The recruitment of the Heavenly Army is no longer limited to selection through competition, but voluntary participation in the army, and is finally assessed and passed by the Heavenly Army Alliance envoy.
Once you join the Heavenly Army through selection, the salary is very high, even for the children of some big families. Moreover, if you accumulate military exploits to a certain extent, you can also be awarded the title of city lord of an attached city.
If one ranks among the top ten in terms of military merit within ten years, he will be awarded the title of City Lord of the main city.
You should know that the city lords of the attached cities are generally held by masters in the early and middle stages of Jindan, and the city lords of the main city are held by masters in the late stage of Jindan and even Dzogchen.
However, among the Heavenly Army, there is no emphasis on cultivation, only military merit. This is too attractive.
"Brother, this is really a God-given opportunity. Normally, even a main city can't select many people. Now the conditions are actually so low, and the treatment is still the same. What are we waiting for? Go to the city lord's mansion to sign up!"
"Well, the opportunity is indeed rare. As long as you pass the assessment of the messenger of the heavenly army, you will be able to pass the test smoothly. It will save you a lot of trouble than before. Well, let's sign up to join the army."
From time to time, people left under the notice board and headed straight for the City Lord's Mansion.
"Alas, we obviously need a large number of manpower urgently, but we still talk about it in such a high-sounding way. It seems that the situation at the border is not optimistic!" Zhou Yang sighed secretly.
"Boss, it's very tempting. Even if you can't become the city lord of the main city, you can just become the lord of the annexed city. That is equivalent to the position of our Hai Sect Master!" Cui Kai's eyes shone.
"Idiot, you think your military exploits are so good, you can just be used as cannon fodder!" Xi Danjin rolled his eyes.
"Hey, I'm just talking casually." If Zhou Yang pushed him so hard, Cui Kai would have to retort, but he didn't dare to contradict Xi Danjin's words.
"What's so great about the Heavenly Army? I..." One of Murong Yue's subordinates was about to say something, but was glared at by Murong Yue, and the rest of his words were swallowed back alive.
Cultivator No. 3 also looked at him fiercely, which means that if you talk too much, your tongue will be cut out.
Their Hezhou language is still a bit unfamiliar, and they don’t know much about the situation in Hezhou mainland. If they talk too much, they will get into trouble.
Among these people, only Li Changfeng and Murong Yue's language is closest to that of Hezhou Continent. The others are much different and need time to practice.
Murong Yue's current identity is the guard captain of the Liangqiu family in Suiling City. Cultivators No. 3 and 5 are deputy captains Mu San and Mu Wu respectively. Other black-clothed soldiers are also named Mu, from Mu Liu to Mu Liu. Mu Shisan.
Of course, the You brothers were also awarded the Liangqiu family's guard token.
The Liangqiu family is the first-class family in Suiling City, second only to the eight major powers. With the status of the Liangqiu family's bodyguards, everyone will have a protective umbrella in their future journeys, even when they reach Dingbei City.
Moreover, the Liangqiu family also has a subordinate force in Dingbei, which surprised Zhou Yang because this force turned out to be the Feilong Sect.
The road map Xi Yao Binglan gave him also came with a list of the sects in the Ten Far North Cities, which recorded in detail the many secrets of each sect in the Ten Far North Cities, such as the little-known background and backstage.
Zhou Yang didn't care much about other cities. He focused on Dingbei and Anping.
The Feilong Sect, run by the Linghu family, is backed by the Liangqiu family in Suiling City. Zhou Yang also knew that the leader Linghu Pei was the great-grandfather of Linghu Deyi of the Tianxing Sect.
In addition, Zhou Tianzong was actually supported by Jinding Tower, one of the eight major forces in Sui Ling, which surprised him even more.
It turned out that one of the ancestors of Zhou Tianzong was once a disciple of Jinding Tower. Because of his great military exploits in the border training, he was appointed Lord of the North City and once dominated the entire city.
But later on, the founder's cultivators improved all the way, and after the God-breaking realm, he was nowhere to be found, and the sect gradually declined, but it was still secretly controlled by Jinding Tower.
Later, Taiqingmen and Dashun Trading Company took advantage of the situation and began to compete with Zhou Tianzong. This situation lasted for thousands of years and did not change until recently.
Now, under the leadership of Hai Tianxiao, Zhou Tianzong is showing signs of re-emergence, and has the potential to once again dominate Dingbei.
However, Taiqing Sect and Dashun Trading Company also have strong backgrounds.
The general backstage of Taiqing Sect is the Jiuyou Sect, which is also one of the eight major forces of Sui Ling. The business of Dashun Trading Company is controlled by Xiu Shi of Suiling City, and standing behind Xiu Shi is the He family.
From this point of view, Zhou Tianzong's road to dominating Dingbei will not be smooth sailing.
With this list, Zhou Yang has a clear view of the situation in Dingbeicheng. It can be said that he has a commanding view of everything.
He jumped out of Dingbei and looked at Dingbei, and he naturally saw it more clearly than the local forces in Dingbei.
This is height. Only with height can you have vision and accurate judgment.
As the saying goes, when you reach the top of the mountain, you can see all the mountains and small mountains at a glance. In this way, all areas under the mountain can be seen. But if it does not reach a certain height, the problem will be very one-sided, like looking at flowers in a fog, and it will be confusing.
However, there is another problem that Zhou Yang still can't understand.
The You brothers were once sold to Xiushi. The Bo family could tell the identity of the You brothers. Could it be that Xiushi or even the He family couldn't?
If the He family had known their identities for a long time, why did they sell the You brothers to the Bo family?
He really couldn't figure it out.
Moreover, these things cannot be told to the You brothers, and it is not easy to tell them. They knew very little about Suiling City or even Hezhou, and they couldn't explain it clearly.
Behind Zhou Tianzong was actually the Jinding Tower, which made a chill run down his back.
He was the person who had killed Jinding Tower. If through Zhou Tianzong, he could thoroughly investigate the people who had entered the secret realm in Beicheng, what would he and Cui Kai do?
"Boss, does the Dark Continent not see sunlight all day long? Do the people there live in darkness all year round?" Cui Kai woke up Zhou Yang from deep thought.
"I'll tell you about this later." Zhou Yang said absently.
"oh."
"Let's go." It was not sunset yet, and the teleportation array had not yet been closed.
"What, change the route?" The group of people arrived at the teleportation array outside the city, only to find that there were many guards guarding the long-distance teleportation array, and they were scolding the cultivators who came forward to ask.
"That's right. There is a teleportation array outside the North City. Let's divert there!" Seeing that Zhou Yang and his party were quite powerful, the guard did not yell loudly, but told them to divert the teleportation to the North City.
"Why are we being asked to change the route?" Murong Yue asked dissatisfied.
"I don't know the specific reason. Please forgive me, fellow Taoist." The guard leader was a middle-stage Tianyuan cultivator and was very polite to Murong Yue.
Murong Yue glanced at Zhou Yang, and Zhou Yang nodded slightly.
"Let's go!" Murong Yue waved his hand and led everyone into Feixian City again.
"In that case, we can only wait until tomorrow! Boss Zhou, why don't we forcefully teleport? The strength of those guards is not worth mentioning." Xi Danjin stared with big eyes, very dissatisfied.
She also wanted to call her "boss", but after some thought it felt inappropriate, so she added the character "zhou" in front of "boss".
"There is no need to offend Feixian City because we are in a hurry. Besides, we are not in a hurry. We still have to go through more than a hundred teleportations." Zhou Yang didn't care.
"I don't even want to explain the whole story. It's simply too overbearing!" Xi Danjin was still angry.
"How about the gift I gave you?" Cui Kai saw that Xi Danjin was unhappy and hurriedly came up to change the subject.
He wished he could go longer, so that he could spend more time with his sweetheart.
"I haven't watched it yet!" Xi Danjin said angrily.
"I haven't watched it yet! Why don't you watch it?" Cui Kai was a little anxious.
"What a good thing, it's worth making such a fuss about!" Seeing Cui Kai's look, maybe that gift is really good.
Xi Danjin also became interested, so she took out the jade box Cui Kai gave her and opened the lid with a snap.
"This, this is..." Xi Danjin was shocked by what was in the box.
"Not bad, with this item, it can help you break through the middle stage of Tianyuan as soon as possible!" Cui Kai said proudly.
"Where did you get the Millennium Leaf Pearl? This, this is so precious!" Xi Danjin said excitedly.
"Thousand-year-old leaf beads?" Xi Danjin's voice was loud, attracting the attention of passers-by on the street.
Thousand-year-old leaf beads are rare and rare. What this little woman is holding is the legendary leaf beads!
"Ahem, put it away first." Cui Kai was startled. He didn't expect Xi Danjin to say it so loudly.
"Oh." Xi Danjin also knew that he had lost his temper and quickly put the jade box into his storage bag.
"Little sister, do you want to sell your leaf beads? I am willing to pay a high price for them!"
At this time, a young man wearing an embroidered purple robe came forward and asked with a smile. Behind him, there were several people dressed as guards.
"Not for sale!" Xi Danjin only said two words, turned around and left.
"Hey, don't leave in such a hurry. The price is negotiable. I have a lot of spiritual stones. Of course, if you don't want spiritual stones, other treasures will do!" The young man winked, and the guards stepped forward to stop Xi Danjin.
Zhou Yang remained calm and just watched quietly. He didn't move, and naturally neither did the others.
"I told you, I won't sell it! Are you deaf?" Xi Danjin said angrily.
"She said she wouldn't sell it, why are you like this? Hurry up and leave!" Cui Kai took a step forward, blocked Xi Danjin and shouted.
He hated this young man's lustful eyes.
"Huh?" The purple-robed young man's face darkened, and two guards immediately came to push Cui Kai and cursed.
Naturally, Cui Kai was unwilling to be outdone. He flicked the two people's protruding hands away with all his strength, and said angrily: "You still want to buy and sell by force?"
"Hey, you have a lot of strength! But boy, your eyes are bright. There are some people you can't afford to offend. Otherwise, if you lose your life, you don't know how you lost it!"
One of the guards was bounced away, with a look of surprise on his face. They were both at the third level of Tianyuan, but his strength was obviously not as strong as the other guard.
