After a lot of convincing from Gu Qing Shan, Qin Xiao Lou finally reluctantly gave up on that title.

And Gu Qing Shan was able to breath out from relief.

For the next period of time, he focused entirely on recuperating his wounds, occasionally came out for a walk.

Many sects’ cultivators all look at him with true respect, so they were more than willing to come and make friends with him as they saw him.

In these two days, he met and got to know West Mountain’s Four Swords, the two female cultivators of Xia Zong sect, as well as a few other notable genius cultivators of the same generation.

At noon on the third day, Gu Qing Shan once again finished a medicine bath, got out and used inner sight to check himself.

After a while, he smiled.

Finally, his wounds are fully cured.

Almost as if waiting for this moment, a flame talisman flew into his camp from outside and landed in front of him. historical

Taking the communication talisman in hand, Bai Hua Fairy’s voice came.

“Go to the center tent, we’re going to distribute dispatch roles”

Wearing clothes, he got out of his tent.

The center tent.

Bai Hua Fairy, Xuanyuan Tianzun and the Great Monk of Sorrow were sitting in the host seats.

Below, an armored General just finished receiving his role, stood up to bow then left.

Gu Qing Shan walked in.

“How is it, are your wounds healed?” the Great Monk of Sorrow asked first of all.

“Yes, they have. My gratitude to the Saint for rewarding me with the medicine” Gu Qing Shan spoke very formally.

“Amitabha, it’s good that you’re healed, it’s good that you’re healed, all my medicine wasn’t a waste”

His complexion wasn’t exactly good, the corner of this lips were trembling, as if remembering something.

Even as a Saint, he was still shaking a bit when he spoke about this.

Of course, this is understandable, having so much valuable medicine that couldn’t be bought with money taken away, anyone else would’ve already cried tears of blood.

Bai Hua Fairy looked away as if it had nothing to do with her, while Gu Qing Shan very wisely stayed silent and didn’t respond.

They’ve already gotten what they wanted, no need to rub it in.

Xuanyuan Tianzun changed the subject: “The army is just about to attack Shen Wu world, currently we’re arrange the roles for each general, summoned you here because we wanted to hear your thoughts before making our decisions”

Gu Qing Shan clasped his fists: “I’m willing to lead the troops”

This was his literal job during the past life, doing it once again in this life isn’t that hard a thing to do.

Although his cultivation still isn’t much to write home about, his experience with commanding troops on the battlefield is still there, and since the cultivators of the sects all owe him one, he probably won’t receive too much dissatisfaction while commanding for now.

The only worry is Shen Wu world itself.

This is a completely new world.

In the past life, humanity didn’t even manage to counter-attack, let alone going to Shen Wu world.

Gu Qing Shan himself was also only sent to Shen Wu world by Gong Sun Zhi for a really short time before he had to leave.

In that short time, he has no way to investigate clearly just what kind of world it was.

However, it’s this type of unknown challenge that makes one’s blood boil with excitement.

Gu Qing Shan felt he’s already well-prepared.

This will be the battle where he regains his role as the commander of an army.

The three Saints exchanged looks, but didn’t say anything yet.

Bai Hua Fairy was smiling, very satisfied with this disciple of hers.

Many generals who just advanced their ranks would rather choose a dangerous and arduous solo mission rather than leading troops.

Because leading troops also means their responsibility magnifies greatly.

Every single soldier’s life or death depends entirely on the general’s competence. Not to mention, they have to arrange the battle plan and marching plan for their troops; once they finished their mission and meet up with other troops, they have to make a quick decision on whether to combine troops for safety or quickly return to report the mission.

Aside from that, once the troops meet an enemy they can’t beat with pure force, or while on the frontline, they have to be able to quickly think of the way to break through the situations, otherwise they’ll be met with an “incompetent commander” label and gets punished for it via military laws.

That is to say, gaining the title of “General” is easy, actually doing the job of one is very hard.

Xuanyuan Tianzun thought about it, then arranged his words a bit: “Although you’ve contributed greatly in the previous battle, you’re still very young, not even 20 years old yet. If you were to command troops, there’s a chance that your subordinates will not listen to you”

“Yes, Saint. Then, at first I’m willing to command just a small amount of troops as well” Gu Qing Shan answered.

Right now, he’s thinking of the benefits he has while being in command.

The Destiny Quest given by War God UI this time will probably not be easy.

If he has a team under him, quite a few things can be accomplished through using the power of others.

No matter how hard the mission is, it’ll be much easier to do with the help of hundreds of cultivators compared to going at it alone.

While he was thinking, the Great Monk of Sorrow spoke up: “Amitabha, this monk also think young benefactor Gu is much too young. It’s better for you to train a little and get used to being a General before we talk about commanding troops again”

Hearing two Saints saying the same thing, Gu Qing Shan was a bit disappointed.

I’m only inexperienced on the surface while I’ve been through countless battlefields already, couldn’t you at least give me a chance to try it?

He then looked at Bai Hua Fairy and said: “I’m willing to command only a team of 10, I don’t need more than that”

Bai Hua Fairy also shook her head: “You’re inexperienced so even 10 people might be a problem, it’s better if you get used to the position first”

Direct refusal.

Bai Hua Fairy sent her voice to her disciple: “What they’re saying makes sense, and I also think so. The situation with Shen Wu world is unknown, it’s safer for you to travel alone for now. Once you’ve gotten used to the situation there, I’ll provide you with some men”

Fine, since Shifu is being protective like this, I have to at least respect her thoughts.

Not to mention, trying to haggle back and forth with all three Saints is nothing short of seeking death.

Gu Qing Shan could only clasp his fist: “Understood”

Seeing him accepting it, the three Saint slightly nodded.

“Very well, you’re dismissed for now, we’ll discuss about it for a bit more before delegating your role”

“Roger”

Gu Qing Shan retreated from the center tent.

That night, the entire camp got busy.

An air of uncertainty filled the place.

Since tomorrow they’ll officially attack into Shen Wu world, everyone was anxious.

That night, the three Ding Yuan Generals Gong Sun Zhi, monk Sun Ming and Ning Yue Xi will lead their own troops and advance to Shen Wu world first.

They will open up an area within the sea of demons, put down formations and set up camp, preparing to receive humanity’s main army the day after.

Gu Qing Shan was busy painting his airship white to cover up the character “Qing”.

He’ll need to use this tomorrow, if there’s a one in a million chance that people see both his and Qin Xiao Lou’s airships side by side, painted with the characters “Qing” and “Lou” respectively, who knows what everyone will think.

If someone happens to see that and laugh uncontrollably, then die on the battlefield, it’ll be hard to say whose fault it is.

A flame talisman came flying.

Gu Qing Shan received it to hear Ning Yue Xi’s voice.

“I’ll have to leave first, Shen Wu world is extremely dangerous, contact me anytime you need, I’ll go save you”

Hearing the message on the communication talisman, Gu Qing Shan’s expression was a bit complicated.

Tch, the girl is clearly saying it out of good intentions, but why do I keep feeling a bit unsatisfied here?

Gu Qing Shan shook his head, then replied: “You also be careful yourself” and let the talisman fly.

He quickly covered up the character “Qing” painted in green, replacing it with a red character “Shan”

Stepping back a few steps, he was able to see the big red character perfectly painted in the middle of the airship on a white background.

It’s done.

Gu Qing Shan nodded satisfyingly.
