Tian Qing's face filled with horror at those words.
"Stronghold chief... what do you mean?"
"Is something going to plunge the world into chaos?"
Li Yun shook his head. "Let's not talk about whether that will happen yet. You wouldn't understand or believe me. Leave it to time; sooner or later, you'll know what's going on."
"If you trust me and truly regard me as your stronghold chief, listen to me. Seize every moment you can to grow stronger."
"Of course, now that I'm the stronghold chief, I won't stand by and do nothing for you."
"Here's what we'll do..."
"Starting today, you have two tasks."
Tian Qing straightened at once. "Your orders, stronghold chief."
Li Yun said, "First, gather Cultivation Techniques and Martial Arts. Whether they're ones you practice, ones the brothers here practice, or ones you collect elsewhere doesn't matter. Bring them all to me."
"I'll find time to look them over and give you some guidance."
"Second, gather information on the other strongholds in Crane Mountain. I may leave Crane Mountain for a while soon. Before I go, I'll unite it and turn it into one great stronghold."
Tian Qing drew a sharp breath. "Stronghold chief, you're leaving?"
Tian Qing had never expected to hear Li Yun say he was leaving, and anxiety seized him.
He suddenly realized that Li Yun might not value Guiyang Stronghold as much as he had thought.
As Tian Qing saw it, Li Yun had gone to Flying Crane Stronghold first, then taken Guiyang Stronghold in a lightning strike. Surely he meant to control both and use them as a foundation to expand his power.
If so, he shouldn't leave easily.
Yet Li Yun said he would be leaving soon?
Wasn't he afraid everything would change in his absence?
