Inside the quiet room.
Cheng Buzheng held the sleeping Murong Wanwan in his arms, his eyes fixed on the ceiling as an inscrutable look flickered through them.
After a long while, he let out a sigh and said, "You really know how to give me a difficult problem, don't you!"
Cheng Buzheng knew that returning to White Cloud Sect to hold the fort might seem to offer no benefits, but that was not the case!
Once he left the Supervision Hall, he could avoid the undercurrents within the Immortal Alliance.
Although he was now a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, those who truly controlled the Cultivation World's overall landscape were Spirit Transformation Venerables.
Unless one reached that realm, one could never completely take control of one's own fate.
Moreover, the implication behind Venerable Daoyuan's words during Cheng Buzheng's visit still kept surfacing in his mind—the eve of great upheaval was at hand!
And because of that!
There was no way the Immortal Alliance, such a colossal entity, could stay clear of the coming whirlpool.
The Supervision Hall would certainly be unable to avoid being swept into it as well.
There was no doubt about that.
Besides, there was nothing left in the Immortal Alliance worth his remaining for!
After all, once he broke through to the Nascent Soul Late Stage, only a scant few Spiritual Items in the Immortal Alliance would remain worth coveting.
Yet without attaining a sufficiently lofty position, one simply could not acquire such Spiritual Items.

To first obtain such authority within the Immortal Alliance...

And a patron was precisely what Cheng Buzheng lacked
