Chapter 24

Everyone at the scene fell dead silent.

Then they all expressed submission.

Everyone knew in their hearts that after this battle, the Azure Cloud Sect would dominate Spirit Prefecture!

Spirit Prefecture all respect!

The first supreme sect to dominate Spirit Prefecture.

Upright day.

News spread.

A single stone stirred up a thousand waves!

In this battle, the strongmen of all major powers in Spirit Prefecture were almost completely slaughtered.

The three major hegemonic powers immediately took the lead in announcing that all participants in the great war would be expelled from the sect.

Although this was merely nominal.

After all, they had all turned to ashes.

But they still sent people to scatter their ashes!

Then they took out eighty percent of the sect's resources and sent them to the Azure Cloud Sect.

Submit to the Azure Cloud Sect, honoring it as the overlord of Spirit Prefecture.

This is still a major power with some foundation.

Some top powers, upon hearing the news of defeat, feared that the Azure Cloud Sect would settle scores later.

They fled, leaving both people and wealth empty.

The major powers reshuffled, and the sects that had not participated devoured weaker forces.

And they handed over all the resources they had seized to the Azure Cloud Sect in hopes of protection.

New sects sprang up like bamboo shoots after rain.

Mystic Moon City

"My ten thousand spirit stones!"

"Damn all the major powers, you truly deserve to die!"

"I can't believe I trusted you so much!"

In front of the gambling house.

Many people clutched their heads and wept, wailing heart-rendingly!

Nothing else.

They had bet on the major powers winning and lost everything.

Calling to heaven brought no answer; calling to earth brought no response.

"We got rich, we got rich!"

Only one person on the scene laughed loudly.

It was that older brother on the left who had pulled to the max.

He made a fortune, his basins overflowing!

Gamble a little, exchange Xiao Yu for a head token.

Now he can go out and enjoy himself tonight.

The news spread wider and wider, like a butterfly with long wings gradually spreading across the major prefectures of the Eastern Region.

Overlord Heaven City

Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion

"What are you doing!"

"You've rebelled!"

"Do you know where this is?"

"This is the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, a branch of the transcendent power of the Central Region—do you want to die?"

"Screw your mother!"

A big man rushed over and kicked the speaking man away with one foot.

"What the hell is the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion?"

"Now Spirit Prefecture belongs to the Azure Cloud Sect."

"We want to hand these resources over to the supreme sect; maybe we can snag a menial disciple."

"Brothers, grab your weapons and loot for me!"

Heavenly Martial City

"Alas! Rumors have misled me!"

"Who was the idiot who said the Lin family would surely perish and the Azure Cloud Sect would surely perish? Get out here, old man!"

The current Lin family can be said to have risen to the heavens in a single step.

Although the Lin family's overall strength is lacking, as a subordinate power of the Azure Cloud Sect, in Spirit Prefecture it can be said to be above all sects, under only one!

"It's all rumors that have misled the Li family!"

"If not, I would have brought my clan to side with the Azure Cloud Sect; now we would have soared to success!"

"Come on, you."

"You let me say a couple words, and you really went along with it?"

"As for you Li family, the Lin family at least is a top power and can still hold out a while."

"You Li family, a measly second-rate clan, what have you been doing? Go throw yourselves to death!"

When the major powers sneezed, your Li family was wiped out.

Qingyun Sect.

【"Congratulations host, you have completed the stage mission, fame shakes Lingzhou, would you like to claim the reward?"】

【"Main mission: fame shakes Dongyu, progress 2/10, please host keep going, upon mission completion a huge reward will be issued."】

Does this mission still have a stage?

System, claim the reward.

In Qingyun Dian, Feng Qingyang sat in the main seat, currently checking the system interface.

【"Reward claimed successfully."】

【"Congratulations host, you obtained five silver summon cards."】

【"Congratulations host, you obtained the Qingyun warship."】

Silver Summon Card: can summon Transformation Spirit Realm to Manifest Saint Realm.

Qingyun Warship: exclusive warship of Qingyun Sect, travels instantaneously across vast distances, can resist Manifest Saint Realm attacks, after charging can fire a light cannon (powered by spirit stones), power equivalent to a full-force strike of a Saint.

Great stuff!

I didn't expect this system reward to give Feng Qingyang another surprise.

No need to say more about the summon cards.

This Qingyun warship is truly great stuff—imagine commanding it in battle, mighty and imposing, then one blast blows the enemy to pieces; what a spectacular sight!

As for needing spirit stones to charge? Sorry, our Qingyun Sect lacks nothing more than spirit stones.

"Master, the storage room we just set up is full again!"

Shi Hao was helpless; just a few minutes later, forces came pulling several carts of goods.

Each pull brings ten carts, each load fills a sack.

Good grief! Resources are free, right? Sending them over so wildly.

Just half a day today, the storage rooms have been rebuilt five times.

I never dreamed there would be a day I'd worry about having too many resources……

"Just take the spirit stones."

"Return the rest of the melons and dates."

"All martial arts and cultivation techniques, send them back."

"Or just throw them away; these we Qingyun Sect have plenty of."

"Okay, Master."

Shi Hao went to collect resources again, feeling miserable.

Feng Qingyang again looked toward the Lin family members in the main hall.

"In this great war, even though your Lin family's strength is vastly inferior, you steadfastly stand with our Qingyun Sect—excellent!"

Just try to ask, in this cultivation world of the weak preyed upon by the strong, how many forces could manage that?

Not stabbing you in the back, or throwing stones when you're down, would already be good.

"Sect Master, this is what our Lin family ought to do."

"As the main sect of an affiliated force facing hardship, even if separated by tens of thousands of li, even if we perish together, my Lin family will not retreat a single step."

"Aren't you afraid of death?" Feng Qingyang stared into the eyes of the Lin family members.

You should know the situation back then—the Lin family was like an egg hitting a stone.

"Even if tens of thousands stand against me, I will still go forward!"

"Good! Very good!"

"From now on, as long as our Qingyun Sect stands, your Lin family will endure for all eternity!"

Lin Zhan did not realize how important those words were; looking back millennia later, he would also feel fortunate.

Of course, that's a story for later.

"Lin Bai, take your father to the Technique Hall to pick a few cultivation techniques and martial arts, then find your Senior Brother to get resources from one hall."

"Go."

The Lin family's strength is still too weak; we must quickly strengthen it to keep pace with Qingyun Sect.

Asking how to quickly increase strength?

Don't ask; the answer is to pour money and resources.

(Also cheat)

"Yes, Master," Shi Hao nodded respectfully.

"Thank you, Sect Master."

"By the way, Sect Master, I have another request."

Lin Zhan, who had just turned to leave, turned back again.

"Can we build a city a hundred li below Qingyun Sect?"

"A city?"

What a great idea—how did he not think of it?

Major powers all have their own exclusive cities, each renowned under heaven, standing firm, drawing resources from all sides.

Countless talents also come flocking for fame, to lay a solid foundation for founding a sect and recruiting disciples.

"Yes, that's a good idea."

"Let's call it Qingyun City; any lacking resources can be taken from the sect, and I will have the Elder hand this over to you."

If not built, then not built; but if built, it must be the best.

Furthermore, with the spiritual energy here being abundant and far surpassing that of the outside world, given time, Qingyun City will surely become the greatest city in the Eastern Region, and even the entire continent.
