Super Martial Era: My Little World

Chapter 341 Deputy Commander of the Cloud Dragon Guard

Inside the Great Yun Empire's main camp.

"Gentlemen, Shen Chengxian has led the army back to the country! Our army has won a great victory in this battle, and you are all great heroes. I will certainly report your achievements to His Majesty. Would you like to return to Yunjing City with me?"

Lord Mingshan glanced at the intelligence in his hand and extended a warm invitation to Yang Lie and other true disciples of the martial arts holy land.

"I came here only to deal with the Heavenly Demon Holy Cult. Now that everything is alright, I'll take my leave!"

Huangpu Qingfeng, with an arrogant expression, turned and left.

Kou Feng, Ning Yingqiong, Gongyang Yingnan, and Monk Yuankong, the four true disciples, all decisively took their leave. They were all proud and arrogant individuals who didn't care about the meager reward from the Emperor of the Great Yun Empire.

The wealth of the royal family of the Great Yun Empire is far less than that of the major martial arts holy lands such as Xianji Cliff. After all, the Great Yun Empire must give 50% of its annual fiscal revenue to the five top martial arts holy lands, and the rest of the fiscal revenue belongs to the Great Yun Empire.

In addition, the five top martial arts holy lands occupy the best spiritual mountains in the Great Yun Empire, and the provinces they are located in are their own spheres of influence, which are equivalent to countries within countries, and the Great Yun Empire has no way to interfere.

The five top martial arts holy lands each possess unique characteristics; they can cultivate all sorts of top-tier natural treasures, many of which are unparalleled rarities not even found in the imperial treasury of the Great Yun Empire. Naturally, the disciples of those five top martial arts holy lands disdain the emperor's rewards.

Yang Lie smiled slightly and said, "If it were someone else who invited me, I would certainly not go. However, I hit it off with Lord Mingshan at first sight. Since Lord Mingshan has invited me, I am naturally willing to go."

Upon hearing this, Ming Shan Gong was extremely pleased. Although he was a Great Martial Saint of the Great Yun Empire, his status was incomparable to that of the true disciples of the five great holy lands, including Gongyang Yingnan. Yang Lie's respect for him naturally made him very happy.

At the command of the Duke of Mingshan, the army returned to the capital.

A luxurious ducal mansion in Yunjing City.

"My lord, you're back! And who are these two?"

As soon as Yang Lie and Duke Mingshan arrived at the mansion, they saw a stunningly beautiful woman, dressed in a pale yellow brocade robe, with her hair styled in a woman's bun, tall, with a full bust and striking beauty, leading dozens of other women to greet them. The leading woman, upon seeing Yang Lie and Qi Lingxian, asked them curiously...

Mingshan Gong smiled and said, "This is Yang Lie, the Great Martial Saint, a true disciple of Xianwailou, and this is his disciple Qi Lingxian. Yang Lie, and this is my wife Lin Minglan."

Yang Lie smiled slightly and said, "Hello, Mrs. Lin!"

Lin Minglan smiled and said, "Hello!"

Mingshan said fairly, "Let's go! Let's talk in the study!"

Yang Lie smiled and said, "Okay!"

The three of them arrived at the study of Duke Mingshan.

Mingshan said fairly, "Yang Lie, are you willing to serve the Great Yun Empire and put your name on the throne? With your strength and status, once you take up a post, you can become a third-rank official, wield great power, and enjoy wealth and honor. With just one order from you, countless people will serve you, and you can change the fate of many people with a single word."

Yang Lie said frankly, "Lord Mingshan, the reason I came down the mountain this time is because a great calamity is about to befall the world. In order to prevent demons and monsters from causing chaos in the human world, I have come to slay demons and monsters and maintain the righteous path. If I really want to serve in the government, I would like to join the Cloud Dragon Guard. This way, I can better obtain intelligence and slay demons and monsters."

The Cloud Dragon Guard is the most powerful intelligence organization in the Great Yun Empire, directly under Emperor Li Renxin of the Great Yun Empire, and is full of experts.

After pondering for a moment, Lord Mingshan said, "The Yunlong Guard holds a low rank but great power. The commander of the Yunlong Guard is only a fourth-rank official. If you want to join the Yunlong Guard, you can only be a fourth-rank official at most!"

Yang Lie smiled and said, "No problem! I don't care about the size of my official position anyway."

Yang Lie came to this world to accumulate strength and find a way to advance to a level comparable to an evil god, so he naturally didn't care much about the size of his official position. Ming Shan said, "I'll go to the palace to meet the Emperor right away! You can rest at my house for a while."

Yang Lie said: "Okay!"

That very evening, the imperial edict appointing Yang Lie as the Deputy Commander of the Yunlong Guard fell into his hands.

The following day, a tall, handsome young man dressed in imperial robes sat on the throne in the Golden Palace of the Great Yun Empire. He was Emperor Li Renxin of the Great Yun Empire.

Below the Golden Palace, in two rows, stood the high-ranking officials of the Great Yun Empire.

Yang Lie entered the main hall and bowed to Li Renxin, saying, "Yang Lie, Deputy Commander of the Cloud Dragon Guard, greets Your Majesty!"

A tall, imposing eunuch named Cao Feng frowned slightly and said, "Yang Lie, when you meet His Majesty, you must kneel and pay your respects! You are being extremely impolite!"

"As far as I know, the true disciples of the five holy lands only bow when they meet His Majesty. Why do they have to kneel when they come to my Immortal Pavilion? Eunuch Cao, do you look down on our Immortal Pavilion?"

With a fierce shout, Yang Lie unleashed a terrifying aura at the Great Martial Saint level, sweeping towards Cao Feng. His aura contained a terrifying dragon's might, and Cao Feng, caught in its grip, trembled violently, his face turning pale, his eyes flashing with fear.

A dozen terrifying pressures at the Great Martial Saint level suddenly surged within the hall, sweeping towards Yang Lie. Yang Lie's dragon might contended with these terrifying pressures, holding its own in the slightest.

Yang Lie was not afraid of the pressure from more than a dozen Great Martial Saints. If he were not worried about the interference of the old monsters in the five great martial arts holy lands, he would be 60 or 70 percent confident in conquering the imperial city of the Great Yun Empire.

Li Renxin said calmly, "Cao Feng, Yang Lie is a true disciple of the Immortal Pavilion and has made great contributions. I hereby grant him special permission to be exempt from worldly formalities."

"Your Majesty, this servant has been disrespectful before the palace and has offended Deputy Commander Yang. Please forgive me. Deputy Commander Yang, this old servant kowtows to you. Please forgive this old servant's offense!"

Cao Feng knelt on the ground, kowtowing and begging repeatedly, showing none of the backbone of a Martial Saint-level expert. He had entered the palace at a young age, and all his temper had long been worn down by the various rules of the palace. Those who were unruly could not survive in the palace at all.

Yang Lie said calmly, "I forgive you!"

"Thank you very much, Deputy Commander Yang!"

Cao Feng then stood up and retreated behind Li Renxin.

After the court assembly, in the Imperial Study.

Li Renxin said slowly, "Yang Lie is an unruly and unruly man, not a good minister!"

Duke Mingshan smiled wryly, "Your Majesty, all the true disciples of the major martial arts holy lands are like this. Yang Lie is already considered one of the better ones!"

"A sacred land of martial arts!!"

A hint of apprehension flashed in Li Renxin's eyes, and he sighed softly, "So be it! Lord Mingshan, you should try to befriend this man. I hope his purpose is truly just to slay demons and eliminate evil!"

Each of the major martial arts holy lands has a powerful figure who has reached the level of Martial God, Great Martial God, or even Human Immortal. The strongest martial artist in the Great Yun Empire is only at the level of Great Martial Saint. They dare not provoke those martial arts holy lands at all.

Duke Mingshan respectfully replied, "Yes, Your Majesty!"
