"What is this?"

The moment the heavenly soldier's waist tag arrived in Ancestor Xu's hand, he was startled.

Having served as a soldier all his life, he quickly recognized it as a waist tag, a soldier's tag.

"Accept it, Ancestor, please accept it quickly!"

Watching the evil ghost flying toward them, Xu Qingyuan shouted anxiously.

"Accept what?"

Ancestor Xu looked baffled, utterly clueless about Xu Qingyuan's intentions.

But just after he asked that, he heard a solemn voice coming from the waist tag, asking him, "Under the clear sky and the dark earth, I hereby command, don the armor and take your pay. Xu Zhaolu, I wish to summon you as a soldier, to fight on the battlefield, to guard the borders. Are you willing?"

"What?"

Xu Zhaolu was stunned once again, utterly confused as to why a voice was coming from the waist tag, "What... why is there a voice? What's this about guarding the borders and fighting on the battlefield?"

"Ancestor, please agree quickly! Say I'm willing!"

Seeing his ancestor's hesitance, Xu Qingyuan became even more anxious, and couldn't help shouting.

"Why does it want me to become a soldier, who's summoning me?"

Xu Zhaolu was still a bit hesitant.

In his previous life, he was a guerrilla general and had held posts all his life. Now, suddenly, he heard a voice saying it wants to summon him as a soldier, and he was momentarily unable to respond.

In the end, perhaps he had spent too long as an official, the sudden demotion to being a mere soldier was a little hard for him to accept.

"Agree quickly! Agree quickly! Are you trying to get our whole family killed? Say 'I'm willing'!"

Xu Qingyuan was in a state of great anxiety. Had not the person before his eyes been his ancestor, he would likely have been cursing out loud already.

"Jie jie!"

The evil ghost flew over, letting out a proud and cruel jeering laugh.

Within this time frame, they had detected that even though they didn't know by what means Xu Qingyuan had managed to kill one of their comrades, clearly such a tactic wouldn't be in high quantity in his hands, otherwise he wouldn't be so anxious.

A mortal like him would make the best blood food for them.

The evil ghosts were exceedingly triumphant, jeering as they swooped in.

"Agree quickly, say 'I am willing'! Say 'I am willing'!"

In the face of such grave danger, Xu Qingyuan was almost on the brink of tears as he pleaded with desperation.

Ancestor Xu finally snapped to attention. Although he didn't know why Xu Qingyuan was so adamant that he accept, and what specifically he was supposed to accept, it was clear from Xu Qingyuan's tense demeanor that accepting would bring immense benefits to him.

"I am willing!"

Ancestor Xu replied solemnly.

"Buzz!"

The waist tag in his hand vibrated as if suddenly activated, a golden light shot out and entered Xu Zhaolu's body.

Carrying the vigorous energy of the battlefield, an imposing, solemn, and dignified aura permeated the air.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Zhaolu's appearance changed.

On his body appeared a suit of bright silver standard armor.

This was the armor of heavenly soldiers.

In addition to this, he had a saber hanging from his waist.

This was the standard weapon of heavenly soldiers!

"I...I..."

Ancestor Xu sat stunned, his face full of incredulity, yet also brimming with ecstatic joy, "I...have I become a heavenly soldier?"

Although in his previous life, he was a general, holding a not inconsiderable position.

But a mortal's official rank is still just a mortal's official rank, which couldn't be taken with him after death, and after his death, he was still just an ordinary Yin spirit.

Even though the Xu Family worshiped him specially, had built a temple for him, and even the emperor had bestowed posthumous honors upon him, none of that was of any use.

No use at all.

After his death, he remained an ordinary Yin spirit, the most commonplace kind of Yin spirit.

After a person dies, dust returns to dust and earth returns to earth, everything becomes equal.

What differed at most was that he had been a general in his life, his body was stronger than ordinary people, and the Yin spirit he turned into after death was a bit more robust.

That was all!

No matter how robust he was, he was still just an ordinary Yin spirit.

Against an evil ghost, he could probably hold it off by fighting to the death. But against a really malevolent ghost, he stood absolutely no chance.

Being surrounded and attacked by so many evil ghosts now, the old him would have only two options - death or surrender. There would absolutely be no third option.

However, now, with the appearance of the Bright Silver Standard Armor and the Standard Treasure Saber, his entire being had instantly changed.

Not only had his spirit changed, but he had also gained a strength he never had before.

A Heavenly Soldier!

Once conferred, he was no longer an ordinary Yin spirit.

He was now completely distinct from ordinary Yin Spirits.

"Haha!"

Seeing the transformation in their ancestor, Xu Qingyuan burst into ecstatic laughter, tears streaming down his face.

The ancestor had changed, he could see it. From the aura emanating from his body and the style of his standard armor and weapons, he knew that this was no ordinary soldier.

Yet at this point, he never would have imagined that his ancestor had become a Heavenly Soldier. If he had known this fact, he would have been even more ecstatic.

"Heh..."

The terrifying ghost who had been laughing maniacally suddenly stopped. Its laughter rapidly turned into surprise.

The image of Ancestor Xu startled them, making them feel a great threat.

Heavenly Soldiers, defenders of the Heavenly Court, the job itself has a divine and sacred undertone, it holds a restraining ability against Yin Spirits and Evil Spirits.

Upon turning around, five or six evil ghosts immediately fled.

They recognized the formidable force and knew if they were late, there would be no way to escape.

"Ancestor, what should we do?"

Seeing this, Xu Qingyuan hastily asked Ancestor Xu.

"Damn, fight your way out, haha!"

Ancestor Xu burst into laughter, his warrior spirit shined, he couldn't help but let out obscenities loudly.

After his death, he couldn't even defeat a single regular evil ghost. That was a huge blow for someone who had been a warrior in his previous life and this had led him to despair.

He had pent up his grievances for far too long!

Now, after becoming a Heavenly Soldier and the bizarre power surging out from within, he realized his strength and it boosted his morale.

Xu Qingyuan, upon hearing these words, was overjoyed. He followed suit and shouted, "Damn, fight your way out, haha!"

"You follow me and do not run around aimlessly."

Ancestor Xu hailed Xu Qingyuan, and suddenly unsheathed the Standard Long Saber from his waist.

The saber fired glaringly, emitting a surging sharp aura. It immediately forced the Yin Qi in the surroundings to retreat.

"Where are you going, die!"

Ancestor Xu swung his treasure saber and charged at an evil ghost.

His speed was swift, after becoming a Heavenly Soldier, he was much faster than an evil ghost.

Thud!

One swing of the saber and the ghost's head fell to the ground, transformed into black smoke, and died on the spot.

"Haha! Qingyuan, you collect the crystal."

While giving orders, Ancestor Xu wielded his saber and again burst into laughter, charging at the other evil ghosts.

"Aargh!"

The crowds of ghosts screamed in terror, constantly dodging.

However, they were underground, in a special space, the evil ghosts couldn't escape by passing through walls as they wished.

The evil ghosts only had two paths before them: either they fight a bloody battle with Ancestor Xu, or they escape via the Ancestral Blood Path.

Evil ghosts that swallowed the ancestral blood of the Xu family could also take the Ancestral Blood Path.

Several evil ghosts swiftly decided to ascend along the Ancestral Blood Path.

They didn't dare to engage in a bloody battle with Ancestor Xu and couldn't beat him either.

Their only option was to flee!

They were trying to escape by taking the Ancestral Blood Path outwards.

"Chase them!"

Ancestor Xu brandished his treasure saber and chased after them without hesitation.
