"Please calm down, Lord Chiliarch!"
"Please calm down, Lord Chiliarch!"
…
The remaining centurions, including the centurion who was injured by Duan Lingtian, knelt on the ground. They lowered their heads, not daring to look at Duan Lingtian.
At this moment, they couldn't help but curse Jian Qiu Ping in their hearts.
If Jian Qiuping did not say their new captain was only a Violet Moon Heavenly Celestial, they would not have acted so rudely in front of him and offended him.
At the same time, the decurions who had regained their senses followed suit when they saw the centurions kneeling on the ground.
The ordinary soldiers did the same as well.
The centurions and decurions had knelt on the ground. They did not dare to not kneel even if they were given a hundred guts.
For a time, Duan Ling Tian was the only one left standing in the vast sky like a crane among chickens. He was like a high and mighty emperor surrounded by his subjects who were kneeling on the ground like a myriad of stars surrounding the moon.
"Hurmph!"
Duan Lingtian glanced at the kneeling Black Dragon Army soldiers and said indifferently, "I hope there won't be a next time … Now, all of you are dismissed."
As soon as he finished speaking, Duan Lingtian who was in a hurry to return to his tent to cultivate disappeared from the kneeling Black Dragon Army soldiers in just a blink of an eye.
His speed was so fast that it was as though he had vanished into thin air.
After Duan Lingtian left, the Black Dragon Army soldiers finally rose to their feet under the lead of a few centurions.
Most of them still had a lingering expression on their faces.
"We were all tricked by that Chiliarch Jian Qiuping … Our new chiliarch is definitely stronger than him!"
The Centurion who was injured by Duan Ling Tian gnashed his teeth as he spoke hatefully.
Although he was injured by Duan Lingtian, he did not blame Duan Lingtian.
Nevertheless, he did not blame Duan Lingtian at all.
Duan Ling Tian was his direct superior, and Duan Ling Tian was already being merciful by not killing him for being disrespectful to him.
If Jian Qiuping had not deliberately misled him, he would not have dared to act so presumptuously in front of his superior, the new chiliarch, even if he was given a hundred guts.
Meanwhile.
After leaving the Black Dragon Army's tents, Duan Ling Tian returned to his own tent. After he entered his tent, he sat down cross-legged and took out a Mediocre Celestial Stone to cultivate.
Cultivating in the Devata Realms was similar to cultivating in the mundane realms.
Apart from absorbing the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy, one could also absorb Celestial Stones, which were similar to the Saint Stones in the mundane realms.
'As expected of one of the best cultivation environments in Bloody Specter City … With the help of the Mediocre Celestial Stones and the 99 Heavenly Veins in my body, it won't take long for me to break through and become an Indigo Moon Heavenly Celestial!'
After a moment of excitement, Duan Ling Tian once again immersed himself in his cultivation.
The others in the Black Dragon Army were unaware of Duan Lingtian's thoughts.
Otherwise, they would have been shocked by his actions.
As a captain of the Black Dragon Army, his cultivation base was only a Blue Moon Heavenly Celestial?
In the Black Dragon Army, a Blue Moon Heavenly Celestial was the minimum requirement to become a Decanus!
At this moment, Jian Qiu Ping, the captain of the Black Dragon Army, was trying his best to spread the news that Duan Lingtian was only a Violet Moon Heavenly Celestial.
However, he would never have dreamed that …
Duan Lingtian was not a Violet Moon Heavenly Celestial.
Duan Lingtian was merely a Blue Moon Heavenly Celestial!
Even so, Jian Qiuping's efforts to spread the news still shocked the soldiers stationed in the Black Dragon Army's camp.
Of course, that didn't include the 800 Black Dragon Army soldiers under Duan Lingtian.
However, when the 800 soldiers of the Black Dragon Army under Duan Lingtian's command heard that their new captain was only a Violet Moon Heavenly Celestial, they were furious.
"Is it true that our new chiliarch is only a Violet Moon Celestial?"
"Did Jian Qiuping spread the news again?"
"If it's really Jian Qiuping … what is he trying to do?"
"As everyone knows, as long as Qin Yu, the centurion under Jian Qiu Ping, comes out of his closed-door training, Jian Qiu Ping will most likely be replaced by Qin Yu and demoted to a centurion … In my opinion, Jian Qiu Ping wants to shift Qin Yu's spearhead to our Lord Chiliarch."
"Despicable! How despicable! "
…
When the soldiers of the Black Dragon Army under Duan Lingtian's command thought about how Jian Qiuping had tricked them, they were displeased. They began to spread out and refuted Jian Qiuping's words.
Their new captain was not a Violet Moon Heavenly Celestial!
"I, Tong Zheng, am a centurion under Duan Lingtian's command, a Violet Moon Heavenly Celestial … I didn't even have a chance to react before I was injured by Lord Duan Lingtian!"
"If Lord Duan Lingtian is only a Violet Moon Heavenly Celestial, how could he be so strong?"
The centurion who was injured by Duan Ling Tian earlier did not hesitate to reveal his embarrassing incident so that Duan Ling Tian, the new captain, would have a good reputation.
Under the guidance of the soldiers of the Black Dragon Army under Duan Lingtian's command, many people began to believe that Duan Lingtian was not just a Violet Moon Heavenly Celestial. They believed that his strength was on par with Jian Qiuping, the weakest of the ten captains in the Black Dragon Army.
When the news reached Jian Qiuping's ears, his face turned green.
'Those fellows … Do they really think they can keep Duan Lingtian in the Black Dragon Army by spreading fake news?
So what if they think I'm not as good as Duan Lingtian? At most, after I'm defeated and replaced by Qin Yu, I'll personally challenge Duan Ling Tian and ask him to give up his position as Captain! "
'At that time, I'll be the superior of all of you troublemakers. Let's see how I'll deal with all of you then!'
Jian Qiu Ping's eyes burned with anger when he thought about this. He could not wait to replace Duan Ling Tian as the new captain of the Black Dragon Army who spread false information. Then, he would teach them a lesson!
In the Black Dragon Army, it was easy for a captain to mess with his subordinates.
Just as Jian Qiuping was having this thought, another shocking piece of news came from the Black Dragon Army under Jian Qiuping's command.
"Centurion Qin Yu has come out of his closed-door cultivation and is challenging his superior, Captain Jian Qiuping!"
Jian Qiuping only heard about this when half of the Black Dragon Army's camp had been spread.
"Qin Yu!"
Jian Qiuping's expression darkened. His eyes seemed to be on fire.
"Even you think I'm not as good as Duan Lingtian who's only a Violet Moon Heavenly Celestial? Do you think I'm easy to bully? "
Jian Qiuping was furious. He was completely furious!
When Jian Qiu Ping saw Qin Yu and questioned him, Qin Yu replied in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing, "Captain, I've issued a challenge to you as soon as I came out of closed-door cultivation. At that time, I didn't have time to hear about Captain Duan Ling Tian."
Qin Yu was a tall and handsome young man. He was clad in the black armor of the Black Dragon Army, which made him look valiant. Compared to the soldiers of the Black Dragon Army, he was like a crane in a flock of chickens.
At this moment, Qin Yu and his superior, Captain Jian Qiuping, were standing opposite each other.
The soldiers of the Black Dragon Army under Jian Qiuping's command were not the only ones gathered around them. There were also many soldiers under the command of other captains.
It was human nature to join in the fun.
Even Celestials were no exception to this.
"Now that you know, are you going to change your mind and challenge Duan Lingtian instead of me?"
Jian Qiuping asked in a deep voice as he looked at Qin Yu. The anger in his voice had dissipated.
At this moment, he thought Qin Yu would give up on challenging him and challenge the Duan Lingtian who was only a Violet Moon Heavenly Celestial instead.
For this reason, the anger in his heart had subsided a lot.
However, he did not expect Qin Yu to challenge Qin Yu.
He did not expect Qin Yu to give him a way out.
"There's no need for that."
Qin Yu looked at Jian Qiuping calmly and said indifferently, "Captain, I'm not interested in an unfamiliar environment. I think it's good to be the captain of a group of brothers.
Therefore, I'm going to challenge you! "
Qin Yu's tone became heavier when he reached the end of his sentence.
Just as the gazes of the surrounding Black Armored Army's soldiers landed on Jian Qiuping, preparing to watch him fight Qin Yu, Qin Yu suddenly stopped.
However, something unexpected happened.
"Good! Very good! "
Jian Qiuping stared at Qin Yu with an ice-cold gaze. He said in a deep voice, "Since you want the position of Chiliarch so much … then, I will give you the position of Chiliarch on account of the fact that you worked so hard for me in the past!"
Qin Yu was stunned when he heard Jian Qiuping's words.
As far as he knew …
Based on Jian Qiuping's character, even if he knew he was no match for Qin Yu, it was impossible for him to admit defeat so easily.
However, it was a fact that Jian Qiuping had admitted defeat. Therefore, Qin Yu quickly regained his senses and looked at Jian Qiuping. He said indifferently, "Thank you, captain … No, from now on, I'll call you Centurion Jian Qiuping."
Since Jian Qiuping had admitted defeat, then his position as the Thousand Man Commander was naturally replaced by Qin Yu.
As for Jian Qiuping, he was reduced to being a 'Centurion' under Qin Yu, the new Thousand Man Commander.
Just as the crowd was stunned by Jian Qiuping's admission of defeat, a voice suddenly rang out.
"I, Jian Qiuping, hereby announce that I'll challenge Captain Duan Lingtian today!"
