Li Xunhuan said, "It may not be a good thing! The position is good! It can lead to a meteoric rise and become a high-ranking official in the Ziwei Empire! But Brother Hai! Don't forget the political vetting."
Upon hearing this, Yunhai sighed and said, "That's right! I forgot about that! It seems that you, a commoner, are not suited for a career in government!"
Lin Caogen sighed and said, "That's true!"
He could only bow to Zhou You and say, "Lord of the City, your kindness is truly appreciated! I will never forget it! I will repay this kindness by serving you with my life, but unfortunately, I am a free spirit and have no interest in officialdom! I have failed to live up to your good intentions. I hope you will understand and take good care of me in the future!"
Lin Caogen spoke very politely! He both tactfully declined Zhou You's kindness and flattered this Nascent Soul Stage 7-star old monster!
Zhou You was both pleased and disappointed! He was pleased that Lin Caogen had given him such high regard! He was disappointed that Lin Caogen, such a promising talent, had no interest in an official career!
"Lin Caogen! Since you have made up your mind, I will not force you! If you encounter any difficulties in the future in this city of Haojing, you can come to me!"
Lin Caogen bowed and said, "Thank you for your care, City Lord!"
These words shocked everyone! Shi Xingsen's eyes flickered!
Zhou You's words undoubtedly indicated that Lin Caogen was Zhou You's man! Anyone who dared to touch Lin Caogen would inevitably be skinned alive by Zhou You! As the city lord of Haojing City, Zhou You wielded immense power. Although his cultivation at the 7th level of the Nascent Soul stage might not be considered significant in the entire Immortal Gang Continent, he was, after all, an official!
If someone like him gets into trouble, he will be investigated by his superiors! Therefore, whether they are experts from sects or independent cultivators, even if they have grudges against someone, they dare not easily fight against cultivators who are part of the official system.
Leave the arena! Back at the tavern! Find a large private room!
Yunhai organized another celebratory banquet for everyone!
Shi Xingsen paced back and forth in his room!
His junior brother, Shakyamuni, spoke up: "Senior brother, you seem to have something on your mind!"
Shi Xingsen sighed, "That guy named Lin Caogen is no ordinary person! Just now, Qingyan Ke, the leader of the Qingcheng Sect, came to see me! He said that their former leader, Yu Canghai, was killed by Lin Caogen!"
Shakyamuni said, "That Lin Caogen is indeed quite capable! Very strange! But Yu Canghai is a peak 9-star Core Formation stage expert, more than ten times stronger than Hua Xiong! How could Lin Caogen possibly kill him?"
Shi Xingsen solemnly said, "I heard that Lin Caogen is masked! He has a dragon-patterned sword in his hand, which is indestructible! The most terrifying thing is that Lin Caogen rides the Vajra Immortal Wolf!"
The wooden fish in Shakyamuni's hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound!
"What? The ancient divine beast, the Vajra Immortal Wolf! How is that possible?!"
Shi Xingsen said, "I heard that the Qingcheng Sect was destroyed because this Vajra Immortal Wolf first used the Wind Roar and then the Heavenly Thunder Explosion! It even used the Golden Hair Shield when attacked by arrows. This beast already possesses three innate martial arts skills: metal, lightning, and wind! Its strength is incredibly explosive! I heard that it is about to break through to the fourth rank and can walk on air!"
Shakyamuni gasped, "The appearance of the Vajra Immortal Wolf is a major event! Even a Celestial Emperor would be tempted to snatch it as a mount! If we could possess a Vajra Immortal Wolf, we could hold our heads high even when facing a Celestial Emperor!"
Shi Xingsen said, "That's right! Chen's Vajra Immortal Wolf has not yet fully broken through to the fourth rank! Capture and tame it! In the future, it will surely enable us to stand tall on the Immortal Gang Continent."
Shakyamuni asked, "What are your plans, senior brother?"
Shi Xingsen said, "The most urgent task is to integrate the top 100 sects! After the first place is determined in two days, I will give the pills to those three disciples so that they can break through to the Nascent Soul stage! At that time, we will have ten Nascent Soul stage experts in charge, and the top 100 sects will take the lead in bowing down to us! Then we will imprison Lin Caogen on the charge of slaughtering the Qingcheng Sect and force him to reveal the whereabouts of the Vajra Immortal Wolf!"
Shakyamuni said, "Brilliant plan, senior brother! First, unify the martial world! Then investigate the matter of Lin Caogen's massacre of the sect. It's reasonable and justifiable, who would dare to object!"
Shi Xingsen said, "Just today's battle! That Lin Caogen actually managed to seriously injure Hua Xiong! This person is only at the peak of the 9th level of Body Refinement, yet he is already so powerful! If he were to fight against the disciples brought by our Tianyin Temple, I wonder if there would be any changes!"
Shakyamuni picked up the wooden fish from the ground and said, "Senior brother is too cautious! Three disciples at the peak of the 9th level of the Core Formation stage! Each of them is at the level of a sect leader! How could Lin Caogen be a match for them! Even if Lin Caogen can barely hold them off, Fu Yunxuan and Mu Wanqing are only at the 7th level of the Core Formation stage! They are not worth worrying about at all!"
