The only player in the world of Shrouding the Heavens

The entire Ji family mobilized.

Duan De has already crossed the line with the Ji family!

If it were before, this guy would have only stolen some of the burial goods, and the Ji family could have turned a blind eye.

But now, the corpses of the powerful figures of the Ji family have all been taken away by this guy!

No one knows what that beast will do with those powerful corpses, but one thing is foreseeable: if those powerful corpses really appear, it will be a disaster for the Ji family's reputation!

On the other hand, Su Zhe successfully seized absolute control of the Ji family team by relying on the Ji family token.

He still led from the front, and still slaughtered half the population.

But this time, he brought back most of the Ji family members despite being seriously injured, and was praised by the Ji family elders!

They also incorporated another remnant force, increasing their numbers from over thirty to over eighty, even more than before.

"Brother, Duan De is too cunning. He's laid so many traps, waiting for us brothers to walk right into his trap. We can't afford to do this..."

Ji Jia's eldest son spoke up.

Su Zhe appointed this guy as the vice-captain, which meant he was his lackey.

It has to be said that this lackey is very useful. He has been giving Su Zhe advice and suggestions. When Su Zhe returned "seriously injured" before, it was Ji Jia's eldest brother who persuaded the other four people to vouch for him and help him get promoted.

"You mean, we need more people?" Su Zhe asked, frowning.

The next moment, a familiar voice rang out.

Triggering Task:

Your subordinates seem to want you to advance further and become a high-ranking member of the Ji family!

Task posted: Rise to the top!

Task requirement: Improve your status within the Ji family as much as possible.

Mission Rewards: Rewards will be awarded based on your status (the highest reward may be the right to use an Imperial Weapon).

Su Zhe's eyes lit up when he saw the reward.

Good heavens, I came here specifically for the Void Scripture, intending to just hang around and slowly unlock it.

Now it seems I can start a side quest?

Perhaps Su Zhe was thinking too seriously, because Ji A'da and the others exchanged glances and nodded to each other.

"Big brother, don't forget, even the renowned masters praised us, saying we are a very rare team, and have the potential to become the most exceptional team in the Ji family in the future..."

"Yes, brother, you always lead from the front, and you've long earned our support!"

"Your strength is not weak either, are you really content to be just a low-ranking captain?"

The five Ji brothers spoke softly, their voices carrying a seductive quality.

They saw it clearly: if this older brother could climb the ranks, they, as the younger brothers, would also benefit.

"What you're saying makes sense, but this isn't really a good idea..."

Su Zhe hesitated.

"Brother, don't hesitate any longer. You might actually be able to wear this yellow robe."

Ji Jia A Wu, with delicate fingers, draped a yellow robe over Su Zhe.

This is a robe symbolizing status, unlike the red robes of those cannon fodder squads or their current orange robes.

Those who can don the yellow robe must at least be genuine cultivators of the Four Extremes, capable of commanding hundreds of cultivators.

Although they cannot be compared with the renowned members of the Ji family who possess noble bloodlines, they are still considered a core force in the external power structure of the Ji family.

"You've really put me in a lot of trouble!"

Su Zhe quickly waved his hand and sighed heavily.

However, a group of brothers below raised their arms and shouted excitedly.

High above, the renowned Ji family elders of the Four Extremes Secret Realm, upon witnessing this scene, not only felt no offense but also nodded with a look of satisfaction.

"This Dong Xuelian is truly a talented individual; my Ji family needs someone like her!"

He spoke with a light laugh, his eyes full of admiration.

The news that Su Zhe was forced to wear the imperial robe quickly reached the ears of other teams, causing dissatisfaction among some.

So much so that when Su Zhe casually walked past the squad leader of the same rank while wearing a yellow robe, a group of people gritted their teeth.

"Why?! We're all cultivators from the Dao Palace Secret Realm, so why does this kid get to wear the yellow robe?"

Someone spoke up indignantly, pointing at the yellow robe on Su Zhe's body, clearly dissatisfied.

Su Zhe smiled and pretended not to hear, but he was actually overjoyed.

Making threats without any real intent is just reluctantly whining.

"running dog!"

A burly man with thick eyebrows and big eyes spoke in a low voice and spat heavily at Su Zhe.

Su Zhe frowned and looked at the burly man.

He remembered that guy, the captain of the 76th Squad, who had previously tried to compete with him for that incomplete squad, but lost to him.

They've been targeting me, both openly and secretly, for the past few days.

"Lackey? Ji Zhuang, what do you mean?"

The smile on Su Zhe's face vanished instantly, replaced by a cold expression. He stared at the burly man and asked, word by word.

"You know it in your heart!" the burly man Ji Zhuang said defiantly, as if to say, "I just look down on you."

Su Zhe suddenly smiled and clapped his hands.

"Very well! Ji Zhuang, I've long heard of your treacherous schemes and your flirting with other powerful forces, but I never imagined you would actually harbor such rebellious intentions!"

While clapping, Su Zhe spoke with a cold smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present looked at Ji Zhuang with doubt in their eyes.

"Don't make false accusations!"

Seeing so many people looking at him, Ji Zhuang panicked and instinctively took two steps back, pointing at Su Zhe and cursing loudly.

"Slanderous accusations?" Su Zhe laughed, crossing his arms as if watching a show.

"We all work for the Ji family and receive their favors, yet you call me a lackey? What, are you unwilling to work for the Ji family? Or have you already found another master and call all those who work for the Ji family lackeys!"

Su Zhe began to ask, his speech becoming faster and louder, until he was almost shouting at the end!

Ji Zhuang's eyes widened, and he instantly realized what was happening, taking a few steps back in a panic.

"No...I didn't..."

Ji Zhuang's voice trembled as he quickly denied it.

"You said it yourself, judging those of us who work diligently for the Ji family as mere lackeys!"

Su Zhe shouted a question.

It's still about labeling people.

It's still a case of misrepresenting the facts.

It's still the same old style of play.

But it works surprisingly well.

In an instant, everyone present looked at Ji Zhuang, their eyes filled with disdain and even disgust.

Ji Zhuang realized he had said the wrong thing. He opened his mouth to explain, but before he could speak, a large hand slammed down and crushed him into dust.

"Commander Dong Xuelian, in Ji Zhuang's squad, if anyone attempts to defect again, they will be executed!"

A cold voice came, sealing Ji Zhuang's fate.

The group of people fell silent, quickly lowering their heads, not daring to offend the superior person above them.

"Dong Xuelian, come here..."

The voice rang out again, carrying an air of authority.
