Supreme Star Card Master

Chapter 1001: Chapter 793: Reporting for Duty

Great Flame, outskirts of the Capitol City.

The Space Gate opened, and then a silver-haired, silver-eyed youth stepped out.

Su Yuan surveyed the surroundings, smiling, ”It’s been two or three years, and I’m finally back...”

”Chirp!” Ruan Ruan on his shoulder echoed.

This time, Su Yuan only brought Ruan Ruan along.

Originally, he planned to bring Yang Aoshan back for a visit, but she was currently teaming up with Situ Bai to oversee the large island defense arrays around the seven islands near Yuantong Island, so she didn’t return.

At this moment, a figure swiftly approached from ahead, a young woman dressed in a special envoy’s attire.

”Who goes there!”

The young woman stared cautiously at Su Yuan, then her gaze fell on Ruan Ruan on his shoulder...

”So cute...” The young woman’s eyes lit up, and her vigilance involuntarily relaxed a bit.

This young woman was named Li Youyou. She was patrolling nearby when she sensed a disturbance and immediately came over, discovering an unusual figure as expected.

Li Youyou forcibly tore her gaze from Ruan Ruan and fixed it on Su Yuan, pressing the help button with one hand and secretly activating a skill with the other.

Su Yuan shook his head with a smile and retrieved his identity token with a flip of his hand.

”Don’t be nervous, I’m also with the Sky Patrol Department.”

”You too...” Li Youyou’s eyes fell on the token in Su Yuan’s hand, and after a close look, ”Huh?... Imperial Envoy!”

Li Youyou’s eyes widened in disbelief; this person was actually an Imperial Envoy? He looked so young!

No, no, a Burning Sun Expert can’t be judged by appearance alone; he might be a few hundred years old, a senior master with excellent age-preserving skills...

”Xuanwu Imperial Li Youyou, at your service, Lord Imperial Envoy!” Li Youyou quickly responded, hastily bowing.

At this moment, three more figures swiftly arrived.

It turned out to be a Waning Moon Stage patrol team leader and two Shining Star Level special envoys.

”Youyou, what’s going on!” the team leader quickly asked.

Li Youyou explained, ”There is...”

”Su Imperial Envoy?!”

The team leader’s gaze landed on Su Yuan, and after a moment’s pause, he suddenly exclaimed.

”It’s really you! Su Imperial Envoy, I am Hao Ren, your ten-year-old fan!”

The team leader spoke excitedly, the light in his eyes bright as he looked at Su Yuan.

Su Yuan smiled wryly, as he hadn’t even been with the Sky Patrol Department for ten years yet...

But he didn’t expect that although he had been away for nearly three years, he could still be recognized at once, hmm... it seems he really is a hardcore fan.

Su Yuan retracted his token, ”I have business to return to the department, I won’t disturb your duty, Captain Hao, carry on.”

Hao Ren quickly said, ”No disturbance at all, have a safe journey!”

Su Yuan nodded, retrieved Ruan Ruan into the Guardian Beast Space, then with a flash of silver light appeared on the horizon heading towards Yan Court.

The team leader looked at Su Yuan’s receding figure, barely able to contain his excitement.

The others looked at the somewhat out-of-character Hao Ren, all rather surprised; since joining the Capitol City patrol team, they had never seen Hao Envoy this thrilled.

”Hao Envoy, who was that just now...?” Li Youyou curiously asked.

Hao Ren replied, ”You’re all fresh graduates, it’s normal not to recognize him. That was Su Yuan, the most legendary star of our Sky Patrol Department in nearly ten years!”

”Su Yuan...” a nearby man suddenly recalled something, astonished, ”Hao Envoy, is he the one from the March killing bureau three years ago? I heard about it from people in the department!”

Li Youyou: ”March killing bureau?”

”That’s right, it’s him!” Upon this topic, Hao Ren immediately became enthusiastic, ”That was quite something! Come, let me tell you all about it...”

...

Yan Court, Vermilion Bird Hall.

In the hall, Fang Qingxiao was seated on the main throne, with several others including Nangong Li standing on either side.

Not long after, everyone seemed to sense something and turned to look towards the hall’s entrance.

There, a figure appeared, striding in from outside the hall.

”Vermilion Bird Imperial, Su Yuan, pays respects to the Lord.”

Su Yuan cupped his hands and bowed towards Fang Qingxiao on the main throne.

At this moment, the others were also assessing Su Yuan.

Fang Qingxiao laughed heartily, ”Su Yuan, I heard you successfully reorganized the Western Desert.”

Su Yuan replied, ”Entrusted by Nangong True Monarch, I was fortunate not to fail the mission.”

With these words, Su Yuan also cupped his hands towards Nangong Li.

Nangong Li looked at Su Yuan with a hint of surprise in her eyes, then smiled and returned the gesture, ”I merely conveyed the Lord’s instructions.”

Fang Qingxiao said, ”Su Yuan, tell us briefly about the Western Desert affair.”

”Yes!”

Su Yuan replied affirmatively and then succinctly explained how he started from the Coastal Storm Alliance, integrated the coast, established Qingming, killed Ma Wei, crushed the Central Alliance, and finally took control of the Western Desert.

Actually, this information had already been transmitted back to the department after Su Yuan returned to the Great Flame Realm.

Fang Qingxiao should have already been privy to the detailed content in advance.

Hearing about Su Yuan’s actions in the Western Desert, the few people nearby had flickering eyes, quite surprised.

Seeing this, Su Yuan felt a subtle movement in his heart, vaguely guessing that Fang Qingxiao seemed to want him to speak to these people.

”In the last year, separate establishments were set up, patrols organized, the Western Desert thoroughly stabilized, and then returned to report.” After Su Yuan finished his supplement, he saluted again.

”Good!” Fang Qingxiao nodded extremely satisfiedly.

It is indeed not easy to rectify the Western Desert.

If the means are too hard, it won’t work, causing fierce opposition, regardless of whether they can solve the experts of the major factions in the Western Desert, it will fail.

If the means are too soft, whether it can be done is not mentioned, but at least the progress is extremely slow, fearing that it may not be successful in ten or twenty years.

And Su Yuan seized the moment, dared to act decisively, and in the end, acted decisively with strength and courage to crush the Central Alliance!

Moreover, it wasn’t about supporting other forces but constructing a stable, strong force in such a short time to suppress the Western Desert...

If it were any other person present, they would not be sure if they could do it!

You should know, just to solve the hidden danger of the Central Five Domains, it took nearly half of the White Tiger Imperial.

And for the Western Desert, which is no smaller than any domain... Su Yuan, merely a Burning Sun Level, managed it!

Admittedly, the top experts of the Western Desert are not as good as the Central Five Domains, but for one person... the difficulty in it needs not be said!

Moreover, according to Su Yuan, there was still a Three Suns Realm expert there.

Nangong Li was full of admiration in his eyes. Previously, Fang Qingxiao and he had discussed this matter and decided to assign it to Su Yuan. Nangong Li thought it was too inappropriate.

But now it seems that not only did the other party really solve the problem of the Western Desert, but they completed it so perfectly!

Fang Qingxiao waved his hand, and Su Yuan immediately bowed and retreated, standing aside as well.

At this moment, Su Yuan also began to scrutinize the people in the room.

Apart from the Vermilion Bird True Monarch Nangong Li, there were four others.

Beside Nangong Li, there was a short-haired woman with a few touches of coldness on her face, dressed neatly.

Judging by the red jade pendant at her waist, she was definitely Jiang Lan, now the second rank of the Vermilion Bird Imperial.

As for the other three, an elderly man, a slightly fat middle-aged man, and a man with a bookish air, Su Yuan did not quite know them.

But these people all had one thing in common, that is, they were all experts of the Three Suns Realm!

”It seems to be the Three Suns Realm experts of the Vermilion Bird Imperial, but I don’t know if it’s all... Oh right, at least the Third Rank Liu Dongming is not here.”

At this time, Fang Qingxiao looked at the people below and slowly said, ”Then, Nangong, and the others, do you have any objection to Su Yuan taking over the position of the Vermilion Bird Third Rank?”

”Hmm?”

Su Yuan’s expression condensed, instinctively looking up at Fang Qingxiao, but his heart was greatly surprised.

Unexpectedly, Lord Fang intended to appoint him as the Vermilion Bird Third Rank.

Moreover, this means the previous Third Rank is gone!

Being promoted to Third Rank is naturally a good thing.

But even though the merit of his Western Desert trip is high, within the Sky Patrol Department, strength must take precedence...

”I’m afraid it’s not that simple...” Su Yuan scanned the few people in the room.

Sure enough, the cold-faced Jiang Lan beside Nangong Li spoke up.

”Lord Imperial, although our Vermilion Bird Imperial does not entirely rank by strength like the Azure Dragon Imperial, the requirements for strength are equally high.

Being in this position means taking on all kinds of responsibilities. If the strength is insufficient, it will harm not only oneself but others.”

Although Jiang Lan spoke without any courtesy, it was indeed the fact that the more critical the position, the more it requires a key person!

Jiang Lan looked at Su Yuan and continued, ”Su Imperial Envoy, I have also heard about your previous matters, and all your performances so far are indeed extraordinary.

However, after all, you are at the Early Sun Realm, having such a low realm becoming the Third Rank is unprecedented.

Moreover, Su Imperial Envoy, the reason you could kill the Three Suns Realm this time is because you had help from two others, correct?”

Su Yuan nodded, ”That’s right.”

Indisputably, Wei Qingyun and Luo Bingtong played very crucial roles in the battle against Ma Wei.

First, Wei Qingyun wielded that Red Training Shocking Rainbow sword and directly cut off Ma Wei’s first life.

And Luo Bingtong, with powerful strength, faced Ma Wei head-on and shattered his body to expose the core.

Without the achievements these two made beforehand, solely relying on Su Yuan himself, he might indeed not have been able to kill Ma Wei.

After all... the Three Suns Realm had enough Star Power to break free from the Divine Prohibition Chains, the Star Power gap was really too large!

Seeing this, the Vermilion Bird Throne smiled and said, ”In terms of realm... Su Yuan, you have already broken through to the Chongyang Realm, haven’t you?”

Su Yuan cupped his hands, ”Reporting to the Lord Imperial, luckily broke through.”

”Hmm?” Jiang Lan and others immediately showed a bit of surprise on their faces.

Su Yuan didn’t mention breaking through, and he had a completely Concealing Breath, Jiang Lan, and others didn’t notice Su Yuan’s realm.

And according to existing information, Su Yuan broke through to Burning Sun after the March killing round three years ago.

How come now, he has broken through to Chongyang!

From Early Sun to Chongyang... only took three years?!

However, what Jiang Lan and others didn’t know was, not three years...

As early as a year ago, when he killed the Three Suns Realm, he had already broken through.

From Early Sun to Chongyang... two years!
