After two months away, Xiao Yan returned to the Flame Alliance.
Upon his return, he could clearly sense that the Flame Alliance had grown considerably stronger than it had been two months earlier.
The Flame Alliance had recruited a full sixteen Dou Wang experts alone.
Aside from them, two Dou Huang experts had also joined, drawn by its reputation.
One of the two had offended the long-established Demon Flame Valley and wanted a powerful backer.
The other had come for the benefits.
The Flame Alliance treated its senior members exceptionally well. With enough contribution points, they could even exchange them for Dou Ling Pills, Emperor's Extreme Pills, and Sect Breaking Pills.
For Dou Wang and Dou Huang experts, this was an almost irresistible temptation.
Had the Flame Alliance not refused to accept heinous villains, its ranks would probably have been even larger by now.
Naturally, this rule also prompted many experts in the Black-Corner Region to grumble inwardly.
Damn it, we're all making our way in the Black-Corner Region. Why put on such lofty airs?
The Flame Alliance's leadership naturally knew how out of place this rule was in the Black-Corner Region.
Had an ordinary faction dared to establish such a rule, it might have offended some expert one day and been casually wiped out.
But the Flame Alliance was different!
The Flame Alliance had the strength to hold its head high.
Inside the magnificent great hall, Xiao Yan sat languidly upon the Throne.
Below him, to either side, sat Xiao Ding, Xiao Li, and several hall and division heads.
Aside from them, there were also experts who had only recently joined the Flame Alliance.
"Everyone, it's been a while!"
Xiao Yan swept his gaze over them, his laughter hearty and clear.
"Greetings, Alliance Leader!" everyone called out in unison.
