Chapter 187: Supreme Commander of the Warfare Department >

ready found out who was responsible for the Zheng family's affairs back then"Five years ago, she had only saved Ling Hao, but she never knew who had such a deep hatred for the Zheng family that they w..."With great honor, we welcome your esteemed presence. Please excuse our humble reception!" Ling Hao looked ahead and spoke loudly.

"Haha, King Xi you flatter me. You traveled thousands of miles to the capital city, an old man like me should go to the airport to greet you. Unfortunately, I'm busy with other matters, so I can only come here to see you. I hope King Xi doesn't mind!"

A loud voice boomed into everyone's ears, sounding like a great bell.

Before the words could fade, a figure strode confidently into view.

Over sixty years old, dressed in plain clothes, with stern features and a vigorous spirit, he doesn't look like someone in his sixties or seventies at all.

A martial artist who reaches a certain level of cultivation can break through their physical limitations. As a result, the aging process of their organs will slow down significantly, achieving another level of existence.

The higher the cultivation, the longer the lifespan.

A god-like figure, if nothing else goes wrong, could easily live to be over a hundred years old.

A warrior of the Venerable rank, without the influence of other external factors, can easily live to be one hundred and twenty or more.

A warrior-sect level expert has a lifespan of at least around one hundred and fifty or sixty years.

As for masters above the War Sect level, their lifespans are even more extraordinary. It is said that within some hidden sects, there are ancient monsters who have lived for two or three hundred years.

"See Mu Shuai!" All, including Ling Hao, bowed in respect.

Besides Ling Hao and Lu Yue, everyone else’s eyes flashed a surprise when looking at each other.

Even this big shot showed up!

Mu Yaotian, the current first person in the War Department of Daxia Kingdom, a true warrior at the level of a battle sage!

When he was young, he was also an absolutely influential figure. He once served as the commander of both the North and Central regions. During his several years in the North, he made all the countries in the northern border tremble at his name.

Even now, throughout the kingdoms of the North, the name Mu Shuai still strikes fear into their hearts.

After retreating from the Northern Border, taking charge in the Central District, this was the path that all previous number one military strategists of the Great Xia Kingdom had to take.

After several years stationed in the Zhong District, Mu Yatian was officially transferred to the capital city and appointed as the Supreme Commander of the War Department!

The Central War Department plays a major role in coordinating and supporting the four major war zones: East, South, West, and North. It has abundant resources, formidable combat strength, and ranks among the top ten assault units of the Xia Dynasty's War Department. Five of these elite units belong to the Central War Department.

Currently, in terms of overall combat strength, after the Westerlands army, the Central Region is the strongest.

"Haha, I'm just here to catch up with King Xi. You all needn't be so formal!" Mu Yantian waved his hand at the crowd.

"Mu Shuai, come in and sit!" Ling Hao made a gesture of invitation.

He had expected Mu Yaotian's arrival all along. He had previously said he was waiting for someone, and that someone was naturally Mu Yaotian!

Although he entered the capital city as the Shadow Gate Master this time, he was still the King of the West and belonged to the War Department.

If there was one person in the entire capital city who could have suited this trip to the capital, it would be Mu Yantian.

He also knew very well Mu Yitian's intentions.

First, of course, is to stand by him and tell everyone that Ling Hao belongs to the War Department. Anyone who dares to act recklessly should first ask if he agrees.

Just like the Imperial Guard, Mu Yantian was also worried that Ling Hao would unleash a massacre in the capital. So he stepped forward to appease him. After all, if Ling Hao were to act without any reservations, there would definitely be mountains of corpses and rivers of blood!

"Good!" Mu Yatian nodded in response.

Then, he turned to look at Lu Yue and smiled: "Lu Yue, not bad! In a short time, you've already reached the half-step War Sovereign realm!"

"Those who are capable should do more work. You, with such talent and handsomeness, spend all day by Xi Wang's side, it's a waste!"

Mu Yaodong's words, seemingly casual yet deliberate.

"Lu Yue responded with a smile, "Mu Shuai's praise!" A strange glint flashed in his eyes.

While Ling Hao heard Mu Yaotian's words, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

In a moment, Ling Hao and Lu Yue accompanied Mu Yatian to a guest lounge.

"I heard that people from the Department of Health have been here" After Lu Yue poured tea for the three, Mu Yantian looked at Ling Hao and asked.

"Mm!" Ling Hao smiled and nodded. "Just go!"

"What a bunch of idle people!" Mu Yantian picked up his teacup and took a sip.

"Heh heh, no problem!" Ling Hao smiled again.

"From now on, until you leave the capital city, if anyone comes to cause trouble, just tell them to find me!" Mu Yaitian said in a low voice.

"Thank you, Mu Shuai, for your kindness!" Ling Hao responded after taking a sip of tea.

"How is the West recently It should be fine, right" Mu Yatian asked, putting down his teacup.

"General Mu, please rest assured, everything is fine!" Ling Hao gave a faint smile and then looked at Mu Yantian: "General Mu, how have you been recently"

Mu Yaotian's illness has long been an open secret.

When he was young, he spent years fighting wars abroad, sustaining many internal and external injuries. Since they were not treated in time, they became chronic illnesses over time.

Ling Hao had checked Mu Yaitian's body the last time they met in Xijing. The new injuries from recent years were easy to recover, but it was too difficult to cure some old ailments that had been around for decades.

Over the past few years, Mu Yaitian has increasingly felt a sense of growing dissatisfaction. Because of this, he has actually been in a semi-retired state for the past two years.

"My body is full of old ailments, that's all there is to it!" Mu Yitian responded with a smile.

Next time if I have time, I'll take another look for Mu Shuai.

"The Western King has finally made up his mind!" Mu Yitian smiled and then changed the subject: "Western King, you should have received the news already, right"

What does "Mu Shuai" refer to

"My body is getting weaker day by day, and I'm no longer able to shoulder the heavy responsibilities. The war department plans to choose one of you five to take my place." Mu Yaotian spoke again.

"Hmm!" Ling Hao nodded in response. "I just heard about it the other day!"

"How about it, West King Any interest" Mu Yaotian looked at Ling Hao with a profound air.

"I heard that many people in the capital are optimistic about King Xi, and they have high expectations for you!"

"Mu Shuai, just say what you have to say!" Ling Hao's eyes narrowed slightly.

Mu Yaotian's bringing up this topic at this time wasn't a spur-of-the-moment thing.

The implication is already very clear.

Everything should be prioritized with the big picture in mind; don't lose sight of the bigger goals because of small matters!

At this critical juncture, when a new supreme commander is about to be appointed, if Ling Hao causes too much commotion in the capital city, he will naturally lose points.

"I know the purpose of your trip to the capital this time!" Mu Yaitian raised his teacup again.

In my opinion, if we can successfully capture the wanted criminal "sss" from Yingmen, we can put other matters aside for now. What do you think, King Xi

"Thank you for your kindness, Mu Shuai!" Ling Hao smiled faintly.

Three years ago, in that major case, besides Heigong, the leader of Yǐngmén and four other patrol commissioners were all victims, which was considered the most tragic incident in the history of Yǐngmén.

"This responsibility isn't something a mere sss-class fugitive can handle, is it"

"I understand!" Mu Yantian nodded slightly.

Everything has its priority, and some things can't be done in a day or two.

"Mu Shuai, I have a question for you," Ling Hao interrupted.

"If, today, it was Musa in my position, what would you do"egin to take Ling Hao and the other seriously, his right eyelid twitching inexplicably several times."Surprised" Ling Hao looked at Zhao Yuehua and said lightly, "Now do you regret not cherishing the...
