Wu Dong: I, Lin Langtian, will not play a supporting role

After Tang Lie was captured, the remaining remnants of the Huoyun Sect were quickly wiped out under the powerful strength of the Referee Army.

Except for the rebellious leader Tang Lie, who was escorted to the Dark City headquarters and tried by the Dark Inquisition himself, all the elders and disciples of the Fire Cloud Sect, totaling more than a thousand people, were wiped out.

As for what happened in Huoyun Sect, I believe it will soon spread to every corner of Nanhe Realm and surrounding areas, greatly deterring those forces that attempt to disobey the rule of the Dark Temple.

Moreover, this battle record only added to the Dark Inquisition's notoriety and became an entry in the Inquisition Army's record of merit.

In the hall of Huoyun Sect, since all the original Huoyun Sect leaders and disciples were destroyed, this place was also occupied by the Judges Army as a temporary meeting place.

"Lan Yan, how many casualties did our Judgment Army suffer when we destroyed the Huoyun Sect?"

Sitting in the first seat was naturally the commander of the Referee Army, Zhong Kui. As the highest executive officer of this mission, he was also responsible for counting his own losses after the war.

Below Zhong Kui, there were four people wearing purple long swords and ghost masks. They were the four flag bearers of the Referee Camp, all of them had reached the perfection of Shengxuan Realm.

Surprisingly, in this high-level meeting of the referee camp, there were actually two ordinary referee guards wearing black swords and ghost face masks sitting in attendance.

And these two people were none other than Lin Langtian and Qingtan.

Neither the battalion chief Zhong Kui nor the four flag chiefs had any objection to their participation in the high-level meeting. After all, in terms of identity, Qingtan was the palace master's direct disciple, and in terms of the merits in suppressing the rebellion, Lin Langtian and Qingtan were the most worthy.

Apart from the battalion chief Zhong Kui who suppressed the rebel leader Tang Lie alone, the contributions made by Lin Langtian and Qingtan could be said to be the greatest among those present.

Especially Lin Langtian. If the blood puppet in the half-step deathly realm joins the battlefield, not only will Qingtan be in danger, but the referee camp will probably lose more manpower.

No one is dissatisfied with them sitting here.

"Reporting to the camp leader, during the destruction of the Fire Cloud Sect, a total of 18 judges and one team leader were killed in our Judgement Camp, 28 judges were seriously injured, and 72 were slightly injured."

Although covered by black clothes, Zhao Yan's delicate body could still be seen. At this time, she stood up, slightly opened her red lips, and said.

"Oh, eighteen judges and guards were killed, including a team leader. This is a lot of losses..."

Hearing this, Zhong Kui frowned slightly. There were only 400 people in the referee camp. This loss ratio was already not low.

Shaking his head, Zhong Kui immediately said: "Although the loss is not small, dying in the battle to suppress the rebellion is the highest honor of our Judgment Army. They died for a good cause. As the head of the battalion, I feel proud of them."

After he finished speaking, Zhong Kui paused for a moment, then looked at another flag chief standing beside him and said, "Zhao Gang, have you searched all the treasure houses of Huoyun Sect? Leave some as compensation for the fallen soldiers, and quickly distribute the rest to the brothers."

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, the tall and burly flag chief quickly stood up and said respectfully.

"Oh, pensions and spoils of war..." Hearing this, Lin Langtian, who was at the end of the seat, raised his eyebrows slightly and murmured in his heart.

I didn't expect that the military system protection is so complete, and there is even a death pension. This is the first time Lin Langtian has seen it since he came to Tianxuan Continent.

Moreover, dividing the spoils was something Lin Langtian had not expected. He originally thought that the treasure house in the Fire Cloud Sect should be sent to the headquarters of the Dark Hall.

After all, as the number one force in the Nanhe Realm, the Huoyun Sect, which has been deeply rooted here for hundreds of years, should have a lot of cultivation resources and treasures, but with just one word from Zhong Kui, they were all divided up.

At this time, Lin Langtian also understood why there were so many dangers in the Dark Tribunal, and why many disciples of the Dark Temple wanted to join it.

It turned out that the method adopted by the Judgement Army was to fight to support the war. As long as the rebel forces could be destroyed, the spoils would be theirs and they would not have to hand them over to the headquarters.

In this way, although the missions of the Dark Inquisition are extremely dangerous and the casualty rate is not low, the rewards obtained are also extremely high. After all, even if a sect's foundation is divided into hundreds of shares, it will still be extremely valuable if it falls into the hands of ordinary Inquisition guards.

As long as one can survive in the Judgement Army, the speed of improving strength will obviously be extremely fast. For a battle maniac, it is simply a holy place for cultivation.

Even Lin Langtian couldn't help but nod secretly at the various rules and regulations of the Dark Court. It was worthy of being the strongest trump card of the Palace Master's line. The training system of the referee army was more cruel and efficient than the breeding of Gu in Yuanmen.

While Lin Langtian was thinking, Zhao Yan stood up again, looked at Zhong Kui with her beautiful eyes, and said, "Sir, the captain who died this time belonged to my third flag. I wonder if you have any recommendations for the replacement of this captain?"

"Oh, to promote a team leader..."

Hearing this, Zhong Kui murmured, tapping his fingers on the table, and slowly said, "Since you are the new leader of the third flag, as the flag leader, do you have any recommendations?"

Hearing what Zhong Kui said, Zhao Yan smiled slightly and said, "I do have a candidate in mind."

"Well...who is it?" Zhong Kui nodded and asked.

Although he is the head of the battalion, he will not interfere too much in the internal affairs of each flag. As long as the candidate recommended by Lan Yan has the right strength and merits, he will agree.

"Haha, the candidate I recommend is..." Having said this, Zhao Yan paused slightly, and then looked at the two referee guards at the end of the seats.

"My candidate is... Lord Qingtan." Lan Yan smiled slightly and said sweetly.

"Lord Qingtan..."

Hearing this, the other three flag chiefs were stunned for a moment, and then they all looked towards the very calm figure in black at the end of the seats.

What they didn't expect was that Lan Yan actually let Qing Tan be the team leader. You know, the latter had just joined the referee army. Isn't this promotion too fast?
Even Zhong Kui was stunned. He obviously did not expect that Lan Yan's candidate would be Qing Tan. Thinking of this, Zhong Kui couldn't help but frowned slightly.

Although Qingtan is the Palace Master's disciple, after joining the Judgement Army, he is just an ordinary Judgement Guard. Lan Yan's behavior is intended to please him, which violates the taboo of the Dark Judgement Office.

Lin Langtian raised his eyebrows and looked at Lan Yan, who exuded the aura of a mature woman. An idea emerged in his mind.

Does this blue flag leader really think that Qingtan is suitable to be the team leader, or is he simply fawning on him, or is it a combination of both?
Thinking of this, Lin Langtian couldn't help but look at Qingtan beside him, but found that the latter's eyes were always as calm as the abyss, without the slightest fluctuation, just like an outsider who had nothing to do with him.

Seeing this, Lin Langtian couldn't help but sigh, Qingtan, has really grown up... At this time, Lan Yan seemed to see Zhong Kui's doubts and confusion, and smiled softly: "I know that the camp leader thinks that Lord Qingtan has just joined the referee army, and it is too fast to serve as the team leader so soon, and it may even make the brothers below think that we are partial.

But, sir camp commander, the purpose of our Judgment Army has always been to speak with merit. In this rebellion suppression mission, Lord Qingtan, in addition to killing dozens of ordinary disciples of the Huoyun Sect, also killed two Huoyun Sect elders who were in the minor success stage of the Shengxuan realm, and the leader of the Changqing Gang who colluded with Tang Lie, Xu Qing, who was in the major success stage of the Shengxuan realm.

With such merit, he is ranked among the top five in this rebellion suppression mission. It is precisely because of his strong achievements and the fact that we never pay attention to seniority or seniority in our referee army that I recommend Lord Qingtan to be the team leader. I believe that the brothers below will not have any doubts. "

“Oh, killing one Shengxuan realm great success and two Shengxuan realm small success…” Upon hearing this, Zhong Kui was also stunned, and then looked at Qingtan in surprise.

Because he had been fighting fiercely with Tang Lie or paying attention to the battle between Lin Langtian and the Blood Puppet, Zhong Kui did not know Qing Tan's performance in the rebellion. But when he heard Lan Yan's account, Zhong Kui could not help but feel surprised.

After being surprised, Zhong Kui couldn't help but sigh in his heart that he was worthy of being the direct disciple of the Palace Master, and it was very likely that he would succeed Bo Xuan and become the sixth Palace Master of the Palace of Darkness in the future.

With such strength and talent, excluding the monster Lin Langtian, he is unique in Beixuan Territory. If he continues to grow at this rate, the day when Qingtan takes charge of the Judgement Army may soon come.

Thinking of this, Zhong Kui also understood why Lan Yan recommended Qing Tan to be the team leader. With such an achievement, even he couldn't find a reason to refuse, not to mention that he didn't want to refuse.

"In that case, from today on, Master Qingtan will serve as the leader of your third flag."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhong Kui's mind moved, and two ghost face masks appeared on the table in front of him. The long swords on these two ghost face masks were both green.

The blue sword represents the team leader level.

With a slight wave of his hand, the ghost face mask with a green sword flew in front of Lin Langtian and Qingtan, and then landed steadily.

"Uh, didn't they promote Qingtan to be the team leader? Why am I included in the list?" Lin Langtian wondered when he saw the green sword and ghost face mask in front of him.

As if seeing Lin Langtian's confusion, Qingtan at the side explained in a voice transmission: "Brother Langtian, in the Dark Court, the Trialist and the Shadow Guard are one, so the levels of the two are always the same.

It’s just that the trial-takers have real power, while the Shadow Guards only have honorary titles. Therefore, although you, Brother Langtian, are wearing a green sword and a ghost face mask, and your rank is the team leader, you have no soldiers under your command.

I'm sorry about this, Brother Langtian, I've wronged you."

After hearing Qingtan's explanation, Lin Langtian nodded suddenly. It turned out that this was just an empty title. It was just a high level but did not have any rights.

In response, Lin Langtian chuckled and said, "It's okay, Qingtan. As a shadow guard, I just need to protect you. I don't need to take on some substantive duties, otherwise it will only be a burden."

Lin Langtian was very open-minded. He was not a member of the Temple of Darkness, and holding a substantive position would be a shackle instead. This was exactly what he wanted.

When Qingtan gradually adapts to the rhythm of the referee army, he can leave without any delay.

"Haha, Lord Qingtan, Shadow Guard, put on a new mask." At this time, Zhong Kui, who was at the first position, said with a faint smile.

Hearing this, Lin Langtian and Qingtan nodded, then took off the original black long sword ghost face masks on their faces and replaced them with brand new green long sword ghost face masks.

And at the moment the mask was taken off, Zhong Kui and the four flag chiefs, who were originally watching Lin Langtian and the other two, could not help but be shocked by the young face of Lin Langtian under the mask.

They had all seen Qingtan, the hall master's disciple, more or less, but they were still somewhat unfamiliar with Lin Langtian. Now, they were surprised to see that Lin Langtian was so young.

He is indeed a young genius.

When Lan Yan saw Lin Langtian's handsome face, she couldn't help but be slightly stunned. Thinking of the warm embrace before, she bit her red lips with her silver teeth, her beautiful eyes flickered slightly, and she couldn't help but have some sexy thoughts in her heart.

"Thank you, Captain, for the promotion." After putting on the new masks, Lin Langtian and Qingtan's aura seemed to be much more fierce at this moment. They immediately stood up and bowed to Zhong Kui.

"Haha, you're welcome. My Judges Army always speaks based on merit. These are what Lord Qingtan deserves. I'm sure Lord Palace Master will be very pleased when he knows about it." Zhong Kui waved his hand and said with a smile.

"I am willing to go through fire and water for the Judge Army, no matter what it takes!"

Qingtan said something that all members of the Referee Army would say after being promoted, and then slowly sat down with Lin Langtian.

Lin Langtian glanced at Qingtan, who was wearing a green sword and a ghost face mask, and seemed to have been refreshed. He sighed in his heart.

This should be the case with Qingtan in the original novel. In the cruel Dark Inquisition, he relied on his merits to be promoted step by step from an ordinary referee guard to team leader, flag leader... and finally became the chief referee of the Dark Inquisition.

Shaking his head, Lin Langtian couldn't help but sigh, on the road to becoming a strong man, one really has to pay a price...

When Lin Langtian sighed, the tall and thin flag chief beside Lan Yan coughed lightly, and then said: "By the way, sir, there is one more matter that you need to deal with personally."

"What's the matter? Even you, Wang Tao, can't handle it." Zhong Kui was slightly stunned and said.

"This matter involves serious matters, and it is not something that a flag leader like me can handle." The flag leader named Wang Tao smiled bitterly, and then said: "After destroying all the elders and disciples of Huoyun Sect, we also found the leaders of many forces in Nanhe Realm in Huoyun Sect.

These people have now been detained, but they explained that they were deceived by Tang Lie and did not participate in the rebellion of Huoyun Sect. It is difficult to tell whether it is true or false. I don't know how to deal with it?"

“The leaders of the many forces in Nanhe Realm?” Upon hearing this, Zhong Kui frowned slightly, and then he felt a headache.

The Nanhe Realm is a large area, and there are numerous forces within it. There are at least dozens of forces that can barely make it to the stage and be invited by the Huoyun Sect.

These forces were involved in the Huoyun Sect's rebellion. According to the rules of the Dark Inquisition, they must all be eradicated.

But according to what Wang Tao said, most of these were injustices. If they were all eliminated indiscriminately, it would not be good for the reputation of the Temple of Darkness.

But if we let them go, who knows if there are any forces like the Changqing Gang that are in cahoots with the Huoyun Sect...

Just when Zhong Kui was having a headache, Lin Langtian beside him suddenly had an idea.

It would be a pity to eliminate all these forces. If I can win them over, and add Zhou Tong and Dugu Qi, then I will have the prototype of my own power... (End of this chapter)
