County Governor Stunned, Great Sheng Imperial Daughter
News spreads extremely quickly within the territory of Dasheng, and information-related Treasured Artifacts are highly prevalent there.
Newspapers across the Xianjing Continent are vying to report on the grand occasion of the [Sword Master Ceremony].
If it weren't for the fact that the Nine Luminaries Division's prestige in the mortal world was so high, even to the point of stopping children from crying at night in some places, it would be a different story.
It seems that even the official business of the Yushan government will be hampered by those who try to gather information.
At the same time.
Within the territory of the Xianjing Continent, at Dragon Pool Nine Luminaries Division.
In the prefectural governor's hall, Lin Huaijin, upon hearing this, was completely stunned and stood frozen in place. "..."
After a long silence, he finally came to his senses and addressed Chen Chuan, who had come to report the situation:
Say it again.
"Reporting to the Prefect, news has arrived from Yushan Prefecture! The Prefect says that General Ye displayed great prowess within the Sword Sect, personally defeating the renowned Zhou Qingyan with overwhelming force!"
Chen Chuan tried hard to control his emotions, but his voice still carried obvious excitement.
The reason is simple--
Zhou Qingyan! The prestige of this name is ridiculously high!
Who in all twenty-four prefectures of Xianjing does not know the name of this [Lord of Ten Thousand Swords]?
A Sword Dao who rose to fame at a young age! A Dao Evolution Realm Domain Lord with four thousand years of Dao cultivation!
Any one of these feats would be enough to make a saint like him tremble, further proving the formidable reputation he had established in the Xianjing Continent!
It should be noted that the Great Sheng is truly vast, encompassing thirty-six continents, with distances between them exceeding tens of millions of miles.
Therefore, there are very few beings who can subdue the geniuses of the two continents.
Although Zhou Qingyan did not achieve this, the fact that her name was known in several neighboring continents was already an extremely terrifying achievement!
Based on his own Captain Ye's fighting style, to defeat them head-on within the Sword Sect... Chen Chuan felt his heart surge with excitement just from imagining it.
Lin Huaijin's breathing became rapid. He slowly clenched his trembling hand, waved it as calmly as possible, and said:
"I understand, you can go out now."
"Yes!" Chen Chuan quickly bowed and took his leave, eager to inform the three men who were still recovering from their injuries.
I watched him disappear into the prefectural governor's mansion with my own eyes.
Lin Huaijin finally let out a long sigh of relief, his shoulders slumped, feeling somewhat dizzy from the sudden bombshell news.
If I remember correctly, the last time that Sword Master Zhou became famous in the Immortal Realm, he killed a Domain Lord-level Great Demon at the fourth level of the Dao Evolution Realm.
In other words, Zhou Qingyan's combat strength is at least at the fifth level of the Dao Evolution Realm.
But wasn't one of our own lieutenants just advanced to the Dao Transformation stage during the refinement process?
It directly and overwhelmingly crushed it in the sword manual... If it hadn't come from that Prefect Cao, he would have really doubted its authenticity!
That's absolutely outrageous!!
"A recommendation... a recommendation is almost a sure thing!"
After a brief adjustment, Lin Huaijin quickly grasped the current key point.
Logically speaking, the junior officers of the Nine Luminaries Division should not be on the list of those testing their skills in the Sword Manual, as that would be too irregular for their status.
Aside from the interference of factors within the Sword Sect itself, Ye Li's decision to take the field was likely also driven by a desire to make a name for himself as soon as possible.
This kid is really anxious!
Lin Huaijin smiled helplessly. The other party had clearly taken his words to heart and understood the importance of building momentum for him.
That's right!
Since his subordinate generals are all so diligent, he naturally wouldn't cause any trouble at this time.
Lin Huaijin immediately took out a Gilded Jade Slip and activated it without hesitation.
A mysterious connection instantly traversed the vast distance, linking the capital Capital City Dasheng, far away in the distance.
Prefect Cao Ming of the Xianjing Continent was right.
The reason why Lin Huaijin was able to rise to the position of Dragon Pool County and obtain the [Jade Mountain Refinement] quota was only a secondary reason, despite his many years of hard work.
The main reason is that he has the support of a powerful figure in Capital City.
The Third Princess of the Great Sheng Dynasty, Jiang Yingluo, with the title Ling'an.
This princess started her career much later than the other two, so she had very few people and influence within the Capital City that she could win over, and even the most capable people she could trust were few and far between.
Therefore, she could only focus on the situation outside the Capital City and slowly cultivate her own trusted confidants.
Lin Huaijin, a rigid and rule-abiding young man, was one of those newcomers who was noticed and promoted in this way.
The communication was quickly established, but the voice on the other end of the Jade Slip was filled with resentment, as if it were that of a young girl whose peaceful dream had just been disturbed:
"Lin Huaijin, you'd better give me an explanation. I should have specifically emphasized the rules to you before: do not contact me at night without permission unless it is urgent."
"Your subordinate knows his crime!" Lin Huaijin was terrified and quickly cupped his hands to beg for forgiveness.
He was so engrossed in the good news of his lieutenant's triumphant display that he completely forgot it was already late at night!
Fortunately, the Third Princess on the other end of the Jade Slip didn't delve too deeply into the matter. After a few deep breaths, her clear and crisp voice rang out again:
"Speak, what is it?"
"To be honest, do you still remember the new Yao Xuan Envoy that I mentioned before?" Lin Huaijin asked tentatively.
"Don't remember... Hmm? The one from the Great Void Realm?"
Seemingly reminded by someone, the Third Princess finally recalled the matter and asked with some surprise:
"He broke through to the Dao Evolution Realm?"
This is the only plausible explanation, which is indeed surprising.
She remembered that just a few days ago this person was only at the Ninth Rank the Great Void Realm, how could he have broken through to the Domain Lord level in such a short time?
I never really had any hope for Longtan; it was just a side project... Could it really produce someone useful to be at my beck and call?
"Exactly!"
Lin Huaijin's face immediately lit up with joy, and he said, "Not only that, he also won first place in the [Jade Mountain Refinement] competition in the Xianjing Continent! Now he is a well-known lieutenant general who is famous throughout half of the Xianjing Continent!"
"Yesterday, he accompanied the governor of our continent to the Xuanming Sword Sect to participate in the sect's initiation ceremony. He even personally went down into the arena to fight against the new Hall Master, and won a great victory in front of everyone!"
"What is the cultivation level of the Sword Sect Hall Master?" the Third Princess pressed.
"At least at the fifth level of the Dao Evolution Realm!"
Fearing the other party might not believe him, Lin Huaijin replied decisively, "My lieutenant general's Martial Dao foundation is exceptionally profound, the best I have ever seen in my life. Therefore, fighting opponents of higher levels is not difficult for him!"
Upon hearing this, Princess Ling'an said nothing more, but a hint of a smile appeared on her face:
"Very good."
"If what you say is true, this person is indeed a capable individual, and I will certainly not treat him unfairly."
After saying this, he paused for a moment, as if pondering, and then asked, "How old is he? What is his name? Is there still room for him to improve further?"
"His age is likely no more than seven thousand years, his name is Ye Li, and as for his potential for further advancement..."
Lin Huaijin naturally understood how crucial this moment was for the young man, and immediately bowed respectfully, saying, "I would stake my life on it; his future is undoubtedly bright!"
Princess Ling'an was delighted to hear this.
"It just so happens that my Father Emperor has recently urged me to visit [Shiguang Academy]. If he is willing, he can also come to the Capital City academy for further studies for a few years."
She chuckled and said, "In a few days, I will send someone to Longtan to find him. You will be in charge of handling the liaison work then."
"Then I will thank Your Highness on his behalf." Lin Huaijin couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.
Admittedly, given Ye Li's current potential, it wouldn't be difficult for him to gain admission to a prestigious academy for further studies based on his own abilities.
However, there are vast differences between different academies.
The [Shiguang Academy] in the capital of Capital City is one of the two great sacred places, on par with [Yunlu Academy].
Even the domain lord benefited immensely from the opportunities presented.
More importantly, the difference in circumstances and the scope of access between entering the academy alone and entering it with the Third Princess of Dasheng is like heaven and earth!
Putting aside everything else, the resources that the Third Princess slipped through her fingers alone would be more than enough for an ordinary cultivator to enjoy.
Lin Huaijin personally believed that this position would not only be extremely rewarding, but would also be less dangerous to life, and unlike ordinary subordinate generals, he would not have to travel around his territory.
Regardless of whether Ye Li cared about this opportunity or not.
This is already the most help this old man, whose potential has been exhausted, can provide at this stage.
Hopefully, this will satisfy him...
Even after the communication was cut off, the old man's voice echoed in the hall, the smile still lingering within it.
