Dongfang Chengye's ascension ceremony was held as scheduled.
All the heroes of the Damo Kingdom, large and small forces of various races, did not dare to miss it.
At this time, in a corner of the palace square, the City Lord of the City of Light, Ben Vader, looked curiously at a group of people dressed as mercenaries.
"Where's your President?"
Sha Wenbin knew Ben Vader. Although he was not a big shot in the guild, he was still a middle-level Hall Master.
He had been to the City of Light before and was fortunate enough to meet the high and mighty City Lord Ben Vader.
Sha Wenbin cupped his fists with a respectful expression. He was about to greet Ben Vader as a subordinate, but he immediately crossed his hands and greeted Ben Vader as someone of the same generation.
"I'm Sha Wenbin, the new President. I hope City Lord Ben Vader will take care of me in the future."
Ben Vader was startled and blurted out, "When did you take office? Where's Lu Zhe?"
"This … President Lu Zhe and Vice President Su Yingjie were attacked by magical beasts on their way to the higher-level guild and unfortunately died."
Sha Wenbin said with a sorrowful expression.
Thump!
Ben Vader's eyes widened. "What?
Attacked by magical beasts … "
Just as he said this, his heart skipped a beat as if he had thought of something. His face suddenly turned pale and he immediately shut his mouth.
What magical beast attack? They were probably attacked by Dark Knights or Giant Dragons.
Otherwise, in the Damo Kingdom, which magical beasts of seventh level and above would dare to casually enter human territory and hurt people?
Moreover, Lu Zhe and Su Yingjie were both One Star War Venerables. Even if they were no match for them, they could still escape.
He took out a white handkerchief with trembling hands and wiped the sweat off his forehead.
At the same time, he was secretly glad that he did not make this decision. Otherwise, he would also end up as a corpse in the wilderness.
Even now, his heart was still uneasy.
He knew that Zhang Xing had not found him yet.
Lowering his head and admitting his guilt was not enough. If he did not find a few scapegoats to bear the responsibility, he would not be able to answer to Zhang Xing.
Zhang Xing would even be the first to target him.
Sigh!
No matter what, he had to wait and see. Maybe he could escape this calamity.
Today was the day of the new Emperor's ascension. According to tradition, the new Emperor would issue an imperial edict to pardon the world.
It was because of this that he dared to come to the Imperial Capital in an attempt to bluff his way through.
However, he was wrong. Zhang Xing was not someone who acted according to common sense.
The enthronement ceremony proceeded smoothly. There were no tedious ceremonies. What should be simplified was simplified and what should be omitted was omitted.
In less than six hours, it was coming to an end.
Just as Ben Vader thought that everything was going well, a faint voice sounded.
"Is Ben Vader from the City of Light here yet?"
Plop!
Upon hearing Zhang Xing's voice, Ben Vader was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground.
He walked out trembling with fear. "Ben Wade greets Sect Master Zhang!"
Zhang Xing ignored him and asked, "Is Harriman Smith here yet?"
Hiding behind the crowd, Harriman Smith's expression changed. With a buzzing sound in his head, he almost knelt down on the spot.
Whoosh!
The crowd parted to let him pass.
With great difficulty, Harriman Smith walked to the back of the castellan step by step.
He was sweating profusely, but he did not dare to wipe it off. He said respectfully and tremblingly, "Ha … Harriman greets Sect Master Zhang!"
Then, Zhang Xing read out a long list of names.
Those people were so frightened that they did not know what to do. They automatically stood in a row according to their rank.
Zhang Xing did not waste time. He waved his hand and said, "Drag them out and behead them!"
Plop!
As soon as his voice fell, the square was full of people. They kept kowtowing and begging.
Zhang Xing ignored their howls and watched coldly as the soldiers dragged them away like dead dogs.
A few minutes later, several screams came from a corner of the square …
