Chapter 756: Chapter 756: The Northern Region Trembles
Vice Commander Qin Yi said, "This matter is now beyond our control; we must report to Lord Domain immediately! Additionally, quickly seal off the Dutong Mansion, no one is allowed to go out!"
The fall of a Commander is extremely rare in the thousands of years of history in Qing Province.
Especially a Commander dying at the hands of a prodigy.
This makes it even more troublesome.
"Yes!"
Someone immediately responded.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The Spirit Arrays in the Dutong Mansion were activated one by one.
They could prevent everyone from going out, and also prevent anyone from sending messages.
In a secret room.
Qin Yi stood at the center, with a Token floating in front of him.
A luminescent glow scattered down, enveloping Qin Yi within.
"Vice Commander Qin, what is the urgent matter?"
Soon, a figure of light and shadow condensed in front of Qin Yi.
This was a middle-aged man with a dignified appearance.
It was the Northern Territory Governor, Jiang Bufan.
The Northern Domain is strong, and naturally, this Domain Lord Jiang Bufan is no match for other Domain Lords.
This Jiang Bufan is a supreme powerhouse with nine layers in the World Realm!
His true cultivation level is exactly nine layers in the World Realm.
Indeed, the World Realm is only nine layers.
But Emperors are not limited to nine layers!
To be precise, he is not a nine-star Emperor, but an eleven-star Emperor!
Because, he possesses an unflawed world.
Typically, only the Governors of the twelve territories have the qualifications to contact him.
A Vice Governor does not have the authority to report directly.
However, to prepare for all eventualities, the twelve territories appoint the position of Vice Governor.
It is for the purpose of sending messages during emergencies.
Thus, when Jiang Bufan saw Qin Yi contacting him, he knew something significant had happened.
"Lord Domain!"
Qin Yi quickly bowed slightly and said, "Lord Murong Qingshan, the Commander of Netherworld, has fallen!"
"Murong Qingshan is dead? Did his cultivation go awry?"
Jiang Bufan frowned.
The Governors of the Northern Territory are personally appointed by the Lord Governor.
He, being the Domain Lord, only manages in their stead.
He simply cannot appoint a Commander.
The fall of a Commander is a significant matter.
His first reaction was that Murong Qingshan’s cultivation had gone awry.
Because, to kill a Commander is to be an enemy of the Lord Governor.
In the Northern Territory, apart from when Commanders are competing, no one has dared to kill a Commander in thousands of years!
"No."
Qin Yi bitterly smiled and said, "He was killed by someone!"
"Hmm?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Bufan’s eyes widened.
Someone dared to kill a Commander; this is rebellion!
"Who?"
Jiang Bufan said in a cold voice.
Qin Yi quickly said, "It was a person called Ling Chen, a prodigious talent."
"A prodigy?"
Jiang Bufan was taken aback, then he scoffed, "Qin Yi, are you joking with me?"
Let alone a prodigy, even among the heroes capable of killing a Commander, they are few and far between.
And generally, these figures are the most famous talents in Qing Province.
Ling Chen?
I’ve never heard of him.
"It’s true!"
Qin Yi hurriedly insisted, "This person comes from the Eastern Domain, and although he only holds a prodigy Token, his strength is comparable to that of a hero. Recently, our Netherworld hero, Murong Ziyi, was defeated by him."
The matters concerning Ling Chen in Soul City still haven’t reached here.
"Oh? Ling Chen?"
Suddenly, Jiang Bufan recalled something.
Some days ago, the Commander of Soul City, Shen Linfeng, seemed to have mentioned this person, saying he defeated Lan Hongming and destroyed a small force in Soul City!
At that time, he had other important matters.
He hadn’t replied to Shen Linfeng!
Unexpectedly, in just a few days, this young man has stirred up such a big disaster!
"Lord Domain knows of this person?"
Qin Yi looked shocked.
"So it seems, the Commander’s vengeance can no longer be sought."
"How did he manage that?"
Jiang Bufan inquired.
At this moment, his expression was no longer one of anger, but of curiosity.
A prodigy, killing a Commander?
If Ling Chen were from Qing City, he wouldn’t be surprised.
But Ling Chen is from the Eastern Domain!
In such a place, even the old Emperors don’t possess this kind of capability.
Not to mention the younger generation.
Qin Yi explained, "He didn’t use any Spirit Art; instead, he utilized a Silver Sphere. Upon infusing it with Spiritual Power, it transformed into a Silver Lotus. Moreover, this Silver Lotus can track and attack as if controlled by someone."
"Track?"
Jiang Bufan’s expression hardened.
Achieving such a feat certainly wasn’t the work of an Emperor.
It must have been crafted by someone from the Great Emperor realm.
Ling Chen, a genius from the Eastern Domain, actually possessed an artifact crafted by an Emperor Realm expert.
Truly astonishing!
"Is Ling Chen still in the Netherworld?"
Jiang Bufan asked.
This matter, he needed to report to the Lord Governor.
"I don’t know. He probably has already left."
Qin Yi said.
"Hm, understood."
Jiang Bufan nodded and spoke, "Do not provoke this individual; I will handle it myself."
"Yes!"
Qin Yi promptly agreed.
Even if Jiang Bufan hadn’t said so, he wouldn’t dare provoke Ling Chen!
Who is Ling Chen?
He’s the one capable of slaughtering an eight-star Emperor!
He certainly doesn’t wish to die.
Then, Jiang Bufan vanished.
...
Qing City.
Domain Lord Mansion.
Jiang Bufan took out a Communication Token to contact Soul City’s Commander, Shen Linfeng.
"Linfeng, you didn’t move against Ling Chen, did you?"
After getting connected, Jiang Bufan urgently asked.
Another Commander had already died; he didn’t want Shen Linfeng to be the next.
"No."
Shen Linfeng shook his head and responded, "I am waiting for your instructions."
"That’s good!"
Jiang Bufan breathed a sigh of relief and then, with a serious expression, instructed, "Leave the matter of Ling Chen to me! Remember, do not provoke Ling Chen!"
"Yes, sir!"
Shen Linfeng hurriedly responded respectfully.
Although unclear about the specifics, seeing the Domain Lord so concerned about Ling Chen, it must be a significant issue!
Then, Jiang Bufan proceeded to notify the other ten Commanders.
Upon receiving the news, the Commanders naturally informed their subordinates immediately.
The Northern Region Cultivators were all shocked.
Everyone was in the dark about the specifics, but knowing the Domain Lord had personally intervened, it must be a major event.
Suddenly, the entire Northern Region was abuzz with one name, Ling Chen!
"What on earth did Ling Chen do to warrant such serious concern from the Domain Lord?"
The Netherworld Capital Commander, Fu Gu, was utterly shocked, "Could it be Ling Chen’s slaughter of numerous prodigies from the Northern Region, or perhaps his victory over the prodigy Murong Ziyi?"
Aside from these possibilities, he couldn’t think of any others.
But even defeating a prodigy wouldn’t justify the Domain Lord’s personal intervention, would it?
As for the prodigies, that’s even less likely.
The slaying of numerous prodigies wouldn’t reach the level of requiring the Domain Lord’s personal attention.
With that thought, Fu Gu immediately took out a Communication Token to contact the other eleven Commanders.
Soon, even more astonishing news arrived.
Ling Chen had defeated Lan Hongming and annihilated a major force from Soul City, the Zhao Family!
"Ling Chen must absolutely not be offended!"
The ten Commanders thought to themselves.
Fu Gu felt secretly relieved, thankful that he had fled, abandoning Murong Ziyi, without attempting to kill Ling Chen.
However, he found it odd that he was unable to contact the Netherworld Commander Murong Qingshan.
"Brother Murong must be in seclusion," Fu Gu thought to himself.
Now that even the Lord Domain himself is paying close attention to this matter, even if Murong Qingshan harbors resentments, he likely wouldn’t dare to move against Ling Chen at this time!
