close attention, deploying spies throughout the city to monitor Great Plain City’s movements.

Even Aizen’s display of dominance yesterday was promptly reported to these two factions by their spies that very night. They speculated about his temperament and the challenges he posed, preparing various plans to counter this new leader of Great Plain City.

Unexpectedly, Aizen defied expectations by merely making a brief appearance in the city before leaving the next day to carry out a supposed sect mission.

Could he be plotting some scheme?

The leadership of the two factions discussed the situation but couldn’t figure it out. The intelligence from Heavenly Demon’s spies indicated that Aizen seemed genuinely urgent about completing a mission. He even specifically instructed them to hunker down and wait for his return.

This created suspicion among the Hundred Alliance and Turtle Rock Ridge. Unsure of the situation, they refrained from exploiting the opportunity to suppress Heavenly Demon’s forces in the city.

Instead, they deployed more spies. When Aizen left the city, several spies secretly trailed him to uncover his true intentions.

Here,Aizen’s "Flame-Tail" Horse proved its worth.

The horse was not only ostentatious enough to draw attention but also incredibly fast. In a flash, it carried Aizen over a hundred miles out of the city, leaving all trailing spies in the dust. They returned with nothing but dirt in their mouths, reporting only that they had lost track of him. They could only guess how far he had traveled and in which direction.

"Big brother, what do you think this guy surnamed Aizen is up to? Is he really planning to abandon Heavenly Demon’s hard-won foundation in the city?"

In a study within a mansion in the western district of Great Plain City, a burly young man with a square face, broad mouth, and a tiger-like build spoke in a muffled voice.

Before him, standing by the bookshelf, was a tall, straight figure dressed in elegant purple robes, exuding an air of nobility and grace.

The man drew a book from the shelf, turned around calmly, and said, "Who would so easily let go of the meat in their bowl and leave it for someone else? Even if they were willing to temporarily let go for another bowl of meat, it wouldn’t be done so rashly."

"Big brother, you mean that guy has a scheme? He’s not really out to complete some sect mission but is lurking in the shadows, planning to undermine us?"

The burly young man’s face changed slightly. His square face was covered with a thick beard, and his muscular body, clad in fitted clothes, exuded raw power. He was robust, fierce, and strong, like a volcano ready to erupt at any moment.

"Most likely. Pass down the word to Leslie and the others—there’s no need to send men to track him.

This Aizen fellow has grand ambitions. But since he’s chosen to avoid our sharp edge, it shows he’s not confident about competing with us directly. Since he’s voluntarily leaving this big piece of fat meat, Mike, tomorrow, you go and devour it yourself."

The man in purple robes had jet-black hair, star-like eyes, and a straight nose. His bright, sharp-featured face exuded cold, chiseled charm.

After speaking, he smiled faintly and walked gracefully to the desk with the book in hand, resembling a well-read scholar—elegant and self-assured.

"Yes."

The young man called Mike, despite lingering doubts and concerns, immediately cast them aside upon hearing the purple-robed man’s words.

Why?

Because this man’s name was Nathan

—an ordinary name, yet one that inspired unwavering loyalty and action.

Meanwhile, in another mansion in the southern district of the inner city, three individuals were gathered. These three were two women and one man, all around 23 or 24 years old, exuding extraordinary auras far beyond the ordinary.

They were drinking in a pavilion near a lake within the mansion. Snippets of their conversation included Aizen’s name, revealing that their topic of discussion also revolved around him.

The atmosphere in Great Plain city had already grown tense, like a drawn bowstring.

At the City Lord’s Mansion, a secret meeting was underway.

A select few individuals dressed in the unique uniforms of the Eastern and Western Bureaus, embroidered with eagles and lone wolves, sat in the hall. Each of them had an imposing presence, their muscular builds radiating strength, and their sharp eyes gleaming with vigilance.

The factional disputes over interests within Great Plain city were inevitable, but they must not disturb the populace or compromise the city’s security.

Such disputes were to be monitored and regulated by these individuals. If any party crossed the line, they would be breaking the rules.

And those who broke the rules?

They would be eliminated from the game.
