General!
Those two words seemed to have a magical power that made everyone hold their breaths.
"General? Is he really a General?" Someone said with a trembling voice.
Even Lu Guoqiang widened his eyes in shock. It was as if he had been struck by lightning.
General was the highest military rank in Hua at the moment.
Ever since the country was founded, there were only two hundred generals in the country, and there were only a few generals in active service.
Every general held great power in their hands, and they were super giants that could shake a region with their might!
Even an existence like Lu Guoqiang had to be extremely cautious when facing a general.
Generally speaking, the youngest person to be promoted from a Second Lieutenant to a General would be over sixty years old.
Furthermore, they wouldn't be given the rank without any qualifications or merits!
"Wasn't he a Major General just a while ago? How did he jump two ranks to become a General in the blink of an eye?"
Among the people present, many of them knew about Chen Xiao's identity as a Major General of Hua.
However, what shocked them the most wasn't the rank, but the fact that Chen Xiao wasn't even eighteen yet.
Although Major Generals were also rare, there were still a lot more of them than Generals.
But a General who wasn't even eighteen yet?
This achievement was unprecedented and probably no one would be able to achieve it in the future.
"Why is he being given the rank of General? And why is he being asked if he's willing to accept it?"
Someone bared his teeth, and the shock in his chest couldn't stop surging. This Chen Xiao was simply going to defy the heavens!
Lu Guoqiang and the others' faces turned pale.
At this moment, they recalled that Chen Xiao had said that he had annihilated the Primal Origin Sect.
At that time, they had mocked Chen Xiao for being ignorant and overestimating himself.
But now, it seemed that they were the ones who were ignorant!
"That's right. Only by destroying the Primal Chaos Sect will the government be willing to give him the rank of General!"
Lu Guoqiang's heart sank when he realized what was going on.
This was a reward and a way to rope him in.
With this military rank, no matter how daring the Lu Clan was, they wouldn't dare to openly attack a general.
Unless.
The Lu Family was confident that they could hide from the government's intelligence network and control a weapon that even the government would be wary of!
"Hmph, I'll let you be happy for a few more days. When Elder Tian comes out, it will be the end of Demon King Chen."
A vicious light flashed across Lu Guoqiang's old eyes.
The development of the situation tonight was far from what he had expected.
Not only did he fail to lock Demon King Chen in the Lu Family, he was forced to lower his head and even had to give a huge gift and publicly apologize for what happened back then.
Lu Guoqiang had no choice but to swallow his anger.
However, this didn't mean that he would continue to endure this insult.
All that was left … was an opportunity!
"General rank? Suit yourselves. "
At this moment, Chen Xiao nodded and casually took the military officer identification card and put it in his pocket.
When the crowd heard that, they felt dizzy.
After all, this is the highest military rank in China. How many people strive for this goal? Can't you act a little surprised?
Moreover, this was a military officer's ID that was personally delivered to his doorstep by the fourth chief of Hua!
Looking at Chen Xiao's posture, those who didn't know better would think that he had just lit a cigarette.
"No wonder he is Grandmaster Chen. Fame and fortune are nothing to him."
Zhao Jiangang, on the other hand, couldn't help but nod and exclaim, "Chen Xiao is a Grandmaster."
After that, Zhao Jiangang chatted for a while and was about to leave. Suddenly, a terrifying energy came from afar. It was as bright as a shooting star, emitting a fiery light. It tore the air apart and came crashing down!
"Who are you?!"
Chen Xiao raised his eyebrows. His voice was like a clap of thunder, creating ripples in the night sky.
Even though he had already sensed the person's presence with his Divine Will.
However, the person was too fast, several times the speed of sound. In the blink of an eye, he had appeared in the Lu Family's territory.
Even as Chen Xiao was about to make his move, an old voice suddenly rang out.
"Grandmaster Chen, there is no need to be cautious. I am Luo Xiangjun of the Luo Family, the founder of the Heavenly God Alliance. Tonight, I come with sincerity."
Everyone was shaken. Lu Yuanjun was even more shocked.
The founder of the Heavenly God Alliance had come to visit Chen Xiao in person?
This person was no less powerful than Zhao Weiwei. In some ways, he was even more powerful!
Even Zhao Jiangang himself couldn't help but reveal a strange expression.
Rumor had it that the founder of the Heavenly God Alliance had passed away a long time ago.
Boom!
The person finally landed on the ground. When the fiery light dissipated, an extremely old face was revealed.
"Your body condition …" Chen Xiao furrowed his brows.
He could sense that Luo Xiangjun meant no harm, but he could also sense that Luo Xiangjun's body was surging with vitality mixed with the Death Qi.
This was a sign that an extremely powerful being's life was coming to an end.
If it weren't for the fact that there was still a trace of vitality left in her, Luo Xiangjun would be no different from a dead person.
"Thank you for your concern, Grandmaster Chen. I know that I don't have much time left, so I want to see the genius of the Luo Family while I'm still breathing."
Luo Xiangjun smiled wryly and looked at Xiao Ke 'er.
After receiving Luo Qianxun's report, she broke the seal without hesitation and rushed to the Lu Family.
However, Luo Xiangjun was stunned by what she saw.
"This … This is impossible … How is this possible … It has been more than a hundred years …"
Although the girl in front of her had grown a lot, the image in her memory was still overlapping.
Xiao Ke 'er sensed her gaze and looked at Luo Xiangjun curiously.
Following that, a look of confusion and doubt appeared in the girl's eyes.
She took a step forward and murmured, "Are you … my mother?"
She had been frozen when she was four years old because of an injury, so her childhood memories were very vague.
Even so, Xiao Ke 'er still felt that the same blood was flowing in her body. The person in front of her seemed to be her blood relative!
"My dear daughter, is it really you?" Luo Xiangjun covered her mouth and her body was trembling.
Her reason told her that her daughter had died in the turmoil of the Mixed-Essence Sect a hundred years ago.
How could she appear in this place and at this time?
But the calling of her blood was so real that it kept shaking her mind.
"This is really … a coincidence."
Even Chen Xiao did not expect this to happen. The girl's mother did not die, but lived from a hundred years ago to this day!
But judging from her appearance, it was obvious that she had paid a great price to be able to do this.
"Master?" Little Ke 'er was at a loss, subconsciously looking at Chen Xiao.
"Little girl, she's your mother." Chen Xiao smiled and shook his head.
The confusion in the girl's eyes suddenly disappeared. She called out 'mother' sweetly, and Luo Xiangjun immediately looked at her with gratitude.
A short while later, Luo Xiangjun stood up and bowed to Chen Xiao under everyone's dumbfounded gaze.
"From today onwards, the Luo Family and the Empyrean Alliance will follow Chen Shi's lead!"
