34: Chapter 34 Signing in again

The southern part of the Imperial Dynasty.

The destruction of the Xuantian Holy Land and the execution of the Marquis of Zhennan were like a storm sweeping across the world—it came fiercely and left just as quickly.

What was left behind was a scene of devastation, endless panic, and... an eerie silence.

Wang Chen was well aware of the various ugly behaviors and struggles of the Jianghu Sects and local officials in the south, who were like birds frightened by the mere twang of a bow, through his perception via the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the Power of Imperial Fortune.

However.

He did not pay them much attention.

He did not even issue any new orders to deal with those trembling officials.

Because he knew.

The seeds of fear had been buried deep; there was no need for more blood to water them for the time being.

Ever since the two major malignant tumors—the Xuantian Holy Land and the Zhennan Marquis Mansion—were uprooted, the final barrier symbolizing the south's detachment from his control had been completely shattered, and a massive, pure surge of the Imperial Dynasty's Luck rose up.

It crossed thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, surging powerfully into the main torrent of the Imperial Dynasty's Luck at the center!

Wang Chen could clearly feel that his connection to the entire Imperial Dynasty had become even tighter.

Even his strength.

had vaguely touched the threshold of the Land Immortal Realm; he was just one step away.

That legendary realm now seemed to be right before his eyes, within reach!

"It is soon... just a little more and I will have a Breakthrough..."

Wang Chen closed his eyes to look within, sensing the powerful energy inside his body, and a smile could not help but appear at the corners of his mouth.

The feedback of Luck brought about by pacifying the south far exceeded his expectations.

He knew very well in his heart.

Strength is always the most important thing.

No matter what he encountered, and no matter how powerful the enemy was, as long as his strength was sufficient, there was nothing that could not be solved.

After the initial extreme panic and chaos, the southern officialdom actually began to spontaneously and tremblingly get back on the "right track."

Every day.

Mountains of memorials were sent from all over the south to the Imperial City by fast horses.

The contents of these memorials were varied; some reported that public order was "excellent" recently, some asked for instructions on insignificant administrative matters, and some sang praises and expressed loyalty.

There were even those who voluntarily reported the illegal activities of their former colleagues...

It was as if overnight, all the officials had become diligent and loyal capable ministers, and their loyalty to the Imperial Dynasty had reached an unprecedented height.

However, regarding this.

Wang Chen did not pay attention to it, but handed all matters over to the ministers in the court to handle, only reporting to him if there were matters they could not decide on.

Besides.

With the Embroidered Uniform Guard watching those ministers, they dared not show any slackness at all.

Not only that.

All the ministers had also become an Incarnation of workaholics; even those elderly regent ministers worked more than ten hours a day, not daring to slack off in the slightest, for fear of being caught by the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

As time passed.

The news of the southern upheaval, accompanied by the intentional or unintentional fueling by the Embroidered Uniform Guard, spread rapidly to every corner of the entire Tianxuan Dynasty as if it had grown wings.

In the north, the Nine Nether Sect.

In that gloomy underground palace, strange laughter was no longer frequent; it was replaced by frequent secret discussions and even more covert actions, and the Disciples were strictly ordered to restrain themselves and were not allowed to openly provoke local government offices again.

In the east, the Wuji Holy Land.

The discussions between the Holy Master and the Elders included many heavy topics about the "Imperial Dynasty," the "Embroidered Uniform Guard," and the "number of Celestial Realm experts," and the restrictions on affiliated forces were significantly strengthened.

In the west, the Sword Pavilion.

The mountain, straight as a sword, seemed to feel the invisible pressure as well; the Disciples of the Sword Pavilion became much more low-key when going out for training, and the sharp, overbearing, and arrogant aura of the past had quietly restrained itself a lot.

The three major super forces chose to remain silent and wait and see, coincidentally.

They did not take the initiative to show goodwill or provoke the Imperial Dynasty, but they all tacitly recalled the Disciples who were acting ostentatiously outside and strictly disciplined them.

For a time.

Throughout the entire Imperial Dynasty, the previously rampant incidents of "violating the law with martial arts," Jianghu vendettas affecting civilians, and Sect Disciples bullying locals suddenly decreased by more than half!

The most obvious change occurred within the Imperial Dynasty itself.

Not only did the officials in the south of the Imperial Dynasty change, but the local officials in the north, west, and east seemed to have "remembered" their duties at this moment.

They began to submit memorials every few days, the content of which was nothing more than reporting "peace and tranquility" and "smooth administration and harmonious people," and expressing "resolute support" and "immediate execution" of the court's latest decrees.

In an instant.

The decrees of the Imperial Dynasty seemed to have become incomparably "smooth" all of a sudden.

The entire Tianxuan Dynasty.

Seemed to have entered an unprecedented, "eerie" yet "harmonious" period.

All directions bowed their heads.

Decrees flowed smoothly.

The seas were calm and the rivers were clear!

And the reason why Wang Chen did not liquidate and reorganize the entire Imperial Dynasty.

It was not that he did not want to, but that he could not for the time being!

Why?

Because he lacked people!

He lacked talents who were truly loyal and capable of helping him manage this vast Imperial Dynasty!

Killing people was simple.

If one were to really count the officials of the entire Imperial Dynasty, there were few who did not deserve to be killed, but if he killed them all, who would manage this vast Imperial Dynasty?

Wang Chen needed time.

The Embroidered Uniform Guard were sharp knives that could cut away obstacles and deter all directions, but they were not good at detailed civil administration and long-term local governance.

The existing bureaucratic System was rotten, and its loyalty was questionable, making it difficult to rely on.

He needed a brand-new, capable, and absolutely loyal team to gradually replace that deadwood.

Only by completely controlling the Imperial Dynasty and gathering more powerful Power of Imperial Fortune could he be helped to step into a higher level!

Therefore.

He was waiting!

Waiting for the turning point brought by the next sign-in of the System.

He hoped to sign in for a talent capable of assisting a king in handling state affairs!

Just when the whole world was holding its breath and watching the wind direction of the Imperial City.

Time passed quietly.

In the blink of an eye.

More than twenty days had passed.

On this day, Wang Chen was, as usual, in the Yangxin Hall, contemplating the Imperial Dynasty's Luck.

Suddenly.

A voice rang out in his mind.

[Ding! Detected that the System sign-in count has refreshed!]

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining a sign-in opportunity. Would the Host like to sign in?]

The System's prompt, like sweet rain after a long drought, rang out in Wang Chen's mind!

"It is here!"

Wang Chen's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened.

He did not hesitate in the slightest; as soon as the System prompt ended, he immediately gave the order in his heart.

"System, sign in!"

[Ding! The System is signing in...]
