As Fang Hao was the Alliance Hierarch of the All Ages Alliance, Li Xuan, being his mentor, naturally had to share some experiences on how to cultivate loyal people in the All Ages Alliance and secure his own position.

The demonic Lord, once renowned and ambitious, was eventually betrayed. In the end, he became a full demon, indiscriminately slaughtering the Spirit Sect clans and Loose Cultivators alike.

He called Fang Hao over.

Li Xuan imparted some of his experiences from his previous life to him, such as what he learned, saw, and heard. It depended on Fang Hao how he would apply them.

With Fang Hao’s cleverness, Li Xuan believed he could apply them well.

Fang Hao, with an excited look, internally marveled at his master’s wisdom. Just a few words resolved the problem that had been troubling him.

After passing on some experiences to Fang Hao, Li Xuan began to guide him in the mysteries of Martial Arts.

“Now that you have refined the Communication Talisman, what insights do you have?”

Li Xuan asked with a smile.

Fang Hao hesitated before answering: “Disciple has some insights about the transmission formation. I am confident that I can set up a formation capable of transporting thousands of miles away.”

Li Xuan chuckled, saying: “What I’m talking about is not formations, but talismans!”

The mysteries of Martial Arts include Formations, Artifact Refining, and Prohibitions. Therefore, the art of talismans should also be included.

After Fang Hao had refined the Communication Talisman, Li Xuan had an idea. Furthermore, it was very likely for Fang Hao to figure out the art of talismans.

“Talismans?”

Fang Hao was puzzled.

Li Xuan began to explain: “A talisman can be simply understood as a way to infuse needed prohibitions or even formations into it which, when activated, can instantly trigger the formations or prohibitions within the talisman.

“Talismans are single-use items. For instance, if you can infuse a transportation formation into a jade talisman, by activating it, you can teleport someone away.

“For example, if you can infuse the Phoenix Firetrap Formation into a talisman, once activated, it can trigger the power of the Phoenix Firetrap formation.

“Although this formation is single-use and its power won’t last for a long time after activation, it can potentially turn the tide when necessary.

“You could also refer to these talismans as talisman-formations!”

Under Li Xuan’s detailed explanation and guidance, Fang Hao’s eyes brightened. His mind was sparked: formations and prohibitions could be employed this way!

“Thank you for your guidance, master. I understand!”

Li Xuan nodded.

Excited, Fang Hao went to study talisman-formations. He believed that it wouldn’t take much time for him to comprehend the art of talismans.

In the following days, Fang Hao was busy researching the path of talisman-formations, using up numerous materials, and continuously improving the Communication Talisman and developing various formations.

All the spiritual medicine in the Dai Family’s treasury was in Su Lingxiu’s hands, and the Artifact Refining materials were given to Fang Hao. Such vast family treasures couldn’t be used up in a short time.

Su Lingxiu didn’t know how many pill formulas she had researched, even successfully refining pills that could integrate divine souls.

This was a poisonous pill!

Xu Yan and Meng Chong naturally had no shortage of pills. However, they didn’t spend much time cultivating with pills. Instead, Red Cat, Yu Xiaolong, and Little Ha were the most excited.

As their king, Red Cat took 30% of the pills supplied by Yu Xiaolong and Little Ha, so it gained weight recently and was not far from making a breakthrough.

All Ages Alliance’s secret hideout.

The Left Protector and Right Protector and other Martial Artists were all hidden here, never going out or even checking how the members at each stronghold of the All Ages Alliance were doing, to avoid revealing themselves.

One day, the stone door in the secret hideout shook and opened!

All the Martial Artists instantly became alert and prepared themselves. Even though this place was secret, there was no guarantee it wouldn’t be exposed.

A figure walked in.

“Alliance Leader? Alliance Leader, you are not dead?”

The Right Protector asked in shock.

With the Alliance Leader’s long absence, they all thought he had died, and were grieved.

Contrary to their belief, the Alliance Leader was not only alive but also was looking radiant, showing no signs of injury.

Right Protector knew that when he and Left Protector escaped, the Alliance Leader had already been seriously injured. Why was he uninjured now?

Left Protector’s injuries were not minor, only two-thirds healed up till now.

“What nonsense are you speaking? Were you wishing for my death?”

Yu Gao replied irritably.

“No, but Alliance Leader, when you left, you were in a horrible state. Even if you managed to escape, you should have some injuries, right?”

The Right Protector was full of doubt.

“Could it be that, Alliance Leader, you were hiding your true strength?”

A startled Martial Artist said as if realizing something.

“I almost died. However, I was fortunate too. Also, from today onwards, you don’t need to call me Alliance Leader anymore. I am no longer the Alliance Hierarch of Yuzhou. You can call me Great Protector.”

Yu Gao sat down on a chair and stated solemnly.

“Alliance Leader, you didn’t make a mistake nor violate the Alliance’s rules. If the total alliance wants to remove your title as the Alliance Leader, they need to inform us. Moreover, you also have backers in the total Alliance, who dared to remove your title as Alliance Leader?”

The Right Protector inquired in surprise.

Yu Gao waved his hand and said: “It’s not that the total alliance removed my position as Alliance Leader, I voluntarily gave up my position. Under the leadership of the new Alliance Leader, our faction will undoubtedly rise…”

The Right Protector and the others looked at him with baffled and suspicious expressions. A voluntary abdication?

Yu Gao stood up, solemnly looked at everyone and said: “Although Alliance Leader Fang is young, you must remember that from now on, you only follow the orders of Alliance Leader Fang. Whoever dares to disobey overtly but oppose covertly, don’t blame me for being impolite!”
