The Cheng family would temporarily serve as the ruler of the Flying Swallow Archipelago and hold the formation tokens controlling entry to Moon-Inviting Island!
The moment these words were spoken, a buzzing wave of discussion erupted throughout the grand hall. Amid the clamor, all the voices boiled down to a single question: Why them?
The Cheng family had indeed done much for the Devil Lord, but the other families had also contributed greatly. Could they claim the position simply because they stood closer to him? The ruler of a region required true strength. Internally, they had to keep control over the various factions; externally, they had to resist powerful enemies. Without such strength, the title would become nothing more than a joke.
Some of the older and more cautious figures revealed nothing and spoke not a single word. Instead, they quietly studied Luo Chen's expression. He remained silent and allowed the crowd below to argue freely, as if he had no interest in the matter at all. But did he truly not care? Did he really believe his words were iron laws that everyone would obey even after he left?
As they pondered the deeper meaning behind Luo Chen's words, some gradually began to understand. The key lay in the final line of the first decree—until the first native Adept appears.
The Devil Lord had not ordered that the Cheng family rule the archipelago forever. They would merely act as caretakers.
