Therefore, after a thorough assessment, they made the decision on the square earlier. Who wouldn't want the position of the Cloud State Governor? But even if they got it, they wouldn't be able to hold it for more than a hundred years, and in exchange, it could mean the destruction of their entire power. Such a thing, they are all seasoned figures, who would be willing to do it?
"All we can do now is pray that this Qin Chen keeps his word and doesn't renege on what he promised before. Otherwise, we can only accept our fate," sighed the old ancestor Tian Xu.
"However, although Qin Chen might quickly destroy the Yun family, it's impossible to control the entire Cloud State City formation in a short time. Before that, he still needs us to control the whole city. Not to mention, the current Dust Pavilion's power is still very small, and he needs to rely on us to manage the entire Cloud State. Otherwise, he wouldn't have given us such conditions back then," said Tian He Laoguai confidently.
As long as they still have some use in Qin Chen's eyes, their Tian He Sect will not be abandoned. Moreover, their Tian He Sect is not to be trifled with. Back when Yun Dongguang controlled Cloud State, he couldn't do anything to them. Even if Qin Chen takes over, it will be the same.
Thinking of this, they immediately gave orders to their subordinates, instructing the various forces to control all parts of Cloud State, especially the Cloud State City, to ensure there is no chaos.
In fact, as Tian He Laoguai and the others predicted, within just a few hours after the news of Yun Dongguang's demise spread through the city, the entire Cloud State began to fall into chaos.
The various middle-level forces were like a gunpowder barrel ignited, exploding instantly, and riots began to appear in the cities of Cloud State, resulting in chaos.
Even within Cloud State City, chaos started.
However, just as these disturbances were beginning, the experts of the top forces in Cloud State, such as Tian He Sect, Tian Long Temple, and Tian Xu Family, had already received orders and took action to quell all riots at their inception.
At this time, Qin Chen had already entered the depths of the Cloud State Governor's mansion, arriving at the core area of the city, which is also the hub for controlling the city.
A rich ancient Saint Qi filled his entire body.
What appeared before Qin Chen was a vast restricted area ball, the core of the city's formation. Only by controlling this place can one truly hold Cloud State City in their hands.
"Indeed, it's here. This is the formation core. It's truly vast? If I'm not mistaken, this should be a peak initial stage Tian-grade formation. Once fully activated, even several peak initial stage Tian-grade experts wouldn't be able to break in," Qin Chen observed the numerous surging runes, his eyes flickering as he continued to gaze into the depths of the formation core, where a massive ancient Saint Vein lay deep beneath the city, hidden beneath the soil.
This ancient Saint Vein, like a primordial dragon, lay dormant underground, its entire body shimmering with radiance, showing immense power, as if with a single breath, Cloud State City would explode, and it would soar into the sky.
Various restrictive spells were inscribed on the body of this ancient Saint Vein, with countless wills of ancient experts suppressing it, providing the city's formation and the entire city with immense power.
"This should be the most powerful ancient Saint Vein in Cloud State, a Tian-grade ancient Saint Vein. This single ancient Saint Vein was likely laid down by an ancient expert when building Cloud State City. Yun Dongguang was able to control the city formation because he controlled this ancient Saint Vein. If I want to control the entire Cloud State, I must first control this ancient Saint Vein," Qin Chen took a deep breath. At this moment, he realized the terrifying nature of the Cloud State formation's restrictions. Fortunately, Master Mu Gutian blocked the attack from the Purgatory Formation for him. Otherwise, if Yun Dongguang fought for his life with the support of this Tian-grade ancient Saint Vein, the outcome would have been uncertain.
