Shi Lang’s words caused the soldiers to shiver. They could sense that the man before them was not joking. He really thought that the absence of the generals was an act of disrespect. It was valid to some extent, after all, when the superiors return, it was the subordinates task to welcome them, they were the one who would gain more from the exchange of information and not Shi Lang.
Amelia looked at the surroundings and smiled at Shi Lang, if she could sense the presence of the Generals, then Shi Lang would obviously not miss out. The people heard his words and yet they were still holding back from stepping forward, it was definitely a test. Shi Lang smiled and looking at the void he said, “Since you wish to test me, then I shall give you what you desire. Kneel!”
With that, he held on Amelia’s hand and the seal of the supreme was invoked. The mark on his forehead was not akin to anything the people had ever expected. The soldiers knelt on the ground, their faces turned pale, and their foreheads dripped with cold sweat as they shivered in reverence and fear.
The fear that originated from the core of their being and instinct, as if the person before them can lay waste to not only them but even their thoughts completely was something they feared a lot. This situation was not isolated to the Federal Military Council Headquarters but the entire planet and even the people in the space station were able to sense his aura and were halted in whatever they were doing.
The twenty generals on the council table, who were watching it all from a distance shivered, they were not floating in the void anymore, they were all trying to stand on their own feet very desperately. The pressure on their minds was like nothing else.
Shi Lang didn’t stop, he continued to radiate the aura like a black hole that head no end.
…
On the Aries Command Center, many people were able to watch the scene unfold as the military journalists were broadcasting the grand welcoming ceremony throughout the federal territory.
One soldier, who was responsible for showing Yu Xeidi and her group around asked, “What is going on. This is a bit too much of a welcome, right? Supreme General Shi is a hero but kneeling like this is kind of putting him on a pedestal higher than the federation itself, no?”
Yu Xeidi sighed and said, “I was told by Baba, to not be rude to anyone, but do you people know what his authority is? Had this been the Immortal Plain, your superiors would have been ashes already for testing him like this.
Calling him over for a meeting and then trying to test if he is worthy of standing above them? Such disrespect to Emperor Shura is akin to a death sentence.”
The soldiers were surprised, and one of them asked, “Umm, Sister, can you tell us what is his status in the Immortal World?”
They were all curious, and when Yu Xeidi gave them a hint one of them took the initiative to ask. One disciple behind Yu Xeidi said, “He is the Hall Master of the strongest force in the Immortal Plain, Asura Hall. We work similarly to your special divisions, but we are more blunt.
He is the only supreme in the Immortal Plain, that seal on his forehead, is only attainable, when someone has mastered the path of Martial Art, Spirit, Alchemy, Artifact Forging, Array Formations and Inscriptions to the limit.
He is the only human who is capable of gaining acknowledgment from the Dwarf tribe for his skills in Forging. He is the only Alchemist with a hundred percent pill refining success rate at the Tribulation level, succeeded by Senior Sister Mei, Sister Xeidi is his successor in the path of forging and Junior Sister Meng is mastering the way of Formations. Not forgetting Shura Princess Shi Tao, who is an absolute command master.
His name in the Immortal Plain is enough to deter even the strongest forces. Forgive me for saying this, if one of us is to fight, we might take out half of your forces before going down, and Hall Master can take down hundreds of people who are thousand times stronger than us.”
The soldiers were shocked and one of the disciples said, “He is capable of reviving two people from the dead. Can any of your people or technology do this?”
This was a shocker, and Yu Xeidi said, “Enough! Let them experience what it is like to poke the Shura. We have our commands, we will follow them. Let us stop the tour now, we will start the sparring sessions in the morning tomorrow.”
The soldiers nodded, and then Yu Xeidi and her squad was shown to the rooms. Aries command center was bustling with activity. They wanted to see, if the disciples of the Shura were really as strong as they just posed.
…
After five minutes, Shi Lang took back the pressure but none of the people were able to stand back up on their feet. He watched them experiencing shame and humiliation before Amelia released some essence of the earth that vitalized the people.
She was akin to a life pod, that could revitalize the people by spending some of her spiritual energy. Her level might be insignificant on the Immortal Plain, but here, she could kill many people with just a glance if she wished to.
After five more minutes, the condition stabilized and Shi Lang asked, “Is this enough or shall I continue?”
Twenty people flickered before him and saluted him with their heads bowing, “Welcome Home, Supreme General.”
Shi Lang scrutinized the new faces of the general council and said, “At ease! Shall we begin the meeting now? I have to go and check my sister’s condition.”
The people nodded and they led him to the General Council’s new meeting hall. The Terran was surprised, he looked around and found the bust of the supreme generals placed on both sides of the corridors, and one of the Generals said, “These status serves as a reminder to us all of how to lead the federation without seeking personal gain or falling in the pit of greed.”
Shi Lang nodded and Amelia said, “What is the status of the Parliament? Those bureaucrats still exist?”
The military and the government were two different entities in the Federation. To answer her question, one General said, “They exist, but the younger generation is better than the old one. The influence of Lady Shi Qian, General Shi Tao’s daughter, has changed the dynamics a lot.”
