Dominating Martial King

Chapter 1854 - 607: Before the Promotion

In my opinion, it’s better to have these two go on behalf of Your Majesty to quell the rebellion and take He Status for you? Both of these seniors claim to serve at Your Majesty’s side and assist you in achieving great feats as the Holy Emperor; they surely wouldn’t refuse."He looked at the two Bai Lingxis before him: "Among them, the one who is holding back must undoubtedly be the fake ’Jinghong Sword Immortal.’"

Chu Xisheng’s eyes lit up upon hearing this: "Excellent! This is a declaration of allegiance."

He leaned forward slightly, looking down at the two women in white under the Heavenly Altar: "What do you two think?"

The two Bai Lingxis heard this and couldn’t help but furrow their brows in silence.

In their eyes flashed a barely perceptible dark light.

Is the situation as simple as Jian Cangfeng claims?

They were even more skeptical that these two would not figure out the real reason they clashed in front of Chu Xisheng.

Chu Xisheng is famous for his wisdom and bravery, and Jian Cangfeng is equally mysterious.

One of them might truly be here under the orders of the Master of Thousands of Deceptions, yet the other might still be a problem, not necessarily the real Bai Lingxi.

And, damn it, Shen Bore!

How many followers of Shen Bore can there be in He Status?

Among the Giant Spirit Clan and the Alien Race in this world, they obviously believe in the Eternal Gods, which naturally includes Shen Bore.

Not to mention He Status, the Northern Central Earth also follows the same.

These cunning, deceitful rulers obviously want to use the two of them as unpaid labor to work for Chu Xisheng’s Dalv Dynasty.

Chu Xisheng, however, looked at them with a smile: "I had previously appointed Senior Bai as the First-Grade Imperial Dragon Guard, but now the situation has changed. Before confirming your identities, I cannot fully trust either of you, so I must temporarily retract the Dragon Guard position.

If you are willing to help me quell the rebellion in He Status, you can be reassigned as Reserve Dragon Guard, Deputy Commander in He Status, ranking Lower First Grade. I will additionally grant you fifty thousand Daning Surrender Army to command. Of course, I won’t force you; if you’re not willing, we can part on good terms. If you leave now, I can pretend today’s events never happened."

Bai Lingxi No.2 couldn’t help but laugh in anger.

Chu Xisheng can indeed act like today’s events haven’t happened.

Only because he has already gleefully accepted the gift she presented.

Bai Lingxi No.1 looked thoughtful.

She cast a cold glance at Jian Cangfeng, then solemnly clasped her hands in salute: "Your Majesty, I am willing to go to He Status to quell the rebellion, but not to prove my identity, but to assist Your Majesty in achieving great feats as the Holy Emperor and to counter the Eternal Gods!"

Bai Lingxi No.2 was taken aback by her words; she gave Bai Lingxi No.1 a scrutinizing look, a gleam of speculation in her eyes.

She turned her head to look at Chu Xisheng: "I too am willing to suppress the rebellion in He Status on behalf of Your Majesty and retake He Status!"

Bai Lingxi No.2’s eyes remained sharp as knives: "This woman’s words are sweet, yet she’s eager to prove her identity; her behavior is suspicious, Your Majesty must be exceedingly cautious!"

Chu Xisheng glanced between the two of them again.

He thought to himself that both are evenly matched in their abilities, a case of pot calling the kettle black.

He chuckled silently and flicked his robe sleeve: "Whether you’re suspicious or not can only be determined by observing your actions. To be honest, I don’t actually care if you are the real Bai Lingxi; as long as you are sincerely willing to serve and assist me, what does it matter if you’re fake?"

He then turned to ’Mad Sword’ Feng San: "Mr. Feng, please take these two to the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War to receive official documentation and seals. Also, have the Engineering Department craft two sets of war armor according to the First-Grade Imperial Guard design, one in gold and one in platinum."

If it were only for the First-Grade Imperial Dragon Guard, it could be resolved within the Imperial Palace.

This is an Inner Court position, unrelated to the Outer Court.

However, the position of Deputy Commander in He Status and the fifty thousand surrendering troops require going through the corresponding procedures in the Outer Court.

As for the war armor styled for the First-Grade Imperial Guards, its tier is only Third Grade, purely for ceremonial use.

These two women resemble each other more than twins, indistinguishable from head to toe.

Standing side by side, Chu Xisheng couldn’t tell who was Bai Lingxi No.1 and who was No.2.

’Mad Sword’ Feng San furrowed his brows, his eyes unfocused as he looked at the two women, trying to retrieve memories of them from his mind.

This Bai Lingxi felt so familiar to him, extremely familiar!

This woman likely has some sort of connection with him.

Yet he couldn’t remember it.

His memory was shrouded in darkness, like a black curtain covering and isolating certain scenes in his mind.

It wasn’t until Chu Xisheng spoke to him that Feng San snapped back to reality.

’Mad Sword’ Feng San shook his head abruptly, breaking off his train of thought: "I obey the mandate!"

After Feng San left with the two Bai Lingxis, Chu Xisheng smiled at Jian Cangfeng: "Brother, you probably didn’t expect this, did you? They both agreed. What do you think they’re really after?"

He himself was very surprised.

He thought these two women couldn’t be so foolish.

No matter what their plot is, using the identity of Bai Lingxi is inappropriate.

They should have turned back, started over, and changed their strategies.

Yet acquiring two strands of ’Tai Chu Mother Qi’ and a ’Heavenly Slaying Blood Stone’ for free today already satisfied him.

Jian Cangfeng stood with his hands behind his back, enthusiastically watching towards the south: "Interesting, very interesting, I’m actually looking forward to it."

What kind of sparks will fly between these two women and Chu Xisheng?
