Chapter 048 Not Falling the Imperial Flag
"Alright, let me say a few words. In my opinion, the two elders must be looking to ally with Yang Chen; otherwise, they wouldn't have made a pledge. If you still want to follow two Dou Wang powerhouses or attach yourselves to a medium-sized Yongbing group, now is the best opportunity."
"Exactly, what we want is a force we can rely on, right? We only chose to ally with the Fengxing Yongbing group because they had two Dou Huang powerhouses. Now that Huang Bo is dead, we should reconsider."
"Yes, good birds choose their trees to perch on; good ministers choose their lords to serve. I'm going." With that, he immediately joined the battle.
"We're going too." "Alright, we're all going." Watching this scene, Yang Chen coldly said, "Warriors also have their own helplessness; behind the glory, there are always some unspoken hardships."
"Jiang Nan, go help them out. No need to hold back." Yang Chen said helplessly. Jiang Nan understood that Yang Chen intended to kill all 93 of them and spare the remaining 70.
"Understood, leader." Five minutes later, those who were meant to die were dead, and those who were not did not perish. At this moment, everyone fell silent. Everyone in the Fengxing Yongbing group quietly awaited Yang Chen's orders.
"Zhou Zheng, Li Yu, I know what you're thinking. Now I give you an opportunity; are you willing to go?" Yang Chen instructed.
"Please speak, leader." Zhou Zheng replied.
"The Ying Sha Yongbing group has three main camps: Tian Sha, Po Jun, and Bloodthirsty. Do you know why I haven't led a team? This question is also directed at you." Yang Chen looked at the members of the Ying Sha Yongbing group.
"Is it because they lack cultivation?" Li Yu guessed.
"Lack of cultivation? The deputy camp leader of Tian Sha is my woman; would a Dou Huang lack cultivation? The camp leader of Tian Sha, Lu Ying, is now a Nine Star Dou Ling and will advance to Dou Wang in less than three months. Moreover, she can compete with One Star Dou Wang without losing. The camp leader of Po Jun, Zhang Tian... If they aren't enough, are you?"
"This... this..." Li Yu was momentarily speechless. After a brief silence, Eagle Tian Yi spoke eight words: "Train troops on the battlefield; hunt in the Central Plains." Hearing these words, everyone gasped in surprise; only Jiang Nan and Yang Chen nodded in appreciation.
Jiang Nan nodded because he also guessed Yang Chen's thoughts and believed this was the ambition a man should have and that Yang Chen dared to try. Yang Chen nodded because after following for so long, there were still people who understood his intentions.
"I am now preparing to establish a personal guard camp that requires a total of 100 members. Then we will head to the border battlefield connecting the Jia Shi Dynasty and Heavenly Continent. We will grow amidst life and death; no matter what methods you use, in ten years' time, I want you to infiltrate the internal affairs of the Heavenly Continent's Ying Feng Dynasty!"
"Report to the leader: I, Zhou Zheng of the Fengxing Yongbing group, am willing to lead my 70 subordinates to join the Ying Sha Yongbing group and apply to join your personal guard camp." Zhou Zheng respectfully stated. He knew that from the moment he killed those from the Fengxing Yongbing group, he had already made his pledge. With others assisting him during that time, they had become one entity. Now joining the Ying Sha Yongbing group seemed only natural to everyone.
"Good! Then I will not move against any of you. From now on, you are the guards of my personal army, Yang Chen's Elite Guard - Not Falling the Imperial Flag," Yang Chen said solemnly.
"We still need thirty more people. I wonder who else is willing to join?" The captains of each battalion then selected ten from their subordinates.
Thus, Yang Chen's Elite Guard - Not Falling the Imperial Flag was finally established, and he became the leader of Not Falling the Imperial Flag, Imperial Flag!
"From now on, you report directly to me, Yang Chen. You will only obey my orders; any tokens or insignias are useless to you. Do you understand?" Yang Chen snorted coldly.
"We understand."
"Good, Zhou Zheng and Li Yu, step forward," Yang Chen commanded.
"At your command," the two respectfully stepped forward and knelt on one knee.
"I appoint Zhou Zheng as the Commander of Not Falling the Imperial Flag and Li Yu as the Deputy Commander. Your mission is to find every possible way to infiltrate the Shadow Wind Dynasty within ten years. Do you understand?"
"Understood, Commander Zhou Zheng (Deputy Commander Li Yu), we obey."
"Alright, you may rise. Now everyone take a moment to rest. Tomorrow, we will attack the lair of the Mad Cow," Yang Chen instructed.
"Yes, Chief."
"Members of the Breaking Army, go five hundred meters away and dig a large pit to bury these brothers' bodies. The members of my Shadow Kill Yongbing team should be given a proper burial. After returning to the city, each family of the fallen brothers will receive ten purple gold coins. Additionally, their belongings should be returned to them."
"Yes, Chief." The members of the Breaking Army dispersed, fully aware of what Yang Chen intended to do.
"Second Legion Commander, after returning to the city, secretly search for orphans for me and cultivate the next generation for my Shadow Kill Yongbing team. At the same time, all battalions must teach them with full effort. Is that clear?" Yang Chen said.
"Yes, Chief."
"Still cautious and far-sighted in thought," Eagle Tian Yi said to Li Mu.
"Zhuque, Zheng Gang, Jiang Liang, step forward," Yang Chen said.
"We?" Zhuque was taken aback, and then the three of them stepped forward and spoke.
"At your service."
"Zhuque, Eighteenth Princess of the Huangzhou Celestial Star Empire, and also the Emperor's most beloved little princess. Am I wrong?" Yang Chen smiled slightly, looking at Zhuque's terrified expression.
"How did you figure that out?" Zhuque said in surprise.
"Zhuque, a direct descendant of the ancient southern phoenix. Moreover, the fire attribute energy in your body is exceptionally pure. It's not that your cultivation is high; rather, you possess a rich bloodline of fire attributes. You must either be a transformed magical beast or have fused with the blood of a magical beast. The first scenario clearly does not apply. In the second scenario, in today's world, there are not many ninth-tier fire attribute magical beasts, but the only one that can be associated with humans is the Huangzhou guardian beast—the Phoenix. You are the Emperor's most cherished little princess, and it is said that on the day you were born, auspicious signs appeared in the sky and lotus flowers bloomed from the earth. At the same time, the guardian beast Phoenix descended from heaven to personally bestow upon you your name—Zhuque—and activated the sacred beast bloodline within you. Because of this, the concentration of fire attributes in your body is extremely high, making cultivation exceptionally difficult. That is why after eighteen years, you have only reached the Eight-Star Dou Wang realm. Now that you are here, it seems you have found cultivation tedious and unprogressive, so you sneaked out."
"You... how do you know all this?" Zhuque asked in astonishment.
"It's nothing much," Yang Chen said with a smile. After speaking, he ignored Zhuque and took two steps forward, raising his voice: "Senior, I've said so much. I wonder if Senior would honor me with an appearance?"
The sky was silent; no one spoke.
"Is Senior unwilling to come out? Are you afraid to meet me? Or do you look down on me?" Yang Chen said again.
"Enough, enough. You are quite clever; if you don't show your face today, it seems you won't have good days ahead." As soon as he finished speaking, a figure dressed in a white robe appeared. He had long silver hair and a long beard. However, no matter how one looked at him, he did not seem like a martial artist; there was not a trace of fighting energy emanating from him.
"I pay my respects to Senior," Yang Chen said as he bent slightly and cupped his hands in greeting.
