I'm Ecstatic About Transmigrating Into a Novel As the Villainous Empress's Follower

620: Section 620In an instant.

Qi Lianshan and the others felt as if they were submerged in ten thousand jun of heavy water, unable to catch their breath!

One by one, their eyes filled with shock as they looked at the handsome young man on the head seat in disbelief, their eyes wide open!

Turning their gaze, they discovered that Gu Chungang, the Cangran Sword Ancestor, and the other Martial Saint Embroidered Uniform Guards beside them looked completely normal, as if they were used to it, with not a ripple of emotion in their eyes!

They suddenly realized!

That was it!

A Martial Saint is the absolute supreme powerhouse of this mortal world.

Even if they were to serve the imperial court, they would not humble themselves to such a degree, willingly taking orders from a mere stripling!

Unless—aside from having a noble status, this stripling’s own strength was also ridiculously formidable!

They couldn’t understand it.

Cao Yang was clearly only in his early twenties, how could he have such heaven-shaking cultivation!

But, this did not affect the life-and-death crisis they felt at this moment!

”Your Highness has misunderstood!”

Qi Lianshan bowed, smiling awkwardly: ”Your Highness’s status is so noble, yet you personally came to intercede, which leaves us terrified. We must naturally give you this Face...”

At his side, the other three Dao Sect Elders bowed deeply, terrified and trembling, also chiming in.

”It is truly wonderful that you Elders are willing to give this Prince some Face.”

Cao Yang smiled. The massive pressure dissipated.

Qi Lianshan and the others breathed a sigh of relief and smiled along with him.

However, before they could even finish exhaling.

The next instant, Cao Yang continued: ”However, this is only the first matter.”

”...”

Their hearts suddenly skipped a beat, sensing something ominous: ”May I ask Your Highness, what else is there?”

”It is like this.”

”Presumably, you all know.”

”My Embroidered Uniform Guard was established not long ago, and it is currently lacking in talent.”

”I see that you Elders possess heaven-topping cultivation yet cannot serve the imperial court, which is truly a pity.”

”How about—joining my Embroidered Uniform Guard?”

Cao Yang smiled leisurely.

”This...”

The group hesitated.

Qi Lianshan cupped his hands, speaking with trepidation: ”Your Highness, we are currently Dao Sect Elders. Joining the Embroidered Uniform Guard so rashly, I fear it might be inappropriate, right?”

”What is inappropriate about it?”

Cao Yang chuckled: ”It is precisely because you are Dao Sect Elders that I am seeking you out. Because, apart from the overt guards, my Embroidered Uniform Guard also has a position for covert guards!”

”...”

They looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock!

How could they not understand Cao Yang’s meaning?

This young man not only wanted them to join the Embroidered Uniform Guard, but he also wanted to bring the entire Dao Sect under his control!

”Of course—if you Elders do not agree, that is also fine.”

Cao Yang shook his head, saying indifferently.

Qi Lianshan and the others remained silent.

They were old and crafty.

Having lived for endless years, they would not easily believe Cao Yang’s words.

Fine?

It was indeed fine!

Because if they didn’t agree, they would die!

After hesitating for a moment, the group finally lowered their heads: ”We are willing to serve Your Highness!”

In any case, the current Leader of the Dao Sect was Yu Linglong, not them.

Even if it were controlled by Cao Yang, it would just mean changing the person they took orders from; to them, how much of an impact could it really have?

Besides, even Martial Saint powerhouses famous throughout the Jianghu like the Cangran Sword Ancestor and Blade Unparalleled, as well as those two Mid-stage Martial Saint old monsters from the Divine Martial Division, had all joined the Embroidered Uniform Guard!

If they joined as well, it wouldn’t be losing Face!

”Hahaha!”

”Good!”

”You Elders have the country at heart; it is admirable and commendable!”

Cao Yang laughed loudly.

”...”

Qi Lianshan and the others remained silent.

If it weren’t for the fact that the young man before them was terrifyingly strong, they wouldn’t want to have the country at heart like this either!

Of course, Cao Yang was well aware of their thoughts.

Therefore, to ensure their loyalty and patriotism were more secure, he planted a life-and-death Talismanic Incantation within them.

Only then did he let them leave.

Among these four, Qi Lianshan and the Fat Old Man were from the Human Sect lineage.

The other two Martial Saint Elders were from the Earth Sect lineage.

Coupled with the Beautiful Master and the various Martial Sisters from the Heaven Sect lineage.

It could be said that the current Dao Sect had, on the surface, already become This Cao’s Dao Sect.

As for the shadows, even the Dragon Clan, which had declined to the point of only being able to shrink back to the East Sea, still had a Late Martial Saint stage Xuanlong Ancestor as its foundation.

The Dao Sect could become the long-standing number one under heaven sect, watching as countless mortal dynasties rose and fell.
