it was impossible not to offend people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seeing as you were just following orders, this Marquis won't make things difficult for you; go back to where you came from.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These hundred-plus military officers immediately breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly bowed and thanked Li Fei, and then turned and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of the more than three hundred military officers who had been transferred, half were gone in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This would undoubtedly affect the overall strength of this unit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Li Fei believed it was worth it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted soldiers who would follow him to the battlefield wholeheartedly, not those with ulterior motives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the hundred-plus military officers had all left, Li Fei said in closing:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From now on, I will go to the battlefield with you all. I cannot promise that I can keep every one of you alive, but I can promise one thing: once on the battlefield, I will definitely be the one charging at the very front and the one retreating at the very last!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, dismissed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said that, he turned around cleanly and walked down from the high platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We swear to follow the Marquis to the death!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below, someone suddenly shouted loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately following, more than three thousand people shouted in unison:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We swear to follow the Marquis to the death!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the drill ground, the smoke of spirit and energy surged into the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the days that followed, everything returned to its original mode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more than three thousand martial artists of the Blue Patrol Pavilion trained as usual every day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With over a hundred military officers missing, Li Fei promoted over a hundred martial artists from among the ranks to serve as military officers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These hundred-plus people were all those who truly wished to follow him; only in this way could his control over this unit be truly established.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>June 23rd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More than half a month after Li Fei arrived at the Northern Frontier, another batch of Blue Patrol Pavilion martial artists arrived at Shaman City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This batch of martial artists numbered only over two hundred, but their cultivation bases were all very high; the lowest in realm were all Martial Masters at the early stage of Qi Transformation, and the highest in realm were even Dao Foundation stage martial artists and Possession stage Great Mages!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These people were all recommended by the Qing Province Blue Patrol Pavilion, and at their head was a Great Mage from the Nightmare Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Zhen had originally promised Li Fei that she would have the sect send a batch of true elites to the Northern Frontier and would also incite all the forces on good terms with the Nightmare Sect to send elites as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, these people had come!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost all the forces in Qing Province that had joined the Blue Patrol Pavilion had sent elites, giving their support to Li Fei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the addition of these two hundred-plus elites, the comprehensive strength of the unit under Li Fei's command rose by another notch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is no exaggeration to say that looking across the entire Northern Frontier, apart from the Green Frost Army and Prince Cheng's personal heavy-armored iron cavalry, no other unit could defeat these people under Li Fei's command with an equal number of troops!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>July 2nd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei, who was training his subordinates at the camp outside the city, suddenly received a secret order from the Military Department, telling him to return to the city immediately to attend a meeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Li Fei flew back to Shaman City directly using the Wind-Riding Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He went straight to the Military Department and walked into the command post.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He went upstairs and pushed open the door to enter the conference hall where he had attended a meeting previously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The furnishings inside the hall had changed again; this time it had become an oval long table surrounded by a circle of seats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, more than a dozen people were already seated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Li Fei walked into the conference hall, everyone looked toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei was stunned for a moment, because he recognized two of them:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was the former Deputy Pavilion Master of the Justice Pavilion, Mi Han, who had already stepped down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was the Chief of the Stop-War Department of Gan Province, Chi Chengyu, who had recently volunteered to come to the Northern Frontier to atone for his crimes through meritorious service.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of these men had lost their official positions due to the \"Three Great Cases\" at the beginning of the year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing these two, Li Fei immediately realized:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two would also join the Shaman-Slaying Army to go deep into the wilderness together to execute decapitation missions, thereby atoning for their crimes through meritorious service!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apart from these two, the remaining people all possessed extraordinary presence, and Li Fei could not gauge their depths at a single glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Greetings, everyone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei nodded to the people present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Marquis of Jing'an, do you still remember me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A middle-aged man wearing a pale white long gown with a jade hairpin in his hair and a very scholarly demeanor asked with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei turned his head to look at the other party, recalled slightly, and said with some surprise:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you Principal Qi Zhou?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This person was none other than the principal of Tianqu University, Qi Zhou!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Zhou nodded with a smile: \"Two years ago, you even came to my school to participate in the National Martial Dao Exchange Competition; I didn't expect that you would have come to the Northern Frontier to lead an army now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had given a speech on stage back then, and Li Fei had seen him, so he had some impression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei: \"I didn't expect you to have come as well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Zhou laughed: \"Haha, your Master Principal originally wanted to come too, but His Majesty was considerate of his advanced age, so in the end, it was changed to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Li Fei know that for this expedition of the Shaman-Slaying Army, the imperial court had also conscripted university principals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every university principal was a Grandmaster!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked toward the remaining few people; he feared that more than just this one university principal had come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The doors of the conference hall were pushed open again, and Prince Cheng, dressed in golden armor, walked in first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following behind him was also someone Li Fei recognized—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deputy Pavilion Master of the Stop-War Pavilion, the Shaman-Slaying Army Regional Commander appointed by the Emperor, Bai Yan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Highness, Deputy Pavilion Master Bai.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei took the initiative to salute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prince Cheng nodded at Li Fei: \"You sit next to Deputy Pavilion Master Bai.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said that, he walked toward the other end of the long table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yan smiled and nodded at Li Fei: \"Marquis of Jing'an, we meet again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, it was he who had taken Ye Zhao from Li Fei's hands to escort him back to the capital; he and Li Fei had met once before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After exchanging greetings, Bai Yan sat in the center position at this end of the long table, and Li Fei sat down to his left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prince Cheng sat at the other end, directly opposite Bai Yan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now that everyone has arrived, I will speak briefly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Prince Cheng sat down, he said cleanly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"His Majesty has issued a decree to secretly establish the Shaman-Slaying Army; everyone present is a member of the Shaman-Slaying Army.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone present had already been informed of this secret order in advance, so they were all very calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone, please introduce yourselves first; from now on you will be colleagues, and you will go deep into the wilderness to live and die together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prince Cheng said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, starting from his left, Qi Zhou smiled indifferently:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Principal of Tianqu University, Qi Zhou.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting beside Qi Zhou was a woman wearing a purple robe:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Principal of Changping University, Qiu Zi'an.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following immediately was a young man with long hair draped over his shoulders, looking very unrestrained and unconventional:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Principal of Qingyun University, Ji Yifan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three university principals, three Grandmasters!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The six people sitting opposite the three principals also introduced themselves in turn:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Member of the Stop-War Pavilion, Du Zi'ang.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Member of the Stop-War Pavilion, Cai Jia.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\".\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Six members of the Stop-War Pavilion, six Martial Dao Masters!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then a man and a woman introduced themselves separately:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Member of the Justice Pavilion, Zhu Zi.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Member of the Justice Pavilion, Di Cheng.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two members of the Justice Pavilion, two True Persons of the current age!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, Mi Han and Chi Chengyu also introduced themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Army Supervisor, Li Fei introduced himself second to last:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Marquis of Jing'an, Li Fei.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Regional Commander, Bai Yan said last:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Deputy Pavilion Master of the Stop-War Pavilion, Bai Yan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this, the lineup of powerhouses for the Shaman-Slaying Army was revealed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eight Martial Dao Masters!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two True Persons of the current age!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four Grandmasters!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One top-tier True Person!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After everyone had finished introducing themselves, Prince Cheng continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Besides you, the Shaman-Slaying Army also has three thousand-man Imperial Guard units and more than three thousand Blue Patrol Pavilion martial artists.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three thousand-man Imperial Guard units meant three more Grandmaster-level combatants!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A force composed of over three thousand martial artists is naturally the elite of the elite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prince Cheng’s gaze swept over everyone present:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These are all the members of the Barbarian-Slaying Army;
