Miao Yi was no fool. He could tell from the looks in their eyes that they were unhappy with him.
He was unhappy too, but since they dared to show it, he didn't dare to show it. He even had to keep a smile on his face. With the difference in strength between them, he had no chance of winning, so he could only endure it.
At this moment, Jin Man displayed a respectful attitude and invited him to take a seat on the high platform.
Seeing Miao Yi calmly walk up the platform, Jin Man was also a little apprehensive. She couldn't tell that this guy wasn't afraid at all. A mere Golden Lotus cultivator didn't seem nervous at all when facing so many experts.
Walking to the side of the throne, Jin Man extended her hand and invited him to sit.
Miao Yi didn't care. As long as it didn't endanger his safety, he would do whatever they wanted. As long as he followed their wishes, he would be fine. He then steadily sat down with his hands on his knees.
Jin Man glanced at him, but didn't leave. She stood beside the throne and turned to face the crowd. Her gaze swept across the crowd, and when she saw some people looking to the side with an impatient expression, she couldn't help but frown. After a while, she said in a clear voice, "Divine Lord Miao Yi has ascended to the throne. The Path of Immeasurable has recognized him as its master.
The twenty or so men and women standing below looked at each other, but none of them paid their respects.
Jin Man glared at Shi Yunbian from above. Shi Yunbian's lips twitched, and he slowly knelt down on one knee. He lowered his head and said, "Greetings, Divine Lord!" Seeing no reaction from the others, he looked to his left and right, then reached out to tug at the robes of the people around him.
The two elders standing beside him took a deep breath, shook their robes, and slowly bent their knees. Their movements were incredibly heavy as they knelt down and said with their heads lowered, "Greetings, Divine Lord!"
The three leaders at the front all knelt down. The people behind them looked at each other for a moment, then followed suit. "Greetings, Divine Lord!"
The greetings were not uniform, and could be said to be sporadic. It was obvious they were unwilling.
Sitting high up on his throne, Miao Yi's mouth twitched slightly as he secretly rejoiced in his heart. To be able to appear here, this group of people's cultivations were probably not low, especially the three in front. Even a Vision Manifestation realm expert was kneeling in front of him. Even in his dreams, he never thought that this day would come. This feeling really made him feel good.
"What are you spacing out for? Hurry up and get everyone up. Do you want them to kneel for a long time and incur the wrath of the crowd?" Jin Man transmitted her voice to Great Holy Leader Miao's ears.
Miao Yi immediately transmitted his voice over and asked, "Should I say something?"
Jin Man secretly scolded, "Can't you see that everyone is getting impatient? What about the twin chlorine? Enchanting Melody Meets Luan Huan Song? The tailor hammered the box and harrowed the yard. Shoulder? Hot alliance? Shoot Zeus? What's the rush? Courtyard Gun Pry Ang? Curtain!
Miao Yi cursed in his heart, 'Are you crazy? Since you're both unwilling, why force yourself?'
On the surface, he hurriedly put on a smile and raised his hands towards the kneeling crowd. "Everyone, please rise."
The group of people stood up without any hesitation, unlike when they were kneeling. As soon as Miao Yi finished speaking, the group of people quickly stood up.
The old man on Shi Yunbian's left stood up and immediately cupped his fists towards Jin Man. "General, if you have no other instructions, we will take our leave first."
Not asking for Miao Yi's permission, but asking for Jin Man's permission in front of everyone. This was a clear disregard for Miao Yi. It was obviously not that easy for the Great Holy Lord Miao to control the Immeasurable Dao's military power. Even if he was promoted now, the military power would still be in Jin Man's hands. This wasn't something that just anyone could take over.
Of course, Miao Yi wouldn't be angry at all. He never thought that he was worthy of this position, nor did he think that he would be able to secure it.
Jin Man gave Miao Yi plenty of face in front of everyone. She turned to Miao Yi and asked, "Do you have any other instructions, Divine Lord? If there are none, why don't you let the Generals go about their own business?"
Miao Yi nodded, then waved his hand at the people below and smiled, "Do as you please, everyone!"
Many people didn't say another word. They simply flicked their sleeves and turned to leave.
Miao Yi muttered to himself, 'This ascension ceremony is really simple. They don't even bother with the formalities. What the hell are they trying to do by giving me this position?'
Standing to the side, Jin Man suddenly shouted, "Shi Yunbian, Ao Tie, Gongsun Lidao. The three of you stay." Her eyes were filled with anger.
The people who walked out of the grand hall turned to look back, then left one after another. The three people who had turned around with Shi Yunbian suddenly stopped in their tracks. The three of them turned around, and an old Daoist with white hair asked calmly, "Do you have any other instructions, General Lord?"
Her gold-threaded dress fluttered as Jin Man left Miao Yi behind. She slowly walked down the stairs, her eyes filled with killing intent as she stared at the three approaching. She secretly transmitted her voice to them, "I've already told you all the principles and reasons that need to be said. I've already explained to you all the things that need to be said, and you all agreed to it. Why can't you all bend over when the time comes? Is your personal honor more important, or the lives of a million brothers more important? If even the three of you aren't willing to cooperate, how can the people below be willing to obey? "
The three of them remained silent. Sensing the transcendence energy fluctuations, Miao Yi secretly pondered what these rebel leaders were plotting.
Seeing that the three of them were silent, Jin Man walked to their side and turned to face Miao Yi, who was sitting high up, and introduced them one by one.
She pointed at Shi Yunbian, "Great General Shi Yunbian, Divine Lord knows him."
Her finger moved to point at the old Daoist with white hair, "This is Great General Gongsun Lidao."
She pointed at another skinny old man in a black robe, "This is Great General Ao Tie."
Finally, she concluded, "Our Boundless Dao has a total of five Great Generals. Two of them are currently commanding the troops in case of a sneak attack by the rebels, and are temporarily unable to come to pay respects to Divine Lord. One of them is called Situ Qinglan, and the other is called Hai Yuanke. The five Great Generals are all experts of the Divine Manifestation Realm, and are the mainstays of our Boundless Dao. Below them are twenty-eight Great Generals, and they are all qualified to be the backbone of the Boundless Dao for discussions in the Divine Hall. They are also experts of the Lotus Transformation Realm. Today, because they were dealing with the rebels, not all of them are present. When they have the time, they will come again to pay respects to Divine Lord. "
Tsk tsk! We have so many experts under us! Sitting on top, Miao Yi, who was secretly feeling good, laughed and waved his hand, "It's fine, it's fine."
His' Amitabha 'expression caused Shi Yunbian and the other two to turn their heads, looking down on the Great Divine Lord Miao even more.
Jin Man glanced at them, and continued, "Currently, the Boundless Dao has close to 1,400,000 troops. They claim that they have an army of six million, but the true number is only known by the Divine Hall's Generals. The Six Paths have a total of more than eight million troops, and they claim to have an army of forty million to outsiders. "
Miao Yi was taken aback, and couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, "Why do they have to falsely report the number of troops?"
Jin Man explained, "First of all, it's to boost morale, and maintain everyone's confidence. It's to let our brothers know that we still have the strength to make a comeback. Secondly, after all, there are too many people, and we can't guarantee that there aren't any traitors hidden within the Six Paths. Claiming to have an army of forty million is also a form of deterrence to the rebels, so that they won't dare to offend us easily. In order to ensure that the information doesn't leak out, the troops are usually controlled by the Generals separately. Our brothers can't see the total number of troops, so naturally, they don't know the details. Communication transcendent artifacts like the Star Bell are also strictly controlled. They are given out during battle, and immediately after the battle, they are taken back for collective control. "
"Oh!" Miao Yi nodded his head, looking like he understood. However, deep down, he was suspicious. 'What are these rebels trying to do? They even told me such a secret. Do they really want me to be some Divine Lord? If they find out that I'm the Heavenly Court's Commander, they'll skin me alive. '
After Jin Man explained the general situation here, the old Taoist Gongsun Lidao said, "General, if there's nothing else, we'll take our leave first."
Jin Man ignored him, and turned to look at Miao Yi, who was sitting high up on the throne. She didn't say a word, and let the three of them do as they see fit.
Shi Yunbian and the other two looked at each other, and in the end, they had no choice but to brace themselves and cup their fists towards Miao Yi, "Divine Lord, if there's nothing else, we'll take our leave."
Miao Yi immediately smiled, and nodded his head like a chick pecking at grains. "Do as you please, please."
The three of them took a step back in accordance with the rules, and then turned around to leave.
After watching the three of them leave, Miao Yi heaved a sigh of relief and stood up. He quickly walked down the stairs, and cupped his fists towards Jin Man. "General, do you have any other orders?"
"You …" Jin Man tried her best to suppress her anger. She clenched her teeth and said with a straight face, "From today onwards, you have to remember that you are the Boundless Saint Lord. A Saint Lord must have the aura of a Saint Lord. Don't act like a petty person and be polite to everyone you see. Don't lower yourself. Otherwise, you will lose face for the entire Boundless Sect. Understand?"
Miao Yi cursed her eighteen generations of ancestors in his heart. He wanted to be tough, but how could he, a Golden Lotus cultivator, put on airs in front of cultivators with boundless transcendence energy? Moreover, it was a group of old men with boundless transcendence energy, and all of them disliked him. Were they trying to put on airs, or were they trying to court death? 'Do they really think I'm a fool?'
Miao Yi didn't think she really wanted him to be some Divine Lord, so he nodded tactfully and said, "I understand, I understand. In front of others, I am the Divine Lord, but when there is no one else, I will definitely obey General's orders. If General needs me to say anything, I will definitely listen to you …" He misunderstood her meaning, and at the same time, he was showing his loyalty, showing that he was just an empty shell, and that she still had the final say in the Boundless Sect.
For the sake of survival, this bastard was quite tactful in a situation where it was harmless. In any case, he wouldn't lose face if he kept a low profile in front of these people. Once he got out of here alive, he would think of a way to bring the Heavenly Court's forces to encircle and annihilate him. Then, he would properly settle this score.
As a result, his words came to an abrupt halt. Jin Man grabbed his collar, her eyes filled with anger, as though she wanted nothing more than to kill Miao Yi with a single palm strike. However, when she saw the Cosmos Robe on Miao Yi's body, she flung her sleeves and loosened her grip. Suppressing her anger, she said word by word, "I will tell you solemnly. You are the Divine Lord above all others. No one can stand above you, and no one here wants to use you!"
Feeling as though he had just escaped from death, Miao Yi immediately nodded and said, "I understand. I understand."
'Understand my ass!' With one look, it was obvious that he was being perfunctory. Jin Man's gentleness immediately vanished, and she almost roared, "What do you understand?"
