Chapter 1106: Sword Dao Abilities (II)
At the same time, the other seven handpicked by Li Hao arrived at the ruins. Sky Sword, Earthturner Sword, Hou Xiaochen, Kong Jie, Huang Yu, Chen Zhongtian, and Lin Hongyu.
Their strength ran the gamut and their weakest was Kong Jie. As one of the four protectors of Silver Moon province, he was the weakest among them to begin with. He was neither among the first batch of personnel to Skystar City nor commanded troops like Huang Yu.
After a few excursions, the gap between him and the others had widened further. The rest were nearly all twelve dao meridians—peak first level Sun and Moon. He was barely ten meridians.
At the moment, Kong Jie was slightly nervous and rather agitated. When he heard Li Hao say that someone would strengthen them, he couldn’t help but say, “Um... um... how about I give my opportunity to someone else? Tyrant Blade and Northern Fist are here too...”
Inwardly, however, he prayed madly that his suggestion wouldn’t be accepted. He wanted this opportunity! It would be hard to come by another after he was passed over for this one.
“Inspector General Kong has sat in residence at Silver Moon for many years and the Silver Moon Inspectorate has always fulfilled its duties,” laughed Li Hao. “You bear a lot of credit for the province being prosperous and the people living in safety! Not to mention, I was part of the Inspectorate back in the day!”
Kong Jie grinned, his heart light with exuberance. This was a reward and a friendly gesture from Li Hao for deeds rendered! He’d held down the fort in Silver Moon all this time and refused to let it dissolve into chaos. Although the Inspectorate had many unsolved cases in its books, at the very least, tranquility had been maintained for many years and the three great organizations didn’t dare exceed the limits of acceptable behavior.
All four protectors of the province were here to benefit from this rare opportunity. It was indeed a reward from Li Hao for their outstanding tenure. Otherwise, Kong Jie would never be listed among the ten to be enhanced. There were plenty either stronger than him or closer to Li Hao than him.
Chen Zhongtian, Gan Wuliang, and Lin Hongyu were also present as a reward for their service. Such was give and take!
“You guys should wait a while for them to come back out. You can enter the ruins only if everything seems fine.”
The newly assembled group settled down in wait. Time ticked by second by second. The sky darkened and the first day passed. It’d been an entire day since Li Hao’s replica had been destroyed.
