Chapter 1101 - 328: [Inner City] (2)

The Ghost Race samurai finally raised his head: "Reporting to the Sword Master, I am Zhan Xi, the chief samurai of Black Rock Hall in the Inner City, holding the position of head of Inner City defense, responsible for guarding the Inner City."

East Sea nodded and said loudly: "From the Black Wood Tribe elders to subordinates of nine people from Mu Zhou, they disrespected the ancestors and rebelled against the Ghost Race, and now have all been executed. From this moment on, I proclaim the Black Wood Tribe, and the Black Wood Tribe takes me as the authority!"

Upon hearing the words "have all been executed," Zhan Xi’s body shook violently, and he raised his head, the muscles on his cheeks trembling slightly.

Nine tribe elders, just like that, were killed?!

However, seeing the cold gaze from East Sea, Zhan Xi immediately shivered and quickly lowered his head, loudly declaring: "Zhan Xi and the Inner City defense samurai, are willing to respect the Sword Master!"

"Not to respect me, but to respect the ancestor." East Sea’s tone softened slightly, and he said slowly, "Hmm, your name is Zhan Xi? What is your relationship with Zhan Li?"

"Zhan Li is my daughter."

East Sea looked at this Zhan Xi for a moment, revealing a strange smile on his face: "So you are the Cave Maiden’s biological father, truly remarkable.

From now on, I appoint you as the temporary Chief Inspector of Black Wood Tribe. You only need to report to me, no one else has the authority to inquire about your affairs. This includes your Cave Maiden daughter, understood?"

Zhan Xi’s body trembled, and a gleam of brilliance suddenly burst forth in his eyes.

Chief Inspector!

Actually, there is no such position within the Black Wood Tribe, but since this Lord Sword Master appointed me on the spot, by definition, as Chief Inspector... I can inspect everything in Black Wood Tribe...

This power is no small thing!

Previously, Zhan Xi only served as an Inner Hall samurai in Black Rock Hall within the Black Wood Tribe—indeed, within the Ghost Race, those with good talent usually pursued the path of a Ghost Race cultivator.

Zhan Xi, because his talent was not considered top-notch, was not even eligible to participate in the Heaven-Crashing Ceremony in his youth.

Fortunately, because of his remarkable natural physique, he pursued the path of a Body Cultivator, practicing body techniques, martial arts, and combat techniques.

People like him are considered a good path within the Ghost Race, after all, cultivation methods for the Ghost Race are limited, and the majority of Ghost Race people have no chance to become cultivators.

There are also many similar to Zhan Xi, who can only follow the samurai path—in name samurai, actually serving as the armed forces and soldiers within the Ghost Race tribes.

Whenever conflicts or wars occur between tribes, or when the Ghost Race engages in warfare with the Demon Race, body cultivators who follow the samurai path like Zhan Xi must bleed and fight for their tribe.

Even when cultivators fight fiercely among themselves, after determining the victor, matters like occupying territory and maintaining order aren’t something a few cultivators can manage, relying on many Ghost Race samurai like Zhan Xi to accomplish.

Zhan Xi, with his seniority, walked the body cultivation path quite successfully—although body cultivation practices do not have much lineage within the Ghost Race, and even the body cultivation methods obtained by the Ghost Race are hard to call upper grade.

Yet Zhan Xi still became a senior samurai in Black Rock Hall of the Inner City within the Black Wood Tribe, the core of samurai training in Black Wood Tribe, receiving generous tribal tributions.

Especially since his daughter Zhan Li, after being found to have top talent in her childhood, smoothly became a cultivator, and was later accepted as a disciple by Black Wood Tribe’s Yama and Ghost Race’s leader Luo Xiuqing. Zhan Xi rather benefited through his daughter, becoming the head samurai within Black Wood Tribe.

Actually, he was even considered the number one figure in Black Wood Tribe’s military forces.

But the Domain Realm is a world of cultivators, cultivators are the primary force, so-called soldiers, especially within the Black Wood Tribe’s Ghost Race territory, most of the soldiers and samurai are actually mere mortals, just practicing some body strengthening martial arts and combat techniques, or some are lucky enough to obtain some body cultivation lineage, but usually achieve limited success in cultivation.

So, the so-called number one figure in Black Wood Tribe’s military, actually does not hold as high a status within the tribe as imagined—otherwise, he would have had the title of a tribe elder.

But because he has a good daughter who became a Cave Maiden and has been heavily promoted as a talented figure among the young generation in the Ghost Race in recent years, Zhan Xi is considered to have a transcendent status within Black Wood Tribe.

However, as a dignified man himself going through ascetic cultivation for his entire life, but ultimately relying on his daughter’s name to gain status, he has always been internally depressed.

At this moment, East Sea’s appointment also specially instructs him that he only needs to report to East Sea himself, and even Zhan Li cannot inquire!

Zhan Xi instantly felt a surge of warmth in his heart!

This is the first time in decades that he gained power not because of his daughter!

Thinking of this, Zhan Xi took a deep breath, his tone agitated: "Zhan Xi is willing to die serving the Sword Master!"

After saying this, he kowtowed three times on the ground.

East Sea’s expression remained unchanged, calmly saying: "Convey my order, from this moment, all the Inner Hall samurai of Black Wood Tribe must go out to guard the Inner City! Without orders, no one is allowed to enter or leave."

"Yes!"

"Anyone who breaches, regard them without question, execute!"

"Yes!"

"Send additional patrol teams to the villages to suppress illegal acts and maintain order. Anyone who disrespects this order, kill! Anyone who takes advantage of the chaos, kill!"

"Yes!"

"Dispatch a person to summon the village heads and camp leaders to the Inner City for a meeting. Before sunset tonight, I want to see all the village and camp heads. Anyone who exceeds the time will have their villages judged as rebellious, the entire village executed, and all of their camps slaughtered!"

"...Yes!" Zhan Xi’s pupils suddenly contracted, sweat dripped down, and he replied trembling. Inside, however, he was secretly in awe: What ruthless methods this Lord Sword Master has!

East Sea said calmly: "Do you have any questions?"
