Trump Card of the Dragon Pool Nine Luminaries Division
The Great Sheng Dynasty, northern Xianjing Continent.
Longtan Grand Commandery, Mingzhou Prefecture.
This place is absolutely prosperous and thriving. It is one of the most powerful cities in Longtan Grand Commandery, and its scale is truly astonishing.
After leaving the Star Skiff Port.
Following Mu Jingtai's instructions, Ye Li altered the official seal at the customs office, thus successfully entering the newly arrived city of Dasheng and heading towards the Nine Luminaries Division branch, a landmark building in the area.
I couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Without the guidance of the spirit of Mu Jingtai, a local, he probably wouldn't have been able to even enter the airspace surrounding Dasheng. He would have been detained by the Dasheng Sky Observation Department as soon as he saw the Imperial Qi.
Fortunately, the [Bloodline Clone] technique, a secret technique passed down by the Mu family, is extremely difficult to master. In addition, Mu Jingtai is very enthusiastic about the Taiqing Dao Tablet, which has created the current convenience.
Although Mu Jingtai's anxiety is understandable given the scale of the legacy left by the Skeletal Elder.
If Mu Jingtai and the other man hadn't come to Shenzhou to put pressure on him, he wouldn't have felt so guilty coming to Dasheng; he could have just come in openly and honestly.
Everything is relative.
"..."
After passing through the streets, we arrived at the magnificent Nine Luminaries Division branch.
The area is filled with tall buildings, and under the sunlight, they look even more impressive than the Heavenly Supervision Department in some other places.
Countless Yao Xuan Envoy clad in inkfish-patterned robes came and went, all of them possessing True Person levels at least at the Divine Connection Realm, clearly elite generals of the Dragon Pool Nine Luminaries Division.
Among them are True Lord with the cultivation level of the Creation Realm... If they were placed within the Divine Continent, they would be terrifying beings capable of overthrowing any force.
However, the force deployed here is merely the garrison power of a prefecture, and is not yet complete.
As expected of Dasheng...
Ye Li withdrew his gaze. Just from the crowd gathered at the entrance, it was obvious how busy Prefect Lin had been lately.
According to Mu Jingtai's spirit, because the prefectural governor's mansion was surrounded by a huge crowd today, Prefect Lin moved to the Nine Luminaries Division to work, hoping to use his prestige here to intimidate the group of guests from the prefecture who were more clingy than little shadows.
In retrospect, the effect has been minimal.
It's not surprising that a new broom sweeps clean when taking office, creating such a scene.
Fortunately, given his current special status, the probability of him receiving a special audience is still quite high.
Calm your mind.
Ye Li stepped through the crowd, first briefly explaining his purpose to the guards at the gate, and then handing over the letter personally written by Ying Potian that he was carrying in his bosom:
"I have important business to discuss with the Prefect."
Letters involving diplomatic matters usually do not encounter much resistance, and the guards will not make things too difficult for them.
After all, once this kind of thing escalates, the charges against the perpetrators can be truly limitless.
Sure enough, upon seeing the genuine seal on the letter, the guards at the door immediately became serious.
Trouble wait here for a moment.
After saying this, he whispered something to another guard, then turned and strode into the Nine Luminaries Division.
Before the time it takes to drink a cup of tea was up, the guard returned.
"Come with me."
Amidst the envious gazes of the waiting crowd, he handed the cyan Token granting temporary passage to Ye Li, then turned and walked back into the gate.
Thank you.
Ye Li breathed a sigh of relief. This result was roughly what he had expected. Compared to insignificant external envoys, alien envoys carried more weight.
Put away the Token.
Amidst a multitude of different gazes, he entered this strategically important military location, a symbol of absolute authority within the Longtan Grand Commandery.
Within the Nine Luminaries Division, numerous civil officials were organizing documents and handling affairs in government offices across various regions.
Led by the guards, Ye Li soon arrived at a uniquely designed mansion.
"The Prefect is waiting for you inside. You may go in now."
The guards stopped at the bottom of the bluestone steps and stepped aside to let them pass.
Ye Li nodded slightly and began to ascend the steps.
Behind the table in the main hall, a tall, elderly man dressed in a red court robe sat upright, flipping through the opened letter from China.
His gray hair was combed meticulously, and the jade seal in front of him was also neatly arranged.
"Ye Li, right?"
When the young man in the purple Daoist Robe arrived at the hall, he finally put away the letter, looked up, and asked softly:
"The Creation Realm?"
"The Great Void Realm." Ye Li was already used to the feeling of information not keeping up with his own cultivation level.
"... Indeed, it possesses the aura of a saint."
Lin Huaijin's gaze swept over the young man for a fleeting moment, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes before he quickly smoothed it out.
He merely nodded slightly in approval and said:
"Your talent is quite impressive. To be able to advance to the Great Void in the Supreme Pure Divine Continent, with such cultivation, you should indeed come to my Great Sheng to see the world."
"I heard from your Lord Ying that you also resolved the Demonic Calamity beyond the borders of the Northern Continent."
"That wolf demon hasn't even reached the Great Void yet, and you're only a new Saint, so dealing with it shouldn't be too difficult."
He tapped his fingers lightly on the table, extending an olive branch to the young man. "How about it, would you be willing to work for my Dragon Pool Nine Luminaries Division?"
He has just been promoted to prefect and is currently short of capable subordinates.
This saint from the divine continent, with a clean background and transparent origins, is indeed quite suitable.
No wonder Ying Potian specifically recommended him for this position.
Unfortunately, while his cultivation at the initial stage of the Great Void Realm would certainly qualify him as a top-tier expert in Longtan Grand Commandery, it was rather ordinary in his eyes.
However, this did not prevent him from giving the Divine Sage before him a chance.
"Can."
Hearing Ye Li's calm reply, the straightforward old man raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but remind him:
"Think it over before you speak. Although I intend to recruit you into the Nine Luminaries Division, I will not show you any favoritism in any way, nor will I arrange a position for you to receive a salary without working."
"Resources are plentiful here; it all depends on whether you have the corresponding military merits. Don't think that my Dragon Pool Nine Luminaries Division is a place with plenty of lucrative opportunities and little work."
"On the contrary, for a rogue saint like you who has just come from outside, many things here are more dangerous than you think..."
"It's alright."
With the legacy of the skeleton in hand, Ye Li now has very little need for cultivation resources.
What he needed was the intelligence files of the Nine Luminaries Division, and a channel to take action against the Taicang Mu Family without being investigated.
Therefore, there's nothing to hesitate about.
He hoped the danger here would be as great as possible. "As long as it doesn't turn into a situation where I dare to do it, but you don't dare to follow."
"..."
Lin Huaijin gave the young man below the hall a deep look and said calmly, "As long as it benefits the people of Longtan Grand Commandery, there is nothing I dare not do."
Honestly, he didn't expect the other party to be so arrogant.
However, it's not hard to understand.
With his cultivation level, the young man would likely find no rivals within the Divine Continent, so it's perfectly normal for him to look down on everyone.
It's just normal, that's all.
Such a mentality is absolutely fatal to the Yao Xuan Envoy of the Nine Luminaries Division.
My initial assumption was correct; the other party does indeed need some time to process things...
Lin Huaijin looked down at the other person's overly youthful face, and could only sense absolute confidence and composure.
After a moment, he finally made up his mind.
Then the old man slowly spoke:
"The Yao Xuan Envoy of the Dragon Pool Nine Luminaries Division are all in groups of five. Among them, there is a team whose strength is considered outstanding. A few years ago, when they were besieging a Great Demon in the Great Void Realm, one of them was unfortunately killed."
"Due to their formidable strength, few can meet their reinforcement needs, so there are only four of them to date."
"But even though there are only four of them, they are still considered one of the trump cards of the Dragon Pool Nine Luminaries Division."
As he spoke, a long-forgotten iron plaque appeared in his palm, which he tossed directly to Ye Li below, his tone full of meaning.
"From today onwards, you are one of them."
