Commanding Wind and Cloud

The cheerful atmosphere that was welcoming Qian Jin back to the city suddenly became dense and solemn.

Marc Gavin didn’t keep Fabreidis and the coffin in his warrior dimension. Instead, he placed the heavy coffin on his shoulder, quietly accepting everyone’s stare.

“Young man…” Cheng Bupeng broke the silence, and he said, “You want to say that you will collide with Qian Family, right? I’m the president of the Central Blacksmith Union. I heard about your abilities from Yunxing Huisheng. I only want to tell you that I’m a blacksmith, and my eyes can only see the talented blacksmiths.”

“Qian Zhanxuan? Bloodline warrior?” Cheng Bupeng laughed and said, “They are only tools that can showcase the power of the weapons that I forge. As a blacksmith, I only help other blacksmiths and ignore reason. As a blacksmith, my favorite is iron. What you said made me feel your iron-like personality, which is also my favorite. Therefore, I hope that you won’t push back the seat of the president of the Central Blacksmith Union.”

“All of us blacksmiths support Master Qian Jin.” Suddenly, someone shouted in the formation of blacksmiths, and others followed suit and shouted as well. The sound waves dashed into the sky and showcased these people’s simple and rough character.

“Pharmacist Union! Pharmacist Union! Pharmacist Union!”

“Runemaster Union! Runemaster Union…”

“Mystic Pharmacist Union…”

“Warrior Union, Warrior Union…”

The people in the several formations shouted and roared, and the powerful soundwaves almost sent people flying.

The presidents of the central unions looked at each other and smiled. It seemed like if they didn’t pass their positions to Qian Jin, the members were going to nominate Qian Jin instead.

That is right! Everyone had the bravery and was competitive. However, under the suppression of bloodline warriors, normal people like them almost completely lost their character. However, Gomez Jane’s blades instantly trigger them and woke them up. Were they inferior to a woman?

Qian Jin’s words further ignited these people’s bravery and competitiveness. Everyone started to support Qian Jin, this young man who was an ordinary warrior without bloodline power.

It was because they were all ordinary people; they were from the same camp.

Pam Honzi closed his eyes and sighed in his mind, “Qian Zhanxuan! Bloodline warriors are the most powerful existences, but you can never forget that ordinary warriors are the foundation of this society. Perhaps they might be timid, selfish, and weak, they are a large group of people. Even though their individual strength isn’t high, if they truly unite, their combined strength can overturn the stars! Now, these people who had been suppressed and silenced started to wake up. These people are only a small portion. However, the ordinary people in this entire city might be moved tomorrow, and the ordinary people in this state and this nation…”

Pam Honzi turned around and looked in the direction of the demons, and he sighed in his mind again. “Perhaps when Qian Jin’s words get passed to the demons, the ordinary demons who are living in the bottom of their society will also unite and showcase their strength. These groups of ordinary beings are timid and silent since they lacked a representative. Once they find their leader…” Pam Honzi didn’t know how many times he shook his head and sighed for Qian Jin. “This Qian Zhanxuan’s over-confidence and stubbornness created the leader of a new force without him noticing.”

“I announce that from today onward, Qian Jin will be the president of the Central Pharmacist Union of Zence!”

As people cheered and shouted, the president of the Central Runemaster Union also announced his decision.

One after another, the leadership positions were centralized into the hands of a young man. Normally, when each of the leadership positions shifted, the attention of the entire Zence Empire would be attracted. However, it happened in a short time today, pushing this young ordinary warrior who looked powerless to the pinnacle of the power circle.

York Leigh looked at Qian Jin with bitterness. This young man before him looked no different compared to when they last met, yet this young ordinary warrior’s identity greatly changed. In the beginning, this young man wasn’t as powerful as him. Then, this young man was on par with him. Now… even he had to look up to this young man!

“Snake Emperor sure is an excellent strategy master,” York Leigh lamented and thought. “But this young man is truly terrifying. Without enough strength and accumulation, even Snake Emperor can’t create a miracle out of nowhere.”

The forces that were spectating started to change their minds. Now, Qian Jin wasn’t only the leader of a few forces in Yulee City. In a short time, he soared into the sky and became the leader of four forces on the national level.

Without needing the recognition and rewards from the emperor and the approval of the ministers, Qian Jin entered the top-tier power circle with his own strength in a dominating fashion.

“How will this young man develop in the future?”

I need to get close to Qian Jin. I’m also an ordinary warrior who doesn’t have bloodline power. This man represents us! I should give him my support!” A young man who came here on behalf of his family leader clenched his fist and murmured something to himself.

Quite a few people heard his words, and their expressions started to change. The young man in front of them was an ordinary warrior just like them. If they weren’t going to support this man, who were they going to support?

Without needing to talk and discuss, these ordinary warriors gradually formed a consensus subconsciously.

“Challenge Qian Zhanxuan? Kid, you are too arrogant! Who do you think you are?”

Standing in the crowd, Thunder Lion King Linguan Skylan looked at Fabreidis’ coffin and sneered. Then, he glanced at Qian Jin and walked toward the direction of Punitive Expedition Academy while murmuring, “Since Fabreidis died, I won’t battle you today. However, as soon as the funeral is over, I, Linguan Skylan, will come and find you. I will use your defeat to tell Izabella that I’m the only one who could suit her.”

“Ordinary warriors? They can only lie on the ground and looked up and serve powerful bloodline warriors. That is their honor.”

Everyone knew that this wasn’t the time to chitchat and get close to Qian Jin. They all moved out of the way silently and created a path into the city.

This night, Qian Jin embraced Gomez Jane and went to bed together.

There were many kinds of funerals, and funerals could be held in many grand ways.

Fabreidis’ funeral wasn’t grand, but it was comparable to the funeral of an emperor.

In the two days when the Mourning Hall was open to the public, countless forces rushed over from all areas.

The top-ten bloodline families almost all send their elders to come and pay respect, and Ares Blood Family, Tri-Head Golden Dragon Bloodline Family, and the most mysterious Blood Palace that was a holy land where only the elites of the elite bloodline warriors could train at sent over mourning flowers.

Besides, a huge number of ordinary warriors swarmed toward Yulee City from all over the empire.

In the two short days, the people who came to Yulee City to pay respect to Fabreidis could form a large expedition troop to attack the demons.

One of the [Three Heroes of Warrior Hall], the representation of the pinnacle of ordinary warriors, and the no.1 ordinary warrior who became a saint, Fabreidis was the idol to numerous ordinary warriors without a doubt.

Many ordinary warriors were still on their way, and they didn’t get the opportunity to pay their respects on time and participate in the funeral.

Qian Jin stared at the moist yellow soil as Fabreidis’ coffin was slowly lowered into the ground. The soil could bury the coffin, but it could never bury the memories.

“Qian Jin, people from Warrior Hall are here.” Marc Gavin walked in the front and introduced a haughty-looking, white-haired old man behind him to Qian Jin, “He is Ling Donglai.”

“You are Qian Jin?” Ling Donglai’s tone was filled with arrogance.

Qian Jin frowned and didn’t know what Ling Donglai’s intention was. Everyone knew that he could forge soul weapons, helping ordinary warriors become saints. Perhaps bloodline warriors might not like him, but all the ordinary warriors who he met so far were extremely respectful toward him.

Otherwise, Yulee City wouldn’t be visited by so many ordinary warriors who had pinnacle golden warrior hearts and peak warrior souls.

Even if ordinary warriors respected Fabreidis, not all of them would travel this far for a dead person.

When people pay respect to the dead, a part of the reason was for the dead, but they mostly decided on coming or not based on the value of the living relatives.

Warrior Hall was the holy place to many ordinary warriors. Therefore, Qian Jin didn’t know if Ling Donglai was truly arrogant or just testing him.

“I’m Qian Jin.”

“I heard that you are one of the most talented ordinary warriors,” Ling Donglai said arrogantly as he glanced at Qian Jin, “I’m here to tell you two things. First, you are qualified to enter Warrior Hall. You can find the time and come to Warrior Hall. We can help you get even stronger, just a little inferior to saint warriors.”

Qian Jin listened patiently. In most cases, the second thing was more important than the first thing.

He thought, “Trying to get me to join Warrior Hall isn’t the most important matter?”

“The second thing is,” Ling Donglai suddenly coughed and said, “You should find a time and pull back your speech about fighting against Qian Family.”

“What?” Qian Jin’s eyes opened wide as he stared at Ling Donglai. “What did you just say?”

Displeasure appeared on Ling Donglai’s face, and he thought, “This kid dares to interrupt me? In the empire, most ordinary warriors would kneel after hearing the name ‘Warrior Hall.’ Even if this kid can forge soul weapons, he is too arrogant before a messenger of Warrior Hall. He only used the most common greeting between warriors; he is just as annoying as Fabreidis! It is a good thing now that Fabreidis is dead!”

Ling Donglai sneered and thought, “The shame that this guy brought to me in Warrior Hall won’t disappear with his death. I’m going to turn your son-in-law into a dog that obeys all my commands!”

“I need you to retract what you said about Qian Family.” Ling Donglai put more emphasis on his tone, and he said, “You should clearly realize that we ordinary warriors are only complementary to bloodline warriors, and we are their supports. We exist to help the bloodline warriors to defeat the demons easier.”

“Support?” Qian Jin looked at Ling Donglai in surprise, and he thought, “Is this man really an envoy from the holy place in every ordinary warrior’s mind? Isn’t Warrior Hall formed for the sole purpose of defeating bloodline warriors? Aren’t bloodline warriors and ordinary warriors partners and are supposed to coordinate with each other? How come in the words of this messenger of Warrior Hall, ordinary warriors are only supports to bloodline warriors and inferior? Without those ordinary warriors who create battle plans, venture deep into the enemy territory for intelligence, and battle to the death, this war perhaps would have ended a long time ago.”
