Mortal Mirror

Li Ergou's talent: the worst, damaged, the absolute worst, worse than a dog.

After reading the information, Zhou Bu悔 couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, thinking, 'What the hell is this?'

How could someone with such extraordinary talent have such poor roots? His face turned cold, and he immediately summoned his subordinates to inquire. However, the people below didn't know the reason; they had simply gathered the information.

Zhou Bu悔 calmed down, his eyes narrowed slightly as he said, "Forget it, no matter what, this person is still quite good. And he even managed to get Cui Bancheng to be his introducer. Just that alone is something ordinary people can't achieve.

But, although this person has a lot of experience in officialdom, he is still young and doesn't know what true bloody slaughter is.

He doesn't know how cruel our Divine Dragon Hall truly is.

Let him be a squad leader first, let him adapt, and then we'll see how he performs."

The subordinates immediately nodded, but hesitated for a moment and asked, "My lord, which division should he be assigned to?"

The Divine Dragon Hall is divided into eight divisions: Azure Dragon Division, White Tiger Division, Vermilion Bird Division, Black Tortoise Division, Hidden Dragon Division, Ying Dragon Division, Mirage Dragon Division, and Azure Dragon Division.

They are also known as the Eight Divisions of Heavenly Dragons. The first four divisions are the public face of the Divine Dragon Hall, handling many open affairs. The latter four divisions usually handle matters that are difficult for the former to deal with.

When the eight divisions combine, they are invincible. There is a saying in the martial world: 'Where the Divine Dragon Hall passes, not a blade of grass grows, and both humans and ghosts avoid it.' This shows how terrifying the Divine Dragon Hall is.

Even so, many people break their heads trying to get in. However, it's not a place you can just come to. The selection of personnel for the Divine Dragon Hall is very strict. It's rare for someone like Li Ergou to get in through connections.

Zhou Bu悔 thought for a moment and said, "Hmm, let him go to the Azure Dragon Division. Perhaps we can see this kid's true colors there."

"Yes, sir!" The person didn't waste any more words and quickly left.

Zhou Bu悔 stood with his hands behind his back, a puzzled expression on his face. "How strange, what is it that could make even Cui Bancheng interested? That's not easy. Li Ergou, what an awful name."

Little did Li Ergou know that a single word from a great figure could determine his entire life.

At that moment, he was standing in a hall when he soon saw a cold-faced person coming towards him. The person hesitated for a moment when he saw Li Ergou, but still managed to force a smile.

After all, this little guy was no simple character. He had actually alarmed that lord to personally inform them. It seemed his identity was extraordinary. Everyone who entered the Divine Dragon Hall had to go through countless life-and-death trials to be eligible to join.

But this guy? He wasn't selected from below, but suddenly inserted. This was against the rules, very much against the rules. But, the rules were just a word from the superiors.

Even so, there hadn't been such an exception in the Divine Dragon Hall for a long time.

With many thoughts in his mind, Wen Musheng nodded slightly to Li Ergou and said, "Truly, the younger generation is to be feared. I am Wen Musheng, Azure Dragon General of the Azure Dragon Division. By order of the superiors, I hereby announce that you are a squad leader in my Azure Dragon Division."

"Squad leader!" Li Ergou was slightly surprised. Why? It wasn't that he felt the position of squad leader was too small.

With his abilities and Cui Bancheng's letter of introduction, he thought he could at least get a Dragon Guard position. It seemed that Cui Bancheng and Zhou Bu悔's relationship was only so-so; they didn't give him much face.

Before coming, he had specifically done his homework and inquired about the Divine Dragon Hall. The person with the highest position in the Divine Dragon Hall was the Hall Master, Zhou Bu悔.

Below him were the Eight Divisions of Heavenly Dragons, also known as the Eight Divisions. The positions in each division, from bottom to top, were: Squad Soldier, Squad Leader, Dragon Guard (Dragon Guards were divided into three ranks: First-Rank Azure Dragon Guard, Second-Rank Battle Dragon Guard, Third-Rank Divine Dragon Guard), Dragon General, Dragon Marshal, and Division Master, Deputy Hall Master, Hall Master.

All positions followed a rule of three. For example, a squad leader could command three squad soldiers. In the Divine Dragon Hall, this was a sesame seed-sized position.

Well, even a sesame seed-sized official is still an official.

Seeing Li Ergou's surprised expression, Wen Musheng seemed to see through his thoughts and couldn't help but say, "Young man, don't be impatient. As the saying goes, haste makes waste.

You must know that our Divine Dragon Hall is not like other places. This is a place where the imperial power is specially granted the right to execute first and report later. Even a squad leader has terrifyingly great power.

Although this doesn't quite match your cultivation level—normally, a Nascent Soul cultivator should be able to advance to the next level and become an Azure Dragon Guard—your qualifications are still shallow, and you know nothing about what the Divine Dragon Hall does.

So, starting from the bottom is not a bad thing. Work hard, and the future is yours."

Hearing Wen Musheng's words, it seemed that was indeed the case. Most importantly, the person in front of him was a dignified Dragon General. The fact that this person could speak to him like this must be because of that letter.

Li Ergou had been in the officialdom for many years and naturally wouldn't be unreasonable. He understood the principle of knowing when to stop. Now that people had already given you a lot of face, if you didn't appreciate it, hehe, that would be biting the hand that feeds you, and the consequences would be severe.

Therefore, he immediately said, "Thank you for your guidance and care, sir. I will keep your teachings in mind and work hard to never disgrace you."

Li Ergou's words indicated that he would follow the lord from now on. This was a choice of path. In the big dyeing vat that was the imperial court, if you wanted to live well, live better, and constantly improve, you had to choose a path.

The consequences of being a fence-sitter were that no one would love you, and that was unacceptable.

Hearing Li Ergou's words, Wen Musheng couldn't help but sigh inwardly. No wonder this little guy could thrive in the officialdom; he was indeed not an easy person to deal with.

He had naturally read Li Ergou's resume, so on the one hand, he was very interested in Li Ergou, and on the other hand, there was the attitude of the superiors. The person personally arranged by that lord was not simple.

Thus, he nodded and said, "Good, good, I like smart and clever young people like you. Work hard, the future belongs to you. We old guys are just yesterday's news. Work hard, I have high hopes for you."

Li Ergou didn't waste any words. He took the letter of appointment, bid farewell, and went to retrieve his token, clothes, and weapons.

There were countless cultivators here, and ordinary people were long accustomed to sword cultivators flying all over the sky. Especially at night, the rainbow light emitted by the flying swords illuminated half the night sky. Flying swords flew everywhere above the giant city, dazzling and beautiful.

Li Ergou flew on his sword. Although it consumed a lot of spiritual power, it was the only way. After all, such a large place would probably take several days to walk out of the city.

Soon, he flew out of the city, but he didn't stop. He continued to fly until he reached a desolate mountain three hundred miles away from Da Du.
