Chapter 930

"You have plenty of character, and a bit of ability too."

"Just as you said, although your cultivation is shallow, since you were appointed by His Majesty, no one in this world can refute it, and the Net will inevitably listen to your commands."

"But whether you can make them sincerely submit depends on your methods."

Having said that, Zhang Han turned around and casually tossed a token to Chen Pingping.

"This is my token. With this token, the Net will show me some respect."

"Although the Net and the Black Ice Terrace belong to different branches, cooperation is inevitable. If you have any matters in the future, you can come find me."

Chen Pingping held the token with a smile.

"Many thanks, General Zhang Han."

"You should thank His Majesty more!"

697. Fan Xian: Sword Saint Ge Nie?

A moment later, Zhang Han took the Imperial Guards and disappeared without a trace.

That thick, murderous aura also vanished, allowing Fan Jian and the others to quietly heave a sigh of relief.

Wu Zhu was silent for a long time, then said softly:

"That team of Imperial Guards just now had a minimum strength of Ninth Grade Upper, and the strongest were at the peak of the Grandmaster realm; there were about sixty or more Grandmasters."

"With such a number of Grandmasters, plus that general whose realm I couldn't even discern but whose every move affected the celestial phenomena, these hundred-plus people are enough to suppress the entire world."

"There is no need for a large army to be deployed."

Having said that, Wu Zhu looked at Fan Xian.

"Is this what you called the Black Ice Terrace?"

Fan Xian was just about to answer when a voice sounded quietly in everyone's ears.

"That is not the Black Ice Terrace; it is just the Imperial Guard from within the palace. Besides controlling the Black Ice Terrace, General Zhang Han is also a general who is capable of both fighting and commanding."

"Father Emperor trusts him and lets him concurrently serve as the commander of the Imperial Guards."

"The number of Imperial Guards in the palace is about ten thousand, and the minimum standard to enter is to be at the late stage of the Pre-Natal realm, which is probably what you call Ninth Grade Upper."

Everyone turned their heads to look at the source of the sound, and a handsome, peerless, gentle, and refined youth with an overflowing scholarly aura came into view.

Behind him, there followed a swordsman with an indifferent expression.

The youth smiled and cupped his hands to everyone.

"Nice to meet you all, and welcome to the Great Qin. General Zhang Han was not trying to intimidate you just now; General Zhang Han holds multiple positions, and he has also resigned from the position of the Net many times..."

"He hopes that someone can take over the Net for him, it's just that you are all new here, and in terms of strength..."

"General Zhang Han was just expressing some worry from the perspective of the Great Qin, but I think that since Mr. Chen Pingping was able to accept General Zhang Han's token, he has already recognized you."

"However, in terms of strength, Mr. Chen Pingping still needs to improve quite a bit; the assassins of the Net, although I don't want to say it, are indeed arrogant."

After landing, they looked solemn and knelt on one knee in perfect unison, cupping their hands.

"Subordinate General Zhang Han, greets Your Majesty!"

Hearing Zhang Han's name, Chen Pingping couldn't help but take an extra look; this was the figure who controlled the Black Ice Terrace, in a sense, someone similar to him.

He was also someone he would definitely come into contact with after arriving in Great Qin.

He looked very young, but Chen Pingping knew that one could not judge age by appearance.

Zhang Han was already a half-step Earth Immortal; for such a person, eternal youth was not a difficult feat.

It was the sharp, steel-like aura of slaughter on him that was the most critical factor.

Seeming to notice Chen Pingping's observation, Zhang Han looked at him calmly, and for an instant, Chen Pingping felt as if an overwhelming aura of slaughter had submerged him.

It left Chen Pingping feeling somewhat suffocated; this was the most terrifying person he had ever seen in his life.

And what shocked Shadow and the others even more was...

Among the hundred or so people brought by Zhang Han, the weakest were at the peak of the ninth grade, and the majority were Great Grandmasters.

As for Zhang Han, he was an existence completely beyond their comprehension.

Perhaps he was what was known as a Heavenly Phenomenon Great Grandmaster, or even an Earth Immortal.

"Pass the order to the hundred officials and Fusu: hold court. Also, have them come along as well."

Having said that, Ying Zheng took Ying Yinman and walked into the palace, passing by the crowd.

"Understood!"

Zhang Han cupped his hands and lowered his head until Ying Zheng disappeared. Only then did he straighten up, look at Wang Jian, and cup his hands, saying:

"Long time no see, Old General Wang, Minister Li."

"Your cultivation has broken through, not bad at all."

Wang Jian chuckled, patted Zhang Han on the shoulder, and turned to leave.

"Alright, I'm going to prepare for court as well. Also, you can have some early contact with that Chen Pingping."

"Haven't you always complained that managing both the Black Ice Terrace and the Luo Wang alone is a bit tiring? That is the person His Majesty found to share the burden of the Luo Wang with you."

Zhang Han was stunned for a moment, and Wang Jian and Li Si also vanished without a trace.

Chen Pingping smiled bitterly in his heart; he had been set up by Wang Jian this time.

"Chen Pingping?"

Zhang Han looked over with an expressionless face; one look was enough to make even the strongest, Wu Zhu, feel somewhat suffocated.

"I have met General Zhang Han."

Chen Pingping cupped his hands in greeting.

Zhang Han did not answer. The next moment, a booming aura surged into the sky, and in an instant, the celestial phenomena over the entire Xianyang City, outside of the Xianyanggong, changed drastically.

Just a moment ago, the sky had been clear for ten thousand miles, but in this instant, thunder and lightning flashed, looking exactly like the sky was collapsing.

Chen Pingping and the others, facing this pressure directly, immediately turned pale and swayed as if they were about to fall.

"His Majesty wants you to take charge of the Luo Wang? A martial artist who is only at the Postnatal realm?"

Zhang Han looked at Chen Pingping expressionlessly. The latter gritted his teeth and cupped his hands, saying:

"This is His Majesty's decree; I have the confidence to take charge of the Net."

"Interesting..."

Zhang Han chuckled softly. In an instant, a bolt of lightning struck directly beside Chen Pingping, blasting open a huge hole, and everyone was unable to stand steady.

Chen Pingping also gritted his teeth and persisted.

"Do you know what kind of existence the Luo Wang is? And what the cultivation level of its previous commander was?"

"I ask General Zhang Han for guidance."

Chen Pingping looked at Zhang Han with a resolute expression.

"The Luo Wang is the number one assassin and intelligence organization of our Great Qin. The Luo Wang is spread throughout the world and is known for being omnipresent."

"During the Warring States period, the number of nobles and even members of royal families from the seven states who died at the hands of the Luo Wang was countless."

"Its Eight Swords of the King of Yue and the Six Sword Slaves are all Heavenly Phenomenon Great Grandmasters, and together they can fight Earth Immortals."

"The Luo Wang is divided into Heaven-rank assassins and Earth-rank assassins. Heaven-rank assassins cannot enter without reaching the Heavenly Phenomenon realm, and Earth-rank assassins are all Grandmaster experts."

"The Luo Wang monitors the world for His Majesty and for Great Qin; the hundred officials and the various schools of thought are all on the Luo Wang's list."

"To take charge of the Luo Wang, one must face the people of the various schools of thought, all of whom have Earth Immortals and even existences at the half-step Shattering the Void level."

"The leader of the Yin-Yang School, Zou Yan, who is at the half-step Shattering the Void level, has over a dozen Heavenly Phenomenon Great Grandmasters and three Earth Immortals under his command."

"The leader of the Confucian School, Master Xunzi, is at the half-step Shattering the Void level."

"The Daoist Heavenly Sect, the Human Sect, the School of Diplomacy, the Agricultural School, the Mohist School, the Novelist School... these various schools of thought."

"Any one of these schools could send a commander to slaughter all of you, and any one of them has the ability to ravage a small world."

"The various schools of thought have vast influence; for example, the Agricultural School has nearly a million members, all of whom practice martial arts."

"And the previous commander of the Luo Wang, although a sinner, had a cultivation level at the late stage of the Earth Immortal realm."

"Only then could he suppress the murderous assassins within the Luo Wang. With your cultivation level, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to control the Luo Wang and will be backlashed?"

"The Luo Wang is the sharpest sword of Great Qin. If you cannot control it, it will only kill you. With you being parachuted in like this, the Eight Swords of the King of Yue will definitely be dissatisfied with you."

"You are only at the Postnatal realm; how will you resist the slaughter of eight Heavenly Phenomenon Great Grandmaster assassins?"

Hearing Zhang Han's words, the crowd was also somewhat worried.

But Chen Pingping smiled confidently.

"Because I was appointed by His Majesty. In this world, isn't it His Majesty who has the final say? Since His Majesty let me take over, I will definitely be able to do it!"

"His Majesty will not misjudge a person."
