“Twelve people, good, good!” Yang Kai smiled happily. Thinking back, when he first entered the Star Boundary, he had seen the Emperor Realm master and was shocked to the core. But after a few dozen years, he had created more than a dozen Emperor Realm in High Heaven Palace! Moreover, these people were basically raised by his own family, and the foundation of such a great Sect was slowly being revealed. It had only been a few dozen years, but if it was a few hundred years or even a thousand years…
Only such a Sect would live up to its reputation as a top Sect.
So Yang Kai was smiling happily.
After laughing for a while, he said, “With so many Emperor Realm masters, there’s no need to worry about the position of Battalion Commander.”
Yao Si sneered, “Does Sir want to appoint all of his Ji Zi Army's command to High Heaven Palace?”
“What’s wrong?” Yang Kai asked.
Yao Si said, “If High Heaven Palace can support the entire Ji Zi army, there is nothing wrong with that, but with the current situation, High Heaven Palace can’t afford it, so the Ji Zi army must gather outside forces. Since they want to gather people, they naturally need to find a suitable position to settle them down. If the position of Battalion Commander is allocated to High Heaven Palace, how could the other First Order Emperor Realm masters submit?”
“Isn’t there a Vice Battalion Commander?” Yang Kai smiled slightly, “And under the Battalion Commander Command, there are also Martial Guards. The position of Left Guards can also be held by First-Order Emperor Realm, right?”
The Han Zhengqing he had encountered on his way back was a Left Martial Guard. He was also a First-Order Emperor Realm, but that was only the establishment of the Bing Chen Army. The Bing Chen Army was rich enough to use a First-Order Emperor Realm master to serve as a Left martial Guard, so there was no reason for his own Ji Zi army to be inferior.
Yao Si shook his head and said, “Although you say so, it’s still inappropriate. Doing so will give the impression that the Ji Zi's army is the army of the High Heaven Palace family…”
“My Ji Zi army was originally an army of High Heaven Palace family!” Yang Kai interrupted.
Yao Si stared at him.
Yang Kai said, “This King Military Order, the army will not dare disobey! I want my Ji Zi army to unite and form a rope. I don’t need any noise inside or outside the army.”
Yao Si quickly said, “It’s true that Sir thinks so, but if we follow your plan…”
Yang Kai grinned, “I know it’s difficult, but aren’t you the one in charge as the Army's Manager?”
Yao Si was a little confused, suddenly realizing that his position as the Ji Zi Army's Manager, was definitely not a good job. What he had accepted was a hot potato, but now he couldn’t shake it off even if he wanted to.
Seeing Yang Kai’s firm attitude, Yao Si slowly shook his head and changed the subject, “Let’s put the matter of the Battalion Commander aside for now. I want to discuss with Sir about the Garrison's Chief position. According to Sir's opinion, the Garrison Chief position must be taken over by High Heaven Palace’s people. Does High Heaven Palace have so many Second or Third Order Emperor Realm masters?”
Naturally, there was no such thing. He also knew how many Emperor Realm there were in High Heaven Palace, so he asked this question to make Yang Kai retreat. Didn’t you want to place all of the important positions to the High Heaven Palace's member? If you couldn’t even gather enough people as the Garrison Chief, how could you arrange them?
“High Heaven Palace doesn’t have one, but I can find one,” Yang Kai smiled slightly, “How about this, I’ll make a list of names, and I’ll have to trouble Yao Si to go to the Seven Mist Sea and ask Army's General Manager Li for them.”
Yao Si’s face twitched as he asked solemnly, “Are you trying to poach someone?”
Yang Kai raised his hand and interrupted, “A good bird chooses a tree to nest in.”
Yao Si said, “It’s better if Lord Commander personally takes charge of this matter.” Yang Kai wanted to poach some masters to serve as his Ji Zi Army's Garrison Chief, but how could such a character be unknown among the various armies? They were definitely the Garrison's Chief of a certain army, this is digging someone's corner.
Although Yao Si wasn’t afraid of offending others, it was best not to do so.
Yang Kai chuckled, “It’s fine with just the Army's Commmander. This King has other important matters to attend to, it’s just that I don’t have the time to spare. It’ll take a lot of effort for the Ji Zi army to build a solid foundation.”
How could Yao Si be willing to do so? He and Yang Kai continued to chatter, not wanting to accept this task.
In the end, Yang Kai helplessly said, “How about this, Army's Manager Yao will deal with this matter first. If it really doesn’t work out, this Army Commander will personally step in.” After saying this, without waiting for any response from Yao Si, Yang Kai stood up and patted him on the shoulder, “I’ll leave it at that. I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave first.”
Saying so, his figure suddenly blurred and disappeared.
“Sir!” Yao Si stood up and shouted, how could he get any response? Yang Kai had long since run off to some unknown place, and his face immediately became ashen. He had come here this time to discuss with Yang Kai about the construction of his the Ji Zi army, this was just the beginning. As the Army Commander, Yang Kai had actually run away, he still had many things to discuss.
Hua Qingsi was still in the main hall when she saw Yao Si's flustered and exasperated look and couldn’t help smiling apologetically, “Army's Manager Yao, please calm down.”
Army's Manager Yao was enraged!
Hua Qingsi quickly said, “This should be something the Palace Master left behind for Army's Manager Yao.” She pointed to something on the table.
Surprisingly, it was a jade slip, but Yao Si didn’t notice when Yang Kai had left it behind. Snorting coldly, he picked up the jade slip and saw a row of names.
Xie Wuwei, Ying Fei, Xi Lei, Hu Fei, Du Mi'er, Lian Chi, Fu Ling, Li Jiao, Mi Qi…
Yao Si’s face was still cold and he was quite angry, but after seeing the names on the list, the coldness on his face slowly melted, and in the end, he actually smiled and reached out to grab the jade slip as if he was holding something important.
When he heard Yang Kai say that he was going to poach someone, he instinctively felt that this was an annoying task, and how could the other Army Commanders easily let him go? If they didn’t let him go, wouldn’t it be up to him, the Army's Manager, to argue with them?
However, from the looks of it, although this task was annoying, it was not as difficult as he had imagined.
At the very least, Xie Wuwei, Ying Fei, Xi Lei, Hu Fei, Du Mi’er, and Lian Chi, these six Monster Kings, all had close relationships with High Heaven Palace, and the Wild Ancient Land’s relationship with Yang Kai was also quite good. Now that these Monster Kings were all under the command of the three Holy Venerable of the Ancient Land, if he were to ask for them under Yang Kai’s orders, Luan Feng and the others probably wouldn’t refuse.
As for Fu Ling, there was even less of a need to talk about her. She was a member of the Dragon Race, ordinary Army Commanders were unable to restrain her, so she had always been under Li Wuyi’s command. Even the elites she had brought with her from Dragon Island had been turned into an unstoppable force by Li Wuyi.
With Yang Kai’s relationship with Dragon Island, Fu Ling would definitely be willing to join his Ji Zi army, and if he could poach a single Fu Ling, it would be equivalent to poaching an entire elite team from Dragon Island. There were more than tens of thousands of them, including several dozen Emperor Realm.
It could be said that the name Fu Ling represented not only herself but also a portion of Dragon Island’s forces.
There was also Li Jiao and Mi Qi. These two were the Sect Masters of the top Sects of the North Region, so they definitely had disciples from their own Sects under their command. If they were to poach these two, it would be the same as poaching the people from Fire Dragon Palace and Full Sky Sect.
He had long heard that the North Region Sects followed High Heaven Palace’s lead, and now that Yang Kai’s own Ji Zi army needed manpower, Li Jiao and Mi Qi would definitely not refuse.
With so many Third Order Emperor Realm masters and Zhu Qing’s help, it was more than enough for them to assume the position of Garrison's Chief.
After arranging the duties of the Garrison's Chief and Battalion Commander, it would be much easier to build the next one, because the positions below didn’t require too much cultivation and High Heaven Palace could be completely self-sufficient.
The Sixth Stem Army (Ji Zi Army) really could become High Heaven Palace’s Army! This wasn’t a bad thing, although it would have some influence on those who joined from outside, but in this way, the cohesion of the Sixth Stem Army would be extremely terrifying, perhaps no other army could compare to it.
After understanding this point, the Army's Manager Yao couldn’t be bothered to argue with Yang Kai any longer. Putting away the jade slip, he walked out of the hall with his hands behind his back, wondering whether he should return to the Seven Mist Sea to find Li Wuyi first or go to the people on the jade slip first to inform them of Yang Kai’s thoughts.
In the end, he decided to go to the Seven Mist Sea to greet Li Wuyi first. In the army, the transfer of personnel above the Battalion Commander had to be done by Li Wuyi, so if he didn’t give Li Wuyi a heads up, it would be somewhat unreasonable.
When he arrived at the Space Array, Yao Si suddenly realized that he had been unwilling to accept this position of Army's Manager, but why was he so eager to help Yang Kai?
After thinking about it for a moment, Yao Si felt that he wasn’t being happy because he was working for Yang Kai, but rather because of the Sixth Stem Army bright future.
…
While the Army's Manager Yao was running around the Seven Mist Sea and the various army bases to poach people, Yang Kai was leading his wives to pay a visit to the Elders of High Heaven Palace.
He had already made his stance clear before, so it would be unreasonable if he didn’t pay his respects now.
However, he didn’t waste any time. From One Spirit Peak to One Spirit Peak, he visited one after another before finally arriving at the place where Fourth Master Yang and Dong Suzhu lived.
After accompanying their parents for a few days, the two elders were naturally happy.
However, Yang Kai could sense the faint worry and anxiety hidden beneath his mother’s laughter.
Even now, there is yet any news of Yang Xue.
Back then, Yang Kai had brought Yang Xiao and Qiong Qi back from Dragon Island, but who would have thought that Yang Xiao, this little brat, who would be so obedient in front of him, to take advantage of his absence to escape with Qiong Qi. Not only did he escape, he even took Yang Xue away.
Liu Yan didn’t feel at ease and followed along to protect them.
In the end, the four of them entered the Four Seasons Land together, but until now, there had been no news of them. Although she knew that with Liu Yan’s protection, Yang Xue should be fine, but as a mother, how could she not miss her daughter?
What’s more, how old was Yang Xue? When she left, she was only seven or eight years old and had just begun cultivating. The Four Seasons Land was the Dao field of the Passing of Time Great Emperor. Even with Qiong Qi and Liu Yan protecting her, who knew what would happen inside?
Every time he thought about this, Yang Kai couldn’t help feeling angry. This little brat Yang Xiao really deserved a beating. It was one thing for him to go, but he actually brought Yang Xue along.
According to Zhu Qing, Dragon Island already knew about this matter, and because of this, Second Elder Fu Zhun had specially made a trip to High Heaven Palace to inquire about the situation. She had even gone to the Four Seasons Land area in the Southern Domain to investigate for half a year, but she hadn’t found any clues. Before leaving, she had told Zhu Qing to tell Yang Kai to immediately go to Dragon Island to see her.
