Vote Request!] 436: Chapter 157: The Decurion’s Little Privilege [Triple Update!

Vote Request!] Before rising to announce the imperial order, Elder Tianli summoned over a thousand celestial soldiers in Dong’an City, even calling upon the celestial officials from the Supervisory Office.

The main spectacle was to create an impressive display, with the whole city basked in glory.

Dong’an City truly buzzed with excitement for half a day.

After announcing the decree, Elder Tianli laughingly invited Li Dazhi to step aside for a chat.

Although every fiber of Li Dazhi’s being resisted, he couldn’t withstand Elder Tianli’s powers at the peak of the Golden Immortal’s Great Perfection, and was dragged to a desolate island in the East Sea to become better acquainted.

With this plaque, all the elders, servants, and disciples of Wanyun Sect were greatly excited.

From ancient times to the present, no sect had ever heard of being granted a character by His Majesty the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan.

They hurriedly framed those four characters, “Inherit the Past, Usher in the Future”, with the most precious minerals available, and even Daoist Kongming along with a group of Heavenly Immortals rushed to Dong’an City to ensure the plaque was safely delivered back to the sect.

From this day forth, within the realms of the Human Race, no one would dare offend the gate of Wanyun Sect!

This is the value of the four characters “Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan”.

After the great fire at Yuan Sect, the shadows that loomed over Wanyun Sect were swept away; the Wanyun Sect’s treasure shops also seized this opportunity to hold a grand appreciation event.

Li Dazhi would certainly use this occasion to write a few words, to overshadow the prominence of Forge-Heaven Gate.

While some rejoiced, others naturally worried.

Li Ping’an sat behind the desk, looking at the military command token and the celestial soldier uniform in front of him, along with two Storage Treasures, momentarily at a loss for words.

Ten Squad Leader!

What a sight, the leader of a small squad with no more than ten people under his command!

The Yellow Emperor said to let him get more grass-roots level experience, but is this how?

He really only wanted to slack off in the various departments of the alliance headquarters, but how did it come to this!

The ancestral masters and elders of the sect were already escorting the plaque back to the sect, leaving the disciples of Wanyun Sect in Dong’an City celebrating everywhere.

Li Ping’an had no desire to join in this sect-wide revelry.

The excitement and noise belonged to them, while loneliness and solitude were his alone…

Knock knock.

A knock on the door came from aside.

Li Ping’an called for them to enter, and three figures filed in.

The visitors were Wei Yanzi, Gao Xu, and Xinhuai Wang, all acquaintances of his.

The three outer sect elders had discussed and simultaneously bowed to offer their greetings:

“Congratulations, Elder Ping’an!”

Li Ping’an’s mouth twitched slightly, and he replied irritably, “Congratulate me for what?

For being a third-grade squad leader of ten?”

“Hahaha!”

Wei Yanzi was the closest to Li Ping’an and now couldn’t help but bend over with laughter:

“This is certainly unheard of, unseen!

But don’t worry, Ping’an, within ten days, this matter will be the talk of everywhere in the East Continent!”

“Actually, this is not a good thing.”

Gao Xu, the earnest servant, said in a low voice:

“Ping’an is a third-grade Inspector, and by rights, if he went to the army, he should at least be a full General, one who can command an army of fifty to sixty thousand soldiers.

“If this gets out, I’m afraid people might gossip, saying that Ping’an’s rank is high while his position is low, and that he is not favored by His Majesty.”

Xinhuai Wang laughed and said, “You are mistaken, Elder Gao, think again.”

“Think about what?” Gao Xu looked puzzled.

“Please take a seat, Wen Ling, serve the tea.”

“Coming!”

Wen Ling brought the tea over briskly.

Little White Tiger, who had been lounging on her head, eyed the people in the room and, as Wen Ling approached Li Ping’an, deftly jumped onto the table, sitting like a plump white cat.

Li Ping’an raised his hand to pat Little White Tiger’s head, and the creature crawled in front of him, lying at the edge of the table, enjoying being stroked by its owner.

Wen Ling set down the tea, giving Little White Tiger a knowing look.

Little White Tiger shifted its head to one side and looked at Wen Ling with eyes narrowed to slits, its expression seeming to say:

‘You can’t stay here, but it’s different for me.’

Wen Ling rolled her eyes and left with the tray.

Gao Xu finally caught on and looked up at Li Ping’an, earnestly saying:

“I understand now, this is a squad leader sealed by His Majesty himself, with special privileges!”

“It’s not about having special privileges or not, any position personally decreed by His Majesty comes with special privileges!”

Wei Yanzi almost fell off his seat, saying helplessly:

“The military position is just incidental.

“It’s because our dear Ping’an hasn’t become an immortal yet.

The army values cultivation above all, and without high cultivation, no matter how clever one’s strategies, one can only serve as an advisor without rank.

“A leader of the army must be abundant in martial virtue!

This has been a rule of our Human Race since ancient times.”

Xinhuai Wang said, “Elder Gao, think about it, who gave Ping’an his rank as a third-grade Inspector before, and who has sealed this Inspector now?”

“The alliance…

it’s here!”

Gao Xu’s eyes gleamed:

“The decree came directly from Emperor Xuanyuan himself, which practically means that Ping’an’s position as a third-grade Inspector is now set in stone!

“Unless His Majesty retracts his decree, even the Alliance Hierarch can’t dismiss Ping’an’s office!”

“Exactly.”

Wei Yanzi laughed:

“Now the only thing is, our Ping’an is an official personally rewarded by Emperor Xuanyuan, which is extremely rare within the alliance, so now when he acts within the alliance, he needn’t regard anyone’s feelings…

“But this title of squad leader of ten, it’s really too low.”

Li Ping’an smiled, took up his tea, moistened his throat, and spoke calmly, “Let it be a squad leader of ten then.

My squad leader position is a bit special; I can recruit troops and purchase horses on my own.”

“Oh?”

Wei Yanzi’s spirits lifted, “Is there really such a thing?”

“Senior Tianli said so, and that’s not all, I also have this thing.”

Li Ping’an took out a command token that shone with golden light.

On the front was inscribed the characters ‘Xuanyuan’, and on the back was a treasure sword that seemed ready to soar through the heavens.

That was the shadow of Xuanyuan Sword, the treasure of the Human Race!

This token was imbued with brilliant sword intent, unique to the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan.
