Chapter 87: Breaking Through Three Realms, Reaching the Fifth Level of the Master Realm

After a few days, Shen Qing had completely digested the precious medicine, and his cultivation had risen to the fifth level of the Master realm.

His internal qi sea was already vast and boundless.

This is monster-level talent.

Genius? It's merely the threshold to see Shen Qing.

Shen Qing sat in the courtyard looking at the imperial edict in his hand, which Huo Zheng had personally delivered last night.

In short, the meaning is to let Shen Qing take over as the commandant of the Jia Shui Jun Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Shen Qing was also happy about it, after all, Yong Ning Jun was too peaceful.

Shen Qing put down the edict and looked at the scholar beside him.

"Scholar, what do you think?"

"The scholar was meanwhile studying the documents that had come down from above."

"Boss, wherever you go, we'll follow."

"And besides, Boss, you are a true dragon; the pond of Yong Ning Jun is really too small, while Jia Shui Jun is not bad."

"The stage is big enough!"

This is also Shen Qing's idea.

Yong Ning Jun is currently too peaceful.

The White Dragon Sect had three Masters killed; in the coming years it will be hard to stir up trouble or make big moves.

And as for the official forces here? The biggest black hand is Peng Guang; after Peng Guang kills them, only a few big and small cats remain, and it's unknown whether they dare to come out and cause trouble.

As for the sects? Needless to say, they've all sent people to Luo Shui City, waiting to join the Martial Alliance.

Going to Jia Shui Jun will be interesting; needless to say, the Wokou pirates— the whole prefecture full of Wokou are waiting for Shen Qing to come kill them, and those are also enticing entries.

And the officials? The Embroidered Uniform Guard has been infiltrated; what else can be done? Of course, kill them.

"You're quite eloquent; then pack up and prepare to depart for Jia Shui Jun."

"Got it!"

"Suddenly the scholar thought of something: 'Oh! Right, Boss! I see on this document that after the Martial Alliance is established, they still need to elect a leader.'"

"The court's meaning seems to be that the first alliance leader should be the current person in the jianghu, probably not wanting to take too big a step at once."

"Boss, you're basically the chief commander of this Martial Alliance plan; why not, before we leave, summon them to hold a meeting and let them choose themselves?"

Shen Qing took the document and glanced at it; indeed, there was such a clause.

"Let them choose? That's just wasting time, right?"

"Alliance leader? Just let someone from the Red Cloud Sect do it; that Su Jiujie will suffice."

"As for others who have opinions, you can let them come to the Commandant's Office life-and-death platform to discuss."

After contacting so many martial sects, only the Red Cloud Sect counts as a person; the Green Mountain Sect, because of its sect leader Li Qing Shan, can barely count as half.

The rest are just misshapen melons and cracked dates.

At this moment, Lu Tong and Qin Chuan also entered carrying wine jugs.

"What are you guys talking about?"

The scholar hurriedly bowed: "Greetings, Commander Lu."

"Shen Qing smiled: 'From now on you should be called Commandant Lu.'"

Shen Qing was transferred to Jia Shui Jun, while Qin Chuan was also transferred to the prefecture; however, the Yong Ning Jun Embroidered Uniform Guard still needed a commandant, so naturally Lu Tong was appointed acting commandant.

Lu Tong put the wine on the table.

"Thanks to you, come! Please have a drink!"

"Scholar, you sit too."

"The scholar performed a salute: 'Sirs, you should drink; Boss still gave me a task, I need to hurry.'"

Having said that, he ran out of the courtyard.

Lu Tong, Qin Chuan, Shen Qing and the others then sat on the stone chairs.

"Everything's been arranged; I've also picked the people for you— let Zhang Shan, Pan Ruhai, and Pan Ruyuan go with you."

"Shen Qing raised his eyebrows: 'Are you sure? These are several of your main pillars.'"

"Lu Tong said: 'Anyway, after you've shaken up Yong Ning Jun, it's hard for any big case to arise; they'd have nothing to do if they stayed, so it's better they follow you; plus, Jia Shui Jun is chaotic, and having a few trustworthy subordinates to handle affairs would make things easier.'"

"Qin Chuan nodded, poured Shen Qing a cup of wine: 'Moreover, I know the commandant of Jia Shui Jun; his name is Xu Han, a petty person.'"

"This time he was removed; if you make him a Qianhu, he'll surely not obey; I feel he'll try to sabotage you, which might be a bit troublesome."

"Shen Qing, what do you plan to do?"

Shen Qing lifted his wine cup and drank it all in one go.

"If it's troublesome, then just don't do it."

"If he behaves, I'll also be too lazy to bother him; if he really doesn't obey, humph..."

Jia Shui Jun, Bei Yun City, Commandant's Office.

Xu Han led a few confidants sitting in the room discussing affairs; everyone had furrowed brows.

"A Baihu snorted and slammed the table: 'Where did this Shen Qing come from?'"

"Another Baihu said: 'He's from Yong Ning Jun, very young, only twenty years old; recently his fame is huge, and it's said he's very spiritual! Just one glance at someone's eyes and you know what he's thinking; plus he has a special sense, making him impossible to calculate.'"

"Twenty? A twenty-year-old commandant? Even if he's a genius, you can't let Minister Xu make him a Qianhu, right?"

"How can it be that Minister Xu has sat in the commandant's position for eighty years; not getting promoted is fine, but how did he even get demoted a rank?"

Xu Han hid in the darkness, finally speaking; his voice wasn't loud, but carried an indisputable tone.

"The imperial appointment is not to be questioned."

He paused, then spoke word by word:

Do your assigned duties, everything as usual.

Deputy Commander Shen will arrive at Jia Shui Jun soon; don't disgrace our Jia Shui Jun Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Alright! Everyone, get back to work.

All the captains fell silent, exchanged glances, and left the room one by one; after the door was finally shut, only Xu Han remained inside.

Xu Han slowly lifted his head; his face was already hideously ferocious.

I'm already over two hundred years old, my lifespan is ending! At this critical juncture, you still want to demote my post?

What an imperial court! If you're unkind, don't blame me for being unrighteous!

Is that Shen Qing? A twenty-year-old Deputy Commander—how imposing!

But you want to come to Jia Shui Jun? You're too young!

Mind-reading technique! Can you read what I'm thinking? Special sense—can you sense that I'm scheming against you?

Meanwhile, in the distant Luo River City.

Shen Qing was still drinking with Qin Chuan and Lu Tong.

Suddenly, his innate six senses kicked in; a special feeling surged into Shen Qing's heart, and the corner of his mouth twitched up slightly.

Qin Chuan gulped a large mouthful of wine: 'So, Jia Shui Jun still has some trouble, but for you it's not difficult.'

Suddenly, he saw the smile at the corner of Shen Qing's mouth and felt a bit nauseous.

What's going on? How did you end up laughing while drinking?

Shen Qing shook his head, refilled their cups: 'No, no, I just thought of something interesting.'

Seems like there's fun again.
