"Oh, everyone's here!"
Following Zesi's words, in less than ten minutes, all the leaders of the various factions in Dafeng City appeared before Zesi.
" The Azure Emperor summoned us, how could we dare to be negligent!" Zhao Wu said with a forced smile.
"Hey, with that look on you, Ji Wuye!" Zesi said with a laugh.
Due to the passage of time, some West City have long been forgotten by people of this era.
It is said that a large amount of data was lost because a major internet virus once struck Mercury.
People now know about Pirate King, Hokage, Bleach, the Legend of Qin, Under the Outcast, and so on.
They were all obtained from the test takers of the Martial Soul Trial.
However, for Zesi, this was just an anime he had seen before he transmigrated.
So he recognized Ji Wuye at a glance, after all, the Legend of Qin Nine Songs of the Moving Heavens were both Chinese animations that Zesi liked. "Yes, yes, I didn't expect that the Azure Emperor also knew Ji Wuye!"
"I wonder what orders the Azure Emperor has summoned us for?" Zhao Wu asked. "I heard you're vying for the position of City Lord of Dafeng City?"
"The former lord of Dafeng City Uchiha Naisen, offended Azure Emperor. We were merely eliminating the remaining evil on Azure Emperor's behalf," Zhao Wu said obsequiously. "Oh, so Dafeng City belonged to that Uchiha Naisen? I didn't know that until you told me!"
"But since I killed Uchiha Naisen, that means his things are my spoils of war. So you're trying to steal my spoils!" Zesi said calmly.
Upon hearing Zesi's words, Zhao Wu and the others were shocked, and cold sweat poured down their foreheads.
"Hehehe, I've been a pirate my whole life, always stealing from others. I never thought I'd be the one getting robbed!" Zesi sneered, his eyes gleaming with an incredibly terrifying light as he swept his gaze across the crowd.
Domineering, strict, like a god or a demon, like a prison.
Then Zesi's gaze swept over him again.
Zhao Wu and the others felt their very souls tremble.
What a terrifying aura!
The sheer aura alone made it hard to breathe, and even my soul was filled with fear.
This is no joke!
Zhao Wu and the others were so frightened they were speechless.
When I first arrived, I was still thinking about some fancy moves and having some ulterior motives.
Now all of that has been thrown out of my mind.
To try and outsmart such a terrifying being is like courting death.
"However, I don't think much of Dafeng City, but it's not impossible for you to set your sights on it!" Just as everyone was breaking out in a cold sweat, Zesi said again.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Zesi's words.
"But if I just give it to you for free, people will think I'm easy to mess with. Even if they know I'm not easy to mess with, they might just call me stupid."
"Tell me, who among you wants this Dafeng City, and what are you willing to give up?" Zesi said calmly.
"I wonder what the Azure Emperor's requirements are!" Zesi Zhao Wu said calmly. "One billion credit points per year, plus 30% of the crystal income. As long as he pays enough fees, he will be the city lord of Dafeng City!"
Actually, managing a city can be very profitable.
Not to mention the rent and taxes paid by businesses in the city!
These assets directly belonging to the city lord's mansion alone amount to a considerable sum.
For many Martial Soul Masters, the Divine Desolation World is already their second world.
Not to mention, many Martial Soul have already died in their physical bodies, and they rely on their Martial Soul to survive in the Divine Wasteland Realm.
With the accumulation over so many years.
The population of the Divine Desolation World is growing ever larger.
Dafeng City is the largest city in the Heavenly Water Region.
It wouldn't be surprising to call it the capital.
It was only because Uchiha Naisen was powerful enough that she was able to support such a large operation, with annual revenue reaching astronomical figures.
However, upon hearing Zesi's words, everyone present hesitated.
One billion credits is nothing; compared to the enormous revenue of Dafeng City, it's really nothing.
However, the annual revenue of one billion, plus the requirement to hand over 30% of the crystal profits, made them hesitate.
If Dafeng City were still the same Dafeng City as before, these fees wouldn't be too high.
But things are different now. Without Uchiha Naisen, Dafeng City is just an ordinary city in Heavenly Water Region.
The profits gained will shrink significantly.
Perhaps other cities will rise up and compete with Dafeng City.
If things go wrong, we might not even be able to pay out a billion credits each year.
"... Your Azure Emperor, the Nightfall Hundred Birds are willing to pay this fee, for they are following Your Azure Emperor's lead!" Zhao Wu said through gritted teeth.
"You're not bad either, you're ambitious and have guts, I'm rooting for you!" Zesi said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zesi drew his longsword from his waist, and with a "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!" his hand trembled as he held the sword.
A series of slashes shot out, carving a skull pattern onto the city lord's mansion.
This skull pattern is the former pirate flag of the Azure Emperor Pirates.
"I won't take your things for nothing. From today onwards, I'll protect Dafeng City Dafeng City. As a member of the Azure Emperor Territory, as long as you can pay enough fees, I guarantee that even if you only have a First Tier Martial Soul, you can still hold onto the position of city lord!" Zesi said.
Upon hearing Zesi's words, Zhao Wu was overjoyed.
This means that the Azure Emperor will protect Dafeng City from now on.
There is a powerful figure ranked sixth on the Heavenly Supremacy Ranking who is backing them.
Let alone the Heavenly Water Region, even within the entire Federation, few forces dare to covet Dafeng City.
"From now on, few will dare to provoke Dafeng City in the Heavenly Water Region, or even throughout the entire Country Z and the entire Federation." " Azure Emperor, Lord Azure Emperor. From now on, all Nightfall Hundred Birds will obey your orders." "I do indeed have something for you to do!" "Please give your orders, Azure Emperor!"
