Chapter 580 The New Person in Charge
Lin Zhao declined You Shen's invitation to share some snacks with her and join in the fun. She coughed twice to separate the two of them.

Upon seeing Lin Zhao in a black cloak, Feng Chenlan quickly stood up straight and said, "Master Lin, you've come at the right time. Tell me about this matter. How do I, Feng, now hold the position of leader of the Western District Legion?"

Lin Zhao knew that these two old fogies could talk about this for a long time: "The Jiang clan and the Third Prince should have given a reply by now, right? This matter is not up to the legion to decide internally; it needs to be reported to higher authorities."

Of course, if the Western District Legion reaches a consensus, the higher-ups won't refuse.

But since no consensus can be reached, why not just hand it over to the higher-ups to make a decision?
Feng Chenlan and Bai Qingtian exchanged a glance and then fell silent.

Lin Zhao took out a pill from his pocket and handed it to Bai Qingtian: "General Bai, this is a Life-Giving Pill. It can advance a cultivator below the Tribulation Transcending stage by one level. It should have the same effect as the pill you took before, but the effect of that pill was to deplete the root of the deficiency, while the Life-Giving Pill is not. After you take this Life-Giving Pill, you will not advance again, but you will truly achieve the effect that the previous pill was meant to achieve, helping you to completely stabilize at the Great Perfection of the Integration stage, and at the same time restore your previous foundation state. However, each person can only take one of these pills in their lifetime."

Upon hearing about the effects of the Life-Giving Pill, Bai Qingtian, Feng Chenlan, and the Fire Python Army leader couldn't help but ask, "Is this a Grade Nine pill?"

All three of them were powerful individuals at the Nascent Soul stage or above, so they naturally knew how much this kind of pill could help cultivators. At least for their families and levels, this was the first time they had ever heard of a pill that could directly and effortlessly advance a cultivator to the Integration stage.

The effect was absolutely terrifying.

Faced with the three people's astonishment, Lin Zhao pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "It's a relatively high-grade pill among the ninth rank, and it's the highest-grade pill that I can currently refine with my alchemy skills."

Bai Qingtian carefully accepted the pill, and couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement when he thought about the age of the person in front of him.

At such a young age, he must be both an alchemist and a spirit talisman master. What kind of enemy did the Qing Dynasty force itself into this situation?

Lin Zhao looked at Feng Chenlan: "General Feng, have you already reported the entire situation of the Western District Legion? Let's see what the higher-ups say?"

Feng Chenlan quickly took out the Heavenly Mirror, and after reading the final decision of the General Clan, he smiled and said, "The Third Prince has ordered that General Bai be appointed as the new leader of the Western District Legion. The Western District Legion will begin its operations one month later."

Lin Zhao nodded; this was within expectations.

Feng Chenlan's current cultivation level is definitely not enough to suppress these few Nascent Soul stage cultivators from the Western District Legion. If Bai Qingtian hadn't arrived, Lin Zhao might have tried to help Feng Chenlan suppress these new Nascent Soul stage cultivators, but with Bai Qingtian around, there's no need to worry too much.

From the Third Prince's perspective, Bai Qingtian was once the leader of the three legions of the Qing Dynasty. Giving the order to wait a month before letting the Western Legion take action was to see how Bai Qingtian and the new Western Legion performed during that month.

Lin Zhao looked at You Shen, somewhat puzzled as to why this kid was alone with the legion's high-ranking officers.

Seeing that Lin Zhao had finally noticed You Shen, Feng Chenlan immediately said, "I called You Shen here. His sister, Zhao Lin, has been missing for some reason. Aren't they your juniors? So..."

Lin Zhao: "..."

She paused for a moment, realizing that there was no need to keep the identity of Zhao Lin after the war between dynasties, before taking off the hat on her head to reveal her true face.

"General Feng, I am Zhao Lin."

Faced with a face that bore a five or six-point resemblance to Zhao Lin, but with a more aloof and sacred air, Feng Chenlan fell silent.

Lin Zhao said, "I have offended you by concealing my identity before, please forgive me, General."

Upon hearing Lin Zhao's words, Feng Chenlan nearly fainted.

He recalled his previous criticisms and evaluations of Zhao Lin, and his face burned with embarrassment.

The main reason was that he never expected a powerful cultivator in the Integration stage to be able to act so subservient to him, a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, for so long, and to remain silent even after being reprimanded by him to his face several times.

Blame him? If it weren't for Lin Zhao, not only would his legion be in grave danger, but his entire family would be doomed. He certainly wouldn't blame him. But it's impossible to say there was no reaction.

So Feng Chenlan stood there, seemingly without any change in expression, but in reality, he had been gone for a while.

However, he was a stubborn person who had never acted against his conscience. So after spending a long time adjusting to the change in identity, he didn't feel too unbalanced and said, "If Master Lin is Zhao Lin, then what about You Shen?"

He hadn't forgotten that this kid spent all his time rolling around in the mud with the bastards in his regiment, and had been locked up as a troublemaker several times.

“He’s not my brother either. You Shen’s cultivation is a bit stronger than mine.”

If she wasn't mistaken, the true cultivation level of You Shen's clone had already reached the Tribulation Transcending stage.

The leader of the Fire Python Army, who was vying with You Shen for the dried fish, fell silent as he looked at You Shen, whose methods of plunder were despicable but whose manners were undeniably more elegant than his own.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, You Shen stuffed the dried fish into his pocket. In that instant, You Shen made Lin Zhao hallucinate the golden bud.

Feng Chenlan's mindset, which he had finally managed to adjust thanks to Lin Zhao, was starting to falter again. After bidding farewell to his newly promoted superior, his figure appeared somewhat desolate.

Bai Qingtian was somewhat worried about his new subordinate who shared his temperament: "Master Lin, General Feng, he..."

He was somewhat worried that he would lose his position as person in charge, and that Lin Zhao would give Feng Chenlan two more identities to provoke her, which Feng Chenlan might not be able to handle.

Lin Zhao sat down next to You Shen, took the dried fish he handed her, and told Bai Qingtian that it was no problem. She said, "Oh, he didn't want to be the leader of a legion for a long time. I heard from Sister Hui that General Feng wanted to spend more time with Aunt Nan. He should be going back to see Aunt Nan now."

Bai Qingtian: "..."

The leader of the Fire Python Army clicked his tongue and said, "Old Bai, you too, haven't found a wife for your brothers all these years."

Bai Qingtian said, "It's like you've found me a sister-in-law."

The leaders of their legion had no powerful families in the Qing Dynasty, and the female cultivators with real influence in the Qing Dynasty looked down on them. They had been on the battlefield for years, and they must have had lovers, but it was rare for a wife like Feng Chenlan to stay with her legion. So, for various reasons, they could not stay together for long.

Caught off guard by the rebuttal, the Fire Python Army leader remained silent, then sighed, "Master Lin, give me a straight answer: is the Qin side trustworthy?"

Lin Zhao said, "My words don't count. Why don't you two, General Bai and General, experience it for yourselves? If you can't believe me, and you want to leave the Great Qin, I, Lin, am willing to do my part for you two generals."

The other party sighed, "That's not what I meant. I'm just a little scared knowing about Lao Bai's situation."

Actually, he was against that matter back then, and he also had that pill in his possession, but the emperor didn't watch him take it.

For a cultivator who still wants to advance in their cultivation, cutting off their hopes for advancement is tantamount to cutting off their future.

The decisions made by the Qing emperor back then were enough to disappoint them, and his current actions are even more disheartening.

Since Bai Qingtian and the Fire Python Army leader had already spoken to this extent, they no longer held back from Lin Zhao and You Shen. Bai Qingtian said directly, "If the Imperial Dynasty is truly untrustworthy, then take the brothers back to the Immortal Sect."

With their level of cultivation, they wouldn't be without a place to go.

The leader of the Fire Python Army nodded.

After they finished explaining their plans, Lin Zhao said, "Generals, I have a question for you."
