Swordsman the Wanderer
Ch 229's. Domain Region Power Sect Dragon Gate
Five days have passed since the battle. In these five days, Zhang En had helped heal all the curable wounds that the Dragon Gate Elder had sustained.
Inside the Dragon Hall.
Zhang En sat on the throne seat of the Dragon Gate Ruler in the middle of the large hall while the Domain Leader and Elder stood in two rows in front of him, zhao Shu and Zhang Fu stood beside the throne on the left and right sides.
"Honor to the Lord!" Zhao Shu's loud voice was clearly heard in the large hall.
Furthermore, all of the Dragon Gate Domain Leaders and Elders within the hall knelt down, performing a ceremonial tribute to Zhang En, "Honor the Dragon Gate Master!"
Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu also did the same respect, however, they simply bowed and did not kneel.
Zhang En looked at them for a while and then gestured for everyone to get up.
As everyone stood up, Zhang En looked at all the groups of Domain Leaders gathered before him, "All of you, open the barrier of your individual soul consciousness, respectively, I'll mark your souls with a spiritual sign in your sea of souls."
All of the Domain Leader's faces instantly turned pale hearing Zhang En's words.
“Sign soul!”
Naturally, these Domain Leaders had heard of soul marks, but they did not expect Zhang En to have learned the soul marking method.
Every Domain Leader's expression entered Zhang En's eyes, no doubt, he would not believe that these Domain Leaders could truly be loyal to him in such a short period of time, however, he would not believe that these Domain Leaders could be truly loyal to him in such a short period of time, once a spiritual mark was stamped on their sea of souls, everything would change completely.
All of these Domain Leaders would not dare to have any malicious intentions going forward. This was a must, as Zhang En had to have the Dragon Gate completely under his control.
Zhang En watched them coldly, as long as one of them dared to speak up to express objection, he would execute that person on the spot.
Silence enveloped the large hall until each of them could hear their own breath.
"I am willing to open my sea of souls to the Sovereign to be marked!" After struggling and pondering over some issues internally, finally one of the Domain Leaders knelt down once more.
Seeing that there were first people willing, one by one, the other Domain Leaders also went to their knees, showing their willingness to let Zhang En stamp their sea of souls. It went without saying that every Domain Leader was aware of the fact that giving up resistance would only lead to death, just like Gu Wen.
Whether they really wanted to or not, all those Domain Leaders opened their sea of souls and Zhang En marked the spiritual marks on each of their souls one by one with ease. After all was done, Zhang En finally felt relieved.
Needless to say, Zhao Shu, Zhang Fu, and the Dragon Gate Elders were not subject to the same requirement of having soul marks stamped on their sea of souls. Zhang En was well aware of Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu's absolute loyalty, and despite the cruel torture carried out by the Elders of the Dragon Gate this was carried out by Chen Tianqi and the Black Crow Sect, none of them turned away from their loyalty towards the Dragon Gate and it was very clearly visible for everyone to see.
Furthermore, Zhang En asked Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu to announce some changes to the sect rules he had made.
Zhang En also made some new rules, one of which was, the top authority or disciples who betrayed the Dragon Gate would end up as food for the Poisonous Corpse Beetle.
After Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu recited Zhang En's new edict, Zhang En inquired about the overall situation of the Dragon Gate, saying, and also have each Domain Leader and Elder report the events occurring in the region and branch under their jurisdiction. When all the Domain Leaders and Elders were done with their reports, Zhang En gained a better understanding of the distribution of the troops and the territory of the Dragon Gate.
Currently, the territory under the reign of the Dragon Gate numbered thirty-six Domains, including the Dragon Gate Headquarters Center. There were seven divisions on each branch, while the thirty-five branches outside each were governed by each Domain Leader.
The great hall of the Dragon Gate was built at the peak of the Heavenly Phoenix Mountain. Around the other peaks, there were thirty side lined halls, such as the Medicine Pill Hall, the Punishment Hall, the Cultivation Technique Legacy Hall, the Martial Combat Hall, and so on. These thirty-two halls were under the supervision of the Dragon Gate Elders.
This was a rough map of the distribution of the authority of the Dragon Gate.
But, from their report, Zhang En realized that within the thirty-six Domains under the control of the Dragon Gate, there were many large and small families and sect forces that were under his control, and not all of their hearts were truly heartfelt megabdi and loyal to the Dragon Gate.
There was a network of connections that bound the greater family power in the Dragon Gate realm among the twelve other superpowers in the Star Cloud Continent who had autonomously pushed the Gate's not-so-essential attitude Dragon.
A total of fifteen great families spearheaded this resistance.
By the time the Domain Leader finished their report, a cold expression hung on Zhang En's face.
Zhao Shu spoke, “The Ruler, the Lord of the Star God Sect and the Old Sovereign have always held old grudges and the relationship between us has never been good. Ever since news of the disappearance of the old Sovereign spread, the Star God Cult had been suppressing the Dragon Gate for many years now. This was the main reason why this great family dared to act so blatantly. In fact, our Dragon Gate used to rule over fifty-two Domains, but ever since the old Sovereign disappeared.. ” Zhao Shu's Sentences stopped at that moment.
That unspoken meaning hung clearly in the air.
The Dragon Gate originally had fifty-two Domains in the Star Cloud Continent, but now only thirty-six remained under their rule. These sixteen 'lost' Dimains without exception all fell into the hands of the Star God Cult.
Zhang Fu added, "Ruler, there is another matter that this subordinate wants to report."
"Tell me."
Zhang Fu continued respectfully, “In this Star Cloud Continent, every hundredth year, there is a martial arts fighting competition So far, so far, This Martial Battle was called the Great Martial Exchange which had been held thirteen times. This was an event held together by the twelve superpowers of the Thunder Cloud Continent."
“Oh, Martial Exchange?” Zhang En's interest was triggered when he saw Zhang Fu.
“True... Each year of this Great Martial Exchange event, out of all twelve superpowers would overhaul the ranks within twelve powers, this subordinate was worried that this time, this time, it would be, The Star God Sect Leader will take this opportunity to attack Young Master Zhang." Zhang Fu said with great concern.
Zhao Shu's expression reflected Zhang Fu's attitude, “Participation of all twelve of these powers is mandatory. In addition, participants are not allowed to use outside help.” This was Zhao Shu's main concern.
Not being allowed to use outside help meant that Zhang En would not be able to use the Toxic Corpse Beetle. By simply relying on his own strength, he was not the opponent of the Star God Sect Leader.
Not to mention, other than the Star God Cult Leader, if the Distinct Void Door Sovereign or the White Phoenix House Sovereign wanted to kill Zhang En, it was as easy as flicking their fingers.
Zhang En frowned, asking, "How long has this event been held?"
"It's been running for the last ninety-seven years." Zhao Shu replied.
"Means there's still three more years for the next event to be held again!"
"Three years!" The frown on Zhang En's forehead deepened.
Zhang En waved his hand, telling everyone from the great hall to disperse.
•••
Standing under the silvery moonlight, Zhang En was thinking of a way to reach the realm of the high-tier Heavenly God Realm within three years. In the end, he could only put his hopes on the twelve primordial divine dragon bodies.
If he could purify those twelve primordial god dragons, perhaps he would have a good chance of successfully advancing beyond the realm of the God Sage and breaking through to an even higher realm.
