The 50th on the Military God List, entering from the Southern Theater Command!
The 41st on the Military God List, entering from the Western Theater Command!
The 29th on the Military God List, entering from the Northern Theater Command!
The 9th on the Military God List, entering from the Eastern Theater Command!
News after news arrived, throwing the entire Jinling into a frenzy!
The theater commands began to enter, their awe-inspiring figures filling this ancient capital of six dynasties.
What followed, and what was most anticipated, was the update of the Military God List.
For the citizens of this capital city, this was indeed a matter of great importance.
In recent years, the military had become increasingly low-key, allowing the Martial Arts Association to develop rapidly, severely threatening the quality of the younger generation in the military. Many talented individuals had joined the Martial Arts Association. Although the military had the capability to create gods, creating an ordinary god was not what they desired.
Certain high-ranking officials in the capital wished to create a god who could rival Ye Longlin. However, in reality, such a god was not easily made. From the very beginning, Ye Longlin was aware of their god-creation efforts and never hindered them, yet they still lacked the significant ability to create another god like him.
Creating a god in the military was no simple feat!
Currently, all those who met these criteria were within the Dragon Pavilion, an organization they could not interfere with. After all, the ultimate authority behind the Dragon Pavilion was beyond the jurisdiction of the Hall of Honor. Conversely, the one behind the Dragon Pavilion... the Overlord of Great Xia!
"There are only two days left. No one will dare to cause any trouble during these two days. Jinling is currently the provincial capital of the military, and countless people are waiting to witness this ranking battle. The participants all represent their respective theater commands and their powerful patrons. This battle could very well lead to consequences stemming from the power plays of various factions."
Qinglong stood beside Ye Longlin and spoke slowly. Even he could see this clearly, let alone Yuan Gang, who was personally overseeing this matter.
"Indeed. I've already received calls from all sides, especially from the four major theater commands, and also from Marshal Lin. Marshal Lin, the leader of the Eastern faction, has returned and needs a battle to quell some of his subordinates. The Eastern faction has been heavily infiltrated over the years, and Marshal Lin faces immense pressure. Therefore, he hopes his top general can enter the top ten."
Yuan Gang was also troubled. He had met Marshal Lin, Lin Langsheng, and had interacted with him quite a bit.
Back then, who would have thought that the man who appeared sickly was the long-lost Marshal Lin!
"Have those people from the capital let you be?" Qinglong asked, glancing at him with a calm tone.
Yuan Gang let out a wry smile at the question. "Brother Qinglong, please don't tease me. Those people in the capital want to influence me more than anyone. Marshal Lin is alright; at least he didn't force me. But those people in the capital... sigh, it's a long story. If I didn't have the Great King's Seal in my possession, I would probably have been sidelined by Ma Zhou by now.
Not to mention anything else, the Great King's Seal is incredibly satisfying to use for striking people. Even the mighty Ma Zhou was stunned by a single strike from my Seal, hahahaha."
Ye Longlin listened from the side without speaking. After they finished, he made a definitive statement.
"The Military God List is a time for those on the list to prove their strength, and simultaneously for those not on the list to replace them. The Military God List must be free of any falsification."
Yuan Gang's expression turned serious, and he nodded. "I understand."
Qinglong also reminded him, "The Boss entrusted this power to you, not for you to take shortcuts. I hope you can continue on this path well and lead the Dragon Pavilion forward."
Yuan Gang nodded. He didn't really want to take on this responsibility, but if he didn't, none of the Four Great Vajras could.
Xuan Niao was currently in prison. Brother Qinglong had a cold disposition, and Xuanwu was a martial arts fanatic. It was even more unlikely for them to take over the Dragon Pavilion.
After the Military God List concluded, news of Xuan Niao's arrest would likely arrive from the capital. Once the Boss entered the capital, the restart of the Hetu War would be practically settled.
Most importantly, whether the Crimson Lotus Demon Woman would honor her promise. If she didn't, Xuan Niao's military career would end here. However, if she kept her word, the restart of the Hetu War would surely lead to Xuan Niao's acquittal.
The most probable outcome was to allow Xuan Niao to atone for her crimes on the Hetu battlefield, which was the best solution.
"Boss, are you going to the venue tomorrow?"
Yuan Gang asked, a flicker of hope in his eyes.
If the Boss graced the event with his presence, it would undoubtedly excite the hundreds of participants.
However, Ye Longlin shook his head. "I won't go tomorrow. I will go the day after."
"Alright, you two go ahead. I have arrangements today."
Qinglong hesitated, "I'll go with you."
Ye Longlin waved his hand, indicating he didn't need him.
Very well, the two could only go their separate ways. Qinglong continued to capture the remaining war criminals. These two days were also the best time to apprehend them.
After all, everyone's attention was on the Military God List. The news of the imminent battle for the Military God List had excited the entire Jinling and had become the talk of the town.
Amidst this prevalent military atmosphere, another heartening piece of news arrived.
"The Military God, the Master of the Dragon Pavilion, will participate in the supervision on the first day. Please wait patiently!"
As the Military God List was updated, news from the Dragon Pavilion, which was leading the initiative, spread. The Dragon Pavilion was also unearthed by countless netizens. It was at this moment that people realized such an organization existed in the capital, causing a massive stir among many.
The Master of the Dragon Pavilion, in a sense, was undoubtedly a military big shot. This was beyond question.
Furthermore, how could such an existence not be a military big shot?
A purely violent organization responsible for external combat, a legendary existence!
As various pieces of news continued to boil, Ye Longlin and Mu Hanqi were sightseeing at various attractions.
Although she was a princess of the Murong royal family, in Jinling, besides the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple, she was not familiar with any other place. Of course, there was also Jinling's Fuxing Garden.
Mid to late December.
The university was still in session. The snow this year seemed to be quite heavy. Since arriving in Jinling, it had been snowing day and night. In Mu Hanqi's words, her hair turned white as she walked.
At this moment, Ye Longlin and Mu Hanqi stood before an ancient building.
Pavilions and towers, exuding ancient charm.
Snowflakes accumulated on the ground and rooftops, creating a profound sense of peace, as if one's entire being was slowly settling.
Perhaps this was the magic of ancient places.
In this fast-paced society, there were few places that could slow down the rhythm of life. Perhaps, only when drinking tea or staying in such an environment could one's soul slowly settle.
"I heard this ancient building does not belong to the state, but to a legendary figure. It is said that the areas we can visit now are open for public viewing because the owner's property is too vast."
