Especially Murong Xinghua. As he watched Miao Yi conversing with Dongfang Lie in a neither haughty nor humble manner, his heart was filled with emotions. In the blink of an eye, he had already become a feudal vassal. Cao Wanxiang, whom he had attached himself to all those years ago, had become a Vice Domain Commander, while this person had risen from a Deputy General in Heaven's Avenue to a Domain Commander.
From the time Miao Yi stirred up the storm at Xiahou Tianweng's birthday banquet to the changes that had taken place today, Murong Xinghua had seen it for himself. Who else in the world, other than Niu Youde, could do such a thing? She admitted that she didn't have the ability to do so. It was simply amazing.
When she came to seek refuge with Miao Yi, she thought she was here to help him in his hour of need. She thought that he was in dire straits and couldn't get up again. Who would have thought that he would be able to turn things around in such a difficult situation and even rise to the next level? He already had a plan in mind. She thought back to her initial thoughts when she came to seek refuge with him and found it laughable. He didn't need her help at all.
'Outstanding men are always so outstanding …' This was what Murong Xinghua thought to herself.
Dongfang Lie indeed had no intention of staying any longer. He gathered his personal guards and set off immediately.
In reality, people of his level didn't need to pay any attention to Miao Yi. They weren't on the same level at all. The reason he could talk so much with Miao Yi so calmly was because Miao Yi's own ability had made him lower his stance.
They left from the inside of the headquarters. Miao Yi led a portion of his men to personally send them to the surface.
After sending off the group of people with his gaze, Miao Yi led them back to the Grand Assembly Hall. When he sat down on the main seat, the group of people had already cupped their fists in unison and said, "Greetings, Lord Lieutenant!"
Even cultivators couldn't help but be worldly. Their respect was naturally related to the authority Miao Yi held in his hands. It determined the future and position of these people. To cultivators, even if there was a slight difference in position, the difference in the future was not just a year or two. It was thousands of years, or even longer.
"No need to be so polite!" Miao Yi reached out his hand to help her up. He furrowed his brows and said, "We're all from the Head Manor … It's just a slip of the tongue. We're all outstanding talents in the Commander's Manor. Everyone knows that there are a lot of empty positions in the Governor's Office, but the biggest problem now is that everyone's rank is too low after being demoted to Mountain God and Earth God. Those who don't have much of an impact after being demoted are mostly people with some background. Those people won't come and join me. Only unlucky people like you can make up your mind to vote. "
These words made everyone smile a little. Wasn't that right? In the past, if there was still a little hope, and there was still someone to speak up for them, who would come to the Ghost City to seek shelter?
Miao Yi continued, "Everyone has seen the Empress' decree. The current Presidential Manor is no longer the same as the previous Phantom City's Main Town Manor. In the past, the Phantom City's Main Town Manor was placed in the Phantom City to make up the numbers. Now, it is officially under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Valley Palace. The Empress has already ordered us to set up the framework and prepare all the positions. But we don't have many people. We can't compare to the other Presidential Manors. But now, we have two Vice Generals, ten Main Towns, twenty Vice Main Towns, a hundred Senior Commanders, two hundred Vice Senior Commanders, a thousand Commanders, and two thousand Vice Commanders. If we add in the tens of thousands of Deputy Generals, hundreds of thousands of Centurions, and a million Corporals, we don't even have a single soldier among our hundred thousand people. Everyone here is an official. This is the first time I've encountered such a thing. I didn't expect it at first. "
"Hehe …" The group of people couldn't help but laugh. Thinking about it, it really was like that. Not a single soldier among a hundred thousand people. Everyone here was an official. This was the first time everyone had encountered such a strange thing.
Qing Yue smiled and said, "Milord, with the strength of our Presidential Manor, we can take responsibility. We can bear the responsibility if we tell others, don't you think so? "
"Yes!" The group of people followed suit.
Seeing that the atmosphere was good, Miao Yi continued, "Everyone, don't be happy too early. I'll say it again, your ranks are too low. Those with slightly higher ranks are only Black Armored Heavenly Soldiers. Even if I force you to your deaths, you can only be a Centurion. The position of Deputy General must at least be at the Golden Armor rank. Do you think you're qualified? I don't have such a big head to force you to do it. This isn't just for one or two people. It's for a hundred thousand people to collectively level up. No one would be able to do it. Everyone, tell me, what should we do? "
The group of people was instantly speechless. Many of them once again hated the people who belittled them. This was clearly making it difficult for them to climb back up. But then again, the people who humiliated them back then didn't want to let them climb back up so easily. And this wasn't their original place. If they were favored by some big shot, there was still a chance for them to be rehabilitated. Once they were rehabilitated, it was possible for them to be reinstated. Everyone had already defected to the Phantom City. This place had no right to rehabilitate them. It was even more impossible for their original place to rehabilitate them.
Long Xin suddenly broke the silence and said, "It's not like there isn't a precedent. There were similar cases in the past where the original troops could be promoted by one rank. It's up to Milord whether you can fight for it or not."
"Oh!" Miao Yi's eyes lit up. He pointed at him and said, "Think about this carefully. See what kind of precedent there is. As long as you can come up with an example, I will try my best to fight for it for everyone."
Qing Yue sneered, "What's the use of promoting one rank? With this big guy's rank, there's no difference between promoting one rank and not promoting at all. It won't change anything."
Miao Yi waved his hand and said, "You can't say it like that. Who didn't climb up one rank at a time? It's better than nothing. With a rank as a base, we can only climb higher next time. If we don't fight for it now, we won't have the chance next time."
Qing Yue nodded and sighed softly. This wasn't like the great war all those years ago. There were endless battles, and there were many opportunities to gain merit. Now that the world was at peace, it was harder to climb up one rank at a time to reach the rank she was at that time.
Miao Yi said, "Everyone, don't think too much about it. The Empress is looking out for us. Suddenly giving out so many positions is a pleasant surprise. Without her care, everyone would still have to climb up one rank at a time. Since the positions are in our hands, and we are the only ones directly under the Heavenly Night Palace, there are no outsiders fighting with us. So these positions won't run away. Sooner or later, it will be everyone's. If you think too much about it, it will be too much. How about this? I'll do my best to fight for everyone. The thirty of you here are all experts in the Infinite level, after all. Let's start with them as centurions. As for the others, let's start with decarchs. Of course, this is just my personal opinion. As for whether the Heavenly Night Palace will agree or not, it's still uncertain. If they don't agree, then everyone can start from the beginning. What do you all think? "
Everyone calmed down and cupped their fists together, "Understood!"
They were all easy to talk to, but the key was that they couldn't talk to them. Everyone's position and rank were here. Compared to Miao Yi, the difference was too great. Even if they wanted to usurp power, they didn't have the right. And there were no other layers of control above them. In the entire Heavenly Night Palace, there wasn't a single person who could control the military. They couldn't let a bunch of palace maids and servants control the military, right? Of course, the Heavenly Empress had this authority now, but she couldn't come here to do this. At most, she could issue orders remotely. She couldn't personally come here and fool around with a bunch of men all day. Even if the Heavenly Empress agreed, the Sky Emperor wouldn't agree. So she still had to rely on Miao Yi. And if they were to transfer people from Heaven's Street, let alone the Heavenly Empress herself, she had to at least ask for Miao Yi's approval. If Miao Yi didn't agree, and didn't control the people below, then someone would come and snatch the positions that these people had reserved. No one would be able to control them, and they wouldn't even know how they died.
Unless the Heavenly Empress had the ability to expand the army here on a large scale, and could transfer a large number of people to suppress the people here. Otherwise, if a few people wanted to control Miao Yi's military power, did they really think that Miao Yi, who had single-handedly raised this army, was a pushover? Did they think that Miao Yi wouldn't dare to instigate the people below him to kill him? Even if they were killed, it would be up to them to do as they pleased. When these people gathered together, they were naturally in a group. They were always wary of people from other places, worried that someone from another power would get involved and take revenge on them. If Miao Yi really wanted to play dirty, forget a few, even if there were hundreds or thousands of them, he would still be able to kill them all the same. The more people came, the more positions he occupied, and the greater the backlash from the people below. In Miao Yi's words, they were all ambitious people who came to join the phantom market. They weren't really here to become soldiers.
Due to various reasons, Miao Yi had a natural advantage in the Nether Realm. This meant that Miao Yi had the final say in the Governor's Manor. He was no different from a local tyrant, a blank piece of paper. As long as he didn't go overboard, he could do whatever he wanted.
After the crowd dispersed, Yun Zhiqiu came out with Fei Hong, Qian'Er, Xue'Er, and the others. They all bowed and congratulated Miao Yi. "Congratulations on your promotion, Milord."
Yun Zhiqiu smiled happily. She knew how much risk this man had taken in order to get to this position. Fei Hong was also very happy. She didn't expect Miao Yi to become a vassal so quickly. The greater Miao Yi's power, the greater the hope of rescuing her mother. Qian'Er, Xue'Er, and the others were naturally happy.
"Haha!" Miao Yi smiled and waved his hand. After plotting for so long, it wasn't a pleasant surprise that he actually got to this position. He was already mentally prepared for it.
After chatting for a while, Miao Yi returned to his room with Yun Zhiqiu. He took out the Star Bell and tried to contact Xiahou Chengyu, only to find that he had lost contact with him. 'What does this mean?'
Miao Yi was a little confused. The Star Bell that he directly contacted was the Heavenly Empress herself. Why couldn't he contact her now?
He didn't know if it was inconvenient to contact the Heavenly Empress right now, so he decided to wait and see.
On the other hand, Yang Qing, who knew that the matter regarding the Nether Realm's Governor had been settled, sent him a message to congratulate him. At the same time, he also reminded Miao Yi to be careful when contacting the Heavenly Empress about any secret matters, and not to let anyone else in the Heavenly Mi Palace know about it.
