Redwood Island.
Seaview Immortal City.
In the main hall of the Western Defense Zone Alliance Army Headquarters.
A streak of light flew towards the main hall.
The person who came was a middle-aged cultivator in armor. This cultivator had a burly figure. Coupled with his ling armor, he did not look like a cultivator. Instead, he looked like a natural-born soldier.
He pushed the door open and entered.
Lei Zhen saw a Taoist wearing a green Taoist robe and a jade crown standing with his hands behind his back.
This person was his immediate superior, Chen Daoxuan.
“Lei Zhen, recruited in the year 957 of the Qianyuan Calendar. He was a hundred soldier captain at the Yunmeng Pass on the frontline of the Yun Nation.”
Chen Daoxuan turned around and looked at Lei Zhen, who was cupping his hands at him. He smiled and said,”General Lei, why did you choose to return to Guang ‘an Prefecture, a place of stagnant water, when you were doing so well at the front line of the Yun Nation?”
Hearing this.
Lei Zhen was silent.
After a long time, he cupped his hands and said,” Commander, most of the troops stationed at Cloud-Dream Pass are from Jingzhou. I’m a Cangzhou cultivator, and I was ostrized there. I’ve reported to the higher-ups a few times, but they were biased. I was unhappy, so I came back.””
Chen Daoxuan could hear that this should be Lei Zhen’s heartfelt words.
Ever since the Southern Mountain’s City was lost, the Cangzhou cultivators who went to the front line to serve could only go to the immortal city’s majestic pass that was stationed in other provinces.
Moreover, ever since the news of the Cangzhou cultivators losing the Southern Mountain’s City spread, the other provinces despised the Cangzhou cultivators.
One could imagine how much humiliation one would suffer if they were to become soldiers in someone else’s territory.
In addition, Lei Zhen’s personality was not very good at seducing, so he was more likely to be ostracized.
Hearing this.
Chen Daoxuan’s mood also became heavier.
The loss of the Southern Mountain’s City was a pain in the hearts of all the cultivators in Cangzhou. Moreover, this pain did not heal with the passage of time.
On the contrary, due to the subsequent loss of the Cangzhou cultivators ‘reputation and interests, it became even more serious.
He took a few steps forward and patted Lei Zhen’s shoulder.”General Lei, don’t worry. The cultivators of our Cang Prefecture will definitely take back the immortal city of the Southern Mountain’s City!”
“Yes.”
Ray Zhen seemed to have recalled some unpleasant memories. His eyes were red as he nodded.
Seeing the solemn atmosphere, Chen Daoxuan took Lei Zhen’s hand and sat down with him. He said,””General Lei, let’s not talk about these unhappy things.
Counting the days, you’ve been in the Western Defense Alliance Army for almost a year, right?”
“Eleven months and seven days.
“General Lei has a good memory.”
Chen Daoxuan smiled and said without batting an eyelid,” The zombie tide on Lotus Island is now weak, and the coalition army in the Western Defense Zone won’t exist forever. I wonder what General Lei plans to do in the future.””
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHearing this.
Lei Zhen opened his mouth slowly, not knowing how to answer.
After a while.
He shook his head bitterly.” Maybe. I’ll go back to my island and instruct the mortals to farm.”
Besides cultivation, 1 don’t know any alchemy or weapon forging techniques. It seems that other than farming for the great clan and exchanging some spirit stones, there’s no other good way out.”
This time, Chen Daoxuan was surprised.
“General Lei, with your cultivation base, don’t tell me that no clan in Guang ‘an Prefecture has invited you to be a guest cultivator?”
“Yes, of course,”
Lei Zhen nodded and smiled bitterly.” But the Honored Guest is just a nice sounding term. In reality, he is just a dog of a large family. Although 1 am down and out, I am not a dog of a large family.””
Hearing this.
Chen Daoxuan tapped his seat lightly, making a tapping sound.
Lei Zhen looked simple and honest on the surface, but he was actually very shrewd. Before Chen Daoxuan could say anything, Lei Zhen blocked his next words.
He, Lei Zhen, was not willing to be a lackey of a big family, so how could he be willing to be a lackey of the Chen family?
After all, even though the Chen family was recognized by the major families of Guang ‘an Prefecture, there was still a gap between them and the major families in terms of strength and heritage.
Even though Chen Daoxuan had successfully converted to the Book of Heaven Essence Sword, and the power of his Real Essence had increased by 70%, he could vaguely touch the Ultimate Real Essence mentioned in the Book of Heaven Essence Sword.
In terms of strength.
The current Chen Daoxuan was no longer evenly matched with that early-stage Purple Prefecture zombie. Perhaps without the Myriad Corpse Blood Fiend Array to heal its injuries, Chen Daoxuan would have a chance to kill it.
In other words.
Right now, Chen Daoxuan’s power was already 30% stronger than that of ordinary early Zifu Disciples.
The strength of the Chen family naturally rose with the tide, but compared to the Zhou family and the Yang family, they were still inferior.
Since Lei Zhen could even reject the recruitment of the Zhou and Yang families, let alone the Chen family.
Knowing that recruiting was difficult, Chen Daoxuan didn’t mind. He smiled and said,””May I ask how old General Lei is this year?”
Hearing this.
Lei Zhen seemed to be a little unhappy, but he still cupped his fists and said,”I’m 87 years old this year.”
Eighty-seven years old, eighth layer Foundation Establishment!
“Are you a heaven spirit root cultivator?”
Chen Daoxuan said seriously.
“Yes.”
Ray Zhen nodded.” But compared to you Swordsmen…”
Ray Zhen shook his head in disappointment.
So what if he was a Heaven Spiritual Root cultivator? Even though Heaven Spiritual Roots were one in ten thousand, there were at least a few hundred Heaven Spiritual Roots cultivators out of the millions of cultivators in Guang ‘an Prefecture.
In the entire Cang Prefecture, the number of heaven spirit root cultivators had increased by more than ten times or even dozens of times.
There were hundreds of states in the Infinite Star Sea. Although cultivators with heavenly spiritual roots were considered geniuses, they were far from being heaven’s pride experts.
Only sword cultivators like Zhou Mubai and Chen Daoxuan could truly be called geniuses among cultivators. Not only were they invincible among those of the same cultivation level, but they could even fight those of a higher cultivation level. They were completely unlike humans.
Chen Daoxuan finally knew why Lei Zhen was so arrogant and unwilling to be a guest elder of a large clan.
Reaching the eighth layer of the Foundation Establishment realm at the age of eighty-seven, he would definitely be able to reach the ninth layer of the Foundation Establishment realm in less than ten years.
At that time, he would have to polish his true essence and prepare to break through to the Zifu Disciple level.
With Lei Zhen’s age, if he went to the front lines to accumulate resources, he might really have a chance to advance to the Purple Prefecture Stage.
After all, the lifespan of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator was as long as
200 years.
Lei Zhen was probably less than 110 years old when he polished his True Essence to perfection.
He would have enough time to break through to the Zifu Disciple level.
The only pity was that he wasn’t a member of the family, so he had to earn all the cultivation resources he needed.
If a disciple of a large family had such talent, he would have been nurtured as a core disciple long ago.
Just like Zhou Mubai and Yang Gongwan.
At this point, Chen Daoxuan did not hide it anymore.
“If my Chen family is willing to offer you all the resources you need to break through to the Zifu Disciple realm, I wonder if you are willing to be a guest of my Chen family?”
“You mean, all the resources needed to break through to the Purple Mansion Stage?”
In his desperation, Lei Zhen even forgot to address him respectfully.
“That’s right!”
Chen Daoxuan nodded.” Not only that, in the future, our Chen Family is also willing to help General Lei establish a cultivation family and pass down the orthodoxy from generation to generation.”
Hearing this.
Lei Zhen’s breathing quickened. He cupped his hands and said,””Lord Commander, no, Lord Chen, are you serious?”
“How is this fake? If General Lei doesn’t believe me, how about I swear an oath to the God?”
No, no need!”
Lei Zhen waved his hand repeatedly.” I, Lei Zhen, trust a Swordsman’s promise!”
After saying that.
Ray Zhen immediately stood up from his seat and stood straight in front of Chen Daoxuan.
Then, he pushed the golden mountain and toppled the jade pillar. He knelt down and said,”I, Lei, am willing to serve the Chen family until 1 die!”
“Good!”
Chen Daoxuan was overjoyed. He quickly walked forward and helped Lei Zhen up with both hands. He laughed and said,”General Lei, please rise.”
When the other party stood up.
“General Lei’s help is like adding wings to a tiger,” Chen Daoxuan said with a smile.”
“I don’t dare to accept your words.”
Lei Zhenqian said.
Even though he was a proud person, he did not dare to be arrogant in front of such a young Swordsman.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBecause in terms of talent and potential, Chen Daoxuan was more than eighteen streets ahead of him.
This logic was something he had deeply understood when he was defeated by Chen Daoxuan with a single sword at the Zhou Clan’s encampment.
Today, he was willing to become a guest elder of the Chen family and serve the Chen family as the master. Other than the conditions that Chen Daoxuan had given him that he could not refuse, there was another important reason, and that was the worship of the strong.
Humans naturally worshipped the strong, and the strong would only worship the stronger.
Ray Zhen was a typical example of this kind of person.
After subduing Lei Zhen and watching him leave, Chen Daoxuan heaved a sigh of relief.
Outside the door.
Chen Daochuan was waiting outside with a cultivator at the ninth level of the Aura Refining realm. When he saw Lei Zhen coming out, Chen Daochuan quickly smiled and cupped his hands.
Lei Zhen knew that Chen Daochuan’s status in the Chen Family was not low. He did not dare to look down on him just because his cultivation was low, so he quickly cupped his hands in return.
When Lei Zhen left.
Chen Daochuan pushed open the door and walked into the hall.
“Young Clan Leader!”
Chen Daochuan cupped his hands.
“Yes,”
Chen Daoxuan raised his head.” Where’s the person I asked you to invite?”
“He’s waiting outside the hall.”
“Phew!”
Chen Daoxuan let out a sigh of relief.” These few days, we have finally subdued seven of the eight rogue cultivators and ten thousand soldiers from the Western Defense Region’s coalition army.”
Hearing this.
“Congratulations, Young Clan Leader!” Chen Daochuan immediately said with a face full of joy.”
“Now, only Zhou Mucheng of the Zhou Clan, Wei Lidao of the Wei Clan, and that untactful middle Foundation Establishment stage rogue cultivator are left.”
Chen Daoxuan’s expression turned ugly when he talked about that insensible rogue cultivator, Commander Wan.
He was the commander of the western defense alliance army, the young clan leader of the Chen clan. He had tried to recruit the other party with such courtesy, but he had rejected him.
Chen Daoxuan was naturally unhappy.
One had to know that although the other great clans would also recruit itinerant cultivators as guest elders, they would just casually send someone out to recruit them. How could they be like Chen Daoxuan, who personally came to recruit as a dignified young clan leader?
Most importantly, the other party actually rejected him.
This made Chen Daoxuan feel uncomfortable, but at the same time, there was a faint doubt in his heart. This person seemed to be too noble. Was there really such a proud person in this world who could even reject the Purple Mansion Pill?
He thought that the conditions he had given were high enough. Since the other party was unwilling, Chen Daoxuan naturally would not let him continue to sit in the position of the commander of the Western Defense Zone Coalition Army.
Since he couldn’t use her, wouldn’t such a person be an eyesore under his command?
As the commander of the Western Defense Zone, Chen Daoxuan had ten thousand reasons to dismiss him.
The alliance headquarters wouldn’t be unhappy with Chen Daoxuan because of this small matter.
Otherwise, Zhou Minghao’s investment in him would have been in vain.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Daoxuan nodded and said,””Let him in.”
“Yes, Young Clan Leader.”
Chen Daochuan cupped his hands in greeting, and the person waiting outside the voice transmission hall let him in.
He focused his eyes.
Chen Daoxuan discovered that this ninth qi layer cultivator was actually an old acquaintance..
