Martial Arts: I Have a Wilderness World

Chapter 515: Chapter 277: Deploying the Formation; Unification

"Everyone, it’s been a while. I have learned from my cousins what transpired after I left on business. I will deal with those old grudges later. For now, let me tell you what I plan to do."

The crowd held its breath, every eye fixed on Cheng Zongyang, desperate to hear the news they had all been waiting for.

"Just as my cousin said, a few months ago I went to sea in search of Cultivation Immortality. And, as you can all see, I found it."

The moment his words fell, providing the confirmation they sought, the breathing of everyone in the room grew heavy.

The patriarchs of the three city districts felt the exact same way Li Mingxin and the others had when they’d first seen Cheng Zongyang outside the city walls. Behind Qiu Fengxing, Qiu Wan’Er stared intently at Cheng Zongyang, her eyes gleaming.

"Quiet!" Li Cungang barked, seeing that the others looked ready to speak.

Instantly, everyone fell silent again.

Cheng Zongyang didn’t intervene. He hadn’t finished speaking and didn’t want to be interrupted, so he continued.

"I found it—a place called the Ice and Fire Cultivation Immortality Realm. It has mortals, Martial Artists, and Cultivators. These Cultivators can soar through the heavens and traverse the earth, which is the path for us Martial Artists after Breaking Innate. And, as you’ve guessed, I paid a heavy price to bring a few things back.

Therefore, effective immediately, I have an announcement to make. Jade Peak County will be ruled by my Cheng Family. It will no longer belong to the old Da Liang, nor to the Royal Li Family. Jade Peak County will be renamed Jade Peak Immortal City!"

Hearing this, Li Mingxin did not react with the vehement opposition one might expect. He simply listened in silence. ’Other ideas were already forming in his mind.’

The other three families’ expressions changed upon hearing this, but none of them dared to make a sound.

’They couldn’t defeat him before, and now... it was utterly unthinkable.’

Ding Wu, however, was secretly pondering something as he continued to listen to Cheng Zongyang.

"I have already sealed off Jade Peak County with an Array. Without my permission, no one can leave, and no outsiders can enter. In the future, I will transform this County Town into the one and only place in the entire Martial Arts Realm where one can break through the Innate realm and become Extraordinary!"

"Mr. Cheng, the Ding Family is willing to submit and become a family under the Cheng Family’s rule! We will also cede South City to the jurisdiction of the Celestial Break Gang, and the Ding Family will revert to being an ordinary Martial Arts Family. I hope the Boss will grant this!"

The moment Cheng Zongyang finished speaking, Ding Wu, ignoring everyone else, immediately rose to state his position, even dropping to one knee!

This scene caused the expressions of Xu Tieshan and Qiu Fengxing to become extremely complicated.

’They hadn’t even had a chance to process everything, yet Ding Wu had been so decisive! But they had to admit, his choice was the very same idea that had just occurred to them.’

’Compared to Cultivators, Martial Arts were nothing at all!’

"Heh, Patriarch Ding, no need to be hasty," Cheng Zongyang said with a chuckle. "Let me finish."

"Yes!" Ding Wu replied, lowering his own status to the absolute minimum, completely unconcerned with so-called "face."

"I have already built a Teleportation Array. In the future, Jade Peak Immortal City will focus on cultivating the Martial Artists and Cultivators here. For a corresponding price, I can send them to the Cultivation Immortality Realm, and I will inform them of the situation there..."

Cheng Zongyang then slowly went on, giving a preliminary announcement of his plans for forging Jade Peak Immortal City.

The specific implementation would be carried out later by the Celestial Break Gang and the Cheng Family.

But before that could happen, all other factions would cease to exist. There would be only two left—the Cheng Family and the Celestial Break Gang!

The other groups could only continue to exist as simple "families," not as powerful family factions!
