Chapter 1217: Fourth Grand Commander Li Luo
In the field, Li Luo was looking at the beaming male who had just given up his position. For a moment, he did not know how to react. He had assumed that he would encounter some obstacles after arriving and was even prepared for an arduous battle today.
After all, in the Green Nether Banner, he had to establish his dominance through violence to intimidate the rest and consolidate his power.
But someone had just directly given up his position in the Dragon's Fang Guardians?
Things were progressing so smoothly, he wondered if there was a plot abound. Perhaps he was looking to retreat only to take advantage of the situation before advancing yet again?
When faced with Li Luo's surprise, the man couldn't help but smile. He took two steps forward and explained, "My name is Li Jian, and I'm the Dragon's Fang Guardians' Fourth Grand Commander. I'm a lower first-grade Duke. There is no need to feel confused over this, Dragon's Head Li Luo. The Dragon's Fang Guardians may prize strength over everything, but we also recognize one's contributions and achievements. We have not underestimated your importance in leading the Green Nether Banner into becoming the leader amongst the Twenty Banners. After all, the only other person who had managed such a feat was your father, Li Taixuan.
"When news of you becoming the Dragon's Head reached our ears, everyone was ecstatic. They felt that they could see the shadow of your father within you. During his time, Li Taixuan elevated the guardians to their most glorious era, having managed to win over four of the five mythic armaments. He was like an unstoppable force that struck awe in everyone. Under his guidance, the Dragon's Fang Guardians were the leaders of the Five Guardian Armies. Every Guardian General after him has looked up to him. Unfortunately, our strength was not up to par, and our generation is a little too weak; our Light and Dark Spear was lost to the Dragon's Blood Guardians. Thus, you represent a beam of hope for us, so we don't mind helping you out. If you feel that the position of the Fourth Grand Commander is not too low, then please take it."
Li Luo finally understood. It seemed that his reputation had preceded him and it was because of what he had achieved in the Twenty Banners.
It seemed that Li Jian and the others in front of him were acting kindly because they also saw it as a form of investment.
To that, Li Luo could only say that the Dragon's Fang Guardians truly lived up to their reputation. Their sights lay much further into the future when compared to those in the Twenty Banners, and it was no surprise they had managed to become Dukes.

"Thank you, Elder Brother Li Jian." Li Luo sighed in his heart. Li Jian represented the goodwill of the Dragon's Fang Guardians towards him, and he would naturally not reject it. Now that he had been able to achieve his goal effortlessly, he knew that he would have to fight even harder on behalf of them in future.
Alas, this group was still unaware that if they wished to pin their hopes on someone, perhaps Jiang Qing'e would have been the better option.
After all, no matter how one looked at it, embarking on the Path of Ascension meant that she possessed even more shocking talent.
Unfortunately, Li Jian did not know all this, instead smiling as he stretched his hand out to shake Li Luo's hand. He then pushed him on to the Fourth Grand Commander's seat.
It was at this point that the other three Grand Commanders looked at him, nodding in assent.
This was a position just second to Li Foluo.
Both of them were veterans of countless battles with numerous achievements and undeniable strength. There was no chance one of them would give up their position solely because Jiang Qing'e was Li Luo's fiancee.
Even though Jiang Qing'e had a Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried, she was still a first-grade Duke, so things would not be as simple.
Thinking about this, Li Foluo turned towards Jiang Qing'e.
Jiang Qing'e, on the other hand, remained unfazed and took a step forward, attracting the eyes of everyone in the field. A hint of amazement could be seen in the eyes of everyone.
Her looks impressed most of the Dragon's Fang Guardians, causing their eyes to light up in delight. After all, a girl with such temperament and beauty was rarely seen.
But she was so outstanding that the numerous members only dared to stealthily size her up.
As she had taken the initiative to step up, the rest could finally observe her in peace.
At the same time, Li Foluo's voice rang out.
"Jiang Qing'e, as per the Lineage Chief's special approval, you have one opportunity to battle someone for their title. I hope you will take advantage of this and not waste it."
Jiang Qing'e took in Li Foluo's final reminder but did not pay much attention to it. Instead, she turned to face the two stone seats directly under his.
At the same time, her calm voice rang out.
"I choose to battle for the position of Dragon Fang Envoy." Li Foluo closed his eyes as the entire field erupted into shouts, helplessly sighing.
These unrivaled geniuses were simply too wild and out of control.
It seemed they would have to be beaten down before they were willing to listen!
