After hearing Ye Hongyi read the imperial edict, Lin Xuan was stunned and greatly surprised. This seventh-rank Sky Patrol Guard was within his expectations. Ye Hongyi had previously said that with his merits, he would probably be promoted three ranks.
He was already a fourth-rank Sky Patrol Guard, and if he were to advance three ranks, he would naturally become a seventh-rank Guard.
However, the position of inspector was unexpected for him.
It's important to understand that the Inspector General of the Xuanhuang Ancient Kingdom is not a nominal position, but one with real power. The Inspector General, acting on behalf of Heaven, patrols the realm, holding a very special status and considered a confidant of the Emperor. Generally speaking, only the true core members of the Heavenly Patrol Guard, and those valued by the Emperor of the Xuanhuang Ancient Kingdom, are qualified to become Inspectors General.
Lin Xuan never expected that he, a newcomer who had been with the Sky Patrol Division for less than half a year, would catch the eye of the Emperor of the Xuanhuang Ancient Kingdom and be appointed as an Inspector.
"Lin Xuan, congratulations! Not only have you become a seventh-rank Sky Patrol Guard, but you have also been valued by the Emperor and become an Inspector."
Ye Hongyi glanced at Lin Xuan, handed him the scroll, and then continued, "My Xuanhuang Ancient Kingdom has more than ten million Sky Patrol Guards, but the number of patrol envoys is very small. Just take my Leizhou territory, there are fewer than a handful of patrol envoys."
It's clear that the Emperor truly favors you; you must cherish this golden opportunity..."
"Thank you for the reminder, Lord Sizheng. I will certainly live up to the Emperor's trust." Lin Xuan immediately clasped his hands and said, "However, Lord Sizheng... I have heard of the name of the Inspector, but I do not know what the Inspector is responsible for."
"Our Heavenly Patrol Division patrols the world on behalf of the Emperor and suppresses all the heavens, but the Heavenly Patrol Guards each have their own territorial divisions. The patrol envoys are different; you can go anywhere under the heavens and investigate anything and anyone. Whether it is a king or nobleman, a poor commoner, or a demon or monster."
Ye Hongyi said in a deep voice: "In short, to replace the Emperor, to inspect the world and govern all injustices and unfairness..."
hiss!
Lin Xuan couldn't help but gasp, secretly alarmed.
This inspector's power seems to be extraordinary, much like the so-called imperial envoys in ancient dynasties.
No, he's even more powerful than the imperial envoy.
He could manage everything under heaven. But an imperial envoy isn't that powerful.
As for Zhao Chen, he was completely dumbfounded, staring at Lin Xuan with astonishment and envy in his eyes. He had witnessed Lin Xuan's rise to power, but the speed at which he had risen was simply too fast.
Forget about the seventh-rank Sky Patrol Guards, since the news had already spread.
Unexpectedly, he was even appointed as an Inspector. In less than half a year, he was promoted to a seventh-rank Sky Patrol Guard and Inspector. Lin Xuan is really going to ascend to the heavens!
Indeed, there is no comparison between any two people.
"Lord Sizheng, the Emperor has appointed me as an Inspector, surely there is something he wants me to do!" Lin Xuan took a deep breath and quickly recovered from his shock, then looked at Ye Hongyi and asked.
There's no such thing as a free lunch. He didn't believe that the emperor of the Xuanhuang Ancient Kingdom would appoint him as an inspector for no reason.
After all, his achievements had already earned him a promotion to the seventh-rank Sky Patrol Guard.
The position of this inspector is entirely different.
The Emperor of the Xuanhuang Ancient Kingdom had never even seen his face, so Lin Xuan didn't believe that this guy would have any trust in him.
"There really is something wrong!"
Ye Hongyi nodded slightly, glanced at Lin Xuan with some surprise, then waved to Zhao Chen beside her and said, "Zhao Chen, you can go down now!"
"Yes, Chief Judge!"
Zhao Chen immediately agreed without hesitation and turned to leave.
He wasn't stupid. Ye Hongyi deliberately sent him away because her upcoming conversation with Lin Xuan involved some confidential information that he couldn't possibly know. So he left without hesitation. Some things are better left unknown.
Being a bit of a fool isn't so bad, actually.
After Zhao Chen left, Ye Hongyi beckoned to Lin Xuan and said, "Come in with me..."
As he spoke, he turned and walked into the palace.
Lin Xuan didn't waste any words and immediately followed.
The two entered the palace one after the other, only to find that the previously open palace gates had automatically closed.
Ye Hongyi gave Lin Xuan a meaningful look before saying in a deep voice, "Lin Xuan, you are a smart man, so you naturally know very well that the Emperor's appointment of you as an inspector must have a profound meaning."
The great calamity of the Cycle of Reincarnation has arrived, and the Calamity Clan has emerged. My Xuanhuang Ancient Kingdom will bear the brunt of it.
The Emperor has grand plans and great ambitions. He wants to lead my Xuanhuang Ancient Kingdom and my human race to defy fate, overcome this great calamity, and help my human race dominate another cycle of reincarnation.
Unfortunately, the Jie Clan is far too powerful, and in the struggle between my Xuanhuang Ancient Kingdom and the Jie Clan, we are actually at a disadvantage.
If things had continued like this, I fear my Xuanhuang Ancient Kingdom would not have survived this great calamity.
But your appearance has given this doomed disaster a glimmer of hope for a reversal.
The Emperor has ordered you to be appointed as an inspector and has also given you a task.
Head to Emperor's Peak, seize the Ceasefire Spear located at its summit, and you will be personally received by the Emperor…
After Ye Hongyi finished speaking in one breath, a hint of envy appeared in her eyes as she looked at Lin Xuan.
To be personally received by the Emperor is not only an honor, but also a great opportunity.
Because everyone who is personally received by the Xuanhuang Emperor can make one request to him.
Of all the countless Sky Patrol Guards in the entire Sky Patrol Bureau, only a handful truly have such an opportunity. Even Ye Hongyi, as the Director of the Leizhou Sky Patrol Bureau, has only had one chance.
"Emperor's Peak, Ceasefire Spear..."
Lin Xuan didn't notice the envy in Ye Hongyu's eyes. Instead, he frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "Lord Sizheng, could you please give me information about the Emperor's Peak and the Zhige Spear?"
