Chapter 75: Comparison of Military Achievements

  Gu woke up suddenly.

  This time I woke up, feeling refreshed and invigorated.

  Took a deep breath, what a comfortable air.

  A raised hand of vigilance, a knife by one's side.

  The knife felt relieved.

  Gu Chao was now accustomed to having a knife by his side at all times.

  This time the sand snake extermination was settled, Gu Chao first went to take a bath, changed into another blue Tai Shan uniform, and then went to the hotel department of Ru Jia Guest House to order a few dishes. He had a good meal first, as this period of exterminating sand snakes really didn't even have a good meal.

  Gu Chao was eating when he found a pair of eyes staring at him.

  This was a pair of extremely bright eyes, full of interest, wearing a white skirt, Liu Ya stood with her hands behind her back, sitting opposite Gu Chao. Her body emitted a faint fragrance: "How did you become so strong, getting stronger and stronger, now even surpassing Murong Ying, becoming the number one person in our New Snow Mountain Villa."

  Gu Chao burst out laughing: "Because I worked hard." Of course, this reason is quite ridiculous. Working hard, yes, Gu Chao was indeed very hardworking, but didn't Murong Ying work hard? Didn't Fang Yin work hard? Didn't Lin Yuan work hard? Which one of them wasn't working hard to become stronger? It's not like only Gu Chao was working hard.

  Gu Chao's success was due to many factors, such as the mysterious small knife, the gaze from the earth, and the ingenious method. At that time, on the Yingxia Peak, even if someone with the same strength as Gu Chao were to replace him, they would not have been able to obtain the mysterious small knife, and only Gu Chao's ingenious method could have succeeded.

  Liu Ya looked at Gu Chao for a while, but didn't find the answer. She smiled: "Next is to compare our battle achievements. I hope we won't be bloodbathed by the Ninth Mountain Villa with ten times the achievement this time. But on the other hand, even if we were bloodbathed by the opponent with ten times the achievement, you killed the strongest post-heavenly nine-layered three-headed sand snake, and just this one thing has earned back our face."

  Yes, now that the extermination of the sand snakes is done, there are only two things left to do.

  One of them is to record the merits. This time, the task of exterminating the sand snake was assigned by the higher-ups, and if the task was completed well, there would naturally be a corresponding reward, with those who achieved higher merits receiving more rewards. At the same time, the Ninth Mountain Villa and the Tenth Mountain Villa, due to the long-standing feud between West Gate's Elder Can and South Palace's Elder Yuan, wanted to outdo each other, so they added a process of comparing their merits.

  The second task is the follow-up work. Yes, Linhe County has indeed killed the sand snakes, but the land in Linhe County is still desertified. Linhe County has a lot of land, and under such circumstances, the Taishan Sect needs to take out a kind of Qing Su grass seed, plant it in various places in Linhe County, and then let the sandy land quickly grow grass, and then burn the grass dry and replant rice, turning it back into arable land. Of course, this task doesn't require some outer sect disciples to do. As a large martial force machine, the Taishan Sect has branches all over the place, in addition to combat personnel, there are also logistics personnel, so just let the logistics personnel of each branch handle this matter.

  ……

  Wow!

  A heavy rain poured down.

  But it's a good rain.

  Such rain helps sandy land to return to arable land as soon as possible.

  The county seat of Linhe County has already set off firecrackers to celebrate the complete annihilation of the demon snake. Many people who were originally displaced have returned, and it is said that Qiao's Rice Shop in the county seat is now offering free porridge. Refugees can go to Qiao's Rice Shop to receive rice, calculated by person and day, with one person receiving two taels of rice per day. It's not that Qiao's Rice Shop is a great philanthropist, but rather because of what the Tai Shan Sect did behind the scenes.

  In the midst of the torrential rain, the backyard of Linhe's large wine house by the river.

  Linhe Hotel is actually another business under the Tai Shan faction's branch.

  At this time, in the backyard of Linhe Hotel, more than 20 people were seated.

  In the east, Ximen Zuan is seated, and behind him stand eighteen outer sect disciples. These eighteen outer sect disciples are precisely Zhuang Feihe, Lin Yi, Hong Qian and the other eighteen outer sect disciples.

  In the west, sitting is Nan Gong Yuan elder, behind Nan Gong Yuan elder, standing are Gu Chao, Murong Ying, Fang Yin, Lin Yuan, Zhang Tao and Liu Ya these six outer door disciples.

  In front of the two groups of people, a wine table was placed, with fine wines and delicacies on it, but apparently no one had time to care about these, because now is the time to show off their achievements.

  Ximen Can's gaze swept across the many outer sect disciples of the tenth mountain villa, finally coming to rest on Gu Chao: "Is this really Gu Chao, who has cultivated the second-stage martial skill 'Wind Step' to small success and the second-stage martial skill 'Wind Blade Technique' to great success? At such a young age, he can already bring his martial skills to this level; it's truly impressive." Of course, Ximen Can had received intelligence about Gu Chao's performance in that battle against the three-headed sand snake of the Post-Heaven realm's ninth layer.

  Ximen stared at Gu Chao for a while, then looked at Murong Ying: "This is the young genius Murong Ying, Nangong Yuan. I didn't expect that this generation would produce so many talents, and there are two geniuses of this level." These two naturally referred to Gu Chao and Murong Ying.

  Nan Gong Yuan let out a cold snort: "Your Ninth Mountain Villa also has two small geniuses, your Zhuang Bufan and Zhou Kan are both small geniuses." Zhuang Bufan ranked first in the Ninth Mountain Villa, Zhou Kan ranked second. The strength of these two people was quite formidable, already at the Xiantian realm. This time it was to train the post-heavenly disciples, so these two did not participate.

  Ximen Can and Nan Gong Yuan, these two elders stared at each other coldly, really looking like they were about to start a fierce fight at any moment.

  But the local leader Liu Dachuan looked helplessly at these two, Liu Dachuan was not an elder, it's not easy to become an elder of Mount Tai Sect, Liu Dachuan's identity in Mount Tai Sect is a member, but he is a high-ranking member. Members are divided into three levels: low-level, mid-level and high-level.

  Low-ranking followers are the lowest level of people with little status.

  The intermediate helpers are those who follow many elders, such as Nan Gongyuan and Ximen Can, with 20 mid-level helpers by their side. These people have good strength and can complete many tasks. The black-clad helpers Gu Chao saw in Muren Alley were intermediate helpers.

  Senior members are in charge of relatively important positions, such as the helmsman who is sent out. Although senior members cannot be compared with elders, they are also considered middle to high-level within the Tai Shan Sect system.

  Liu Daichuan and Liu Du looked helplessly at these two elders.

  However, it is clear that both Xi Men Can and Nan Gong Yuan also knew that this was not the time to cause trouble, so although they were at odds with each other, they still did not come to blows.

  Liu Dachuan, the helmsman, seeing that the two had not fought, let out a sigh of relief: "This time, Linhe County has seen the appearance of the demonic beast, the sand snake group, which has harmed the local area. However, under the attack of our Taishan Sect's outer door disciples, the sand snakes were finally exterminated, eliminating the threat of the sand snakes and restoring peace to Linhe County."

  Liu Dachuan, the helmsman, began to speak. As a local leader, big or small, his speech skills were naturally not bad, and these speeches were also necessary to give his actions a sense of justice, which was an essential function of the orthodox school. After saying a few more sentences, he immediately turned to the main topic: "Today is exactly the time to record the achievements of the 24 outer door disciples in the battle against the sand snake. Now, let's start with the Ninth Mountain Villa."

  "The 9th Mountain Villa, Zhuang Feihe's achievements: 6 Sand Snake Horns at the 6th layer of the Post-Heaven Realm, 7 Sand Snake Horns at the 7th layer of the Post-Heaven Realm, and 3 Sand Snake Horns at the 8th layer of the Post-Heaven Realm." These are Zhuang Feihe's achievements, which aren't bad.
