"Hall Master, I'll do it!" Before Ling Dong could finish his sentence, a figure had already pounced on Special Envoy Pi Jianan!
When the voice rang out, Ling Dong didn't even need to lift his eyelids to know who it was. Who else could it be other than Cheng Dongyuan? Among the ten people present, the criminal army wouldn't move without Ling Dong's orders.
Cheng Dongyuan was the only one who could support Ling Dong in such a situation. Ji Yuanbai wanted to show off in front of Ling Dong, but his current situation was extremely bad. He didn't have the strength to do so.
On the other hand, the two Centurion Pingmiao and Jin Fu were shocked. They stared at Cheng Dongyuan with complicated expressions. Cheng Dongyuan was a Fourth Level Star Monarch. As long as Cheng Dongyuan attacked, Pitt's Envoy would definitely die.
However, the moment Cheng Dongyuan pounced, Cheng Dongyuan's voice rang out in Cheng Dongyuan's Spirit Consciousness. "Ling Dong, just restrain him. Leave him alive. I have a use for him!"
Actually, if he wanted to kill Pitt's Envoy, even if Ling Dong's physical body was completely destroyed, he would only need to use his Three Mystic Pupils to reward Pitt's Envoy with a First Level Mystic Light.
Ling Dong didn't need to rely on others at all. However, Ling Dong had some special reasons for doing so.
Cheng Dongyuan undoubtedly carried out Ling Dong's orders very thoroughly. He didn't kill Pitt's Envoy when he pounced. Instead, he used a few unique techniques to restrain Pitt's Envoy. Cheng Dongyuan kicked him to the ground.
After that, Cheng Dongyuan cupped his hands slightly to Ling Dong and retreated to the side. Ling Dong didn't say anything. The atmosphere in the conference hall immediately became strange. Only Special Envoy Pi Jianan's constant struggling and groaning could be heard. It was as annoying as a fly.
This strange silence made some people uneasy, especially Pingmiao and Jin Fu. As they looked at each other, they kept scanning the faces of the people in the hall from the corner of their eyes, as if they wanted to see something.
However, all they saw was Ling Dong's slightly strange smile.
"Thank you for your trouble, Cheng. I still say the same thing. Who will get rid of this villain for me?" Ling Dong said this sentence again.
Ling Dong's words made everyone frown. Before the two Centurion, Pingmiao and Jin Fu, could react, the heavily injured Ji Yuanbai had already forcefully raised his Qi and strode out. Blood and Qi floated around his body, and a murderous aura overflowed. "Hall Master, I will get rid of this villain for you!"
This situation shocked the restrained Pitt's Envoy greatly. Looking at Ji Yuanbai, who was covered in wounds, rushing towards him, Pitt's Envoy's expression twisted. A trace of urine floated out from under his body.
"Thank you for your trouble, Ji. Ji's bravery has already been witnessed by Ling. Moreover, Ji is seriously injured and shouldn't suffer any more injuries. Please rest at the side." Ling Dong lay on the stretcher and stopped Ji Yuanbai from attacking.
Ji Yuanbai was stunned and looked at Ling Dong with some confusion. Then, he saw the deep smile in Ling Dong's eyes and the gaze he cast at Pingmiao and Jin Fu. He was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood something.
"Thank you for your understanding, Hall Master." After bowing slightly, Ji Yuanbai suddenly patted his chest. "However, please rest assured, Hall Master. Even if this old man's injuries were ten times worse, this old man would still be able to charge and break through enemy lines for Hall Master!" When he finished speaking, he returned to Ling Dong's side. Having understood Ling Dong's intentions, he also cast an indistinct glance at Pingmiao and Jin Fu.
Having lived for so long, Ji Yuanbai finally understood that Palace Master Ling Ling Dong was using Special Envoy Pi Jianan to get Pingmiao and Jin Fu, the two Centurion, to prove their loyalty.
The situation in the conference hall once again fell into an eerie silence. Only Ling Dong, Ji Yuanbai, and Cheng Dongyuan's gazes were vaguely sweeping over Special Envoy Pi Jianan, who was being restrained.
Seeing this, no matter how stupid Pingmiao and Jin Fu were, they understood what was going on. They understood that Hall Master Ling Dong was asking them to prove their loyalty.
However, killing a Special Envoy from the Supervisory Headquarters was a capital offense in the Tenmu Temple. Once they took action, unless they left the Tenmu Temple, they would be tied to Ling Dong for every day they stayed in the Tenmu Temple.
This made them somewhat indecisive.
"Hall Master, why didn't Qin Centurion and Chang Centurion come back together this time?" Jin Fu, who couldn't make up his mind, asked tentatively.
Ling Dong's face suddenly revealed a trace of seriousness. "Qin Centurion and Chang Centurion have already shown their loyalty to the Tenmu Temple and died on the spot! It's a pity that my abilities are limited. Even though I fought to this extent, I only managed to save Ji. I didn't even manage to save their Star Souls! "
Ling Dong's reply made Jin Fu's heart turn cold. When he thought about Yuanzhou Sub-prefecture Governor Gongsun Zhanyi's instructions, he instantly understood.
However, before he could understand, a furious roar had already sounded in the conference hall.
"I'm here to get rid of the traitor for the Hall Master!" Amidst the furious roar, Pingmiao's figure flashed. He held the Gang Blade in his hand and stepped on Pitt's Envoy, who was restrained, until he stood upright. The Gang Blade in his hand slashed across fiercely, and a head flew up. Blood spurted out from the skull and splashed onto Pingmiao and Jin Fu, who were nearby.
After being splashed by Pitt's Envoy's hot blood, Jin Fu suddenly quivered and reacted. He hurriedly shouted, "I'm here to get rid of the traitor for the Hall Master too!"
Pitt's Envoy's head had already been chopped off. Jin Fu could only aim at the Star Soul that Pitt's Envoy had just escaped from his body. For this reason, he even kicked away Centurion Pingmiao, who was about to finish off Pitt's Envoy's Star Soul as well.
Pingmiao was also happy to see this situation. Having someone to support him was better than having nothing. His figure flashed, and he sent the Star Soul that Pitt's Envoy had just escaped to Jin Fu, who was rushing over.
Majestic Spirit fluctuations rose in the conference hall. Jin Fu's crimson Spirit power surged out like a tide and attacked Pitt's Envoy's Star Soul that was still at the peak of the Golden Soul Stage.
After a few breaths, the Spirit fluctuations dissipated and a spark exploded. Pitt's Envoy, who had been insufferably arrogant just a moment ago, was no longer in this world, leaving not a single trace of his existence.
Seeing this, Ling Dong chuckled. "Centurion and Jin Fu are indeed worthy of being this Hall Master's capable subordinates."
Ling Dong's praise made Pingmiao and Jin Fu feel a little uncomfortable. Anyone who reluctantly handed over a proof of allegiance would not be happy. However, Ling Dong had already expected this.
If he wanted to completely control the Yangkou branch hall, these two Centurion had to be subdued. That way, the benefits to both the Ling family and Ling Dong would be too great.
"Cheng, the two Centurion have done a meritorious deed by eliminating traitors. Although they did not participate in the battle, from the spoils of war this time, we will allocate 200,000 mid-grade Reiki to the two Centurion and reward them equally. This is to show that we are fair in our rewards and punishments!" Ling Dong instructed.
Hearing this, Pingmiao and Jin Fu's eyes revealed a hint of joy. Although 100,000 mid-grade Reiki was not an astronomical figure to them, it was still quite a lot. But most importantly, this represented Ling Dong's attitude, an attitude that rewards meritorious deeds. At least, it made them feel that they had not followed the wrong person and that following Ling Dong still had a future.
"Yes, Hall Master!" Cheng Dongyuan replied.
"The brothers who survived this battle will each be rewarded with 10,000 mid-grade Reiki for their medical expenses and for fighting to the death. In addition, how does the front hall compensate the brothers who died in the battle? "Ling Dong asked.
Cheng Dongyuan thought for a moment and said, "Hall Master, the compensation for the brothers who died in the battle is different according to their cultivation level. For the first stage of the Star Realm, 1,000 mid-grade Reiki. Based on the cultivation level, 10,000 mid-grade Reiki for the peak of the ninth stage. For the Constellation Realm, 12,000 mid-grade Reiki is the starting point, and the increment is 2,000 for each stage. For the peak of the ninth stage, 30,000 mid-grade Reiki is the starting point. "Cheng Dongyuan replied.
"Only 30,000 mid-grade Reiki for the peak of the ninth stage of the Constellation Realm? For a warrior to cultivate to the peak of the Constellation Realm, it costs more than 30,000! Cheng Dongyuan, pass on my order. For the brothers who died in the battle, double the compensation without delay! If the spoils of war and the Hall Master's Reiki are insufficient, I will make up for it! "Ling Dong said.
Cheng Dongyuan was stunned and then bowed. Ling Dong said, "On behalf of the four hundred brothers of the Yangkou branch hall, I thank you, Hall Master." At the same time, the remaining two hundred Centurion, Pingmiao, and Jin Fu also bowed solemnly to Ling Dong.
In the Tenmu Temple, warriors were only valuable if they were alive. A living warrior at the peak of the Constellation Realm could earn at least 30,000 to 40,000 mid-grade Reiki a year. But if they were dead, they were worthless.
Now, Ling Dong was willing to double the compensation. Although it wasn't much, they were already very touched. He had taken care of his subordinates for a long time, so he had feelings for them.
Not long after, Cheng Dongyuan went to the martial arts practice field outside and announced the news. The martial arts practice field immediately burst into thunderous cheers.
The living were happy, and the living were happy for the dead!
"Cheng Dongyuan, when we returned to the city, we had already killed the Life and Death Tower's Tower Master, Murong Gong, and the Life and Death Tower's Chief Tower Elder, and the warriors of the Life and Death Tower have been scattered and defeated. Now, I have a mission for the three of you! "Ling Dong said.
"Please speak, Hall Master!" Cheng Dongyuan, Pingmiao, and Jin Fu bowed at the same time.
Ling Dong's face suddenly became serious. "Pingmiao, Jin Fu, listen up. The two of you immediately lead the troops of the headquarters to clean up the remnants of the Life and Death Tower's Yangkou branch. Anyone who doesn't surrender will be killed! In addition, Cheng Dongyuan, Zhan Xiong, and Zhan Xiong I will assist from the side. "
After giving the order, Ling Dong said to Pingmiao and Jin Fu indifferently, "Centurion, don't worry. If you can make contributions, although I can't give you a spot in the 'Martial Arts Practice Hall', it's not a big deal to let your cultivation break through to the Star Monarch realm. Heh, it will depend on your performance!"
Hearing this, Pingmiao and Jin Fu's eyes suddenly shot out of ecstasy. If the 100,000 mid-grade Reiki was just a consolation, then Ling Dong's promise was a big sweet date.
"Really?" Jin Fu was a little doubtful!
Ling Dong just waved his hand at the four criminal soldiers and said, "Whether you believe it or not, just look at them. A few months ago, they were still at the Constellation realm!"
Pingmiao and Jin Fu looked at each other and shouted happily, "We dare not die for the Hall Master!"
For the dead, a breakthrough in cultivation was always the most precious thing!
After saying this, Ling Dong nodded, and Pingmiao and Jin Fu strode out of the meeting hall. Cheng Dongyuan followed closely behind.
"Ji, I'll have to trouble you to escort me back to the Ling family to heal." After saying this, Ling Dong closed his eyes, somewhat tired. In his mind, the Life and Death Tower, the Tenmu Temple's monitoring headquarters, the Yuanzhou sub-region, and the almost unified but unjustified order from the three parties circled around in Ling Dong's mind.
Who exactly were they looking for?
What kind of existence could make the monitoring headquarters of the Taihō Palace, the Life and Death Tower, and the Tenmu Temple issue the same strange order with no benefits? (To be continued.
