Chapter 109 Impermanence! General Envoy! The recent incident at Liuzhuang has already spread to Qifeng Prefecture. Gaoliu Castle is the closest, so a large number of people were sent to get there as soon as possible. In contrast, the assassination of City Captain Wang Yuan was also temporarily put on hold. The Left City Guards received the order, gave up the search, and gathered together to guard Jinliu Village. The Tianjian Division had a deputy commander from the inner city of Gaoliu, who came at full speed with three chief flag bearers, nine flag bearers, and twenty-seven small flags. The City Guard Office sent the deputy city guard of the inner city and sixteen chief officials. From the Liuzun Temple, two temple priests and twenty incense burners came along. "People have been sent over from Qifeng City, but the journey is long and they will probably arrive tomorrow." "There are still more than 1,600 people left in Jinliu Village, and there is no large vacant land nearby that can accommodate them." "We need to disperse them as quickly as possible and escort them to various small or medium-sized clean areas. Leave food behind. Later... it will be difficult to help them."

"It's probably too late to send them away tonight. We have to patrol day and night, kill the dark evil spirits, and guard for another night!" "The treasure of the Wutong Goddess must be delivered as soon as possible. Otherwise, tonight, there are too many people and too much blood. It will be extremely dangerous. We will definitely suffer heavy casualties!" - At the same time, inside the village. General Han took Lin Yan and walked up the mountain. "According to convention, if we want to inquire about what happened last night, since you are near Liuzhuang, we also need to conduct a detailed investigation." Han Zongqi Envoy said slowly: "Originally, I am your direct superior, and I should avoid suspicion, but the deputy commander has heard of your reputation and knows that you have a bad temper. He is afraid that others will ask questions and make you angry, so he asked me to come..." "Ok?" Lin Yan frowned and said, "I, the Heavenly Supervisor, have always attached great importance to intelligence. I have learned about various parties and monitored various forces... He is the deputy commander, but he also believed in rumors from the outside world?" "Whether it's a rumor or not, let's put it aside for now." General Han came to the top of the mountain, turned around slowly, stared at Lin Yan, and said, "Are you in the Refining Essence Realm?" "I..." Lin Yan was about to explain in detail. "Answer me directly, yes or no!" General Han said solemnly, "Don't talk nonsense." "Yes!" Lin Yan said this, the peak of the Refining Essence Realm is naturally also the Refining Essence Realm. "you……" Although General Han had expected this, he was still quite shocked, with a look of astonishment in his eyes. After a moment, he sighed and said dejectedly: "Why didn't you tell me?" "..." Lin Yan's eyes twitched, and he said in a muffled voice: "Please think about it carefully. I wanted to speak out several times, but you always told me not to."

"Is this true?" General Han frowned. Then Lin Yan reminded him. He had just returned from leaving the city at night and then killed Liang Hu. "So, it seems like you have some impression?" After all, General Han was a person at the Refining Essence Realm, so his memory was not bad. After thinking for a while, he said again: "Even if I interrupted you, can't you continue speaking?" "..." Lin Yan didn't reply. General Han finally remembered it. At that time, Lin Yan showed his cultivation of the second level of martial arts. I saw through his inner strength realm. In fact, Lin Yan was in the realm of refining essence. At that time, he was quite proud of himself, thinking that Lin Yan's attainment in the art of concealing his breath was nothing in front of him and he could see through it all easily. And then there was the night when Liang Hu was beheaded... Forget it... General Han felt a little embarrassed and coughed twice. "I thought I valued you enough, but I didn't expect your talent to be so shocking." General Han sighed, "The realm of refining essence has transcended the scope of the human body. The vitality is vast, and the broken limbs are reattached. It is almost extraordinary and otherworldly, no longer an ordinary man!" Lin Yan was just about to say that he had reached the end of his Essence Refining Stage. Then the general flag bearer snorted and said, "But don't be too proud, kid. There is still a long way to go to reach the realm of refining essence..." He put his hands behind his back and said with emotion: "I have practiced for many years, struggling in the realm of refining essence, making steady progress step by step, and finally I can barely say that I have reached the end, but refining essence into qi is still a long way off." He reached out and patted Lin Yan on the shoulder, saying, "Work hard, don't slack off after achieving some success, keep working hard, and strive to reach the end of the Refining Essence Realm within ten years." "Based on my insight, I can conclude that with your talent, you will be able to reach the threshold of the Qi Refining Realm in less than 20 years!" General Han's eyes were full of encouragement and expectation. "Ok." Seeing this, Lin Yan had no choice but to hold back what he was going to say and responded in a muffled voice. "Let's go!" Han Zongqi said seriously: "Your true cultivation level will be put aside for now! You are still at the peak of inner strength. After returning to the city, I will discuss with Lu Gong and find an opportunity to let you show your ability in the Refining Essence Realm to the outside world..." Hearing this, Lin Yan couldn't help but smile and said, "Old man, can you protect a genius like me?" "Mr. Lu can probably protect half of a genius." Chief Banner Envoy Han said with a smile: "There will be a way to properly resolve this matter. You don't have to continue like this. You are obviously very capable, but you have to be humble and be a mere banner envoy..." "Be humble and humble?" Lin Yan laughed and didn't reply.

"Go ahead, the deputy commander is waiting for you downstairs. I'll dismantle this heavy crossbow. You're in luck." General Han suddenly said with a smile. Lin Yan was slightly puzzled and frowned, "Is it a blessing?" General Han pointed at the heavy crossbow and said, "This thing will belong to your Linjiang Division from now on." "This thing is too heavy and bulky, difficult to carry, difficult to move, difficult to adjust its direction, and difficult to capture the target." Lin Yan shook his head and said, "Moreover, it requires three inner strong men to activate it, and my Linjiang Division cannot gather enough." "Besides, even if he is at the Refining Essence Realm, with two ordinary warriors, he can only barely use it two or three times." "This thing is too tasteless and not very useful." Having said that, Lin Yan looked up again. In his heart, he didn't think much of the heavy crossbow. Although this heavy crossbow can shoot up to three thousand steps away and is extremely powerful, it is almost comparable to the means of the Qi Refining Realm! But in the Qi Refining Stage, one can move freely and capture the target easily! More importantly, the "true qi" in the Qi Refining Realm has the ability to kill evil spirits! This heavy crossbow, even with the power of the temple, can at most kill ordinary wandering monsters! "This thing should not be underestimated. It can pose a threat to the Refining Essence Realm!" General Han said solemnly, "For example, if we had deployed heavy crossbows in advance, the bear monster that broke into Linjiangfang that night could have been killed with just one crossbow arrow!" "It's not easy to shoot it." Lin Yan shook his head and said, "Although the bear monster is bulky, it can also run. This heavy crossbow is difficult to capture a moving target... My evaluation is that it is not as good as the methods of the Qi Refining Realm." "There are only a few people in the Qi Refining Realm in the entire Gaoliu City?" General Han said angrily, "You are just a beginner in the Jing Refining Realm, but you are so arrogant that you don't even take such a treasure seriously!" "We can move it to Linjiangsi, but we have to knock down a wall and make room for it before we can put it there." Lin Yan rubbed his brows and said, "The most important thing is that you have to send me three warriors with strong internal strength, otherwise this thing can only be placed there and cannot be used." He said this, just waved his hand and walked down the mountain. When he arrived at Jinliu Manor, he saw a man walking towards him slowly. This man has a straight figure and a long sword on his waist. He was wearing a light blue robe with the logo of the Heavenly Supervisory Department printed on it. His eyes were bright and sparkling. Gaoliu Inner City, one of the three deputy commanders, Zhou Yuan. This man has a handsome face and seems to be less than 30 years old, but in fact he is nearly 60 years old and has snow-white hair. “Are you Impermanence?” The deputy commander came forward with a serious look and said, "I heard that you were by Master Lu's side before he died?" Lin Yan nodded slightly. The deputy commander was silent for a moment before he asked, "What did Master Lu say?" Lin Yan said in a low voice: "The old man said that he did not bring shame to the Tianjian Division." The deputy commander nodded, sighed, and said, "Sir Commander, he has something important to do, otherwise he should come to see Master Lu off in person and give you a reward."

At this point, the deputy commander put his hand into his bosom and said, "In an emergency, we should make decisions based on the circumstances. We should keep things simple. I will be the first one to grant you the position of the general flag." In his hand was a flag. But it is very different from Linjiangsi. The colors on the flag, black background with silver stripes, form a soaring divine bird. "You have made outstanding contributions recently. General Envoy Han has reported you many times. After several verifications, the Commander personally approved and granted you the position of General Envoy." After hearing this, Lin Yan understood that it was probably because after the death of City Captain Wang Yuan, the authorities had re-investigated the slaughterhouse matter in detail. Han, the general flag-bearer, obviously won more merits for himself in this process. "Starting from this month, your salary, medicinal baths, pills, etc. will all be upgraded by one level." "But considering that your cultivation has not yet entered the Refining Essence Realm, for now, you will continue to be in charge of the Linjiang Division!" "But Gaoliu City will be expanded soon. The area south of the new city will be designated as the Sixteenth Ward." "I think once the new city is built, you will be able to reach the Refining Essence Realm." "By then, you will be the first general of the new city!" He handed the flag in his hand to Lin Yan and said solemnly: "General Wuchang, this time, not only will you be promoted to a higher rank, but you will also receive many rewards. When we return to Gaoliu City, I will reward you again!" "Besides, you and General Pei Xiong turned the tide last night and saved more than 1,600 people in Liuzhuang." "There will also be rewards for recovering all kinds of stolen items and various merits." "Thank you, Commander Zhou!" Lin Yan took over the flag with mixed feelings. He felt neither joy about promotion nor expectation of reward. He looked at Jinliu Village and said slowly, "So now the people in Jinliu Village will be able to gather in Gaoliu City soon and rebuild their homes?" "For now, we can only select a group of young and strong people who are willing to go to Gaoliu City and participate in the expansion and construction." The deputy commander said softly: "The burden on your shoulders will be very heavy in the future..." (End of this chapter)
