But Zhang Huanyun and Cao Dezhi understood those words differently.
They felt that Leng Yaozhu looked down on them, believing they lacked the ability to protect Su Chen.
After all, neither of them was as powerful as Leng Yaozhu.
Although Cao Dezhi was the strongest member of the Blood God Legion, his cultivation was not among the absolute best.
There were a full eighteen beings in the Abyss stronger than Cao Dezhi!
And with the most terrifying Abyssal Sage King included, that made nineteen in total!
If Su Chen's abilities were exposed, the Abyss would definitely hunt him down like mad.
Leng Yaozhu's concerns were understandable.
"Fine. He doesn't need to join the military. He can remain with the Blood God Legion as external support from the Spirit Pagoda, with absolute autonomy and the highest level of treatment. At the same time, he won't need to obey any orders..."

In the end, Zhang Huanyun compromised. Rather than forcing Su Chen to join the Blood God Legion, he allowed him to remain with the legion as external support.
