136: Star Patrol Envoy - Lin Yan

Imperial Rank Area Guardian Envoy?

Ten Medium Grade Emperor Rank, thirty High Grade Venerable Rank, sixty Medium Grade Venerable Rank?

Inside the massive, pitch-black Warship.

Lin Yan, who was admiring the starry sky for the first time, paused his expression, suddenly turned his head to look at the people standing respectfully behind him, a flicker of shock flashing in his eyes.

Noticing his movement, Fu Ying at the front felt his heart tighten.

"Your Highness."

"At that time, His Majesty wanted to send several brothers with even more outstanding talent."

"First, as time passed, everyone had gained different statuses and positions, making it inconvenient to be away for long periods."

"Second, his idea was opposed by the Supreme Council at Headquarters, who believed it would be too much and wouldn't serve as proper tempering."

"So, they could only manage to get someone of my level."

Lin Yan fell silent for a moment.

Was that what he meant?

Even a Domain-level Prodigy at Venerable Rank is just a captain of an Imperial Rank Guard Team.

Sending even more outstanding ones, what for?

Unconsciously.

The face of an old man surfaced in his mind.

Old Duan... you must hold on!

Lin Yan looked at Fu Ying, who appeared respectful.

"Don't overthink it."

"Since you are an Imperial Rank Area Guardian Envoy."

"There happens to be a problem that needs solving right now."

"I haven't chosen my Star Patrol Envoy territory management scope yet."

"Give me some suggestions."

Fu Ying breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Star Patrol Envoy territory, huh.

Having prepared for this before coming, he was about to suggest a few places.

"By the way."

"Places with the weakest control."

"Preferably ones where I can get straight to work upon arrival."

Fu Ying's expression froze.

No.

These words short-circuited his brain instantly.

In his opinion, a Prodigy of Lin Yan's status becoming a Star Patrol Envoy would definitely choose some places where he could Cultivate in peace.

So, the place names he had in mind to suggest were exactly that—from top to bottom, all their own people.

Or rather.

Places where influential figures who had previously followed Donggong Li and now grown up were located, offering an absolutely comfortable environment for growth.

Seeing his expression, Lin Yan frowned slightly.

"No such places?"

Not fully grasping his intentions, Fu Ying hesitated in his gaze.

"Your Highness."

"Although our Human Race presents a united front against other races, there is still internal healthy competition and even malicious conflict."

"Otherwise, the company wouldn't have Star Patrol Envoys and Domain Enforcers."

"So."

"This subordinate doesn't quite understand you..."

Lin Yan understood.

"You've already looked into it for me, haven't you."

A hint of unease appeared on Fu Ying's face.

Lin Yan spoke again.

"I don't need stable, quiet places."

"I need challenges, the harder the better."

"Of course, if it can be near the Imperial Pass, that would be best."

"Go take a look."

As his words fell.

Fu Ying's gaze at the young man flickered with a momentary daze.

This figure in black seemed to overlap continuously with a figure in white from long ago.

Though the words were different, the tone was the same calm, the same proud confidence, and the same, unquestionable authority.

"Yes."

He immediately responded, turned, and left with a few others.

The starry sky is truly beautiful.

Lin Yan turned again to look at the scene outside the Warship.

Stars twinkled, fierce winds howled.

Emperor Rank!

Physical Body traversing the void.

Though barely, at that stage, one could personally experience this magnificent view.

The Domain Level Warship, like a steel behemoth, floated quietly in the starry sky.

If looking for a few stable regions, there might be some trouble, needing to consider factors like personnel relationships.

But finding completely opposite, weak areas of the Starry Sky Martial Arts Company was not difficult at all.

Fu Ying soon returned to Lin Yan's side and spoke softly.

"Your Highness."

"This subordinate has filtered out one region according to your requirements. Please review it."

Lin Yan turned to look at the projected light screen as Fu Ying's voice continued.

"Your Highness."

"What you see now are several Star Rivers under the rule of the Tianqi Imperial Court within the territory of the Yonghong Divine Court, which is under the jurisdiction of the Xuanqing Sacred Court."

"This subordinate will briefly explain the reasons for choosing this region."

"First, the Tianqi Imperial Court is located at the edge of the Yonghong Divine Court, near the Imperial Pass."

"Second, the ruler of this Imperial Court is a self-grown talent, not belonging to the traditional five major factions under the Ancestral Court."

"Third, combining the first and second points, this has created the current special situation of the Tianqi Imperial Court, where major forces compete, each wanting to absorb the Imperial Court's ruler while maximizing their own influence."

"So, if you want chaos and the greatest challenge, it would definitely be the star clusters within the Star Rivers of this Imperial Court closest to the Imperial Pass."

"It's also the place where the company's Xuanqing Branch has sent the most personnel in recent years."

A smile appeared on Lin Yan's face.

"Good."

"This is it!"

He immediately opened the Internal Network and began operating.

Seeing this, Fu Ying's gaze showed slight hesitation.

"Your Highness."

"This subordinate just learned some additional information."

"That is, the sixth to tenth Star Rivers of this Tianqi Imperial Court already had a Domain-level Prodigy from the Military Alliance go there two years ago."

"And a few months ago, a suspected Domain-level Prodigy from the Supreme Academy also went there."

Having followed Donggong Li for many years, he was well aware of the brutality of clashes between Domain Level Prodigies.

He wasn't afraid of being unable to protect Lin Yan, nor was he afraid of the people behind those two Prodigies.

He was afraid that Lin Yan himself couldn't withstand setbacks and pressure.

After all, those two were already Venerable Rank, while Lin Yan had just completed his King Rank evaluation—they weren't on the same level at all.

He believed Lin Yan could understand the meaning behind his words.

"Oh?"

Lin Yan's eyes brightened slightly, pausing his actions.

"Are Domain Level Prodigies that easy to encounter?"

Fu Ying was also somewhat speechless.

What could he say.

This was just the mutual attraction of Domain Level Prodigies.

"Your Highness, although Domain Level Prodigies are extremely rare, looking across the entire Human Race, especially the five major forces, a batch will emerge after a period of time."

"This is called the Great Era Transition in each Martial Arts Epoch, like waves surging one after another."

"Judging from the time since the last great era, which was His Majesty's batch, now is indeed about the right time."

"And because it's near the end of the Martial Arts Epoch, the number should be greater than in the past few hundred thousand years."

Lin Yan nodded slightly.

So that's how it is.

Great Era Transitions, one wave rises, another falls, repeating over and over.

This aligns with the normal laws of development.

His gaze swept over the light screen.

Two Venerable Rank ones... going there now indeed offers no advantage.

"Do we have any Venerable Rank Star Patrol Envoys over there?"

Fu Ying immediately replied.

"Yes."

"One Star River Rank, struggling to survive in the cracks."

"Not just us."

"The Starry Sky Bank and the Starry Sky Mercenary Alliance also have two Star River Rank ones there."

"It's precisely because of them that they can barely hold on a little."

Is that so... Lin Yan pondered briefly.

Let's do it!!

He directly reached out and selected one of the Star Rivers on the light screen, then drew a circle around it.

"Prodigy Lin Yan, confirm your Star Patrol Envoy territory management scope?"

Lin Yan clicked confirm without the slightest hesitation.

"Selection successful."

"Star Patrol Envoy—Lin Yan, please proceed to your management territory to assume your duties as soon as possible."
