Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World

Chapter 1610: Chapter 748: Seizing Control of Luoning City, the Heavenly Immortal Who Betrayed the Human Race (2)

Then he wouldn’t need to hesitate at all, and would directly set up a feast as a trap, taking them down in one fell swoop.

It’s estimated that those few human traitors would never think that the new City Lord would act against them just upon arrival.

This would certainly catch them off guard, leaving no time for escape.

Moreover, no one would find anything amiss at the new City Lord’s first meeting.

The other party wouldn’t just obediently attend the feast.

”Yes, Lord City Lord.”

Upon hearing this, numerous True Immortal guardians immediately sprang into action, dispersing and notifying everyone of the new City Lord’s inauguration.

This is indeed a major event for Luoning City.

The arrival of the new City Lord will determine the future of Luoning City for countless years.

Basically, they all need to conduct their affairs in front of this unfamiliar City Lord.

No one wants to leave a bad impression.

”No way, the new City Lord has already arrived? How can it be so soon?”

”It’s rather quick for them to take office, perhaps this City Lord will be very greedy.”

”Isn’t that so? Every City Lord is greedy, but this one must be particularly so.”

”Indeed, unable even to wait a day, immediately wanting to take office to make money, it shows how eager the other party is.”

”This is quite normal; it’s said that the person isn’t from a major family of Heavenly Immortals but rather from an Earth Immortal Clan. Probably his family cannot provide him with any help, hence his haste to enrich himself.”

”What should we do now? This time we are likely to suffer great losses.”

”Ah, it’s something we can’t help, just consider it as spending money to ward off disaster.”

Many Earth Immortals in Luoning City were discussing among themselves.

They completely did not anticipate the new City Lord arriving so quickly.

However, faced with the new City Lord’s meeting command, they dared not refuse.

Each stood up swiftly and proceeded towards the City Lord’s Mansion.

......

It was only half an hour.

Basically, the Earth Immortals who held true power in Luoning City also arrived at the hall of the City Lord’s Mansion.

And naturally, leading this group of officials were the three Heavenly Immortals Lei Qingcang, Zhao Xuanzhen, and Fu Xuance.

After all, they have been long-established Heavenly Immortals in Luoning City, managing this city for an unknown amount of time.

Their network of connections is pervasive throughout Luoning City.

In some sense, these three Celestial Immortal Clans are the real masters of Luoning City.

The so-called City Lord is merely an outsider.

However, because the City Lord controls the city’s Tier Three Immortal Array, other Immortals dare not defy the City Lord’s orders, otherwise, they would surely be sent to the front lines as cannon fodder.

Boom~~

At this moment, the world changed abruptly.

The entire void in the City Lord’s Mansion began to shake violently without warning. The space that was originally clear and stable, filled with Immortal Radiance, suddenly started to twist, wrinkle, collapse, and bend.

Visible layers of spatial ripples exploded, the void like an immortal cloth wrinkled by an invisible giant hand. The dense Immortal Qi flowing around instantly stagnated, rolled backwards, thundered, and the protective Dao Patterns of countless palace buildings within the mansion suddenly dimmed, the runes of Immortal Forbidden spread across beams and walls fell completely silent, not daring a single movement.

There was no heaven-shaking boom, nor any phenomenon shattering across the nine heavens, only a vast and majestic pressure of a Heavenly Immortal, oppressing all heavens and overwhelming all Immortals, descending silently from the depths of the void, enveloping the entire City Lord’s Mansion.

In the next second, Jiang Fan’s figure stepped out slowly from the twisting and folding void rift.

He was dressed in immaculate plain cloth, his posture as upright as an Ancient Divine Mountain, with his countenance serene and calm, neither angry nor imposing, yet surrounded by the true Dao Rhyme of a Heavenly Immortal.

This was an aura completely transcending the shackles of an Earth Immortal, rising to a high position on the Immortal path, the supreme majesty of mastering the Law and transforming through the Dao, far beyond what ordinary Earth Immortals could strive for.

Unlike the gentle and restrained nature of Earth Immortals who guard their territory, Jiang Fan’s presence was vast and dominant, embracing all, with a suppressive force that looked down on all beings and quelled all paths.

The subtle Immortal Light surrounding him appeared soft, yet each strand carried the primordial power of the Celestial Immortal Dao Fruit, each inch of aura revealing the level of oppressive force that transcended dimensions.

As his footsteps lightly touched the ground, the void within the City Lord’s Mansion twisted even more violently, the Dao Patterns on the ground trembled intensely, tens of thousands of Immortal Qi flows rampaged chaotically, and the surrounding space-time was forcibly confined, pulled, and crushed.

Within the void at arm’s length, the spatial barriers shattered layer by layer and instantly repaired, wrinkles spread, and light and shadow were in disarray, presenting a breathtaking scene where the Dao bowed, and the void yielded.

Inside the mansion, all the hundreds of Earth Immortals who were originally sitting and discussing the Dao with composed expressions, along with the three Heavenly Immortals, stiffened simultaneously.

In an instant, an extreme suppressive force from the level of life and the Dao pressed heavily on the mind and Daoist Body of every Earth Immortal.

The Immortal power flowing around them instantly stagnated, the Dao Rhyme operating within them halted completely, the Earth Immortal Dao Foundation that stood firm as a mountain trembled slightly and became warm, with an instinctive tremor and reverence emanating from the depths of their Divine Souls.

No one dared to move a muscle, none dared to activate Immortal power, and no one dared to raise their eyes to directly gaze at Jiang Fan’s figure.

A group of veteran Earth Immortals who usually guarded the Immortal City, held authority, and were revered by the myriad Immortals, their states of mind long as solid as rocks without ripples, yet in the face of this pure and extreme Heavenly Immortal majesty, they still appeared as insignificant as ants and dust.

Their backs were taut, their minds trembled, their Immortal Light completely retracted, the previous arrogance and majesty vanished entirely, leaving only the utmost reverence and submission in their hearts.

The entire City Lord’s Mansion was silent and dead.

Showing them who’s boss, this was definitely the new City Lord’s show of dominance!
