(Fourth update!)

Hum!
Jian Wushuang returned to his original spot with a simple stagger of his body. He withdrew his divine breath and the surrounding Heaven and Earth gradually calmed down.
"Thank you for letting me win, Master Inspector." Jian Wushuang smiled.
However, the face of the Patrol Inspector, which was the purple-robed man, was alternating between green and white!!
He lost!
He was a High-level Earth Ultimate God and originally wanted to teach Jian Wushuang a lesson. However, he was defeated by Jian Wushuang in just a blink of an eye.
He was defeated too quickly and too miserably.
If Jian Wushuang had not held back at the last moment, he would not have been able to withstand the swordsmanship that pierced through everything in the world. Whether he could survive or not would have been a different matter.
"This kid …" The purple-robed man stared at Jian Wushuang with a gloomy expression.
Behind him, the two Primary-level Earth Ultimate Gods who came with the purple-robed man looked at each other in shock.
They were extremely surprised when they heard the news that Jian Wushuang had killed San Shouwang as a Peak Ultimate God.
That was because there was a huge gap between a Peak Ultimate God and an Earth Ultimate God. It was extremely rare for a Peak Ultimate God to be able to kill a Primary-level Earth Ultimate God. Such a genius would not be interested in a mere Stellar Territorial Lord. Therefore, they were skeptical about the news at first.
However, they saw it with their own eyes at that moment.
Moreover, Jian Wushuang did not defeat a Primary-level Earth Ultimate God but the Inspector — a genuine High-level Earth Ultimate God!
"Lord Patrol Envoy, I wonder if my strength has been acknowledged by you? If not, we can fight again, "Jian Wushuang said with a smile.
The purple-robed man's face twitched slightly.
'Fight again?'
It was true that he had underestimated his opponent and was too careless in the previous battle. However, he was still shocked by Jian Wushuang's combat power. He was certain that Jian Wushuang's strength was indeed much stronger than his.
'Fight again? That would be asking for trouble. '
As for your recognition …
Although the purple-robed man was extremely reluctant, he could only take out an Interspatial Ring. "This is your appointment letter and your Territorial Lord Token. From today onwards, you are the new Territorial Lord of Northern Darkstar Territory."
The purple-robed man tossed the talisman to Jian Wushuang, then glanced at the two people behind him. "Let's go!"
"Lord Patrol Envoy, take care. I won't be seeing you off." Jian Wushuang smiled as he watched the purple-robed man and the other two leave.
After the three of them left, the smile on his face slowly disappeared. He then looked at the Qian Kun Ring in his hand.
With a sweep of his consciousness, he found that there was indeed a letter of appointment and a token inside.
Neither the letter of appointment nor the token had a name on it. Jian Wushuang had to add it himself.
"Young master!"
Xiao Tiexin and Cang Heng, who had been standing at the side, came forward.
"Congratulations, Young Master, for becoming the true Northern Darkstar Territorial Lord," Xiao Tiexin said joyfully.
"Greetings, Territorial Lord." Cang Heng directly bowed and saluted.
"I did get the position of Territorial Lord, but I've offended the Patrol Envoy." Jian Wushuang sneered.
"Hmph, he asked for it. He thought he could get anything from you just because he's a Patrol Envoy and has the strength of a High-level Earth Ultimate God. What a fool," said Xiao Tiexin.
Jian Wushuang had previously killed San Shouwang who was also a High-level Earth Ultimate God.
San Shouwang's strength was very impressive and was at least much stronger than the Patrol Envoy.
Even San Shouwang was absolutely crushed by Jian Wushuang. The Patrol Envoy was certainly not a match for Jian Wushuang.
"I'm to blame for this. If I had made it clear to Crimson Stone Fort that you killed San Shouwang who was a High-level Earth Ultimate God, the Patrol Envoy would not have blatantly forced you to accept the position," said Cang Heng.
"No, you did the right thing. I'm only a Peak Ultimate God after all. If the news of me killing a High-level Earth Ultimate God were to spread, it would inevitably cause a storm. It's good that things are like this now. Besides, I've finally gotten the position of Territorial Lord." Jian Wushuang smiled.
"However, Territorial Lord, although the Patrol Envoy had no choice but to recognize you as the Northern Darkstar Territorial Lord due to the rules, I'm sure he'll find ways to make things difficult for you when he returns," said Cang Heng.
"I've already gotten the position of Territorial Lord. How can he make things difficult for me?" Jian Wushuang asked.
"You may not know this, Master, but the Patrol Envoy is a very special position in Crimson Stone Fort. There's a lot to be gained from this position. You can say that it's a lucrative job."
"It's impossible to get such a lucrative job in Crimson Stone Fort if one doesn't have a certain background. That inspector just asked for two million Primordial Stones in such a blatant manner. He must have something to rely on and must have a strong background."
"He can make use of his background to make things difficult for you when he returns to Crimson Stone Fort. Apart from other things, just increasing the monthly payment by ten to twenty percent every thousand years is enough to make you very uncomfortable," said Cang Heng solemnly.
"Monthly payment?" Jian Wushuang's expression changed.
He knew about the monthly payment.
There were many wildernesses, large and small sects, and innumerable forces in a star territory. These forces, sects, and clans would pay a certain amount of Primordial Stones every thousand years to the Territorial Lord of that star territory. That was the monthly payment that had to be paid every thousand years.
However, the Territorial Lord of that star territory had to pay the monthly payment to the ruler of that territory.
Taking Northern Darkstar Territory as an example, the various forces and clans had to pay the monthly payment to the Territorial Lord every thousand years. However, the Territorial Lord could only keep a portion of the payment as the rest had to be handed over to Crimson Stone Fort.
"What percentage of the monthly payment that Northern Darkstar Territory paid to Crimson Stone Fort every thousand years when San Shouwang was the Territorial Lord?" asked Jian Wushuang.
"Seventy percent. According to the rules set by Crimson Stone Fort, each Territorial Lord only has to pay seventy percent of the monthly payment every thousand years. However, if the Patrol Envoy deliberately makes things difficult for you when he returns, he can think of ways to increase the monthly payment to eighty or even ninety percent!" replied Cang Heng.
"Eighty or ninety percent?" Jian Wushuang's expression changed and said in a deep voice, "Since it's a rule set by Crimson Stone Fort, the Patrol Envoy can't simply violate the rule even if he has a powerful background, right?"
"No, it's not as simple as you think." Cang Heng shook his head. "If it was the Crimson Stone Fort at its peak, no one in the Danyang Holy Domain would dare to violate its rules. Even the higher-ups in the Crimson Stone Fort had many restrictions and dared not act rashly."
