As expected, Wei Chou readily agreed to Qin Lei's transfer, and immediately changed from Tiger Guard to Eagle Guard. His salary was reduced by a lot, but he did not seem to mind it at all.
In the afternoon, Lin Muyu rode his horse back to Temple alone.
"Master, you're back!?"
A few Temple Guards looked at him excitedly. The news of Lin Muyu being exiled to Tong Tian Tower had long been known by everyone. Now that they saw Lin Muyu coming back alive, everyone was naturally surprised.
After entering Temple, everything was the same as before. A group of sparring masters and instructors were focused on training. Only one person led his horse and met Lin Muyu face to face. It was none other than Zhang Wei.
"Zhang Wei, where are you going?" Lin Muyu was surprised.
Zhang Wei looked at him in surprise, but then he scratched his head and laughed: "Master Lin Muyu, you're back … Unfortunately, I, Old Zhang, have to leave. I just received my orders yesterday, I have to leave Temple."
"Where are you going to work?"
"Imperial Guard Commander Feng Jixing personally recommended me to be a Brigadier General in the Imperial Guard. It should be around the rank of a Thousand Men Commander!"
"Then congratulations!"
Lin Muyu smiled: "This can be considered as a promotion."
Zhang Wei felt a little helpless, and laughed: "Actually, I still prefer working in Temple. I am too straightforward. If I go to the Imperial Guard, I don't know how many people I will offend because of my personality!"
Lin Muyu patted his chest and said: "Look, didn't I also leave Temple and join the Imperial Guard?"
"You're different. You're still a member of Temple."
Zhang Wei looked back at the row of side halls with some reluctance, and said: "I have left Temple forever, and will be a member of the Imperial Guard from now on, sigh …"
Lin Muyu patted his shoulder: "No problem, you and I will always be friends. You're welcome to visit Temple anytime."
"En!"
Zhang Wei nodded his head: "Then I'm leaving!"
"Alright, we might meet again when we have time."
"That's right, I'm leaving!"
Zhang Wei led his horse and quietly left. Looking at his back, he seemed a little lonely.
…
Lin Muyu tied up the horse, carried the Prairie Fire Sword and went straight to the main hall of the Divine Temple. She saw Ge Yang from afar on the waterside pavilion corridor, smiled and said: "Good afternoon, Deacon Ge Yang."
"Yu is back?" Ge Yang said with a smile, "The Great Deacon was right. You will definitely return to the Holy Temple again. Come, I will take you to him!"
"Alright!"
Inside the Grand Hall, Lei Hong placed his hand on the lion's head on the Grand Deacon's seat. His eyes shined as he smiled, "Yu, quickly tell your Grandfather about your experiences in Skysplit Tower."
Lin Muyu respectfully recounted everything that happened in Skysplit Tower. She did not mention the Seven Luminaries Demon Emperor, but Lei Hong and Ge Yang were still dumbfounded. After a while, Ge Yang sighed, "I didn't expect Qin Hong to still be alive in Skysplit Tower. He should be hundreds of years old …"
Lei Hong narrowed his eyes and said, "He has not stepped into the Divine Realm, so he did not obtain the power of immortality. Living like this is just a struggle at death's door. If it were me, I would rather die than make such a despicable deal with a demon from Purgatory."
Ge Yang smiled, "It's great that Yu can come back alive! Oh right, Yu, you should have some matters to attend to in the Divine Temple, right? "
"Yes."
Lin Muyu nodded, then adjusted the armor on her shoulder. She smiled and said, "This Eagle Guard armor is really uncomfortable to wear, so I still want to ask Grandpa Lei Hong for a few sets of Holy Sanctum armor. I wonder if I still have the custom-made armor. The last set has already been melted when I transmigrated to the Realm."
Lei Hong could not help but smile, "So that's why? Well, I've already prepared it for you. Men, bring in Yu's Divine Temple Gold Star Sparring Master battle armor. "
The door opened, and two Divine Temple guards walked in, each holding a set of Divine Temple battle armor. The Gold Star Sparring Master insignia on the chest of the armor shone brightly.
Lei Hong smiled, "I ordered someone to make this armor. It's made of Millennium Darksteel and embedded with Buoyancy Gems. It can reduce the pressure you have to bear when wearing it. Quickly try it on."
"Okay!"
Lin Muyu excitedly took out a set of armor and went into the inner hall to change. Immediately, she was full of energy again, and there were a total of eight black gems embedded around the armor. These were the Buoyancy Gems that Lei Hong mentioned. The entire set of armor weighed at least a hundred pounds, but when wearing it, it did not seem to weigh more than fifty pounds. This set of armor was indeed a treasure. He was overjoyed, and hurriedly cupped his fists, "Thank you, Grandpa Lei Hong, I really like this set of armor."
"As long as you like it!"
Lei Hong lightly stroked his white beard, and said proudly, "This is made by our Divine Temple's skilled craftsmen, it's famous … Oh right, Yu, didn't you apply to become an Eagle Guard? When are you going to the Eagle's Nest? "
"I'll go in the afternoon."
"Okay, then Grandpa will not keep you. Every Eagle Guard mission is risky, you have to be careful!"
"Yes, then Grandpa will go?"
"Okay!"
Ge Yang sent him out, and sighed as he walked: "Yu, now that you've left, Zhang Wei has also left. Now, our Divine Temple has once again returned to that state of withering talents. It seems that in the entire Divine Temple's younger generation, only Young Prince Qin Yan looks decent."
Lin Muyu smiled slightly: "Young Prince Qin Yan is naturally intelligent, and is a talent that can be molded. With proper nurturing, he can become a top notch expert."
"Yes, in any case, Yu, when you have time, you should come back to the Divine Temple to take a look."
"En, okay, Grandpa Ge Yang!"
… …
After that, he made a trip to the Spiritual Medicine Department, and after bidding farewell to Chu Yao, he went to the Eagle's Nest.
The so-called Eagle's Nest was actually a facility set up outside of Lanyan City. It had two main functions, one was to directly provide the Empire's Ze Tian Palace with some important intelligence, and the second was to send experts into the deep mountains to hunt high level Spirit Beasts, to provide the Ze Tian Palace with rare beasts' Spirit Stones, meat, etc. Every autumn, the Eagle's Nest would be very busy, preparing food for the winter.
After leaving the city, he galloped along the small path for a few li, and from afar, he could see a camp built on a mountain ridge adjacent to Lanyan City. It was the Eagle's Nest. The Eagle's Nest was a newly built department, and belonged to the Imperial Army. The camp was very simple, and the central army was built from a Mountain Deity Temple. The rest of the camps were all tents, and some of the more simple ones were built with grass and wood. It was no wonder that Feng Jixing and Qin Lei said that the Eagle Guards lived a tough life.
There were not many soldiers stationed at the Eagle's Nest, and there were less than two hundred of them, and among them, 110 were Lin Muyu's subordinates.
They galloped along the mountain path, and not long after, Wei Chou came up to welcome them. He gave a straight Empire's military salute, and said, "General, the Commander is already waiting for you in the central army. Come quickly!"
"Lead the way."
"Yes!"
They galloped all the way into the Eagle's Nest. Lin Muyu led the way, and when she looked down, she realized that the place was very steep. The camp was built on the cliff, and it looked like a bird's nest at the top of a tree. It was no wonder that this organization was called the Eagle's Nest.
There were seven centurions in the Eagle's Nest, and one of them was the Commander of the Eagle's Nest. Lin Muyu was one of the seven centurions, and the Commander was a man called Meng Fang. It was said that Meng Fang's ancestor was a famous general, but after a few thousand years, he was no longer known. A mere Commander of a Thousand Men Commander, how could he be considered a famous general?
After entering the central tent, Lin Muyu cupped her fists and said, "Lin Muyu pays her respects to the commander!"
Meng Fang was a man around forty years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He laughed and stood up, saying, "Lord Lin Muyu is finally here. Hurry up and take a seat, your arrival is like a timely rain!"
"What do you mean?" Lin Muyu asked after sitting down.
Meng Fang muttered to himself with some distress, and said, "Half a month ago, the Ze Tian Palace gave us a winter mission. We need two fire spirit stones over four thousand years old, one rock spirit stone over five thousand years old, one light spirit stone over five thousand years old, twenty cloud deer over one thousand years old, a hundred swift wolf pelts over five hundred years old, ten fire fox pelts over one thousand years old, and a wild boar over one thousand kilograms. They said that it was for the priests at the end of the year ceremony."
Lin Muyu was a little dizzy from listening to this, and said with a smile, "That's a lot of missions, how many have we completed?"
Meng Fang coughed and smiled a little awkwardly, "Out of the seven centurions, four have entered the Cangnan Province to carry out a reconnaissance mission. Of the remaining two, one was seriously injured in the battle to kill a six thousand year old Rock Goat, and the other is carrying out a mission to kill a swift wolf. So, the only person I can use now is you."
"Then when do I set off?"
"The sooner the better!"
Meng Fang looked in the direction of Lanyan City and said, "Actually, I won't hide it from you, the two fire spirit stones are prepared for Princess Xi, the five thousand year old rock spirit stone is prepared for Young Prince Qin Yan, and the five thousand year old light spirit stone is prepared for Her Highness Yin. I know that General Lin actually knows all of them, so you are the most suitable person to carry out this mission."
As he said this, Meng Fang coughed and said, "To be honest, among the generals of the Eagle's Nest, your strength is the strongest. If I send someone else to hunt a spirit beast over five thousand years old, I'm very worried that they won't be able to protect themselves …"
"Mm, got it."
Lin Muyu stood up, cupped her fists and said with a smile, "Commander, how many people do you intend to give me?"
"Fifty people, including ten Imperial Guards with Earth Realm strength. What do you think?"
"Alright, thank you."
"You're welcome. I wish General Lin victory!"
…
After leaving the central tent, Wei Chou frowned and said, "General, the commander is obviously bullying us new Eagle Guards. He actually gave us the entire winter hunting mission. I clearly saw many Imperial Guards playing chess, hunting, and so on in the camp. Why did he make us do such dangerous and hard work? How despicable!"
Lin Muyu shushed him and said with a smile, "Lower your voice, just treat it as the most capable people doing more work! Go and select the elite troops, we will set off in the evening and enter the Dragon Seeking Forest through the night. Bring enough supplies, just treat it as self-training. "
"Yes!"
