Becoming the Northern Guard Deputy Prefect of Tong Pass

It would be foolish not to use a powerful backer.

After arguing for a long time, Qian Hengsheng and Tai Shang Liangbai, seeing that they could not find any loopholes in Lin Yi Yiyi's argument, stopped talking.

Before long, a figure shrouded in mist gathered and took shape in the hall; it was Wu Shi than Prefecture Lord of Tong Pass.

Wu Shi changed into clean clothes, and under the candlelight, his robes glowed faintly. Combined with his well-defined facial features, he looked like a deity descending to earth, making people dare not look at him.

"Greetings, Deputy Prefecture Lord Wushi!"

All the Garrison Commander stood up and bowed, and even the three old men on the stage stood up and bowed slightly.

Wu Shi nodded, his gaze sweeping over everyone, lingering on Lin Yi for a moment, before saying, "Now that everyone is here, I have something to say. The Fire Domain Trial has ended, and Qin Jian performed the best among the ten Garrison Commander. After discussions with the Prefecture Lord, Qin Jian will be the new deputy Prefecture Lord of Tong Pass! The core spot in the secret realm will also go to Qin Jian."

What?

They made the decision in such a hurry.

Both Qian Hengsheng and Qian Xuan were somewhat puzzled.

Even though the Prefecture Lord has agreed, such a grand celebration still needs to be announced back in Tongguan Prefecture.

Qian Hengsheng transmitted his voice, "Wu Shi, isn't this a bit rushed?"

"No haste. Once the decision is made, whoever completes the task will be the deputy Prefecture Lord. This decision cannot be changed."

Qian Hengsheng, unwilling to give up, said again, "But isn't Town Guardian Qin too inexperienced? Most importantly, he just broke through to the Martial Saint Seventh Realm not long ago. Can he suppress the others in Tongguan Prefecture?"

Wu Shi spoke up, "Suppress? Ask the garrison Garrison Commander present if they submit to Qin Jian or not?"

Upon hearing this, Shao Lian immediately said, "Deputy Prefecture Lord Wushi, we all agree that Town Guardian Qin should become the new Vice Prefecture Lord."

Qian Xuan also spoke up, but his opinion was one of opposition. "But Town Guardian Qin has only been the Tongguan Prefecture for three years. If he is made the deputy Prefecture Lord just because of this Trial, I'm afraid it would be unreasonable."

Wu Shi smiled and asked, "So what are your thoughts?"

"I believe that Town Guardian Qin has indeed made great contributions in this Endless Fire Domain. You can reward him with the core spot of the secret realm. As for the position of deputy Prefecture Lord, we need to discuss it again."

Wu Shi glanced at him. "You're good at saying 'I'm good,' why don't you take on my 'I' position too?"

"I wouldn't dare."

Seeing Wu Shi's cold tone, Qian Xuan quickly cupped his hands and said no more.

"The deputy Prefecture Lord's decision has been made, as has the Secret Realm Slot. Also, among the ten Garrison Commander this time, Qian Xuan was held responsible, which caused a lapse in Tongguan Prefecture's plan and he needs to be severely punished."

"Qian Xuan, from this moment on, you shall return to Second Tong Pass to guard it and shall not leave for the next thirty years."

Upon hearing Wu Shi's words, Qian Xuan's expression instantly turned grim.

Qian Hengsheng raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but say, "Wu Shi, isn't this punishment a bit too much?"

Wu Shi looked at the two. "I've already given your Qian Family a chance, but you couldn't seize it. Whose fault is that? Also, if you want him to live safely, go back to Second Tong Pass, otherwise..."

The word "Wu Shi"Wu Shi was not repeated afterward, but everyone knew its meaning.

If Qian Xuan doesn't go back, his life may be in danger.

Qian Hengsheng wanted to say something more, but having personally witnessed Wu Shi Shi's methods and strength in this scheme against the White Marsh Demon God, he knew that Wu Shi had probably already surpassed the Martial Saint Nine Realms that he aspired to, far exceeding them.

Now, they are no longer qualified to stand with Wu Shi.

Helpless, Qian Xuan could only sigh and resign himself to his fate, "Yes, I obey!"

Wu Shi added, "The secret of the Endless Fire Domain is a top secret of Tongguan Prefecture. No one is allowed to divulge it. Also, the fact that Qin Jian is about to become the deputy Prefecture Lord Tong Pass must not be deliberately spread."

The crowd naturally responded.

Finally, Wu Shi looked at Lin Yi and said, "Come with me, I have something to tell you."

Lin Yi clasped his hands in a fist salute and followed, saying, "Yes, Master!"

Master?

Everyone present was taken aback.

Deputy Prefecture Lord Wushi taken on a disciple? And the disciple is none other than the newly appointed Deputy Prefect of Tong Pass Prefecture Lord, Qin Jian.

Qian Xuan stared at Lin Yi Yi's retreating figure, gritted his teeth, and transmitted his voice, "Ancestor, could it be that because of the apprenticeship ceremony, Deputy Prefecture Lord Wushi is biased towards Qin Jian?"

Qian Hengsheng interrupted coldly, "Shut up, there's no need to discuss this anymore. Since it Wu Shi by Wushi, you have no chance. If you see Qin Jian again, avoid him!"

"Ancestor, you are at the same cultivation level as Deputy Prefecture Lord Wushi, why is this..."

"You really are stupid. If Wushi Wu Shi at the same level as me, I would shamelessly fight for you again. But right now, Wushi has become an existence that Wu Shi us can afford to offend."

Qian Xuan's mouth dropped open. "Could it be that Deputy Prefecture Lord Wushi has already reached the Martial Saint Nine Realms!"

"He's not completely stupid. Anyway, forget about the position of Deputy Prefecture Lord of Tong Pass..."

Wu Shi led Lin Yi to a study in Tongguan Prefecture.

Lin Yi said, "Master, you can just say what you have to say. There's no need to bring me to this secluded study."

Kneel down!

"Ah?"

Lin Yi thought Wu Shi was giving him a warning, telling him he shouldn't have revealed his master-disciple relationship.

But Wu Shi took out a Jade Token and solemnly said, "Kneel down and receive this. I am going to appoint you as the Deputy Prefecture Lord of Tongguan Prefecture!"

"Good."

Seeing that he wasn't kneeling on the paving stones, Lin Yi pulled and lifted the stones on the floor to create a paving stone that fit the contours of his knees.

Wu Shi's lips twitched. "If the ancestors who left behind the ' Gen Mountain ' Domain saw you using it like this, they would probably slap you to death."

"Master, you flatter me!"

Wu Shi shook his head; he had figured it out.

The Born One he had taken in was not only exceptionally talented and quick-witted, but also extremely shameless.

"Tongguan Prefecture was established when the Gu Xianhe predecessors first created the Ancient Domain. Tongguan Prefecture has Twelve Town Guardians, five deputy Prefecture Lord with their own duties, and a Prefecture Lord who oversees the whole situation and maintains the safety of the Ancient Domain."

"Whether you are the chief or deputy Prefecture Lord, your responsibilities are heavy, and you must not be negligent!"

"Among them, there are five deputy Prefecture Lord, divided into the Eastern Guard, Southern Guard, Western Guard, North Guard, and Central Guard. Currently, the Northern Guard Deputy Prefecture Lord is vacant, and you will be the Northern Guard Deputy Prefecture Lord next."

Lin Yi nodded, then asked curiously, "Master, what kind of guard are you?"

Wu Shi said expressionlessly, "Central Guard is the head of the five guards, stationed in the center of Ancient Domain Tong Pass Prefecture. If the Prefecture Lord is in seclusion, I can temporarily assume the Prefecture Lord's authority."

"Impressive. What are the duties of the Northern Guard Deputy Prefecture Lord on a daily basis?"

"The North Guard governs the three Tongguan Prefecture in the north. If there is a crisis at the border Tong Pass and the Garrison Commander cannot resolve it, the deputy Prefecture Lord will need to step in. Also, if there are people practicing demonic arts in the northern Ancient Domain, the North Guard may send people to arrest them..."

Wu Shi then recounted several responsibilities and duties belonging to the Northern Guard Deputy Prefecture Lord.

There's quite a bit of work to be done.

Lin Yi raised an eyebrow and asked, "So, you mean I have people under my command now? How many Martial Saint do you have?"

Wu Shi laughed and said, "The previous Northern Guard Deputy Prefecture Lord was from the Qian Family. Do you think they would leave anyone for you?"

"How can I do the work by myself?"

"That's your own business."

Lin Yi suddenly realized that the Northern Guard Deputy Prefecture Lord wasn't as fragrant as he had imagined.

After all, he impersonated Qin Jian only to infiltrate the upper echelons of the Ancient Domain.

If Northern Guard Deputy Prefecture Lord, it would clearly be a losing proposition.

He had no interest in hunting down Demonic Cultivator or guarding Northern Three Domains Tong Pass.

Even if we recruited a group of Martial Saint to work for us, it would probably be very troublesome.

Lin Yi spread his hands and said, "Master, you know my identity. I'm already so busy over there that I don't even have time to cultivate. If I become the Northern Guard Deputy Prefecture Lord, wouldn't I have to travel back and forth all the time?"

"Why don't you just give me that Secret Realm Slot? As for the position of deputy Prefecture Lord, I'll talk to the Qian Family again. We can split the proceeds fifty-fifty, and you definitely won't suffer a loss!"

Seeing Lin Yi hold up five fingers, indicating that he not only wanted to quit but also give up his position at the Huanmen Office, Wu Shi laughed out of anger.

He had also figured out Lin Yi's temperament, so it wasn't surprising.

"I told you before, the position of Deputy Prefecture Lord of Tong Pass is not as easy as you think. It requires a sense of responsibility to the Ancient Domain. Now I have told everyone that the position of Deputy Prefecture Lord is yours, so you have to take it whether you want to or not. Otherwise, I will slap you to death."

Wu Shi didn't waste Wu Shi words with Lin Yi. He raised his palm, and a special Domain spread out, instantly freezing the space in the entire study. Lin Yi felt that even breathing was difficult.

Lin Yi's eyes widened.

Goodness, he didn't feel this deadly pressure from either Qian Hengsheng or Tai Shang Liangbai.

So, what level of skill does this cheap master possess?

Could it be that he has already entered the Martial Saint Nine Realms?

And what Domain Domain this fixed space?

"No! I didn't say it was inappropriate, but when you make a donkey pull a millstone, you should at least get some compensation. I heard that the deputy Prefecture Lord of Tong Pass can access the Tong Pass Treasury."

"You can enter the Treasure Vault, but I have one request."

"You said?"

"In your position, you must fulfill your duties. From now on, the North Guard Tong Pass are in your hands. If I find out that you do not take your responsibilities as Deputy Prefecture Lord seriously, I will personally skin you alive."

"Don't worry, as long as the offer is right, I'm willing to work 996."

Wu Shi didn't know what Lin Yi meant by "996" and was too lazy to ask any further.

He then handed the Jade Token in his hand to Lin Yi, who was kneeling.

The Jade Token is small and exquisite, a special Martial Dao Spirit Treasure, with the Twelve Tong Passes patterns on it, radiating a milky white luster.

"Drip your blood to acknowledge me. From now on, you will be the Northern Guard Deputy Prefecture Lord of the Tong Pass Northern Guard!"

"My blood, or Qin Jian's?"

"Use your own!"

Lin Yi understood immediately, so he didn't take out Qin Jian's blood again, but instead dripped the blood from his fingertip onto the Jade Token.

In an instant, the Identity Jade Token vibrated incessantly, and then a large amount of inherited information flowed into Lin Yi Yi's mind.

This information includes the complete Treasure Combination Art, techniques for controlling the Tongguan Treasure, as well as the corresponding duties of the Northern Guard Deputy Prefecture Lord and the specific usage of the Jade Token.

The information was quite disorganized and Lin Yi would need to sort it out later.

At that moment, a message was transmitted from the Jade Token tablet.

An unnamed, gruff voice chuckled, "Brother Wushi, the new deputy Prefecture Lord of Tong Pass in the North Guard has been appointed. Who is it?"

"Haha, I heard that after that old man from the Qian Family stepped down, Qian Family tried to push a younger generation into the position. I wonder if they succeeded..."

"Given Brother Wushi's cunning, he probably won't let the Qian Family have their way. After all, Tongguan Prefecture needs some of the younger generation's blood..."

The three voice messages sounded like they came from three different people.

Lin Yi was taken aback. This Jade Token Spirit Treasure was interesting; it seemed to be a long-distance chat group, allowing communication with other deputy Prefecture Lord of Tong Pass.
