(Second Update!)

Although there were not many Primordial Stones in the Interspatial Ring left behind by San Shouwang, the Divine Destructive Beast alone was very valuable. In addition, there were a lot of cultivation resources in the Interspatial Ring including various elixirs, divine weapons, Heaven and Earth Treasures, and various secret techniques.
Those things were also very valuable.
Moreover, San Shouwang also had a Heavenly Treasure level divine weapon!
It was a pair of boxing gloves — the divine weapon that San Shouwang had always used.
Heavenly Treasures were extremely important to Earth Ultimate Gods. Although San Shouwang's boxing gloves were only ordinary offensive divine weapons, its value was estimated to be around one million Primordial Stones.
All in all, San Shouwang's Interspatial Ring did not disappoint Jian Wushuang.
Jian Wushuang stayed in the Territorial Lord Mansion for the next few days.
The Official Army had already informed Crimson Stone Fort about San Shouwang's death. Crimson Stone Fort should be sending an inspector soon.
On the other hand, the news of San Shouwang's death and the appointment of a new Territorial Lord instantly swept across the entire Northern Darkstar Territory like a storm.
There were many wildernesses in the Northern Darkstar Territory with many sects of various sizes in each wildernesses. After receiving the news, those sects immediately began to prepare congratulatory gifts after being shocked for a short while.
The appointment of a new Territorial Lord had not been seen for tens of thousands of years so those forces naturally dared not neglect the new Territorial Lord.
Three months passed in the blink of an eye.
Three figures appeared in the void in front of the Territorial Lord Mansion with a purple-robed man in a luxurious long robe taking the lead.
The purple-robed man had a devilishly charming face with a hint of arrogance between his brows as he looked down at the Territorial Lord Mansion below.
"Master, Sword One is in the Territorial Lord Mansion. Let's go down and meet him," said a black-armored old man next to him.
"No need." The purple-robed man waved his hand. He stood there, but an enormous divine power suddenly erupted from his body and pressed down on the Domain Chief's Manor below.
In the Domain Master's Mansion, Jian Wushuang, who was meditating quietly, could not help but frown and open his eyes.
"A High-level Earth Ultimate God's divine power? He should be an inspector sent by the Crimson Stone Fort. However, this inspector used his divine aura to oppress me as soon as he arrived. Is he trying to intimidate me? "Jian Wushuang murmured. Then, his figure blurred and appeared in the void above.
As soon as he arrived, Jian Wushuang saw the purple-robed man exuding divine might.
"May I ask if you are the Patrol Inspector?" Jian Wushuang's expression was rather humble.
After all, Jian Wushuang had to show some respect to the Patrol sent by the Crimson Stone Fort.
"That's me. Are you Sword One?" The purple-robed man stared coldly at Jian Wushuang. "I heard you're only a Peak Ultimate God?"
"Yes." Jian Wushuang nodded slightly.
"Hmph, the previous Territorial Lord of Northern Darkstar Territory was called San Shouwang, right? He's really a good-for-nothing. How embarrassing for an Earth Ultimate God to die in the hands of a Peak Ultimate God. "The purple-robed man had a hint of contempt in his eyes.
Jian Wushuang smiled faintly and was not annoyed. Instead, he said humbly, "Sir Patrol Inspector, let's talk inside the mansion."
The purple-robed man nodded slightly and immediately entered the Territorial Lord Mansion under Jian Wushuang's lead.
Jian Wushuang did not sit on the highest seat in the magnificent palace. Instead, he sat opposite the purple-robed man.
The two people who came with the purple-robed man also sat next to them. The maids in the Territorial Lord Mansion served tea while Xiao Tiexin stood obediently beside Jian Wushuang.
"Sword One, I won't beat around the bush with you. I'm here on Crimson Stone Fort's order to select a suitable candidate to take over as the Territorial Lord of Northern Darkstar Territory. You were originally recommended by the Northern Darkstar Official Army, but you're only a Peak Ultimate God after all." The purple-robed man looked indifferent.
"The Danyang Holy Domain has 381 Territorial Lords in its 381 Star Territories. All of these Territorial Lords are experts above the Earth Ultimate God realm. Only when an Earth Ultimate God personally oversees a Star Territory will the Star Territory be safe.
"A Peak Ultimate God becoming a Territorial Lord … This has never happened in the Danyang Holy Domain. If you really become the Territorial Lord, I'm afraid it'll be difficult to convince the public. It won't take long for the Northern Darkstar Territory to fall into chaos."
Jian Wushuang frowned slightly.
He knew the Crimson Stone Fort sent the Inspector to verify if he had the strength to become the Territorial Lord.
However, the Inspector in front of him did not say anything about verifying Jian Wushuang's strength even though he had said so much. The Inspector was purely certain that Jian Wushuang was not qualified to become the Territorial Lord. It was obvious that the Inspector was deliberately making things difficult for Jian Wushuang.
"Sir Inspector, one's cultivation realm doesn't represent everything, right?" Jian Wushuang could not help but ask.
"One's cultivation realm doesn't represent everything. You must have the combat strength of an ordinary Earth Ultimate God since you were able to kill San Shouwang. However, when a Peak Ultimate God and a genuine Earth Ultimate God stand together, the deterrence effect will be completely different even if both of them have the same combat strength. The Territorial Lord of a Star Territory needs that kind of deterrence.
"Therefore, it's a little too difficult for you to take over as the Territorial Lord with your current cultivation realm. Of course, it's not that there's no other way, but you'll have to pay a little price," said the purple-robed man slowly with his eyes narrowed.
Jian Wushuang raised his eyebrows.
He fully understood the Inspector's intention after hearing that.
The purple-robed man was indeed deliberately making things difficult for Jian Wushuang with the intention of obtaining some benefits from Jian Wushuang.
"How much do I have to pay?" Jian Wushuang asked calmly.
"Not much, just three million Primordial Stones. I can take care of everything once I get back. As long as there aren't any major disturbances or unforeseen events in the Northern Darkstar Territory, I can guarantee you can be a local tyrant without any worries in the future." The purple-robed man revealed an evil smile.
"Three million Primordial Stones?" Jian Wushuang's expression remained unchanged, but he was sneering in his heart.
Three million Primordial Stones was a huge price. The Inspector was not just asking for an exorbitant price but was purely asking for an exorbitant price.
The Inspector probably thought Jian Wushuang had just killed San Shouwang and must have obtained the wealth from the Grand Competition. That was why the Inspector asked for such an exorbitant price to extort Jian Wushuang.
If it were someone else, they would have given up the three million Primordial Stones due to the Inspector's pressure and the many benefits that would come with becoming a Territorial Lord. However, Jian Wushuang was different.
