The First Tyrant of Daxia

Chapter 4360 Recruiting Anding Yi

Qin Yun remained silent, but signaled Ding Yi to continue.

Ding Yi no longer concealed anything and opened up, "I was saved by Shu Minyu when I was out fighting. At that time, we were attacking the Yaochi Sect, which is now on good terms with the Phosphorus Fire Sect. At that time, the Yaochi Sect was very powerful, relying on the protection of the Yaochi to enjoy a prominent position in the extremely cold region. But now it has been suppressed and has lost its power."

"At the beginning, almost all the disciples I was in charge of were wiped out. It was Shu Minyu who showed up in time and saved me. He also valued my talent and allowed me to stay in the Phosphorus Fire Sect, treating me like one of his own, for decades."

"Your talent?" Qin Yun asked.

Ding nodded: "Yes, my talent is that I am not affected by extreme cold. It is easy for me to enter the extreme cold zone for the first time. I can rely on myself to break the snow velvet barrier, even though I don't have the blood of the extreme cold zone."

This is nothing special for Qin Yun, but for the Phosphorus Fire Sect who have lived in the extremely cold area for a long time, it is a rare talent.

No wonder it was Ding Yi who went to investigate at the beginning, instead of other people in the sect. This was one of the reasons why the extremely cold area was blocked, and they would experience many discomforts when they came to the outside world.

Ding Yi continued, "During this period, Shu Minyu generously taught me all his skills, but unfortunately I don't have the talent for taming beasts, and I haven't been able to comprehend the most critical skills. Just based on these, the huge difference in treatment from me in this sect is enough for me to identify with Shu Minyu and remember his kindness."

"Besides, as the leader of a sect, he doesn't put on airs with me. He treats me as an equal, a lifesaver and his own son. You should be able to understand me, right?"

After listening to Ding Yi's description, Qin Yun quickly understood what Shu Minyu's appearance meant to Ding Yi. Knowing how to repay a favor and being willing to sacrifice his life was another reason why Qin Yun valued Ding Yi besides the Burning Star Sword Manual, and it was also the key reason why he wanted to recruit him.

Qin Yun slowly stood up, looked around the ruins of the main room, and said calmly: "Since Shu Minyu has raised you for so long, and has been unreserved for decades, he should want you to live well, not die for him."

Everyone understands the truth, but when it happens to him, Ding Yi cannot accept it calmly.

He watched Shu Minyu die tragically but failed to save him, just like Shu Minyu watched him die tragically but tried his best to save him. He had no face to live.

Qin Yun summoned Dongfang Tianxiang and asked him to heal Ding Yi and join the Daxia Empire after he recovered.

Upon hearing this, Ding Yi's eyes widened: "Qin Yun, what do you mean? If it's just for the Burning Star Sword Manual, I can give it to you, but I can't obey your order to live in humiliation!" Qin Yun shook his head lightly and denied: "No, I won't let you live in humiliation, but I accepted you into Daxia. While I value the Burning Star Sword Manual, I value your qualities even more. Now there is a chance to live in front of you, don't you really want it?"

Faced with Qin Yun's soul-searching questioning, it was difficult for Ding Yi to say no. Between life and death, if there was a choice, everyone would choose the former.

Sensing Ding Yi's hesitation, Qin Yun continued, "I will bring your swords back to repair them, treat your injuries, and provide you with training and survival. What I want is your absolute loyalty to the Great Xia Empire."

In this transaction, Ding Yi not only saved his life, but also got to have the next master. While the tragic fate was eroding him, it also gave him constant opportunities to survive.

This time, Ding Yi stopped thinking and knelt down as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw: "Qin Yun, if you can give me another chance to live, I will swear allegiance to the Great Xia Empire until my death!"

Dongfang Tianxiang raised his eyebrows and reminded him, "Call him Your Majesty. No one in the Great Xia Empire dares to call him by his name." Ding Yi realized it later and shouted, "Your Majesty!"

Qin Yun nodded with satisfaction. If Ding Yi could be loyal to the Great Xia Empire in the future just like he was loyal to Shu Minyu, then Great Xia would have another powerful general.

Coupled with the inheritance of the Burning Star Sword Technique, the overall strength of the Great Xia soldiers will certainly be a significant leap forward, adding great momentum to the progress of the conquest of the extremely cold regions.

"Okay! Ding Yi, you will be my Great Xia man from now on! I appoint you as the deputy commander of the Xuanhuang Army. When necessary, you will lead the Xuanhuang Army to fight in the extremely cold zone!"

Ding Yi was flattered by the importance of this matter: "Yes! Your Majesty! I will definitely live up to your expectations!"

Dongfang Tianxiang couldn't believe his ears when he heard this. He shivered uncontrollably and looked towards Qin Yun in confusion.

This Xuanhuang Army, the strongest fighting force in Daxia, was directly commanded by Qin Yun. Now that Ding Yi has arrived, he has become the deputy commander. It is no exaggeration to say that his status is almost as high as Gu Chuntang's.

Qin Yun had his own considerations. The reason why the Xuanhuang Army was selected was to conquer the extremely cold zone without affecting the conquest of other small sects in the Baisha domain. Ding Yi was appointed as the deputy commander of the Xuanhuang Army because of his understanding of the extremely cold zone and his hatred for the Yaochi Sect.

Qin Yun changed the subject and asked doubtfully: "What do you think of the Yaochi Sect now?"

Ding Yi thought for a moment and quickly answered, "It is a small to medium-sized sect in the extremely cold region. With the blessing of Yaochi, it is very powerful. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack the Yaochi."

Although Ding Yi did not mention the fact that Yao Chi Sect had previously killed the disciples he led, Qin Yun's eyes, which could see through people's hearts, could still tell that the hatred had never dissipated.

"The next step in the Great Xia Empire's conquest is the Yaochi Sect."

Qin Yun said calmly, while Ding Yi pretended to be puzzled: "Your Majesty, I will just wait for your orders."

"No, I want you to be the commander of the Yaochi Sect in this campaign and repay all the hatred from many years ago. This time, we have the assistance of the soldiers of the Great Xia Empire, so we will settle all the new and old hatreds together."

As soon as these words were spoken, the hatred hidden deep in Ding Yi's heart once again jumped out on paper, and there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

He looked in the direction of Yao Chi Sect and shouted angrily, "Understood, Your Majesty! Don't worry, I will make the people of Yao Chi Sect pay back for their previous actions and for not caring about the embarrassment of Phosphorus Fire Sect this time!"

This was exactly the momentum Qin Yun wanted. He ordered Dongfang Tianxiang to continue the treatment while he left the main room and headed towards the front line.

During the conversation, the remaining disciples of the Phosphorus Fire Sect had all been killed. The entire Phosphorus Fire Sect was a sea of ​​blood and had become a ruin. All that was left was to clean up the battlefield and seize the Phosphorus Fire Sect's luck and energy.

After briefly explaining the matter to Gu Chuntang, Qin Yun left and headed for the Soul Corpse Chamber. Feng Jiutian and the Phantom Deer tribe were surrounding the colorful scales and looking at them. The blazing phosphorus fire above them gradually dimmed under the influence of the extreme cold, the temperature weakened, and the spiritual power contained in it also decreased.
