Chapter 2586: The Trial to Join the Nine Provinces

"Old Qian, what are you dawdling for? Hurry up and go… or I'll report you to Saint Emperor Xiao and have him punish you!" Red Spirit Dragon said with an unfriendly expression when he saw Qian Daoling didn't react.

Qian Daoling: "…"

"Fine!!" Qian Daoling gritted his teeth and agreed, though in his heart, he had already marked Red Spirit Dragon with a giant X, waiting for the moment he could slap him to death later.

That bastard was making him absolutely furious!!

To dare insult him like this in front of so many juniors!!

Qian Daoling gritted his teeth hard, and his figure disappeared.

The group of Geniuses and Prodigies who had come wanting to join the Nine Provinces were all stunned. Was this the strength of a Tatian Realm expert?!

Their jaws were almost hitting the floor…

"Hehehe… how about that?!" Red Spirit Dragon said triumphantly. "This is the prestige of the Nine Provinces."

Upon hearing this, the eyes of the Geniuses and Prodigies were filled with stars as they looked at Red Spirit Dragon.

Just by joining the Nine Provinces, one could even reprimand a Tatian Realm expert!!

"My lord, this lord, please find a way to let us join the Nine Provinces!"

"Yes, my lord, please find a way!"

"I am willing to shed my blood and sacrifice my life for the Nine Provinces!"

"Yes, my lord!!"

"…"

These Geniuses and Prodigies from the Hongtian Star Domain could barely contain their excitement; they were on the verge of kneeling before Red Spirit Dragon.

Even though this lord was only in the Zhanming Realm, he could order around a Tatian Realm expert!!

They also wanted to join the Nine Provinces!!

To become citizens of the Nine Provinces and receive the protection of Xiao Fan.

"This… I will go ask for instructions for you." Red Spirit Dragon rubbed his chin, thought about it, and said.

"Thank you, thank you, my lord!"

"My lord, thank you!"

"My lord… please go quickly!"

"…"

The group of Geniuses and Prodigies were incredibly excited and spoke in unison.

Red Spirit Dragon nodded. He found these Geniuses and Prodigies quite agreeable, so he decided to report this matter to Zhao Wuji and Ye Cang to let them make the final decision.

…

Inside the Great Hall of the Nine Provinces.

After hearing the news, Zhao Wuji and Ye Cang were astonished…

"Is that so?" Zhao Wuji said in astonishment.

"Yes, they are all outside the gate of the Inner Domain. They are all quite decent Geniuses and Prodigies, and I… cannot see their Realm…" Red Spirit Dragon said excitedly.

People wanting to join the Nine Provinces was definitely a good thing; it proved that the Nine Provinces now had a certain level of deterrence and influence, which was why this was happening…

"This…" Zhao Wuji rubbed his chin and thought about it.

Ye Cang was on the side, also lost in thought.

Originally, in their view, the development of the Nine Provinces just needed time; they could just cultivate the Geniuses and Prodigies of the Nine Provinces.

But having Geniuses and Prodigies from the Hongtian Star Domain wanting to join was certainly a good thing too.

At this moment, Xiao Li was not present; he was in seclusion to improve his strength.

Xiao Li was also a hands-off manager, leaving everything to Zhao Wuji and Ye Cang to handle.

"Bring them over; I want to see them myself," Zhao Wuji said in a deep voice.

He didn't trust Red Spirit Dragon's way of speaking and handling things, so he had to personally vet them.

Ye Cang nodded; he had the same thought. Red Spirit Dragon was too flaky; if he accidentally recruited a spy, it would be troublesome.

"Yes!" Red Spirit Dragon immediately agreed. He naturally didn't know what Ye Cang and Zhao Wuji were thinking, and was still feeling smug, believing he was deeply trusted.

A short while later, the group of Geniuses and Prodigies who wanted to join the Nine Provinces arrived at the Great Hall of the Nine Provinces and met Ye Cang and Zhao Wuji.

"So, you are the ones who want to join the Nine Provinces?" Zhao Wuji said with a smile. These Geniuses and Prodigies were truly decent… he couldn't even see the Realm of some of them!!

Not being able to see their Realm meant that the Realm of these Geniuses and Prodigies was even higher than his!!

"Yes, my lord. For the Nine Provinces, I can go through fire and water, and will not refuse even death!"

"Me too, my lord… please let us join the Nine Provinces!"

"Me too, my lord, I beg you!"

"For the Nine Provinces, I can offer my own life!!"

"…"

The group of Geniuses and Prodigies were incredibly excited, expressing their sincerity and willingness to have a Slave Mark planted on them, swearing never to betray the Nine Provinces.

"This… alright." Zhao Wuji thought about it, nodded, and agreed. Compared to other major factions, the Nine Provinces indeed had too few people right now.

Having Geniuses and Prodigies from the Hongtian Star Domain wanting to join was naturally a good thing.

"This… thank you, my lord, thank you, my lord!"

"Thank you, my lord… rest assured, for the Nine Provinces, for Saint Emperor Xiao, I am willing to die at any time!"

"Thank you, my lord!"

"…"

The group of Geniuses and Prodigies were incredibly excited, bowing and thanking Zhao Wuji with deep gratitude.

"However, don't be too happy yet. You are not people of our Nine Provinces; if you want to join our Nine Provinces, you need to go through a trial." Zhao Wuji thought about it and said.

"A trial?!"

The many Geniuses and Prodigies were stunned, not knowing what Zhao Wuji meant by this.

"That's right, a trial." Zhao Wuji nodded and grinned. "Later, tasks will be issued to you. Completing tasks will allow you to earn contribution points. When your contribution points meet the standard and you have proven your loyalty, only then will you truly join our Nine Provinces and become citizens of our Nine Provinces."

"Do you have any objections?"

"…"

"No objections, no objections… we will follow the lord's orders!"

"Me too, I have no objections at all!"

"Everything will be according to the orders of the Nine Provinces and the arrangements of the lord!"

"…"

These Geniuses and Prodigies were just happy to have a chance to join the Nine Provinces; they didn't care about any task assessments.

One by one, they were uncontrollably excited, wanting to complete the tasks well so they could truly join the Nine Provinces later!
