Chapter 795.
This Red Cliff City Seal that Zhao Zhenxuan had given to Wang Chen before he died in exchange for the lives of the entire clan, young and old.
It was actually a magic treasure.
This innate powerhouse didn’t know where he had gotten it from, and because its shape was very suitable for use as a seal, it was used as a token representing the authority of the city lord.
However, Zhao Zhenxuan was unable to utilize its true function at all.
When it fell into Wang Chen’s hands, the situation was different.
Just now, Wang Chuan drew away a trace of the power of the Reincarnation Pearl, stimulating a small portion of this jade seal’s power, and killing the opponent who had come out to stir up trouble in one fell swoop.
It also subdued the minds and wills of everyone present.
“A cultivator, a transcendental cultivator!”
There was no lack of knowledgeable people in the large City Lord’s Mansion, who woke up after the shock and guessed Wang Chen’s identity.
Cultivator!
In the minds of ordinary people, cultivators were fairy-like figures that only existed in stories and legends.
They couldn’t believe that Wang Chen was a cultivator.
But the fact was right in front of their eyes, and the “meat cake” on the ground was so shocking that people had to believe it!
Zhang Zhongxun, the commander of the guards, suddenly knelt down and saluted, “My humble position, Zhang Zhongxun, I have met Lord City Lord!”
The surrounding people were stunned again.
Zhang Zhongxun had always been loyal to Zhao Zhenxuan, and was the first war general under the latter’s command.
It was never expected that the first one to betray Zhao Zhenxuan would be him.
In the gazes that some people cast at Zhang Zhongxun, there was a hint of contempt.
However, Zhang Zhongxun’s attitude was very firm.
Zhao Zhenxuan was already dead.
A person who turned his back on his master was certainly despicable, but the object of his allegiance was gone, so he couldn’t be loyal to a dead person, could he?
Zhang Zhongxun was not that great.
Most importantly, he was not alone, there was a large family behind him.
“Greetings, Lord City Lord!”
Zhang Zhongxun even knelt, and the resourceful people inside his men hurriedly followed suit, throwing down their weapons and kneeling all over the place.
And as people had a herd mentality, coupled with the fact that Wang Chen had displayed unrivaled strength, the escorting martial artists who realized that the tide had turned bowed their heads and lowered their heads.
But there were also some warriors from Zhao who turned their heads and ran.
“Kill!”
Shao Hongcheng shot out to intercept them without thinking.
He wouldn’t do such a dirty job, would he let Wang Chen do it himself?
“Those who don’t obey will be killed!”
Zhang Zhongxun leapt up violently, killing intent revealed in his pair of tiger eyes.
These fleeing Zhao Clan members were the most suitable for him to throw his name!
And so the hot blood once again dyed red the lapis lazuli rock slabs that lay on the floor of the City Lord’s Mansion.
When Wang Chen walked into the main hall of the City Lord’s Mansion and sat down on top of the main seat, this short but gruesome killing came to an end.
Without Zhao Zhenxuan as the sea pin, and with Zhang Zhongxun and the other masters of the mansion rebelling, all of the Zhao Clan’s resistance was undoubtedly futile when they were caught off guard.
A few moments later, Zhang Zhongxun, who was drenched in blood, came to the main hall and reported, “Lord City Lord, the rebels of the Zhao Clan in the mansion have all been taken down, and I would like to ask you to show me how to dispose of them.”
In order to win Wang Chen’s trust, he did his best to suppress the rebellion in the City Lord’s mansion.
“Very well.”
Wang Dust nodded and said to Shao Hongcheng, who was at the side, “Senior brother, I’ll leave this matter to you.”
After taking the seat of the Red Cliff City Lord, Wang Dust had no interest in managing the operation of this city, so these red tape and mundane matters were naturally handed over to Shao Hongcheng to complete.
It was also convenient for this cheap senior brother to take over in the future.
“Remember, those who obey can stay alive, those who resist will be killed!”
The change of power was often filled with intrigue and bloody killings, however, Wang Chen was not the type of person who was brutal and bloodthirsty, and had no intention of driving Zhao Zhenxuan’s clan to extinction.
Although this will inevitably leave behind future problems, but the heart has no shame is good.
In the next few days, the city of Red Cliff was in turmoil.
Because of Zhao Zhenxuan’s fall and Wang Chen’s rise to power, many forces in the city inevitably faced a reshuffle.
However, Wang Chen had no intention of making a big fuss, but he accepted all the clans that took the initiative to come to his door to show their allegiance.
A small number of stubborn guys, that will inevitably have to be cleared out.
Under normal circumstances, such turmoil often lasted for a long time, even injuring the city’s vitality and underpinnings.
However, when the news that Wang Chen was a cultivator spread, those clans that harbored dissenting intentions submitted, at least on the surface, not daring to resist with any hostility.
In just three days, Red Cliff City had already changed its world!
On the ninth day of Wang Chen’s entry into Red Cliff, a grand ceremony of ascension to the throne was held in the City Lord’s Mansion.
Organizing this ceremony was Shao Hongcheng’s idea.
As the saying goes, the name is not correct, and with a formal ceremony, Wang Dust could erect a supreme image in the hearts of hundreds of thousands of city folk, and at the same time disperse the influence left behind by Zhao Zhenxuan.
Wang Dust accepted the suggestion.
On the day of the ceremony, all the large and small clans in Red Cliff City, as well as the many martial arts schools and chambers of commerce, sent representatives to attend.
“Greetings, Lord City Lord!”
When the representatives of all the forces saluted Wang Duan, who was seated on the main seat, he suddenly realized that a force from the underworld had descended and enveloped him.
This force was silently injected into Wang Chen’s body, inducing his innate true qi to circulate on its own.
A flash of aura flashed in the sea of consciousness, and the divine soul instantly disappeared out of his body!
Suspended in the sky above the City Lord’s Mansion, Wang Chen’s divine soul gazed at the kneeling crowd below, then his gaze instantly covered the entire city and expanded in all directions.
An arcane mental mantra surfaced in Wang Chen’s mind.
The words shone brightly!
Wang Chen came to a realization, and his eyes pierced through the fog to get a glimpse of the true face of this world.
The next moment, he instantly “returned” to his own body.
Wang Dust’s gaze froze, and his breath caught in his throat.
He didn’t move and grabbed his hand forward, and a burning fireball appeared in his palm.
Whew!
This fireball was propelled by true qi, and in the blink of an eye, it swept over a distance of tens of steps and blasted at the body of a middle-aged man.
“Ah!”
Miserable screams suddenly rang out.
The man’s body was bathed in fire as he struggled desperately, his face twisting from the pain.
Barclap!
A delicate hand crossbow fell from the middle-aged man’s arms.
And it was cocked!
Now the people around him who were in a state of shock all realized.
The other party was obviously trying to assassinate Wang Chuan, but was recognized by Wang Chuan and suppressed on the spot with the means of a cultivator!
In full view of everyone, the middle-aged man was burned into a charred corpse.
With this living example, no one doubted Wang Chuan’s identity as a cultivator, everyone knelt down in fear, and those with evil intentions were even trembling.
However, Wang Chen’s attention wasn’t on these guys at all, as Yao Lao’s voice was clamoring in his mind.
“Qi fortune plus, Qi fortune plus, I get it!”
This YuanYing True Immortal was having a bit of a seizure, “So that’s how it is, so that’s how it is!”
