355: Second Elder of the Miscellaneous Services Department

Seeing this scene, Lei Zhentian looked delighted and smiled at Sand Sable and Sha Xiaomeng.

“Mm, not bad, not bad. You two have finally broken through to Quasi-Emperor. Hurry up and go undergo your tribulation.”

“Remember to be careful!” Lei Zhentian specifically instructed.

“Yes, Revered Master!”

“Mm-hmm, Revered Master, we will be careful.”

Sand Sable and Sha Xiaomeng nodded excitedly, then quickly flew beneath the Tribulation Clouds above their respective heads.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

As soon as the two entered the Tribulation Clouds, streaks of Heavenly Tribulation fiercely struck down upon them.

Seeing that the Heavenly Tribulation had arrived, Sand Sable and Sha Xiaomeng dared not be careless, using all their might to deal with the incoming Heavenly Tribulation.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Streak after streak of Heavenly Tribulation struck down, and at first, the two were able to handle them easily.

But later on, they were severely injured all over, relying entirely on willpower to hold on.

After nearly half a day, when the two resolved the final streak of the Quasi-Emperor Heavenly Tribulation and landed beside Lei Zhentian, they were both significantly injured.

“Revered Master, your disciple has fortunately lived up to expectations and managed to break through to Quasi-Emperor without major incident.”

“Mm-hmm, that was really close. This Quasi-Emperor Heavenly Tribulation is many times stronger than the Saint Emperor Tribulation.”

Sand Sable and Sha Xiaomeng, one saluted Lei Zhentian and reported the good news, while the other showed a look of lingering fear.

“Heh heh, as long as you managed to pass it, the process isn't important.”

Seeing that Sand Sable and the two, despite their injuries, had passed the Quasi-Emperor Great Tribulation.

Lei Zhentian was overjoyed and immediately took out two High-grade Healing Pills from his Storage Space for Sand Sable and Sha Xiaomeng to heal their injuries.

“Thank you, Revered Master!” Sand Sable and the two took the Healing Pills and swallowed them without hesitation, standing in place to begin adjusting their breathing. Before long, their external injuries had fully recovered.

Seeing that Sand Sable and the two had recovered from their external injuries.

Lei Zhentian did not say much, but walked directly to a Qingtian Guard who was protecting the Formation area nearby, cupped his fists politely, and said, "This Upper Sect Lord, may I ask where the Grand Elder resides? Your Subordinate is a newly joined Great Emperor from an Affiliated Force, specially here to report for duty to the Grand Elder."

Originally, he had planned to use his Divine Sense to directly locate Li Big Saber, but considering he was inside the Qingtian Sect and was new here, using his Divine Sense might offend some people. Therefore, it was safer to simply ask for directions obediently.

“Oh, a newly joined Affiliated Force?”

The Qingtian Guard merely glanced indifferently at Lei Zhentian upon hearing this.

Then, without asking anything further, he directly and thoroughly told Lei Zhentian the location of Li Big Saber's residence.

He wasn't afraid that Lei Zhentian was lying; this was the interior of the Qingtian Sect. If anyone dared to lie here, then today, every year, would be the death anniversary of Lei Zhentian and his group.

“Thank you for informing me, sir!”

Lei Zhentian cupped his fists and thanked the Qingtian Guard, then waved his hand toward Sand Sable and the others, saying, “Follow me!”

Having said that, he led Sand Sable and the group toward Li Big Saber's residence.

Outside Li Big Saber's manor in the Qingtian Sect Elder District.

Lei Zhentian slowly appeared before the manor, leading Sand Sable and his group.

“Your Subordinate, Lei Zhentian, specially comes to report for duty to the Grand Elder!” Lei Zhentian bowed and shouted toward Li Big Saber's manor.

Since he had not yet formally reported for duty within the Qingtian Sect, he could only use the identity of an Affiliated Force member.

Once Li Big Saber formally assigned him a position, he could refer to himself by his position and no longer have to call himself "Your Subordinate."

“Oh, Fellow Daoist Lei has arrived.”

Li Big Saber's voice came from inside the manor, and then he instantly appeared before Lei Zhentian and the others.

“Your Subordinates greet the Grand Elder!” Seeing Li Big Saber appear, Lei Zhentian once again led Sand Sable and the others in a unified salute to Li Big Saber.

“Mm, dispense with the formalities.”

Li Big Saber waved his hand and said to Lei Zhentian, “Fellow Daoist Lei, I have already arranged a position for you. Since you are only a First Level Great Emperor, the only suitable place for you in the Sect is the Service Department.”

“You will first go to the Service Department and serve as the Second Elder. When your cultivation improves later, we can make appropriate adjustments.”

His arrangement was completely reasonable.

One must know that the Elders of the other main departments in the Qingtian Sect are at least Peak Great Emperors, and Elder Zhao Da, Zhu Heizi, and the others are existences who have nearly finished transforming their Immortal Essence.

Therefore, for Lei Zhentian, a First Level Great Emperor, not making him guard the gate was already doing justice to his Great Emperor cultivation.

“Hiss, Second Elder of the Service Department?” Hearing Li Big Saber's arrangement, Sand Sable and the group secretly clicked their tongues in their hearts.

They had previously thought that with Lei Zhentian's cultivation, he would at least secure a decent position.

Now, he had only managed to secure a dispensable Service Elder position, and specifically, the Second Elder of the Service Department.

One must know that since the title is Second Elder of the Service Department, it means there is a Service Grand Elder above Lei Zhentian.

In other words, Lei Zhentian could only be considered a deputy—the kind of deputy who only does work but receives no credit.

“Thank you, Grand Elder! Your Subordinate will certainly arrange the service tasks well!” Upon receiving Li Big Saber's appointment, Lei Zhentian showed no dissatisfaction; instead, he bowed and thanked him with a look of joy.

Although Li Big Saber only gave him the position of Second Elder of the Service Department, it was still an Elder position, after all! From now on, he would be a person of status in the Qingtian Sect and no longer had to refer to himself as "Your Subordinate."

“Mm, I will summon the Service Grand Elder and have him take you to the Service Department. You and the Service Grand Elder can arrange the specific division of labor yourselves.”

Li Big Saber nodded, sending out a message for Ancestor Wuji, the head of the Service Department, to quickly come and collect the new person.

Not long after Li Big Saber sent the message.

Ancestor Wuji scurried over to Li Big Saber's manor, cupped his fists with a beaming smile, and saluted, “Service Elder No Dust greets the Grand Elder. May I ask what the Grand Elder commands?”

“Mm, Elder No Dust, dispense with the formalities.”

Li Big Saber nodded. Once Ancestor Wuji straightened up, he made an introductory gesture toward Lei Zhentian beside him and said, “Elder No Dust, this is the newly arrived Elder Lei Zhentian.”

“I have arranged for him to become the Second Elder of your Service Department. Going forward, the affairs of the Service Department will be arranged by the two of you as you see fit.”

“Oh, Second Elder of the Service Department?”

Ancestor Wuji was also curious and glanced at Lei Zhentian.

When he saw that Lei Zhentian was only a First Level Great Emperor, he immediately understood Li Big Saber's intention.

After all, although a First Level Great Emperor is still a Great Emperor, among the Elders of the Qingtian Sect, they are only at the bottom. If he didn't have any special skills, arranging the position of Second Elder of the Service Department for him was the best he could hope for.
