Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister-Chapter 751 - 431: The Fifth Layer!

Inside a room of the Three Judicial Departments.

"Zongzheng was also selected?"

Zong Peng was quite surprised because they had arrived so recently, and he was well aware of his brother’s circumstances.

With average talent and no significant achievements, theoretically, he shouldn’t have been selected.

"Zongzheng wasn’t on the list before, but it seems Lord Wu Yue added him."

The young man spoke softly.

"Hmm!"

Zong Peng nodded slightly, "Got it, you may leave."

"Yes!"

After the young man left the room, "This time, I’ve owed a favor."

Zong Peng chuckled softly.

But it’s also good, perhaps his brother might have a chance to break through to the Dao Realm while cultivating in the Library Pavilion.

Cultivating there... the speed and the previously difficult areas suddenly become clear.

Everything seems to fall into place naturally.

The cultivation speed, it’s no exaggeration to say, is like a thousand miles in a day.

"Let’s hope so."

Zong Peng murmured, if he could break through to the Dao Realm, it would be safer to go to the Forbidden Place then.

Otherwise... he wouldn’t let him go this time.

Because Elder Zhan told him that the danger level of this Forbidden Place mission far exceeds previous ones.

There’s a high possibility that only a tenth will survive.

So he was advised to focus on cultivation, striving to reach the fifth-level perfect Dao Realm before going to the Forbidden Place.

Only then would he have a chance to survive.

"The pressure is considerable."

Zong Peng sighed, but then his expression became determined; no matter how dangerous, he had to venture into this Forbidden Place.

Without rules, he... wouldn’t even dream of the Minister of the Three Judicial Departments’ position.

...

If anyone was happy, it was Chen Xuan.

Originally troubled about how to get close to the Library Pavilion, he didn’t expect the opportunity to just present itself.

It was like getting a pillow just when feeling sleepy.

"Hope I’ll find something?"

Chen Xuan hoped in his heart.

After all, this is the Imperial Capital’s Three Judicial Departments, and closely linked with the Library Pavilion and Zhan Tian. He dared not act recklessly.

Otherwise, if caught, in such a sturdy space, escape would be impossible.

At the entrance.

Yan Hong was chatting with those in white he was acquainted with.

Of course, most were congratulating him.

After a while, only the two of them were left at the entrance.

"Murong, let’s go to my place and have a good drink to celebrate today."

Yan Hong pulled Chen Xuan to his territory.

"Alright!"

He gladly agreed.

After all, there’s nothing going on now, they could go to the Library Pavilion together tomorrow.

Yan Hong’s place was on the south side’s third floor, not too far from the Three Judicial Departments.

Although they couldn’t fly through the sky, by using some Spiritual Power, their speed was still swift.

In about half an hour, they arrived.

A three-story building.

With "Three Judicial Departments" written on it.

In the Imperial City, there are hundreds of Three Judicial Departments, given how vast the Imperial City is. The Three Judicial Departments maintain the city’s security, and less than that wouldn’t suffice.

And for the efficient management of so many departments,

The Three Judicial Departments have established many reward and punishment systems.

For instance, there’s an annual assessment and rating. For a lower grade, half the monthly salary is cut, and if repeated next year, it’s halved again from the previous half.

If still lower grade by the third year, they’re directly expelled from the Three Judicial Departments.

However, for a superior grade, the monthly salary doubles.

Average grades neither get rewards nor penalties.

Like Niu Chang, continuously superior for five years, not only does he earn much more than those in white, but he’s also prioritized as a Guardian of the Library Pavilion.

He’s just had some bad luck encountering a connection like Zongzheng.

Truly unfortunate.

"Master is back."

Upon entering the door, a young person in green clothes promptly approached.

In the Imperial City, green is the lowest rank, unlike the rMolan Mansion, which has a black rank.

Moreover, those in green aren’t allowed at the Imperial Capital’s Three Judicial Departments headquarters.

They can only stay here.

"Xiaohuang, prepare good wine and dishes; today, I’m going to drink my fill with Brother Murong."

Returning to his place, Yan Hong’s voice became louder.

"Congratulations, Master. Surely you’ve been selected."

This Xiaohuang was quick-witted, guessing instantly.

"Hahaha... Hurry up, perform well, and I’ll have a reward for you!"

"Yes, yes, right away!"

Xiaohuang quickly scampered off to prepare.

"I feel more relaxed in my own place. At the headquarters, I feel uneasy everywhere and have to bow and scrape to every master, it’s frustrating!"

"Ah, those in white, at the bottom of the Three Judicial Departments, have no choice."

Yan Hong said with a long sigh after sitting down.

"You’re getting there too, with this Guardian opportunity, perhaps you can achieve a Realm Breakthrough Dao Realm. With your years of contributions, promotion to gold shouldn’t be a problem."

Chen Xuan said with a smile.

In the Imperial Capital’s Three Judicial Departments, wearing gold ensures one is at the Dao Realm, but being at the Dao Realm doesn’t necessarily mean wearing gold.

To be promoted to gold, the first step is to apply to the Three Judicial Departments, which then conduct a thorough evaluation from head to toe.

Once confirmed with no issues, they then assess your contributions over the years.

Only if all factors are met will one be promoted to gold.

Though there are thousands of those in white, there are only a few dozen in gold, indicating how difficult it is to become gold.

But once becoming gold, both status and other aspects are a significant leap.

Even the major families in the Imperial City wouldn’t easily offend someone in gold.

"Indeed....!"

"A single word apart, worlds apart!"

With that, Yan Hong seemed like a different person, eyes shining with intensity.

Dao Realm!

He’s been waiting for this opportunity for several years.

But he quickly returned to normal, "You’re about there too, you should be able to achieve a Realm Breakthrough this time, right?"
