Eric precisely spread his qi to the borders of this empire so he doesn't get any other empires involved in his fan. After releasing his qi he sent a message to every cultivator in the empire.
"Hello everybody, today I have come to this empire for a short moment, but in this shirt moment I want the following people to be Huegh City, if they aren't here in 30 minutes you might as well say good bye to their life and everything they have".
After saying that he continued with the name of people he wanted to be here,
"I need the following people to be in Huegh City, Mij Sect, Dsug sect, Feiw Sect, Eiu Sect, Uwey Sect and every noble in this empire".
Eric slowly looked up to see every person on the ground kneeling down, he soon realised that there was normal people in this empire too so he had to call back his qi to not hurting them in any way possible.
Eric was still standing in the sky on top of everybody else, but as he was waiting for the he started to get bored so, he decided to go around the city.
He vanished from where he was standing and reappeared on top of a Equipment, where they sold sword and stuff.
He decided that today was his day to pick an equipment but then he realised that he had the system sop, and he could by a better sword from there. He walked out of the store and just tried to look around, he looked everywhere and couldn't find even one thing that he would like to do.
He walked out of the store to see everybody were back to their normal self and started to work on their job. Eric thought that the people probably thought that he was not going to be able to do nothing to the sects and would fail. That what the people were exactly were thinking but not the nobles and the sect that were being threatened to come here.
The moment Eric released his qi the strongest person in the empire was scared shitless as his cultivation was also dropped by 2 stages. This person hearing that the mysterious person was asking for the main power in the Empire, he was lift with one choice, which was to tell this people to obey whatever this person was demanding for.
The people that heard that the strongest cultivator demanded them to go and obey whatever this person was saying, the words from the strongest cultivator only had one meaning, which was the person that was asking for them were pretty much op as hell.
Eric wasn't aware of this as he was looking around the city to find something fun to do while they were coming.
As he was walking around he saw a gathering were people were signing up for something, eric wanted to know what it was about so he went and stood in the line for the gathering that was happening.
He stood there for 10 minutes before it was time for him to go and sign up but before he did he asked,
"What is this gathering about?"
The receptionist looked a bit annoyed as she was here only to take people name down not tell them what it was about, but the moment she looked at Eric's face she forgot everything and started to explain everything slowly.
A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
While trying to look good in front of this person she started to play with her and said
"Today we are doing a competition for rouge cultivators, the competition was set up by one of the major sect to find a talented people in this place and try to convince them to join their sect'.
"When is it starting" he asked the lady
"In 1 hour".
Eric that he would join this competition just for fun to see people try to compete with him than fail, and another reason he wanted to join was because he wanted to find new disciples for his sect.
Eric was not going to choose the most talented person in the bunch as they were nothing to him so he need to find somebody that gave a good vibe about their personality to him.
Eric was here trying to find new disciples while the major powers in the empire where running their ass of to get to here. They were not actually running as they could just use a teleportation formation and transport themselves here but to do such a large-scale transportation they needed at least 2000000 high spirit stones, which was something very difficult to have as the stones where not found easily.
The sects needed a lot of time to get here but the nobles didn't as most of them lived in this city with their mansions spreading throughout the city.
Eric had finished signing up for the competition and just was waiting to see if the people he was trying to fight would arrive, but the one thing he hated the most was waiting so he just started to go in an inn and eat or drink something that could waste his time.
He got in the inn and saw that every sit was filled with people, when he entered he heard a person "sir there is no more place left except the highest level for eating if you could afford the highest level you could stay there but if you can't, our guards could lead you to our other inn across the city".
Eric asked "How much the top level costs".
"It costs 20000 gold per hour"
Eric was shocked as in his whole time in here he had earned only 10k gold but he had no choice but to live this place.
As he was about to leave he remembered that he had a system with him so he asked
"I want to buy some gold from the shop".
The moment he said that three stuff appeared in front of him
1st one was a picture of a pouch, 2nd was a pouch filled with gold and the 3rd one was a 3 pouches with gold surrounding them
He looked at the third one and saw that it had 100M gold in it and it costed 10000 Upgrade Cards
Eric didn't bother with anything and just went and bought the third one.
The gold has been transported to your spatial ring
He took exactly 20k gold out of his spatial ring and gave it to him.
The person started to lead him towards his sit.
