Setting Out
When the Elder Yingshan saw Mo Tang again, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
"This is Nine-star Dou Huang? That can't be real..."
Elder Yingshan sighed inwardly, realizing that the world of geniuses was indeed different from ours, and he was also puzzled about the purpose of the other party's visit.
However, when Mo Tang personally invited him to join the Wind Thunder Alliance, Elder Yingshan was still a little surprised.
"This... Thank you for thinking so highly of me, Mo Alliance, but I've always been used to my freedom and have no desire to join any faction..."
That's true.
Given Elder Yingshan's strength, if he truly wanted to join a certain faction, any faction in the Black Corner Region would likely welcome him with open arms.
This rejection was within Mo Tang's expectations.
So he showed no anger whatsoever, and instead said with a smile, "Senior Eagle Mountain, please let me finish..."
"Originally, this so-called Wind Thunder Alliance was just a game I created out of boredom, but who would have thought it would develop to this extent in such a short time."
"It wouldn't be my style to just leave like this, so I'd like to ask Senior Eagle Mountain to help me oversee the Wind Thunder Alliance for the time being. Once I return from Central Plains, if Senior Eagle Mountain is interested in visiting, please feel free to stop by my Wind Thunder Pavilion..."
Well, to put it bluntly, it's about using the promise of allowing the other party to join the Wind Thunder Pavilion as bait to get this old monster to work for him for free for several years.
For a powerful figure like Elder Yingshan, perhaps neither the Wind Thunder Alliance nor any other force in the entire Black Corner Region could arouse his interest.
But the words "Central Plains" and "Wind Thunder Pavilion" were enough to grab the other party's attention.
The Elder Yingshan was once arrogant and full of vigor, looking down on all the offers from the Black Corner Region, and eager to venture into the Central Continent...
He did go, but in just two short years, he fled back to the Black Corner Region in a sorry state.
Although he had faced numerous life-threatening situations in the past two years, the Elder Yingshan, who was only Nine-star Dou Huang, successfully broke through to the Dou Zong...
This shows that although the Central Plains is dangerous, it also offers many opportunities.
If I really get the chance to join a top-tier power like the Wind Thunder Pavilion this time, then things like before will never happen again. And who knows, I might even have a chance to advance further...
Thinking about all this, the Elder Yingshan was moved.
Seeing the changing expression on the other person's face, Mo Tang knew that he had achieved his goal.
With a gentle smile, Mo Tang awaited the other party's reply...
Finally, after a moment, the Elder Yingshan shook his head and smiled bitterly, saying, "Alright, Mo Alliance's conditions are really too tempting, I... agree."
"Welcome Senior Eagle Mountain to the Wind Thunder Alliance. From now on, we are all one family."
Mo Tang immediately expressed his welcome.
With a Four-Star Dou Zong present, the Wind Thunder Alliance can solidify its foundation in the Black Corner Region. Even if I and Xiao Yi Xian leave, there won't be any major problems.
Moreover, even if a Four-Star Dou Zong is brought into the Wind Thunder Pavilion later, he would be a very capable helper, so it can be said that it is a win-win situation.
Time flies, and another month has passed.
During this month, Xiao Yi Xian also successfully made another breakthrough with the help of the Black Emperor Sect, reaching the Three-Star Dou Zong level.
The Wind Thunder Alliance has now completely overshadowed many established sects in the Black Corner Region, and is showing signs of becoming the number one sect in the Black Corner Region.
There was no other way; with the addition of three more Dou Emperor and over ten Dou Wang in the past month, and even Mo Tang inviting two Fifth-grade Alchemists to oversee the alliance...
Since the death of Medicine Emperor Han Feng and Qi Shan, Sixth-grade Alchemist from the Black Emperor Sect, there are no more Sixth-grade Alchemist in the Black Corner Region. Therefore, these two peak fifth-grade alchemists are the most outstanding, and one of the important reasons why the Wind Thunder Alliance can attract so many people to join them.
With these people joining the fray, and with Elder Yingshan overseeing things, even if the Old Ghost Di Mo from Magic Flame Valley were to emerge from seclusion, he wouldn't dare to easily attack the Wind Thunder Alliance...
It can be said that the Wind Thunder Alliance has now gained momentum and has become an entity that can stand on equal footing with the Magic Flame Valley.
If Mo Tang's trip to Central Plains goes smoothly this time, and he can solidify the reputation of the Wind Thunder Pavilion that he has always held, then the Black Corner Region will be destined to respect him in the future!
If that's the case...
"It's time to head to Central Plains..."
Mo Tang looked at the white clouds in the sky and said softly.
Beside her, Xiao Yi Xian remained as quiet as ever.
"Wasn't this already decided? Why do you look so unhappy?"
Noticing Mo Tang's melancholy, Xiao Yi Xian asked, somewhat puzzled.
Shaking his head, Mo Tang smiled and said, "No, it's just that I feel that once I go this time, I probably won't have much free time to quietly watch the white clouds in the sky with you like this..."
Ever since his chance encounter with the Soul Hall members at the Black Emperor Sect, Mo Tang has felt a constant sense of crisis urging him on, as if the major events he remembered were about to happen ahead of schedule.
This gives him less and less time...
Although she didn't know what Mo Tang was thinking, Xiao Yi Xian didn't ask anything. She simply stretched out her jade hand and tightly grasped his large hand.
No matter what happens in the future, I will always, always, always be by your side...
Feeling the tenderness from the girl, Mo Tang deeply embraced her soft, delicate body, gently inhaling the fragrance of her hair. The slight hesitation in his heart had long since disappeared.
"Don't worry, I will always be by your side... your side."
I originally wanted to say "you," but then I remembered that I seemed to have other women, Mo Tang I changed my words a little awkwardly.
The Xiao Yi Xian was just feeling touched, rolled her eyes, but still rubbed her head against the man's chest, smelling his scent, and silently closed her eyes.
It must be said that sometimes, feelings don't necessarily have to be intense, like the sea drying up and the rocks crumbling, or earth-shattering...
Simplicity is the true essence of life, and going with the flow is the way to go forever.
Of course, this was said to the women with different personalities that Mo Tang had encountered. Whether it was Yun Yun, Xiao Yi Xian, or even the Queen, they were all the kind of women who would never change their minds once they set their sights on someone, which is why this old lecher Mo Tang was able to get his hands on them.
If this happened in his past life, he would undoubtedly have been called a scumbag by women and then kicked aside!
After making the decision, Mo Tang briefly arranged things, letting the original four members of the Wind Thunder Alliance jointly manage the alliance. He instructed them to consult Elder Yingshan for any unresolved issues. Then, he took Xiao Yi Xian and headed towards Tianya City, the only city in the Black Corner Region with Space Wormhole leading to the Central Continent.
