Two days later, on March 3, the 3584th year of Emperor NvWa's Calendar in Motian Realm, in the lobby of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in Heavenly Square City …
This day, Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace was pretty solemn. Even the interior of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace had been redecorated. After 9 am, deacons in black ceremonial robes and immortal soldiers in bright armors had been standing in rows in the lobby. In the long bugle sound that reverberated across Heavenly Square City outside the immortal palace, Huang Baimei the head and Leng Manxue the general deacon appeared in the immortal palace together with those immortal generals who were going to join Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. Today, the vowing ceremony of the immortal palace in Heavenly Square City was officially held.
There were 7 immortal generals behind Huang Baimei and Leng Manxue, namely Liu brothers, Jiang Ruoxin, Ji Yuelan and the three people whom Zhang Tie met in the canteen of the immortal palace that day. Each of the 7 people wore the uniform robe of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace today. They all looked solemn as they slowly followed the head and the general deacon towards the main altar under the statue of Dragon Emperor under the gaze of those deacons and immortal soldiers.
Of course, it was just superficially so. Actually, since they entered the palace, Liu brothers, Jiang Ruoxin and Ji Yuelan had long started to murmur secretly. Of course, immortal generals whispered in secret means. Superficially, they kept their mouths shut with serious looks. However, it didn't affect their communication.
"Where's Zhang Tie? Hasn't he arrived yet?" Ji Yuelan asked Liu brothers.
"Not yet. I've taken a look at him this morning. He's cultivating in his room like yesterday!" Liu Meng answered at once.
"Really? He's really lazy at this moment …" Ji Yuelan muttered discontentedly. Only after not seeing Zhang Tie for two days, Ji Yuelan felt that her temper had become much worse.
"How could he be lazy? If Zhang Tie idled around, how could he have such a great battle strength? I'm really frustrated by him. I don't even know what I've been doing these years …" Jiang Ruoxin let out a sigh as she continued, "These days, when I saw him in secluded cultivation, I felt reassured and balanced. I feel that I'm not that stupid. I've gained a bit confidence. You have to work harder than others!"
"Yes, we brothers think so too. To be honest, when we saw Zhang Tie a couple of days ago, we always felt a bit scared as we felt that he was a fake. After seeing him working so hard these days, we felt that he had come back to life as a real person …" Liu Yong said.
After sharing booties with Zhang Tie, Liu brothers, Jiang Ruoxin and Ji Yuelan got closer to each other as they trusted each other more. Therefore, they could talk more freely at this moment. Faintly, they had already become a small group in Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in Heavenly Square City.
"Head Huang also indulges him. How could he not come to such an occasion? We've already made a pledge a few days ago; however, we have to accompany the three people to go through the formalities again …"
"Perhaps Head Huang wants Zhang Tie to show up less these days. As for us, Head Huang just stabilized us by making the oath a few days ago. Strictly speaking, it's not a mere formality. After all, besides Zhang Tie, our official positions in the immortal palace have not been fixed yet. Didn't General Deacon Leng say that what happened that day is a top secret in Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in Heavenly Square City? We should not talk about it casually even with the others in the immortal palace. Therefore, we come here again today so as to cover the public's attention …"
When they talked, Huang Baimei the head of the immortal palace and Leng Manxue the general deacon had already led them to the foot of the main altar.
After leading those immortal generals to burn incense sticks, worship and chant prayers towards the statue of Dragon Emperor, Huang Baimei the head of Immortal Palace in a purple-golden crown turned around and watched them with an extremely solemn look.
"These days, Heavenly Square City has suffered a great event. Zi clan was exterminated; the immortal generals of Star Emperor Immortal Palace also died in Heavenly Square City. Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace is in the turmoil. Therefore, we don't have any new immortal generals joining us these days. Therefore, this pledging ceremony will be held two days in advance so as to reassure people …"
After hearing Head Huang's words, Liu brothers and Leng Manxue exchanged a glance with each other as they had a strange feeling. Few immortal generals were idiots. These days, Heavenly Square City was not peaceful; especially after those immortal generals of Star Emperor Immortal Palace were killed by Zhang Tie. Many people were guessing how Star Emperor Immortal Palace would take revenge on Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in Heavenly Square City. Therefore, nobody dared apply for the recruitment of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in Heavenly Square City these days. Therefore, only a few immortal generals attended the pledging ceremony today.
However, Zhang Tie might be more powerful than dozens of ordinary immortal generals. Therefore, they noticed that Head Huang looked pretty calm when he said that. Because it was not a bad deal for Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace.
"Before the pledging ceremony, you could consider about it. If you want to quit Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, it's not too late. You could leave now. I will not force you to do that. As long as you join Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace officially, you have to obey the rules of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. Within 100 years, if you want to quit before the appointed time, you would be treated as a traitor by Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace and be chased after by Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace for thousands of miles. By then, you would have no shelter across Motian Realm!" Huang Baimei, the head of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace turned solemn as he glanced over all the others seriously, asking, "Have you made up your mind?"
"I've already made up my mind. I will never regret joining Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace!"
The first one who opened his mouth was the youth in white whom Zhang Tie saw in the canteen that day in front of them. Today, he was in black. He was also handsome. As he said that, he took a look at Jiang Ruoxin on his side seriously. Both he and Jiang Ruoxin were earth immortal generals, whose battle strength was one level higher than that of the others.
"I've also made up my mind. I would like to join Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace!" Jiang Ruoxin said calmly.
"Me too …"
"Me too …"
"We two brothers would like to join Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace …"
All the others expressed their opinions.
"Well, now that you're willing to join Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, from today on, we're a family. You and Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace will share blessings and misfortunes …" Head Huang said as he turned around and uncovered a black cover over the altar, revealing a 15 cm long transparent crystal dragon on the altar, saying, "Those who want to join Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, drop your blood on this dragon's head one by one and complete the bloody pledge. After that, you will become a member of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace officially …"
Closely after that, the seven people moved forward one by one and completed the bloody pledge.
Although it was the second time, there was no difference in the process of fulfilling the same Blood Oath, and there were no side effects. Therefore, they successfully completed the Blood Oath.
After completing the blood oath, the four Liu brothers knew that the handsome young man was called Zhou Baifei, the bald strong man was called Lu Tianqiang, and the eldest one, who looked like a teacher, was called Xun Zizhou.
Since they met each other in the dining hall in the morning, Zhou Baifei didn't appear to be in the immortal palace these days. As for the other two brothers who were also crazy about cultivation, they just cultivated in their rooms all day yesterday. Therefore, they didn't have a chance to contact them. Therefore, it was their first time to know the names of the three people.
After watching them complete the bloody pledge, Head Huang nodded as he said, "Next, I will announce your duties in the immortal palace …"
"Zhou Baifei!"
"Yes!" The handsome young man who spoke first strode one step forward as he replied in a muffled voice.
"I appoint you as the general priest of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in Heavenly Square City with LV 6 silver dragon pattern!"
"Yes, sir!" Zhou Baifei replied calmly as he moved one step back after cupping his hands.
"Jiang Ruoxin …"
"I'm here!"
"I appoint you as the driver of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in Heavenly Square City with LV 5 silver dragon pattern!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Lu Tianqiang!"
"I'm here!"
"I appoint you as the military officer of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in Heavenly Square City with LV 3 silver dragon pattern!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Ji Yuelan!"
"I'm here!"
"I appoint you as the left inspector of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in Heavenly Square City with LV 3 silver dragon pattern!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Liu Yong, Liu Qiang!"
After hearing their names, Liu brothers hurriedly moved one step forward as they replied, "I'm here!"
"I appoint you as the left and right grand justices of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in Heavenly Square City with LV 2 silver dragon pattern!"
"Liu Yong and Liu Qiang receive your orders …"
"Xun Zizhou!"
"I'm here!"
"I appoint you as the librarian of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in Heavenly Square City with LV 2 silver dragon pattern!"
"Yes, sir!"
Only after a short while, all of them had their positions and ranks in Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace.
"After joining the immortal palace, you will get 10 element crystals per month within 3 years. Fierce immortal generals will get 10 earth element crystals per month; earth immortal generals will get 10 water element crystals per month. Three years later, your pay will be distributed according to your positions in the immortal palace. Additionally, 10 years later, you will be qualified to enter the Classics Pavilion and the Secret Palace of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace and enjoy many resources in the immortal palace. Although Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace is facing difficulties for the time being, it's not unconquerable. Hopefully, you could unite with each other and help each other. 100 years later, Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace will reach the peak again!" Huang Baimei encouraged them.
"Yes, sir!"
"If you have any questions about Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, you could ask me now …" Huang Baimei's tone turned mild at once after making the oath.
After exchanging a glance with each other, the others didn't have any questions. Only Zhou Baifei strode one step forward as he said, "Head, I saw a person in the immortal palace a few days ago. Although he's young, he's already a LV 7 deputy head. I wonder whether he's a member of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. Zhou Baifei would like to learn from him …"
"He's called Zhang Tie, the deputy head of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. As he's in cultivation, I didn't call him here. You could get to know each other better in the future …"
"Oh …" Zhou Baifei's eyes sparkled as he left there …
…
Those who were attending the oath ceremony didn't know that Zhang Tie, who was cultivating in his own room, was at a critical moment. His mind sea was undergoing an earth-shaking change …
