Lingzhen sat in the lower seat in the main headquarters of Longyuan Realm, and this did not reflect his position as the deputy commander of the Cloud Ranks. That seat was placed slightly lower than the central seating position inside the tent, at a distance that made him appear like an ordinary officer waiting for orders, not someone who was supposed to hold the responsibility of acting commander. Moreover, since the commander of the Cloud Ranks had died, he should have been seated in the main chair replacing his commander, not in the lower seat like an ordinary soldier. This inconsistency became even more obvious because there were only two people inside the tent, making the difference in seating impossible to hide behind the presence of anyone else. In the main chair sat a middle-aged man who sat calmly. That chair was placed exactly at the front, perfectly aligned to face Lingzhen, making its authoritative line point directly at him without any obstruction. The man’s steady post

At first, Lingzhen had only sent a message to the Cosmos Ranks army. Only that division had the strength to fight members of the Demon Cult. He thought that report would only be responded to by one of the deputy commanders of the Cosmos Ranks. Lingzhen had never imagined that this tent would receive the arrival of a figure who stood at the peak of the command chain. However, the name of the Demon Cult was too heavy. The one who came was not merely a deputy commander of the Cosmos Ranks, but the highest deputy general himself. A deputy warlord of the Hundun Realm. A figure who only appeared in the most dangerous situations across the entire Hundun Realm. A figure who usually stayed far at the highest command line, not descending directly to branch headquarters like this. “Lingzhen, from whom did you obtain the information that the Demon Cult was riding on the forces of the Quemo Realm? And also that Puyanghai was a member of the Demon Cult?” “Reporting, the one who made the report w

“Lingzhen, I knew that child, I was even the one who gave him his first uniform! He was indeed talented, but he could only compete among the Star Ranks soldiers. Do not speak of important information like this, he was not even worthy to compete with the Cloud Ranks soldiers!” The tone was not a belittling one, but like someone who had decided something long ago. The deputy general felt mocked by Lingzhen. He thought the source of the report came directly from Lingzhen, or from a high-ranking soldier of the Cloud Ranks. It turned out the report came from a little kid who came from the weakest division in the entire Hundun Realm army. Such a thought made the deputy general’s gaze grow even sharper. Lingzhen felt the pressure, not because he was deemed incompetent, but because the magnitude of the report he delivered contradicted the deputy general’s assessment of Xiao Tian. In another situation, he might have silenced himself, but this command concerned the security of the Hundun Real

The soldiers who stood guard at the headquarters exchanged glances, they could not hear the contents of the conversation between the deputy commander of the Cloud Ranks and the deputy general. They only felt the pressure that appeared and disappeared, without knowing what had triggered it. However, the aura that had always made them sweat was now gone. With that aura dissipated, some soldiers held long breaths, as if their lungs had only just begun working normally again. Some of them leaned part of their weight on their spears or the weapons they held, making sure their legs were still strong enough to support them. The sense of relief struck them all at once, although they still did not understand what had truly happened inside the main tent. “What exactly did the deputy commander report? I really almost died from the deputy warlord’s aura.” One of the soldiers spoke in a still-gasping tone, showing that the pressure earlier had nearly killed him. Sweat still trickled down his te

“Lingzhen, approach him, and assign him to assist your troops who are currently stationed at the most critical point. And remember, the task given is not a mission to heal or merely help with small matters. But a mission to fight on the front line!” “Deputy General, I understood.” Lingzhen immediately descended from the emptiness toward Xiao Tian’s location. He wanted very much to slap the deputy general’s face with proof, that Xiao Tian was truly reliable. And that he was not considered to have given a false report. In his heart, he had already gathered various scenes he had witnessed himself about that young man, ready to be used as answers if anyone doubted Xiao Tian’s ability. Xiao Tian, who was still overseeing his troops’ training, stood up, he felt an aura he already recognized. Without having to turn his head, he knew who was approaching him. Before Lingzhen was visible, Xiao Tian had already clasped his hands. “Senior, it seemed there was something important for senior to

Xiao Tian’s troops, who usually cowered immediately when witnessing fierce battles, were now different. Their bodies stood straight, their eyes looked toward the battlefield without trying to avoid it. They were instead very enthusiastic. Their gazes were filled with determination, not impulsive decisions, but the result of harsh training that allowed them to fight against their natural instinct of fear. Their faces showed that they were already prepared to go down, not only to follow orders, but to prove that they were worthy of standing on this line. Xiao Tian smiled at them. The smile was not too wide, but enough for his troops to know that he acknowledged their transformation. “I look forward to your achievements. However, remember. You must protect one another, so that none of your comrades die in battle.” “Fourth deputy commander, we understood!” they answered in unison. “Do not be too excited, we are still far away. We do not know what the strength of the enemy troops is li
1287
Xiao Tian snorted coldly. He did not feel the need to restrain himself just because of the status that Shangguan Yueyu flaunted. “On what basis should I thank you?” “I stopped you so that you would not throw your life away for nothing. It is better for you to help us handle the wounded. Remember, you are only a Star Ranks soldier, so do not act like a Cloud Ranks soldier.” Those words directly placed Xiao Tian and his troops in a lower position in the eyes of the other soldiers. Some Cloud Ranks soldiers who heard it found the statement reasonable, because all this time, from what they knew, the Star Ranks had never been placed alongside them on the front line. Just as Shangguan Yueyu finished speaking, she became even more overshadowed. Not by Xiao Tian, but by Situ Yu. Situ Yu kept digging his ear with his finger, he was not looking at Shangguan Yueyu, but at his friends. His movements were relaxed, not showing at all that he was standing in the middle of tension between command

Xiao Tian only shook his head, then drove his ship forward again to head immediately toward the front line. The ship’s movement returned to stability after having stopped briefly, showing that Xiao Tian had no intention of prolonging the problem that had just occurred. However, he was stopped again, this time by a Cloud Ranks soldier, not a Star Ranks soldier assigned to help there. The soldier stood exactly in the ship’s path, his posture firm, clearly showing that he did not dare allow the ship to pass without certainty. Xiao Tian did not argue with that man, unlike when facing Shangguan Yueyu, he immediately handed over the assignment letter from Lingzhen. The soldier read everything, and it was indeed an authentic assignment letter, because all the writing in the letter carried Lingzhen’s aura. The soldier’s expression immediately changed into one of great caution, and unconsciously he lowered his head slightly out of respect. His gaze no longer judged, but calculated, realizin

Xiao Tian looked at his troops. “It seemed you still could not participate in battle, none of the enemy troops had the realm of Immortal God. All of them already had the realm of Immortal God Emperor, so they were not your opponents.” His gaze observed their faces one by one, seeing how many of them held back frustration. He could see how the passion that had burned brightly before was now restrained, not extinguished, but forced to wait. Ding Wu and the others clenched their fists, they had trained very hard, and were already eager to show the results of their training. Yet once again they had to watch, and that truly made them uncomfortable. They looked ahead as if seeing a thick wall blocking their ambition. In their chests there was a push to advance, but in their minds there was the understanding that the difference in realm between them and the enemy would turn them into obstacles, not help. Situ Yu smiled slightly. “You do not need to be sad, there will be a time when you can

When Situ Yu arrived at the front line, he was stopped by a tall man. The man stood firmly in the middle of the advance path, as if blocking not only the steps but also the intentions of anyone who wanted to enter the core battle area. His realm was not low, he had the cultivation of a Supreme God Emperor rank thirteen, and had raised his realm to rank fifteen. The pressure from his body was clearly felt, indicating that he was not someone who stepped onto the front line for the first time. Around them, the air of the front line was filled with the booming sounds of war from afar, making this encounter feel even more like an inseparable part of the ongoing battlefield. The tall man glared at Situ Yu. His gaze traveled up and down, as if measuring the worth of someone who dared to walk alone into a region shaken by war. “Who allowed you to move to the front line? This was real war, not the children’s games usually done by soldiers of the Star ranks!” His voice echoed loudly, sweeping
