Breaking through five realms in a single day, a god among men!

Only one hour.

The Lava God of War, Xuanyuan Zhu, has also arrived.

He held the appointment document and wore a black official robe with five mythical beasts, and was even a captain.

Gu Lin understood immediately.

This involves first applying for a transfer to the East Temple in Chuzhou, accepting a demotion of five ranks, and then receiving the rewards from the Demon Slayer Ranking and the Boundary Stone Ranking.

The Lava God of War respectfully clasped his hands in greeting:

"Lord Gu, I swear to follow you to the death!"

This was his decision.

Most of the former top-ranked experts chose to go to the Western Sky Domain Holy Land and then travel to various dynasties through teleportation arrays, such as Tuoba Gu and others.

But in his opinion, following Gu Lin would lead to a brighter future!

Gu Lin nodded:

"I will never betray your loyalty!"

Half an hour later, Shennong Que arrived. At this time, Shennong Que was only the head of the East Temple. He had first been demoted to the lowest-ranking cavalry, and then promoted two ranks based on his fourth place on the Boundary Stone Ranking.

Shennong Que described the state of the Shennong Dance:

"My sister has also gone to the Western Dome Domain. She's going to venture into those dynasties that specialize in Gu cultivation, to break through the limits of the Void Aperture, and to comprehend the miraculous art of Gu refining!"

"My grandfather took her there; my grandfather was also a garrison commander."

Gu Lin nodded.

In fact, Shennongwu's talent in Gu Dao is really strong. Perhaps in those wondrous places that specialize in Gu Dao, she will have her own opportunities.

The last two to arrive were Sword Master Wu Di, who was also a captain, and Wei Zai, the Nine Yang Holy Body, who had been demoted to the lowest-ranking elite cavalry.

Nowadays, Gu Lin's team is quite formidable.

Xiao Mu, a five-striped centurion!

The two commanders, Xuanyuan Zhu and Wu Di!

Shennong Magpie, the squad leader!

Wei Zai, Flower Girl, Wind Girl, Mute, Folding Fan, Iron Fist!

These people are enough to keep around.

Gu Lin went to the yamen of the knife-wielding man alone.

"Jingming!"

Upon seeing their son, Gu Changchuan and Zhou Man were overjoyed. Zhou Man rushed forward and hugged her son, tears streaming down her face. She didn't care how high her son flew; she only wanted him to be safe and sound.

Gu Changchuan's eyes were red-rimmed. "Now he's a marquis with a fief of 3,600 households, a thousand households!"

He felt both proud and deeply moved by his son's hardships.

Gu Lin said with a smile:

"Father and Mother, you will live in the Marquis's Mansion in the Holy City from now on. I will arrange for members of the Holy Land to escort you to the Holy State, which is the core prosperous area of ​​the Feathered Dynasty."

He paused slightly, his expression serious:

"Your son has left home and traveled far and wide, unable to be by your side to fulfill his filial duties. While you are still young, you can have another child to bring more joy and laughter to your home."

"My son's journey is far away, in a very, very far place, in a higher holy land, in a vast and boundless world of spiritual practice."

"Just as I said that year, I want to make a name for myself, I want the world to listen to my voice in silence."

Gu Changchuan, with tears in his eyes, shook his head and said:

"Jingming, having you as my child is enough!"

Gu Lin didn't say anything more and dined with his parents.

He receives a monthly salary, and now that he has been promoted to a thousand-household commander, he receives six top-grade spirit stones a month, equivalent to six thousand low-grade spirit stones. In the future, he will have the Holy Land send them to the Marquis's mansion, which will be enough for his parents to enjoy wealth and honor.

After leaving the yamen of the quack doctor, Gu Lin summoned Hua Nu and Feng Nu, and ordered in a deep voice:

"Immediately order a thousand members of the Holy Land to investigate the Sima clan. Arrest them first, then investigate their crimes! If one person commits a crime, implicate the entire family!"

........

Ten days later.

Xiao Mu returned excitedly to report back.

"Seven years ago, Sima Yan, a centurion of the Martial Peak Hall, used his power to erase evidence in order to cover up the corruption and bribery of Sima Li, a sixth-rank official. I found the old case files and have confirmed his guilt!"

"Sima Qu, a centurion of the Tianxuan Guard, has an uncle who has committed numerous evils. Beneath the flowerbed of his mansion, there were piles of white bones. After severe torture, it was discovered that his uncle cultivated an evil Yin Sha technique that required him to devour the flesh and blood of other cultivators. This technique was given to his uncle by Sima Qu! As a centurion of the Holy Land, he not only turned a blind eye to his uncle's evil deeds but also secretly assisted him. He is utterly lawless!"

After speaking, he handed over the evidence of his crimes.

After reading it, Gu Lin felt extremely regretful. If he had been able to defeat those two centurions before the underground cave, he would already be a three-patterned thousand-household commander!

"How did you conduct your investigation?" Gu Lin asked curiously.

Xiao Mu smiled knowingly:

"I'll use your name, I'll spread the word that Lord Gu's blade is aimed directly at the Sima family, and anyone who provides information will be richly rewarded!"

"Your reputation is so great in Chuzhou that it's practically worshipped as a god. Upon hearing this, many people rushed to report you, and even those cultivators who feared the power of the sixth-rank aristocratic families dared to stand up."

Gu Lin suddenly realized.

This is the convenience that fame and power bring.

Without the trip to the underground cave, if I were still just a low-ranking officer, I still wouldn't have been able to find evidence of the crimes committed by the two officers of the Sima family, because I simply couldn't find anyone who knew the truth.

But now, an insider has come forward to tell us.

It's a pity I can't get promoted!

"You bastard, you're really lucky!" Gu Lin glanced at Xiao Mu sideways.

Xiao Mu smiled broadly and then went to arrest the person.

Gu Lin looked at Xuan Yuanzhu, Wu Di, and the others, and said in a deep voice:

"When a whale falls, all things come to life! The Sima family has several officials of the fourth and fifth ranks. You must quickly investigate their crimes and use this opportunity to promote them."

......

The knife-wielder was in prison.

The two former centurions were now imprisoned, disheveled and unkempt, their former glory completely gone.

Footsteps echoed down the corridor.

A man in a bright red official robe walked slowly towards them.

"Gu Lin, you beast!" Sima Yan and Sima Qu lowered their heads and shouted hoarsely, their voices filled with boundless hatred.

Sima Yan, his heart pounding with hatred and on the verge of madness, cried out:

"Hahahaha, the so-called heroes of the Divine Dynasty, the number one prodigy, are nothing but a petty and vindictive scoundrel!"

Gu Lin smiled:

"If I don't retaliate when I'm in power, what's the point of being in power? Wouldn't I just be oppressed for nothing?"

"I just joined the Holy Land, and your Sima family is so arrogant and wants to kill me. If I hadn't had some ability and relied on Cao Qingzhi's power, and won the championship, I would probably have been reduced to ashes by you long ago."

"What's wrong? The once arrogant Commander Sima, now you're bowing your head, afraid to look me in the eye?"

Sima Yan and Sima Qu trembled with rage, yet they dared not raise their heads, fearing their gaze.

Seeing this, the Flower Girl, Wind Girl, and the others were beaming with joy.

Where did your arrogant attitude go? Where did your haughty demeanor and tendency to come knocking on doors to question others go?

Now they don't even dare to lift their heads!

Gu Lin said calmly:

"I am a kind-hearted person, so I let all of you Sima clan members die together!"

His tone turned grim after he finished speaking:

"Destroy the Sima clan of Changliu Mountain! What a load of rubbish, a sixth-rank aristocratic family! They even razed their ancestral land to the ground!"

"Yes, sir!" The crowd clasped their hands in obeisance.

A quarter of an hour later, Mount Luoxia was thrown into turmoil. A thousand members of the Holy Land rode their horses at breakneck speed and reached the mountainside, where three thousand sword-wielding men followed in an orderly fashion.

A figure in bright red, commanding four thousand men, swept across the land, kicking up clouds of dust.
