Li Yunjing prepares to travel to the Southern Heaven Continent for alliance preparations, accompanied by Liao Wanqing. As his "Celestial Patrol Ship" departs, it is intercepted by the "Shenxiao Battleship." To Li Yunjing's surprise, the ship belongs to Master of Fiery Fire, who is shocked to discover Li Yunjing possesses the "Thunder Dragon Token," "Black Tortoise Order," and "White Tiger Order."

"Hehe!"

Li Yunjing chuckled softly, grasping the "Thunder Dragon Token," and infused mana into it. Four ancient characters immediately radiated thunder light and transformed into a Thunder Dragon, spiraling behind him.

"I have broken through the Golden Core Realm, completed the sect’s trial task, and the Sect Leader has officially appointed me as the Vice Sect Leader."

Li Yunjing explained with a grin.

"You little brat!"

Master of Fiery Fire’s pupils contracted suddenly, staggering forward two steps, his eyes widened like copper bells: "No! I should address you as Vice Sect Leader Li!"

The words came to an abrupt stop. He suddenly looked at Li Yunjing’s waist and inquired, "What about the ’White Tiger Order’ and ’Black Tortoise Order’?"

Compared to the "Thunder Dragon Token," Master of Fiery Fire was clearly more concerned about the "White Tiger Order" and "Black Tortoise Order"!

Remember, in the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," there are at least a dozen Vice Sect Leaders!

But there’s only one "White Tiger Army" and "Black Tortoise Army"!

"Hehe!"

Seeing Master of Fiery Fire’s shocked expression, Li Yunjing felt great, laughingly said, "I am now the Shenxiao Dao Sect’s first Vice Sect Leader. The Sect Leader Venerable has entrusted the ’White Tiger Army’ and ’Black Tortoise Army’ to my command."

"Ancestor, you could say so!"

Li Yunjing paused and continued to laugh: "Besides being the sect’s Vice Sect Leader, I am also the head of the ’Seven Star Palace,’ ’White Tiger Hall,’ and ’Black Tortoise Hall.’

"Eh..."

Master of Fiery Fire was dumbfounded.

Master of Fiery Fire stood frozen in place, the red divine patterns on his forehead trembling violently, seemingly on the verge of disintegration.

He stared intently at the brilliant glow of the three tokens on Li Yunjing’s waist, his Adam’s apple moving up and down for a long time before squeezing out a sentence: "You... when did you..."

Before he could finish, he suddenly coughed violently, his body slightly hunched under the fiery red Daoist robe, devoid of his former commanding presence.

In terms of status, Master of Fiery Fire was already surpassed by Li Yunjing!

This made Master of Fiery Fire somewhat at a loss!

The little figure he once ordered around casually now exceeded him, what kind of feeling was this?

He had an illusion of aging, feeling anything but pleasant.

Liao Wanqing and Wen Bin silently stepped back half a step, avoiding Master of Fiery Fire’s gaze, but they secretly pondered what Li Yunjing’s other identities represent?

Could the news of being a Vice Sect Leader alone have brought such shock to Master of Fiery Fire?

At this moment, Liao Wanqing and Wen Bin suddenly realized that they perhaps did not fully understand the trajectory of Li Yunjing’s development?

"White Tiger Army, Black Tortoise Army..."

Master of Fiery Fire suddenly laughed, with a quiver in his voice, "The Sect Leader... actually entrusted the sect’s elite forces to you."

"Li... Li Vice Sect Leader."

The old man painstakingly uttered these words, bending slightly to acknowledge Li Yunjing’s supreme status.

"Please rise, Ancestor!"

Li Yunjing hastily supported him, injecting spiritual power into his palm, but Master of Fiery Fire shrugged him off with a tenth of strength.

"I never expected!"

Master of Fiery Fire’s eyes filled with self-mockery, "It seems that the sect’s leadership changeover is imminent."

Li Yunjing looked at Master of Fiery Fire’s desolate appearance, sighed softly, and gestured for everyone to leave.

When only the two of them were left on the deck, he began to slowly recount the experiences of these years.

"Good lad! I never expected your experiences to be so thrilling!"

Master of Fiery Fire’s eyes cleared of gloom, heavily patting Li Yunjing on the shoulder, "No wonder the Sect Leader entrusted the sect’s elite forces to you, such fortune and creation, even this old bones of mine acknowledge!"

He turned to look at his "Shenxiao Battleship," hesitating somewhat.

"Ancestor, do you have something to say?"

Li Yunjing laughed: "With our relationship, what’s there to hide? If Ancestor has any orders, I’ll get them done!"

"Well..."

Master of Fiery Fire scratched his reddened ear, took a while before squeezing out a sentence: "I was initially looking for your help, but now your status is different, and you have important military duties..."

He hesitated, seemingly still embarrassed to express his purpose.

"Ancestor, be straightforward!"

Li Yunjing was first stunned, then burst into laughter: "Why have things become estranged between us?"

"Then I won’t be polite!"

Master of Fiery Fire said with a flushed face and muffled voice: "Remember that Fire Flood Dragon from back then? This little critter has finally broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm, and transformed into a Fire Dragon!"

"Naturally, I can deal with it!"

"But now it’s an important figure in the ’Four Seas Commerce Association,’ seldom comes out, and I don’t dare go in to kill it!"

"Inside that ’Four Seas Commerce Association,’ there are at least three Nascent Soul Realm masters!"

Master of Fiery Fire just spoke up, decided not to hide anymore, and directly said, "I mean to have you go with me, act as bait, lure the Fire Dragon out, and I’ll lay an ambush halfway to kill this critter!"

"So it’s about this!"

Li Yunjing cursed himself for being meddlesome!

Back then, "Four Seas Commerce Association" bullied "Star Moon Trading Company," and Li Yunjing relied on Master of Fiery Fire to resolve it, but it doesn’t mean he’s willing to be bait to catch a Tier Four Fire Dragon!

What amount of gratitude would make him risk his life?

Damn it!

This old guy Master of Fiery Fire is really shrewd!

Finding him for such a task?

No wonder he was so awkward like a woman!

Li Yunjing wore a smile on his face, but inside he began to curse fiercely.

Seeing Li Yunjing’s seemingly smiling expression, Master of Fiery Fire blushed, lowered his head, knowing he was in the wrong!

If before, Li Yunjing’s status hadn’t risen, Master of Fiery Fire ordering him once wouldn’t be a big deal!

Now that he’s the "Shenxiao Dao Sect’s" first Vice Sect Leader, how could he command him anymore?

"Sigh..."

Seeing Master of Fiery Fire speechless, Li Yunjing sighed deeply.
