The lowest threshold of the Embroidered Uniform Guard was the seventh level of the Nascent Soul Stage.
For a time, he became the laughingstock of the entire Imperial City, as they all felt that the Embroidered Uniform Guard's Commander, Duan Lingtian, was indulging in fantasy …
How could an existence at the seventh level of the Nascent Soul Stage or above be someone he could recruit as he pleased!
At dusk, a red glow filled the sky.
Imperial City, City Guard Army campsite.
At the campsite's entrance, 13 tall horses stood still, then 13 figures flipped over and descended from the horses.
These 13 people wore uniform attire, Flying Fish Robes!
On their waists hung a command token and a narrow and long saber, the Embroidered Spring Saber!
Amongst the 13 people, there was a youth in the lead.
A trace of immaturity could be vaguely seen on the youth's face.
It could be discerned that the youth was about to step into the age of 19 and become a young man.
"Who are you people?"
10 armored soldiers stood at the entrance of the City Guard Army campsite, guarding both sides as they glared fiercely at the 13 people that were approaching.
"Presumptuous!"
The youth in the lead grunted coldly, then his cold and indifferent gaze swept past the 10 City Guard Army soldiers, then he ignored them and directly walked into the City Guard Army campsite.
"You all …."
One of the City Guard Army soldiers took a step forward, wanting to stop the youth.
However, he was pulled back by one of the people beside him.
"What are you doing? Didn't you see someone trespass into our City Guard Army campsite? "
The former frowned.
"Are you mad? Didn't you see their command tokens? They're the Embroidered Uniform Guard! "
The latter took a deep breath, and a trace of terror was mixed between his brows.
"What?! Embroidered Uniform Guard? Isn't the lowest threshold of the Embroidered Uniform Guard the seventh level of the Nascent Soul Stage? Could it be that someone really joined the Embroidered Uniform Guard? "
"Who knows …. If I'm not wrong, then the youth in the lead ought to be the Embroidered Uniform Guard's Commander, Duan Lingtian."
"The existence of the Embroidered Uniform Guards is approved by His Majesty the Emperor. Commander Duan is also His Majesty the Emperor's spokesperson. Not to mention us, even the Lord Commander of the City Guard would be afraid of him."
...
Duan Lingtian walked into the City Guard Army campsite and directly headed towards the central tent.
Wherever he passed, the city guards would make way for him.
Duan Lingtian took the lead, followed closely by the two old men, and behind them were ten middle-aged men.
Zhang Qian and Zhao Gang were among them.
Early in the morning, Duan Lingtian made a trip to the Divine Might Marquis Estate and broke away from his fate of being a commander by himself.
He took ten people with him from the Divine Might Marquis Estate. Including Zhang Qian and Zhao Gang, the current Embroidered Uniform Guard, including him, had a total of thirteen people.
"Lord Commander, the Embroidered Uniform Guards … the Embroidered Uniform Guards are here!"
A figure rushed into the tent in the center of the city guard's camp and hurriedly reported.
"What?!"
The expression of the City Guard Commander, Xue Lu, slightly changed. "How many of them came?"
"Including Commander Duan, a total of 13 people."
The person who came in continued.
"Thirteen people? In other words, besides him, there were 12 existences at the seventh level of the Nascent Soul Stage or above? The Divine Might Marquis is really generous, to actually cooperate with that little bastard like this … Right, the Divine Might Marquis was the good friend of that little bastard's father, Duan Rufeng, after all. "
Xue Lu's face sank as he said to the person who came in. "Go notify the other Captains and call out all the brothers that stayed in the camp … I want to let that little bastard know that my City Guard Army's camp isn't a place where he can behave atrociously!"
"Yes."
The person who came in received his orders and left.
"Duan Lingtian, you're really lucky! Even the Nascent Soul Stage martial artist I sent out wasn't able to take your life … But, since you dare bring people to my City Guard Army's camp to behave atrociously, I'll make it so that all of you won't be able to return! "
Xue Lu's eyes flickered with traces of frightening cold lights.
Outside.
Duan Ling Tian arrived at the vicinity of the central tent and stopped moving.
The 12 people behind him stopped as well.
Meanwhile, the soldiers that stayed behind in the City Guard Army's camp dashed over. For a time, the ground trembled, as if the earth was moving and the mountains were swaying.
The group of City Guard Army soldiers surrounded Duan Lingtian's group tightly like buckets, causing them to have no place to escape.
Before long, Duan Lingtian saw Xue Lu once again.
Xue Lu walked over in large strides, his face filled with a bloodthirsty smile. "Duan Lingtian, I never imagined that you'd actually take the initiative to deliver yourself to me … Outside, you have the identity of the Embroidered Uniform Guard Commander, so I might have some misgivings if I wanted to kill you. But now that you've innocently trespassed into my City Guard Army's camp, even if I kill you, I presume his Majesty wouldn't blame me. "
Duan Lingtian never imagined that Xue Lu would threaten to kill him as soon as he appeared.
Looks like he really made the right choice in coming today!
"Xue Lu, you're still as arrogant as last time … Didn't you say I would surely die last time? Aren't I still alive and well now? "
The corners of Duan Lingtian's mouth curled into a mocking smile when faced with Xue Lu's provocation.
"You!"
Xue Lu's face sank. "If it wasn't for your Duan Clan's Grand Elder appearing last time, you would already be a corpse at that time! But today is the same … I have to say, you've really surprised me. You set the threshold for the Embroidered Uniform Guard so high, yet the Divine Might Marquis actually still gave you 12 people. "
"You know they were people the Divine Might Marquis gave me?"
Duan Lingtian was slightly surprised.
"Hmph! What I know has exceeded your imagination. "
Xue Lu sneered.
"Commander Xue, I came here today mainly because I wanted to talk to you about what happened five months ago … The person you sent to kill me has already died in the wilderness. I came here today to collect the debt, and I'm not greedy. You just have to give me 10 million silver as compensation for suppressing the shock. How about it? "
Duan Lingtian's eyes narrowed as he stared at Xue Lu and slowly spoke.
Duan Lingtian's words entered into the ears of the surrounding City Guard Army soldiers, causing them to be dumbstruck.
10 million silver is still not greedy?
Is this Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Duan Lingtian, joking?!
"Duan Lingtian, looks like you already know …"
Xue Lu's gaze went slightly cold. "You have some ability to actually pry open my people's mouths."
"What? Commander Xue, you admit it?"
Duan Lingtian asked with a smile.
"So what if I admit it?"
Xue Lu sneered as his eyes emitted a bone-piercing coldness.
"Then quickly hand over the compensation for suppressing the shock, and I'll take my brothers to have a good drink."
The corners of Duan Lingtian's mouth curled into a trace of a deep smile.
"You still want compensation for suppressing the shock?"
Xue Lu laughed, laughing insolently, laughing without the slightest scruple. "Duan Lingtian, you seem to have not figured out the situation, right? Could it be that you think the people you brought can go against my City Guard Army's thousands of officers and soldiers? Let me tell you, every single one of us here can drown you with a mouthful of saliva! "
"Looks like Commander Xue is very confident."
Duan Lingtian's expression was calm, but his eyes flickered with mischief.
"Hmph! Duan Lingtian, don't think that just because you have the title of Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, you're really someone … Let me tell you, in front of me, you're nothing! "
Xue Lu stretched out his hand and pointed at Duan Lingtian's nose, his saliva flying everywhere as he spoke in a condescending tone.
Duan Lingtian's expression turned cold.
Whether it was in his previous life or this life, what he hated the most was people pointing at his nose and lecturing him.
Once, there was a mercenary from Country M's most outstanding SEALs. Because he pointed at his nose and said a bunch of nonsense, his head exploded with a punch, and he was directly blasted to death!
"Kill him!"
Just as Duan Lingtian's killing intent soared to the heavens, Duan Lingtian's voice rang out, incomparably cold.
"Kill me?"
Xue Lu laughed, his face full of ridicule and disdain.
However, in next to no time, his smile froze.
Because his head had already separated from his body …
Bang!
Pillars of blood sprayed out, and most of the City Guard soldiers present didn't even have the time to react before they noticed that their Commander's head had already separated from his body.
In the next moment, they saw.
In the process of the old man standing behind Duan Lingtian withdrawing his narrow saber, droplets of blood sprinkled beneath his feet …
Whereas those Chiliarchs in the City Guard army all stared blankly at the old man with faces full of disbelief.
They only saw the old man transform into an afterimage, and didn't even have the time to clearly see exactly how many ancient mammoth silhouettes appeared above the old man before their Commander was killed.
They were extremely sure that this old man was at least an existence at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Stage …
His strength was absolutely not inferior to their Commander!
Because of the sneak attack, he was able to succeed with a single strike.
"Hmph!"
Duan Lingtian snorted coldly, then slowly turned around with the 12 Embroidered Uniform Guards behind him, then walked out of the campsite with large strides.
Wherever he passed, the soldiers of the City Guard would make way for him.
Now that their Commander was dead, they naturally wouldn't foolishly charge forward to give their lives away.
The people brought by this Embroidered Uniform Guard Commander weren't only at the seventh level of the Nascent Soul Stage, and there was no lack of ninth level Nascent Soul Stage experts amongst them …
In terms of strength, a ninth level Nascent Soul Stage martial artist could become a Commander in any army of the Crimson Sky Kingdom.
However, now they were willing to follow behind this Embroidered Uniform Guard Commander and serve him.
After walking out of the City Guard Army campsite, Duan Lingtian mounted his horse and a trace of a smile appeared on his face …
This feeling was indeed extremely satisfying!
Today, he really had a good time.
If someone knew what Duan Lingtian was thinking, it was unknown what expression they would have.
Right when Duan Lingtian brought his 12 subordinates back to the Embroidered Uniform Guard's campsite.
A shocking piece of news spread out from the City Guard Army campsite and instantly swept through the entire Imperial City …
The Embroidered Uniform Guard's Commander, Duan Lingtian, brought along 12 Embroidered Uniform Guards to charge into the City Guard Army campsite and kill the City Guard Army Commander, Xue Lu, before leaving unhurriedly.
This piece of news caused many people who didn't look favorably upon the Embroidered Uniform Guard and secretly ridiculed the Embroidered Uniform Guard's Commander, Duan Lingtian, to be a lone commander, to be completely dumbstruck.
"The threshold for the Embroidered Uniform Guard is so high, yet they're still able to recruit 12 people?"
"12 existences at the seventh level of the Nascent Soul Stage or above … This group of Embroidered Uniform Guards is simply an elite group, the representative of quality over quantity!"
"I heard that the person that killed the City Guard Army Commander, Xue Lu, was only an Embroidered Uniform Guard under Commander Duan's command … He only used a single strike to kill Commander Xue Lu!"
"I heard of it as well. According to my estimations, the strength of that Embroidered Uniform Guard is surely a figure at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Stage. "
