Sword Emperor of the Astonishing Sky

At noon, the sun is high.

The fiery sunlight shines down from the sky and falls on the dome of the majestic Chu State Palace. It reflects with the glazed gold tiles and reflects an extremely luxurious jade palace.

On the Humen campus, disciples from five families and seven sects arrived one after another.

Under the arrangements of each attendant, they waited in their respective areas.

"Masters of the Tianshui Sect, please follow me."

After the Tianshui Sect chariot entered the Humen campus, a eunuch came over and said with a smile.

"Please lead the way." The third elder smiled and nodded, leading the Tianshui Sect disciples over.

In the end, the Tianshui Sect disciples stood on the southeast side of the Humen campus.

After Lin Bai stood still, he looked back around and saw that almost all the disciples from the five families and seven sects had arrived.

Moreover, the disciples of the five families and seven sects all put on the disciple robes of each family and clan, and they all tidied themselves up and were in high spirits.

Lin Bai glanced over and saw the saints of the five families and seven sects, such as Chen Yule, the saints of the Li family, the saints of the Zhao family, etc., all among them.

In the Humen campus, in addition to the disciples of the five families and seven sects, there are also some warriors wearing Zhaoxingsi robes, led by Zhu Mo.

In addition to the disciples of the five families and seven sects, there were many warriors whom Lin Bai didn't know who were also waiting here.

Lin Bai didn't ask too many questions and just stayed quietly.

Time passed by minute by minute.

The disciples of the five families and seven sects began to wait a little impatiently.

Yi Gu scratched his head and scratched his head in agony, and asked the third elder: "Elder, why hasn't it started yet? When are we going to see Emperor Chu?"

The third elder turned his back to everyone and said in a low voice: "We are not qualified to meet Emperor Chu. Do you think Emperor Chu can meet anyone?"

"We are here just to confer a title. We don't need to worry about other things."

"Now, His Royal Highness King Chen is meeting with Emperor Chu in the Golden Palace to report on the major and minor matters of the Blood God Sect in Kezhou."

"After His Highness King Chen has reported back, Emperor Chu will send down rewards. At that time, the eunuchs in charge of the palace will come to Humen Campus with Emperor Chu's decree to discuss merits and reward them."

"After we receive the reward, we can leave."

After hearing the third elder talk about today's conferment process in detail, Lin Bai and others suddenly realized.

Yi Gu curled his lips and said, "That's it? I thought I could see Emperor Chu?"

The third elder smiled and said: "This is how ordinary conferrals are done."

"Although the disciples of the five families and seven sects contributed a lot to the destruction of the Blood God Sect in Kezhou, many of them had little credit."

"Most of today's conferments are just to be conferred a 'Chu Shi'. They will be rewarded with some purple gold and forget about it."

"Of course, if someone is awarded the title of Marquis today, they need to stay and enter the palace to express gratitude."

"But in my opinion, although the work of destroying the Blood God Sect was well done, the contribution was not great enough to be awarded a title, so most people can only get the title of 'Chu Shi'."

While chatting, half an hour passed unknowingly.

At this time.

A shout came from outside the Humen campus.

"The decree has arrived!"

All the warriors in the Humen school bowed down and saluted.

Lin Bai and Yi Gu looked at each other and saw everyone around them bending down to salute. They were no exception and had no choice but to obey.

When in town, do as the Romans do.

Immediately, a eunuch in purple official uniform, holding a fly whisk in his right hand and holding an edict high in his left hand, followed by more than a dozen young eunuchs and a large number of forbidden troops, entered the Humen Campus.

The old eunuch quickly walked up the stairs to the general ordering platform, spread out the edict, and began to read.

"Edict of Emperor Chu!"

"Today, the Blood God Sect in Kezhou is poisoning all living beings, causing cholera. Prince Chen, King Chu, Junyou, under the order of the Emperor of Chu, led troops to conquer and annihilate the Blood God Sect. The five families, seven sects and the Zhaoxing Division warriors have made the greatest contribution..."

"Now I have His Highness King Chen to report back and reward the disciples of the five families and seven sects based on their merits."

"The holy son of the Li family, Li Mo, will be awarded the rank of Lord and will be rewarded with ten thousand gold."

"Li Qi, a disciple of the Li family, is awarded the rank of Chu Shijue and is rewarded with a hundred gold."

"Li Jiao, a disciple of the Li family, is awarded the rank of Chu Shijue and is rewarded with a hundred gold."

"..."

"The holy son of the Zhao family, Zhao Xiantu, will be awarded the title of Lord and will be rewarded with ten thousand gold."

"..."

"The holy son of the Sun family, Sun Miao, will be awarded the title of Lord and will be rewarded with tens of thousands of gold."

"..."

"We asked the holy son of Tianzong, Shangguan Tong, to confer the title of Shangqing and reward him with ten thousand gold."

"..."

"The Holy Maiden of the Holy Lotus Palace, Huang Qingyun, is awarded the rank of Lord and will be rewarded with ten thousand gold."

"..."

The old eunuch slowly stated the names of the warriors who should be awarded the title on the edict.

Lin Baizi listened carefully. Just as the third elder expected, although the disciples of the five families and seven sects were present in the destruction of the Blood God Sect, they basically did not have much credit.

Most people only received the title of "Chu Shi".

The title of Chu Shi is the lowest level of title in Chu State.

But better than nothing.

Only warriors at the Saint Son level of the Five Families and Seven Sects were awarded the title of "Shangqing".

Although there is only a slight difference between the title of Shangqing and the title of Chushi, there is a huge difference.

In the Chu State, once a holder of the title of Shangqing wants to join the Chu State, he or she can apply to the Chu State to serve as an official.

For example, Luo Cong, the lord of Fengling City, He Yi, the lord of Wuen City, and others all hold the title of Shangqing.

If the saints and saints who have received the title of Shangqing no longer want to stay in the sect one day, they can leave the sect themselves, apply for official service in Chu State, choose a city within the eighteen imperial states, and go there. Be the city lord.

If you have good connections, you may be able to directly stay in the imperial capital as an official.

"Bai Yifei, a disciple of the Tianshui Sect, is awarded the title of Chu Shijue and is rewarded with a hundred gold coins!"

The old eunuch read through the five and seven sects one by one, and finally arrived at the list of Tianshui Sect.

When Bai Yifei heard that he was awarded the title of "Chu Shi", he couldn't hide the joy on his face.

Although the title of Chu Shi is low, it is still a recognized title in Chu State.

There are hundreds of millions of living beings in the entire Chu State, but how many warriors have the title of Chu Shi? Not even a million!

So, this is also a good honor.

"Bai Yifei thanks you and wishes Emperor Chu a long life."

Bai Yifei expressed his gratitude with excitement.

Immediately afterwards.

The old eunuch read out the next name.

"Lin Bai, a disciple of the Tianshui Sect, is awarded the rank of Lord and is rewarded with ten thousand gold coins!"

When Lin Bai's award came out, not only the many disciples of the Tianshui Sect exclaimed, but also the warriors from other sects and families were surprised.

Because they all saw that ordinary warriors would only be rewarded with the title of "Chu Shi".

Only the saints and saints of the five families and seven sects will be awarded the title of "Shangqing".

Now that Emperor Chu had granted Lin Bai the title of Shangqing, it was clear that Emperor Chu had regarded Lin Bai as the holy son of the Tianshui Sect.

Even Lin Bai himself was stunned for a moment.

The third elder shouted in a low voice: "Lin Bai, thank you quickly."

"Oh." Lin Bai came back to his senses and bowed his hands: "Thank you, Lin Bai."

Bai Yifei, who was still complacent just now, his smile froze and his face turned pale.

He couldn't believe that he had the title of Chu Shi, but Lin Bai actually had the title of Shangqing!

The "Chu Shi Nobility" in his hand instantly lost its flavor.

In fact, this even made a look of hatred and anger appear on Bai Yifei's face.
