Chapter 103: Chapter 90: A Promise Worth a Thousand Gold! [Three Updates!]

Linjiang Square.

Great Commander Wang Yuan, looking at the Green Phoenix Seal in his hand, had eyes filled with intense ardor.

This was a wooden seal, carved from a trunk pruned by the Wutong Divine Mother.

The Wutong Divine Mother is a divine spirit that protects Qifeng Prefecture City, ranking even vaguely above Liu Venerate.

Merely with this Green Phoenix Seal alone, one could deter powerful evil spirits lurking in the darkness!

Even if submerged in darkness, aside from ferocious-level evil spirits or beasts that could be considered great demons, ordinary evil entities dared not approach him.

Even the ferocious evil spirits and demon-level beasts would not easily strike at someone possessing the Green Phoenix Seal.

Such was the prestige of the Wutong Divine Mother!

More importantly, this Green Phoenix Seal was the glory of his lifetime!

He who obtained this seal could truly be called a hero of the Human Clan!

"Even the ’Bright Night Divine Lamp’ of Liu Venerate himself isn’t as useful as the Green Phoenix Seal."

Wang Yuan thought this as his gaze fell upon the Heavenly Sun Divine Pill beside him.

The Wutong Temple in Qifeng Prefecture City had a kind of Heavenly Sun Talisman, capable of stimulating Qi-Blood.

But the Heavenly Sun Divine Pill, made of special materials and extremely precious, surpassed thousands of Heavenly Sun Talismans.

If consumed, within three days, Qi-Blood could be restored to its peak.

After this award ceremony, he planned to begin seclusion, using the Heavenly Sun Divine Pill to restore his Refining Essence Realm to its towering might!

And he would have the assistance of a Qi gathering Treasure Bead from the City Guard Mansion!

In the last thirty years, he had diligently studied the principle of "Qi Refinement", repeatedly delving into its depth in his heart.

"Upon entering seclusion tomorrow, and emerging three days later, I shall surely ascend to the ranks of the Qi Refining Realm!"

Wang Yuan’s eyes shone with brilliance, and he silently thought, "I haven’t lived in vain to forsake my pride and betray my conscience to collude with Tribulation Ash for this day!"

He took a deep breath and thought to himself, "Zhao Zhou my brother, I wronged you, but I knew that in your heart, you too would hope for another Qi Refiner in the Human Clan!"

"After emerging from seclusion this time, I will go to the Liu Venerate Temple to worship you."

"In the years to come, as your brother, I will dedicate myself fully to clearing away Tribulation Ash, wholeheartedly guarding our city, and once again becoming the brother you held in your heart, becoming the new backbone of the Human Clan!"

Thinking thus, Wang Yuan thought back to that day, and couldn’t help but sigh.

He felt the impulse to kill, but ultimately wasn’t able to go through with it.

He could have sent Zhao Zhou to the slaughterhouse to become a sacrifice, yet he genuinely could not bring himself to personally slay this sworn brother who had fought side by side with him since youth.

As the years had passed, now advanced in age, his old friends had withered away, with only two or three left.

In his moment of hesitancy, it was Zhao Zhou who took the initiative to speak, willing to bury this matter in his heart forever, only hoping that his comrade as the City Guard Commander would treat their descendants kindly.

Thus, Wang Yuan did not plan to secretly silence the Flag Commander of Linjiang Station anymore.

In his heart, this Flag Commander of Linjiang Station likely hadn’t detected any clues.

Otherwise, today would not have been so calm.

"As a brother, Zhao Zhou really still cared for me."

Wang Yuan closed his eyes slightly.

Though he was unable to carry out the execution by himself.

As long as Zhao Zhou lived, he could not rest easy.

Zhao Zhou most likely understood this as well, which was why he had taken his own life, to avoid putting him in a difficult position.

He sighed, opened the door, and walked out.

"City Guard Commander, the two from Qifeng Prefecture City are not in Linjiang Square." A man approached from not far away, his expression anxious, and he spoke in a low voice: "The people from the inner city are also not here."

"Hmm?" Wang Yuan frowned and said, "Send someone to find them and ask them to come over..."

"The time is almost upon us." The man couldn’t help but speak quietly, "This event is meant to inspire morale and unite the people’s hearts. Various forces and civilians from Linjiang Square have gathered... The time set was this moment, should we postpone it?"

"No need."

Wang Yuan frowned and said, "The few who are receiving titles from me today hold high positions and know the importance of this event, so they will likely arrive soon."

He said this, but in his heart, he believed that all the rewards had already been secured.

This award ceremony was merely to make a show in front of everyone, a mere formality.

If not for the fact that this award ceremony was vital for boosting morale, and Qifeng Prefecture held it in high regard, he would have been just as pleased to cancel this so-called ceremony.

He would much prefer to bypass these elaborate processes and immediately enter seclusion today to make a breakthrough into the Qi Refining Realm.

As long as he could complete the final step of Qi Refinement!

That would be the greatest fame!

That would be the highest honor!

By then, standing here, he would be at the grandest ceremony, offering the greatest inspiration to the people, and regarded in the eyes of various forces as the most steadfast pillar!

"Then I’ll have someone go look for them!"

"Go ahead."

Wang Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, declaring boldly, "There’s no need for delay, let everything proceed as originally planned!"

——

At the defensive garrison.

Wu Chang, the Flag Commander of Linjiang Station, was standing vigil for the Great Commander.

However, he was practicing cultivation at the side, even took a medicinal bath in the process.

Afterward, next to the Great Commander’s coffin, he reviewed the \documents related to the slaughterhouse case in detail.

This only increased the dissatisfaction among the city defense soldiers who were already displeased with him.

"Is this how he shows his sincerity for a vigil?"

"Is he switching places to practice cultivation or to execute official duties?"

"Despite the Great Commander giving his life for him."

"Truly gifted, already at the peak of internal strength at such a young age, but far too insolent in front of the Great Commander’s coffin."

The voices outside, Lin Yan heard them clearly.

He finished his cultivation, his eyes slightly closed.

Name: Lin Yan.
