Chapter 323

The old man cleared his throat, and just as he was about to speak, he heard the War King say.

"Those who agree with Su Chen, raise your hands!"

Little Xuan Yuan Cheng raised his hand at the same time, and the remaining few Grandmasters, namely Lin Ming, Xu Mian, and others, raised their hands.

The old man said with some displeasure.

"Lord War King, the matter is already very clear; the Tenth Legion Commander should be Bai Heyun, right?"

The War King stared at the old man with a smile and slowly raised his own hand.

For a moment, the old man's expression instantly stiffened.

He had not expected the War King to choose to support Su Chen.

On what grounds, Su Chen??

The War King looked at the Grandmasters below with a smile, his voice gentle as he spoke.

"Is there anyone else who wants to support Su Chen?"

Some Grandmasters, seeing the War King raise his hand, hurriedly raised both of their hands.

The War King nodded with satisfaction and said.

"Since that is the case, then the Tenth Legion Commander position belongs to Su Chen."

The old man's expression was extremely ugly, and he said in a deep voice.

"Lord War King, didn't some people already raise their hands just now?"

The War King said with a smile.

"Oh? Is that so? I didn't notice. Let's do this: let's vote again. Those who agree with Su Chen, raise your hands!"

As he spoke, the War King raised his hand.

The rest of the group of Grandmasters, except for the old man, all raised their hands.

"You all..."

The old man's chest heaved continuously; he was clearly angered by the War King's shamelessness.

Yet, he had no way to deal with the War King.

After all, he was a King-Sealing expert; even if he acted like a rascal, what could he do?

The old man took a deep breath and said.

"Since Lord War King holds Su Chen in such high regard, then let Su Chen be the Tenth Legion Commander."

The War King looked at the old man in surprise; he clearly hadn't expected this old fellow to be so easy to talk to.

It didn't look like his usual self at all.

Subsequently, the old man's voice was heard.

"Since there is a Legion Commander, there cannot be no Deputy Legion Commander. I propose that Bai Heyun serve as the Deputy Legion Commander of the Tenth Legion!"

Little Xuan Yuan Cheng's brows furrowed slightly, but soon, his expression turned somewhat gloomy.

The War King also looked at the old man with interest.

The old man explained.

"Su Chen is, after all, just a young man; he needs an elder by his side to assist him. Otherwise, some decisions could easily lead to the entire legion falling into ruin."

"And although Bai Heyun is only a Grandmaster from the rear, he is very capable in handling affairs. I believe he can also help Su Chen grow quickly!"

The old man spoke with great righteousness, but none of the people present were fools, so they naturally saw through the old man's intentions.

The smile on the War King's face gradually disappeared, and he stared deeply at the old man.

Being watched like this by the War King, the old man's body trembled slightly, and he buried his head deep down.

A moment later, the War King spoke slowly.

"Since that is the case, then do as you say!"

The old man raised his head, overjoyed.

Little Xuan Yuan Cheng, who was to the side, looked at the War King with an anxious expression, but he was stopped by the War King.

"The matter is decided. You all go down and make proper arrangements. The Tenth Legion Commander's inauguration should be grander; it will serve to deter the fierce beasts outside the fortress!"

"Yes!"

Afterwards, the Grandmasters left the palace one by one.

After seeing everyone leave, Little Xuan Yuan Cheng spoke to the War King.

"War King, it's not like you don't know Old Man Li's intentions, so why did you agree to him?"

Little Xuan Yuan Cheng was clearly puzzled; the War King could have flatly refused, and no one would have dared to say a word of dissent.

The War King leaned back on his throne, gazing quietly ahead, his expression extremely serene.

"Since he wants to find trouble for Su Chen, let him find it. He just shouldn't regret it in the end."

The War King's words left Little Xuan Yuan Cheng confused.

The War King said indifferently.

"Do you think that Bai Heyun alone can make Su Chen unable to hold his ground?"

"But, Bai Heyun is a Five-Star Grandmaster after all."

Little Xuan Yuan Cheng said, struggling with the thought.

"Five-Star Grandmaster?"

The War King let out a cold snort and said nothing.

So what if he is a Five-Star Grandmaster?

Back then, Su Chen was a guy who dared to fight even the White Wolf King. If a mere Five-Star Grandmaster could bring Su Chen down, the War King would be willing to cut off his own head and kick it like a ball.

Seeing that the War King didn't speak, Little Xuan Yuan Cheng sighed and prepared to go give Su Chen a heads-up.

Meanwhile, in a room in the First Fortress.

Old Man Li, Bai Chen, and a burly middle-aged man were sitting at a table.

"The War King has decided to let Su Chen serve as the Tenth Legion Commander, but I have secured a Deputy Legion Commander position for you. When the time comes, as long as you find a few of Su Chen's mistakes, you can naturally kick him out, and the Legion Commander position will be yours."

Old Man Li said indifferently to the burly middle-aged man.

Upon hearing this, Bai Chen said excitedly.

"Dad, you must carefully look for Su Chen's flaws. He made me lose all face; this grudge must be avenged!"

That burly middle-aged man was none other than Bai Chen's father, Bai Heyun!

A Five-Star Grandmaster expert, even in the rear, was a name that commanded respect.

A sharp light burst forth from Bai Heyun's resolute eyes.

"Hmph, a mere Su Chen dares to make a move against my son? Once I replace him as Legion Commander, he will be yours to deal with!"

A smile appeared on Bai Chen's twisted face.

"Thank you, Father!"

Old Man Li said indifferently.

"In a few days, it will be the time for the Legion Commander's inauguration. We will secretly stir up some trouble to make Su Chen unable to hold his ground. By then, perhaps Su Chen himself won't be able to stand it and will give up the position."

Bai Heyun said with a chuckle.

"That Su Chen, no matter how monstrous his talent, is ultimately just a young man. He definitely won't be able to endure it when the time comes. That will be our opportunity!"

Bai Chen grinned, as if he had already seen Su Chen making a fool of himself.

Old Man Li nodded and said calmly.

"He moved against my disciple, so naturally, I cannot let him have an easy time. So what if he is a Grandmaster?"

Bai Chen said with a chuckle.

"Thank you, Master!"

The three of them looked at each other and smiled.
