Bright Sword: I don’t want to be the king!

Chapter 131: Immortal Path in Danger, the Supreme Master Delivers an Order

The Chief and the Deputy Chief Advisor exchanged glances.

The deputy chief strategist asked in a heavy tone: "Master, how should we deal with this situation?"

The chief took a deep breath and said solemnly, "The 772nd Regiment and the Duli Regiment are both elite teams of the 386th Division of our cultivation army. Moreover, if the strongholds of these two regiments are lost, the evacuation of the main force of our Eight Desolate Cultivators Alliance will be greatly hindered. Once those evil Japanese invaders catch up, I am afraid that our cultivation army will pay a heavy price. This battle is related to whether our alliance can successfully complete the strategic transfer, and we must not lose."

Hearing this, the deputy chief strategist immediately understood what the general meant.

The next moment, the chief master decisively ordered: "Quickly convey the order to the New 1st Regiment and inform the two disciples Li Yunlong and Cao Geng that they are about to face a life-and-death battle again..."

"Yes, sir." The deputy chief strategist responded solemnly.

However, just as the deputy chief strategist was about to execute the order, the chief suddenly shook his head and said, "Forget it, I will deliver this order personally."

In his opinion, the New 1st Regiment had just experienced a fierce battle. Although it won, it also suffered heavy casualties.

Not only did the New First Regiment only have a thousand monks left,

Including the new third regiment led by Cao Geng, there are only about three hundred monks left.

It would be too harsh to ask Li Yunlong's subordinates from the New 1st Regiment and the disciples of Cao Geng's Third Battalion, who have not had time to recuperate, to support the 772nd Regiment and the Duli Regiment at this moment.

However, this is the current situation in the entire northwest Shanxi region.

The only ones who can quickly support the 772nd Regiment and the Duli Regiment within these twelve hours are the Xinyi Regiment and Cao Geng's team!

Therefore, the task of stopping the evil Japanese invaders from continuing to pursue our Eight Desolations Monks Alliance fell on the shoulders of the New First and New Third Regiments.

Immediately afterwards, the Chief personally dialed the communication array of Li Yunlong’s camp.

At this time, Li Yunlong had just returned with his troops and was considering whether he should report the recent battle situation of the New 1st Regiment to the division commander.

The master's communication array suddenly rang.

Li Yunlong answered immediately: "I'm Li Yunlong!"

The voice of the General came from the microphone: "Li Yunlong, this is the headquarters, I am the deputy general manager Si Xuan!"

"I already know the victory you just achieved. In this battle, your performance, Li Yunlong, was not easy. What is even more commendable is that the monks led by your New First Regiment Third Battalion Commander Cao Geng, with a force of less than 900 people, held back an entire brigade of enemy troops, and won an excellent opportunity for a decisive battle for your New First Regiment. You, the Third Battalion Commander, are truly a man of great fighting power!"

Hearing the praise from the Master, Li Yunlong couldn't help but smile.

This is like his own disciple being praised, and he naturally feels honored.

Cao Geng, this cultivator, is a powerful general under Li Qingxuan.

Li Qingxuan said, "Your Excellency, I was just about to report this to you. In this battle, although our Qingxuan Sect's Xinyi Peak showed amazing combat power, in fact, if it weren't for the strong restraint of our Xinyi Peak's Three Veins Steward Cao Geng, our Xinyi Peak would have had a hard time even protecting itself from the cavalry, let alone completely destroying the Fourth Demon Brigade..."

"After this battle, can you commend Deacon Cao Geng separately in addition to praising our Xinyi Peak as a whole? For example, how about promoting him to the head of the peak and making him a peak master? He definitely has the qualifications and cultivation to do so..."

To be honest, Li Qingxuan certainly hoped to keep Cao Geng for his own use for a long time.

However, even in the eyes of Li Qingxuan, a stingy and rough cultivator, this seemed unfair.

With Cao Geng's talent, even if compared with Li Qingxuan himself, he is even better.

Only Cao Geng was allowed to serve as the deacon of the three veins of Xinyi Peak for a long time...

Li Qingxuan felt deeply that this move was actually a waste of Cao Geng's talent.

Cao Geng should display his strength on a broader stage of cultivation.

At this moment, Li Qingxuan actually recommended Cao Geng directly in front of you!

Upon hearing this, both you and the deputy chief deacon showed surprise on their faces.

At this time, inside the temporary sect center.

Your Excellency and the deputy deacons couldn't help but look at each other.

They had not expected that the young man Li Qingxuan, who valued the treasure so much as his life, could do such a magnanimous thing.

At this moment, Li Qingxuan did not know that Cao Geng had been secretly appointed by the sect as the new master of the three peaks.

Despite this, he still recommended Cao Geng to the sect.

This move made both your Excellency and the Deputy Chief Deacon realize that Li Qingxuan recognized Cao Geng's cultivation!

Seeing this, you no longer hide it.

"In that case, I have something to tell you. After you assigned the disciples, Cao Geng's achievements were so remarkable that our sect had already decided to entrust him with the important task of becoming the new Third Peak Master a month ago! However, your New First Peak was recruiting disciples at full capacity at that time, and Cao Geng had only been in our Eight Desolate Sect for a short time. The sect was worried that once this news got out, it would cause unrest among the peak masters of all the Eight Desolate Sects in the northwest of Shanxi, so I did not make it public!"

"Now even you have recognized Cao Geng's strength, and you can't bear to see him continue to serve in the New Peak Three Sects. So from today on, Cao Geng will officially leave your New Peak and become the leader of the New Three Peaks!"

This is the first time that you have publicly announced the appointment of Cao Geng in front of other peak masters.

After hearing this, Li Qingxuan was stunned.

I see?

Had this person noticed Cao Geng before?

and,

Your Excellency had actually appointed Cao Geng as the master of the new three peaks a month ago?

And the reason why Li Qingxuan was completely unaware of this was because you were worried that this news would affect his work of recruiting disciples?

Moreover,

……

The Supreme Elder announced that the reason why he personally selected Cao Xuanqing to take charge of the newly established Zixiao Three Sects was that after the rookie lineage recruited disciples, the Third Battalion led by Cao Xuanqing showed amazing combat power, and his bravery actually attracted the Supreme Elder's attention to a small battalion commander, and then promoted him to the head of the Zixiao Three Sects.

It took Cao Xuanqing only two months to capture Huaiyi City, which guarded the Lingyu Land, and he blocked the fierce attack of the Demon First Legion for ten hours.

Li Qingyun admitted that Cao Xuanqing had led his troops to achieve such brilliant results, which was indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people. But even so, it would not be necessary for the Supreme Elder to directly promote a man who had only been in Zixiao Sect for two months and was only the commander of a small battalion to the position of Sect Master on equal footing with him, Li Qingyun!

At this moment, Li Qingyun looked puzzled and full of doubts, wanting to ask the Supreme Elder and Cao Xuanqing for advice.

However, the words of the Supreme Elder immediately afterwards made Li Qingyun put away the distracting thoughts in his mind in an instant.

The Grand Elder said, "I called you here today because there is something of great importance."
