Chapter 488

Every single martial artist from the All Ages Alliance, who’d been refining their divine souls, was injured to some degree, yet their spirits were high.

The Spirit Sect of Yuzhou has suffered!

The injury is worth it!

As for the retaliation from the Spirit Sect, it had been expected. Even if they hadn’t raided the treasury of the Spirit Sect, they would still be surrounded and attacked, there’s no difference.

Xu Yan, Meng Chong, and Fang Hao arrived.

“Greetings, Alliance Hierarch!”

Yu Gao coughed up blood while respectfully saluting.

“Greetings, Alliance Hierarch!”

The rest of the divinity refining powerhouses also saluted in unison.

They all first turned towards Xu Yan, whose reputation was significant. Realization dawned upon them that the new Alliance Hierarch was Xu Yan!

“This is the new Alliance Hierarch of the All Ages Alliance in Yuzhou, Fang Hao, Alliance Leader Fang!”

Yu Gao introduced while coughing up blood.

The Left and Right Protectors stared in surprise; the new Alliance Hierarch was not Xu Yan but Fang Hao?

“Greetings, Alliance Leader Fang!”

Fang Hao sat down, saying, “All of you may sit. You all made significant contributions this time. Rewards follow merits. Each of you will receive one Revival Pill, a healing potion, and one Divine Soul Nurturing Pill, a pill to nourish the divine soul.”

With a wave of his hand, two small bottles for each person appeared, one containing a Revival Pill for healing and the other a Divine Soul Nurturing Pill.

“We thank the Alliance Hierarch!”

Yu Gao and the others were excited.

They were all familiar with the miraculous efficacy of the pills.

“The gains from this journey were enormous. The Spirit Sect’s two spirit mines have been captured. We will send people to take over them soon. However, before that, some arrangements need to be made within the Alliance…”

Fang Hao, using the seized power from the Spirit Sect treasury, officially ascended to the All Ages Alliance’s leadership position in Yuzhou. This marked the beginning of his leadership of the All Ages Alliance in competing equally with the Spirit Sect family.

“Keep the deacons and disciples of Spirit Sect that are within the spirit mines under control. They’ll mine Spirit Crystals for our alliance, but a divinity refining powerhouse will need to guard the mines.

“Although the Spirit Sect may not notice anything unusual in the short term, there is still a certain risk.

“I’ve already set up a formation in the spirit mines. It can resist the divinity refiners for a while, preventing them from quickly entering. This will give the guards time to escape.

“This task is critical. Left and Right Protectors, each of you should guard one of the spirit mines.”

Fang Hao looked at the Left and Right Protectors with a grave expression.

“Yes, Alliance Hierarch!”

The Left and Right Protectors responded respectfully.

Then, Fang Hao arranged some more tasks, like managing Alliance members, how to conceal oneself, maintain contact, and prevent traitors.

“I, Fang Hao, as the new Alliance Hierarch of Yuzhou, am young and inexperienced compared to those present. Today, there is something I need you all to know.

“Nobody must inform the main Alliance about matters concerning me, the magical pills, or the formations.

“Does anyone object? Of course, I’m not a dictator. I leave this matter to be decided by everyone. Do you support or oppose my decision?

“Although I’m the Alliance Hierarch, I will undoubtedly follow the majority’s decision!”

As Fang Hao spoke, he waved his hand, and a dozen or so jade plates flew out in front of everyone.

“My proposal is simple. Firstly, we don’t inform the main Alliance that I’ve been appointed as Alliance Hierarch. In the eyes of the main Alliance, Yu Gao remains the official Alliance Hierarch.

“Secondly, information about the pills, communication talismans, and other pertinent items shouldn’t be disclosed to the main Alliance and insignificant members. This is Yuzhou Alliance’s top-secret. A traitor who leaks this information will be dealt with harshly!

“This proposal is up to decide. Do you support or oppose it?

“If the supporters form the majority, everyone will act according to the decision and must not breach it. If the opposition is in the majority, I will withdraw this proposal.”

After finishing speaking, Fang Hao solemnly regarded everyone.

“To ensure everyone can express their authentic opinions without interference from others, make your choice on the jade plate. Do you support or oppose this?”

“Yes, Alliance Hierarch!”

The divinity refiners present all wore solemn expressions and simultaneously sighed inwardly. The new Alliance Hierarch was receptive and would consider others’ recommendations. This was a good thing!

As for concealing information about the Alliance Hierarch and magical pills and communication talismans, some felt that the main Alliance should be informed to attract its full attention and request powerful reinforcements.

Yu Gao picked up the jade plate, which presented three options: Support – Strongly Support – Intensely Support!

He was taken aback.

Where’s the ‘oppose’ option?

While Yu Gao supported Fang Hao’s decision, he was confused upon realising the absence of the ‘oppose’ option on the jade plate.

The Left and Right Protectors were in a similar predicament: …

They looked left and right, but the ‘oppose’ option was clearly missing. Puzzled, they wondered if Alliance Hierarch had forgotten to include it?

Yu Gao hesitated for a while before selecting the ‘intensely support’ option.

“Has everyone made their choices?”

Fang Hao’s serious demeanor remained as he withdrew all the jade plates.

After quietly scanning them, he nodded in satisfaction; the teachings and methods of his master really were extraordinary!

“Since everyone supports my decision, I am very pleased. This shows that everyone has a strong sense of confidentiality—a risk of information leaks is low. Therefore, everyone can divide these pills. I hope all of you can quickly enhance your capabilities!”

Fang Hao had a satisfied smile on his face.

He took a bottle of magical pills out and put them on the table.

The Left and Right Protectors and the rest were still baffled. On one hand, they wondered if Alliance Hierarch had forgotten to include the oppose option, and on the other hand, they suspected that Alliance Hierarch had already made a decision and didn’t allow any opposition.

Just as they were pondering over which possibility was true, they saw the magical pills and instantly broke into smiles. They were all aware of the extraordinary efficacy of these magical pills. With the aid of these pills in their cultivation, their abilities would surely level up.

Alliance Hierarch had just said that because the risk of confidential information leaking was low, he was distributing these pills.
