Chapter 990: Chapter 990 Blue Gold Army

"I know what you’re thinking, you want revenge. When I reach Tianlan Star, I will find a stronghold to establish, and then you can directly use the Transmission Array to come over," Xu Nian said to Xuanyuan Qingling.

Xuanyuan Qingling nodded upon hearing this.

With this arrangement, she had no complaints.

"Then I’m grateful to you for your hard work during this time," Xu Nian said to Xuanyuan Qingling.

"No need to thank me, the Heavenly Court Gang is not solely yours," Xuanyuan Qingling replied indifferently.

She was somewhat displeased with Xu Nian’s gratitude.

Xu Nian smiled awkwardly and said nothing further.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward.

However, at that moment, Wu Gang walked in from outside the hall, looking at Xu Nian with a serious expression.

"Gang Leader, someone has come outside the hall saying they’re here to find you, and they seem extremely strong," Wu Gang said.

The person had given him an overwhelmingly strong feeling; just standing before them felt like he was being overshadowed by a giant mountain.

"Did they mention their identity?" Xu Nian frowned as he asked.

Very few people knew he was here.

Could it be an enemy from the Slaughter Star finding trouble?

If so, that could be big trouble.

"They didn’t say, but I noticed a Blue Gold Sword Radiance embroidered on their chest," Wu Gang replied.

Upon hearing this, Tie Chui and the others immediately had a shocked expression.

"What is Blue Gold Sword Radiance?" Xu Nian asked, puzzled.

"Blue Gold Sword Radiance is the emblem of the Denor Empire, so the visitor is likely from the empire," Wu Gang said with a heavy tone.

"Someone from the Denor Empire?" Now it was Xu Nian’s turn to be surprised.

What’s someone from the Denor Empire doing looking for him?

Regardless, he needed to go out and see.

Seeing everything would reveal the answers.

Xu Nian walked out with large strides.

Soon, he saw a middle-aged man outside the hall.

This middle-aged man was eight feet tall, with a robust and imposing figure.

At the moment, he stood with his back to Xu Nian, hands folded behind.

Just his silhouette exerted immense pressure on Xu Nian.

"An Earth Immortal expert, and not someone like Lin E, clearly at least a Middle Stage or even a Late Stage level," Xu Nian thought to himself.

Though he hadn’t used his Spiritual Sense to probe, just sensing the aura gave him a preliminary idea of the other’s strength.

"I am Xu Nian. I wonder what brings you to my Heavenly Court Gang?" Xu Nian carefully asked while looking at the man’s back.

If the other wanted to kill him, it would likely take just one move.

"So your real name is Xu Nian. Does that mean ’Meteor’ is your codename?" The middle-aged man turned around laughing, revealing a firm face.

His voice was magnetic but lacked authority.

Xu Nian’s pupils shrank instantly, and he became alert.

"No need to worry, I’m not here to cause you trouble. I have come representing the empire, seeking to recruit talent like you," the middle-aged man said with a smile.

He saw through Xu Nian’s thoughts immediately.

Representing the empire?

Not here to cause trouble?

Xu Nian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn’t want to face off against this middle-aged man. He could escape, but if he fled, all his hard work in building the Heavenly Court Gang would be for nothing.

"May I know your esteemed name?" Xu Nian asked respectfully.

"I’m Zhao Yunshen, leader of the Blue Gold Army of the Denor Empire. I’ve come especially for you," the middle-aged man replied.

"Zhao Yunshen? Is he the Spear Immortal Zhao Yunshen?" Tie Chui and others exclaimed while eavesdropping.

Other people also showed shock.

One by one, they looked at Zhao Yunshen with eyes full of awe.

Xu Nian was a bit surprised by this scene.

It seemed Zhao Yunshen’s reputation was quite significant in the Denor Star System!

Even Tie Chui and the others knew of him.

"I dislike small talk, so I’ll get straight to the point. Are you willing to join the Blue Gold Army?" Zhao Yunshen directly asked.

"Join the Blue Gold Army?" Tie Chui and the others were shocked again.

Their leader was invited to join the Blue Gold Army, and it was Zhao Yunshen himself who came to extend the invitation.

What did their leader actually do?

’Meteor’?

This name seemed familiar, but Zhao An couldn’t recall where he’d heard it.

Meanwhile, Xu Nian frowned.

He didn’t want to join any faction because he didn’t want to be tied down.

Empire-level factions likely impose stronger restrictions.

"You seem to be unfamiliar with the Blue Gold Army, so let me explain a bit," Zhao Yunshen said, noticing Xu Nian’s hesitation.

"Thank you, honored one," Xu Nian said, listening quietly rather than refusing outright.

"The Blue Gold Army is the highest-level regiment in our Denor Star System Empire, consisting of only three thousand soldiers, each a genius," Zhao Yunshen explained.

Xu Nian’s pupils widened.

A regiment of three thousand people?

All at the Earth Immortal level?

The thought of it made Xu Nian’s skin crawl.

A three-thousand-strong Earth Immortal army—how terrifying would that be?

But then he thought of the thirty thousand Earth Immortal experts on Slaughter Star and felt more at ease.

After all, for a Star Domain with countless life forms, tens of thousands are hardly significant against such a vast pool.

But this also made Xu Nian think of the Four Great Sects claiming the Four Great Star Regions.

Wasn’t it said the sects had numerous Earth Immortal experts, even over ten thousand?

And firms like Tianbao Pavilion or the mysterious Mu Residence probably hid immense power behind them.

It seemed his understanding was still too shallow; the Cultivation World was far more complex than he imagined.

"Honored one, you say the Blue Gold Army consists of Earth Immortals, but I’m still only in the Early-stage Tribulation Crossing," Xu Nian questioned.

"You must understand that not everyone who crosses the Heavenly Tribulation and becomes an Earth Immortal can become a true Immortal. Some can never convert their Immortal Essence nor temper their Immortal Body, not to mention reuniting their Immortal Palace and gathering their Immortal Soul. Such Earth Immortals can never exceed the Earth Immortal Realm and have no right to join our Blue Gold Army, whereas your performance on Slaughter Star has been reviewed. Your two fields of expertise make you comparable to an Earth Immortal, and despite your current realm still being insufficient, you are well-qualified to join the Blue Gold Army," Zhao Yunshen said.

"But..." Xu Nian started to speak but was interrupted again by Zhao Yunshen.

"I know what worries you—freedom. Rest assured, the empire won’t impose restrictions. People who can join the Blue Gold Army are all genius-level individuals. Without freedom, they wouldn’t even think about joining. The empire won’t interfere with your personal affairs nor restrict your freedom. You only need to lend a hand when the empire faces a crisis, in exchange for access to imperial resources. So, what do you say?" Zhao Yunshen asked, gazing at Xu Nian.

"Boss, quickly promise him; this is an enormous opportunity,"

Before Xu Nian could respond, Tie Chui and others began to clamor.

Xu Nian smiled faintly; truly the eunuch was anxious while the emperor was not.

"Is it truly only during times of imperial crisis that we act?" Xu Nian asked again.

"I, Zhao Yunshen, have always honored my word," Zhao Yunshen glared at Xu Nian and said coldly.

Xu Nian replied with an awkward smile, "Alright, I agree with you."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yunshen finally allowed a trace of a smile to appear.
