In those years when I was a mortal and a demon

Chapter 621 Command

Faced with the aggressive posture of the Elephant Head, Lu Yuan remained expressionless and did not offer any explanation.

"Fellow Daoist Xiang, this is what happened. Fellow Daoist Lu was on his way to Shiyin City when he stumbled upon Brother Zhong of my Night Owl Guard trapped in a sea of ​​insects. While trying to rescue him, he was accidentally attacked by over a dozen mid-level borers. Unfamiliar with these borers, he was inadvertently inadvertently inhaled by their aura, leading to his current condition. Brother Zhong and I can both testify to this."

Zheng Feng had discovered the problem of moth spirit in Lu Yuan long before coming here, and learned the reason through Zhong Lian.

"Besieged by more than ten mid-level borers?" Elephant Head looked at Lu Yuan in disbelief again.

"Didn't fellow Daoist Xiang realize that Brother Lu's realm is the late stage of great success?" Zhong Lian said.

"How come I didn't notice that Fellow Daoist Zheng is also in the late stage of great success. But Fellow Daoist Zheng, ask yourself, if you were in my place, could you withstand the siege of more than ten mid-level borers alone?" Elephant Head asked with a sneer.

Zheng Feng's eyes narrowed upon hearing this. After all, he had heard the news from Zhong Lian. At the time, he was mostly preoccupied with the reason why Lu Yuan exuded such a strong moth aura, so he forgot about this for a moment.

"Fellow Daoist Xiang, I can swear on my inner demon. Otherwise, if it were just a few mid-level borers, they wouldn't be able to trap Zhongmou in the sea of ​​insects, unable to move forward or backward."

After hearing this, the elephant-headed creature's thick trunk twitched slightly, and its gaze wandered over Lu Yuan again. It muttered, "It seems that Fellow Daoist Lu's magical powers are truly extraordinary. But there's still a problem. The people from Guangyuanzhai arrived in Shiyin City a year ago. It's a bit unreasonable that Fellow Daoist Lu took over a year to arrive."

"I'm ashamed. I was in seclusion practicing a secret technique at that time. By the time I learned about the transfer order from the sect, it was already a month ago. That's why I'm too late." As Lu Yuan said this, a light flashed in his hand, and he took out the Guangyuanzhai token he got in Huanye City.

After taking it and taking a look at it, Elephant Head raised his eyebrow and sneered softly, as if he didn't believe what Lu Yuan said.

But just as Lu Yuan was about to explain further, Elephant Head turned around and walked back to his table, took out a golden book, and started pointing at it while muttering something.

"Lu Yuan, a cultivator of the late Demonic Sect, is affiliated with Guangyuanzhai..."

Seeing Elephant Head's words and actions, Lu Yuan and the other two were really surprised.

They originally thought that Elephant Head would question them in detail, but they didn't expect it to end so simply.

Soon after the elephant head finished registering Lu Yuan, he suddenly smiled and looked at Lu Yuan and the other two. Then he made a move with his hand, and a black animal head token flew out from the corner of the table.

Because it was related to himself, Lu Yuan naturally took a look at it with great attention. He saw that it was engraved with patterns like flames, and in the middle of the patterns was a conspicuous magic rune of the word "earth".

"Fellow Daoist Lu, this is your golden book and the identity token of the commander-in-chief of the Black Flame Army. Please report to the Law Hall later." The elephant head handed the token and the golden book to Lu Yuandao.

The commander-in-chief of the Black Flame Army?

Lu Yuan was stunned and did not pick it up rashly. Instead, he turned to look at Zheng Fengzhonglian in confusion.

Zheng Feng was also stunned. Zhong Lian also opened his eyes wide and said, "Fellow Daoist Xiang, this Brother Lu is ready to join our Night Owl Guard. Is the position of leader of the Black Flame Army..."

"Join the Night Owl Guard?" A look of dissatisfaction flashed in the elephant head's eyes. He threw the golden book and token back on the table, then stretched out his hand towards Zhong Lian.

"Do you have a warrant from the Council of Elders?"

"This..." Zhong Lian was speechless for a moment.

"Haha, fellow Daoist Xiang. Brother Lu has just arrived in Shiyin City, so he must be registered first before we can introduce him to the elders. But I believe that once they meet, the elders will definitely agree to his joining the Night Owl Guard." Zheng Feng hurriedly said, then continued slowly:

"But I remember that the leadership of the various armies in Shiyin City has always been appointed by the Council of Elders. Why is Fellow Daoist Xiang being bothered with these trivial matters?"

"Huh! Do you think I want to?

This was arranged by our clan’s ancestor, Saint Tianxiang!

As for the elders in the Council of Elders, they had to focus on the counterattack against Lihuo City in a few days, so they naturally had no extra energy to care about the appointment of the commanders of the various armies in the city. "The elephant head said coldly.

Lord Celestial Saint!

Counterattack Lihuo City!

Zhong Lian and Zheng Feng looked at each other and were both shocked.

Lu Yuanze narrowed his eyes and thought to himself.

Although he didn't know much about the Shiyin City, he knew that the Saint Ancestor of Celestial Phenomenon was one of the two saints who ruled this city.

As for the counterattack on Lihuo City, Lu Yuan suddenly remembered the doubts that Zheng Feng and the others had about the busyness of the Law Hall. It seemed that this was related.

"Why, you don't know about the counterattack on Lihuo City?"

The elephant-headed general looked at Zheng Fengzhonglian and asked with some surprise.

"But we two don't know!" Zheng Feng said seriously.

"Forget it, I don't care whether you really don't know or are pretending not to know.

Let me be frank. Because this counterattack on Lihuo City is of great importance, in addition to the elite divisions of the Tianzi class, we must add some monks with extraordinary magical powers to the other armies in the city to serve as commanders and take command.

You also know that there are more than a hundred armies in the city. Where can I find so many experts?

So since Fellow Daoist Lu has extraordinary magical powers, there is absolutely no way I will let him go to the Night Owl Guard.

Otherwise, in the past, just with your shrewd aura and vague explanations, it would have been difficult for you to even be registered as a military commander, let alone a commander of an army."

The meaning of Elephant Head's words was already very clear, but Lu Yuan still showed no sign of agreeing.

In his opinion, in a war of this scale, low-level guards were mostly consumables, and letting him take charge was tantamount to committing suicide.

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan, relying on his powerful cultivation, secretly sent a message to Zhong Lian: "Fellow Daoist Zhong, considering the favor of the Insect Sea's help, could you please try again for me? After the success, I will definitely reward you handsomely."

Zhong Lian's pupils dilated slightly when he received the message. He really didn't expect that Lu Yuan would dare to send a message under someone's nose.

However, I felt relieved when I found that the elephant head did not react at all.

But at the same time, he was secretly surprised at Lu Yuan's magical powers. After all, being able to keep a cultivator of the middle stage of the Demon Sect unaware at such a close distance was enough to show that Lu Yuan was infinitely close to the realm of the Demon Lord.

Therefore, whether it was for the sake of befriending Lu Yuan or for the generous reward he mentioned, Zhong Lian had no reason to refuse.
