Chaotic Sword God

hope that the honored Imperial Protector will point to us the path of life.” One of the individuals spoke. To bow and scrape their knees for a youth in his twenties was rather embarrassing, but when under a roof, one couldnt help but bow their head.

“Then, I will tell you my plan. I hope that everyone will find it fitting.” With that, Jian Chen took out a map from his Space Ring and gave it to the seven. “Now, I will split up the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom into seven regions for you seven to control. Each person will be responsible for their own region, and from here on out, there will be no such thing as the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom. There will only be the regions that you seven will have jurisdiction over.

Hearing this, the seven of them had looks of disbelief on their faces. Some were pleasantly surprised, some were confused, and some were doubtful. They all knew in their hearts that the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom covered a vast amount of territory. If it were to truly be split up into seven regions for them to control, then they would each find their own power and influence increased several times over. This to them, was an incredibly huge surprise.

Although they all belonged to clans or sects that could be considered to be the strongest of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom, the amount of territory they controlled wasnt exactly large. The fact that the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom had fifteen Heaven Saint Masters and because of the kingdoms meticulous planning, each family only had enough influence to cover about the size of a mountain, and it was incredibly hard to increase that influence. With Jian Chens actions, it was as if he had delivered a free meat pie for them to eat and increase their power.

However, the seven individuals were old and experienced. They knew that Jian Chen wouldnt so freely send them such a delicious treat. In an instant, they guessed Jian Chens plan.

“Honored Imperial Protector, do you mean for us to swear our allegiances to you?” One of them asked.

Jian Chen laughed, “You are half-right. Correct, with such a great benefit, how could I just give this away to you for free, especially when you first tried to be enemies to the Qinhuang Kingdom?”

Jian Chens later half of his speech caused the seven to blanch once more, but before they could say anything, Jian Chen continued, “Ill not mention what happened in the past for now. Ill say what I plan on doing. My request is rather simple. I wish for you seven to handle the work for the Qinhuang Kingdom and swear loyalty to the Qinhuang Kingdom to become external members of it. Would you agree to this request?”

Although Jian Chen wanted them to swear loyalty to himself, his current strength wasnt enough to make the Sect of Dragon and Tiger cower in fear. By tying these seven to the Qinhuang Kingdom, the Sect of Dragon and Tiger wouldnt act so rashly in case their plans backfired on them. Otherwise, he would be afraid of walking by himself and having the person behind the Sect of Dragon and Tiger interfere with the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom matter.

Plus, these seven swearing loyalty to the Qinhuang Kingdom or to Jian Chen wasnt too different. After all, his status as an Imperial Protector wasnt just for show. It was only that for the Sect of Dragon and Tiger, the might of the Qinhuang Kingdom was far more prominent than an Imperial Protector at the strength of a Heaven Saint Master.

“Fine, I agree. From today henceforth, my Returning Cloud Sect will swear loyalty to the Qinhuang Kingdom and handle its affairs.”

“My Bucashana Clan agrees to swear loyalty to the Qinhuang Kingdom.”

“The Hilo Clan agrees to swear loyalty to the Qinhuang Kingdom.”

……

This time, none of the seven members hesitated to respond. With a crisp response, their faces couldnt hide their excitement. Although they knew that Jian Chen wished to use this method to control the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom, it wasnt too important to them. The more important thing was that they had a robust pillar of support behind them. Furthermore, being connected to the Qinhuang Kingdom was something that many kingdoms wouldnt be able to get even if they tried.
