Chapter 1472
Xuanxiao Imperial Capital, Inner City, the venue for the Immortal Destiny Conference.
Before tea time.
High in the sky, auspicious clouds formed two lines extending outwards from below His Majesty and the other Star Lords, with the last line being the landing site of the Mountain and River Map.
Two long, single-line formations were arranged. On the left were three thousand feudal lords and their disciples, who represented their respective sects.
On the right, behind each of the long tables in the auspicious cloud formation, sat cross-legged immortals, all of whom were earth immortals and wandering immortals. They were toasting each other, chatting and laughing, feeling extremely comfortable and at ease. These were the immortals in charge of the God-Slaying Guards' branches within the fiefdoms of the three thousand vassal kings. Behind them, sitting quietly cross-legged, were the young God-Slaying Guards who had been eliminated in the selection of the God-Slaying Satellite Lord.
In the Qingtian County's God-Slaying Guard branch, the White-Robed Immortal was ranked according to the strength of the feudal lords' fiefdoms, barely making it onto the last auspicious cloud table.
He also had the most eliminated God-Slaying Guards behind him, and it became a regular occurrence for him and several like-minded friends to be ridiculed by other managers during each Star Lord Ranking Competition.
This time it's even worse. Ever since the selection of the Mountain and River World began, the hundred God-Slaying Guards he carefully selected have been eliminated one after another. In just a year and a half, eighty-two of the hundred God-Slaying Guards he had high hopes for have already been eliminated.
Furthermore, the remaining eighteen people did not perform well in the world of mountains and rivers, and even now, none of the God-Slaying Guards under the jurisdiction of Qingtian County have been able to collect enough 999 Mountain and River Tokens.
Faced with his colleagues' teasing and the frivolous laughter of the rich, Bai Rong wore a bitter smile that made his old face twitch.
When faced with similar remarks, you can't get angry; you can only smile wryly and say something like, "My subordinates are disappointing, and I'm sorry for making a fool of myself."
Workplace oppression is just as prevalent in the world of cultivation.
Compared to the powerful leaders of the God-Slaying Guard branches in the front auspicious cloud seats, the other white-haired immortals around Bai Rong looked at him with a very kind gaze.
One reason is that they share a similar plight. Another reason is that in previous years, the people who were ridiculed were usually Bai Rong San and five others. In this way, those who ranked lower could retain some dignity.
"Bai Rong, don't be discouraged. Look, your Qingtian County still has some genius God-Slaying Guards, doesn't it?" A black-haired old man in the distance looked over with a smile, holding a wine cup. His voice was calm but teasing. "Look at that guy named Zi Hua. He's already collected more than 700 Mountain and River Tokens. If he's lucky enough to last until the end of the selection, he'll definitely be able to refresh your Qingtian County's ranking. You've been at the bottom for years, haven't you?"
Upon hearing this, the surrounding leaders of the God-Slaying Guards all looked at Bai Rong with strange eyes; these words were somewhat like a cruel insult.
Being in the outside world, they had a clear view of the situation within the mountains and rivers. Judging from the actions of Zi Hua's team, they would probably encounter his team from Shenhuo County within a few breaths.
The immortal with the yin-yang white aura who spoke just now is the head of the Divine Fire County's God-Slaying Guard.
Bai Rong could easily see that the two teams were approaching each other. The overall strength of Shenhuo Liuyun and his team from Shenhuo County was much stronger than that of Zi Hua's team.
If the two sides were to clash, even this last remaining survivor might be wiped out.
At this moment, the total population of the Mountain and River World is still four or five hundred thousand. If they are eliminated by Shenhuo County now, then this last glimmer of hope will be lost.
"Master of Divine Fire, don't let your joy turn to sorrow." Bai Rong suppressed her anger and resentment, and retorted with a liver-colored smile.
But this time, his rebuttal sounded completely unconvincing.
"Hehehe, Bai Rong, you old codger are still so stubborn. Just wait and see. I guarantee that as long as they meet, your barely passable God-Slaying Guard from Qingtian County will be eliminated."
