Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique

Chapter 966: Chapter 967: You Should Go! (First Update)

After returning to the camp, Lee Bufan just looked deeply at Ling Feng without saying much.

He knew very well what Ling Feng’s choice meant. However, since it was Ling Feng’s decision, he wouldn’t persuade him otherwise.

In a certain sense, he and Ling Feng were the same kind of people, both seeking nothing but strength.

As for the attitude of the Southern Army’s higher-ups towards them, it didn’t hold much significance for either of them.

He came to the military just to hone his battle will in the life-and-death struggle, continuously breaking through and getting stronger.

The two exchanged a glance, and they already understood each other’s thoughts.

This was how smart people communicated, of course, aside from the straightforward Jiang Xiaofan and the three women Mu Qianxue, who were completely baffled by today’s feast.

”Big Brother, this visit to the Grand Commander’s tent seems like nothing substantial happened except for eating a meal. The Grand Commander didn’t arrange any positions for us.”

Jiang Xiaofan pat his belly, muttering, ”And I wasn’t even full!”

”You...” Ling Feng shook his head with a wry smile, ”Don’t worry, this Grand Commander won’t assign any positions to us. As for Bufan, if I’m not mistaken, someone will soon convey the Grand Commander’s orders to transfer Bufan away from my side.”

Sure enough, before he finished speaking, footsteps were heard outside the tent, and a commander led a team to gather in front of Ling Feng’s tent. The commanding officer shouted, ”Deputy Commander Zuo Song of the Vanguard Camp, reporting to General Ling.”

”Here they come.”

Ling Feng’s brows raised, leading the crowd out of the camp, and saw Zuo Song kneeling on one knee, a respectful look on his face. Behind him, soldiers held wooden boxes, looking very solemn.

The new recruits around saw this and quickly gathered around, starting a discussion.

”Wow, impressive! At least a rank of Chiliarch, right!”

”I said I had a good feeling about Brother Ling, able to hold his own. He’s definitely material for a great general in the future!”

”What Chiliarch, didn’t you hear he called Ling Feng a General! My goodness, I heard Ling Feng was the young genius who defeated the Royal Sword Team. It’s a shame I was out training and missed that spectacular battle!”

”Whoa, he’s that Ling Feng? I thought he just had the same name!”

Li Yunting and a few others came over, hearing the discussions, laughing secretly to themselves. However, defeating the Royal Sword Team, in their eyes, was akin to a mythical feat.

”It’s the emperor who personally appointed him as a General, the Grand Commander has to pay attention.” Luu Qingshan smirked, envious, ”People like us aren’t that lucky, we have to carve out our path one strike at a time.”

Li Yunting looked back and glared at the guy, frowning, ”Enough! Fix that loose tongue of yours. You think Ling Feng’s rank as General came easily? If you have what it takes, go take on the Tianyang Empire’s Envoy Team? Go defeat the Royal Sword Team?”

Luu Qingshan chuckled awkwardly, ”I’m just envious in my heart, hehe...”

Amidst everyone’s envious gazes, Deputy Commander Zuo Song of the Vanguard Camp smiled and asked, ”Which one is Lee Bufan, Young Master Lee?”

”I am.” Lee Bufan stepped forward, clutching his sword.

Zuo Song immediately bowed, ”Congratulations Commander Lee, from today, you are the Capital Commandant of our Vanguard Camp. Here’s your armor and badge, will you come with us to assume your position immediately, or in three days we come to fetch you?”

His words left everyone dumbfounded.

This group was here to appoint Lee Bufan, but what about Ling Feng?

Especially Li Yunting and those aware of Ling Feng’s identity as General Wei Yuan, they couldn’t believe it.

Ling Feng is a General at least!

Jiang Xiaofan scratched his head, bluntly stepping forward to ask, ”So only Bufan’s appointment? What about me? And my big brother? Has his appointment not arrived?”

”Sorry, no.” Zuo Song shook his head slowly, ”The Grand Commander asked me to pass a message to General Ling, to temporarily remain here awaiting arrangements, assuring a satisfactory arrangement.”

Ling Feng smirked inwardly, this old fox wanted him to quietly retreat!

Zuo Song respectfully bowed to Ling Feng, his gaze then fixed on Lee Bufan, saying courteously, ”Commander Lee, you...”

”Go back and tell your Grand Commander, I, Lee Bufan, have no interest in being a Capital Commandant!” Lee Bufan glared at Zuo Song, exuding a killing intent that frightened Zuo Song considerably.

”Bufan, you should go.”

Ling Feng smiled faintly, ”The position of Capital Commandant in the Vanguard Camp, that’s a high rank!”

”You...” Lee Bufan frowned, ”You know what Yuan Tiangang’s intentions are.”

”Precisely because of that, you should go.” Ling Feng patted Lee Bufan on the shoulder, smiling lightly, ”Go, don’t forget your purpose for coming to the Southern Border, you need to grow stronger!”

”We’re brothers, moving forward and retreating together!” Lee Bufan said firmly, word by word.

”Hahaha!” Ling Feng laughed heartily, ”Don’t worry, someday soon, you’ll be transferred to my camp, becoming a Capital Commandant, no, Deputy General under General Wei Yuan’s camp! Just wait, that day isn’t far!”

Lee Bufan looked deeply at Ling Feng, ”You are my lifelong rival, I believe you won’t disappoint me. Fine, I’ll wait for you!”

Saying so, Lee Bufan reached out and put his badge and battle robe into the Spirit Storage Ring, his gaze fixed on Zuo Song, coldly saying, ”Lead the way!”

”Y-Yes.” Zuo Song shivered, breaking into a cold sweat, knowing that Lee Bufan being his superior, the days ahead wouldn’t be easy.

”Alright, that kid Bufan finally has a good place to go.”

Ling Feng stretched, turned around, and returned to the camp, showing no sign of impatience, unlike his assuring promise to Lee Bufan earlier.

The new recruits around were puzzled, wondering if Ling Feng was about to be a general in the New Soldier Camp?

Days passed by.

Gradually, people from the New Soldier Camp left one after another, Li Yunting and a few others were assigned to the elite Golden Fire Cavalry Camp, Shen Yidao was transferred to the Red Saber Camp.

Then, Jiang Xiaofan, Lin Xian’er, Mu Qianxue, all had their destinations arranged, persuaded away by Ling Feng, leaving only Tuoba Yan by his side.

This was because Tuoba Yan couldn’t leave his side for long, otherwise Ling Feng would have persuaded her to leave too.

Seven days flashed by, and the New Soldier Camp became deserted, with only a few left, while Ling Feng remained leisurely as ever.

On this day, Tuoba Yan couldn’t hold back her confusion any longer, asking Ling Feng, ”Tell me, General Ling, what are you really up to?”

”You’ll know soon enough.”

Ling Feng chuckled, in the camp, not meditating on cultivation nor practicing swordsmanship, seemingly waiting for someone.

Finally, a series of dense footsteps sounded outside the camp, followed by a familiar figure pulling open the curtain, none other than Zhao Dabiao, the Deputy Commander of the Patrolling Camp.
