It was evening.
The Ninth Prince's Residence, Pavilion.
A series of figures stood outside the pavilion, waiting.
These figures were none other than the two Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, Grand Master Nangong Li and Grand Elder Zhou Zetian, who had come from the main branch of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, along with dozens of Heavenly Mystery Pavilion elders at the Primordial Spirit Realm level.
Nangong Qingyue stood next to Nangong Li, the Grand Master of Tianji Pavilion.
At this moment, Nangong Li, the Grand Master of Tianji Pavilion, already knew that Li Jing had killed Jiang Yuanlong, an elder of Xuantian Sect and a master at the fifth level of the Nascent Soul Realm, with a single sword strike.
Furthermore, it is known that Li Jing has at least reached the pinnacle of sword intent.
Both Nangong Li and Zhou Zetian, cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage, appeared extremely reserved outside the pavilion of the Ninth Prince's residence.
After all, they already knew that although Li Jing was only at the first level of the Nascent Soul Realm, his true strength was very likely to surpass that of the two Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.
Even they might not be able to withstand a single sword strike from Li Jing.
Whoosh!
A figure seemed to appear out of thin air in the pavilion and sat down on a stone bench.
This figure was none other than Li Jing.
"Greetings, Your Highness."
Upon seeing Li Jing appear, Nangong Qingyue bowed respectfully.
"Greetings, Your Highness."
Nangong Li and Zhou Zetian, along with the elders of the Tianji Pavilion, bowed to Li Jing.
No need for formalities.
Li Jing waved his hand and spoke to Nangong Li and the others.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Nangong Li and the others expressed their gratitude.
"Do you know why I summoned you to Yanjing City to see me?"
Li Jing looked at Nangong Li, the Grand Master of Tianji Pavilion, with a calm expression.
He already knew from the moment Nangong Li and the others arrived.
Although Nangong Li, the Grand Master of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, has not yet stepped into the Cave Heaven Realm, which is above the Divine Transformation Realm, he has already reached the peak of the seventh level of the Divine Transformation Realm, and is only one step away from the eighth level of the Divine Transformation Realm.
Zhou Zetian, the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, was at the Lesser Completion of the Fourth Level of the Divine Transformation Realm.
"I know, so I have summoned all the elders of our Heavenly Mystery Pavilion and brought them to Yanjing City to pay their respects to Your Highness."
"Furthermore, I have already given the order that from today onwards, our Tianji Pavilion headquarters will move to Yanjing City and be stationed there permanently to ensure that we can complete all the tasks assigned to us by Your Highness as soon as possible."
Nangong Li said with a solemn expression.
"Nangong Li, from this day forward, the Tianji Pavilion will be divided into two: the Open Department and the Dark Department."
"You will be in charge of the open department, and Nangong Qingyue will be in charge of the covert department."
Li Jing said calmly.
"Open forces? Covert forces?"
Nangong Li and the others looked at Li Jing with suspicion.
"I will become a patrol officer in the Yan Kingdom, specifically responsible for reconnaissance, arrest, and interrogation!"
"Acting on behalf of Heaven, I will execute first and report later!"
"The Sky Patrol Division is independent of the Six Ministries, yet it stands alongside them, and is responsible only to me."
"Nangong Qingyue will assume the position of Grand Astrologer of the Celestial Patrol Division!"
"Of course, whether it's the open unit or the dark unit, they all belong to the Sky Patrol Division."
"It's just that members of the Ming Department do not travel the world as members of the Yan Kingdom's Sky Patrol Bureau, but still travel the world as members of the Tianji Pavilion, in order to avoid people knowing the relationship between the Tianji Pavilion and our Yan Kingdom."
"Therefore, Nangong Li's true identity is actually the Junior Celestial Inspector of the Celestial Patrol Division of the Yan Kingdom, second only to the Grand Celestial Inspector Nangong Qingyue."
Li Jing pondered for a moment, then said to Nangong Li and the others, "Nangong Qingyue is a third-rank official, and Nangong Li is a third-rank official."
At the same time, two departments were established within the Sky Patrol Bureau: the Surveillance Department and the Assassination Department.
The Supervisory Department was headed by Zhou Zetian, while the Assassination Department was headed by Lü Buwei.
Both the Surveillance Bureau and the Assassination Bureau were divided into sixteen guard posts.
Each garrison was headed by a commander.
The Director of the Inspection Department and the Director of the Assassination Department were both of the fourth rank, while the Commander of the Garrison was of the fourth rank.
As for the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, the Grand Elder is a fourth-rank official, the Elders are fourth-rank officials, the heads of the various branch pavilions are fifth-rank officials, and the heads of ordinary branch pavilions are fifth-rank officials.
Upon hearing Li Jing's words, Nangong Li and the others showed surprise and delight. They had never expected that Li Jing would set up a Sky Patrol Division specifically for their Heavenly Mystery Pavilion.
Moreover, they could tell from the duties of the Sky Patrol Division that it was a special agency that was far more important than the Six Ministries.
Although Nangong Li was not appointed as the Grand Celestial Inspector of the Celestial Patrol Division, but only as the Junior Celestial Inspector, which was second only to the Grand Celestial Inspector, he was somewhat disappointed.
However, just thinking that Nangong Qingyue was a member of his Nangong family was enough to make Nangong Li feel very satisfied.
He also understood that Li Jing's arrangement made it impossible for Nangong Li, the Grand Master of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, to go to the Heavenly Patrol Division to serve as the Grand Master of Heaven, and for Nangong Qingyue to go to the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion to serve as the Grand Master.
If Nangong Qingyue were to take on the position of Grand Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, her current cultivation level and prestige within the pavilion would certainly be insufficient.
However, if the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion were split into two and a separate Heavenly Patrol Bureau were established, with Nangong Qingyue in charge of the Heavenly Patrol Bureau, the elders in the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion would not be able to say anything.
After all, the reason why Tianji Pavilion was able to get on Li Jing's good side was because of Nangong Qingyue.
Without Nangong Qingyue, it wouldn't be easy for their Tianji Pavilion to pledge allegiance to Li Jing.
Nangong Qingyue stood there in a daze, never expecting that Li Jing would directly appoint her as the Grand Celestial Inspector of the Celestial Patrol Division, placing her above Nangong Li, the Grand Master of the Celestial Mystery Pavilion.
Although Nangong Li continued to lead the Tianji Pavilion, it was predictable what would happen.
