Chapter 162 The Yi Tribe Establishes a Government and Accepts Disciples

This enraged Tuoba Lei, especially the way he looked at the Guan family head, as if he had been betrayed.

When he looked at the Azure Dragon Gang Leader again, he was shocked to find a large gash in the man's chest, with flesh turned inside out, revealing white bones and the pulsating organs inside.

"How...how is this possible!"

The leader of the Azure Dragon Gang was even more shocked. This was the difference between a rogue cultivator and a disciple of a major sect. It was easy for a lower-level cultivator to defeat a higher-level one, let alone someone who was only one level higher than Wang Yu.

There is almost no difference.

With his perfected Frost Sword Qi, it was comparable to a full-force strike from a mid-Foundation Establishment stage cultivator. Add to that the unparalleled strength of a second-stage Body Refinement cultivator, as well as the environmental amplification brought by the double stacking of Frozen Rain and Snowfall Techniques.

Wang Yu's normal attacks are more powerful than the Azure Dragon Gang Leader's trump cards. If he were to unleash a suitable magical weapon, he would die without having to use his full strength.

Everyone present was shocked, as if they were reminded of Zhuo Kuangsheng a hundred years ago, when he fought against the Purple Dragon Mountain Master, who was in the Core Formation stage, with his peak Foundation Establishment cultivation and won with only minor injuries!

Although the challenges they face today are not as significant as they were back then, they have greatly broadened their horizons.

The smaller forces in the northern city were immediately shaken and showed a tendency to move towards the "safe zone," but Tuoba Lei angrily retorted.

"So what if you can fight across borders? I don't believe you can defeat an eighth-level Foundation Establishment cultivator!"

Having said that, he brandished a horse-slaying saber and charged low towards Wang Yu. His momentum was indeed strong, but Wang Yu had already lost patience.

The token in the storage bag was activated, and the entire city lord's mansion trembled, triggering a mid-grade third-order magic array powered by the underground spiritual vein.

Golden chains emerged from the ground, binding everyone except those from the Fragrance Sect. Tuoba Lei, the Bai family head, and others struggled desperately.

However, he found that his internal energy showed no reaction whatsoever.

This is the [Spirit Sealing and Life-Slaying Formation], which combines binding, sealing, killing, and defense into one, and cannot be broken by anyone below the peak of the Core Formation stage!

"Plop—"

Swallowing hard, the Bai family head begged for mercy.

"Lord! Lord City Lord, I am innocent! It's all this barbarian's fault for spouting nonsense and threatening me in secret. Otherwise, I would definitely be standing over there. I am a loyal subject."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yu burst into laughter.

"Very well, since you are a loyal subject, then I, the city lord, will grant you death. Are you happy now?"

The Bai family head, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, was suddenly filled with dread.

"You little brat, you dare to play me? You killed me, and the Ancestor will never let you get away with it. So what if there's a formation? Do you think you'll never leave the mansion for the rest of your life?!"

"No."

Wang Yu shook his head.

"The Bai family patriarch will come to apologize, and you will become a traitor to Guiling City. At that time, you will have to pay tribute with 80% of the treasures and spirit stones you have earned. Then I will spare the Bai family. Are you satisfied?"

"you--

"This is outrageous! General Tuoba, I remember your token can also control formations."

Tuoba Lei blushed and murmured as if he had grasped a lifeline: "Yes, I still have the token. I modified the formation."

But no matter how much he urged him, the authority remained in Wang Yu's hands.

In reality, Tuoba Lei was holding a management token.

He does possess some authority, but it is far inferior to Wang Yu's City Lord's Decree. Under his control, Tuoba would not be able to obtain even a trace of the array's power.

When Zhuo Kuangsheng ruled Guiling City, the city lord's mansion's formation was never activated. Although he knew that there was a formation set up by the Holy Sect here during the hundred years that the Tuoba family had occupied the city, he was still aware of it.

However, the token he possesses can also control the power of this formation. He has consulted many formation masters, hoping to transform it into a formation completely under his control.

Logically speaking, it should have succeeded.

Could we have been scammed?

These damn array masters, they think they can fool him because they don't understand array patterns! They really treated him like an idiot and still gave him a lot of spirit stones.

Thinking of this, Tuoba Lei looked up and spat out a mouthful of blood.

I was so angry that I lost my temper.

Seeing this, Wang Yu sighed inwardly. After all, he was a guy who had climbed up from the bottom. He had plenty of ruthlessness, but lacked a bit of shrewdness and vision.

Back then, with Zhuo Kuangsheng around, no matter how arrogant and domineering Tuoba Lei was, he had the Zhuo family as his backing, and he was treated with respect in everything. After being a fox borrowing the tiger's power for a long time, he really thought that he had become a tiger himself.

Daring to bare their fangs at Wang Yu, who was appointed by the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect and the Zhuo Clan, and even summoning everyone for no reason, they are both stupid and wicked, which only makes things easier for Wang Yu.

As the formation was activated, the sound of Vajra Chains tearing through the air was incessant. In no time, all the Tuoba family members living in the city lord's mansion were bound together like earthworms.

All of them were delivered to this bluestone square.

There were more than 500 people, including many rogue cultivators who had been recruited. All of them were at the Qi Refining stage, except for one middle-aged man who was at the Foundation Establishment stage 4.

He was another pillar of the Tuoba family.

Wang Yu took a step forward, and a pair of Frost Moon Wings made of ice crystals unfolded behind him. The wingspan was three meters, and the cold air flowed down like smoke. His speed was as fast as lightning.

In an instant, it appeared directly above the city lord's mansion, its voice like thunder.

"I, Wang Yu, have been appointed by the Holy Sect as the new city lord of Guiling City. I have just arrived today and have already heard that the Holy Sect's city has been invaded by the vicious Tuoba dogs. They truly deserve to be executed!"

"This city lord hereby decrees: The Tuoba family shall be exterminated!"

"Five villains from the Northern City, led by the Azure Dragon Gang leader, are sentenced to... beheading and soul-devouring!"

"Even the greatest evil has its accomplices. Tian, ​​the head of the Bai family, is also sentenced to beheading today. His body will be hung on the city gate for a month to show you all that you should serve the Holy Emperor to the death and not have any other thoughts!"

Wang Yu's words, delivered with a simple amplification technique after mastering music, caused the judgment notice to spread throughout the city.

This immediately caused a huge uproar.

The group of people standing on the side of the Ink Painting Sect and the Fragrance Sect were even more astonished upon hearing this. The old man from Purple Dragon Mountain and the head of the Guan family looked at each other, their bodies covered in cold sweat.

Only the Jiang family head looked at Wang Yu, who was displaying great power, with a complicated expression, as if he were seeing the same arrogant and domineering person from a hundred years ago.

After everyone had recovered their senses, the head of the Guan family whispered.

"This man... is he insane? Does he really dare to kill so many people? The Tuoba family is one thing, but he even dared to touch the Bai family head..."

Before he finished speaking, Wang Yu shook hands with everyone from afar.

The Vajra Chains unleash their deadly power.

More than 500 people were all minced into a bloody pulp, and blood and flesh rained down. But it wasn't over yet. Wang Yu opened his mouth and took a light breath.

"Swallow the soul!"

Once the demonic magic was used, everyone's souls were extracted, turning into streaks of gray light that all entered Wang Yu's body.

The Black Fiend Armor materialized automatically. What was originally just a small piece of pitch-black armor with a pattern of wailing human faces was instantly filled with living souls, exuding a terrifying aura, as if the Lord of Demons Moro were alive!

Wang Yu always used this Soul-Devouring Evil Armor Technique with great caution, because if it devoured too many souls, it would cause him to suffer the calamity of being "devoured by evil spirits".

But this opportunity is rare. Seven Foundation Establishment cultivators and five hundred Qi Refining cultivators are enough to bring the power of this extraordinary technique to the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage. It can be considered a stroke of luck.

In the past, he had mastered this technique through the placement of the railing, and had only suffered a minor backlash once, which was hardly enough to affect his soul.

But after today, these evil spirits could turn on him at any moment.

This suited him perfectly.

The combination of the Ancient Soul Technique and the Taiyin Nether Eyes made cultivation a bit too smooth, leading to his divine sense power improving every day, expanding as if there were no bottlenecks.

This is a good opportunity to hone one's divine sense by using these evil spirits, and to continuously solidify one's foundation so that when a tall building is constructed in the future, the base will be stable enough.

He not only needs to cultivate quickly, but also needs to progress steadily. Not to mention the combat power to defeat a major realm, he must at least be among the top in his realm.

After the thunder comes the emperor's grace.

The carrot and stick approach has been the go-to method for taming intelligent beings since ancient times.

Having established rules and gained dignity, it was time to show his kind and approachable side. As the black armor dissipated, Wang Yu landed in front of everyone.

Behind him was a square littered with dismembered limbs and pieces of flesh, filled with the stench of blood, enough to frighten even a well-trained adult to tears. Yet, his fair and handsome face wore a gentle smile.

It was as if the barbarian soul-devourer from just now had nothing to do with him.

"Gentlemen, the traitor has been executed. From now on, the governance of Guiling City will continue according to the old rules. We will also need your continued assistance in governing this city together."

Of course, that's just what they say, but anyone who takes it seriously is a fool.

The head of the Guan family hurriedly stepped forward and bowed deeply.

"I admire the City Lord's divine might and will follow his lead from now on."

Wang Yu glanced at him. This guy was a typical opportunist who would follow whoever offered the best treatment, a fence-sitter with no bottom line, but this time he set a good example.

"Rise. Fellow cultivators are all above me in cultivation, so there's no need for formalities."

The female cultivator from the Fragrance Sect said, "Although this is Guiling City, it is still under the rule of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect. The city lord represents the face of the Holy Sect, and etiquette cannot be disregarded."

Getting it right!

Wang Yu was very satisfied with him, but he still shook his head repeatedly, which made the others have to comfort him.

After three attempts to decline and three attempts to persuade him, he finally went through the process and assumed the position of city lord.

After a pause, Wang Yu spoke.

"Half a month later, the spirit testing ceremony for this year will be held ahead of schedule. The city lord's mansion is in dire need of reconstruction. Not only will a group of people need to be recruited, but the current city defense army will also need to be replaced."

"Furthermore, I have decided to select disciples from the Guan and Jiang families. If any of the three sects have extra manpower, may I borrow them temporarily?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces lit up with joy.

With the Tuoba family gone and the Bai family excluded from the center of power, it was the perfect time to divide the spoils and establish new factions.

Although Wang Yu's cultivation level was not high, he was still a genuine Foundation Establishment cultivator, more than capable of taking on disciples.

This move was not a genuine acceptance of a disciple, but rather a gesture of goodwill towards the Guan and Jiang families, much like a marriage alliance between powerful clans, and was intended to form a genuine alliance.

This is great news; no one would refuse it.

Guiling City is a fertile land, and Wang Yu is not yet capable of taking it all over. Naturally, he needs to gather a group of allies with shared interests. At the beginning, there may be unrest among the people and the foundation may be unstable.

But once he has a shell, with time and gradual processing, he will eventually be able to build a power base with himself at the top.

In the short term, as long as he doesn't leave Guiling City, he is safe.

Even the three major families in the city have to do everything they can to protect his life, otherwise if he dies in the city, the people of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect will definitely launch a major purge.
