Starting With 100 Million Lives

Chapter 1075 - 1075: Not Worthy to Command Me

The two Immortal Officials led the way, and everyone quickly entered one of those continuous fortresses.As soon as they went inside, even Jiang Cheng had to admit his eyes were opened.

The internal structure of this fortress was practically set up like a war machine.

You could sense a strong aura of Rules everywhere, dangerous Restrictions one after another, some in the open, some hidden.

If you came in here without a guide, you would definitely trigger a full-scale attack from the entire fortress.

After walking inside, the two teams were brought to the task distribution area.

The one sitting here in charge was not a Ninth-grade Immortal Official, but a Seventh-grade Immortal Official, a true Supreme.

Venerable Jingding had been here before, and hurriedly led all the members of Ba Yun Team forward to bow and salute.

"Greetings, Venerable Kun Liu!"

Venerable Kun Liu lifted his eyelids slightly, glanced at everyone, and then showed a faint smile.

"So Ba Yun Team is here, not bad."

Receiving a single "not bad" from the Supreme made Venerable Jingding feel extremely honored, and all the team members behind him showed expressions of pride and excitement.

This was a Supreme, a Seventh-grade Immortal Official; to them, that was a height so high it might as well be unreachable.

Behind Brother Cheng, Lai Ping, Bian Xiu and the others were so scared they almost couldn't speak.

This was their first time seeing a Supreme in person at such close range; no wonder they were so excited.

"Pa… paying respects to the Supreme!"

The four of them directly dropped to their knees.

Venerable Kun Liu swept a glance over Jiang Cheng and the four whose Realm was so low, and his brow furrowed slightly, looking very displeased.

"What is this about?"

The two Reception Immortals hurriedly explained.

"The five of them are one team."

Venerable Kun Liu withdrew his gaze and tossed out four cold words.

"Utter nonsense!"

Right after that, the two Eighth-Grade Immortal Officials beside him stretched out their hands.

Venerable Jingding quickly handed over Ba Yun Team's team token.

This was also a necessary step, equivalent to registering in the Yunzhao War Zone; in the future, once they completed certain tactical missions or slew Evil Immortals, they would automatically gain Celestial Dao Points.

If they didn't register here, then killing Evil Immortals would be for nothing.

Brother Cheng followed the example and also handed over First Handsome Team's team token.

The two teams were quickly registered.

After that, Brother Cheng felt a special war-zone mark added onto his body.

"That's all, right?"

He waved his hand, planning to take his four team members out to hack away at Evil Immortals.

This move made the Immortal Officials frown deeply.

On Ba Yun Team's side, they burst out laughing.

"He really doesn't know anything, huh?"

"Heaven, how did he dare become a Captain?"

Lai Ping quickly stopped him.

He quietly transmitted his voice: "Captain, it's not over yet, they still have to assign combat areas and missions."

Only then did Brother Cheng turn back and shrug at everyone, as if nothing had just happened.

The other three team members already looked like their parents had died.

This big shot was not just unreliable, he was completely out of line.

Venerable Kun Liu lowered his brows, and without thinking, casually took out a Command Arrow.

"Ba Yun Team, head to Qixing Ridge and cooperate with the Celestial Peak Army stationed there."

"Hand this Command Arrow over to Sub-Captain Celestial Venerable Huaiwu; he will assign your specific combat missions!"

The Celestial Peak Army was one of the many regular armies of the Celestial Palace.

And a Sub-Captain usually commanded only a hundred-man unit.

That was already a level much higher than Ba Yun Team's; after all, that Captain was a Celestial Venerable, and the Celestial Army under his command would definitely not be below the Ninth Layer Venerable level.

Venerable Jingding solemnly accepted the order.

"Yes!"

This wasn't his first time receiving such an order.

This kind of order usually meant assisting the regular Celestial Army with reconnaissance, harassment, and scouting missions.

He was very experienced.

Immediately after, Venerable Kun Liu took out another Command Arrow.

He was about to assign a mission to "First Handsome Team."

But who knew what crossed his mind; the Command Arrow spun once in his hand and he put it away again.

"Forget it…"

He waved his hand at Brother Cheng and the others like shooing flies.

"You five just follow Ba Yun Team and count as their vassals. From now on you'll obey their commands without error!"

He clearly felt that a trashy team like First Handsome Team didn't even deserve the treatment of a Command Arrow.

Hearing this order, Ba Yun Team burst into laughter again.

"Hahaha, after all that running around, you actually have to take orders from us in the end?"

"Didn't you say before you wanted to be our Captain?"

"If we'd known, we would've come a bit later; now we've got a leech hanging off us."

"Whatever, they're not actually part of our team anyway, we don't have to split the rewards with them."

Even though they were sneering like this, Lai Ping, Bian Xiu and the others were not angry at all; instead, they were overjoyed.

In their eyes, tagging along with Ba Yun Team was at least somewhat reliable.

This team was strong and experienced; even if they couldn't share the spoils, following them would greatly increase their chances of staying alive.

The few of them couldn't help but step forward and try to get friendly with Ba Yun Team.

"Seniors, what an honor, what an honor…"

"We'll be in your care from now on."

"We're ashamed, we'll trouble you seniors, Venerables."

Ba Yun Team only laughed even louder.

"Who said we're going to take care of you?"

"Don't rush to cozy up to us. If you die later, that just means your skills weren't up to par, nothing to do with us."

"Oh yeah, you better behave yourselves along the way, otherwise you'll be dealt with by military law!"

Listening to their noisy chatter, Brother Cheng was directly amused.

Take the mission, then accept someone else's command?

What a joke.

He'd insisted on being Captain precisely because he didn't want anyone above his head.

Let alone taking orders from Ba Yun Team, he couldn't be bothered even to take orders from a Celestial Peak Army Sub-Captain like Ba Yun Team did.

This was a matter of principle.

"Where do you all get such a good opinion of yourselves?"

"Who told you I was going to accept this mission?"

"Absolutely ridiculous!"

The Immortal Officials in the hall immediately shouted.

"Insolent, what did you say?"

"You dare defy orders?"

Venerable Kun Liu finally fixed his imposing gaze on Jiang Cheng's face.

"What did you just say?"

Brother Cheng shot back without hesitation.

"Are you deaf?"

"Fine, I'll put it in simpler words for you: trash like you isn't qualified to command your grandpa here!"

The moment he said this, the whole place fell silent.

Forget Lai Ping and Bian Xiu, even Ba Yun Team were scared out of their wits by his words.

Brother, could you at least look at who you're talking to before you open your mouth?

That was a Supreme, a Seventh-grade Immortal Official!

And you dared call yourself "grandpa" in front of him?

Do you have a death wish?

Venerable Kun Liu's face was as dark as ink, his gaze as vicious as if he were ready to eat someone alive.

The other Immortal Officials in the hall were already trembling in silence.

Everyone could see he was angry.

And when a Supreme gets angry, what will happen?

They didn't even dare imagine it.

"Ha!"

"Hahahaha!"

Venerable Kun Liu felt this was simply too laughable, like an ant provoking a lion, utterly ignorant of its own insignificance.

"You said we're not qualified to command you?"
