I Have Countless Past-life Identities-Chapter 55 - 53: Black Mountain City Guardian, Grand General’s Personal Guard, Deputy Commander of Monster Suppression—Three Choices, Which to Choose?

Chapter 55: Chapter 53: Black Mountain City Guardian, Grand General’s Personal Guard, Deputy Commander of Monster Suppression—Three Choices, Which to Choose?

Master of Baoping State!

What kind of Great Cultivator is this?

Stomping a foot might cause the entire Jianghu of Baoping State to shake three times.

Perhaps in the center of Great Zhao, in the Divine Capital of Ming Huang State, this Governor, dressed in a Second-Grade Red and Purple Embroidered Golden Robe, might be outmatched by countless hidden talents.

But what is this place?

Baoping State!

She has the final say!

Song Chai Xin’s breathing became a bit rapid.

However, at the same time, various doubts surged in his mind, leaving Song Chai Xin utterly baffled.

There’s always something strange in abnormal situations.

He did not know why this renowned Governor, a Great Divine Power User who is almost at the top of the world, would favor him so much, not even his grandfather Xie Qiaoxuan dared offend her for fear of bringing disaster to the entire Xie Family...

Why does she favor him so much?

And the woman in the Red and Purple Embroidered Golden Robe, with a slender figure, looked at him with indifferent eyes, not seeming to care much about him.

It was as if she saw through his doubts, and Pei Nanbei continued:

"I don’t know why that person values you, causing the Martial Temple’s inheritance statue to tremble."

"But since you have a connection, I shall protect you for a while."

"You don’t need to worry about the pressure from the Divine Capital of Ming Huang State, as long as you don’t make any major mistakes, anything that happens afterward shouldn’t involve you."

"But,"

"Don’t think that having the promise of ’reporting my true name’ means you can be carefree and unbridled."

"Life and death tribulations, resources, cultivation techniques, connections... you must fight for all of these yourself; I will not interfere much."

"According to the rules, after the Martial Arts Leader returns from the Ancient Path of Reception, they can be awarded a position based on performance."

"This used to be the responsibility of the Prefecture Venerable, but this time..."

Pei Nanbei frowned slightly, stretched out her slender fingers, rubbed her brow, and revealed a trace of fatigue:

"The Prefecture Venerable of Wutong cannot wait any longer."

"Let the Demon Hunter General and I take charge."

"Anyway, any appointments afterward must have the consent of the State Mansion that ’establishes the government office,’ and since I, the Master of Baoping State, am here, it’s just a matter of saying so."

"Song Chai Xin,"

"According to decades of history in Baoping State, anyone who can knock the gate of the Martial Temple, even if only a newly formed Vajra, can be exceptionally promoted to a Town Guardian, wearing a light crimson robe, embroidered with mandarin duck patterns, ranked Seventh-Grade!"

"However, the era of Great Zhao has not even spanned a hundred years."

"For the national destiny of a dynasty, it is just beginning, and guarding a town means at least ensuring peace in the city without turmoil."

"Even cities with third-step experts guarding them cannot avoid infiltration by demons."

"For the largest cities, any oversight in officials, Martial Arts Halls, local tyrants, cults, and demons is normal."

"Therefore, the position of Town Guardian is low-ranking but heavily burdened, and failure translates to negligence; moreover, as a Town Guardian, if an accident occurs, it typically means losing one’s head!"

"The Demon-Suppressing Great Wall can only hold back the large external forces on the Dao Lineage level, engaging in life-and-death struggles with them."

"But how vast is this Great Zhao, with its mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas teeming with demons, evil spirits, and sects... even the government office and the Demon Hunting Department can only struggle to maintain a fragile balance."

"However, since you are the Martial Arts Leader with special privileges, General Ye Cang of the Demon Hunting Department and I discussed offering you three choices before coming here."

"First is to fill a vacancy in a major city in Wutong Prefecture as a Seventh-Grade Guardian."

"Second is to go to the Baoping State Demon Hunting General Mansion as a Seventh-Grade Personal Guard to General Ye Cang, providing support for your future cultivation."

"Third, before coming here, Yang Xiu of ’Baiyujing’ wrote me a letter, allowing you to go to the Demon-Suppressing Great Wall as a Vajra Sub-General, to experience hardship and learn boxing, creating a vast world for yourself."

As Pei Nanbei finished speaking.

Three choices formed in your mind.

[One, Guard an area: Serve as Guardian of Wutong Prefecture, wear a Seventh-Grade Crimson Robe, and continue to cultivate quietly, while preparing to head to Yunluan Mountain to ’attend the ceremony’ three months later, unlocking the location: Black Mountain City!]

[Two, Serve as a Personal Guard: Become a confidant of a fourth-step Demon Hunter General, paving the way for your future cultivation, unlocking the location: Baoping State Demon Hunting General Mansion!]

[Three, Have yet to visit the Demon-Suppressing Great Wall: With Xie Qiaoxuan’s peer Xie Qiao having entered the military at the Demon-Suppressing Great Wall to train; your competitor Xu Zuorong also emerged from there. You receive help from ’Baiyujing’ Yang Xiu, ensuring your survival, forging an indissoluble bond; thus, you also wish to join to forge your illustrious Fist Dao! Unlock the location: Northwest Border, Demon-Suppressing Great Wall!]

Pei Nanbei offered three choices, each representing a path.

And for Song Chai Xin, who had just experienced the turmoil at the Martial Temple, it seemed that it would be more prudent to find a place with backing rather than hiding in a remote small city.

Just...

...

In Black Mountain City.

Jixia, who had long merged his spirit with the Reincarnation Celestial Book, reacted when seeing the three characters "Black Mountain City" depicted on its first page.

"Black Mountain City!" he muttered the name, clenching his fists tightly, his expression shaken.

Even before this,

After obtaining the Golden Lock Jade Technique, as Song Chai Xin, he experienced everything belonging to the Xie Family through reincarnation, raising several doubts.

However, as he was merely an Outer City constable, not even having an official body before,

he didn’t know which Prefecture City, or which great state, Black Mountain City belonged to.

Amidst absolute information disparity, even with immense curiosity, he could only set aside his suspicions momentarily.

But now!

Upon hearing the words ’Black Mountain City’ from the Master of Baoping State, Pei Nanbei...

All the clues and threads seemed to connect: Wutong Prefecture, Golden Lock Jade Technique, breaking into the Black Mountain Outer City Government Office, the mysterious girl from the Xie Clan...

Causing Jixia to hesitate for a moment before his gaze became resolute.

Not to mention, if he went to Baoping State or even the Demon-Suppressing Great Wall,

he would certainly be constrained and would not have the chance to return within three months to Yunluan Mountain to ’return in glory’ and participate in the ’Primordial Pill’ ceremony, the third-step breakthrough intention of Song Brahman Mirror.

Aside from this,

Just the words ’Black Mountain City.’

Were enough to solidify his decision!

...

Jixia is Song Chai Xin, yet Song Chai Xin has no future memories.

But the two are the same person.

As Jixia made his decision.

Decades ago, in the timeline,

Song Chai Xin remembered the hardships at Yunluan Mountain with the Song Brahman Mirror.

Having experienced so much, would it not be monumental to don a light crimson robe and ascend the mighty mountain as a government guardian?

Would it not prove his two years of efforts to those who casually deemed Half-Demons as ’good or evil’ and to the orthodox disciples who styled themselves as demon slayers?

For himself.

And for the honor and vision of Song Brahman Mirror.

As for the Demon-Suppressing Great Wall...

Recalling the apparition of the military master in the "Fenghuo Langyan, Green Blood and Red Heart" as well as the prearranged letter from the ’Named Master’ wanting to bring him there, even though they had never met, Song Chai Xin felt deep gratitude towards Yang Xiu.

In his journey, despite its troubles and hardships, he had always found support at each stage through benefactors.

Like lamps illuminating the dark nights, guiding him through their faint glows, preventing him from falling into complete silence.

If given the chance, surely he would visit the Demon-Suppressing Great Wall!

However, not now.

Therefore,

"Lord Pei, Song Chai Xin has made his decision."

"I want to serve as a Guardian, fulfilling the role of the Seventh-Grade Town Guardian!"

Song Chai Xin’s tone was resolute and unyielding.

Having made a choice, he had no regrets.

Just like throwing out a punch, he moves forward with the tides of fate.

Then...

No turning back!
