Peerless Taoist

"This is the Heavenly Charging Pass, not the Qi King Manor!"    

The generals present were all furious. They had long since been displeased with Cong Zijin, and now was the time to flare up. All of them roared in rage.    

Leng Wuxiang also mocked from the side, "The one I hated the most was your old master. The frontlines have clearly suffered countless casualties, but all you said was a simple sentence. Hand over the territory that you are defending to another country. If you are in our Devil Sect, you will be punished by the Five Ghosts for cutting off your flesh. "    

The Tianchong Pass had many generals, and the atmosphere in the meeting room became tense.    

The officials of the Duke's Manor who were sitting on the other side also stood up, revealing nervous expressions.    

Unexpectedly, Cong Zijin suddenly took out a decree from his sleeve and slowly unfolded it.    

"Pass on the decree of the king, in order to ensure peace and stability in the overall situation. The soldiers of the Tianchong Pass were not allowed to fight on their own, and they were not allowed to resist the Tang army to take over the pass. All magical artifacts of good quality and above are sealed in the treasury, only leaving behind some basic magical artifacts. They are used to maintain the stability of the city." Cong Zijin unfolded the decree and shouted arrogantly.    

As his voice fell, the decree instantly released a powerful pressure, descending upon the entire guest hall.    

This was a decree personally written by King Qi.    

It also contained King Qi's supreme magical energy.    

At this moment, everyone in the reception hall felt a sharp pressure weighing down on their heads.    

"How dare King Qi!? How dare he!?"    

Song Qingfeng was both shocked and furious.    

The other generals' eyes were completely red, and their lungs were about to explode from anger.    

This was to make them not resist and give away their precious territory.    

The most infuriating thing was that they had to seal all their magical artifacts in their warehouses. In other words, King Qi wanted to make all of the soldiers lose the ability to resist.    

To soldiers, sealing up their weapons and waiting to be slaughtered was no different from surrendering!    

Song Qingfeng loudly shouted, "I, Tian Chong Pass, belong to the Imperial Court, not King Qi's official. His decree has no right to interfere with the affairs of my Tian Chong Pass."    

Ever since the Emperor of Taiqian had cut off the imperial authority, the power that the Personal Kings held was no longer as great as it had been in the past.    

Although it was a nominal territory, King Qi could at most control a region around his estate. All the officials in the Xing River belonged to the Imperial Court. At most, only a portion of the tax revenue was sent to the King's Residence.    

But now, King Qi was planning to interfere in government affairs!    

Cong Zijin disdainfully smiled and began to decreed, "The Governor of East Victory unfortunately died in battle. King Qi will temporarily take over the governor's authority. Today, all of you must listen to my orders! "    

The decree was unfolded, and shockingly, a bright red seal of "Governor of East Victory" was stamped on it!    

This official seal contained the destiny of the Heavenly Dynasty, and it was impossible to fake it.    

"You!" Song Qingfeng's eyes widened and he could not say a word.    

He heard that the Governor of East Victory had been fighting at the front line. Who would have thought that the Governor was already dead?    

There was no precedent for a vassal to take over the Governor's authority.    

But this was one thing. King Qi had taken over the Governor's authority, and the first order he issued was for the border guards to disarm and surrender.    

This was a great humiliation.    

"What are you all standing there for? Are you trying to defy the king's orders?" Under the flickering golden light of the decree, Cong Zijin appeared incomparably majestic, high and mighty.    

Suddenly, his gaze landed on Lu Yu, and he said in a deep voice, "Lord Lu, the king's decree is here. Don't you know the rules?"
