Chapter 219: Promotion to the Patrol Commander of the Demon Suppressing Bureau
Chapter 219: Promotion to the Patrol Commander of the Demon Suppressing Bureau
"What's the matter? Have you finally figured it out, or has something else happened in Qingzhou?"
Wu Daoan walked ahead, unhurried.
He had previously reminded the other party that the path of cultivation was far more arduous than the youth could imagine, and a thousand years seemed long, but in reality, it was just a fleeting moment.
For cultivators, longevity was always the most precious thing.
What surprised him was that Shen Yi's realization came much faster than he had anticipated.
"If it's about Qingzhou, there's no need to speak. Even if you are a disciple of the Martial Temple..."
"A probationary disciple," Shen Yi said softly.
"I understand!" Wu Daoan turned back with a reluctant expression. This young man was truly incomprehensible. For others, becoming a true disciple of the Martial Temple was a result of their ancestors' hard work and luck. Yet, instead of climbing the ladder, this person had actually taken the initiative to remind him.
It was truly absurd.
"Even if you are a probationary disciple of the Martial Temple, we still don't have the spare capacity."
Wu Daoan was telling the truth. Although their group of Martial Immortals had a higher cultivation realm than the Nine Provinces Commander, they couldn't display overwhelming dominance against Demon Kings without condensing their Golden Bodhimanda. If they were to engage in a stalemate, it would instead leave the Martial Temple's defense vulnerable.
If there were free time, he wouldn't mind asking a few Grandmasters to assist, considering Shen Yi's talent.
But at the moment, there was no one available.
"Qingzhou is temporarily fine," Shen Yi shook his head.
"..." Wu Daoan glanced at him silently, feeling a bit more puzzled.
No issues? If there were truly no problems, how could General Jiangan end up in such a miserable state?
He had thought that Shen Yi was sent to the Imperial City for refuge.
The two stepped into a courtyard, and before they could sit down, someone hurried in, "Sir Wu, General Jiangan has submitted his report and requests your review."
Wu Daoan paused slightly, noticing a detail in the person's words.
Before General Jiangan's name, there was a missing title.
He reached out to take the report, but the person in front of him first saluted him and then looked at Shen Yi beside him, smiling, "General Shen, nice to meet you."
Shen Yi returned the greeting with a cupped fist.
"Hmm?"
Wu Daoan casually flipped through the report and glanced at the youth with interest, "So, you've been promoted to Commander."
Even though he didn't hold the Demon Suppressing Bureau in high regard, he was still a bit surprised.
The last time he was here, the person was already the youngest Demon Suppressing General that Wu Daoan had ever seen. Now, in just two or three months, he had become the youngest Commander of the Nine Provinces.
After reading the report word for word, Wu Daoan's expression remained unchanged. He waved his hand to dismiss the person from the Demon Suppressing Bureau, "Bring General Jiangan in. I'll see him later."
When only the two of them were left in the courtyard, the old man in the blue robe calmly sat down on the bamboo chair and patted his robe, "You Long Tao took over his position as Commander, but you were temporarily assigned to fill in for a while. If I'm not mistaken, you consumed something you shouldn't have."
"It's written vaguely, do you take me for a fool?"
Wu Daoan looked up and coldly snorted.
General Jiangan couldn't defeat the Demon King, and both were severely injured. At this point, someone needed to step up and finish the job.
Obviously, Shen Yi's formidable talent allowed him to completely absorb the Golden Body's aura, something unheard of in the history of Great Qian. With sufficient Incense Fire Wish Power, breaking through the realm was only natural.
After General Jiangan was severely injured, he handed over the Commander's Jade Talisman to Shen Yi without the Martial Temple's permission, using the youth's hand to slay the heavily injured Moonhowling Demon King.
And to avoid the Martial Temple's blame, he had prepared this report.
"In times of urgency, we can't be inflexible," Wu Daoan gestured for the youth to sit down.
"..."
Shen Yi's eyes showed a hint of admiration. As expected of a temple priest serving the Golden Body, he was as wise as the old ancestor of the Martial Temple.
The prepared excuse was now unnecessary.
He sat down casually opposite him.
"Don't be ridiculous, I'm a Martial Temple Disciple... a Probationary Disciple, and I still need to represent Qingzhou in place of the Commander."
Wu Daoan raised an eyebrow, and as expected, the other party was rendered speechless.
He said indifferently, "Since you're back, then diligently cultivate your Shadow Soul Technique. As for the title of enjoying the Incense Fire Wish Power, the Demon Suppressing Bureau still has a vacancy for a Deputy Patrol Commander, so you can take that position for now."
"What is a Patrol Commander?" Shen Yi's expression remained unchanged.
"It's the Deputy Patrol Commander." Wu Daoan finally found an opportunity to regain his composure and smiled with satisfaction. "Above the Commander of the Nine Provinces, there is a Patrol Commander, and beneath them are two Deputy Patrol Commanders, who are in charge of the Central Office of the Demon Suppressing Bureau."
"Logically speaking, the Patrol Commander should be a Primordial Chaos Realm martial artist, responsible for inspecting the Nine Provinces and solving demon plagues for various places. You don't meet the requirements."
After giving a favor, it's only natural to explain the reason, otherwise, with the youth's attitude, he might think it's only fair.
The elder looked at him, "However, the Patrol Commander is not currently in Dagan, and both Deputy Commanders have unfortunately perished. The position has been vacant until now, and you happen to be from the Demon Suppressing Bureau. Moreover, you've slain a Demon King, so you don't need to manage affairs. It's not a bad rule to just have the title and enjoy the Incense Fire Wish Power."
"Of course, if you're bored and want to sit in the office, that's up to you. But when you face those generals and commanders seeking aid, don't feel useless and lose face."
"Understood."
Shen Yi listened quietly.
Suddenly, he looked towards the distant Martial Temple with a hint of sentiment.
It had been a long time since he had enjoyed such treatment. It was like being extremely hungry, and the elder had filled the table with chicken, duck, fish, and meat, and finally served drinks, fearing he might choke.
"Alright, come with me to meet General Jiangan. After meeting him, you can also go and greet your fellow disciples."
Wu Daoan slowly stood up, "Although it's called the Martial Temple, it's no different from an Immortal Sect. Those are also your half-senior martial brothers and sisters. In the future, if you have any questions about cultivation, and if I'm not around, you can seek their guidance."
"Thank you, Sir Wu," Shen Yi also stood up.
"There's no need to address me as 'Sir' anymore. If you respect me, just call me Brother Wu."
Wu Daoan's eyes softened, and he finally let this Heaven's Pride enter. This was the Martial Temple's fortune.
The two strode towards the outside.
"..."
The bewildered Jiangan was led into a room, his face filled with confusion.
Soon after, he saw the missing Shen Yi, and the elder in front of her was wearing a Qing Shan, none other than the Temple Priest Wu Daoan.
"Jiangan pays his respects to Sir Wu."
As a Shadow Soul Technique cultivator, the elder was an Upper Rank Immortal Warrior, and Jiangan knew that he could see him, so he dared not be impolite.
After finishing the salute, he secretly signaled to Shen Yi.
He was told to wait outside, but in the blink of an eye, she had met someone from the Martial Temple before him. He was a little worried that she might let something slip.
After all, although Shen Yi was powerful, she didn't seem to be good with words.
"Why are you squinting and winking? You only know how to salute me, but when you see your superior, you become mute?"
Wu Daoan glared at him.
"Superior?"
Jiangan looked at Shen Yi in surprise and saw her quietly nodding at him, understanding that she was reminding him that the matter had already been explained.
But... how did she get promoted?
Not to mention that she hadn't even claimed credit for her achievements, even if she took all the credit, how could she possibly hold that position?
Above the Commander, where else could there be another position? It could only be the Patrol Commander.
Could it be that she exposed her Primordial Master's strength?!
It's important to know that achieving the Primordial Chaos Realm is not limited to Shen Yi; there's also Qiulan in Qingzhou. If this matter were exposed, it would undoubtedly bring many troubles.
Jiangan took a deep breath, suppressing the worry in his heart, and bowed respectfully, "Jiangan of Qingzhou pays his respects to the Patrol Commander."
