184 Successful Reunion
When Guo Fuzhen heard this, he frowned slightly. The empress seemed to have thought of something and looked at Lin Ran. “Do you know the enemy?”
“They’re not enemies. They’re my people.”
Lin Ran chuckled and turned around to wink at the empress. “Do you still remember the ‘Sin Camp’ I mentioned to you before?”
When Lin Ran said “Sin Camp”, he meant the martial artists who participated in King Zhao’s rebellion and were recruited into the army of the Heavenly Saint Dynasty.
Because this army was filled with sinners, Lin Ran gave them the name “Sin Camp”.
The empress instantly reacted and waved at Guo Fuzhen, who was still hesitating. “General Guo, do as Deputy General Lin says.”
Although Guo Fuzhen was a little suspicious, he still said to the soldier who came to report, “Open the gate to let them in!”
“Yessir!”
The soldier turned around and ran away. Soon, the low sound of the horn fell silent.
Almost at the same time, a dark cloud floated past the city wall. On closer look, it was hundreds of martial artists flying on swords!
Even if they did not deliberately release their auras, the aura of hundreds of ninth level Senior Martial Masters was still quite terrifying.
Boom—
Guo Fuzhen subconsciously released his aura and was about to go out to check when someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder. It was a light touch, but it was able to calm the restless internal energy in Guo Fuzhen’s body.
“General Guo, don’t worry. I’ll go.”
Lin Ran chuckled and put away the Yin-Yang Sword before walking out. Guo Fuzhen, on the other hand, was shocked!
It had to be noted that his aura just now was in full swing and he circulated his internal energy to its max. With just a light touch on the shoulder, Lin Ran could suppress his internal energy. His cultivation was at least a realm higher than his!
“Your Majesty…”
Guo Fuzhen hesitated for a moment before asking the empress tentatively, “May I ask what realm Deputy General Lin is at?”
The empress raised her head to look out with a faint smile. Guo Fuzhen turned around and saw that Lin Ran had already walked into the courtyard. As he looked up at the group of martial artists flying on swords in the sky, a powerful aura erupted!
“A Half-Saint?!”
Guo Fuzhen’s eyes instantly widened as he muttered in shock. Like him, the more than 400 martial artists on their swords in the sky were also shocked.
The moment Lin Ran released his aura, the four hundred people felt their bodies tremble.
Not only was Lin Ran’s aura incomparably powerful, but it was also endless like a vast sea. Just the aura he displayed alone was comparable to the aura of more than 400 of them combined!
“It’s Sword God!”
Someone in the crowd shouted. It was obvious that they recognized Lin Ran’s sword intent. Then, the four hundred people flew down and landed on the ground.
In the blink of an eye, the originally empty yard was filled with people. Some of them even had to stand outside the door. There were too many of them!
“Sin Camp reporting for duty…”
A middle-aged man who seemed to be leading the team was about to greet when he saw Lin Ran. He was stunned. “Who are you? Why do you have Sword God’s sword intent?”
Lin Ran’s expression changed slightly. He suddenly remembered that when he went to recruit these people, he was dressed as the Ten Miles Sword God. In other words, these people did not know him!
Fortunately, Lin Ran reacted quickly and replied in a low voice, “It’s not convenient for me to appear at the border, so I disguised myself… Here my name is Lin Ran, and I’m the deputy general of the Northern Garrison.”
“Oh—I see!”
That person was enlightened and had no doubts about Lin Ran’s words.
After all, there was an agreement between the countries that those above the Grandmaster Realm were not allowed to participate in the battle. If Ten Miles Sword God was spotted coming to a sensitive place like the border between two countries, it would indeed cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.
At this moment, the empress and Guo Fuzhen also came out.
Seeing this courtyard filled with martial artists, even Guo Fuzhen, who was a man of the world, could not help but be taken aback.
It had to be known that the soldiers in the army were generally at the Martial Master Realm. Even in all the armies in the Heavenly Saint Dynasty, ninth level Senior Martial Masters were rare.
But now, there were more than 400 ninth level Senior Martial Masters standing in his courtyard. How could Guo Fuzhen not be surprised?
Lin Ran was about to introduce them when Guo Fuzhen saw the middle-aged man and immediately smiled. “Benefactor! Why are you here?”
“Benefactor?!”
Lin Ran and the empress were puzzled.
Guo Fuzhen hurriedly explained, “Your Majesty, at the end of the day before yesterday, I led troops to attack the Great Yong Dynasty. I didn’t expect to fall into their trap and be surrounded. If not for these benefactors arriving in time to save me, I’m afraid I would have died on the battlefield!”
“General Guo, you are welcome!”
The middle-aged man glanced at Lin Ran with gratitude and emotion on his face. “We’re all sinners. If not for the sword… Senior Lin Ran giving us a chance to redeem ourselves, we would probably have died under his sword!”
“It’s our duty to reinforce the battlefields. Saving you is just our duty. If General Guo wants to thank someone, thank Senior Lin Ran instead.”
Hearing this, Guo Fuzhen immediately looked at Lin Ran.
Although he didn’t know why these martial artists called Lin Ran Senior, Guo Fuzhen had already realized that Lin Ran’s ability was not as simple as he thought.
Before Guo Fu could thank him, Lin Ran hurriedly waved his hand and said, “We all work for the Heavenly Saint Dynasty. There’s no need to thank me.”
With that, Lin Ran looked at the people in the courtyard. He pretended to be displeased and said, “Why aren’t you kneeling when you see the emperor?”
“The emperor?”
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Their gazes gathered on the handsome young man beside Lin Ran.
At the same time, Lin Ran secretly placed his hand on the empress’s back and instantly activated the Regal Technique, Sovereign Descent.
Boom—
A surging emperor’s pressure swept out. Almost instantly, everyone knelt on the ground with pale faces and their foreheads pressed against the ground. Even General Guo Fuzhen was no exception!
Seeing Lin Ran wink at her, the empress couldn’t help but roll her eyes. Then, she said calmly, “I rarely leave the palace. It’s not surprising that you don’t know what the emperor looks like… Rise!”
As soon as she finished speaking, the emperor’s pressure that seemed to make the world shake dissipated.
Everyone kneeling on the ground heaved a sigh of relief. Then, they shouted in unison, “Greetings, Your Majesty! Long live His Majesty!”
“Rise.”
The empress repeated herself. After giving Lin Ran a look, she retreated into the hall with Guo Fuzhen.
These martial artists were all guilty people. Even if the empress did not say anything, the fact that she was present made them feel stressed out.
Moreover, the existence of the Sin Camp was a secret. In front of Guo Fuzhen, there were many things that could not be said openly.
