Swallowing the Stars: Six Eyes

Chapter 93 Taking Control of Tianyan City

Gu Ce swaggered in with Yao Guangye as they flew into the city. Some Tianyan Guards came out to stop them, but Yao Guangye simply raised her hand and pressed them to the ground.

Yao Guangye, a ninth-level Domain Lord, could easily deal with most of the Heavenly Guards who were only at the Universe level, without even needing to use his domain.

"This is the newly appointed city lord of Tianyan Prefecture! The city lord is here, why aren't you making way!" Yao Guangye shouted loudly.

It made a lot of noise.

The surrounding civilians were quickly drawn to the scene.

"City Lord? Tianyan City hasn't had a city lord for hundreds of years."

"Why isn't the city lord Elder Yan?"

"I heard it's from outside the region; I wonder if they'll raise taxes on it."

"New city lord, then my previous crimes can be wiped clean!"

"Sigh, I hope this city lord won't exploit us."

Some are happy, some are sad.

There is a rule among the prefectural cities: all prisoners imprisoned by the previous city lord are released without charge after the next city lord takes office.

Note that this is where the city lord imprisons people, basically those who have offended him. Those who are imprisoned for violating the laws of the divine kingdom are not included.

Gu Ce ignored the common people and the Tianyan Guards, and led Yao Guangye all the way to the city lord's mansion.

Looking at the dust all over the ground, Gu Ce couldn't help but frown.

"My lord, I'll do it," Yao Guangye quickly said.

With a wave of his hand, the dust was swept away.

Gu Ce then sat down in the main seat with satisfaction, and then turned to look at the people who had been waiting on both sides for a long time.

"What business do you have with me, the city lord?" Gu Ce asked sternly.

Zhuo Liu and Jiang Laosan exchanged a glance, and Jiang Laosan stepped forward.

"Lord of the City, may I ask your name? I need to convey it to the people below so they can admire your esteemed appearance." Old Man Jiang said, bowing with a disgusting smile on his face, his stubble still visible.

"Snapped!"

A loud sound rang out.

Yao Guangye stepped forward and slapped Jiang Laosan hard across the face, leaving a deep red mark.

"Do you think you're worthy to know the name of an adult?" Yao Guangye said, looking down at Jiang Laosan.

Jiang Laosan seemed stunned by the beating, and it took him a while to come to his senses.

How dare someone hit me?

Jiang Laosan looked at Yao Guangye with disbelief, covering his face as he asked, "My lord, who are you?"

"call!"

This time, before Yao Guangye's hand could even land, it was blocked by Jiang Laosan, who was already on guard.

"Sir, aren't you going too far?" Jiang Laosan's face gradually turned cold, his eyes filled with resentment.

Zhuo Liu took a step back without making a sound.

It seems this new city lord is not to be trifled with.

"Alright, stop pretending." Gu Ce tapped the armrest lightly with his finger.

"You two want to compete for the position of city lord, right? It's simple. As long as you can defeat me, your guard, I will give you the position of city lord," Gu Ce said softly.

"Is this really true?" Jiang Laosan and Zhuo Liu's eyes lit up.

"Of course, I swear on the honor of the Yaoguang family," Gu Ce said with a smile.

"good!"

Jiang Laosan struck first, throwing a hook punch at Yao Guangye's face, seemingly seeking revenge for the slap he had just received.

Yao Guangye remained calm and easily dodged Jiang Laosan's attack. He then kicked Jiang Laosan in the groin and subdued him in no time.

Seeing this, Gu Ce shook his head slightly.

Although neither of them dared to unleash their full power in the city, nor to use their domains and laws of perception, it was still clear that there was a huge gap in their strength. Yao Guangye's combat experience and combat techniques completely overwhelmed Jiang Laosan.

Even if both of them give it their all, the result will most likely be the same.

"Go fight outside!" Old Man Jiang shouted resentfully.

"Okay." Yao Guangye agreed, picked up Jiang Laosan, and ran to an open space outside Tianyan Prefecture.

"Sit down, it won't be long." Gu Ce gestured for Zhuo Liu to sit down.

Zhuo Liu hesitated, wondering whether or not she should make a move.

Jiang Laosan is at the peak of the Domain Lord level and is the strongest person in Tianyan City. Even he can't beat the new city lord's guard, so he will only be in a worse situation.

but……

"Feed." Gu Ce called out softly, and Zhuo Liu's body trembled. She couldn't help but look at Gu Ce.

A mirage has descended!

The vast ocean directly overwhelmed Zhuo Liu's sea of ​​consciousness, instantly suppressing her mind and awareness.

"Lord...Lord of the City! I was wrong!"

A moment later, Zhuo Liu broke free from the illusion and looked at Gu Ce, who was still fiddling with the tea set. Her legs went weak and she knelt on the ground.

"Sir, it's resolved."

On the other side, Yao Guangye also threw the half-dead Jiang Laosan on the ground, clearly having finished dealing with the situation.

"Not bad," Gu Ce praised.

They acted quickly and deserve praise.

Yao Guangye scratched his head sheepishly.

"Alright, who's still missing now?" Gu Ce asked casually.

"According to the information from our family, the Yan family, the Zhuo family, and the Jiang family are the top three noble families in Tianyan City. The only one missing is the head of the Yan family," Yao Guangye said.

"The Yan family? Go and bring them here," Gu Ce ordered.

"No need, Lord City Lord, I've come myself." An old man with his arm around his waist walked in from outside the City Lord's mansion.

"Um?"

Gu Ce frowned, and Yao Guangye instantly understood.

"Bang!"

"Who gave you permission to enter the City Lord's Mansion on your own initiative? Are you trying to rebel?" Yao Guangye kicked Elder Yan away and questioned him sharply.

Caught off guard, Old Yan was sent flying quite a distance before regaining control of his body in mid-air.

"Lord City Lord, cough, what do you mean by this?" Old Yan struggled to speak. "I have never considered rebellion."

"Really? Then come here and eat this." Gu Ce took out a Silent Poison Fruit.

He needs to take control of the entire Tianyan Prefecture in the shortest possible time before he can challenge the city lord of Dulan City.

"This is..." Old Yan asked, puzzled.

"Just eat what I tell you to eat! Stop with the nonsense!"

Yao Guangye prepared to rush up and teach Yan Lao a lesson. Having already eaten the Silent Fruit, he now wanted to make more victims.

"Don't be like that. Be kind to the old man. He doesn't have much time left anyway," Gu Ce said kindly, pulling Yao Guangye back.

"Lord City Lord, you don't have to do this," Old Yan said with a wry smile, having finally understood the situation.

"So, tell me, are you going to eat or not?" Gu Ce didn't answer him, but asked again.

"I'll eat it!" Old Yan said through gritted teeth.

"Very good." Gu Ce was satisfied.

The heads of the three major families in Tianyan Prefecture were crippled, controlled with poison, and even Zhuo Liu was made to suffer a fate worse than death by Shenhai, and completely submitted.

Next, we just need to wait for the Star-Eating Grass to recover, which shouldn't take too long.
