When the four vice lords received the report, they were all incredulous.

"What did you say?"

"The Lord's Mansion was actually attacked?"

Such a thing, they had not seen in ages.

Even back when Jin Chong seized the previous lord's position and waged a tremendous battle, that battle erupted elsewhere.

As the core area of the territory, the Lord's Mansion had never been violated.

After a brief shock, the vice lords were all filled with anger.

It's like defiling sacred ground, who has such boldness?

"Who did it?"

"He said his name is Jiang Cheng."

"Which Jiang Cheng?"

"Could it be the Jiang Cheng who killed three Realm Masters?"

"What? It's him?"

"We didn't go after him, he should be grateful for narrowly escaping death, yet he dares to provoke us?"

"Destroy him!"

All four vice lords gathered their forces and marched out furiously.

Meanwhile, the outskirts of the Lord's Mansion were already surrounded three layers deep.

The grand lord's palace being bombarded was unprecedented in the history of the Celestial Rainbow Territory. Almost all the cultivators here crowded around to watch the spectacle.

Upon hearing that it was Jiang Cheng, everyone was extremely shocked.

"It's said that this person killed three Realm Masters, and now he dares to be arrogant here?"

"He's not hiding, but dares to show himself?"

"He's courting death, provoking the lord, this person is doomed!"

"The lord won't need to act, any vice lord can take him down!"

Listening to the crowd's chatter, Gong Qing was extremely anxious.

"My lord, we should leave here quickly."

"What are you saying? We can't leave empty-handed after finally arriving."

Brother Cheng was still planning to take out some Emperor Realm Fourth Layer cultivators to increase his Immortal Yuan Points several times over. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Facing the surrounding cultivators' gaze, he was not only unperturbed but greeted them grandiosely.

"Hahaha, hello, everyone!"

"Friends at the back, how are you? If you can't see, fly a bit higher!"

"Yes, I am the Jiang Cheng you've been thinking about!"

"Previously, I just killed three Realm Masters, small scene, stay calm, everyone."

Seeing him make an appearance like a celebrity, everyone's mouths twitched.

You're about to be killed, and yet you're so flamboyant?

"Where is Jiang Cheng?"

"Get out of the way! Let Jiang Cheng come forward to die quickly!"

"Damn, how dare he be so arrogant?"

The four vice lords charged forward fiercely, causing chaos among the crowd, with some cultivators squeezed so hard they fell from the sky.

Gong Qing's heart was in her throat.

What should I do, what should I do?

It's over now.

She hadn't had time to convince Lang Zhi, the former lord's confidant, nor had she approached Geng River and Mo Nian, the other two vice lords.

And now Jiang Cheng's reckless attack has given the opposite party an extremely bad impression.

The possibility of winning them over has drastically reduced.

While myriad thoughts raced through the advisor's mind, Lord Jiang brazenly strode forward.

"Are you the leaders here?"

He didn't recognize any of them, thinking Jin Chong might be one of these four.

"You're Jiang Cheng?"

Looking at the Emperor Realm First Layer's apparent realm, the four were a bit perplexed.

How did someone of this realm kill those three Realm Masters?

Could he be concealing his power?

Vice Lord Yan Zun brandished his True Artifact, a Fourth Layer's pressure directly attacking.

"Foolish, daring to walk into a trap!"

Just as he was about to strike, an elderly man of late-stage Emperor Realm Third Layer suddenly shouted and squeezed in from the back.

"Wait!"

"Vice Lord Yan, please wait!"

Yan Zun frowned: "What is it?"

This elder was one of the advisors under the lord.

In terms of status, even above the outside Realm Masters.

The elder stumbled into the fray, pointing at Jiang Cheng with disbelief, mouth agape: "He, he..."

"What's with him?"

Yan Zun and the other vice lords were a bit impatient.

Meanwhile, two more experts of late-stage Emperor Realm Third Layer outside shouted.

"It's him!"

"So it's him!"

"Lord Jin Chong was killed by this person last time!"

"The Lord's Mark is on this person!"

These words, like a bolt from the blue, shocked everyone's minds, causing ongoing explosions.

Many only realized then that Lord Jin Chong was dead.

"What? The lord was killed by this person?"

"How could this be?"

"The grand lord is just gone?"

"No wonder there's been no Origin Aura these days, turns out the lord was in trouble?"

"Damn, no wonder he's so arrogant, his power is that strong?"

"Won't he become the new lord?"

The most shocked among them was Gong Qing.

She was utterly stunned.

On the way here, she imagined countless scenarios of what might happen upon encountering Jin Chong.

Now those assumptions were all overturned.

Because Jin Chong would not appear again.

He was killed by Jiang Cheng beforehand.

How is this possible?

I've been with him all the way, never saw him leave.

Could it be before I met him?

How did he kill Jin Chong?

He can even take out a powerful lord?

This, this is too unbelievable!

She stared at Jiang Cheng with disbelief, full of small question marks.

What happened, what's going on?

Even Advisor Gong, as smart as she was, was utterly bewildered.

Sensing her shocked gaze, along with the crowd's incredulous discussions, Brother Cheng felt immensely satisfied with his show of bravado.

He checked the system and approved. Not bad, not bad.

This time he gained over three hundred thousand reputation points, enough to exchange for over three hundred Immortal Yuan Points.

Making easy gains is delightful.

Once the surrounding crowd was sufficiently shocked, he gestured for calm.

"Alright, alright, stay calm, stay calm!"

"This is just basic operation, nothing to be surprised about."

"Next, it's time to get down to business."

With this, he raised the Shattered Glass Sword aiming at the four vice lords opposite.

"Come on, it's time for us to get down to business."

He had no thoughts of winning anyone over or persuading them.

Just take them all out, right?

If the fight isn't going well, just use the system cheat to keep going, simple, why complicate things?

On the opposite side, Yan Zun took a deep breath. He knew Jin Chong was dead beforehand but didn't expect it to be Jiang Cheng's doing.

Suppressing his surprise, he regained his composure.

"Let's join forces to kill him and reclaim the mark!"

Although Jiang Cheng's apparent realm was hard to believe could kill Jin Chong, he dared not act arrogantly alone.

With four vice lords joining forces, it should not be a problem.

However, before he charged ahead, Lang Zhi rushed out and cried out.

"Welcome the new lord!"

Then, he sheathed his Ice Sword, bowed slightly to Sect Leader Jiang, showing his allegiance.

Yan Zun was furious: "Lang Zhi, what are you doing? He's the enemy who killed Lord Jin Chong!"

"Geng River, Mo Nian, join me in slaying him!"
