The poorest member of the Imperial Guard, the Empress begged me to embezzle.

Peak of the fifth level of the Celestial Realm!

Peak of the sixth level of the Celestial Realm!

Peak of the seventh level of the Celestial Realm!

A small achievement at the eighth level of the Heavenly Realm!

In the blink of an eye, Li Jingtian's cultivation level skyrocketed from the peak of the fourth level of the Celestial Realm to the minor completion of the eighth level of the Celestial Realm.

It should be noted that at the very beginning, Li Jingtian was only at the fourth level of the Celestial Realm, at the minor completion stage.

Li Jingtian has now reached the eighth level of the Celestial Realm, and is not far from the Human Immortal Realm!

"Martial arts, indeed, these are the martial arts of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, not the effect of the Killing Blade Formation!"

"This martial art is not simply created for killing!"

"This is absolutely a world-shaking martial art!"

"In the Celestial Realm, each step forward in cultivation is extremely difficult and requires a large amount of cultivation resources."

"But under this martial arts manual, all those who practice martial arts are cultivation resources!"

"With such terrifying and world-shaking martial arts, the Embroidered Uniform Guard will surely produce countless experts at the Human Immortal Realm, or even above!"

Qin Lie felt a chill run down his spine and his hands and feet turn ice-cold. He felt a bone-chilling cold rising from his spine and rushing to his head, filling him with immense fear. He muttered to himself, "In the entire world, there is definitely no one who can stop the Embroidered Uniform Guard, no one who can stop the Marquis!"

Those powerful and influential families were all wrong!

They actually thought that the most powerful part of the Embroidered Uniform Guard was its killing blade formation.

In fact, the Killing Blade Formation is nothing compared to this martial art!

This is the true essence of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, a world-shaking martial art powerful enough to suppress everything in the world!

At this moment, Qin Lie felt a sense of fear towards the Embroidered Uniform Guard and Chu Xiu.

"Unfortunately, Qin Yun has only just stepped into the Human Immortal Realm, and killing him with the Killing Blade Technique will definitely result in some losses. It is impossible to plunder all of his cultivation."

"I did not use the Killing Blade Formation, nor did I share Qin Yun's cultivation with our elite Imperial Guards. I only reached the minor completion of the eighth level of the Celestial Realm, and could not reach the peak of the eighth level of the Celestial Realm, or even the peak of the ninth level of the Celestial Realm."

"However, now that I have reached the eighth level of the Celestial Realm, I am not far from the ninth level of the Celestial Realm, or even the Human Immortal Realm."

"It won't be long before I reach the Human Immortal Realm, and then our Embroidered Uniform Guard will truly have experts at the Human Immortal Realm level."

"Even without the Killing Blade Formation, I can still share your burdens and solve your problems!"

"However, taking a single step to reach the eighth level of the Celestial Realm should be enough to intimidate Qin Lie."

A hint of regret flashed across Li Jingtian's eyes, but he remained outwardly calm as he sheathed the Embroidered Spring Blade in his hand.

"Congratulations, Lord Li, on reaching the eighth level of the Celestial Realm. Your cultivation has greatly increased."

Qin Lie looked at Li Jingtian with a broad smile and congratulated him by clasping his hands in a fist salute.

"Compared to Elder Qin, my cultivation level is nothing at all."

Li Jingtian smiled calmly and said.

"Lord Li has exceptional talent. I'm afraid it won't be long before he reaches the realm of human immortals, and catching up with me is only a matter of time."

Qin Lie said with a humble expression.

Li Jingtian smiled and remained silent.

"Lord Li, I have a request, but I don't know if I should say it."

Qin Lie considered for a moment, then looked at Li Jingtian with a sincere expression and said...

"Since Elder Qin already knows it's an unreasonable request, then there's no need to say anything more!"

Li Jingtian smiled slightly and said.

"..."

Qin Lie opened his mouth, but ultimately chose to keep it closed.

After all, Li Jingtian had already said so much.

But he was still somewhat unwilling to accept it.

The rise of the Embroidered Uniform Guard was absolutely inevitable, and it wouldn't be long before they possessed the power to suppress the entire world.

At that time, let alone the Qin family of Huaiyin, one of the nine great families in the martial arts world.

Even the most prestigious holy lands, or the five noble families and seven powerful clans, would certainly not be able to resist them.

If you don't get on the good side of the Embroidered Uniform Guard now before they fully rise to power, you might not have another chance like this.

"Elder Qin, I was just joking with you."

"Elder Qin, why don't you tell me? If it's something I can help with, I can lend you a hand."

"After all, Elder Qin just helped our Embroidered Uniform Guard capture Qin Yun, the master of the number one manor in the world."

Li Jingtian smiled slightly and looked at Qin Lie.

Upon hearing this, Qin Lie's face lit up with gratitude, and he bowed to Li Jingtian, saying, "Thank you, Lord Li!"

"Speak, Elder Qin, what do you want me to help you with?"

Li Jingtian said calmly.

"Lord Li, I wish to form an alliance with the Embroidered Uniform Guard on behalf of the Qin family of Huaiyin!"

"Our ancestor of the Qin family of Huaiyin was a being at the Earth Immortal level."

"Among our Qin family of Huaiyin, there are also many peerless masters at the Human Immortal Realm level."

"The Embroidered Uniform Guard's strength has not yet truly grown, while our Qin family of Huaiyin... But I am optimistic that the Embroidered Uniform Guard will one day become the most powerful force in our entire Great Zhou Dynasty!"

"Even the five noble families and seven prominent clans are no match for the Embroidered Uniform Guard!"

"Therefore, I believe we can form an alliance. Before these Imperial Guards fully mature, our Qin family of Huaiyin can lend a hand to them!"

"When the Embroidered Uniform Guard needs us, the Qin family of Huaiyin will unleash our full strength!"

"Fight for the Embroidered Uniform Guard!"

Qin Lie spoke with a serious expression and solemnity.

"An alliance?"

"Elder Qin is likely to be disappointed."

"We, the Embroidered Uniform Guard, do not form alliances with anyone."

"We, the Embroidered Uniform Guard, are loyal only to His Majesty!"

"It is the sharpest blade in His Majesty's hand!"

Li Jingtian said calmly.

"Actually... it doesn't necessarily have to be an alliance."

"Our Qin family of Huaiyin, as long as we can join the Embroidered Uniform Guard's Service Pavilion and become a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard's Service Pavilion..."

"I am willing to work for the Embroidered Uniform Guard."

Upon hearing this, Qin Lie hurriedly explained.

"That's not impossible."

"I can indeed put in a good word for Elder Qin with our Marquis."

“But Elder Qin, your words just now only represent you, not the entire Qin family of Huaiyin.”

Li Jingtian gave Qin Lie a meaningful look and said.

"Please rest assured, Lord Li, I will return to our Qin family of Huaiyin immediately and persuade our ancestor to allow our Qin family of Huaiyin to join the Embroidered Uniform Guard's Service Pavilion and become a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard's Service Pavilion!"

Qin Lie's face lit up with immense joy, and he exclaimed with ecstasy, "I will absolutely not let Lord Li down!"

What he really wanted was a spot in the Imperial Guard's Hall of Worship.

In fact, as long as he could join the Imperial Guard's Service Pavilion and become a member of it...

The Qin family of Huaiyin had thus secured a powerful connection with the Embroidered Uniform Guard, becoming one with them and bound by a shared destiny.

Judging from Li Jingtian's words, it's not as simple as him being the only one to join the Embroidered Uniform Guard's Palace of Worship.

This is absolutely fantastic news!

"Elder Qin, it's not impossible for your Huaiyin Qin family to join our Embroidered Uniform Guard's Service Pavilion."

"However, the number of people cannot be too large."

"I can only give you three spots from the Qin family of Huaiyin."

Li Jingtian pondered for a moment and said, "Moreover, one of the spots must be filled by Qin Zhan, the ancestor of the Qin family of Huaiyin!"
