"Who dares come to my Yunyi City to cause trouble?!"

From within the city, suddenly came an angry shout, and then escape light flashed, appearing in front of the city gate in the blink of an eye.

They were two tall young men, with extraordinary presences, one having reached the Peak of the Reverse Life Realm Second Tier, the other stepping into the Reverse Life Realm Third Tier!

"Hmm?"

The moment the two appeared, their eyes scanned and finally settled on Mo Wangchen, "Is it you?"

Back when Mo Wangchen single-handedly defeated the Purple Howl Double Killers in Yunyi City, that battle attracted everyone’s attention, and these two young men had witnessed it all from the City Lord Mansion.

They also knew that not long after, Mo Wangchen received the invitation from Li Xuan the City Lord.

"Why are you here?"

They were puzzled, furrowing their brows, Mo Wangchen should have followed the City Lord to Wind Devouring Forest.

Now the City Lord has yet to return, how did Mo Wangchen come back to Yunyi City?

"Why wouldn’t I be here?" Mo Wangchen smiled curiously.

The two couldn’t help but exchange a glance, feeling something was off, and asked, "Where is the City Lord?"

"Dead," Mo Wangchen replied straight.

"What?!"

Not only the two young men in the air, but the cultivators alerted around them couldn’t help but show shock on their faces.

"The City Lord is dead? Are you joking?" The two clearly did not believe, rebuking Mo Wangchen loudly.

"I’m not joking, Li Xuan is indeed dead, and I killed him myself," Mo Wangchen spoke again, shocking everyone.

"Nonsense, the City Lord was a Reverse Life Realm Fourth Tier expert, even if you have the means to defeat the Purple Howl Double Killers, you pose no threat to the City Lord," the two sneered, clearly unwilling to believe.

"Spreading deceitful words, suppress him, and when the City Lord returns, deal with him!" One of them directly attacked.

"Bang!"

Just as his voice fell, Mo Wangchen was a step ahead, his palm and fingers performed like a divine probe, as if an invisible large hand appeared, instantly knocking down the two high in the air.

"Now that Yunyi City is without a master, I’ve come today to seize the city."

Mo Wangchen’s gaze was slightly cold as he glanced at the two young men he had knocked down. He didn’t intend to kill, as these people have a certain understanding of Yunyi City, and are responsible for its operation, perhaps useful in the future.

Now that Li Xuan is dead, in the world where strength rules, as long as Mo Wangchen successfully sits on the Yunyi City Lord’s chair, these people who once followed Li Xuan will abandon resistance and turn to follow Mo Wangchen.

Though they may be opportunists, due to the shortage of manpower, Mo Wangchen can’t find enough trusted people to manage his affairs for the time being, so he reluctantly uses these people.

Of course, he’s not afraid of them meddling, because in the face of absolute strength, Mo Wangchen could easily suppress them.

"After I take over Yunyi City, the rules will change. To enter the city, one must pay only one Divine Crystal per person," he said, his gaze sweeping the crowd.

Everyone exchanged glances. Being able to pay fewer Divine Crystals is certainly a good thing, but Li Xuan suddenly being killed, and Yunyi City changing hands, is too abrupt for them to react.

Compared to Canglong City, Yunyi City is much larger, with a huge daily influx of people, including many experts. Now that Li Xuan is dead, many have an eye on the City Lord position.

Yet, considering that even Li Xuan, a Reverse Life Realm Fourth Tier expert, fell to Mo Wangchen, how can they dare to compete?

Eventually, under the gaze of all, Mo Wangchen, accompanied by Zhang Tianling, made their way towards the direction of the City Lord Mansion after entering the city.

"Buzz..."

He pulled out the banner standing in front of the City Lord Hall, instantly causing a slight tremor in the void, Mo Wangchen could clearly feel his connection with the ancient array left from the Ancient times in Yunyi City, proving he had successfully assumed the Yunyi City Lord position.

"Li Xuan has been killed, and I take over the city. Those who used to follow him, if unwilling to heed my commands, can leave the city now. If you wish to stay, then everything shall respect my authority. Of course, if anyone dares to secretly plot, I assure you, your fate won’t be better than Li Xuan’s." Mo Wangchen reestablished the banner into the ground, his gaze sweeping the surrounding crowd.

The scene was silent for a moment, and the two young men Mo Wangchen had knocked down from the air exchanged a look, soon stepping forward and bowing to Mo Wangchen, "We both greet the new City Lord and pledge to follow behind him!"

After them, more than a dozen people stepped out, all of whom followed Li Xuan before. Having long been accustomed to life here, doing their daily duties, and now Yunyi City changing hands, they were compelled by circumstance to submit.

"Very good, those of you, follow me to the main hall." Mo Wangchen retracted his gaze, then turned around, leading the way towards the main hall in the City Lord Mansion.

"This is the Saint Heir Zhang Tianling from the Dao Cen Immortal Palace in Qiankun Universe, you may have heard of him. Now he will be the Deputy City Lord of Yunyi City, and in the future, his words will be as if spoken by me, understand?"

In the main hall, Mo Wangchen sat on the City Lord seat, scanning the crowd below with his gaze.

"Greetings to the Deputy City Lord!"

The crowd all bowed upon hearing, having heard of Zhang Tianling, a revered figure rumored to have been in the Reverse Life Realm Third Tier for years, with extraordinary means enough to deter even average Reverse Life Realm Fourth Tier from claiming certainty to suppress him.

"Whatever you were responsible for before, you will continue to do. If the Deputy City Lord has other arrangements, abide by his words, I will not interfere," Mo Wangchen continued.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Tianling finally realized, unable to help but shake his head and chuckle; this Mo Wangchen indeed intends to play the role of a hands-off manager.

As expected, Mo Wangchen spoke again, "Can anyone tell me in which direction lies the Holy City in the Northern Desolate Domain?"

"The City Lord wants to go to the Holy City?"

Upon hearing, everyone couldn’t help but furrow their brows slightly. The Divine Domain is divided into four Desolate Domains, where they currently reside is the Northern one, and each Desolate Domain contains a Holy City where Daoist Masters gather.

The scene was silent for a moment, then someone stepped forward, "City Lord, previously Li Xuan gave us many imitation Breathing Plates to search for treasures, and I once obtained a partial map from an Ancient Ruins with a marked indication that might point to the Holy City, though that map was given to Li Xuan..."

"A map?"

Mo Wangchen nodded upon hearing, "I hope Li Xuan didn’t carry that map with him, where did he originally reside? Take me to find it."
