Chapter 135: One Hundred and Thirty-Six. The Overall Situation Has Been Decided, Kunlun Becomes the Enemy
The second category is also quite common, such as the little ghosts controlled by Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan, the million Chu troops in Xiang Yu, the mummies summoned by Anubis, the 360,000 heavenly soldiers and generals of the General Jiutian Shatong, the Flying Tiger Cavalry and Hedong Cavalry in Li Cunxiao, the 18 Yanyun Cavalry in Luo Cheng, the 36 Tiangang Captains in Yuan Tiangang, and the Tang Dynasty's An Dong Army in Xue Rengui. In addition, there are Li Siye's Mo Dao Army, Li Ji's elite Tang army, Wang Zhongsi's Hexi Army and Longyou Army, Guo Ziyi's Shuofang Army and Anxi Army, Li Guangbi's Fanyang Army and Pinglu Army, etc.
The third category is relatively rare and usually exists in some special objects, such as the Cao Wei army in the Ten Courts of Hell, the Qin warriors in the He's Jade, and the Tang Dynasty soldiers in the Seven-Star Dragon Spring in Li Ye's hands.
In the Hall of Heroes, the organized and numbered "armies" and "battalions" are mostly formed by the elite undead brought by the commander's guardian spirit. Other ordinary armies are mostly formed by recruiting soldiers from the underworld.
Li Ye's Black Armor Army was formed by the spirits of the Black Armor Army in the Seven Star Dragon Spring. It has powerful combat power and is even better than Xiang Kunlun's Overlord Army.
The headquarters of the Hall of Heroes, the City of Heroes.
As the headquarters of the Hall of Heroes, the entire City of Heroes appears extremely majestic. The whole city is like a prehistoric beast crawling on the ground, extremely imposing and majestic.
Naturally, the city is heavily guarded and has sufficient garrison troops. On top of the tall, dark city walls, pairs of organized ghost soldiers patrol back and forth, meticulously and in an orderly manner.
The main hall of the Hall of Heroes, as the core of the entire City of Heroes, is under extremely tight security.
Li Ye came to the main door of the Hall of Heroes.
"General Lee!"
The soldiers guarding the gate came to Li Ye's luggage. As one of the commanders of the Hall of Heroes and a strong contender for the next commander-in-chief, the soldiers guarding the gate were all smart and naturally had to treat him with courtesy.
Li Ye nodded and asked:
"Is the commander-in-chief here?"
"Yes! I'll go in and report right away."
Before he could finish his words, Lu Shuyu's voice came from inside.
"Please come in, General Li!"
"As ordered!"
The soldier guarding the gate quickly invited Li Ye in.
"General Li, please come in!"
Li Ye nodded, without saying anything more, and stepped into the main hall.
Lu Shuyu was still sitting casually in an armchair as usual.
He still looked like a sloppy middle-aged man with a white vest, short hair, and an untidy beard.
He was smoking with a frown on his face.
It seemed that ever since Li Ye met Lu Shuyu, he had always had a sad face and a frown on his face.
In fact, it is normal. The underworld is currently in a turbulent period, and the Hall of Heroes is in a period of transition and its strength has declined significantly. Although there are talents in this area, they have not really grown up. His ability is limited and he is often overwhelmed, so he often has a sad expression.
"Aye, you're back?"
Lu Shuyu heard the footsteps and exchanged greetings with Li Ye.
"Well, Commander-in-Chief, I'm back."
Li Ye responded indifferently.
"Haha, you've done a great job this time!"
Lu Shuyu no longer looked as sad as usual. She was very excited and almost danced with joy.
"It was just luck, luck, just good luck!"
Li Ye was rather modest, without any proud tone or expression. "You call this good luck? I've heard about how you killed so many people in the Demon Sealing Blood Sea and forced many masters to retreat!"
Lu Shuyu immediately puffed out his beard and glared, with an expression that said, "I know everything, you can't fool me."
"Let's not talk about this, Commander-in-Chief, why did you call me here this time?"
Li Ye quickly calmed down, turned serious, and asked Lu Shuyu.
"Well, let's get down to business. The reason I called you here this time is because the notice from the Spirit Realm has come down."
Lu Shuyu no longer had a casual and sloppy look on his face, and started to become serious.
"What notification?"
"Notice about your appointment!"
"The Spirit Realm appoints you as the Inspector. You are responsible only to the Spirit Realm. You must eradicate evil spirits and eliminate wickedness. When you see lawless criminals, you can kill them first and report later. The emperor has granted permission to kill them on the spot!"
Li Ye was somewhat shocked when he heard this. Although he did not get the position of the commander-in-chief of the Hall of Heroes as he wished, this inspector was also in a high position and had great power. He could execute first and report later, and it was a special permission granted by the emperor, which also made Li Ye feel moved.
"However, the Spirit Realm has set up two inspectors, the other one is Xiang Kunlun."
"They agreed that one year from now, based on your achievements in the past year and the outcome of your final martial arts duel, they would determine who would be the Grand Commander of the Hall of Heroes.
Lu Shuyu explained the arrangements of the spiritual realm to Li Ye.
"By the way, you have to go to the Spirit Realm!"
A few days ago, in the Spirit Realm.
Wuming Palace, the main hall.
The young king Da Yutian watched the eight imperial spirit masters arguing fiercely over the position of the commander-in-chief of the Hall of Heroes.
They were arguing very fiercely, with their faces and necks glowing red. The four of them, Li, Kan, Qian and Zhen, were all eloquent, righteous, impassioned, well-reasoned and awe-inspiring. If you didn't know them, you would have thought they were a group of loyal ministers who were devoted to the country and devoted their lives to it.
Dayutian looked at how several people turned the main hall of Wuming Palace into a vegetable market for their own interests. Their words were full of attacks on each other and their desire for power. He couldn't help but feel disgusted.
"Can the Spirit Realm really continue to maintain its rule when it is in the hands of such a group of power-hungry, greedy and shameless people?"
The young monarch of the underworld couldn't help but fall into confusion and was full of worries about the future of the Yuling clan.
At the same time, the desire to overthrow them, take back power, and hold power alone has become stronger.
"I insist that Li Ye is a man of extraordinary talent, outstanding ability, and loyal to the Spirit Realm. He is the best candidate for the Grand Commander of the Hall of Heroes. I beg Your Majesty to appoint Li Ye as the Grand Commander of the Hall of Heroes and replace Lu Shuyu in charge of the Hall of Heroes!"
Yulingshi Li showed a selfless attitude of selecting talents for the country.
"Your Majesty, you can't do that. As a descendant of the Tang Dynasty, Li Ye must have great ambitions. We must be on guard against such ambitious people, Your Majesty!"
The imperial envoy Kan'na spoke with great sincerity and was certain that Li Ye was a man who wanted to usurp power and commit treason.
"Yes, Your Majesty, this descendant of Li Tang must be a restless person!"
"Your Majesty, we must be on guard against Li Ye!"
The Imperial Spirit Envoy Qian and the Imperial Spirit Envoy Zhen quickly echoed the voice and unanimously determined that Li Ye was the reincarnation of Wang Mang.
"Your Majesty, Li Ye's behavior after joining the Hall of Heroes is obvious to all. He has made great contributions one after another. Now in the Sealed Demon Blood Sea, he has made such a stunning contribution. He handed it over to the Spirit Realm without hesitation and did not keep it for himself. He is so loyal that he must be a wise minister and a good general. How could he be a traitor who seeks power!"
