The hall is full of people at this moment, there are flag masters, there are also north border guards, they buried the bodies of the seven flag owners in the afternoon, and then they all returned to the main hall, everyone is waiting without saying a word, although no one clearly told them that they must come here, but in everyone's hearts there is an inexplicable obsession, that is, this matter is not over, and Xi Chen will return here sooner or later to preside over the overall situation!

The bursts of 'clang' sound from the burning candle flame mixed with the sonorous and powerful heartbeat of everyone in the hall, played the most shocking note of the Northern Xinjiang Hall at the moment. The roar of grief, the mournful cry, the irrepressible whimper, everything had been depressed at this moment, perhaps these red-eyed northern border guards had already dried their tears, and now all that was left was monstrous killing intent and endless anger.

"Whew!" Suddenly, a faint breathing sound suddenly sounded from the temple door, and before everyone in the hall could turn their heads to investigate, they saw an illusory figure quickly passing in front of everyone, and then in the blink of an eye, it appeared on the main seat of the high platform.

Xi Chen, sure enough, is back!

No one knows where Xi Chen went all afternoon, and no one knows what he did? Everyone only knows that Xi Chen, who returned to the main hall again, has completely faded away from the haze of the day, and his eyes have all regained his former composure and indifference.

"Ahem...... "Everyone in the hall, you look at me, I look at you, and no one dares to make a sound, after all, it was Hu Lao who took the lead in clearing his throat, and then slowly opened his mouth and said, "Dudu, we have arranged the future affairs of the seven banner masters!"

"En!" Xi Chen, who was half-leaning on the elephant chair, agreed casually, and then his gaze slowly swept over everyone present, especially when he saw Lu Yifan and Lan Chen, his gaze became a little inexplicably deep.

Under Xi Chen's gaze, Lu Yifan and Lan Chen both felt a little uncomfortable, and without waiting for Lan Chen to open his mouth to question, Lu Yifan took the first step and said: "Dudu, the death of the seven banner masters is not accidental, in my opinion, this matter is directly aimed at my border guard mansion." I am willing to take the initiative to ask Ying to go north, and I will investigate this matter thoroughly to the end!"

"Yifan ......" As soon as Lu Yifan's words came out, Ji Yuan and Xie Yun's faces changed almost at the same time, although they hadn't figured out what was going on, but the opponent who could kill the seven banner masters together must be extremely powerful and terrifying. You must know the banner master of the Border Guard Mansion, which one's cultivation is not in the realm of the Soul King? The Soul King still died so tragically, not to mention Lu Yifan, a small soul. Some people were surprised, and some people were as calm as ever, one of them was Liu Sandao, who was fearless of everything, and the other was Ji Yier, who was not good at smiling.

"There's no need to check!" Qin Bao's eyes radiated a grim light, "The northern border guards who fled back have already said that it was the strong man of the beast clan who did it!"

"Beast Clan powerhouse?" Lu Yifan couldn't help frowning, "The seven banner masters have already cultivated to a high level, plus they have a large number of northern border guards under their command, what kind of beast domain powerhouse has such a terrifying ability?"

"It's not just one person who killed the seven banner masters!" Hu Lao sighed helplessly, "I have examined the wounds of the seven of them, and each of them has a different fatal injury, which shows that they are facing completely different opponents!"

"You mean that a large number of beast powerhouses have poured into the Holy Domain now?" Lan Chen asked in a solemn tone, "How is this possible?"

"How is this impossible?" Qin Bao sneered, there seemed to be a hint of disdain in his smile, which made Lan Chen couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, he really couldn't understand why Qin Bao was targeting him everywhere, "Can the beast clan powerhouse break into the realm of the holy realm, the first line of defense is our border guard mansion, and now that they have killed seven banner masters and injured countless northern border guards, it is enough to see that this move of the beast clan is imperative, not a small fight!"

"But ......"

"Shut your mouth for me!" Without waiting for Lan Chen to ask again, Xi Chen, who had never opened his mouth, suddenly let out a cold snort, and instantly dragged the entire hall back to the previous dead silence, Xi Chen's eyes swept over everyone in the hall faintly, and only after a moment did he slowly open his mouth and say, "Although we don't know the real purpose of the Beast Domain's move yet, it is an indisputable fact that they are coming for our Border Guard Mansion!" The Border Guard Mansion was ordered by the emperor to guard the northern frontier of the Holy Domain, so there must be no negligence, and now Yu Gong wants to kill this group of uninvited guests who broke into the Holy Domain, and we also have to avenge the seven banner masters who died. Therefore, whether it is for public or private purposes, for this group of people who have violated my holy realm, there is no mercy but to kill!"

"Kill, kill, kill!" Xi Chen's words even detonated the anger of everyone in the hall, and the sound of killing shook the sky for a while, and he couldn't wait to break through the roof.

"It's okay to want revenge, but you must not act blindly!" Xi Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he continued, "The seven banner masters were killed one by one, and if the seven of them could get together in time at that time, maybe the result would be very different!"

"What do you mean by Dudu......" Tan Si asked with a frown.

"I mean you should never forget your identity!" Xi Chen said loudly, "You are not a knight who single-handedly conquers the world, but a disciplined northern border guard!

"Yes!" the crowd replied in unison.

"Governor of Qiqi!" Hu Lao had finished speaking, so he hurriedly reminded him, "Now more than half of the thirteen banner masters of my Border Guard Mansion have been killed and wounded, and the northern border guards have also suffered heavy losses! The manpower of the entire Border Guard Mansion is even more precarious, do you want to send someone to the camp to find General Chu Lingtian for help......

"Hmph!" Without waiting for Hu Lao's words to finish, Xi Chen suddenly snorted coldly, and then he looked at Hu Lao with a sneer, and asked faintly, "Hu Lao, do you think he Chu Lingtian will send troops to reinforce us?"

"We might as well give it a try......"

"No need!" Without waiting for Hu Lao to persuade again, Xi Chen waved his hand abruptly, and then said in a cold voice, "Not to mention that the border guard camp is not subordinate to the border guard mansion, and we have no right to mobilize a single soldier in the big battalion! Just saying that my border guard mansion will never admit to being defeated! If someone can escape back with the corpse, it means that the number of opponents is not as large as we imagined, since the number of opponents is not large, then my border guard mansion is enough to deal with them! If I can't even handle this little thing well, then I, Xi Chen, don't have to be the governor!"

"What the Governor said is extremely true! It's old and confused! He almost insulted the prestige of the Border Guard Mansion, and he really deserves death!" After hearing Xi Chen's words, Hu Lao couldn't help but pat his head again and again.

"Okay! But you also reminded me that now that the seven flag masters have died in battle, there is indeed a shortage of manpower in the border guard mansion! Now that it is the time to employ people, with only the six of you, I am afraid that it will be difficult to balance the stability of the entire northern Xinjiang!" Xi Chen thoughtfully rubbed his chin with his fingers, and then a pair of dark eyes quietly stared at Lu Yifan and Lan Chen, and after a moment of hesitation, he slowly spoke, "Lu Yifan, Lan Chen, the two of you are far above the other northern border guards in terms of fame and cultivation, and you can be regarded as the best in the border guard mansion, and at the same time, you are the descendants of Wending Gong and Zhenbei Gong, so there is naturally no lack of momentum from the top of the body. I think it's better to promote the two of you as the new banner masters today and help the other six flag masters share the patrol tasks in the various regions of the northern frontier, do you think?"

"This ......" Hearing Xi Chen's words, Lu Yifan and Lan Chen hesitated, especially Lan Chen, who didn't think it was a good thing to be promoted at this time.

"Tan Si, what do you say?" Xi Chen turned his gaze to Tan Si, who was surprised, and asked lightly, "The two of them have been following you for the past two months, do you think they are qualified to be promoted to the banner master?"

"Back to the governor, the two sons followed Tan Si, I was originally Qu Cai, and now the governor is willing to take this opportunity to promote them, Tan Si is naturally very supportive!"

"Governor, I have never had such a thing in the Border Guard Mansion for so many years! They have only been in the palace for two months, and now they have been promoted to become the banner master, I am afraid that they will ...... I'm afraid that the other brothers in the mansion will not be convinced!" Qin Bao retorted anxiously, "Even if the two of them are promoted as banner masters today, then I don't think there will be any northern border guards willing to follow them, in the end, they are still alone, with the name of the banner master, and without the real power of the banner master, what's the use?"

"Who said no?" Xi Chen sneered and waved his hand, and then pointed to Liu Sandao and Hai Lao and the others who were standing behind Lu Yifan and Lan Chen, "Aren't they people? I think they are not only people, but they are also all masters of one by one, and they are definitely stronger than those northern border guards under you!"

"I ......"

"I've made up my mind, you don't have to say it!" Xi Chen's face suddenly straightened, and he announced in a voice of intolerance and questioning, "Now that the Border Guard Mansion is on the occasion of employing people, as for whether they have the qualifications to become the banner master, then let them slowly prove their strength in the future! Now, Lu Yifan and Lan Chen obey orders!"

"Here!" Although Lu Yifan and Lan Chen were quite surprised in their hearts, out of awe of Xi Chen, they still suddenly straightened their bodies and stood there in unison looking at Xi Chen solemnly.

"From now on, the two of you will be the new eighth and ninth banner masters of my Border Guard Mansion! And those subordinates who came with you will be counted under your command for the time being!" Xi Chen announced loudly, "Remember, as the banner master of my Border Guard Mansion, don't insult the prestige of my Border Guard Mansion! Be loyal to the Emperor and guard the Holy Domain! If you are not of my race, your heart will be punished! In my Border Guard Mansion, there are only heroes who stand and die, and there are absolutely no cowards who live on their knees!" If you do anything to humiliate the Border Guard Mansion in the future, then the Pontus Governor will be the first to kill you!

"Yes! Loyal to the Emperor, guarding the Holy Domain! If it is not my race, its heart will be punished!" Lu Yifan and Lan Chen replied in unison.

In this way, in the main hall of the Northern Frontier at night, when the Border Guard Mansion was in danger, in full view of the six flag masters and hundreds of northern border guards, Lu Yifan and Lan Chen were officially promoted to flag masters by Xi Chen!

"Governor, what are the two of them responsible for?" Hu Lao didn't have a too peculiar reaction to this, but asked about the specific tasks of Lu Yifan and Lan Chen calmly, "Now that the situation in the Border Guard Mansion is tense, we just discussed whether to temporarily cancel the patrol of Dingbei Town, and put all the manpower into the strict investigation of the border area?"

"You're right!" Xi Chen took a deep breath, then nodded and said, "There is a Governor of Pontus here, and it is expected that these beasts will not dare to do anything here......!"

"Dudu!" At this moment, Lu Yifan suddenly said in a loud voice, "Zhuo Wolf Grassland is located in the extreme north, adjacent to the Wanli Ice Field, and I am willing to take people to inspect there!" As soon as Lu Yifan said this, Ji Yuan's body trembled suddenly, and then when he looked at Lu Yifan, a strong touch of emotion suddenly appeared in his eyes. Only he knew why Lu Yifan made such a request, because Lu Yifan had promised himself that he would return to the Zhuo Wolf Grassland with him to find out what was the difficulty of the Zhuo Wolf Grassland back then!

"No!" However, before Xi Chen could open his mouth, Hu Lao was the first to object, "Don't! Zhuo Wolf Grassland is the most dangerous place in the entire northern Xinjiang, in the past, the three banner masters of Lao San, Ma Huzi, and Cheng Yong took nearly 400 northern border guards to inspect the Zhuo Wolf Grassland, but in the end, they still encountered an accident, how could they let Lu Banner Master and a newcomer go to such a danger?"

"Old Hu, are you worried about my father's identity? If that's the case, then don't worry!" Lu Yifan said righteously, "Now that I am the banner master of the Border Guard Mansion, then I should share weal and woe with the other brothers of the Border Guard Mansion, how can I watch other brothers being born and dying, while I am hiding comfortably elsewhere?"

Xi Chen listened to Lu Yifan's words quietly, and a touch of appreciation flashed inadvertently in his eyes, but this look disappeared faster, Xi Chen is a person who never appreciates others, even if he has a different opinion of Lu Yifan in his heart now, he insists on refusing to express it.

"No one here regards you as a master!" Xi Chen said lightly, "What Elder Hu said is not that he is worried about whether you will die, but that he is worried that with your ability, he will not be able to defend that important territory, and sooner or later he will ruin the major affairs of the Border Guard Mansion, and even the border defense of the entire Holy Domain!"

"But I ......"

"Then I'll go with him! This way the border defense will always be a little more certain, right?" Just when Lu Yifan was a little anxious, Lan Chen suddenly spoke, and he unexpectedly wanted to share the same taste with Lu Yifan, which surprised everyone in the audience, especially Hai Lao, who was standing behind Lan Chen, at this moment, there was a light in his eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and at the same time, a faint worry suddenly appeared in Hai Lao's heart.

"Lan Chen!" Lu Yifan turned his head and stared at Lan Chen with a torch in his eyes, not knowing what to say for a long time.

"Don't look at me like that!I'm not helping you, I just don't want to see you in the limelight alone!" Lan Chen still had a cold attitude, and his tone was arrogant and arrogant, "You Lu Yifan dare to go to that kind of dangerous place, I, Lan Chen, am not afraid of those evil animals in the beast domain!"

"Okay!" Xi Chen's eyes moved vaguely, and then he happily agreed, "It is worthy of the banner master I personally promoted, and the governor of Pontus really did not misunderstand you! And whether you have that ability or not, just with your courage, the governor of Po......ntus will also give you a chance!"

"Du Du ......" Old Hu's face changed suddenly, although he didn't admit Lu Yifan's words just now, but in fact, what he was worried about was the delicate status of Lu Yifan and Lan Chen.

"It's okay! these two banner masters will never be fine!" Xi Chen said meaningfully, that is, he turned his eyes, and his eyes looked directly at Liu Sandao and Hai Lao behind them, "Do you say?"

Neither Liu Sandao nor Hai Lao answered Xi Chen's words, but Xi Chen insisted on deciding the matter. As for Hu Lao and the others, they naturally couldn't refute Xi Chen's orders, so they could only obey orders!

"Hu Lao, Tan Si, Qin Bao!" Xi Chen continued to instruct, "The three of you go and take over the territory of the other four dead banner masters, I don't care how you divide it, in short, there will be no more mistakes!"

"Obey!" Hu Lao and the three of them said in unison.

"Okay! You are the same as Lu Yifan and Lan Chen, and you will each be on your own early tomorrow morning! As for the dozens of surviving northern border guards under the seven banner masters, let's put them under Lu Yifan's command for the time being!" Xi Chen said and deliberately glanced at Lu Yifan, but it is not difficult for careful people to find that when Xi Chen divided these northern border guards under Lu Yifan, he did not mention Lan Chen, and the deep meaning of this is only intriguing enough for a while.

After Xi Chen said that, he slowly stood up, looked down at the people in the hall, and said word by word, "Remember, you are all men of my border guard mansion, and you must be fearless at all times! From today onwards, you will no longer simply patrol, but you will go all out to hunt down those beasts who trespass on the Holy Realm, change from passive to active, and kill them once you encounter them! All banner owners should take care of each other, and once they hear any trouble, they will rush over to besiege and kill their opponents as soon as possible!" This is the northern frontier, and we are the border guard house, so we have no way to retreat, but to fight to the death! If we retreat, then the holy realm will suffer a great disaster! The Pontus Governor will not allow the disaster of the Zhuo Wolf Grassland to appear again, the dead are not terrible, what is terrible is that you are frightened by the dead! No matter how strong the strong of the beast clan is, they are flesh and blood, and never forget that you also have knives in your hands!"

"Kill, kill, kill!" A roar sounded again from the main hall of the northern frontier, and the roar shook the sky and rushed straight to the sky, echoing in the sky above the northern frontier, and could not be dispersed for a long time!
