40: Chapter 40 Dealing with Jianghu Forces!

Wang Chen didn't expect this either.

This time, not only did he have a Breakthrough, but he also broke through directly to the Peak of the Land Immortal Realm.

The most critical part is this: he was only a tiny bit away from another Breakthrough.

He could clearly feel that even without borrowing the Imperial Dynasty's Power of Imperial Fortune, if given ten days or half a month, he could break through to the next Realm on his own.

You have to know, the current him is incomparable to his past self.

Possessing the Sacred Body, his talent is no longer what it used to be.

In the past, even after becoming a powerhouse in the Celestial Realm, he always felt like there was a membrane separating him from this world, preventing him from seeing things clearly.

But now?

Looking around, the entire world felt brand new, and the operation of the power of heaven and earth was clearly visible.

Even the Law, which Land Immortals Cultivate, appeared clearly before his eyes.

It was like a beautiful woman who was previously wearing a big cotton coat and trousers, where you could barely tell she was a woman.

Now, she had suddenly stripped naked, and even the hair on her body could be seen clearly!

In short, it was simply amazing.

Even without borrowing the Power of Imperial Fortune, with his current talent, he could become a super powerhouse in the future!

Actually, the increase in strength wasn't the most important thing.

What made him happiest was that the Cultivation Technique obtained from the System check-in contained detailed methods for utilizing the Power of Imperial Fortune.

The Power of Imperial Fortune could not only enhance his own strength but also the strength of others.

And for anyone whose strength had been enhanced by him using the Power of Imperial Fortune, if they ever showed signs of betraying the Imperial Dynasty, they would be backlashed by the Power of Imperial Fortune immediately!

At best, they would lose all their cultivation; at worst, they would perish on the spot!

Another point is that as long as it is within the area covered by the Imperial Dynasty's Luck, Wang Chen can instantly use the Power of Imperial Fortune to arrive at any location.

According to the System's introduction, above the Land Immortal Realm are the Dharma Manifestation Realm, Cave Heaven Realm, Unity Realm, Domain Realm, Immortal Realm, Eternal Realm...

And the Imperial Destiny Power that Wang Chen currently masters is similar to the Domain possessed by a powerhouse in the Domain Realm.

In fact, in some aspects, it is even stronger!

Of course, this doesn't mean Wang Chen's current strength is greater than someone in the Domain Realm, just that the Power of Imperial Fortune he Cultivates has more applications in certain aspects...

"Hmm? These Jianghu forces are truly ignorant of what is good for them. They still can't recognize the situation now; they are truly courting death!"

After adapting to his own strength, Wang Chen observed the entire Tianxuan Dynasty through the Power of Imperial Fortune.

Originally, he thought that with the strength the Imperial Dynasty had shown, those Jianghu forces should be able to recognize the situation.

After all, whether it was the civil officials led by Prime Minister Zhuge Dali or the generals led by General Chu Batian, the strength they displayed was enough for those Jianghu forces to know their place.

But now it seems he thought too much; those Jianghu forces still hadn't made the right choice.

Wang Chen's mind stirred.

There was no need for pen and ink, no need for a seal, and he didn't even need to speak in person.

He simply infused his will into the Imperial Dynasty's Luck.

The next moment.

Within the Tianxuan Dynasty, in all one hundred and eight cities, whether it was the city lord presiding over the center or the commander of the city defense army, they simultaneously "heard" a voice in their minds.

The voice was not transmitted through their ears but rang directly in the depths of their Souls.

It was grand, majestic, and cold, carrying an unquestionable ultimate will, as if it were a divine decree, branded directly into them.

[Transmit My decree!]

[From this day forth, within the Imperial Dynasty, all Jianghu Gangs, Sects, and any armed organizations not established by the Imperial Dynasty must disband on the spot within three days. City lords and garrison commanders of each city shall supervise this immediately.]

[Once the three-day deadline is reached, those who have not disbanded will be treated as traitors.]

[Where the Imperial Dynasty's blade points, no living thing shall remain.]

The content of the decree was extremely brief.

There was no explanation, and even less room for negotiation; there was only a cold command.

At the same time, accompanying this "imperial decree" that sounded directly in their minds, all the officials who received the order saw a layer of golden light, visible only to themselves, faintly emerge upon their official seals or identity tokens.

The golden light faintly resonated with the majestic Imperial Dharma Image in their minds, all of which proved the authenticity of this decree.

"Come here!"

In just an instant, the city lords and city defense commanders of the one hundred and eight cities in the Imperial Dynasty all sprang into action.

If it were before, there would absolutely not have been such efficiency.

But now it was different; at this moment in the Imperial Dynasty, all the city lords and city defense commanders were loyal to the Imperial Dynasty and loyal to Wang Chen.

They would absolutely obey Wang Chen's orders unconditionally.

In less than half a day, Wang Chen's order had spread throughout the entire Tianxuan Dynasty!

The Jianghu was in an absolute uproar!

"Disband? Hand over everything? How is that possible? Is the Imperial Dynasty forcing us to our deaths?"

"My Iron Fist School has a three-hundred-year Legacy; as a dignified first-class force, how can we just disband? What do they take us for?"

"Three days? A joke! This is forcing us to rebel!"

"Rebel? What kind of joke are you making! The Xuantian Holy Land has already been destroyed by the Imperial Dynasty; are we stronger than the Xuantian Holy Land?"

"Didn't you see that Imperial Dharma Image just now? Is that kind of strength something we can resist?"

"That Imperial Dharma Image... perhaps it was just a bluff!"

"If we want to resist! Only if all our Jianghu forces unite, perhaps we will have a chance to fight against the Imperial Dynasty!"

...

Actually, many Jianghu forces are not stupid.

Don't look at how loudly they are shouting on the surface; in secret, they all have their own plans.

Resist the Imperial Dynasty?

Keep dreaming!

The Xuantian Holy Land has already been buried; what do they count for?

Besides, how could the Imperial Dynasty's actions over the past two days be hidden from them?

Now, apart from these Jianghu forces, everything else in the entire Imperial Dynasty has already submitted to the Imperial Dynasty.

What do they have to fight the Imperial Dynasty with?

There is simply no chance whatsoever; in front of the Imperial Dynasty, they are nothing but a bunch of worthless rabble!

They were all shouting happily.

But within a day, basically all the Jianghu forces within the entire Tianxuan Dynasty had taken the initiative to go to the City Lord's Mansion to report their disbandment.

Of course, among these forces, the reactions of the three major Holy Lands were all different.

The fastest to react was actually the "Nine Nether Sect"!

They went to the City Lord's Mansion to report the matter of disbandment at the first opportunity.

Furthermore, they took the initiative to hand over everything within their Holy Land; their attitude could be described as extremely humble.

This scene also shocked many people!

You are a dignified Demonic Sect, where is your backbone?

Where is your pride?

Aren't you supposed to be "Heaven is number one, Earth is number two, and we are number three"?

Aren't you usually very arrogant?

Why were you the first to surrender?

The leader of the Nine Nether Sect didn't care what others thought.

It was true that they were a Demonic Sect, but they were not idiots.

As the only Demonic Sect in the Tianxuan Dynasty, and also the one with the most members, their news was very well-informed.

Regarding everything that had happened in the Imperial Dynasty over the past two days, even if they didn't know it like the back of their hand, they at least understood a rough idea.

Just in the Imperial Dynasty alone, to their knowledge, there were seven or eight powerhouses in the Celestial Realm.

And that was only the confirmed news; who knew how many more there were behind the Imperial Dynasty that they didn't know about.

The strength on the surface alone was already something they couldn't resist.

Since they couldn't resist, they might as well surrender cleanly; their Demonic Sect valued acting according to one's heart.

Did someone say they didn't want Face?

A dignified Holy Land, and they have no backbone?

Whoever said that is purely an idiot.

Face?

Is it worth anything?
