“It’s me, what can I do for you?”
Even as he spoke, he had returned to the manor.
“So you’ve been hiding here? You’ve really made things difficult for me!”
The Alliance Hierarch looked around the manor, a sight so shocking that he almost spewed a mouthful of old blood. Such a huge mansion, were the people of Yushen Sect and Su Family blind?
How could they not find Xu Yan?
“How did I make things difficult for you?”
Xu Yan asked, a look of surprise on his face.
“Don’t try to frame me. Anyone who tries to take advantage of me will be reduced to ash!”
Xu Yan warned.
If this man hadn’t been an enemy of the Yushen Sect, he wouldn’t have even bothered to save him.
Fang Hao helped the Hierarch down, and Meng Chong, Su Lingxiu and others gathered around.
They curiously looked at the grievously injured Hierarch, who was clinging to life. Shockingly, this man was not in the early stages of becoming a Refining God Heavenly Man!
Red Cat and two others also came over, staring at the Hierarch with wide eyes, and curiously reaching out a claw to scratch at the Hierarch’s head.
The Hierarch: …
Surrounded by a crowd, he supposed the muscular bald youth was Meng Chong?
So these two men had been hiding in this manor all along and had never left. Were the Yushen Sect and the Su Family fools for failing to discover them?
“Cough, cough…”
The Hierarch coughed, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth. His condition was pitiful.
“Zhu Liang is hunting me down, and he will be here soon. You all should hide. If you’re found, it will be difficult to escape!”
The Hierarch took a deep breath and said.
“You don’t need to worry about this. Tell me, how did I make things hard for you?”
Xu Yan had an unfriendly expression on his face.
The Hierarch gave a bitter smile, “The Yushen Sect and Su Family have been searching all over Yuzhou for you and Meng Chong. They didn’t find you two, but we were exposed instead.”
So that’s what happened!
Xu Yan looked at him sympathetically, “You have a feud with the Yushen Sect and Su Family?”
An enemy’s enemy might not become a friend, but using an enemy’s enemy to annoy the enemy was a joyous thing.
“I wouldn’t say feud. It’s just that the Spirit Sect and the noble families don’t have room for people like us.”
The Hierarch struggled to sit up.
His injuries were serious, and he was basically crippled. It was inevitable that his strength would decline.
“Oh? Explain.”
Xu Yan curiously asked.
The Hierarch was silent for a moment, then solemnly said, “To tell you the truth, I am the Alliance Hierarch of the Yuzhou branch of the All Ages Alliance, and it consists of Loose Cultivators. The goal is to secure a place for the Loose Cultivators in the Ling Domain!”
Xu Yan was surprised, “You’re the Hierarch of the All Ages Alliance?”
“You know about the All Ages Alliance?”
The Hierarch widened his eyes.
The All Ages Alliance was still in its planning stage, still gathering strength, waiting for the opportunity to rise up and secure a place among the Spirit Sect and noble families.
Even though the Yuzhou branch of the All Ages Alliance was exposed this time, the Yushen Sect and Su Family didn’t know the name of the All Ages Alliance. They merely thought it was a developing Loose Cultivator power.
Xu Yan actually knew about the All Ages Alliance. Could it be that he and Meng Chong were talented individuals cultivated by the All Ages Alliance?
“I do!”
Xu Yan nodded.
Wen Yong was a member of the All Ages Alliance and was considered a talented individual within the Yuzhou branch of the All Ages Alliance.
The Hierarch spit out blood, feeling a sense of being utterly betrayed.
He turned his gaze to the others, were they all from the All Ages Alliance?
Shit!
He was the Hierarch of the Yuzhou branch, and so many members of his alliance were here, and he knew nothing about it?
“You’re kind of weak. You’re like this from a small injury.”
Su Lingxiu sighed.
This man was a Refining God Heavenly Man after all. How could he be so frail?
“A small injury?”
The Hierarch spat more blood.
I suffered a great loss, burned through my vital energy, used the secret technique of martial arts to escape, suffered great damage, and even damaged my foundation, and all you call this is a small injury?
“Of course!”
Su Lingxiu nodded, looked at Xu Yan and asked, “Big brother, shall we save him?”
“Let’s save him.”
Xu Yan pondered before speaking.
Since he’s the Alliance’s Hierarch of the All Ages Alliance, and has conflicts with the Jade Spirit Sect and the Su Family, whether it’s for irritating the enemy or out of consideration for Wen Yong, he should be saved.
It’s only a matter of one or two pills.
Su Lingxiu waved her hand, sprinkling the Golden Needles which pierced the body of the Alliance Hierarch. A wisps of eternal True Yuan was injected into the Golden Needle, and in an instant, it began to repair the ruptured and damaged meridians of the Alliance Hierarch.
Then she pulled out a jade bottle and popped a pill into the mouth of the Alliance Hierarch.
“Alright, after a few days of recuperation, you will be as good as new.”
Su Lingxiu nodded.
The Alliance Hierarch was greatly shocked, he could feel his damaged foundation had been repaired and his lost blood essence was being restored.
Within a short span of time, his injuries had already recovered by fifty to sixty percent.
“What…What kind of divine medicine is this?”
He was too astonished to speak.
“Just a common blood nourishing, body strengthening pill made from second to third grade Spiritual Medicine, which is not a divine medicine.”
Su Lingxiu beckoned and the Golden Needle flew back to her.
She turned and left, ending any further curiosity from the Alliance Hierarch.
“Meow!”
Red Cat followed her, pawing at her fawningly to plead for pills.
Meng Chong scratched his head and also turned to leave, continuing his cultivation.
The matter of the Alliance Hierarch was left to the Senior Brother to handle.
Shi’er, Zhou Ying, Meng Shushu left as well, it was only Fang Hao who was very interested in the All Ages Alliance.
After all, he’s from Ling Domain and he is a Loose Cultivator who holds ambition. The fact that the All Ages Alliance was striving to create a place for Loose Cultivators made him immediately interested.
“Alliance Hierarch, tell me about the All Ages Alliance, what are your plans, how will you compete with the Spirit Sect and the Aristocratic Families for a place?”
Fang Hao squatted in front of the Alliance Hierarch and curiously asked.
“Are you not from the All Ages Alliance?”
The Alliance Hierarch was startled.
“Of course not!”
Fang Hao shook his head in confusion, looking at him, “Why would you think that we are from the All Ages Alliance?”
“Then how did Xu Yan know about the All Ages Alliance?”
The Alliance Hierarch was shocked.
When did the All Ages Alliance get leaked out?
Xu Yan didn’t explain, after all, it was Wen Yong who told him. If he said it out loud, wouldn’t Wen Yong be punished for leaking the secret of the All Ages Alliance?
“Although I know about the All Ages Alliance, I am indeed not a member.”
Xu Yan shook his head, leaving Fang Hao to converse with the Alliance Hierarch. He left and planned to talk to the Alliance Hierarch about how to deal with the Jade Spirit Sect and the Su Family after his injuries healed.
“Master, what’s his level of strength?”
Xu Yan curiously asked.
The Alliance Hierarch was not in the early phase of the Refining God Heavenly Man, but due to his heavy injuries and weakened aura, Xu Yan couldn’t confirm if he was in the middle or late stage of the Refining God Heavenly Man.
“Late stage of Refining God Heavenly Man, it’s just that his strength is a bit weak.”
Li Xuan chuckled.
The Alliance Hierarch, a martial artist in late stage of Refining God Heavenly Man, was just too weak.
Of course, Xu Yan and Meng Chong were definitely not his match at their current level.
However, in Li Xuan’s eyes, he was still a little locust that can be easily crushed.
“Late stage Refining God, huh? The All Ages Alliance has some ability!”
Xu Yan seemed thoughtful. The only late stage Refining God in Yuzhou was Zhu Liang, the eldest elder of the Jade Spirit Sect, and the Alliance Hierarch was also at this level.
The Hierarch of one regional alliance was a match for the strongest person of one Spirit Sect in the same region. It shows the strength of the All Ages Alliance was not to be underestimated.
Li Xuan glanced at his disciple, contemplated for a moment, and said, “If you want to control people to serve you, you can start with their Divine Soul. Refining prohibitions with your divine will and sealing them into their Divine Soul, thus making their life and death depend on your thoughts.”
Xu Yan was stunned, thought for a bit and said, “The Alliance Hierarch is kind of righteous, I haven’t thought about using such measures on people like him.”
“Stick to your heart, and avoid being pedantic.”
Li Xuan nodded. He was just letting Xu Yan know about these secret techniques to control people.
The Alliance Hierarch is indeed a good person, he just reminded Xu Yan to escape quickly since Zhu Liang was on the chase.
On the other side, the Alliance Hierarch was explaining to Fang Hao about the All Ages Alliance, along with its ambition, vision, and purpose, to fight for a place for the Loose Cultivators!
To make Ling Domain more equitable, to break the order of ranks!
The dream was very ambitious, whether it could be successful, was yet unknown.
However, Fang Hao was so impassioned that he felt like joining the All Ages Alliance, and even asked about the constraints and rules of the All Ages Alliance.
Li Xuan did not object to this. It’s a good thing for a disciple to have dreams. Joining the All Ages Alliance would inevitably lead to conflicts with the Spirit Sect and the Aristocratic Families, and even competitions with the distinguished people within the alliance.
This would be conducive to Fang Hao’s rise, and advantageous for his Mysterious Door Martial Arts to show off its power.
