It was hard for them not to be surprised. Among the hundred thousand newly recruited elites, one of them was called Master Yuan. He seemed to be from the Ocean Star as well, and his cultivation wasn't low either. He was at the Eighth Grade of the Lotus Transformation Realm. Was this a coincidence? If it was really the same person, what did that mean?
Yun Zhiqiu flipped her hand and took out a jade archive with a name list. Miao Yi asked again, "What's the cultivation of that Earth Lord?"
Xu Tangran was wondering what was going on, but he replied, "Chu Antian doesn't know his exact cultivation, because that Earth Lord doesn't usually reveal his cultivation. Furthermore, Chu Antian didn't dare to make contact with him for fear of alerting the enemy. However, Chu Antian is sure that his cultivation has definitely reached the Lotus Transformation Realm."
Miao Yi asked, "You must have heard of why he became an Earth Lord with such a high cultivation, right?"
Xu Tangran nodded. "Chu Antian found out a little about this. This Earth Lord called Master Yuan was demoted to an Earth Lord when the Heavenly Court was first established. The reason was that he killed his superior's wife's uncle. After being demoted to an Earth Lord, he was never promoted again."
Miao Yi glanced at Yun Zhiqiu. Yun Zhiqiu's expression was tense as she raised the jade archive in her hand and nodded. The origin of the Land that Xu Tangran had mentioned matched with the Master Yuan they had recruited. He was also the man who had killed the wife of the Heavenly Court's superior and was demoted to the Land. The location, character, and background all matched up. There shouldn't be a mistake.
The room suddenly fell silent. Yang Zhaoqing and Qian 'Er's expressions were clearly not looking too good. This atmosphere made Xu Tangran feel uneasy all over. He asked a little nervously, "Master, is there a problem with this Master Yuan?"
Miao Yi lowered his gaze and said, "We recruited a hundred thousand elites, and among them are thirty experts with incomparable transcendence energy. Don't tell me that Xue Linglong didn't tell you."
Xu Tangran nodded blankly and said, "Xue Linglong did tell me. This and …" He suddenly realized something and his eyes widened. "Could it be that Daren means that this Master Yuan has also been recruited into the headquarters?"
Miao Yi nodded and said, "You're right. He is now my subordinate! "
"…" Xu Tangran's mouth was wide open, and his eyes were full of exaggeration. He was truly shocked. What kind of joke was this? Someone like Cao Man, who secretly controlled who knew how many gangs in the world, had actually become Milord's subordinate? He swallowed his saliva and said nervously, "How … how is this possible? Such a person, such an identity. How could they possibly seek refuge with the Ghost City's Main Town? "
Miao Yi scoffed, "You didn't expect this, did you?"
Xu Tangran shook his head like a rattle.
"I didn't expect it either. If you hadn't mentioned it, who would have thought of it?" Miao Yi narrowed his eyes. He couldn't help but shake his head. "What a House Xiahou. Who would've thought that such a powerful figure would be an unknown local eunuch? I'm afraid no one would've expected them to be so discreet and well-hidden! No wonder other than Cao Man, no one in the world could figure out the depth of the Xiahou family. You can see that from Master Yuan! "
"Sigh!" Yun Zhiqiu sighed softly and shook his head in amazement. "It's precisely because they're so well-hidden that they can't be easily discovered. Milord, think about it. A person with such an identity would be worried about being exposed no matter where they hide. It's also easy to get into trouble if they establish themselves as a loose cultivator. Loose cultivators aren't as disciplined as those in the Heavenly Court. It's common for them to backstab each other, and it's easy to cause trouble. It's also not suitable for them to hide among mortals. They'll have to change their identities if their lifespans are slightly longer, and it's easy to be noticed if they change identities frequently. If they hold a high position in the Heavenly Court. It's easy for them to become the center of attention, and they'll easily be involved in the conflicts of interest. It'll be inconvenient for them to secretly control the underground forces. Could it be that they'll forever be a person without desires in the Heavenly Court? How would they explain their abnormal cultivation progress and resources? But without the Heavenly Court's tiger skin, they'd easily encounter trouble. At least with the Heavenly Court's tiger skin, no one would dare to mess with them. It'd be great if they could find a reason to be demoted to a peasant and hide in a corner without attracting attention. All the above troubles can be avoided as much as possible. At the very least, it'll allow them to peacefully operate their underground forces for a long time. It can be said that the Xiahou Family's move is quite brilliant. "
Miao Yi said a little helplessly, "If that's the case, then what's the meaning of him coming to the Ghost City's main garrison to apply for the position? Could it be that he wants to come here to be a spy? Isn't it a little too condescending for him to be a spy? "
Yun Zhiqiu said, "It doesn't matter if he's condescending or not. There's definitely an element of being a spy involved. "
Miao Yi said, "If your judgment is true, then he didn't hesitate to be demoted to a peasant a hundred thousand years ago for what you said. Now he's coming out to improve himself. Isn't this a little contradictory?"
Yun Zhiqiu shook his head and said, "In my opinion, it's not contradictory at all. My Lord, think about what kind of background he had when he was demoted. When he was demoted, it was not long after the great turmoil in the world. In order to help Qing and Fo establish the world, the Xiahou Family's underground forces had been greatly depleted. Some things that shouldn't have been exposed had already been exposed. They needed to restructure the underground forces and regain control of the underground forces. At that time, Master Yuan was demoted to a peasant to manage it. And after so many years, I reckon that the management should be more or less perfected. Some things can be controlled by Xing Ling. There's no need to show his face in public anymore. Furthermore, it might not be a good thing to stay in that position for too long. My Lord is recruiting people. Not to mention using this opportunity to make a comeback, doesn't my Lord think that this is an excellent opportunity for him to clear his name? After coming here once, and with the experience of being demoted before, who would have thought that he was from the Xiahou Family after being demoted for a hundred thousand years? Who would have thought that a character from the Xiahou Family who controlled one of the underground forces would hold a high position in the Netherworld's Great Domain? In the future, no matter who wanted to investigate his background, they wouldn't be able to find any flaws. This change in identity was simply perfect. If Xu Tangran hadn't found out, this person would have hidden himself without a trace. It could be said that no one would suspect him. And this place is within the sphere of influence of the Hall of Faith and Loyalty, which is also a guarantee for his safety. Furthermore, the Netherworld's Great Domain is under the control of the Heavenly Valley Palace. They can easily create an opportunity to transfer him to Heavenly Street. Here, Master Yuan will have all kinds of space to maneuver. Besides, being in the Netherworld's Great Domain, he can also take the opportunity to probe my Lord's situation … "The last sentence carried a hint of peculiarity, hinting at Miao Yi.
Miao Yi slowly nodded. He knew what she was referring to. The Xiahou Family wanted to know his relationship with the Six Paths. He couldn't help but scoff, "What a farsighted Xiahou Family." He was a little angry. He had the impulse to directly kill this important figure from the Xiahou Family who controlled one of the underground forces. Let's see what else the Xiahou Family can do.
He turned around and looked at Xu Tangran, who was still in a daze, unable to regain his senses for a long time. "How did the Xiahou Family control Chu Antian?" He was more interested in how the Xiahou Family controlled people.
Xu Tangran regained his senses and smiled bitterly, "They didn't use any special methods. The Xiahou Family has a hold on Chu Antian. Chu Antian committed a fatal crime in his early years. He did that with one of His Majesty's concubines, and then killed the concubine to silence her. "
Everyone was stunned. Miao Yi asked in surprise, "His Majesty's concubine? How did Chu Antian get in touch with His Majesty's concubine? What's going on? "
Xu Tangran sighed and said, "Actually, he didn't know that the woman was His Majesty's concubine at first. He only knew that she was an extremely beautiful woman. After he kidnapped her and played with her, he wanted to take her as his concubine. Because that woman was too beautiful, he liked her too much. Who knew that the Heavenly Court would make a big move after that? They were looking for this woman everywhere. Only then did he know that the Heavenly Emperor's concubine had returned home to visit her family. She went out to play and was kidnapped by him. Naturally, he was terrified, so he killed the woman. After a long time, the Heavenly Court couldn't find the concubine, so the matter was left unsettled. Chu Antian thought that the matter was already over. Who would have thought that the mysterious person would find out about his secret? Ever since then, he had been manipulated. After that, he felt that the matter was a little strange. Even if the Heavenly Emperor's concubine wasn't favored, there shouldn't be no one protecting her. How could he have gotten his hands on her so easily? He wondered if he had fallen into the Xiahou Family's trap. However, he didn't have any proof. "
In that case, everyone felt that Chu Antian's suspicions weren't unreasonable. There was a high possibility that he had fallen into the Xiahou Family's trap. Everyone was speechless at the Xiahou Family. How audacious. They even dared to use the Heavenly Emperor's concubine as a chess piece.
After pondering for a while, Miao Yi finally came to a decision. He transmitted his voice to Yun Zhiqiu, "Communicate with Yang Qing more about the Alliance of Stars. I don't have the energy to deal with it right now."
Yun Zhiqiu nodded.
Miao Yi then said to Xu Tangran, "You've worked hard as well. It's been a few years since you last saw Xue Linglong. Go back and get some rest. We'll talk about it later. "
'Don't! We haven't talked about the proper business yet. Why did I spend so much money and effort for!? ' Xu Tangran cried out inwardly, but he put on a serious expression and said, "It's nothing. It's my duty to serve my lord. Oh right, my lord. Now that you've recruited a hundred thousand troops, you'll have to make arrangements for them, right? I wonder if the Heavenly Valley Palace has set any restrictions on the positions in the Commander Manor? This subordinate knows that his cultivation is not as good as those elites, so no matter what position this subordinate is assigned to, this subordinate will definitely not object. "His words were pleasant to hear, but the look of anticipation in his eyes was something that he could not hide.
Yun Zhiqiu glanced at him and smiled.
Miao Yi raised an eyebrow. He knew this guy too well. He didn't want to bring up the matter of him trying to climb up the ranks in the Heavenly Avenue. Miao Yi could tell that if he didn't let this guy down today, he wouldn't be in the mood to marry Xue Linglong.
However, this guy used to be Miao Yi's assistant. Not only was he good at flattery, he also had a way of doing things. Even though he was a little unscrupulous, Miao Yi had to admit that as long as it was a task, this guy would complete it. Besides, since he already asked, there was no need to hide the positions in the Commander Manor from him. Miao Yi then told him about the positions and his decision.
After learning that there was still a huge gap between him and the hundred thousand elites, Xu Tangran finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm still thinking about how to raise the ranks as a whole …" Miao Yi then told him about what Long Xin had told him. In the end, he nodded to Xu Tangran and said, "With your rank, it won't be a problem for you to take up a position in the Commander Manor. If you raise another rank, you'll have four segments of Purple Armor. That's enough for you to be a Vice Commander. If you can fight for a rank increase, Zhaoqing and the others won't be able to do it. You're the only one in the entire Commander Manor who's qualified. I'll report this to the Heavenly Valley Palace and try my best to help you get a Vice Commander position. "
