168: Chapter 168 Wang Li!
Sleepless City.
In the sky above.
Shen Xuansheng stood on Lion Vanguard's back, looking at Ji Wuming. His eyes lit up, especially when he saw the 108 million year army Ji Wuming displayed.
"You mean these are for me?" Shen Xuansheng asked with a smile, looking at Ji Wuming.
Ji Wuming immediately said, "If not for the Jiesheng Sect back then, there would be no Ji Wuming today. I dare not forget the kindness of the Jiesheng Sect's teachings. Even though I am no longer a Disciple of the Jiesheng Sect, in my heart, the Jiesheng Sect will always be my Sect."
"Furthermore, if not for the Jiesheng Sect, I would never have had this Opportunity."
Ji Wuming said seriously, "Revered Master told me long ago, so from that time on, this Ten Thousand Years Army no longer belonged to Sleepless City, but to you, Senior Brother."
After Shen Xuansheng and Ji Wuming left, news from Sleepless City began to spread outward.
Talent Recruitment Residence.
Zhao Shanhe could hardly calm the shock in his heart, so he asked, "May I ask who that person is? To have the City Lord treat him like that, even wanting to give him the Ten Thousand Years Army?"
The person in charge took a deep breath and said, "In the entire Divine Continent Realm, for the City Lord to hand over the Ten Thousand Years Army and maintain such an attitude, it's likely only someone from the Jiesheng Sect."
"If I'm not mistaken, that person must be the Jiesheng Sect Master's Personal Disciple. Otherwise, the City Lord certainly wouldn't act this way!"
Hearing this.
Zhao Shanhe's eyes lit up, and he unconsciously clenched his fists.
"The Ten Thousand Years Army..."
"The Jiesheng Sect Master's Direct Disciple."
Because of his Dao Body, Zhao Shanhe knew quite a bit. He looked toward the City Lord's Manor and thought, "This time, I must seize the chance!"
"No one wants a flawed Dao Body!"
Although he said he didn't care, how could he really not?
Without a complete Dao Body, it meant his path of cultivation was mostly severed; while others surged ahead, he could only linger within a single Realm.
"I hope my guess isn't wrong!"
Zhao Shanhe turned and left the Talent Recruitment Residence, walking toward the City Lord's Manor... "Brother Zhao, wait for me!"
Seeing Zhao Shanhe leave, Chu Tian also followed him... The City Lord's Manor.
Shen Xuansheng sat in the seat of honor, with Ji Wuming attending to him. After drinking some tea, Shen Xuansheng spoke, "Your Ten Thousand Years Army—they aren't real people, are they?"
At first, Shen Xuansheng hadn't noticed, but he later realized that the 108 million year army were not real people—or rather, they weren't living beings at all!
Hearing this, Ji Wuming's eyes showed admiration as he said, "Senior Brother has a Wisdom Eye!"
"That 108 million year army is indeed not made of real people, but a kind of corpse!"
Shen Xuansheng frowned. "Corpses?"
Ji Wuming nodded and said, "The Soul Nurturing Domain has existed in Sleepless City for countless years. When I took over the city, I discovered a Yin-Extreme Land within the Soul Nurturing Domain. It was filled with corpses. Based on their condition, I found that those corpses were all Experts who had once entered the Soul Nurturing Domain and perished there."
"Later, a portion of these corpses actually came back to life, existing as corpses without any intelligence."
"So, I found a Corpse-Control Method to control all these revived corpses. Most importantly, they are unafraid of weapons, water, or fire, possessing what could be called All-Method Immunity. In particular, their bodies can be refined like Magic Treasures. I integrated some precious metals into their bodies, making them even stronger!"
Shen Xuansheng was truly stunned this time. He had originally thought it was just some Puppet technique, but now, listening to Ji Wuming, he thought of something.
"Zombies!"
"Dammit, isn't this exactly the same as the Zombies from the memories of my past life?"
"Are there any new ones? Let me see," Shen Xuansheng asked curiously.
Ji Wuming nodded. "Of course there are."
"However, Senior Brother, before we look, you must accept this Corpse-Control Method. This 108 million year army is my gift to you." Ji Wuming presented a Jade Slip with both hands as he spoke.
Shen Xuansheng didn't stand on ceremony and took the Jade Slip directly. "City Lord Ji, you don't need to call me Senior Brother. If we really go by seniority, I should call you Senior Brother."
Ji Wuming hurriedly said, "You mustn't!"
"You are a Direct Disciple, while I am not. Now that I have inherited another dao lineage, if you acknowledge me, then let me call you Senior Brother!"
Shen Xuansheng looked at the persistent Ji Wuming and patted his shoulder. "There's a reason why Sleepless City has grown so large."
"Alright, Junior Brother. Can you take me to see them now?"
Hearing Shen Xuansheng call him Junior Brother, Ji Wuming immediately smiled. "Of course! Whatever Sleepless City has, if Senior Brother wants it, just say the word!"
"At worst, I'll lead the army of Sleepless City to go and snatch it for you, Senior Brother!"
Just as Ji Wuming was leading Shen Xuansheng to the door...
A middle-aged scholar walked over. Before Ji Wuming could speak, he said directly, "City Lord, that Ten Thousand Years Army is the trump card of our Sleepless City!"
"If you give it away like this, what will happen to our Sleepless City?" As the middle-aged scholar spoke, he glanced at Shen Xuansheng.
Ji Wuming's expression changed instantly.
He scolded, "Wang Feng, the Ten Thousand Years Army belongs to me. I can give it to whomever I choose!"
"Do I need your permission, Wang Feng, to do things?"
Just as Wang Feng was about to speak, a young man rushed over, pulled him back, and said to Ji Wuming, "Please don't blame him, City Lord. My grandfather is also thinking of Sleepless City's best interests."
Ji Wuming snorted. "Wang Li, I know very well what kind of person your grandfather is. If it were anyone else, I would have slapped them to death long ago."
Wang Li pulled at Wang Feng. "Grandfather, the City Lord has his own reasons for such a major decision. Why must you oppose him?"
Wang Feng insisted, "The Ten Thousand Years Army is Sleepless City's trump card. Once the news that it has been given away spreads, will the surrounding powers not set their sights on Sleepless City?"
"The City Lord is cutting off his own path to survival. How can I just sit by and watch?"
Shen Xuansheng listened to these words from the side, and his respect for Ji Wuming grew. To dare to give away his own trump card directly, he was quite a ruthless character.
"However..."
Ji Wuming's harvest far exceeded this Ten Thousand Years Army. Otherwise, why would Ji Wuming give it away in front of everyone? Couldn't he have done it privately?
"None of these old fellows who have lived a long time are simple."
That title of 'Senior Brother' wasn't called out for nothing.
It was traded for with this Ten Thousand Years Army.
However, this Wang Li seemed to trust Ji Wuming quite a lot?
Shen Xuansheng looked at Wang Li and asked, "Wang Li, your grandfather's thinking isn't wrong. What is your view?"
Ji Wuming's eyes also turned toward Wang Li.
Wang Li looked up at Shen Xuansheng. "If I'm not mistaken, you come from the Jiesheng Sect, don't you? And your status within the Jiesheng Sect is not low, correct?"
