"Little Brother Lin Yun, can you teach me how to draw a tenth-grade talisman?"
"Big Brother Lin Yun, can you arrange the array formation again? Just once would be enough, please! "
"Great Master Lin Yun, please accept me as your disciple. I really want to learn alchemy from you!"
The people who had lost to Lin Yun in the competition were now trying to curry favor with Lin Yun. They were all shamelessly fawning over him.
In an instant, Lin Yun had become the center of the court.
It was as if the entire Southern Summer King's Kingdom was revolving around him.
Nangong Yan, who was next to the Southern Summer King, was looking at Lin Yun with an infatuated gaze. Her gaze became more and more devout, as if she was a pilgrim who had seen her god.
In her eyes, Lin Yun was no longer a youth, but a god who had descended from the heavens.
A god who had strength, wisdom, and knowledge.
A god who could resolve the doubts in her heart and satisfy her thirst for knowledge.
She suddenly had the urge to worship and follow Lin Yun.
If it wasn't for her status as a princess and the fact that the Southern Summer King was still present, she would have probably knelt in front of Lin Yun and begged Lin Yun to accept her as his disciple.
"How is it? Now, does Lin Yun have the qualifications to take on the position of one of the ten armies? "The Southern Summer King looked at Lin Yun with satisfaction and asked the Three Rulers below.
The Country Ruler also nodded in satisfaction. "Although Lin Yun is still young, his abilities are indeed impeccable. I think there shouldn't be any problems letting him take on this position."
The internal and external monarchs couldn't find anything to nitpick about Lin Yun, so they could only silently agree to it.
Since the Three Rulers had nothing to say about Lin Yun, the civil and military officials didn't dare to have any objections.
Just like that, Lin Yun obtained the position of one of the ten national armies.
This farce in the court had finally come to an end.
After the farce ended, Lin Yun immediately returned to the Evildoer Prefecture.
At this moment, Lin Ying was taking a bath, and the boundless spring scenery suddenly appeared.
…
The night was indescribable.
The scene was too beautiful to be described.
…
The next morning.
The sun was bright and beautiful.
Lin Yun felt refreshed and full of energy. He looked like a brand new person.
After having breakfast with Lin Ying, Lin Yun received an invitation from the Country Guarding Emperor.
After arriving at the Stabilisation Constabulary, Lin Yun saw the armored Stabilisation Emperor sitting solemnly on a chair.
The Country Guarding King did not like to beat around the bush. After inviting Lin Yun to take a seat, he went straight to the point and said, "I've called you here because I have an important task for you."
"This is your first task after taking office, and it's also a test for you. If you can pass this test, you'll be able to establish your prestige in the army, and you'll be able to lead the army better in the future. "
"What's the task?" Lin Yun asked expressionlessly.
The Country Guarding King said calmly, "In the past few months, a group of unknown bandits has appeared in Xi State at the western border, and they've been causing trouble there."
"This group of bandits has a mysterious background, and they're definitely not ordinary bandits. They've cultivated some unknown demonic technique, and their combat power is far greater than martial artists of the same level."
"The Marquis of Xi State once sent a patrol to clean them up, but they were all annihilated in the end. Even the commander of the patrol never returned."
"The Marquis of Xi State asked the military for help last month, but the matter has been put on hold because it was the Martial Arts Competition at that time."
The Country Guarding King looked at Lin Yun nicely. "I initially planned to give this task to an experienced general, but your performance has exceeded my expectations, so I've decided to let you lead 5,000 elite cavalries."
Lin Yun asked indifferently, "What's the cultivation level of the bandit leader?"
The Country Guarding King shook his head and said, "We don't know his exact cultivation, but what we can be sure of is that he's at least above the commander of the Western Region's patrol. Otherwise, it would be impossible for a patrol leader at the seventh level of the Martial Master to not even have a chance to escape. "
"Above the seventh level of the Martial Master?"
Lin Yun thought for a moment, then said to the Country Guarding King, "There's no need to send 5,000 elite cavalries, I'll go alone."
"You're going alone?" The Country Guarding King revealed a surprised expression.
Lin Yun explained his reason, "You just said that these bandits have cultivated some kind of demonic technique. Therefore, I'm guessing that there's a Devil Sect member hiding behind them. It's this Devil Sect member who's controlling them from behind the scenes and teaching them demonic arts. "
"If I bring a large number of troops there, it's very easy to alert the enemy and let the Devil Sect member behind the scenes slip away. In the end, all our efforts will be in vain. Therefore, I plan to sneak in alone and behead the mastermind first. "
Hearing Lin Yun's explanation, the Country Guarding King nodded his head in satisfaction, "Actually, I've also suspected that there's a Devil Sect member hiding behind these bandits. Naturally, I also know that sending a large number of troops there would easily alert the enemy."
"However, if I don't send an army and let you sneak in alone, it's too risky. You're a pillar of the Southern Summer. Whether it's the Southern Summer King or me, we won't let you take this risk. "
Lin Yun said without fear, "Country Guarding King, don't worry. I have enough methods to protect myself. Not to mention a small bandit lair, even if it's an enemy country's palace, no one can stop me if I want to leave. "
Lin Yun's tone was very calm, as if he was going to the market to buy vegetables. However, this calm tone was very serious, without the slightest hint of a joke.
Hearing Lin Yun's words, the Country Guarding King couldn't help but be secretly speechless.
Even if it was an enemy country's palace, no one could stop him if he wanted to leave.
What kind of confidence and boldness did he have to say something like this?
The Country Guarding King knew very well that Lin Yun wasn't joking, but was very serious.
He was really curious, what kind of life-saving methods did Lin Yun have that could make him so confident that he could come and go as he pleased in an enemy country's palace?
"Lin Yun, are you really confident? If you don't, then don't try to be brave. "The Country Guarding King looked at Lin Yun very seriously.
Lin Yun said expressionlessly, "I never do things that I'm not confident in."
The Country Guarding King looked at Lin Yun expectantly, "Since that's the case, then let me see if you can really do it. I hope you won't disappoint me."
…
The sun was setting, and the sky was red.
Dozens of miles away from the main city of the Western Region, a griffin swooped down from the sky, scaring a few beasts that were looking for food nearby and causing them to flee in all directions.
Lin Yun jumped down from the griffin's back and turned his head to look at the city wall on the horizon in the distance. Then, he used a formation to imprison the griffin to prevent it from flying around.
In order not to alert the enemy, Lin Yun didn't intend to expose his true identity. Instead, he went to suppress the bandits as a nameless rogue cultivator.
The officials of the Western Region also didn't know that the Country Guarding King had already sent people over.
After a sophisticated disguise, Lin Yun disguised himself as an ordinary-looking young man, wearing a straw hat and a black robe. He looked travel-worn and full of the aura of the Jianghu.
Not only that, Lin Yun also used a sealing formation to seal his cultivation to the Seventh Level Warrior Realm, which was more in line with the setting of a rogue cultivator.
