God of Pets

Chapter 554 Ziyang Legion
When you feel sleepy, someone brings you a pillow.

After Bai Xiuyan, Nan Zilan, and a group of Tianyang cavalry retrieved the heads of the Black and White Impermanence couple, they buried them in a secret and secluded place. No tombstone was erected; their graves were simply placed in the mountains facing the direction of Tianyang City.

Even if the demons return in the future, they won't know that this is the place where the Black and White Impermanence couple are buried, and no one will disturb them.

This is the place they guarded. If we bury them here, they wouldn't object if they were alive.

"Commander Zi, please lead us on this journey from now on. We are willing to follow you to the death to fight the demons." After paying respects to the Black and White Impermanence couple, Nan Zilan and the group of Tianyang cavalry suddenly saluted Chen Guan, and Nan Zilan spoke on behalf of everyone.

Everyone's eyes were filled with anticipation.

They were already free of any attachments, and only hoped to kill more demons.

Following those other big families, or even the ancestral temple, was too stifling; nothing beats the exhilaration of following Chen Guan.

If they wanted to continue killing demons, they had no choice but to follow Chen Guan; there was no other option.

Moreover, they now regard Chen Guan as a god of war and are used to Teng Mingli's command style. They would probably not be able to adapt to an ordinary army.

Furthermore, Chen Guan distributed most of the spoils to them. With such character and ability, and being no fool, how could they not seize the opportunity?

"You can follow me, but I have three rules. You must abide by these rules to follow me. Otherwise, it's better if you go your separate ways," Chen Guan said calmly, showing no willingness to accept their loyalty just because they wanted to pledge allegiance to him.

“Commander Zi, we will abide by all your rules,” Nan Zilan said.

"Don't rush to agree, listen first." Chen Guan interrupted the others who wanted to pledge their loyalty, and then continued, "First, if you want to be my soldier, you must absolutely obey my orders. You cannot question my orders in any way, even if my orders seem wrong, you must do your best to carry them out and not disobey."

“Military orders are as firm as mountains, that’s how it should be. We can all abide by this first rule. If anyone disobeys orders, you don’t need to lift a finger, Commander Zi; I’ll clean up your ranks first.” After Nan Zilan finished speaking, everyone responded in unison.

"The second rule is that any of my generals who fight against the demons will die rather than surrender. If anyone surrenders to the demons and becomes a traitor, he will be executed to the ends of the earth," Chen Guan said in a deep voice.

"To the ends of the earth...we will surely punish them..." Nan Zilan and the others shouted in unison. This was exactly what everyone wanted to hear. They were the people who hated the demons the most, so how could they surrender to the demons?

"The third rule is that if you find a better place to go in the future, as long as you don't go to the demons, you can leave at any time. I won't force you to stay..." Chen Guan said halfway through, but seeing that they were getting excited, he waved his hand to stop them from speaking.

"Let me finish speaking. There is no banquet that doesn't end. When you get old, or have a wife and children, or feel that life is meaningless and want to live a normal life, it is understandable that you want to leave."

"This is just a journey in your lives, not the end of your lives, because sooner or later it will all come to an end, so I don't mind if you leave."

"But there should be etiquette and decorum when leaving the table. If someone picks up their bowl to eat and then puts it down to curse, then don't blame me for cleaning up the house."

"Rest assured, Commander Zi, we are definitely not such treacherous and wicked people," Nan Zilan said, raising her hand in a vow.

The cavalrymen also took an oath together, and Chen Guan finally had his own army.

Although the corps currently only has 356 people, it is undoubtedly a very good start for Chen Guan.

We already have more than 300 soldiers, so how far away are 30,000 soldiers and 300,000 soldiers?
After discussion among several people, the new corps was named the Ziyang Corps. Zi refers to the purple from the east, and Yang refers to the Yang from Tianyang City.

Chen Guan appointed Nan Zilan as deputy corps commander and Teng Mingli as commander.

As for Bai Xiuyan, he was not actually a member of the Ziyang Corps.

Although Chen Guan wanted to recruit Bai Xiuyan into the Ziyang Corps, people like Bai Xiuyan are like dandelions dancing in the wind; they won't stay in one place, nor will they confine themselves to one person.

Chen Guan could understand Bai Xiuyan, so he wasn't surprised that Bai Xiuyan didn't choose to join the Ziyang Corps.

During the inventory of Tianyang City's warehouse, a batch of blue ore was discovered. The ore was fluorescent and seemed to have strong radiation.

At first, no one recognized what kind of ore it was, so it was just piled up in the warehouse and no one dared to touch it.

Chen Guan summoned Mingfei to take a look. She recognized the ore as "Illusionary Spirit Stone," a material used to refine Illusionary Spirit Iron. This material was considered a very high-grade cave ore, usually used to forge city defense shields.

This stuff must be sold by the gram, and one gram can fetch at least thirty yuan. This warehouse full of Illusionary Spirit Stones must weigh tons, but a conservative estimate would be over a thousand tons. Its value is immeasurable.

Mingfei estimated that these Illusionary Spirit Stones were probably brought by demons to modify the defensive shield of Tianyang City, and by a large extent.

It's possible that construction hadn't even started yet when Tianyang City was captured, and these Illusionary Spirit Stones ended up here.

Chen Guan was considering whether to continue using the Illusionary Spirit Stones to modify the defensive shield of Tianyang City, but then he realized that he had no experts or skilled workers in this field, and even if he wanted to modify it, he wouldn't know where to start.

Moreover, whether Tianyang City can be defended is also an unknown.

Moreover, activating the defensive shield requires a large amount of vital energy, which usually requires a large number of cultivators to output. Where would he find so many people to maintain the vital energy shield?
Even if all his men stayed here to maintain the defensive shield instead of fighting, it would still be a drop in the ocean.

"Let's try and see if the Evil Spirit Blood Sword can absorb the energy of these Illusionary Spirit Stones." Chen Guan summoned the Evil Spirit Blood Sword to see if it was interested in the Illusionary Spirit Stones.

Just as Chen Guan had predicted, after breaching Tianyang City and killing so many demons and pets, as well as Mo Qianpo, the paper doll had successfully advanced to level 30, but had not broken through.

Most of Chen Guan's pets are currently available but waiting for an opportunity to break through; only the Evil Spirit Blood Sword can be upgraded normally.

After the Evil Spirit Blood Sword emerged, it excitedly plunged into the Illusionary Spirit Stone, seemingly very fond of it.

"Eat up, eat more, level up quickly, I'll need you in the future." Chen Guan felt that if he had enough resources, he could directly upgrade the Evil Spirit Blood Sword to level 60, which would be equivalent to having a top-tier fighter with six awakenings.

As the Illusionary Spirit Stone pierced by the Evil Spirit Blood Sword gradually faded and turned into a pile of slag, Chen Guan felt that this time it should be a sure thing, and the level of the Evil Spirit Blood Sword would definitely be greatly improved.

"Commander Zi, a man claiming to be Mr. Xiao is requesting an audience. He says the city lord of Taishan City sent him to convey important intelligence to you," the guard reported from outside the door.
