In the Great Qin Dynasty, I, the Unruly Commander, begin by dual-cultivating with Yan Ling Ji.

Kuiwei Hall

A spacious courtyard,

A voluptuous and alluring woman lay languidly on a chaise lounge.

Long, slender legs were revealed from under the high slit of her robe, and pink patterns were tattooed on her fair skin.

She raised the gold-plated pipe in her hand, placed it to her red lips, took a deep drag, and exhaled a wisp of smoke.

She stretched lazily, revealing a large expanse of beautiful spring scenery.

Just then, a man with a long sword at his waist strode into the courtyard. When he saw the glimpse of Tian Mi's exposed skin, a hint of embarrassment appeared on his previously anxious face.

However, Tian Mi didn't care at all, tilting her head to look at the man.

"What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry..."

Tian Mi's voice seemed to possess a special magic, calming the man's racing heart.

The man bowed and cupped his hands, saying:

"Master, Shennong Hall is about to convene a six-hall council."

"Oh? What's gotten into the Zhu family that they're calling for a six-chamber council?"

In the farmhouse, the Six Halls Council is only convened when a major event occurs; the last time the Six Halls Council was convened was when the leader of the chivalrous sect disappeared.

"Master, the people from Shennong Hall say that this council meeting concerns the Xia Kui..."

Upon hearing this, Tian Mi's beautiful eyes, which had been slightly closed, suddenly opened, and she appeared behind the man in a flash.

Her slender fingers traced a line down the man's back as she spoke calmly:

"Prepare the sedan chair and enter Shennong Hall. I want to see what the Zhu family is up to."

"Yes, Master." The subordinate knelt down on one knee with fear in his eyes.

Meanwhile, on the other side, at Lieshan Hall,

Wearing a leather vest that exposed his muscular physique, Tian Hu had a rugged and angular face with an air of arrogance.

He looked down at the Lieshan Hall followers and said loudly:

"Brothers of Lieshan Hall, my brother died in the land of the tyrannical Qin, and even his bones cannot be laid to rest."

"You are all my brother's brothers, so you are also my brothers, Tian Hu's brothers. In the name of the Chi You Hall Master, I declare to you that from now on, the Chi You Hall and the Lie Shan Hall will be treated equally. I will lead you to avenge my brother!"

"We are willing to follow our leader!" The members of Lieshan Hall knelt down and said in unison.

Tian Hu nodded in satisfaction. Given the interests and the greater good, it was only natural that Lieshan Hall would fall into his hands.

At this moment, a disciple of the Chiyou Hall hurriedly came to Tian Hu's side, whispered a few words in his ear, and Tian Hu's expression instantly turned serious.

After leaving a few deacons of the Chiyou Hall to take over the Lieshan Hall, Tian Hu gripped his long sword and left with a swift gait.

Shennong Hall

When Tian Hu arrived at Shennong Hall in a great hurry with his men, the other four hall masters had already arrived.

The short-statured Zhu Jia sat in the main seat with a happy expression on his face, flanked by the Black and White Impermanence on his left and right sides respectively.

The gaunt Gonggong Hall Master, Tian Zhong, sat on the right with a gloomy expression, followed by Situ Wanli and Tian Mi.

Tian Hu, who had always been at odds with the Zhu family, sat down in the seat reserved for him with a cold face. He glanced at the imposing Black and White Impermanence and said irritably:

"Why is the Zhu family suddenly convening a council of six? Where is the Xia Kui (Chief of the Heroes) now?"

The Zhu family's expression did not change in the slightest despite Tian Hu's harsh words.

He looked at the group of hall masters with a smile and said:

"Our Shennong Hall's search party has sent back intelligence that we have some leads on the hero's whereabouts. However, we have good news and bad news. Which would you like to hear first?"

Situ Wanli chuckled as he played with the dice and said:

"Then please tell me the good news first, Master Zhu. I prefer to hear good news."

"The good news is that the Hero's Shennong Token has been found and is now in my hands."

As Zhu Jia took out the ancient token symbolizing the highest authority of the peasant family from his bosom, the other four hall masters all stood up, staring intently at Zhu Jia.

Before anyone else could speak, the Zhu family continued:

"The bad news is that the leader of the Xia clan has already perished in the Luo Wang organization, and now there is no trace of his remains."

The Zhu family's facial makeup changed to a blue mournful design, and their heads drooped sadly.

"How could this be?!" Tian Hu said in disbelief.

"How could a peerless martial arts master fall into the hands of the Net?!"

The leader of the chivalrous family, Tian Guang, was a member of their clan. In terms of seniority, he was Tian Meng's uncle. Now that Tian Guang is dead, the already predetermined successor of the Tian family's chivalrous family may be in turmoil again.

Tian Hu was naturally aware of this, and he turned his gaze to the Shennong Token in the Zhu family's hands.

He suddenly spoke up:

“The Zhu family’s leader, Tian Guang, was my uncle. Now that he has met with misfortune, I should naturally take over the Shennong Token.”

Looking at the righteous and awe-inspiring Tian Hu, Zhu Jia sneered, "Tian Hu, do you think I don't know what you're up to?"

"Once the Shennong Decree is issued, it can command 100,000 disciples across the six halls. Whoever obtains the Shennong Decree will become the new leader of the heroes!"

Tian Zhong crossed his arms and said in a sinister tone:

"Master Zhu is mistaken. Every leader of our peasant family has been a person of both virtue and talent. Only those who have the prestige to be respected by the masses can become leaders of the peasant family."

"Now, with just this token of dubious authenticity, Hall Master Zhu dares to command my six halls and one hundred thousand disciples? Isn't that just wishful thinking?"

“That’s right, we don’t even know if this Shennong Order is real or fake, so how can we obey your orders?” Tian Hu chimed in from the side.

At this moment, Situ Wanli, who had been silent for a long time, stepped forward and said with a smile:

"Gentlemen," I say, "I have a suggestion. Why don't we entrust this decision-making power to the elders of the Six Sages' Tomb, the sacred site of agriculture? Firstly, this would allow them to verify the authenticity of the Shennong Decree."

Secondly, if the elders approve of Hall Master Zhu as the new leader of the chivalrous sect, we will have no complaints.

However, if something were to happen to Hall Master Zhu on the way, then it would be hard to say... Hehe..."

Apart from the Zhu family, all the other hall masters had thoughtful expressions on their faces.

After a moment, Tian Hu spoke first: "Sure, if the Zhu family can truly gain the elders' approval, I have nothing to say."

"I agree."

"I don't have any objection either."

Tian Zhong and Tian Mi spoke in turn.

Situ Wanli turned his gaze to the Zhu family in the center. The Zhu family's expression was uncertain. After a long while, he gritted his teeth and smiled.

"Alright, then we will do as Hall Master Situ says."
