Chapter 174: Citizens Cannot Be Slaves

Over ten minutes later,

Jiang Ding arrived at the central area of the Eastern Group Army.

Walking along the way, the defense was strict; not only was there a tank patrolling and maneuvering every five hundred meters, but many places also had high-concealment Dao soldier units protecting them.

Walking to the military department position, here were all Dao soldiers from small and medium sects like the Tianhai Sect, Chongshan Sect, and Jin Jia Sect, in groups of one hundred, all Qi Condensation mid-late stage cultivators, distributed at intervals of fifty meters, adept at forming formations for defense.

One hundred people joining hands to cast spells could withstand a Foundation Establishment early-stage cultivator for several seconds.

As for Foundation Establishment realm Dao soldiers, there were none.

The vast majority of the Immortal Sect's resources were used to cultivate Immortal Sect citizens, and it was already not easy to afford some Dao soldiers of the same or lower tier with the remaining few resources.

It was impossible to cultivate a large number of existences one tier higher than Immortal Sect citizens; no family foundation could withstand such squandering.

Unless Immortal Sect citizens were largely degenerate and truly unbearable to cultivate, they had to drink poison to quench their thirst under huge pressure from the outside world.

This kind of thing had also appeared in the history of the Immortal Sect before.

Three thousand Dao soldiers, thirty Foundation Establishment combat powers.

The standing position was relatively dense, enough to withstand the vast majority of Foundation Establishment cultivators for at least several seconds.

It was just a pity that the combat power of the Profound Martial Heaven Palace core true disciple faintly surpassed the peak of Foundation Establishment, approaching the Golden Core realm, and these were not enough.

Eighteen hundred meters, one thousand meters, eight hundred meters!

"Aim!"

"You are an hour late!"

Xu Jianian in the central army camp was startled, looking in Jiang Ding's direction, almost summoning the artillery group for bombardment; remembering that he had reported it in advance, he stopped, displeased.

"Although some results were obtained, these results are worthless compared to my safety!"

"You should have rushed to me at all costs long ago!"

Jiang Ding couldn't be bothered to pay attention to him, directly asking.

"Where are my subordinate units."

Even if he had rushed over faster, he couldn't have caught up with the Profound Martial Heaven Palace core true disciple's attack; this anger was meaningless.

Besides, his emphasis on his own safety was correct.

But it was somewhat too self-centered; it seemed that it was natural and justified for others to sacrifice for him.

"Disrespectful, offending superiors!"

Xu Jianian's anger flashed.

But there was no good way; this was an Immortal Sect unit, not some warlord's private army; as long as military law was not violated, he couldn't do anything to subordinate officers.

Not just him, including Jiang Ding.

Even though some people still called him Great Sun Sword Child after he had expressed many times not to call him that, he couldn't do anything.

No one could.

"Xu Da... Xu San Xu Si... Xu Qi, and the 8th to 30th Dao soldier squads, send a deputy squad leader over."

Xu Jianian snorted coldly.

"Xu Da... Xu Qi, are these people all people you brought?"

Jiang Ding instinctively sensed something.

Uncontrollable violent killing intent flooded from his heart bit by bit, but his expression didn't change in the slightest, even becoming a bit more amiable.

"They are all Xu family-born servants born in the Xu realm."

Xu Jianian said proudly: "Subordinates who grew up with me, close as brothers; if it weren't for you, one of them might even have entered the top ten of the cold weapon exam."

"So that's it; Brother Xu truly has an extraordinary family background."

Jiang Ding paid tribute with respect.

"It's okay."

Xu Jianian smiled reservedly, and his impression of the person in front of him improved a little.

Immortal Capital

"Oh ho!"

"The Great Sun Sword Child wants to kill!"

"And it's the kind where both soul and body are destroyed, wanting to dig them out from the roots."

Yellow-Haired True Lord mocked, but his eyes softened.

"Xu family..."

Dinghai True Lord remained silent.

"Paying respects to the Brigade Immortal Envoy!"

Thirty Dao soldier squad leaders and deputy squad leaders bowed respectfully in front of Jiang Ding, including seven Immortal Sect citizens such as Xu Yi to Xu Qi.

Their expressions were unusually respectful, even lower in posture than many Dao soldier deputy squad leaders who had doubts and unease in their eyes.

Xu Si, who was on the verge of comprehending sword intent, was even more excited, wishing he could prostrate himself in worship.

Xu Jianian, according to the family education he had received, observed the blue-clothed youth in front of him without a trace.

Holding military power, generals and warriors serving under his command, charging into battle with a single order.

This was a scene that many youths had fantasized about in their hearts, intoxicated by it, struggling for it all their lives, if...

Yet he saw the other party was extremely calm.

Clang!

A sword sound, not spreading outward, was accurately transmitted into the ears of the thirty Dao soldier squad leaders present, and the faint sword intent made people feel cold involuntarily.

The confused Dao soldier squad leaders lowered their heads respectfully, no longer having any doubts.

"Disperse; what you need to do is very simple, just follow my orders to defend in all directions."

"Yes, Brigade Immortal Envoy!"

Xu Yi and other Dao soldier squad leaders bowed respectfully, each returning to their Dao soldier squad.

Jiang Ding concealed his figure and disappeared.

"Can Immortal Sect citizens also be slaves?"

Jiang Ding muttered to himself in the communication channel, killing intent overflowing: "How dare he, how dare he!!!"

He wasn't saying it to anyone, but communicating with the formation spirit.

Xu Si and others participated in the college entrance exam that only citizens could participate in.

Then they were citizens!

Yet they were used as slaves by others.

What close as brothers, it's all bullshit!

With a Soul Transformation cultivator in front, I dare to call him brother if I'm in a bad mood; who the fuck is close as brothers with you, this idiot? Huh?

Ignorant!

"9541, during the one-thousand-year celebration of the Immortal Sect's victory over the Great Sun Sword Pavilion,"

"A riot broke out."

The formation spirit's mechanical voice sounded, not the artificial intelligence relying on many computers in the exam, but the voice of the central formation spirit computer.

"Two Soul Transformation cultivators and twenty Nascent Soul cultivators with the same concept participated, a large number of mid-low tier cultivators were coerced, and there was a faint shadow of a Profound Martial Heaven Palace Void Refinement great power."

"After a small-scale war, it was not completely suppressed; instead, the riot had a faint trend of expanding."

"Under the threat of the Void Refinement great power, there was even a faint risk of genocide."

"The Citizen Grand Meeting finally decided to sign the 'Xu City Treaty', dividing two minor realms as spoils of war, gifting them to the two Soul Transformation cultivators, becoming their private minor realms."

"In addition, granting them some privileges that do not involve the Immortal Sect's First Law and the Immortal Sect's foundation, including that their descendants can participate in the college entrance exam unconditionally every year, with a constant ideological and moral score of ninety points, free business, participation in trade, etc."

"The two Soul Transformation cultivators and the many Nascent Soul cultivators under their command are also regarded as members of the Immortal Sect, with military obligations."

"Breach of contract?"

Jiang Ding became completely calm.

In the face of life and death, many things can be compromised, left for later.

Facts proved that the predecessors at that time did not do anything wrong; after digesting the heritage of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion, the Immortal Sect did indeed usher in great development, and compared to two thousand years ago, its strength grew rapidly.

"The central formation spirit computer will not breach the contract; the program does not allow it."

"Can the safety of my person and family be guaranteed?"

"Key focus object, within the Blue Fluorescence Star, there will be no problems; even if a Void Refinement great power attacks personally, it can be transferred in advance."

"Understood."

Jiang Ding muttered to himself, stopping communication with the central formation spirit computer.
