Sheng Fu

Two hours later.

Outside the Hengchangzong Mountain Gate.

Today the sky is clear and the weather is fine, perfect for a day trip.

Yuwen Jun, Jing Peiyao, Jing Hanqing, Suo Chengguo, and other members of the Hengchang Sect's inner cabinet had been waiting outside the mountain gate for about half an incense stick's time.

No one likes the feeling of waiting, but waiting for happiness is a different state of mind.

Knowing that 30,000 troops would be joining the Hengchang army today, they would still be very motivated, even if they had to wait from dawn to dusk.

Suo Chengguo stood behind Yuwen Jun, feeling slightly uneasy. With only one night to calm his mind, Suo Chengguo was naturally unable to fully recover to his peak condition.

Although Suo Chengguo's military career had its merits, and he had his own loyal followers in the Hengchang army, and had made some contributions on the battlefield of the Demon Realm, he still felt that he was incompetent and had only put himself in a position of power when he thought about leading two generals of the Lingxiao Realm.

Although Yuwen Jun was good at comforting people, Suo Chengguo knew what was going on in his heart.

But if you want to do great things, sometimes you have to be a little naive. Suo Chengguo understands this principle, but when the situation falls on him, even if he understands a lot of principles, it is difficult to apply them.

Suddenly, a void passage opened up ahead.

A crisp, strong wind swept through the area, causing the trees in the nearby mountains to sway slightly, and a powerful aura of metal and steel swept towards the Hengchang Sect members.

A strong wind blew everyone's long hair, which also made Suo Chengguo's mind more chaotic.

Kong Chong was the first to step out of the void passage. Today, Kong Chong was dressed in a purple official robe, with a dignified and noble air, and an extraordinary demeanor.

Because it was during a period of great contention, Kong Chong, as the Minister of War, held a slightly higher position than the other ministers. Among the six ministers, only Kong Chong was allowed to wear purple robes.

Immediately afterwards, Guan Chong and Huang Teng appeared, followed by 30,000 troops who stood in an orderly fashion on the long post road outside the mountain gate.

Kong Chong was slightly surprised when he saw Yuwen Jun, not expecting him to be standing outside the mountain gate so early to welcome the army. He quickly ran to Yuwen Jun, bowed deeply instinctively, and said respectfully, "Kong Chong greets Your Highness."

Yuwen Jun smiled and raised his hand in greeting, saying, "No need for such formalities."

Kong Chong also noticed Suo Chengguo standing behind Yuwen Jun. Kong Chong had a slight impression of this young general. The reason for this slight impression was that when Suo Chengguo led his army to Hengchang Sect, he caused a small disturbance in the capital. At that time, everyone thought that Suo Chengguo led his army to Hengchang Sect to monitor Yuwen Jun. He was a spy that His Majesty or someone else had specially planted next to Yuwen Jun.

Unexpectedly, as time passed, this young general actually gained Yuwen Jun's favor and showed the potential to become a famous general.

Interestingly, when Suo Chengguo was still a junior officer in the capital, he had no interaction with Kong Chong. At that time, Suo Chengguo knew Kong Chong, but Kong Chong did not know Suo Chengguo.

"You two come here quickly!" Kong Chong turned around and shouted loudly to Guan Chong and Huang Teng.

Guan Chong and Huang Teng exchanged a glance, then Guan Chong instantly teleported to the group's side.

Yuwen Jun also subconsciously took a step forward, looking at the two Lingxiao generals with satisfaction.

Upon close eye contact, Guan Chong and Huang Teng undoubtedly felt an irresistible and terrifying pressure emanating from Yuwen Jun. That thrilling night in the Purple Qi Mountains was something these two would never forget.

"Guan Chong greets Your Highness!"

"Huang Teng greets Your Highness!"

As the two commanders bowed, the 30,000 troops behind them all knelt on one knee and roared, "Greetings, Your Highness!"

"See Your Highness!"

"See Your Highness!"

Yuwen Jun laughed loudly, "Let bygones be bygones, from now on we are all brothers-in-arms. Welcome to Hengchang." "From now on, you will be the Azure Dragon Army."

"Your commander is Suo Chengguo, a genius of Hengchang Sect, destined to be a famous general who will be remembered in history!"

With just a few words, Suo Chengguo was brought to the forefront from behind the scenes.

Upon hearing Yuwen Jun's shout, Suo Chengguo subconsciously raised his chest.

Huang Teng and Guan Chong felt a chill in their hearts. They didn't care who their commander was, but rather that they had just arrived and already earned the title of the Azure Dragon Army.

Yuwen Jun was originally the young master of the Dragon Clan, and bestowing upon him the title of Azure Dragon was enough to prove that the sect they had joined treated them as one of their own.

The 30,000 soldiers were even more excited upon hearing this.

In Hengchang's army, anyone with a name related to the dragon is considered a legitimate member of the ranks.

Yuwen Jun turned to look at Suo Chengguo. Before Suo Chengguo could react, Yuwen Jun pulled him in front of Huang Teng and Guan Chong.

This moment was both an encounter and a test.

Both Guan Chong and Huang Teng subconsciously extended their Lingxiao Perception and immediately discovered that Suo Chengguo's true essence was inexhaustible, his innate talent was quite spiritual, and a pure and righteous aura permeated between his brows.

Although it is said that there is only the Returning Origin Realm, in fact, most of the Five Masters of Nanshan and the Seven Classics of the North are also in the Returning Origin Realm. Even Zhang Benchu, who is known as a general star, is in the Returning Origin Realm.

Ultimately, the Hengchang Sect is still primarily composed of young people.

"General Guan Chong of the Left pays his respects to the Commander-in-Chief!"

"General Huang Teng of the Right pays his respects to the Commander-in-Chief!"

"The Azure Dragon Army pays respects to its Commander-in-Chief!"

The army paid homage to their commander-in-chief, their spirits soaring to the heavens. In that instant, the fog in Suo Chengguo's heart was completely shattered. His blood surged, he took a deep breath, bowed deeply to the 30,000-strong army, and said loudly, "I am deeply grateful for the support of my brothers. From now on, Suo Chengguo will be loyal to my brothers through thick and thin, sharing life and death!"

Seeing that Suo Chengguo had completely let go, Yuwen Jun felt satisfied.

"Excellent! A banquet has been prepared within the Hengchang Sect, firstly to celebrate the establishment of the Azure Dragon Army, and secondly to welcome the Minister of War. We shall not leave until we are thoroughly drunk!" Yuwen Jun said with great enthusiasm to the front of him.

Upon hearing that the event was intended to welcome him back, Kong Chong subconsciously lowered his head slightly, feeling somewhat unworthy.

However, in a short while, the world seemed to turn upside down, and the 30,000-strong army arrived at Hengchang Sect.

In the central square, tables and chairs are arranged in rows, and the aroma of wine and meat fills the air.

"Drink to your heart's content, without any reservations!" Yuwen Jun shouted again.

Without needing Yuwen Jun's prompting, Suo Chengguo subconsciously pulled Huang Teng and Guan Chong by the hand and walked towards a spacious table on the side, where the Qinglong Army's core members were undoubtedly gathered.

Although it is called the Azure Dragon Army, in fact, only Suo Chengguo is an outsider to the Azure Dragon Army.

Today, Suo Chengguo naturally had to drink with them and get to know many of the elite members of the Azure Dragon Army. Although the time was short, he could build as many relationships as possible.

Kong Chong naturally sat at the same table as Yuwen Jun, Jing Peiyao, and Jing Hanqing.

"I roughly understand why you look so worried, but the new policy has been implemented, and the road ahead will still be difficult. Let's encourage each other in the future." Yuwen Jun raised his cup to Kong Chong, who looked slightly troubled.

Although Qiu Qing's death is sad, on second thought, we can't stay sad like this forever... (End of Chapter)
