Chapter 794.
The Misty Mountain Realm was a small world shrouded in mist.
Although there was the existence of the Sacred Ancestor’s Walking Path, which prevented the cities and pools in this world from turning into an isolated island.
However, since there was no unified dynastic kingdom, or the existence of a great sect like the Immortal Cultivation Realm, the truth was that a city could be completely viewed as a small independent and autonomous vassal state.
The city lord was naturally the supreme vassal king!
Only innate powerhouses are qualified to ascend to the throne, and without strength, they cannot sit on the throne at all.
Hearing Wang Chen’s words, Shao Hongcheng had the feeling of being hit by a big pie falling from the sky.
He almost fainted.
However, he quickly calmed down and smiled bitterly, “Senior brother, it’s not that I don’t want to, but I really can’t do anything about it.”
Shao Hongcheng was very clear that with his own qualifications, being able to break through the Houtian Grand Realm was already an incredible miracle.
No one would be convinced if he were to ascend to the throne of City Lord in the Houtian Realm!
Did Wang Chen want him to be a puppet?
Shao Hongcheng suddenly thought of such a possibility and hastily changed his words again, “If it’s a request from senior brother, then I ……”
Be a puppet ……
It’s also no problem!
“Senior brother is overly concerned.”
Wang Dust smiled and waved his hand, “As I said, I won’t stay in Red Cliff City all the time, and what you’re going to be is not going to be a famous and unfulfilled Lord of Red Cliff!”
It was very simple, Wang Chen intended to push Shao Hongcheng up to the innate realm!
To do this, the difficulty was undoubtedly extremely high, and it was absolutely impossible for Wang Dust to achieve this on his own.
But he had his old grandpa with him – Yao Lao!
Shao Hongcheng understood Wang Chen’s meaning, and immediately his heartbeat accelerated as his qi and blood surged, and his hands couldn’t help but tremble slightly, “Really, is it really possible?”
He couldn’t be blamed for suffering, he really didn’t have enough self-confidence.
Wang Dust patted his arm, “Senior brother, trust me.”
Tossing the Red Cliff City Seal in his hand, Wang Dust said, “Let’s go, let’s go to the City Lord’s Mansion.”
Wang Dust had already thought about it, he would first take the position of Red Cliff City Lord, and then try to push Shao Hongcheng up to the innate realm, and wait until he reunited with Hu Jiaojiao before stepping aside to give up his position.
Wang Chen even prepared for the worst, that is, Hu Jiaojiao never came.
Then he could only search for the Xuan Fox Order himself and find a way to leave this world!
The Red Cliff City Lord’s Mansion was located in the middle of the city, a city within a city surrounded by high walls, with sturdy defenses and tight security.
“Come on people stop!”
When Wang Chen and his two men arrived at the main gate of the City Lord’s Mansion, they were immediately stopped by two heavily armed warriors.
“Get out of the way!”
Shao Hongcheng stepped forward and waved his palms to slap left and right.
He was already a Houtian expert who had condensed his true qi, and it was naturally easy for him to deal with two martial artists at the Refined Marrow realm.
Neither of the two warriors were on guard, and they were instantly slapped and sent flying backwards.
Only Shao Hongcheng didn’t hit them hard, they landed on the ground and rolled a few times, watching in a sorry state as the two of them broke into the City Lord’s Mansion.
One of the warriors panicked and fished out a whistle flute from his pocket.
In the next moment, the sharp whistle suddenly sounded.
And the ostensibly silent City Lord’s Mansion instantly reacted instinctively like a giant beast awakened from sleep.
“Enemy attack!”
A team of elite guards rushed in from different places, and Wang Chen and Shao Hongcheng, who were marching towards the main hall, were soon caught in a heavy siege.
“Stop!”
Just as they were about to launch their attack, a tall, armored warrior with a scarred face spoke out flatly to stop them.
He looked at the two Wang Dusters with suspicion before clasping his fists and saluting, “May I ask if your honor is Sage Master Wang Duster Wang?”
That battle in the Martial Hall Competition had allowed many people to recognize Wang Chuan, the teenage innate, and had left a deep and unforgettable impression.
This armor-clad warrior was one of them.
“That’s right.”
Shao Hongcheng replied for Wang Duan, “Commander Zhang, I advise you not to get in the way.”
Although nominally Shao Hongcheng and Wang Duan were known as master and brother, in reality, he placed himself in the position of a subordinate.
The armor-clad warrior who was blocking the way was named Zhang Zhongxun, the commander of the City Lord’s Mansion’s guards, and a renowned Houtian expert.
Zhang Zhongxun ignored Shao Hongcheng, his eyes were dead set on Wang Duan, “Sage Wang, my lord is in seclusion, if you wish to pay a visit, please come back another day!”
As he spoke, multiple more figures appeared in the surroundings, and an overpowering aura locked onto Wang Dust at the same time.
Zhao Zhenxuan had been sitting in Red Cliff City for decades, and the forces under his command were naturally first-rate and powerful, in this City Lord’s Mansion alone, there were as many as ten Houtian experts in plain sight.
Those dead soldiers who had participated in the siege of Wang Chen earlier belonged to the dark forces.
They were not included.
With these Houtian experts and the elite guards in the mansion, the power they could exert was no less than that of an innate powerhouse.
Therefore, Zhang Zhongxun was not the least bit intimidated.
“Your lord is dead.”
Wang Dust didn’t hesitate to poke at the other party’s bottom and directly flashed out the Red Cliff City Seal: “When he was dying, he entrusted the position of City Lord to me.”
Seeing the jade seal in Wang Chen’s hand, the surrounding guards were in an uproar.
This jade seal was Zhao Zhenxuan’s most important token, and there was no one present who didn’t recognize it, and the fact that Wang Dust had spoken the truth about Zhao Zhenxuan’s death set off shockwaves in everyone’s hearts.
Zhao Zhenxuan died?
The invincible City Lord Zhao in their hearts was dead?
How was this possible!
“Impossible!”
An old man with a dignified face came out of the crowd and said sternly, “Wang Chen, I respect that you’re an Innate Martial Saint, but that’s not a reason for you to make a big deal out of what you’re saying here, come on people, give me ……”
This old man was a deacon of the City Lord’s Mansion, and a close clan member of Zhao Zhenxuan.
And he was one of the very few people who knew about the matter of Zhao Zhenxuan leading his dead soldiers to secretly leave the mansion and go out.
When Wang Chen brought the news of Zhao Zhenxuan’s death, while others couldn’t believe it, this old man was convinced by seven or eight points.
But precisely because of this, he could least tolerate Wang Chen seizing the city’s sovereignty.
Otherwise, the fate of the Zhao clan would be unimaginable.
Wang Chen must die!
However, before he could finish his words, Wang Dust suddenly struck the Red Cliff City Seal in his hand.
This jade seal rapidly expanded in the air, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a behemoth that was one zhang square and pressed down towards the old man.
The old man only felt a cloud of gloom over his head, and a great fear arose in his heart.
He wanted to escape, but was bound in place by an invisible force, and could only watch as the huge object pressed down.
Boom!
This Houtian cultivation deacon was crushed into minced meat on the spot!
The entire audience was silent.
This scene was simply too shocking and unbelievable, completely subverting their common sense and causing everyone’s minds to be so shocked that they lost their words in unison.
Even more so, they didn’t dare to make any movements for fear of becoming the next object to be suppressed!
Wang Chen probed his hand and the Red Cliff City Seal that had fallen to the ground flew back.
When it landed in his palm, it was already the original size.
Wang Chen looked around with his hand on the city seal and asked, “Who else is there?”
