217: Lin Yan, a one-star general of the human race!

Six types of script?!

Lin Yan's gaze shifted once more to the words “Sui Xu” on the city wall, a hint of shock flashing in his eyes.

At this moment, Donggong Li's voice came again.

“Fighting is not forbidden in the Ancient City, except against Great Emperors.”

“Therefore, although you are accompanying your master on this trip, I hope that unless someone older bullies someone younger, you rely on yourself for everything.”

Hearing this, Lin Yan gave a faint smile.

“Of course.”

Seeing his demeanor, Donggong Li also smiled.

He naturally understood the temperament of this disciple who had already created numerous records and miracles.

But some things still needed to be said.

“Good.”

“Your master will wait for news of your growth in the Core Area.”

Donggong Li's figure slowly disappeared.

Lin Yan turned his gaze once again toward the magnificent Ancient City outside the Warship window in the starry sky.

He gently twisted his neck a few times and slightly stretched his body.

“Old Fu!”

A sudden shout.

Almost the instant Lin Yan's voice fell.

“Understood!”

Fu Ying understood immediately and grinned.

He immediately turned around and gave the Flame Guards an order without hesitation.

“Ancient City Outer Region, Human Race Military Camp!”

“Land the Warship!”

As the voice fell.

A strong Battle Intent flashed in the eyes of the Flame Guards.

“Roger!”

...How large the Ancient Cities of Ten Thousand Races outside the major Forbidden Zones are, is hard to say; at any rate, judging by the fact that an Emperor Rank Martial Artist can easily encompass a star with their full sensory range, it is still far from enough.

So, to put it into slightly more concrete terms, the area of a galaxy should be about right.

Within such a massive Ancient City, if viewed from an absolute high altitude, one could clearly see a magnificent sight.

That is, six distinct, fan-shaped areas spreading outward from the center of the Ancient City.

Human, Divine, Immortal, Demon, Monster, Spirit.

Six different flags fluttered loudly over the Ancient City standing tall in the starry sky.

The Ancient City's Outer Region.

A Warship, incredibly “tiny” compared to the city, landed on the Military Camp's Docking Platform under the watchful eyes of the guards.

The Guard Captain's gaze paused briefly on the “Human” character flag outside the Warship before he led a team of guards toward it.

“This is a vital military area. Why have you landed your Warship?”

The answer came from a team of solemn, armored figures who flashed out of the Warship and lined up on both sides of the ramp.

The Guard Captain narrowed his eyes slightly.

Venerable Rank, all of them.

But this was not enough to make him stop walking.

Just then.

Ten more armored figures appeared from the Warship on both sides of the ramp, respectfully cupped their fists, and spoke in unison.

“Your Highness!”

A thunderous sound erupted suddenly.

The Guard Captain's expression changed slightly, and his steps instantly halted.

Emperor Rank Medium Grade! All of them!

Your Highness?

Could it be an important figure arriving from the Inner Region?

Before he could think further, the sound of battle boots lightly yet clearly striking the ground suddenly rang out.

A majestic young figure, clad in black and gold armor and a cloak, slowly emerged at the Warship hatch.

A token was displayed by the solemn, armored middle-aged man following closely behind him.

In this instant, the Guard Captain's face changed drastically.

A single star shone brightly, one side bearing the character “Human,” the other, “General”!

The two sides combined!

In a flash, a deafening sound erupted. The Guard Captain dared not hesitate in the slightest, leading his numerous guards to kneel on one knee in perfect unison, shouting in chorus.

“Greetings, General!”

The sound was deafening, echoing throughout the area.

Many figures who had also landed and appeared on this Docking Platform immediately looked over, their expressions changing as they all dropped to their knees.

“Greetings, General!”

One-Star Great General, Emperor Rank high grade!

How could someone of this caliber park their Warship at an ordinary Docking Platform? Shouldn't they head straight to the Great General Palace inside the Military Camp?

Could it be?

They thought of a recent rumor, and their expressions changed again.

It was said that a massive personnel change would occur in the Core Area, affecting the entire Inner and Outer Regions.

Could this General be newly arrived?

Soon.

The young voice coming from the Warship hatch confirmed their suspicion.

“First Army, which way do I go?”

The Guard Captain's heart trembled.

A truly newly arrived General!

And from the First Army!

He immediately replied.

“This Subordinate General is willing to lead the way for the General.”

Lin Yan glanced at him, said nothing, and slowly walked down from the Warship hatch.

The Guard Captain instantly understood and immediately stood up.

“General, please proceed!”

...Inside the massive palace at the center of the First Army Palace Complex.

The head seat, a single throne.

On the two sides, five seats each, totaling ten seats.

After those ten seats, there were ten more seats behind each of them.

In total, this made one hundred and eleven seats, representing the number of Great Generals in the single command of the Outer Region's First Army.

Inside the great hall at this moment.

The middle-aged man in the first seat on the lower left was looking with confusion at the burly figure in the head seat.

“General.”

“You suddenly called me over, is it because...?”

A burst of laughter came from above.

“We just received news that Your Excellency has arrived in the Core Area and completed the appointment.”

Hearing this reply, the middle-aged man in the lower seat felt a shock in his heart, and his expression was invigorated.

“Your Excellency has finally arrived.”

“With him presiding here, all the problems our brothers face will cease to be problems!”

Suddenly, he remembered the main reason they were both here.

“Then, Your Highness must have also arrived?!”

Facing his question, the man in the head seat smiled and nodded, a hint of emotion flashing in his eyes.

Your Highness... the youth who was only Venerable Rank when he emerged from seclusion a month ago, has actually reached the Emperor Rank.

And he managed to be directly appointed as a One-Star Great General by His Excellency, who always runs the army strictly.

What terrifying natural talent! This is truly unprecedented in the history of the Starry Sky Martial Dao.

Receiving an affirmative answer, the man in the lower seat instantly flushed slightly.

He's here! He's here!

The Human Race's Supreme Rank Prodigy! His Excellency's only disciple! An Emperor Rank Martial Artist under the age of twenty! His future capable subordinate!

Every time he thought of these things, he could not contain himself for a long time!

This is amazing!

Seeing his appearance, the man in the head seat smiled.

“Shao Ping, show some restraint!”

“If someone saw you, they'd think you were about to meet His Excellency in person.”

The man named Shao Ping took a deep breath upon hearing this.

That's right! That's right! Stay calm!

Even if Your Highness would certainly surpass him and become his direct superior later, for now, he was still a One-Star Great General, one star lower than himself.

Just as the two men were in this atmosphere, footsteps sounded from outside the hall.

A young voice drifted in.

“Lin Yan, reporting for duty!”

The instant the voice fell.

Clatter—!

Outside the hall door, hearing the sudden chaotic noise from within, a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes.

What's going on?

Tearing the place apart?

“Ahem...” The man in the head seat inside the hall lightly coughed and righted the Tea Table he had accidentally knocked over.

Then he whispered to Shao Ping, who had instantly snapped to attention below him, “The chair! Put the chair back properly!”

“Oh... oh, right!” Shao Ping fumbled around and immediately set upright the chair behind him that he had knocked over by standing up too forcefully.
