Myriad Realms Summoning System

While Xiao Chen was receiving the inheritance of the sword-wielding technique, recruitment of soldiers was also going on vigorously in the Imperial City.

Zhao Yun, who was ordered to form the Third Army of the Great Zhou, set up a temporary military camp outside the south gate of the imperial city to recruit soldiers.

In just a few days, Zhao Yun had recruited more than 10,000 people.

The one with the highest level of cultivation among these people has even reached the level of martial artist, while the one with the lowest level of cultivation is also a three-star martial artist. The quality of the soldiers is quite good.

"General, I also want to join the Empire's army. Is that possible?"

Just as Zhao Yun was leading his soldiers in recruiting, a somewhat dull voice sounded in his ears.

Zhao Yun raised his eyes and saw a middle-aged man in a blue shirt dressed as a scholar standing in front of him.

This middle-aged man's strength is quite good, having already reached the perfection of a martial artist. He is the person with the highest level of cultivation that Zhao Yun has seen since he started recruiting soldiers.

"Of course, with your ability, sir...you can definitely become a general in the army."

Zhao Yun originally wanted to call him "Sir", but felt that it was a bit inappropriate, so he turned to calling him "Your Excellency".

At the same time, he also saw an extraordinary temperament in the middle-aged man that was inconsistent with his own cultivation.

The middle-aged scholar did not pay attention to Zhao Yun's address. Instead, he chuckled and said, "General, could you please introduce me to His Majesty? I came here especially because I admire your reputation."

Zhao Yun was a little hesitant at this moment. Although the opponent's strength was quite good, it was a bit unrealistic to want to meet Xiao Chen as soon as he entered the army.

It’s not that Zhao Yun looked down on him, but a martial artist’s perfect cultivation was nothing in the hands of Xiao Chen.

Just because the other person has an extraordinary temperament, it cannot be used as a reason to recommend someone.

As if seeing Zhao Yun's worry, the middle-aged scholar did not explain, but lightly tapped the ground with his finger, and then several complex lines appeared on the ground.

When Zhao Yun saw these lines, his expression suddenly became solemn. He then stared at the middle-aged man and asked, "May I ask your name?"

This was the first time that Zhao Yun looked the person in front of him in the eye, and even placed him in a higher position than himself. This made the soldiers around him and the warriors who had joined the army surrounding him a little curious.

The middle-aged man bowed to Zhao Yun and said, "I am Zhu Wu, please give me your guidance."

Zhao Yun also bowed to Zhu Wu and said, "Mr. Zhu Wu, please come this way. I will take you to see His Majesty."

He did not dare to neglect Zhu Wu at all, because he was very clear about the status of a formation master.

"General, could you please take me with you?"

Just as Zhao Yun was about to take Zhu Wu to see Xiao Chen, a low but cheerful voice sounded, which once again attracted Zhao Yun's attention and made him stop in his tracks.

He saw an old man in his fifties wearing armor and with a gray beard walking towards him.

The old man was seven feet tall, holding a dragon-imprisoning stick about ten feet long in his hand. His eyes were like cold stars in the dark night, making people dare not look directly at them. He truly had an extraordinary bearing.

When Zhao Yun saw the old man, he was surprised again. He didn't expect that a strong military commander would come to participate in the recruitment. It was really unexpected.

Even though Wu Shuai is currently under Xiao Chen's command, he is definitely considered a pretty strong man.

Zhang Liao, the commander of the Tenglong Legion, is only an eight-star military commander, but this old man's cultivation has reached the level of a seven-star military commander.

Judging from his cultivation alone, he is already qualified to meet Xiao Chen in person.

"May I ask your name? Are you here to join the Great Zhou Empire's recruitment?"

Zhao Yun did not want to give up easily on such a martial arts master. If he could recruit him into his legion, the strength of the legion would definitely be greatly enhanced.

The old man walked up to Zhao Yun and said solemnly, "I am Yang Lin. I have heard that the emperor of the Great Zhou Empire is benevolent, righteous and wise, so I came to seek refuge with him. I hope this general can help introduce me to you. Yang Lin will be grateful."

"Since you have come to seek refuge with His Majesty, Zilong has no choice but to accept the invitation. It just so happens that I am going to meet His Majesty the Emperor with Mr. Zhu Wu, so let's go together."

Yang Lin's coming to join Xiao Chen was exactly what Zhao Yun wanted, saving him the trouble of recruiting him.

After the three men headed towards the imperial palace, heated discussions arose behind them among the countless people who were participating in the recruitment.

"Who on earth are these two people that General Zilong personally introduced them to Your Majesty?"

"I don't know, but looking at the unfathomable aura on them, they are obviously masters."

"I think so, otherwise how could General Zilong take them to see His Majesty?"

"I'm so lucky. I just came to participate in the recruitment and I was personally received by His Majesty. I'm going to soar to the sky."

…

The recruitment of soldiers is going on vigorously inside the Imperial City, and a hundred miles outside the Imperial City, a giant mechanical snake is slowly moving towards the city gate.

This mechanical snake is more than 30 meters long, with a body thickness of about 3 meters, and its body is bright red.

At the head of the mechanical snake, a thin old man with a hunched back was looking forward with a strange smile.

The old man looked very frail, with a long thin beard on his chin and a striking black scar on the left side of his face.

There seemed to be some hidden disease in his left hand, so he was wearing a prosthetic hand made of a mechanism.

This mechanical snake is very flexible in its movements. No matter what kind of terrain it faces, it can easily pass through it and is not affected by its huge size at all.

"Boss, what do you think that is?"

On a low hill, a young man with a wretched face said to the burly man beside him.

There were nearly a hundred people standing behind the two of them. Most of these people were at the Wubing level, and they were obviously a group of powerful bandits.

The burly man with a scar on his face looked at the mechanical snake winding forward with a fierce look on his face.

"Damn it, no matter what it is, just rob it first," the big man said gritting his teeth.

Ever since Xiao Chen regained the throne, intimidated by Xiao Chen's reputation, this group of bandits near the imperial city have restrained themselves a lot and have not taken action for several days.

But bandits are also human beings and they also need to eat!

After not looting for a few days, the supplies stored in the village have been almost consumed by them.

"Hey, old man, stop right there. This road is mine. If you want to pass through here, you have to pay me money."

A group of bandits, led by a burly man, successfully stopped Gongshu Chou.

Faced with the sudden interception, there was no particular change in the expression on Gongshu Chou's face.

Instead, he smiled strangely and said in a hoarse and deep voice, "The world is going downhill. You actually want to rob an old man like me?"

The burly man said viciously, "Old man, stop talking nonsense to me here. If you know what's good for you, get down here right away and hand over all the gold, silver and treasures you have on you. I'll let you live."

The mechanical snake is three meters tall, and a burly man who is nearly two meters tall seems a little short in front of it.

Gongshu Chou lay on the edge of the mechanical snake, looked at the ground and said, "Isn't this embarrassing for me? How can I get down from such a high place? I have a lot of gold and silver treasures on me. How about you help me?"

When the bandits heard Gongshu Chou say that he had a lot of money on him, their eyes suddenly lit up.

The burly man in the lead was even more ecstatic and said, "Pockmarked, hurry up and bring him down to me."

The wretched young man heard this and smiled wickedly, "Don't worry, boss. I'll go right away."

After saying that, he led the two bandits towards the mechanical snake a few meters in front of them.

No one noticed that a sinister smile appeared at the corner of Gongshu Chou's mouth.
