Chapter 266 Shence Army

After Wei Bin finished speaking, he pulled out the chair he was sitting in, stood opposite Su Yang, and glared at him angrily. This scene made the people next to him quickly back away, for fear of accidentally hurting themselves.

Hearing Wei Bin's unfriendly tone and his posture, Su Yang felt unlucky and bewildered. He came to help them, but it turned into a test of strength.

As Wei Bin began to mobilize elemental power, Su Yang realized that this battle was unavoidable. He subconsciously increased the output power of the Flowing Cloud Barrier to prepare for Wei Bin's attack.

However, Wei Bin had been accumulating power for a long time but did not attack, which made Su Yang wonder what tricks he was playing. However, judging from Qin Xiyun's words just now, Wei Bin, who seemed to have some power, was definitely not as good as him in terms of elemental rank. Although he had not yet encountered a high-ranking elementalist of the sixth rank and third grade, Su Yang was still convinced that he would not lose.

Vibrant elemental energy converged on Wei Bin from all directions, causing him to radiate purple light. Gradually, he was enveloped in a purple sphere, like a cocoon waiting to emerge.

As Su Yang was looking at everything in front of him, everything around him suddenly burst into flames. This scene surprised not only Su Yang, but also the crowd watching from a distance. They had not seen Wei Bin make a move and did not understand why cloud elements could cause burning. Moreover, Su Yang was just standing there blankly, showing no signs of making a move.

Wei Bin, who was enveloped in purple light, frowned. The next second, he withdrew the elemental energy that had been gathered in one place, ordered people to extinguish the fire, and then said to Qin Xiyun, "Qin Xiyun, listen to my command."

"Uh, Your subordinate is here." Qin Xiyun hurriedly knelt down to receive the order.

"From today onwards, you are hereby appointed to command the Shence Army and to oversee the movement of Shence Army members in the western armies. There must be no mistakes." Wei Bin turned and glanced at Su Yang again, then continued, "This person will also be incorporated into the Shence Army."

After saying that, Wei Bin gave Qin Meng a look and left. Qin Meng understood and immediately followed. As for Zhou Zhizhuan, Wang Guirong and the others, they also followed Wei Bin and left.

Qin Xiyun, who had just received her orders, was still confused about what had happened and hadn't quite recovered. Although she didn't know why Wei Bin had suddenly appointed her to command the Shence Army, stopped causing trouble for Su Yang, and included him in his Shence Army, she now had a formal appointment and Su Yang's help. In the future, she would no longer be a little girl who needed to rely on her father's protection.

Remembering all this, she went to Su Yang's side and asked, "What just happened? Are you alright? Are you okay?"

Su Yang looked bewildered. He didn't know what had happened either. Maybe Wei Bin had some urgent business.

Seeing Su Yang's expression, Qin Xiyun knew that she wouldn't get any answers by asking any more questions, so she pulled Su Yang out and said as they walked, "Never mind, you've been recognized anyway. Come on, let's go to the Shence Army camp."

On the other side, Qin Meng followed Wei Bin to a room on the second floor, waiting for Wei Bin to speak. After a short while, Wei Bin asked, "Qin Meng, what do you think of that kid?"

Qin Meng was completely bewildered by the question. He didn't understand what Wei Bin meant, but since his superior had spoken, he could only answer truthfully according to his own thoughts: "He seems timid and hesitant, but he can also face the commander directly, which shows he has some courage."

"Hahahaha." Wei Bin laughed after hearing this, which made Qin Meng even more confused: "General, why are you laughing?"

"I'm laughing at you, old man. You're getting old after all. Your elemental level is not as high as your daughter's, and now even your ability to recognize people is not as good as your daughter's. Hahahaha."

"Why?"

Wei Bin stopped laughing and said seriously, "Stop pretending to be confused with me. Others may not have seen that attack just now, but you definitely have. I used my strongest killing move, and that kid was not injured at all. It seems that his strength is indeed above mine. Your daughter has really found a great help for the empire."

Upon hearing Wei Bin's description of the killing move, Qin Meng finally realized: "General, could it be that the way Su Yang's belongings caught fire just now was the move from many years ago? If so, he is indeed no ordinary person."

"No one has ever survived my invisible fire unscathed. Alas, it seems I am truly getting old." Wei Bin sighed, a sense of defeat creeping into his heart. But this feeling didn't last long. He immediately ordered, "Send men to keep a close eye on Su Yang. According to Yun'er's report last night, he was tricked into coming here. If he can be used by our empire, that would be best. If he shows any hostility..."

"Understood, sir," Qin Meng replied immediately, only to be reprimanded by Wei Bin once again.

"What do you understand? I haven't even finished speaking. If he has hostile intentions, we can't stop him. In that case, we should focus on winning him over. Yun is not young anymore. How can a perfectly good young woman like her stay in the army every day?"

Qin Meng then understood Wei Bin's meaning and could only chuckle awkwardly, unable to say anything else. Wei Bin was clearly willing to use his daughter's happiness to exchange for a powerful figure who would benefit the country. As a father, he truly did not want to sacrifice his daughter's lifelong happiness.

Su Yang had no idea that his Flowing Cloud Barrier had blocked Wei Bin's invisible fire. At this moment, he was sitting on horseback following Qin Xiyun toward the Shence Army camp. However, he kept thinking back to what had happened earlier, especially the fact that the items around him had inexplicably spontaneously combusted even though there was no fire element reaction. This matter bothered him greatly, but he couldn't figure it out.

The two quickly arrived at the Shence Army camp. Although it was a military camp, in Su Yang's eyes, the layout here looked more like an academy. If it weren't for the soldiers guarding the entrance, he would have thought he had come to another academy.

Accompanying the two was a messenger sent by Wei Bin. The three arrived at a room, where the messenger took out a piece of paper he carried with him and read aloud: "By order of the Commander-in-Chief, effective today, the commander of the Shence Army will be Staff Officer Qin Xiyun, and the original commander will be transferred back to the military headquarters to await further orders."

Upon hearing this, the former commander inside the room carried out the order without hesitation, leaving the Shence Army camp and completing the change of commander in an instant. This made Su Yang marvel at the army's swift, accurate, and ruthless execution.

After the messenger left, Qin Xiyun paced around the room twice before speaking, "Gentlemen, are there any official reports from the army?"

Upon hearing this, a military officer approached with a piece of paper and respectfully said, "Commander, these are the reports of new recruits submitted after the academy's martial arts competition. Please approve them."

Qin Xiyun took the paper and read the names on it: "Zhu Ning, Cao Hongyun, Xu Wu, Ren Shuangwen. Hmm, since they were recommended by Dean Tong, they must be very capable. Give me a pen."

Taking the pen, Qin Xiyun drew a large circle on the paper and then said in an undeniable tone, "Now, do two things. First, inform all Shence Army personnel of my appointment. Second, assemble the remaining Shence Army soldiers in the camp."
