"If there is any matter in which our temple might mediate, this old monk would gladly offer what little help he can."
Those words made Mingxin Temple's stance clear: it favored stability and opposed hegemony, while also hinting at the possibility of cooperation.
The hegemonic conduct of the Thirty-Six Grotto-Heavens had almost become a common target of opposition for the other continents' colossal powers!
No one wished to be ruled by the Thirty-Six Grotto-Heavens, nor did anyone wish for the Canglan Continent to truly become the hub of
Tianlan Planet!
"With those words from you, Superior, all living beings under heaven are blessed."
Li Yunjing nodded with a smile.
Receiving such a declaration from the leader of the Buddhist Sect was already an unexpected delight.
Superior Golden Light did not linger. After the time it took to drink a cup of tea, he took his leave.
Immediately afterward, True Lord Caiyun, the ever-smiling chief manager of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, arrived uninvited.
"Well, well, Sect Leader Li, Your Majesty!"
"You both look even more splendid than before. You truly make this old fellow green with envy!"
True Lord Caiyun's voice arrived before he did. His rotund figure resembled a moving gold ingot, and his face brimmed with a merchant's distinctive, enthusiastic smile.
"Fellow Daoist Caiyun, you're a rare guest. Please, come in."
Li Yunjing smiled.
He dared not slight this chief manager, who controlled nearly thirty percent of the high-end resources circulating on Tianlan Planet.
"Hehe, how could this old man fail to pay a visit after hearing that your alliance had arrived?"
True Lord Caiyun rubbed his hands, his eyes narrowing into slits. He appeared to glance casually over the hall's furnishings, but his gaze was as keen as a hawk's. "Your alliance's bearing this time is truly extraordinary!"
