A middle-aged man sat at the highest seat. He had a square face and looked extremely dignified.
He was able to sit here not because his faction was above the holy lands and aristocratic families.
It was because he was the City Lord of the Eastern Capital, Chen Daoming!
It was a Saint who had been cultivating for a long time. His peak aura seemed to be one step away from becoming a Saint Ruler.
However, compared to the various Holy Lands and ancient families, this strength was still insufficient.
The reason why they were able to be at the top of the various factions was because it was related to the system that the various major factions had reached.
The Eastern Capital was very big, the center of the Eastern Barren Territory. Naturally, it was the most prosperous place. Countless resources and money flowed in and out of the city. The amount was so great that it made people dumbfounded.
No matter who it was, they would not easily hand this city over to any force to manage.
For this reason, the Eastern Capital Elder Council was established. The seats in it were filled with all the first-rate forces. Together, they controlled the right to speak in the Eastern Capital. Each of them divided their regions and divided up almost the entire Eastern Capital. Only a few were left for the other forces.
The City Lord was only responsible for the security and defense of the Eastern Capital. He also restrained the actions of the various large factions.
As for the Elders Guild, they would decide the distribution of resources together. The two sides would cooperate with each other.
However, the Elders Guild had many factions and there were many conflicts between them.
Therefore, the City Lord was chosen to be a neutral person. Most of them were saints or kings among itinerant cultivators.
However, there was no doubt that those who could deal with the people of the various large factions and supervise them were all peak experts of this realm.
In terms of Douzhan's power, Chen Ming, who was at the peak of the Saint Realm, was among the best in the same realm. In other words, he was one of the strongest in the East Barren Territory.
However, today, it was not enough because the people who came were the most powerful people among the various large factions.
Chen Daoming looked helpless as he muttered in his heart,"
"Ian, Ian, why are you here for no reason? "If I don't do well today, my City Lord Manor will be razed to the ground!”
In the past Dragon Sect Meet, he had always been the one to say the word and everyone would obey him. He had managed to reconcile the conflicts between the major forces and made them choose their disciples according to the rules without any changes.
He didn't even need to show up. He just needed to release his aura, and the entire Dragon Sect Meet would proceed according to the rules.
Although the Dragon Sect Meet sounded grand, it was just a way for the major forces to select their disciples. Although there were many participants, they were all young and talented disciples.
Experts would not care about such low-level cultivators at all.
In the past, the Dao Protectors of the various large factions who came to participate were usually only elders of the Dragon Transformation Mystic Realm. At most, they were only half-step Almighty experts.
However, today, because the news that Ian had come to participate in the Dragon Sect Meeting as a Dao Protector had spread, all the forces in the East Barren Territory had taken action.
All the old fogeys came out of the mountains one after another, bringing along their powerful auras to make up for this Dragon Sect Meeting that was dispensable to them!
The kings who were rarely seen and the saints who only existed in legends were now sitting in the City Lord's Mansion!
Ian was the only one who had caused this scene!
Therefore, Chen Daoming was full of resentment and helplessness!!!
It was very simple. When Ian rose to power, it was at the beginning of the era of prodigies. At that time, it was inevitable that he would fight with the world's Holy Sons and Princes for opportunities.
On Ian's rise, he had even killed many prodigies and formed conflicts with many factions. Now, those who were worried that Ian would suppress their factions could only send experts of the corresponding level.
As for the rest, even if they did not have any conflicts with Ian, they were still worried about the same thing. They were afraid that Ian would be too powerful and directly recruit this year's prodigies. They had no choice but to send someone of the same level.
To put it bluntly, Ian's every move was enough to affect the direction of the entire cultivation world. Countless factions had no choice but to treat him seriously and deal with everything related to Ian.
After reaching the realm of an utmost powerful being, any one of them with a biased goal was enough to implicate countless forces.
Ian, in particular, was closely watched by the various factions.
Because he was known as the Slayer Saint!
Any Saint, even a peak Saint like Chen Daoming, would not dare to face Su Ye one-on-one without holding an Emperor-to-be weapon or even a Martial Monarch Realm weapon.
This was because the Saints Ian had killed were no longer as simple as one or two…
