As soon as Jian Chen finished speaking, the nearly one hundred Beginning Realm experts gathered in the main hall looked at each other. Many of them had expressions of embarrassment and struggle on their faces, and many of them looked very ugly.
Of course, some people take it for granted.
The Overlord of Overlord City and the ancestors of Baidi City have no objection in their hearts to submitting to a master.
After all, they had been subdued by King Zhong Ding before and stood on the side of the Scarlet Blood Realm.
It's just that the plan was far behind the changes. The Scarlet Blood Realm withdrew from the Peaceful Realm, and the Peaceful Realm had new masters. People like the Overlord were naturally abandoned by the Scarlet Blood Realm.
Now, the only way before them is to surrender to the Lord of the Peaceful Domain. Otherwise, their life in the Peaceful Domain will be very difficult in the future. In the previous wars, they have already made life-and-death ties with too many forces in the Peaceful Domain.
Great feud.
"I, the Overlord of the City, are willing to submit to the Lord and obey all the Lord's orders from now on." The Overlord of one of the Nine Imperial Cities was the first to stand up and express his loyalty in front of everyone.
"Everyone in Baidi City is willing to surrender to the Master. Being able to serve the Master is an honor for all the people of Baidi City." The ancestor also swore an oath on behalf of Baidi City on the spot, and his words were categorical.
Suddenly, Zongzu felt a sharp gaze falling on him. He subconsciously raised his eyes slightly and saw Bai Yurou's cold eyes that contained murderous intent.
Bai Yurou's appearance of a life-or-death feud immediately made the clansmen in Baidi City feel trembling, and they instantly became restless and uneasy.
In terms of strength, he is naturally not afraid of Bai Yurou, and he doesn't even take Bai Yurou to heart. But now Bai Yurou is the person next to the ruler of the Peace Domain. With this identity alone, no one in the Peace Domain dares to touch her.
The ancestor lowered his head, not daring to look into Bai Yurou's eyes, and secretly complained in his heart.
Who could have thought that things would develop to this point?
"Lord Overlord, our Vantage City is willing to surrender. Not only will we abide by the rules set by the Lord Overlord, but from now on, our Vantage City will hand over 30% of its annual taxes to the Lord Overlord!" A middle-aged man standing below said in a tone of voice.
Although he was respectful, his demeanor was neither humble nor arrogant.
This person is none other than Emperor Hua, one of the nine emperors of the Peace Domain, who has cultivated at the seventh level of the Wuji Beginning Realm.
Hearing this, the eyes of many Beginning Realm experts in the field could not help but light up slightly. If they just abide by the rules set by the master and pay 30% of the tax every year, it would not be a problem for those forces who are always unwilling to surrender to anyone.
Not unacceptable.
After all, not everyone in the nine imperial cities in the Peace Domain would choose to surrender without hesitation like Ba Emperor City and Baidi City.
Jian Chen stared at Emperor Vatican expressionlessly, and said calmly: "No, what I want is not only that you abide by the rules I set, but at the same time, all the nine imperial cities must also obey the orders. As for the taxation of various places.
Jian Chen paused slightly: "All official taxes from the nine imperial cities must be turned over!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the decision-makers of the Nine Imperial Cities suddenly changed drastically. Even the Overlord and the Ancestor, who were the first to surrender, felt a thump in their hearts, and their hearts instantly sank to the bottom.
"From now on, all official personnel will implement a salary system. The salary you can receive will be determined based on your strength, position, contribution, etc.!" Jian Chen said directly in a commanding tone, quite arbitrary, without leaving any questions.
Leave no room for negotiation.
And this set of practices is exactly the current management model of the Tianyuan family. He directly copied the management model of the Tianyuan family in the Holy Realm.
"No, I don't agree!"
"Yes, it not only deprives us of resources, but also deprives us of our rights. We will never agree to this!"
Immediately, the management of Imperial City spoke up, filled with indignation and firm opposition.
Jian Chen's expression remained unchanged, and he said slowly: "If you don't agree, that's fine, but you have no choice but to leave the Peace Domain. In other words, throw away all your current territories and become a casual cultivator in the Peace Domain from now on."
"Hmph, Lord Overlord, your request is too much. We will never surrender to Ming Emperor City, let alone leave the Peaceful Domain." An old man stood up. This man was the newly appointed Ming Emperor.
Jian Chen waved his hand and saw sudden ripples in the void. A spatial sharp blade passed through the newly appointed emperor's neck and cut off his head in an instant.
Then, his head was imprisoned in mid-air by the laws of space, and his soul was also tightly restricted inside, unable to escape.
The next moment, a long sword was already placed in front of the newly appointed emperor's eyebrows. Once the sword was thrust out, he would be destroyed physically and mentally in an instant.
"I will finally give you a chance to change your mind. Whether you live or die, it all depends on you!" Jian Chen said coldly.
Suddenly, there was silence in the hall, and everyone's eyes were focused on the head of Emperor Ming, who was imprisoned in the air by the law of space, and they were filled with fear.
The newly appointed Ming Emperor was no more powerful than the previous appointed Emperor, but he was still a strong man at the seventh level of the Wuji Realm. However, he was beheaded without any resistance.
This made them shrink their necks involuntarily.
"Perhaps my request is difficult for you to accept, but don't worry, I will only stay in this position for tens of thousands of years at most. After ten thousand years, there will be no Lord of the Peace Domain here, and the Peace Domain will return to the Nine Imperial Cities.
Period. Of course, it may not be possible to wait as long as ten thousand years." Jian Chen added.
"Lord, what do you mean, you will only allow us to surrender to you for ten thousand years at most?" Below, a strong man from the Beginning Realm said in surprise.
"Not bad!" Jian Chen replied affirmatively.
Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall relaxed. If it was permanent surrender, it would be difficult for them to accept it.
But if they just surrender for ten thousand years, then it's not a big deal to them.
To be able to reach the Beginning Realm, they don't know how many thousands of years they have lived. In their eyes, a mere ten thousand years is indeed nothing.
"If it lasts ten thousand years, our Ming Emperor City is willing to surrender, hand over all taxes, and obey all orders from the Lord." Ming Emperor's head also spoke, willing to surrender.
"We, the Fa Di City, are willing to surrender to the Lord and obey all the Lord's orders."
"We, Dark Emperor City, are willing to surrender."
"We, the Last Emperor City, are willing to surrender."
"We, Vantage City, are willing to surrender."
Subsequently, the nine imperial cities expressed their loyalty one after another, and even the top families that were based in various regions of the Peace Domain and had strong men from the Beginning Realm sitting there also swore their surrender.
At this point, Jian Chen truly controlled the entire Peace Domain.
"Junior Zhong Ding, I am willing to surrender to the master and do my best for the master!" At this moment, a loud voice came from outside.
I saw the King of Bells and Cauldrons walking in from the outside in a hurry, but there was no hint of arrogance in his expression. Instead, he bowed deeply to Jian Chen with a face full of respect.
"It's the King of Bells and Cauldrons"
"I didn't expect that even the King of Zhongding would take the initiative to surrender. He is a powerful person at the level of a King."
King Zhong Ding's move immediately shocked a large number of people.
