Chapter 1238: A New Official Works Hard to Show Efficiency (1/2)
The world of martial dao was a wondrous place When passion was kindled in people’s hearts, they tended to be easily persuaded by others That didn’t mean they were brainless sheep without opinions of their own, but that the world was a place with the strongest at the top When it ca lord Zhen’s exploits over the past few years were nothing less than legendary
After his exploits were dug up, many noticed that he was already a evity Pill and the Pinecrane Pill These two alone were enough to i lord Zhen had also defeated the ‘invincible’ Pill King Ji Lan–and more than once, to boot
Under the people’s intentional embellishments, his stories spread in a frenzied wave, his exceptional perfor naturally included He’d faced Emperor Shura for five rounds and crushed his opponent utterly in pill dao, beast ta, and formations, with a draw in talismans and martial dao
A decisive score of three wins and two losses against the arrogant Emperor Shura was very impressive indeed So lord had looked a bit frayed in the final round But so what?
Young lord Zhen wasn’t even thirty He’d made a na for a thirty-year-old youth to tie with a three-thousand-year great emperor, no matter how that result had come about Anyone else in his situation wouldn’t have been able to take one hit, much less survive four hours
There were plenty of young geniuses in Veluriyam Capital, but none of them could say they could weather a punch from Emperor Shura at the peak of his powers That was too preposterous a state lord Zhen had accomplished the impossible More impressively, he had coendary There were plenty of exa the strong, but doing so with such a large strength differential was absolutely unheard of Young lord Zhen’s achievement was more than stellar
It would be the talk of the town for the next long while Storytellers favored tales that bordered on the fabulous
Even those who didn’t like young lord Zhen were forced to adrow, he would rise to truly great heights Emperor Peafowl had ruled essentially perfectly for the last three reater potential!
Though Emperor Peafoas no slouch in his youth, neither he nor Eh to achieve the independence that Jiang Chen could boast of Not all the vassals would turn and worshi+p the young lord immediately, but his incentive provided at least a start
He firmly believed that once the school was established, the relationshi+p between ruler and vassal would be much ireatly enhanced
It had beenChen’s arrival in the city He’d pondered all this time why Veluriyam Capital was inferior to Pillfire City in pill dao Lack of knowledge and resources was the most important reason, but there was another similarly key one—a deficiency with Eible difference between Pillfire and Veluriyam’s rulers In terms of charisma, Emperor Peafowl could even be hailed the clear victor The serene ruler of Veluriyam Capital adopted compassion in his rule most of the ti with ruthless ambition and imperiousness But the latter’s stance wasa faction
Though Emperor Peafowl cared about his people and ruled wisely, he had certain moral quandaries He and Eard
The at Chen had experienced upon his visit to Pillfire City was that of absolute internal cohesion Moreover, the satellite cities around it respected its absolute sovereignty The system stuck out because of how natural it had been
Pillfire City was rather attractive because of its advancement in pills Most factions couldn’t resist its allure,But Emperor Pillzenith’s personal actions on the city’s behalf also contributed to this The foreoal of Pillfire City has always been to increase its influence
E with Veluriyae heart to accommodate countless more subjects, but not the nature to conquer theely focused on repelling the future de Pillfire constantly hovered at the front of Emperor Pillzenith’s mind That was the fundamental difference between the two
From an objective point of view, Emperor Peafoas the more respectable man Subordinates, however, often preferred a more authoritarian and a Fire’s Bounty Arena were common in Pillfire City Not so for Veluriyam Capital, at which similar events rarely took place
Affairs of that variety were exceptionally attractive to the wider public They created co experts from all over Once the population base was there, the place naturally became a hub of activity
It was precisely this perception that’d led Jiang Chen to institute a pill dao school It was his first decision as the ruler of Veluriya ardless of how much manpower and capital it required, it was a hile invest terly “Your boldness and resolution is re lord Zhen, and not unwelcome You have my unquestioned support! Whether you need men or money, I won’t refuse whatever I can provide”
“It’s a very charitable gesture,” chuckled Emperor Petalpluck “My faction and I cannot shi+rk our duties to it”
