The Nine Cauldrons

Book 4 Chapter 4 The Four Heaven Grade Secret Manuals

All the eleven lieutenants present held on to their expectations. Since they were short of a commander, they would of course have to be chosen from amongst the lieutenants!

And Pang Shan, Zang Feng and Guan Lu could not settle down either!

Selecting the First Commander?

Pang Shan was the Second Commander, Zang Feng was the Third Commander and Guan Lu was the Fourth Commander. All three of them wanted to progress further as well!

“At present, I have also reached a small achievement in my 《Shooting Star Blade》! Probably even Martial Uncle wouldn’t be my opponent… The First Commander position should be mine!” A burning feeling grew in Zang Feng. The 《Shooting Star Blade》was one of the two Heaven level secret manuals. Zang Feng had always been developing his blade skills and he had barely roamed the world. Therefore, the level of his fame was not that high.

But, before Teng Qingshan had came along, Zhuge Yuanhong had thought most highly of Zang Feng!

The diligent Zang Feng really had outstanding abilities. The people from the younger generation such as Zhuge Yun would be easily defeated by him!

“Second Martial Uncle has led the Black Armored Army out to battles for our Gui Yuan Sect for so many years. He has worked very hard and has lots of achievements! From today onwards, Second Martial Uncle will be appointed as an Elder of our Gui Yuan Sect!” Zhuge Yuanhong said in a clear voice. A smile broke out on Ji Hong’s face as well. Now that he was old, he also gained success and recognition to be appointed as an Elder after stepping down from his position.

Quite a number of people congratulated Ji Hong.

Zhuge Yuanhong paused for a while, before he continued, “However, the position of the commander in our Black Armored Army cannot be left vacant.”

Immediately, silence filled the main hall once again.

Zhuge Yuanhong’s voice echoed within the spacious main hall, “The position of the new First Commander of the Black Armored Army will be assumed by Lieutenant Teng Qingshan from the First Division!”

The main hall was filled with a state of uproar!

Teng Qingshan is going to be appointed as the First Commander? Quite a number of people turned to look at Teng Qingshan.

“Teng Qingshan, come up to receive your armor!” Zhuge Yuanhong called out in a clear voice.

Teng Qingshan immediately stood up and walked towards Zhuge Yuanhong.

“How could it be him?” Zang Feng’s face paled. “I was a commander to begin with! Even if Teng Qingshan was to be appointed as a commander, he should only be appointed as the Fourth Commander. The First Commander should be picked from the three of us! With my abilities, the position of the First Commander should be mine!” Zang Feng squinted his cold eyes.

Suddenly —

Zang Feng suddenly stood up and walked to the middle. Quite a number of people looked at him.

“Hmm?” Zhuge Yuanhong looked at his beloved disciple.

“There’s going to be a good show!”

“Zang Feng probably is not willing to accept this.” Those Elders and Protectors all exchanged glances and smiled. They were interested in how this would turn out. This was an internal issue of the Black Armored Army. Regardless of who was chosen, the person would not be from among the Protectors and the Elders.

Teng Qingshan also looked at Zang Feng.

“Master!” Zang Feng called out with respect. “Martial Brother Qingshan has exceptional abilities and he has established great merit. He definitely has the right to be a commander! It’s just that he is still very young and he has little experience. When Martial Granduncle was appointed as the First Commander previously, the three of us were convinced. But Qingshan… I think, it is still better for him to be appointed as the Fourth Commander for now!”

Guan Lu and Pang Shan remained silent.

Zang Feng was feeling restless as he waited for Zhuge Yuanhong to speak up.

“Step down!” Zhuge Yuanhong hollered.

Zang Feng stifled, as he raised his head to look at Zhuge Yuanhong.

Zhuge Yuanhong’s face turned sullen. “With regards to who is appoint as the First Commander, it was decided with consultation with the Law Enforcing Elders. Since when has it been for you to decide? Alright, Feng Er, you step down first.”

Zang Feng’s was stunned.
