Even though among those hundreds of thousands of common people, there was not a single one Lin Xuankong recognized!
However, watching hundreds of thousands of unard mbers of his own kind being herded in the valley, always at risk of being captured and devoured by Demons, any humane mber of the Human Race would not stand idly by!
Back then, General Yang Luofeng had been deeply angered by the sight, and Lin Xuankong, too, could never forget the countless common people in the valley—clothed in rags and treated like livestock!
He frowned, thinking silently. In the territories of those Great Demons, a single valley near Flying Bear Peak alone holds hundreds of thousands of common people! The other Great Demon territories are likely the sa, each probably holding at least hundreds of thousands more! If I could move those people from the Sealing Demon Mountain Range into the Secret Realm, it would alleviate their suffering, preventing them from becoming food for the Demons. At the sa ti, it would help my Secret Realm develop quickly. This is truly an idea that kills two birds with one stone!
Thinking of this, Lin Xuankong looked at his two wives.
"Your two little heads are much more useful than this old one of mine!" he said. "Alright, once I’ve gathered so common people, you, Young Lady, will be the Minister of dicinal Materials, and Yufei, you will be the Minister of State Affairs!"
Upon hearing this, Lii Xiaolan and Zhao Yufei both laughed.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"As you command, Your Majesty!"
"Call husband!"
Lin Xuankong reached out and embraced them both.
Looking at their beautiful faces, he thought to himself: Yufei has been serving as a Steward at the Yin Talisman Sect. Her personality is extrely competitive. Giving her so manpower and sufficient authority to manage these common people will be no problem at all. Young Lady, my ’Main Palace,’ is kind-hearted. She didn’t abandon even when I was old, weak, and sickly. Appointing her to manage the dicinal herb cultivation will perfectly complent Yufei. I hope this plan of mine succeeds! But all of this depends on whether Miss Xiao can successfully refine an Immortal Artifact for ... Otherwise, I’ll have no chance to defeat the countless Demons in the Sealing Demon Mountain Range, let alone rescue those countless common people.
「Three days passed in the blink of an eye.」
This morning, Lin Xuankong and Zhao Yufei erged from the Secret Realm. They left the Lin Residence and arrived at the Yin Talisman Sect’s main hall, entering the council chamber together.
Seeing the two enter, dozens of Stewards from the Great Marsh Prefecture, dozens of Stewards and Deputy Stewards from the Outer City, seven or eight other Stewards, and four Grand Chief Stewards—including Hall Master Li Zhenhuan, Chief Steward Jiang Yuran, and Yin Talisman Sect Leader Jiang Haiyan—all stood up.
Sect Leader Jiang swiftly approached Lin Xuankong and led him to the seat of honor.
Then, the Yin Talisman Sect Leader looked at all the core mbers of the Yin Talisman Sect present and said, "Three days ago, the incident at the Third Princess’s banquet... I trust many of you have heard about it by now."
Everyone nodded and looked at Lin Xuankong in unison.
Jiang Haiyan’s face was alight with excitent as he continued, "Since our ancestors established the Yin Talisman Sect a millennium ago, apart from the first few generations of Sect Leaders and founders who brought great prestige to our sect, the Yin Talisman Sect has been in gradual decline for hundreds, even thousands of years!
"In our generation, here in the Great Marsh Prefecture, we’ve been suppressed by many newly risen factions and prominent families! I, Jiang Haiyan, thought I would never live to see the day the Yin Talisman Sect would prosper again!"
As he spoke, his face flushed with excitent, his old eyes brimming with emotion.
So of the older Stewards present also grew emotional, clearly recalling the Yin Talisman Sect’s decline in previous years.
Jiang Haiyan continued, "Fortunately! Fortunately, our Yin Talisman Sect is blessed with great fortune, for we managed to recruit an extraordinary person like Steward Lin!
"At the Third Princess’s birthday banquet, among hundreds of Sixth Layer, Seventh Layer, and even Eighth Layer experts, none discovered the flaw in that Seventh Layer Stone Monkey. Yet, Steward Lin, with his discerning eye, saw through the deception and saved the Third Princess’s life!
"Because of this, Steward Lin is now a Saint-Protector General, a position comparable to a Marquis, and he possesses a Saint Protection Jade Token! With it, he can command Celestial Sect Elders, Holy Dragon Association Elders, and the Prefects of every prefecture. He can even command the heroes of the land and mobilize Martial Cultivators from all families, sects, and factions!
"Such an honor! Even our ancestors only achieved it once, and that was when they reached the Ninth-Layer Realm!"
Jiang Haiyan looked at Lin Xuankong, his expression fervent. "The position of Saint-Protector General! Not just in the hundred cities of the Great Marsh Prefecture, but in the entire Six Prefectures of Nanjiang, he is the only one!"
Upon hearing this, everyone present looked thrilled.
Being in the sa sect as the Saint-Protector General, the nurous Stewards and Grand Chief Stewards of the Yin Talisman Sect were, naturally, imnsely proud.
The most excited among them was, naturally, Lin Xuankong’s forr superior, Ma Jiang.
Known for his straightforward personality, Ma Jiang clenched his fists, his excitent palpable, and couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
"HAHAHA! I always said General Xuankong is kind-hearted, tenacious, and possesses imnse talent! He was destined for great things! And yet, in just a few months, General Xuankong has made such a renowned na for himself, becoming the undisputed number one general of the Great Marsh Prefecture! Even I am astounded!"
Lin Jiao also burst out laughing. "Indeed! General Lin is truly aweso, incredibly aweso, phenonally aweso! HAHAHA!"
Standing beside him, Nalan Yunzhu frowned as she saw her husband, Lin Jiao, speaking so effusively. This ti, however, she didn’t stop him. After all, Steward Nalan Yunzhu was also very happy at this mont.
At this mont, Jiang Haiyan’s expression beca solemn, and he spoke:
