Chapter 076: The Team Competition
"Get up," Yang Chen said.
"Thank you, Leader." Yang Chen looked at the character 'Centurion' on the emblem of the three-man team and said, "You have only become 'Centurion' now, right? When you followed me back then, you were leading a battalion. Although the number of people is similar, your status has decreased significantly. I called you out today because I want you to do something."
"At your command, we will not refuse," the three said in unison.
"It's not that serious. Tomorrow morning, I will assign some tasks. After you complete them, just go to Silvermoon City and wait for me. I will take you with me; you will advance more quickly," Yang Chen said.
The three immediately understood that Yang Chen was cultivating them.
"Thank you, Leader," they said gratefully. If they continued at their previous cultivation speed, they would eventually be indistinguishable from the crowd. However, if they followed the Leader and relied on the Life Essence he imparted, they would definitely be ahead of others by more than just a step.
"No need to thank me; I consider all of you as brothers, including Lu Ying and Tian Yi. Li Qi, tomorrow I will arrange a separate task for you. You don't need to worry about it; just return to Transverse Mountain Range and inform Zhan Tao about everything here. After they complete their three-month period, they should come directly to Silvermoon City to find me, and you can follow them," Yang Chen instructed.
"Yes, Leader," Li Qi replied respectfully.
"You may leave now and ask Jiang Nan to summon the nine battalion leaders," Yang Chen ordered.
"Yes, Leader."
After the three left, Yang Chen waited quietly again. About twenty minutes later, ten figures appeared before Yang Chen. Eight of them slightly bent at the waist, while Xie Yao and Jiang Nan knelt on one knee respectfully. The ten said in unison, "We pay our respects to Leader." The Hexagram mark could only ensure their loyalty to Yang Chen but could not compel them to show him respect.
"Get up." This was said to the two from Jiangnan.
"Thank you, Leader."
"Two of you are my former comrades. The other eight, I have only heard your names and do not know who corresponds to whom. Please introduce yourselves," Yang Chen said. "No particular order, from left to right."
"I am Danqingzi, Camp Leader of the Shadow Kill Puppet Corps, Bloodthirsty Camp."
"I am Li Jun, Breakthrough Camp Commander of the Shadow Kill Puppet Corps."
"I am Li Zheng, Camp Leader of the Shadow Kill Puppet Corps, Seven Kills Camp."
"I am Xie Yao, Camp Leader of the Shadow Kill Puppet Corps, Heaven Slaughter Camp."
"I am Zhao Long, Camp Leader of the Shadow Kill Puppet Corps, Wuqu Camp."
"I am Li Fu, Camp Leader of the Shadow Kill Puppet Corps, Luzun Camp."
"I am Yang Qian, Camp Leader of the Shadow Kill Puppet Corps, Giant Gate Camp."
"I am He Bin, Camp Leader of the Shadow Kill Puppet Corps, Lianzheng Camp."
"I am Chen Qing, Camp Leader of the Shadow Kill Puppet Corps, Greedy Wolf Camp."
"Yes. I called you all here today to discuss how to take Slaughter City," Yang Chen said.
"Take Slaughter City?" Chen Qing asked.
"We just occupied Loulan City, are we really going to advance on Slaughter City? Isn't that a bit too fast?" Li Zheng said.
"Too fast?" Jiang Nan snorted coldly, "You all probably didn't lift a finger to occupy Loulan City, did you? Now is the time to train our troops! My Shadow Kill Puppet Corps does not recruit any useless people."
"Who are you calling useless?" Li Zheng shouted angrily.
"If you're not useless, then show some results to prove yourself," Xie Yao said.
"Alright! Hmph, Leader, Seven Kills Camp Camp Leader Li Zheng, I request to attack Slaughter City and am willing to be the vanguard," Li Zheng said, bowing slightly and speaking respectfully.
Jiang Nan and Xie Yao exchanged faint smiles.
"Seven Kills Camp leader, if we attack Slaughter City now, it will only result in heavy casualties without any benefits. Why not first hear the opinion of the Third Legion Commander?" Yang Chen said lazily.
Jiang Nan stepped forward and respectfully said, "Leader, I lived in Slaughter City for five years. Although it is very Chaos inside, with constant Slaughter, it is quite organized and divided into nine factions. They are:
Yongbing Guild, Shadow Kill Pavilion, Alchemist Guild, the Lord's Mansion, Refining Qi Guild, Killing Puppet Legion, Yongxiu Alliance, and Wanjin Chamber of Commerce."
"But that's only eight factions," Li Fu inquired.
"The last one is not a faction, but a region," Jiang Nan explained.
"A region?" Danqingzi inquired.
"Yes, a region. Near the South City Gate close to the Wilderness Depths, no humans are allowed to step foot there. At the city gate, there is a mysterious person who sits cross-legged year-round, gazing towards the direction of the Wilderness Depths," Jiang Nan elaborated.
"Wilderness Depths? Perhaps I know who she is now," Yang Chen said.
"The Leader knows? Everyone in Slaughter City is guessing who he is. There was once a Demon Lord who tried to provoke his mystery, but in the end, the mysterious person merely swept with a palm, and that Demon Lord died on the spot. After that, no one dared to step into his region again."
"A Demon Lord only needed one palm?" Yang Qian exclaimed.
"And it was like swatting a fly," Jiang Nan added.
"Are you sure?" He Bin asked.
"It was two years ago; I saw it with my own eyes!" Jiang Nan affirmed.
"When did she appear?" Chen Qing inquired.
"On the fifteenth of August four years ago, during the full moon night," Jiang Nan recounted. "What I remember most clearly is that while everyone in the city was immersed in revelry, suddenly a powerful aura descended upon the city, startling everyone. Under that aura, all the Demon Lords had no power to resist! So we merely labeled him as a Demon Lord. It was only after knowing about that Demon Lord's death that we realized we were all mistaken."
"Fighting Saint Expert!!" Danqingzi exclaimed. The crowd collectively gasped, unable to regain their composure for a long time.
"Slaughter City actually has a Fighting Saint Expert? I really can't imagine," Li Jun said.
"There's nothing we can do; it's a fact," Jiang Nan replied bitterly.
"However, as long as you don't step foot in South City Gate, you won't run into trouble."
"Looking at it another way, that means as long as we get help from this person, we can easily take Slaughter City, right?" Yang Qian remarked.
"That's correct. Unfortunately, in the past four years, I haven't heard of anyone succeeding. Whether out of good intentions or not, the moment you step within five hundred steps of South City Gate, you will be killed. It's already a forbidden zone," Jiang Nan explained.
"Alright, everyone knows what they need to know. Now let's think about how to allocate tasks," Yang Chen said.
"Leader, knowing both ourselves and our enemies ensures victory in every battle. Seven Kills Camp Camp Leader Li Zheng, please order a mission to explore Slaughter City," Li Zheng suggested.
"There's no rush; we'll talk about it later. We still have over two years to plan for Slaughter City. After tomorrow, I will hold a grand competition for the entire team. Everyone at all stages can participate and there will be rewards. From now on, this competition will be held annually on July Seventh," Yang Chen announced.
"A grand competition for the whole team?" everyone asked.
"Yes. The top three from any stage will receive a weapon crafted by Divine Craftsman Tang An. You can participate too. Alright, you may leave now," Yang Chen said.
"Yes, Leader." Everyone responded excitedly; a product from the Divine Craftsman is definitely a treasure.
