Longevity Reward Redemption: The Immortal Clan Starts with Farmers

79: The Immortal’s Military Merit Order: The tide has turned!With everyone watching, Chen Chuanwu led several hundred cavalrymen like a sharp blade, breaking through the Viper Gang’s men and driving straight to where Chen Changsheng and his group were located.

These few hundred cavalrymen were elites who had fought alongside Chen Chuanwu on the battlefield for years, naturally possessing a Killing Intent. When they charged, their Evil Qi hit everyone right in the face, making them all look solemn and afraid to speak loudly.

”Who are you? How dare you obstruct official imperial business?”

Official Tu was a seasoned veteran of the officialdom. He could tell at a glance that the troops Chen Chuanwu brought were military elites, so he asked preemptively, hoping to pin a charge on Chuanwu.

”Hmph! The imperial court? Is the imperial court run by your Family? Do you have a written order from the County Magistrate?”

Chen Chuanwu had been in the army for many years and understood the system well; he knew that mobilizing heavy troops like the Black Armor Battalion required reporting to the County Magistrate.

”This... I am a Military Official of Longwei County; I can decide on troop mobilization myself!”

Official Tu was momentarily speechless. He had indeed not sought permission from the County Magistrate, but at this moment, he could not admit his mistake. Doing so would not only lose him his Aura but also leave him vulnerable to being used against!

”A Military Official? Hahahaha! You aren’t one anymore. Retire and get lost immediately!”

Chen Chuanwu let out a long laugh and threw a silk scroll at Official Tu. It was the first-class military merit token given to him by the Foundation Establishment Grand Cultivator Lu Wujiang. He had been troubled about how to use it, but now it seemed perfect to use it at this moment!

”What is this?”

”A first-class military merit token... a Foundation Establishment Grand Cultivator!”

Official Tu caught the silk, initially quite disdainful, but when he saw the first-class military merit token, his expression turned serious immediately. He knew he was already due for retirement, and with this military merit token, Chen Chuanwu taking over the position of Military Official would be absolutely certain.

Moreover, when he saw that the signatory of the military merit token was a Foundation Establishment Grand Cultivator, his face instantly turned pale, and his hands began to tremble uncontrollably!

As the saying goes, old men become cunning. Having struggled and climbed his way up his entire life, he knew too well the power of a Foundation Establishment Grand Cultivator. It could be said that if the other party got angry, no one in the entire Longwei County, from the County Magistrate down to the smallest soldier, would be able to escape.

After all, this was an Immortal cultivation world. In Longwei County, where only those in the Qi Refinement Stage existed, Foundation Establishment was the sky!

”So it is Lord Chen. Please forgive my blindness. Since you have first-class military merit, the position of Military Official will be yours sooner or later. This heavy armor battalion will now follow your orders!”

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Official Tu bowed deeply. This was a gesture typically used by subordinates when greeting their superiors, showing that Official Tu was truly terrified; he had even abandoned his pride!

Chen Chuanwu ignored him and dismounted, walking toward Chen Changsheng and the others. The surrounding soldiers of the Black Armor Battalion, pressured by his Aura, automatically cleared a path for him.

”Father, Chuanwu has been unfilial. I have returned late and caused you distress!”

Chen Chuanwu knelt completely on the ground and kowtowed loudly to Chen Changsheng.

Seeing this, Chen Changsheng hurriedly helped his eldest son up. In truth, just seeing Chuanwu return safely was enough for Chen Changsheng, not to mention that Chuanwu had also helped him resolve the Family’s crisis!

”Father, how shall we deal with them next? My cavalry battalion awaits your command!”

Chen Chuanwu’s fierce gaze swept over Zhao Zhiyi and the others. The ferocious Killing Intent he had cultivated through countless battles on the field made them feel a chill in their hearts!

Even an Innate Master felt the oppressive Killing Intent. How many people had this burly man killed to cultivate such violent Killing Intent!

”Chuanwu, just have the imperial soldiers withdraw. Your father will handle the rest!”

Chen Changsheng glanced at the slightly panicked Zhao Zhiyi, then said to Chen Chuanwu. Not letting Chen Chuanwu use the imperial soldiers was actually Chen Changsheng looking out for him, fearing he might be accused of using public resources for private gain.

”Cavalry battalion, withdraw to the foot of the mountain!”

Chen Chuanwu had always followed his father’s instructions, so he immediately issued the order to the cavalry battalion that had followed him.

”Yes, Colonel!”

The soldiers received the order and then retreated like a tide toward the foot of War Horse Slope.

”Official Tu, do you want to stay at my Chen Family for lunch?”

Chen Chuanwu had sent his soldiers away and then turned to look at Official Tu. Although his tone was calm, the sense of threat was self-evident.

”I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare! I am withdrawing right now!”

”Soldiers of the Black Armor Battalion, withdraw with me!”

Official Tu hurriedly led the Black Armor Battalion toward the foot of the mountain. He glanced at Zhao Zhiyi, cast him a look of helpless apology, and then slipped away without looking back!

As expected, people in officialdom are the fastest at selling out their teammates!

At this moment, the only Innate Masters left on the battlefield were Steamed Bun, Wei Tian, Zhao Zhiyi, and the Essence Spirit Howling Heaven!

Seeing this, Chen Chuanwen knew the tide had turned!

Chuanwen stepped forward, his eyes burning as he looked at Zhao Zhiyi’s only Innate helper—Wei Tian.

”Senior Wei, at this moment, if you can withdraw from War Horse Slope and no longer interfere in the matters between our Family and the Zhao Family, our Chen Family will let bygones be bygones!”

Chen Chuanwen spoke with certainty, which immediately made Wei Tian’s gaze waver. However, at this point, the Zhao Family had no trump cards left to win back support!

Wei Tian glanced at the Chen Family members. Steamed Bun’s eyes were cold as ice, Howling Heaven was eyeing them covetously, and Chen Chuanwu was glaring with wide eyes, as if waiting for a single command to have the army surround and annihilate them.

”Sigh, Brother Zhao, it’s not that Old Man Wei won’t help you; it’s just that the situation is as it is. Old Man Wei still has a Grandson to take care of and cannot risk my life with you. I shall take my leave now!”

Seeing the strong and well-equipped Chen Family members, Wei Tian knew that Zhao Zhiyi’s defeat was certain. Unwilling to die with him, he had to shamefully cup his hands to Zhao Zhiyi. Without waiting for a response, he used his light footwork and sped down the mountain without looking back.

”Hahaha, Zhao Zhiyi, you didn’t expect this, did you? Heaven has not forsaken our Chen Family. Today is the day our two families settle our grudges once and for all!”

Seeing that Wei Tian had fled, Chuanwen couldn’t help but laugh out loud. The situation was now set; Zhao Zhiyi was bound to lose!

”Hehe. I, Zhao Zhiyi, have calculated countless times in my life and never failed. I have not lost to your Chen Family, but to the will of Heaven!”

Zhao Zhiyi narrowed his eyes and said coldly. It must be said that the Zhao father and son were both outstanding individuals; even in this desperate situation, neither had any intention of begging for mercy.

”A person’s fate is destined by Heaven! If Heaven decrees that I, Zhao Zhiyi, shall die here today, I have nothing to say!”

”It’s just that your Chen Family has been scheming for so long; your motives aren’t pure either, right? Isn’t it just for the Immortal Cultivation Manual? I tell you, you will never obtain it!”

A cold smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Zhiyi’s mouth. As an extremely intelligent person, he connected everything he had done and realized that the force targeting him in the shadows must be this Chen Family, who were extremely good at hiding their true abilities.

”It is a pity that I have only one regret in my life: not entering the Immortal gate. Otherwise, I could have wiped out your Chen Family with a wave of my hand!”

Zhao Zhiyi sighed deeply, then looked at his second son. The two exchanged a glance, and for the first time, Zhao Zhiyi showed a loving smile to his son, Zhao Ming, whom he had treated strictly his whole life.

”Second son, go. For the rest of your life, do not seek immortality again. Father will help you one last time and block them for you!”

As his voice fell, Zhao Zhiyi’s entire body erupted with the powerful Aura of an Innate Master. He was like a fierce tiger descending the mountain, rushing straight toward Chen Changsheng.

To capture the bandits, first capture the leader. Zhao Zhiyi rushed straight for the Chen Family’s weak point!
