Recruitment

"King Panwu, is something the matter?"

This Gu Jinlai.

"I've heard you're a very skilled swordsman? How about a duel?"

Pan Dali grinned.

"It's just that others are praising us. Our cultivation should focus on tempering our bodies and strengthening our martial will. Swordsmanship is just a minor matter."

Gu Jinlai said, "Moreover, King Panwu was a person who had mastered several Cultivation Method."

"That's right."

Pan Dali accepted the praise from Gu Jinlai: "Among the twenty-six advanced Martial Kings of the Martial Saint Academy, I, Pan Dali, acknowledge second place, and no one dares to claim first. Do you agree with this statement?"

"Agree."

Gu Jinlai nodded.

This is true.

Of the twenty-six Martial Kings studying at the Martial Saint Academy, only Pan Dali was a Peak Martial King, and there were only three Top Martial Kings. The remaining twenty-two were all Ordinary Martial Kings and Advanced Martial Kings.

After all, the purpose of "further education" is to keep up with the main group.

After achieving their goals, the Kings of Wu would each assume their respective duties.

Even a powerful city like Fengyu City wouldn't be so wealthy as to leave twenty-six Martial Kings unused and underutilized.

"The heroes who defend the city should receive the treatment they deserve. The Purifiers should step into the limelight and receive more generous treatment, no longer fighting alone without a system as before... Of course, with power, position and treatment, the difficulty of the assessment will also increase significantly. Of the forty-two Martial Kings of the Martial Saint Academy, only nine have joined the Purifiers. It is questionable whether the remaining thirty-three can become Purifiers."

Pan Dali glanced at Gu Jinlai and said, "You're lucky."

"Will those who purge be brought to the forefront and receive lucrative rewards?"

There have been some surprises Gu Jinlai.

"That's right. In addition to the contribution points gained from hunting down out-of-control individuals and cultists on the Bounty Board, any Purifier will also be granted a quasi-Dao-level weapon and armor. Furthermore, Purifiers will have their own defense zones, no longer like before, a disorganized mess. Some Purifiers, because the out-of-control individuals were powerful, would just watch them wreak havoc without standing up to stop them, allowing them to commit enormous atrocities."

Pan Dali Dao.

Those who have heard this Gu Jinlai have generally agreed with this improvement.

The entire military apparatus of Wind and Rain City is actually divided into four parts.

The Wind and Rain Guards under the control of the City Lord Mansion are all elites of military rank or above, and they only obey the City Lord's orders.

Then came the garrison troops.

The garrison can be further divided into 100,000 demon-suppressing troops, 400,000 city guards, and 300,000 patrol troops.

The Demon Suppression Army is responsible for conquering Demonic Beasts, out-of-control individuals, and cultists, and is composed of elite warriors of martial arts level or above.

Besides the Wind and Rain Guard and the Garrison Army, there is also the Demon Slaying Hall, which is composed of military officers and Spirit Refining, as well as the Martial Saint Academy, which has not yet completed its studies but is actually already serving in the Wind and Rain Guard, the Garrison Army, and the Demon Slaying Hall.

However, among these four military forces, the Wind and Rain Guard is often responsible for protecting the core ancient city area, ensuring the peace and tranquility of the City Lord Mansion and the ancient city area.

The Demon Slayers and the elite Demon-Suppressing Army in the garrison are mainly responsible for dealing with Demonic Beasts outside the city.

Because the number of out-of-control individuals and cultists in the city is relatively small, there has never been a dedicated organization to deal with them, and the purgers alone are becoming increasingly inadequate.

Judging from Pan Dali's statement, Fengyu City may intend to establish a special department to deal with out-of-control individuals and cultists, and grant it sufficient authority.

"The Purifiers are easily assassinated because they fight individually. But if the Purifiers are brought together and formed into Purifier squads, who would dare to mess with them? Anyone who dares to become a Purifier is already very confident in themselves. A powerful alliance! Hey, if those cultists and out-of-control individuals dare to assassinate us again, aren't they just courting death?"

As Pan Dali spoke, his gaze fixed on Gu Jinlai, filled with oppressive force, he said, "The higher-ups plan to establish three Purifier brigades, one each for the Ancient City, the New City, and the Outer City, and sixteen smaller teams, each responsible for guarding the eight domains of the New City and patrolling the eight domains of the Outer City. The smaller teams for the Southeast City will be formed by our Martial Saint Academy. As a peak Martial Saint, I, Pan Dali, am best able to ensure the safety of the Purifier team members. Asking for a captain's position is not unreasonable. The Ancient Martial King will support me, right?"

Team members enjoy various generous benefits, not to mention the team leader.

Gu Jinlai estimates, this is at least equivalent to the treatment of a deputy domain lord.

This amount...

It could directly affect the lives and deaths of three to four million people.

"I am unaware of this matter..."

This Gu Jinlai.

"You already know."

Pan Dali immediately said, "If you have any questions, you can ask me directly. As your future captain, I am happy to answer my team members' questions."

At this point, his expression darkened. "Or do you have some ideas of your own? Do you want to compete with me for the captaincy?"

Gu Jinlai at Pan Dali, Gu Jinlai frowned.

This kind of behavior...

That was really reckless.

However, he thought of Pan Dali's martial will, or rather, all martial kings who wanted to cultivate their martial will...

This approach of disregarding all human sentiment and acting solely according to one's nature seems to be a consistent style of the Kings Wu.

If a martial king ever learns to be flexible and tactful, he essentially loses the qualification to unite the will of martial arts.

Of course, there are exceptions for those whose nature is like this and who use it as the direction for consolidating their martial arts will.

"As an ordinary Martial King, I naturally wouldn't compete with Martial King Pan."

Gu Jinlai said, "As for the matter of the captain you mentioned, as long as King Panwu is indeed the strongest at that time and can guarantee the safety of us Purgers, I will naturally be willing to support you to become the captain."

"Hahaha."

Upon Gu Jinlai this, Pan Dali burst into laughter. "Good lad, I knew I hadn't misjudged you. Don't worry, once I become the captain, I, Pan Dali, won't let you suffer any losses. Come on, come on, wherever you want to eat, wherever you want to play, whatever you want, it's on me."

Gu Jinlai watching Pan Dali.

That's incredibly arrogant.

He didn't want to deal with him any longer and was thinking of finding an excuse to leave.

He glanced ahead and saw three rather youthful and beautiful girls who seemed to be visiting the Martial Saint Academy, chattering away.

Look at their clothes and outfits...

It must be some martial arts students who have not yet been admitted to the martial arts academy, who are looking up at the highest institution of martial arts with a pilgrimage-like gaze.

But it was this gaze that made Pan Dali misunderstand something. He laughed and said, "You've taken a fancy to these young girls? Which one? Or all three? Heh, these teenage girls are indeed quite naive. They're not easy to play with. They'll be dead in no time. Like them? I'll give them to you."

Before Gu Jinlai react, he strode over to the three of them and took out a token. "I am a senior advisor to the city guard, a Martial King. Among the people you came into contact with earlier, there seems to be an out-of-control individual. I suspect that you have been targeted by that out-of-control individual. For your safety, please come with me. I will guarantee your safety."

Upon hearing this, the three girls, who had been chattering and smiling, turned pale with fright.

"Out of control?"

"How could this happen? Why did this happen?"

"Lord Wu, you... you must save us."

The three girls looked terrified; one of them had red eyes and looked like she was about to cry.

"Don't worry, it is our duty to combat out-of-control individuals and ensure public safety. Let's not delay, follow me."

Pan Dali said solemnly, "To prevent that out-of-control person from using you as a basis to further target your family and cause your parents and relatives to suffer, you must never let them know about this matter."

"Yes, yes, I... I would never say such a thing."

The three nodded repeatedly in fear.

Out of control!

What a terrifying existence that is.

Each occurrence results in numerous innocent casualties.

Although their family was well-off and had some assets, the strongest member of their family was only a mid-level martial artist. How could they possibly fight against an out-of-control person whose weakest member was a martial general?

The Martial King before them became their only lifeline.

"Let's go, Ancient Martial King."

Pan Dali led the three of them to Gu Jinlai's side. "Look, where should we take these three?"

Looking at Pan Dali, Gu Jinlai vaguely realized that there was a reason for the pitch-black Karma on his body.

Why bother?

This Gu Jinlai.

"Is the Ancient Martial King worried about potential future troubles?"

Pan Dali, using the vibration of his Qi and Blood to focus his voice into a line, said, "As long as you have a plausible reason, you can do whatever you want. Just handle it later and say that they were killed by the out-of-control people. If their families dare to cause trouble, wipe out their whole family and pin it on the out-of-control people. We, as dignified Martial Kings, usually hunt down out-of-control people, demon cultists, and Demonic Beasts. To protect these people, we live a life of licking blood from the blade and risking our lives. Every time we kill an out-of-control person, how many people are we saving? Hundreds? Thousands? What's a few deaths?"

Gu Jinlai at the three anxious girls and said, "There's a mistake. That person wasn't out of control. You can leave now."

The three girls were taken aback, and turned their gazes toward Pan Dali with some disbelief.

Pan Dali glanced at Gu Jinlai and chuckled, but considering that he still needed Gu Jinlai's support in the competition, he immediately waved to the three girls. "My colleague here has much better eyesight than me. If he says he's mistaken, then he must be mistaken. You can go now."

"Sir, would you like to take another look..."

One of the girls mustered her courage and spoke up timidly.

But before she could finish speaking, Pan Dali glared at her and said, "Do I, the dignified Martial King, have the time to waste on you?"

The girl felt her heart freeze as she was glared at by Pan Dali's icy killing intent.

Gu Jinlai, Gu Jinlai stepped forward and stopped Pan Dali, then said to the three girls, "It's alright, you must have been mistaken, you can go now."

At this moment, the other two girls suddenly woke up and lowered their heads in fear. "Yes... Lord Wu, we'll leave now."

As he spoke, he quickly pulled the stiff-looking girl aside, bowed, and left.

"I didn't realize that the Ancient Martial King was such a good person, hahaha."

Pan Dali laughed.

However, there was a hint of mockery in that laughter.

"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now."

Gu Jinlai.

"Remember what you said."

Pan Dali gave a reminder.

He watched Gu Jinlai's departing figure, his eyes narrowed slightly, and after a moment, he sneered, "Such a fool? That makes things easier."
