Chapter 1339: Chapter 1339
"It’s all thanks to the Honored Lord’s support." The four didn’t dare to take credit.
The Honored Lord asked, "Do you have any recommendations for the vacant positions in the Miniature Underworld?" King of Souls and the others cautiously replied, "It’s all up to the Honored Lord’s arrangements."
"I haven’t been here for a while. You’re more familiar with this place, so recommend someone."
Actually, they had already agreed on the candidates, but if the Honored Lord wanted to appoint someone to a certain position, they would naturally step aside without any objections. The Honored Lord’s magnanimity made them overjoyed, and they obediently presented the list.
Among the four, it was the Lord of the Skeleton Sea who had the most ambitious plans to build his own forces, but unfortunately, his ambitions were greater than his wisdom. At first, he favored Bat Taoist and Butcher Maxwell, but both slipped away and were not well received by the Honored Lord.
As the Miniature Underworld thrived, all four began recruiting and cultivating their own forces, including the Wealth Ghost Judge, whose entourage now included many talented individuals.
This was not an attempt to rebel, but rather a necessary move to maintain their status in the Miniature Underworld.
On the list, the King of Souls had the most candidates, which was the result of compromising with each other. The Honored Lord glanced, removed one unfortunate soul and gave its "Envoy" position to Dave.
Then, a divine force filled the Commander’s Token, and the candidates on the list received their appointments. For a while, the Miniature Underworld resounded with the sounds of drums and music, accompanied by the grateful kneeling of the Unique Cultivators and cheers of long live.
As for the unlucky ghost removed by the Honored Lord, it happened to be the King of Souls’ subordinate, making the old man uneasy, wondering if the Honored Lord was warning him, or thinking that his power in the Miniature Underworld was too strong.
Then, the voice of the Honored Lord rang out again, "King of Souls, have you initiated your second mini-world?"
"Yes," replied the King of Souls, opening up his second mini-world. Unlike ordinary cultivators, they did not need to initiate six mini-worlds to advance to the Eighth Realm, but the more mini-worlds one had, the stronger they became.
King of Souls’ second mini-world was a world filled with corpse mountains and bone seas. Within it were 108,000 "undead citizens," who all possessed some features of a "dragon." These undead citizens could cultivate and grow in this world just like Unique Cultivators, even developing their own civilization.
After understanding the various abilities of the "Undead Citizen Mini-world," the Honored Lord, as always, encouraged the King of Souls and then subtly hinted at Little Loach to leave. The Drowned Ghost Princess was left sulking for days, as the Honored Lord didn’t mention her at all!
After the appointment of a batch of new "officials," the Miniature Underworld became much more orderly, and even without the assistance of 30,000 ghost soldiers, the Grand Gathering didn’t fall into chaos.
Lily and Glenn Mitchell spent some time together at the Summit Guard Post, living happily. In the Guard Post, the number of young men whom the Honored Lord regarded as "eyesores" significantly decreased while Lily’s "reputation" grew louder!
Even after beating someone up, Lily would always look as if she had done something wrong and was full of guilt, but the families still harbored grudges against her. Some of the young men were beaten so badly that the elders in their family put pressure on Glenn Mitchell - who, of course, pushed back.
I’m the Heaven’s Chosen from an impoverished family, with proud and unyielding bones. Can your power make me bend?
It would take someone on the level of the Honored Lord to do that!
Unable to use force, some people changed their approach by appeasing Glenn: Glenn hasn’t married yet, so how about offering our well-born daughters to him? We can form an alliance through marriage, as long as Lily stops interfering with our sons’ contact with the young ladies.
After several attempts, Glenn found himself in a dilemma. Indeed, those well-born daughters knew some tactics, not that they were as straightforward as barmaids, but their legitimate courtship became too much for Glenn to bear, forcing him to flee in panic.
One day, Glenn couldn’t bear it anymore and blurted out, "The Honored Lord isn’t married yet, so why not try directly courting him with your daughters instead?"
As soon as he said it, Glenn regretted it. If his words reached the Honored Lord’s ears, he would surely be punished.
The families could only sigh. They might think that marrying Glenn would be beneath their daughters, but they knew very well that their daughters were not worthy of the Honored Lord. The Honored Lord was too "high" now, and they didn’t dare to dream of such a possibility.
The Honored Lord was pleased with Lily’s recent performance and hadn’t heard about Glenn’s plan to use him as a shield, so he rewarded Glenn with a promotion.
During the days he spent with his sister, the Honored Lord’s daily amusement was hiding behind doors, watching Lily beating up those young men. One day, he couldn’t help but laugh out loud! The humiliated young man cried and ran away.
But in reality, the Honored Lord had secretly been studying the dragon corpse these days. Yes, even the Honored Lord had the dream of being a dragon rider. If he couldn’t get a live one, a corpse would do, even a ten-thousand-year-old corpse; he could bear the disgust.
However, in the end, the inherently opportunistic Honored Lord gave up on the idea. The dragon corpse was indeed powerful, most likely a third-generation True Dragon in its lifetime. But the mysterious threads within the corpse were too bizarre, and the Honored Lord couldn’t be sure that he could eliminate all the hidden dangers.
