203: We are colleagues in the Human Emperor's Banner.

“Who is that beauty? She's so gorgeous!”

In the pool, He Zhiyi asked, looking at the woman with nine fox tails.

“She should be the Master’s summon, right?” Ye Qiuning guessed, her eyes full of admiration, “It’s my first time seeing such an enchanting woman.”

Then, she looked at Chu Mengxuan: “Have you seen her before?”

Chu Mengxuan shook her head blankly and said, “I haven’t seen her, but I’ve smelled her scent on my husband.”

Ye Qiuning was startled and immediately sank, submerging half of her face in the water to alleviate the awkwardness.

He Zhiyi laughed loudly, trying to cover it up, “Don’t overthink it… This is normal. A summon, after all! I even have the scent of the Rainbow Spirit Butterfly on me!”

Chu Mengxuan rolled her eyes at He Zhiyi: “Still need to think? Do you think I just met Qin Yang today?”

He Zhiyi was stunned and spread one hand: “Broaden your horizons.”

Ye Qiuning also floated up from the water and echoed, “Now that’s what you call an Older Sister’s Demeanor.”

Chu Mengxuan snorted, looked at Qin Yang, and thought to herself, “Qin Da Zha, just you wait, I’ll exhaust you tonight!”

Two hours later.

“So tired… need to sleep…”

Inside the room, Chu Mengxuan covered herself with the blanket, hiding to one side like a small animal.

Qin Yang, however, was full of vigor and still wanted more.

At the same time, he was a little surprised.

Tonight’s training, Chu Mengxuan was very active, giving him a different experience.

It’s just that her stamina was still not great; after getting tired a few times, she started asking for a rest.

Qin Yang didn’t force her further.

After changing his clothes, he entered the Human Emperor Domain.

As early as when he obtained the ten thousand souls banner, Qin Yang had thought about transforming it into Emperor-Ranked equipment.

But for some reason, this equipment gave Qin Yang an unusual feeling, as if it was repelling him.

According to Zhang Lingxiao, this should be the repulsion from the VIPs within the banner.

After all, the previous VIPs were all developed by Zhang Lingxiao.

And since the ten thousand souls banner was not bound equipment, when it came into Qin Yang’s hands, those VIPs needed a process of acknowledging a new master.

Upon hearing this, Qin Yang also felt a sense of worry.

Equipment transformed by Emperors Demeanor was exclusively bound to him.

If those VIPs repelled him, they could very likely be directly erased during the transformation process.

Those 20 VIPs weren’t many, but they still added 8 attribute points.

Qin Yang decided to wait for a while, placing the ten thousand souls banner in his item bar and letting it sit for a few days.

With the nüwa stone and xuanyuan sword, two Divine Artifacts, in his item bar, was he afraid of not being able to suppress a few VIPs within the banner?

Indeed, when he checked the ten thousand souls banner today, he could barely feel any repulsion.

This indicated that the time for transformation had arrived.

The reason Qin Yang wanted to perform this in the Human Emperor Domain.

Was because the ten thousand souls banner’s evil Qi was too strong.

Taking it out in the open would likely attract other Professionals.

When Zhang Lingxiao gave it to him, he also hid it in a lake and reinforced it with a certain Formation to conceal its evil Qi.

But in the Human Emperor Domain, there was no such concern.

Qin Yang could operate it without any worries.

The moment he took out the ten thousand souls banner, the Human Emperor Domain immediately became turbulent; above the perpetually sunny Imperial City, a dark cloud actually began to rise.

At the same time, it was accompanied by the sound of ghostly wails.

On the blood-red banner, twelve menacing characters were emblazoned.

Wielding the Sun and Moon, treading Yin and Yang, ten thousand Souls return, assist me in Immortal Ascension.

“Truly extraordinary!”

Qin Yang praised inwardly, and without hesitation, he immediately began the transformation.

Since the ten thousand souls banner was unranked equipment.

Emperors Demeanor regarded it as equipment of the same Rank as Qin Yang, and transformation no longer required Imperial Power.

Buzz!

Accompanied by a hum.

The ten thousand souls banner was enveloped in golden radiance.

Its shape and size were rapidly changing.

Immediately after, a clanging sound rang out.

A series of prompts appeared before Qin Yang’s eyes.

[The ten thousand souls banner has been successfully transformed.]

[You have obtained a secondary weapon: human emperor banner.]

[Item]: human emperor banner.

[Quality]: Red.

[Rank]: Unranked.

[Attributes]: All attributes + 4.

[Entry 1]: Wielder of Immortal Spirits, capable of absorbing all Souls (special units) in the world to become beloved subjects within the banner. For each additional beloved subject, the human emperor banner’s attributes become stronger, and the upper limit increases, unlocking new entries.

[Entry 2]: Human Emperor, can release the Soul spirits of beloved subjects within the banner, forming a Soul spirit storm that sweeps across heaven and earth.

[Entry 3]: Mountain River Formation, control all beloved subjects within the banner to form a Mountain River Formation, suppressing a large range of targets.

[Entry 4]: Human Emperor’s Beloved Subjects, the Soul spirits within the human emperor banner do not belong to the undead.

[Entry 5]: Unlocked (50,000 beloved subjects).

[Beloved Subjects within Banner]: 20 / 28391.

“Good heavens, VIPs have become beloved subjects.”

“Moreover, they are not undead units, so that only weakness is gone.”

Qin Yang’s eyes lit up.

He had thought about this before.

The VIPs of the ten thousand souls banner belonged to undead units.

No matter how many there were, they would be countered by Holy Light skills.

Now it’s good.

They are no longer mere wandering Souls, but my beloved subjects!

Qin Yang chuckled inwardly.

Aside from this point, there wasn't much difference between the ten thousand souls banner and the human emperor banner.

It’s just that the quality became Red, and for each additional beloved subject, all attributes increased by 0.2.

Other entry skills also saw numerical improvements.

The biggest change, however, was the weapon’s appearance.

The previous ten thousand souls banner was like a shroud stained from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, exuding rampant evil Qi.

But the current human emperor banner was golden yellow, its form dignified and solemn, while faintly emitting a black-purple aura.

The twelve large characters on the banner had changed to: “Wielding the Universe, Treading the Abyss, Immortals and Gods enter the banner, assist Me in Unification.”

These words were full of heroic spirit, but the black-purple aura on the banner showed that the underlying logic of the equipment had not changed; the human emperor banner was not a good place either.

“If there are any incompetent or corrupt officials in the future, they can all be exiled to the human emperor banner for secondary use.”

“If you don’t Cultivate diligently, you’ll be brothers in the ten thousand souls banner.”

“If you’re unreliable in your work, you’ll be colleagues in the human emperor banner.”

Qin Yang thought to himself, then looked towards the Holy Light Tower.

He wondered: I wonder if Your Excellency the Pope would be willing to enter the banner as an official?

...In the underground palace of the Holy Light Tower.

The Pope had just received news that the three Professionals he hired had successfully completed their missions.

“Three people working together just to defeat Qin Yang?”

“This person is indeed stronger than other Prodigies.”

Hearing his subordinate’s report, the Pope nodded slightly.

There was some truth to Qin Yang being on the Free Federation’s threat list.

At an age not even 20, he already possessed strength surpassing the Grandmaster Tier, coupled with his background, he would be an Emperor-Ranked Professional in the future.

A subordinate beside him nodded and said, “Pope, General Mike is worried he might affect our plans. Do we need to do anything?”

“No need to do anything,” the Pope shook his head, “Only having Grandmaster Tier strength is not enough to affect our plans. There’s no need to be too nervous, lest we provoke the Emperor Rank behind him.”

Then, he revealed an evil smile: “Moreover, I’m also worried he might leave Holy City. In that case… we would lose a sacrifice for summoning a True God.”

...[Retired Emperors: Because I wanted to speed up the pace, I deleted some plot points, so I got stuck today. I’m sorry…]
