Hundred Flower Valley Welcomes You
The original Cultivation Alliance was practically ancient history, a mere shell of its former self. This time, however, things were different. The Qingguang Sect had stirred up First Company of troubles, ultimately forcing everyone to clean up its mess, even disrupting the Fu Xian Island. In light of this, the major sects finally resolved to strengthen the Cultivation Alliance and make it truly effective. They couldn't let one sect's problems drag everyone down; fairness and impartiality were the Cultivation Alliance principles. Of course, this so-called Cultivation Alliance was entirely created by the Righteous Path and had absolutely nothing to do with the demonic path.
There are probably hundreds of Righteous Path cultivation sects, large and small, throughout the entire Huaxia Empire. There are large sects like Fu Xian Island with tens of thousands of disciples, as well as small sects with only one lineage. Some of these small sects even have only one person in the entire sect.
After discussion, it was decided that the Cultivation Alliance would be organized and managed by representatives from the top ten sects, with the executive council changing annually. The Ten Great Sects would take turns in charge, naturally to ensure fairness and impartiality. The first year, which is this year, would begin with Fu Xian Island. As for sects outside the Ten Great Sects, those willing to join the Cultivation Alliance would send one or two people to handle liaison work, but the Ten Great Sects would still play the leading role.
In truth, many smaller sects were unwilling to join, as the disadvantages outweighed the advantages. Aside from the constraints, how could small sects dare to cause trouble and invite the Cultivation Alliance to uphold justice? Who would dare to provoke the demonic Blood Demon Palace like the Qingguang Sect did? That would be suicide! But not joining was not an option! The Ten Great Sects issued a declaration stating that any righteous sect that did not join the Cultivation Alliance would be on their own if they encountered any trouble in the future. This meant that not joining meant being isolated and vulnerable, easily bullied, and without anyone to stand up for them.
However, the Ten Great Sects don't simply bully the smaller sects. For example, the operating expenses of the Cultivation Alliance are entirely shared equally among the Ten Great Sects, without making other smaller sects pay a single penny. The only requirement is that all members must obey the decisions made by the Cultivation Alliance, or face severe consequences.
To ensure fairness, the Cultivation Alliance was not placed within any Righteous Path sect. Instead, the Ten Great Sects jointly funded the purchase of a building in Hundred Flower Valley, a place that is neither righteous nor demonic, to serve as the organization's headquarters.
Yue Qianchou and his group were unaware of these things at first. When they arrived at Hundred Flower Valley with Quan Deming, Yue Qianchou was surprised. Why was the Cultivation Alliance here? After thinking about it, he understood. Perhaps only by placing it here would everyone have no objections. Otherwise, they wouldn't feel comfortable leaving it in anyone else's home.
Yue Qianchou was a little worried about how he would handle running into Yan Zixia again. After all, he had taken advantage of her before, and not just once or twice, but she hadn't missed a single opportunity to grope her curves. Seeing her again would be awkward!
As the saying goes, what you fear most is what happens. Upon entering Hundred Flower Valley, although the Palace Master of Hundred Flower Palace did not personally attend, she sent her son and daughter along with a group of disciples to greet the guests. Everyone here was from the Cultivation World, and although only a dozen or so people from Fu Xian Island had come, they represented a sect, so the necessary etiquette still had to be observed.
Upon entering the valley, they saw a distinguished young man and a beautiful woman standing at the city gate. They clasped their hands in greeting to Quan Deming and said, "Yan Zhuixing and Yan Zixia, on behalf of my mother, welcome the seniors from Fu Xian Island."
Quan Deming smiled and exchanged pleasantries with the two men, not daring to put on airs about being the most powerful sect in the world. He knew perfectly well what others might not know: his so-called "mother" was actually his senior sister, the biological daughter of his master and the previous sect leader Guan Dinghai.
Yue Qianchou spotted Yan Zixia as soon as he entered the city. Fortunately, he always liked to keep a low profile and stood at the very back when he came in. When things got bad, he instinctively hid behind the crowd. He didn't know if Yan Zixia had seen him or not.
The group from Fu Xian Island, along with their welcoming party, walked inside in a large throng. They saw a large crowd gathered around, mostly independent Rogue Cultivator, some righteous, some demonic— the Hundred Flower Valley sects came and went freely. Everyone was there to see the spectacle; after all, Fu Xian Island was renowned, and unlike other sects, it wasn't common for them to send out such a large group. They couldn't help but want to witness the grandeur of the world's number one sect.
The place where Hundred Flower Palace welcomed Fu Xian Island was 'Hundred Flower Inn', and it wasn't Yue Qianchou's first time here. As soon as the group arrived at the entrance of Hundred Flower Inn, people from other sects of the Cultivation Alliance had already arrived, with hundreds of people waiting there. The leaders of each sect came to exchange a few polite words with Quan Deming.
Yue Qianchou glanced into the crowd and saw quite a few familiar faces. He seemed to have met the leader of the Wangyue Sect back in the Demon Ghost Domain, and several female disciples behind him also looked familiar. The leader of the Qingguang Sect was none other than the old acquaintance Lu Wanqian, and the person behind him was even more familiar— Liu Zhengguang, whom he had once stripped naked and used his sword to his advantage.
"Damn! This is getting lively. What day is it today? What a tragedy!" Yue Qianchou groaned in pain, shrinking into the crowd.
There's a saying that goes something like, "You can run from the first day of the month, but you can't run from the fifteenth." He's so big, Fu Xian Island is so conspicuous, where could he possibly hide? There's also an even better saying, "Women are more meticulous than men." That's even more true.
A female disciple of the Wangyue Sect glanced over, immediately paused, and then whispered a few words in the elder's ear. The elder in charge of the Wangyue Sect's affairs had a slight glint in his eyes and looked at Yue Qianchou, who was hiding furtively behind someone.
Hua Ruyi, Hua Ruyi elder in charge of the Wangyue Sect, who was middle-aged but still charming, suddenly chuckled and said, "Elder Quan, I heard that your sect's outstanding disciple Yue Qianchou, has also come. May I ask who he is? May I see him?"
"Yue Qianchou is here? Elder Quan, we must call him over to see him!" The Daluo Sect was also in an uproar. The other sects were all somewhat surprised to see such a scene. Who was this Yue Qianchou? He was so famous that even the first and second ranked sects of the Righteous Path were so eager to see him.
Of course, they didn't know that the Demon Ghost Domain Trial was a secret between the top three sects of Righteous and Demonic paths. Lu Wanqian and Liu Zhengguang of the Qingguang Sect exchanged glances, both showing puzzled expressions. The name Yue Qianchou so familiar! Yan Zixia at the entrance of Hundred Flower Inn, searched through the crowd of Fu Xian Island with a gleam in her eyes, finally spotting the familiar figure huddled in the back.
"Yue Qianchou, come out for a moment and greet the seniors from all the sects," Quan Deming said with a smile as he turned around.
"You damned hag! I'll sell you to Africa! Would it kill you to say less?!" Yue Qianchou was seething with hatred. There were too many people, and to prevent him from being squeezed out, the disciples of Fu Xian Island had automatically parted to make way for him, revealing his true face.
There was no other way; whether he stuck his neck out or not, he'd still get stabbed. Yue Qianchou gave the crowd an awkward smile and walked over.
Lu Wanqian and Liu Zhengguang were both shocked, their eyes showing surprise. There are many people in the world with the same name, but if they have the same name and appearance, they can only be the same person. Moreover, a name like Yue Qianchou is rare. The other Qingguang Sect disciples also looked at Yue Qianchou with suspicion.
Shocked, Liu Zhengguang wanted to go out and confront them, but he was stopped by Lu Wanqian as soon as he took a step. Lu Wanqian gently shook his head and winked at the group from Fu Xian Island, signaling him not to act rashly. Liu Zhengguang glanced at the renowned members of the number one sect in the world and suppressed his impulse.
I had to resist! I heard that everyone from Fu Xian Island who came this time was extraordinary. The elder in charge was at the Tribulation Transcendence stage, and there were five Nascent Soul at the late Nascent Soul stage. On my side, the elder in charge was only at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage. Although there were five Nascent Soul Realm elders with us, we still couldn't possibly defeat them! This is the difference between the number one and number five in the world—the difference is enormous.
