Chapter 126: The Legion of the Guards

In addition to the more than 100 early stage Qi refining cultivators, Zhang Fan also selected three monks who had considerable attainments in spiritual power, internal qi, and talismans. It's not that Zhang Fan doesn't plan to select more, but there aren't many qualified foundation building stage masters within the Luoyun Mountain System and even the surrounding tens of millions of miles, and there are only a few hundred people left in total after a few battles. Among them, the range is also relatively strong, and the number of people who have a strong spiritual power, internal qi and runes, and a relatively large number of remaining healthy lifespans, is less than a hundred, in total. After Zhang Fan's relatively strict reliance on illusion test, there is no big problem with his character, and there are only three of them, and these three are all talented women, as expected.

When these women barely passed the test and came to Zhang Fan's approach, they found that Zhang Fan's external spiritual power and internal qi and the power they gave people were not inferior to those when they first met, and they also felt a huge panic in their hearts, but soon several people were relatively calm, waiting for the verdict of fate.

"Don't you have anything to say?" Zhang Fan asked with a very calm and easy-going smile, not like a senior at least the Yuan Infant level or higher.

This tone did not reassure the few women who had just undergone the test of character illusion and still had lingering palpitations, because according to the logic of this world, with their previous performance of deceiving their teachers and destroying their ancestors in the illusion, even if they finally showed repentance, it was impossible to be forgiven anywhere in this world and in front of any master.

"Your Excellency... If you know that you have committed an unforgivable offense... When she said this, Ye Ruyun remembered many things in the previous illusion test. In that illusion, Zhang Fan that Ye Ruyun met seemed to be a wicked person who had no love for his subordinates and did whatever he wanted, and he himself became the furnace of this "wicked man". It's just that one day, Ye Ruyun suddenly discovered that Zhang Fan would completely lose the ability to warn the outside world at some point during his rest and cultivation, and he also found that when he imitated the other party's former appearance near a certain organ below his sea of qi, absorbing some essence in his body would secretly increase his own strength and even spiritual power. In the end, Zhang Fan lost the ability to "do evil" and became a puppet that Ye Ruyun and several companions around him could control.

But even so, as long as some of Zhang Fan's orders are not too ridiculous, Ye Ruyun, Ye Ruyue's sisters, and a woman named Sun Mei'er, who have replaced Zhang Fan as Yuanying-level masters, can still barely still regard Zhang Fan as their own honor, and have no intention of replacing him.

Being able to do this, even among the foundation building masters of the Luoyun Mountain system who are relatively conservative in the wind, it can be regarded as almost one in a hundred, which is also the reason why Zhang Fan finally chose these people as his personal envoys.

According to the original view, this kind of "slave" moral quality is very inconsistent with the universal values and aesthetics of modern people, but Zhang Fan has begun to understand it a little bit. Because compared with ideals and doctrines, things like ideas and even principles are still relatively more solid. Everyone has their own understanding of the world, and this understanding may change anytime and anywhere because of people and things. If today, who is able to stand independent and free and advocate that "all living beings are equal," why will he not defect to the enemy and become an undercover agent of the enemy because of his own mistakes or petty tempers? It is not surprising that the revolutionary party of Lenin's and Stalinist eras, in addition to its personal views on doctrine and line, was more important in terms of "party spirit" and "organizational principles."

Zhang Fan said solemnly at this time: "Of course your performance in the illusion is guilty. When you encounter a situation where the wicked are respected and cannot be admonished, you can choose to flee openly like the characters in some folk novels, or find another place, or publicly issue a war letter to challenge or turn your face, which is not contrary to the principles of the world. But in the end, you chose shamelessness and conspiracy, and lost your martial virtues. Therefore, the manifestation of the Supreme in the illusion is not a reason for you to be exempt from your guilt. It stands to reason that I should at least depose you and expel you from Shenwu City because of your behavior. However, your behavior in the latter part of the illusion is a rare choice in the world. Because of this, I still plan to stay with you after thinking about it for a long time, and I hope you will not disappoint me in the future... ”

Zhang Fan finally said this, and the reason is very simple: if you can make the other party owe him a great favor or guilt, then why untie the other party's knot?

"Respect the kindness! Ruyun has nothing to repay but complains... ”

"Needless to say, these clichés are said. I can actually see what is going on in your heart, every moment. I don't doubt your loyalty now. However, I still have some doubts about whether you can still have a fair heart, a career ideal heart, and a caring heart for the people below. On this boundless continent, the grade is a great realm higher, even if the qi refining is for ordinary inner martial artists, it seems to have a status beyond that of grandparents or masters, many concepts have been formed for a long time, but I hope you can overcome them. Don't regard the people in the inferior realm as your own slaves, but as juniors and relatives who are not very different from yourself, can you do it?"

The three girls nodded at first, but in the end they could only say bluntly: "We... Will try to do it ... This at least shows one problem: there is no inner activity to hide in front of Zhang Fan, and the things that have been gradually understood by several women.

Zhang Fan then summoned a total of more than 7,000 disciples who were mainly seven or eight grades of the inner gate, as well as more than 100 qi refining cultivators and several high-level foundation building monks to enter the Qiankun Shield illusion realm to cultivate, and after supplementing many true martial arts sects and even the West Sea Continent and other places that were quite reliable, and carefully eliminated some people in the illusion test, they finally formed nine hundred eight-person squads and fifty two-person squads, and drove a unique machine to fight in the virtual illusion world. And Zhang Fan also took advantage of this time to start a round of processing and manufacturing through a lot of hunting against demon beasts during the previous big war, as well as a lot of hunting for demon beasts during the interval of the parade. The goal, of course, is to build 900 "ground combat platforms" and 50 "aviation combat platforms"

From the very beginning, when selecting these disciples with "political reliability" as the primary criterion, Zhang Fan had already made up his mind. With the monks and disciples of the Luoyun Mountain Chamber of Commerce, plus some cronies in the weaker West Sea Continent, if they have something to do in the future, even if these people are promoted by several grades, they can be called "powerless" in the face of some real threats. If you fight with yourself, it's like a drag bottle, because it's too weak. Any fifth-order demon beast or Jindan peak powerhouse could sweep across a radius of millions of miles like the last time.

If you want to change this situation, it is definitely not possible to expect these people's own combat strength to grow, even with the help of the Qiankun Shield, because in this place where the resources in the western part of the Boundless Continent are very poor, even if there is enough time, there is no sufficient resource condition for these monks to increase their strength to the point of being useful to themselves in the short term.

The only way is to use the Divine Thunder Cannon and some monster materials to create "Earth Tanks" and "Earth Planes", and build a "Mechanized Army" with mechanical strength
