Chapter 74: I am a pushover? You are really good at judging people!

Sir?

What kind of strange name is this?
Tian Peng Zhenjun was puzzled, but he couldn't call her by her name. After hesitating for a long time, he finally squeezed out a few words:
"You are the official sent by His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven?"

The title Shangguan is okay.

Yang Ling nodded, reluctantly accepting it.

Then he said calmly: "Since you have met your superior, why don't you bow?"

"..."

Tian Peng Zhenjun suddenly felt an invisible pressure.

This pressure comes from the Emperor of Heaven!
At this moment, Yang Ling is holding the Heavenly Emperor's talisman and has absolute right to speak!
But he was really unwilling to just bow his head and surrender like this... At least he had to see that this guy named Yang Ling really had the ability to lead him, right?

"Ok?"

Seeing that Tianpeng Zhenjun was reluctant to bow, Yang Ling couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.

His gaze passed over Tianpeng Zhenjun and looked at the four divine generals including Tianhai and Tianyu, and the invisible pressure also came to them.

Go ahead, I'm a little unconvinced.

But I don’t want to bow, as it seems like I will offend this new boss.

After a slight hesitation, Tianhai God General was the first to bend down and clasp his fists, saying respectfully: "General Tianhai greets the superior! I am willing to obey your orders!"

Someone took the lead, and the remaining three gods also saluted.

"This is so true."

Yang Ling expressed his approval of the wise behavior of the gods, and then turned his attention to Tian Peng Zhen Jun.

Tian Peng Zhenjun: “…”

How is this going?

It was you guys who were the first to start trouble just now, right? But before I even admitted defeat, you guys knelt down first!
What a bunch of cowards!

Tian Peng Zhen Jun cursed inwardly, still feeling somewhat hesitant.

After all, his situation is different from that of the four generals.

Tianhai, Tianyu and other four generals were originally following orders. The sudden arrival of Yang Ling was just a change of their immediate superior, which would not be much different from before.

But he is different!
He, Tianpeng Zhenjun, is the leader of the Nine Stars of the Big Dipper and is in charge of the North Pole Exorcism Institute. He is a great marshal who rules over a region.

He has always been the only one giving orders!

Now a monk from the lower realm has descended upon him to snatch his position, and he is asked to bow down to him. Does he really think he is a soft persimmon?
With this thought, the tall and handsome Marshal Tianpeng suddenly straightened up, looked at Yang Ling and said in a deep voice:
"Since His Majesty has appointed Shangguan to lead the hunt for the Meishan Demon Immortal, I believe Shangguan must be a highly accomplished Taoist with extraordinary skills. I wonder where Shangguan practices and who is his master?"

"Are you trying to test my background first?" Yang Ling looked at Tian Peng Zhen Jun with a half-smile. "If I am not qualified, you will give me a cold shoulder, pretend to obey my words, and secretly join forces with the four gods to make me understand that your rules are the rules, right?"

Tian Peng Zhenjun: “…”

Wow, he got it all right!
Tian Peng Zhen Jun was a little flustered.

This fellow named Yang Ling doesn't look like a casual cultivator from the lower world at all. Instead, he looks like a veteran who has been immersed in the officialdom for many years!
He wanted to explain himself, but when he saw the other person's eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, he decided to give up.

We are all smart people, so it’s better to explain it clearly.

At this time, Yang Ling looked at him and said with a smile: "Since you want to know where I come from, you have to show your sincerity and introduce yourself first, right?"

Hearing this, Tian Peng Zhen Jun suddenly became excited.

This is the moment he has been waiting for!
This is also the confidence that supports him!
"listen!"

Tian Peng Zhenjun cleared his throat, looked at Yang Ling and said word by word: "I was originally a casual cultivator of the human race, and later I was fortunate enough to receive guidance from the Great Master Xuan Du of the Human Cult! That is why I brazenly call myself a registered disciple of the Great Master Xuan Du!"

"Oh?"

Yang Ling was a little surprised.

Although he knew that this Marshal Tianpeng was probably the one he knew, he did not expect that he had received guidance from the Great Master Xuandu. However, the Great Master Xuandu traveled among the human race for many years and was easy-going and straightforward. He might have seen that Marshal Tianpeng had good talent and gave him some pointers.

It's one thing to give advice, but it's unlikely to get him to accept a disciple.

This seems like something that Master Xuandu would do.

"how?"

After introducing himself, Tian Peng Zhen Jun first looked around and unsurprisingly saw envious looks on the faces of the four heavenly generals.

Then he turned around and looked at Yang Ling, his face full of a slightly reserved complacency.

"I wonder where Shangguan's master came from?"

Yang Ling ignored him and silently estimated the distance from here to Guanjiangkou, then stretched out his index finger and drew a circle in front of him.

The water vapor in the air quickly condensed into a round mirror. The surface of the mirror rippled slightly, and then a handsome and elegant figure was reflected from it.

He was wearing a green Taoist robe and looked a little lazy and casual.

"Brother, what is the matter that I am calling you for?"

At this moment, Tian Peng Zhenjun's eyes widened and his tongue became tied, "Great... Great... Great Master!"

"Ok?"

Master Xuandu raised his eyebrows slightly, and then suddenly said, "So it's you. You have indeed become the Grand Marshal of Heaven."

When Yang Ling heard this, he knew that Master Xuandu must have deduced the fate of Master Tianpeng, but he didn't know whether he had deduced the calamity that would happen to him in the future.

However, even if he deduced it, Master Xuandu would not say it out loud given his personality.

He would just observe silently and would not take the initiative to change anything.

“Today I happened to meet this True Lord Tian Peng who claimed to be your registered disciple, so I let you, my senior brother, take a look at him…” Yang Ling said as he glanced at True Lord Tian Peng.

Tian Peng Zhen Jun had already been stunned the moment he saw Master Xuan Du, but he came to his senses after hearing Yang Ling's words.

He knelt down and kowtowed several times to Master Xuandu.

But before he could say anything, the water mirror in the air suddenly collapsed.

“Sorry…” Yang Ling shrugged, “The two places are too far apart, and I haven’t mastered the Water Mirror Technique yet…”

To be precise, this was his first time using the Water Mirror Technique.

That day, Saint Taiqing left too many methods of cultivation and various Taoist magic powers in his mind, which were varied and comprehensive.

He definitely won't be able to learn it in a short period of time.

You can only learn it temporarily and use it when you need it.

This is because he has a very high level of comprehension. He can basically learn ordinary Taoist magic skills with just one look at them. It is not difficult at all.

"Uncle Master!"

At this time, Tian Peng Zhen Jun did not stand up, but turned around to face Yang Ling, knelt and said loudly: "Tian Peng greets Uncle Master! I hope Uncle Master will not bear grudges against me..."

"Which one is your uncle?" Yang Ling said unhappily, "Don't try to make connections. Senior Brother Xuandu only gave you instructions, but he didn't plan to take you in as his disciple!"

"Yes, yes, yes... Master... Shangguan, you are right. I was shameless enough to pretend to be a disciple of the Human Religion." Tian Peng Zhenjun had a sad face, but he did not dare to refute. He could only plead, "But I really want to join the Human Religion!"

Yang Ling glared at him, "Nonsense, who wouldn't want to?"

After being glared at by him, Tian Peng Zhen Jun immediately became obedient and bowed respectfully again, "Tian Peng greets the superior! I am willing to obey your orders!"

At this moment, when he was called "Shangguan", he was sincerely convinced, even happy and expectant, without any feeling of dissatisfaction, resentment or unhappiness.

Even just a moment ago, he still wanted to prove that he was not a soft persimmon!

But now, he was very clear that in front of this disciple of the Human Sect, he was really a soft persimmon that could be bullied at will!
