Peerless Dragon Sovereign-Chapter 656: Jiang Meier’s Panic

As the Enslavement Mark coalesced, everyone instantly understood what was happening.

The Martial Artists who refused to submit immediately began to resist fiercely. However, under the oppressive might of Chu Nan and the Dragon Beast, they could hardly move a step and could only watch helplessly as the Enslavement Mark was imprinted into their souls.

"Your life and death are not in your own hands, but in mine."

"Only when I desire your death, do you become eligible to die." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Chu Nan's cold and ruthless voice sent chills down everyone's spine, and then a scene even more terrifying unfolded before their eyes.

As the Enslavement Mark entered their souls, they were horrified to discover that the Martial Artists who initially resisted submission were now kneeling on the ground, displaying an even greater posture of subservience.

Their expressions were so devout, it was as if Chu Nan was their god.

Such a terrifying scene sent shivers through everyone's psyche. Witnessing Chu Nan enslave nearly a hundred people at once left their hearts feeling ice-cold.

Enslavement was far more dreadful than death; with life and death out of their control, this state of forced submission and altered will was far more terrifying than facing death with dignity.

It was as if an invisible shackle had flowed into their souls, causing them immense dread.

"Salute to the Master of the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, we willingly choose to submit, and are ready to brave any danger for you!"

Someone shouted this and immediately spurred everyone else into action.

The Martial Artists of Desolate Ancient City understood that they must show their loyalty now, or risk being marked and losing their autonomy.

If Chu Nan reached the limit of his Enslavement Mark, he might truly start killing.

For a while, the cries of saluting Chu Nan echoed throughout the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, a scene that satisfied Chu Nan greatly.

Once he controlled the Hall Masters of each hall, he could easily conquer the leaderless Desolate Ancient Holy Hall.

Controlling this place meant controlling most of the land in Nanmo Province, thus establishing a strong foundation for Chu Nan within the Celestial Crossing Realm.

"Hall Masters, hear my command: proclaim to all the cities of Nanmo in my name, tell them that from now on, the sky over Nanmo has changed!"

...

Nearly half a month had passed since Chu Nan gained control over Desolate Ancient City.

Through the effective proclamations of the Hall Masters of Desolate Ancient City, everyone knew that the nine Hall Masters of the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall were a thing of the past and that they had a new master.

Refining a heavenly-grade Spirit Martial, suppressing an eightfold peak Dragon Beast, Chu Nan was the true master of the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall!

He stood at the pinnacle of Nanmo Province, becoming the most heated topic of discussion in the region recently.

"Who would have thought the nine Hall Masters of the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall would all perish? Just who is Chu Nan to have killed them?"

"The First Hall Master was a pinnacle ninefold Celestial expert, on the same level as Emperor Qin of the Qin Kingdom, even he was slain by Chu Nan, it's truly unbelievable."

"The scariest thing isn't that, but that Chu Nan refined the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, a heavenly-grade Spirit Martial, which even the former First Hall Master couldn't refine but he did it."

"I've heard from people coming from Nanmo Province that Chu Nan is from Qingxuan Province of the Qin Kingdom, reportedly chased by the Strong Clan Huo Family from the Cyan Demon Mountain Range..."

...

Discussions about Chu Nan never ceased on all sides.

Some chose to submit on the spot, continuing to obey the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, but some City Lords chose betrayal.

In their view, with the nine Hall Masters dead, Chu Nan alone couldn't support the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, it would be better to leave early and join the Slaughter Emperor Sect.

For a while, many cities originally under the control of the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall directly joined the Slaughter Emperor Sect, greatly increasing the sect's power.

Simultaneously, knowing that the nine Hall Masters of the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall were dead made the Slaughter Emperor Sect restless too.

Because upon investigating, they found that besides Chu Nan and the eightfold Dragon Beast, there were hardly any ninefold Cultivators left in the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall.

The Desolate Ancient Holy Hall was at its weakest in history, giving the Slaughter Emperor Sect a chance to completely eliminate it.

Thus, they actively contacted the major cities controlled by the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, working to annex its forces and strengthen the Slaughter Emperor Sect.

For a time, the power of the Slaughter Emperor Sect expanded rapidly, with various sides submitting, creating the trend of unifying Nanmo Province.

"Chu Nan, actually stayed in Nanmo to become the master of the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall?"

"Looks like I can't stay in Nanmo, I must find a way to escape to the Qin Kingdom..."

"But the Ancestor Sect is in the Qin Kingdom, if they find me, I'll have no escape!"

In a small city in Nanmo, Jiang Meier, now under a new identity, collected information from all sides and was shocked to find that Chu Nan didn't leave.

When she saw Chu Nan becoming the master of the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, she immediately fled, planning to hide for a while and reappear after Chu Nan left Nanmo.

However, unexpectedly, Chu Nan took over the leaderless Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, spreading his eyes all over Nanmo.

This made Jiang Meier too afraid to rashly approach Nanmo Province, worried that Chu Nan would be waiting for her along the way.

"The fools of the Slaughter Emperor Sect, trying to annex the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, don't they realize Chu Nan doesn't stand alone, but has the powerful Ancestor Sect behind him!"

"If war breaks out, the Slaughter Emperor Sect has no hope of winning."

"But with Chu Nan in Nanmo and the Ancestor Sect in the Qin Kingdom, where can I escape?"

Jiang Meier, terrified by this thought, found it hard to sleep, deeply worried that Chu Nan would come to kill her. After all, in the heritage space, she had tried to kill Chu Nan more than once.

Had she not fled quickly, she might have ended up like the First Hall Master.

"If this continues, I'm doomed. Although the Slaughter Emperor Sect is foolish, for now, joining them might be my only choice."

"By joining the Slaughter Emperor Sect and becoming one of the Slayers, at least temporarily, I won't have to fear Chu Nan."

Jiang Meier quickly made up her mind and slowly got out of bed, ready to leave this city for the Slaughter Emperor Sect.

But who would have thought, at that moment, the whole roof of Jiang Meier's room was suddenly ripped off.

Jiang Meier looked up to see a gigantic Dragon Beast hovering in the sky above the city, with Chu Nan standing on top of the Dragon Beast, looking down at Jiang Meier, saying: "Jiang Meier, former Third Hall Master of mine, greetings~"

Chu Nan's teasing eyes fixed on Jiang Meier, making her scalp tingle with fear.

"Chu Nan, he found me so quickly!" Jiang Meier was scared out of her wits upon seeing Chu Nan and turned to flee without hesitation.

Chu Nan commanded the Dragon Beast, closely pursuing from behind, taunting: "Jiang Meier, you are the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall's Third Hall Master, why are you running?"

"Do you really intend to betray the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall?"
