Chapter 144: Return to the Hall of Heroes and Appoint Diao Lingyun
Soon, Li Ye returned to the Hall of Heroes almost without stopping.
In the northern area of the underworld, Li Ye was driving on a huge plain. In the distance was a tall and dense forest. Various tall trees blocked out the sun. Behind the forest, there was a huge outline looming.
Passing through the dense forest, a magnificent and huge city comes into view. The city walls are tall and thick, wide enough to carry a car, and towering into the sky, like an insurmountable iron wall. The surface of the city walls is engraved with complex and mysterious patterns, which embody the majesty and dominance of the Hall of Heroes.
The city gate is very imposing. The huge wooden door is inlaid with pieces of gilded copper plates that look like flowing gold. Against the bright sunshine, it is particularly dazzling.
This city is the headquarters of the Hall of Heroes. The City of Heroes is a magnificent city formed by several Soul-Realizing Streets running across it. It covers a vast area, with houses lined up one after another and tall buildings standing in rows, yet it appears to be in good order.
The city gates are two huge stone monsters with wide-open eyes and ferocious fangs, as if warning any creature that intends to approach.
The tall, dark city walls are guarded by ghost soldiers, and teams of ghost soldiers in well-armored armor are patrolling back and forth, maintaining strict vigilance.
Inside the city, the streets are wide and straight, and the buildings on both sides are tall and majestic. The ghost soldiers are dressed in fine armor, holding long spears, patrolling the city, and their footsteps echo in the streets, adding a bit of majesty.
Inside the city wall gate, there are four consecutive passes leading directly to the most magnificent main hall of the Hall of Heroes.
Li Ye entered the City of Heroes and went straight to the main hall of the Hall of Heroes.
"General Li, you're back? Commander Lu has been waiting for a long time."
As soon as Li Ye reached the door of the main hall, the soldiers guarding the gate hurriedly saluted him respectfully.
"I understand, I'll go in right away!"
Li Ye nodded at them and spoke softly.
"General Li, please!"
Several soldiers helped Li Ye push open the door of the main hall, and Li Ye walked into the hall with light steps.
What caught the eye was a large black stone long table. In the main seat, a sturdy middle-aged man named Lu Shuyu, with short hair, unshaven beard, and wearing a white vest, was sitting casually in an armchair. He was holding a document in one hand and reading it, and holding a burning cigarette in the other hand. He would take a puff after looking at it for a few seconds, puffing out smoke, looking very happy.
There was no usual frowning and sad look on his face.
"Boss Lu, why don't you look sad today? Every time I saw you before, you always frowned."
Li Ye joked with a smile.
"Haha, people are in high spirits when good things happen to them!"
Lu Shuyu smiled brightly when he heard that, and it was obvious that he was in a good mood.
"What's the good news? Tell me about it."
"The first thing is to set up the Demon Slaying Department. This is really a great thing. Ferocious beasts have always been something that our Heroes Hall is not good at dealing with. Now that the Demon Slaying Department has been established, it can be much better. The second thing is that the Spirit Realm has ordered all eight blood corpses to be handed over to our Heroes Hall for control. These are the combat power of eight Great Scorchers, which is exactly what our Heroes Hall needs now. The current Heroes Hall is somewhat lacking in combat power."
Then he sighed and continued:
"Before you three joined the Hall of Heroes, there were only me, Xing Lie and Shan Wang, three people with the strength of the Great Scorch Rex level. Now that you are here, it's better. Xiang Kunlun and Diao Lingyun have both broken through to the Great Scorch Rex level, and you also have the strength of the Great Scorch Rex level. It's finally better, although it's still a lot worse than a few years ago."
"Hey!"
As he spoke, he sighed again, as if recalling the glory and power of the Hall of Heroes in the past. "Fortunately, the Hall of Heroes now has a large number of pillars. In addition to you, the Immortal Palace, Yuchi Lietang, Qin Wanggong, Gao Chong, Yang Tianyu, Wang Wulong, Li Gaoyang, Wang Sheng, Hua Ling, Hua Yu, Li Gucheng and others are all outstanding people. The Hall of Heroes will become great again in the near future."
Li Ye thought to himself that the Hall of Heroes in the future would not only have to be as great as it was during the time of Huangfu Longdou, but it would also have to fulfill the historical mission of overthrowing the Spirit Realm.
"By the way, since Ling Yu has given you full authority to take charge of this matter, you should arrange it as soon as possible. It's all up to you. You don't need to ask me."
Li Ye nodded, then turned and left the main hall to arrange the relevant matters of the Demon Slaying Division.
Lingyu has appointed Li Ye to be fully responsible for establishing the Demon Slaying Bureau. All appointment authority is given to Li Ye. If he needs anything, he can just report to Lingyu.
As soon as Li Ye returned to his residence, Diao Lingyun rushed over.
"You're back?"
Her voice was full of tenderness, and Diao Lingyun's face was full of a warm smile.
Li Ye was still a little unaccustomed to Diao Lingyun being so gentle. He was used to her crazy and aloof appearance. This sudden change made Li Ye a little uncomfortable.
"Yeah, I just went to see Lu Shuyu."
Li Ye smiled and thought that although it was a bit inconsistent with his character, it was still very enjoyable.
As he spoke, he put his arms around Diao Lingyun's slender waist and held her tightly in his arms, feeling Diao Lingyun's pounding heart and the surging love in her heart.
As you can see, Diao Lingyun is actually a love-brained person. Some women are like this. They are usually cold and aloof, but once they fall in love, they become like a different person.
The two hugged each other tenderly for a long time before separating.
"Lingyun, Lingyu has approved my request to set up a new department in the Hall of Heroes, the Demon Slayer Department, which is specifically responsible for killing demons and fierce beasts. I have decided that you will be the leader of this Demon Slayer Department."
Li Ye gently stroked Diao Lingyun's soft hair and spoke to her softly.
"The Demon Slayer Division? I'll be in charge? That's great, it sounds like an interesting position!"
Diao Lingyun's tone was full of interest in the Demon Slaying Bureau, and a hint of madness and fighting spirit appeared in her eyes.
"By the way, this is for you."
Li Ye handed the Qinghun Divine Jade obtained from the Spirit Realm Treasure Pavilion to Diao Lingyun.
"This can protect the body, stabilize the soul, and minimize the side effects of using the Ghost King Power. Haven't you always wanted to use the Ghost King Power? With this thing, the cost of using the Ghost King Power in the future will be much lower."
Diao Lingyun was very moved when she heard this. She knew that this thing was extremely precious. This treasure would definitely cause a bloody storm in the underworld.
Diao Lingyun rushed towards Li Ye, their lips touched, and then it was out of control.
Diao Lingyun raised her head. Her most beautiful face was breathtakingly beautiful under the light. She slowly closed her eyes and her eyelashes trembled.
Li Ye immediately used his spiritual power to form a barrier outside the house to isolate the sound and breath.
Diao Lingyun took the initiative and immediately covered Li Ye's lips.
