The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 476 - 218: Followers of Ye Hanjun_1

"Congratulations!"

"Congratulations!"

The classmates and friends from Canghai Pavilion came forward to congratulate one after another, Li Jingming replied with a clean smile.

Ye Hanjun opened his eyes and looked at the Faceless Demon Moth that always lingered around Li Jingming. After a lot of contemplation, he also revealed a small smile.

Until now - all seven disciples have reached the 3rd Order!

The goal has been achieved, there is no need to stay in Blue Peak City any longer. In the next few days, we should formally resign!

...

"What? Commander Cold is leaving here?!"

In a regular meeting, Ye Hanjun expressed his thoughts openly.

This news exploded instantly; not only did the City Lord of Blue Peak City stand up, even Sun Lin, as the Guardian, was also taken aback.

"Did we somehow offend Commander Cold in Blue Peak City? The only reason for such a sudden departure must be this!"

The deputy city lord of Blue Peak City, an old woman with a mole under her eye, tried to retain him.

Ye Hanjun gently shook his head, honestly voicing his thoughts:

"The Grass Frog Country sees me as a thorn in their side. Every extra day I stay here, soldiers will be endlessly dispatched."

"Thinking about it, with Blue Mountain City in the front and Blue Peak City at the back, my military accomplishments have piled up. It’s about time to make some changes to prevent unexpected calamities."

"Well..."

From the city lord of the 4th Order to the high-ranking officers of the 3rd Order, dozens of people looked at each other.

In just two or three months, the name ’Cold’ had become a term as reassuring as The Needle of the Sea.

He has become the military soul of Blue Peak City, like a spiritual leader, bringing morale and belief to everyone. There was no one sitting there who did not respect him.

"Alas...Master Cold is determined to leave... It seems we have no way to keep him..."

"Could it be... Commander Cold is near to his breakthrough? Otherwise, why would he make such a sudden decision..."

"That’s impossible. That’s the 4th Order. By fair estimate, Commander Cold is only 21 years old at present, where would he have such an outrageous speed of progression..."

The generals speculated in private, but how could these whispers escape Ye Hanjun’s notice?

"Thank you all, colleagues of Blue Peak City."

Ye Hanjun thanked again:

"I will leave at the latest tomorrow."

"As for the Eagle Unit, it will be concluded today. Some of the people will leave with me, while some might stay in Blue Peak City to continue tempering themselves through the turmoil of war."

...

"What in the world are you thinking, Cold?"

After the public meeting, Sun Lin couldn’t help but ask Ye Hanjun as they returned to the Eaglet Camp.

She was protecting Lord Han and the students of Canghai Pavilion as a Guardian which is why they came to Blue Peak City in the first place.

At this point, Cold doesn’t want to stay on the battlefield anymore. If this news gets out, wouldn’t the royal family of the Blue Frog Kingdom be worried?

"Old Mrs. Sun, being at the forefront doesn’t necessarily resolve the war."

"I’m willing to follow orders and force conscription, just to temper myself through this war. When the time comes, there will naturally be no need to continue."

Ye Hanjun smiled, not wanting to deceive the old predecessor who had been sincerely protecting him.

"You don’t even want to go back to Blue Mountain City since you are disbanding the Eaglets."

"Tell me about it, what plans do you have?"

"I know I cannot dissuade you, but I should still be entitled to give advice and help you strategize, right?"

Sun Lin took a light breath, sat down, and spoke seriously.

"I plan to close myself off from the public eye and devote some time to cultivation."

"But before that, there’s one important thing to do that I need to take care of. If Old Mrs. Sun is interested in joining, I would be delighted."

Ye Hanjun sat in front of Sun Lin and took out a scroll from the Dimensional Space Bag for her to read.

Curious, Sun Lin infused a little Soul Power and immediately her mouth fell open, her pupils shrinking to the size of a pinpoint.

"Good boy, your intelligence network...it’s quite wild."

"You’ve been quietly developing your power in the dark to this extent!"

"Where?" Ye Hanjun chuckled, "These are just small activities compared to the three Frog Kingdoms."

"If Old Mrs. Sun wishes to join, the mission on that scroll is of utmost importance."

Sun Lin was silent for a while, her eyes intently fixed on Ye Hanjun as she asked:

"Aren’t you afraid that I might pose a threat to you once I’m privy to your secrets?"

Ye Hanjun shrugged his shoulders, not overly concerned:

"Doubt those you do not use, trust those you do."

"Old Mrs. Sun, you have seen for yourself how limitless my potential is over the days."

"Furthermore... if this plan can be realized, it would only be beneficial for Canghai Pavilion, you, and me, wouldn’t it?"

After a brief three sentences, Sun Lin was silent again.

She seemed to be having a mental struggle and it took her almost a minute to make up her mind:

"Why not, your temperament, vision, and experiences are far beyond those of your peers."

"Although I don’t know how great the ambitions you harbor, we met along the sea, which is fate."

"Now that you dare to entertain such thoughts, it means you have some other cards to play. This is not like adding fuel to the fire but rather gilding the lily... I agree, I will send you what you want at the agreed time."

"Then I’ll thank Old Mrs. Sun in advance." Ye Hanjun stood up and bowed his thanks.

"Take care of yourself when I’m not around."

Sun Lin nodded slightly, her figure flashed and disappeared into the ground.
