King Zhong Ding walked to the front of everyone, his expression was respectful, and he always maintained a posture of bowing and saluting, as if he would never get up unless ordered by Jian Chen.
The move of King Zhongding caused huge waves in the hearts of all the powerful people in the Beginning Realm.
A heavenly king-level powerhouse is the supreme being who is above all the ninth level of the Wuji Realm and is second only to the Lord.
This kind of character is only one step away from the master. It can be said that he is infinitely close to the master.
However, now he is swearing allegiance in front of everyone.
How can this not shock everyone?
If a heavenly king really wants to be loyal to the Lord, he will immediately become the Lord's guest with just a little expression. Is this necessary?
Bai Yurou and Xia Jianming seemed extremely calm, and they were already used to it, because they had already seen such a scene once before.
Strictly speaking, this is already the second time King Zhong Ding has pledged his allegiance.
"King Zhong Ding, it seems you are not giving up yet." Jian Chen sighed softly. He stared at the groveling King Zhong Ding below, with a playful smile on his face. The next moment, an ancestral mark appeared on his face.
In his hand, he said to King Zhong Ding: "Do you want to get back this ancestral mark?"
As soon as the ancestral mark appeared, a mysterious aura suddenly filled the air, instantly attracting the attention of everyone in the hall.
For a time, dozens of pairs of eyes from the powerful people in the Beginning Realm all fell on this ancestral mark, with undisguised envy in their eyes.
The nine heavenly kings of the wood spirit world are able to stand out precisely because they have an ancestral mark.
"No, this is the ancestral mark of King Zhongding!" At this moment, an exclamation came from the crowd.
Everyone immediately sensed carefully and found that there was a trace of the aura belonging to the Zhongding Heavenly King in the ancestral mark.
"It turns out that the ancestral mark of the Zhongding Heavenly King has been taken away by the master!" Everyone understood instantly, and their eyes when looking at the Zhongding Heavenly King suddenly changed subtly.
Without the mark of the ancestor, Zhong Ding is no longer worthy of being a heavenly king. He is just an ordinary ninth level of the Wuji Realm, and his intimidating power is not as good as before.
King Zhong Ding's expression changed slightly. Jian Chen's move undoubtedly announced to everyone that Zhong Ding had lost his position as King of Heaven. The thing he was most worried about had finally happened.
King Zhong Ding sighed secretly in his heart, but he did not regret it. He looked magnanimous and continued to say humbly: "The villain dare not ask the master to return the seal of the ancestor. The villain just wants to stay with the master and do his best to return it.
I hope your Lord Master will make it happen!"
"Eh!" Jian Chen sat up straight and stared at King Zhong Ding intently, with a surprised look on his face, as if he didn't recognize him.
At this time, a Beginning Realm powerhouse standing in the crowd clasped his fists and said, "Lord Lord, you don't know something. King Zhongding has made many enemies, not only other King-level powerhouses, but also those in Biyang Realm and Taitian Realm.
He has killed many people, and even in the Crimson Blood Realm, King Zhong Ding also has enemies."
Jian Chen was enlightened and said: "It seems that the real reason why you are loyal to me is to seek my asylum. Because without the ancestor's mark, you no longer have the ability to deal with your former enemies. I wonder if I am right?"
Zhong Ding felt pain in his heart, and said with a pleading look on his face: "Lord Lord, you have just become the Lord of the Peaceful Domain, and you need someone by your side who is strong enough and can share all kinds of complicated things for you, and the villain is willing to do it for you.
Master, please share your worries."
After listening to Zhong Ding's words, Jian Chen fell into deep thought. He thought about it seriously. Although the Nine Imperial Cities had surrendered, supervision was essential, otherwise all kinds of corruption would breed, deceive the superiors and conceal the inferiors, and even act in disguise.
He is too lazy to do this himself, so he can only leave it to the people around him.
But beside him, only Xia Jianming was the strongest.
Although Xia Jianming is a powerful person at the third level of the Wuji Realm, it is obviously difficult for him to face a large number of people in the middle or even late stages of the Wuji Realm. If someone is playing tricks and tricks behind his back, Xia Jianming's strength will ultimately be difficult to deal with.
It would be different if there was the King of Bells and Cauldrons. As a powerful person in the ninth level of the Wuji Realm, he was able to intimidate the heroes in the Peace Domain, so he could just take on this important task.
Thinking of this, Jian Chen had an idea in his mind, and he stared at King Zhong Ding with piercing eyes. "Zhong Ding, I will not give you the ancestral mark. Do you still want to stay with me?"
King Zhongding bowed his body and said respectfully: "The villain does not bear the mark of the ancestor, but only wants to solve problems for the master."
"Hahahaha, you are capable of bending and stretching, Zhong Ding, you really make me admire you." Jian Chen laughed.
"It is a humble person's honor to be able to see the master in a new light!" King Zhongding had no dignity, which shocked all the powerful people in the palace.
"Okay, since you want to stay with me so much, then you can stay. But when I'm not around, you still have to obey Xia Jianming and Bai Yurou's instructions. Do you have any objections?" Jian Chen said.
As soon as he said this, Xia Jianming and Bai Yurou immediately looked stunned and looked flattered.
Even the dozens of Beginning Realm experts from the Peace Realm in the main hall were shocked. The Zhongding Heavenly King, the ninth level of the Wuji Realm, who used to be the most powerful person second only to the Lord, actually wanted to obey Xia Jianming and Bai Yurou.
The dispatch of these two people is really humiliating.
However, the Heavenly King Zhong Ding didn’t make any sense and said respectfully: “I will let you be sent as I please!”
Jian Chen took a deep look at the Zhong Ding Heavenly King, and immediately issued a few more orders. After several orders, he dismissed everyone.
Soon, nearly a hundred powerful people from the Beginning Realm left one after another. In the end, only Jianfeng, Li Jiangshan, Zhong Ding, Bai Yurou and Xia Jianming stayed here.
"Zhong Ding, you will be responsible for patrolling the entire Peace Domain and supervising all the imperial cities. You must make sure that the taxes and various minerals and other income of all the imperial cities are paid in full." Jian Chen immediately assigned a task to Zhong Ding.
"Yes, I will do it now, I promise not to disappoint the Lord!" King Zhong Ding completely regarded himself as a servant and did not complain at all.
"This Zhong Ding has suddenly become so obedient, which makes me quite uncomfortable." Looking at the disappearing back of the Zhong Ding King, Jian Chen shook his head and whispered.
"Senior, Zhong Ding has too many enemies. Without the protection of seniors, he will never survive long after losing the mark of his ancestor. At least as far as this junior knows, three of the eight heavenly kings want to kill him. Moreover, now, there may be more.
He killed a bloody master."
"King Zhong Ding has not completed the mission of the Blood Killing Lord, and now he has lost the mark of his ancestors. Naturally, he will no longer be taken seriously by the Blood Killing Lord. Therefore, if he returns to the Scarlet Blood Realm, he will most likely be killed by the Blood Killing Lord himself. He will never
He doesn't dare to go back. As for Biyang Realm and Taitian Realm, he even dares not go there."
"Therefore, if he wants to survive, the Peaceful Domain has become his only choice." The Sword Emperor cupped his fists and analyzed the current situation of King Zhongding in a clear and logical manner.
