Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 802 - Green Cloud Alliance
Chapter 802 -802 Green Cloud Alliance
“I’ve said it before, there’s no need to conceal one’s cultivation level in Taiwu City.”
In the peaceful courtyard restored to calm, Wang Chen sat in his chair, listening to Elder Yao’s complaints, “What’s the use of keeping a low profile? It only makes people think you’re easy to bully. In the end, isn’t it still about strength?”
He smiled bitterly and stroked the white fox in his embrace, “You are right, elder, I was wrong.”
Elder Yao “hmphed” and continued, “Just wait, someone else will come looking for you.”
Wang Chen was curious, “Who?”
But Elder Yao did not answer, falling into silence.
Wang Chen was helpless.
This Nascent Soul True Immortal had housed his true spirit within the Reincarnation Pearl, and just existing consumed nature’s spiritual energy, let alone the extra required to communicate with Wang Chen.
Since the nature’s spiritual energy in the Reincarnation Pearl was not easy to come by, naturally it couldn’t be squandered thoughtlessly.
Therefore, there were many things that Elder Yao would only hint at without providing Wang Chen with a detailed explanation.
After sending away the men from the Arrest Bureau, no one else came looking for him over the following days.
It seemed as if the incident had simply passed.
Wang Chen didn’t sit idly at home either, he roamed around the city with Hu Jiaojiao, to see if they could sense the presence of the Mysterious Fox Order.
The result was disappointing.
However, on the seventh day of his arrival at Taiwu City, as the sun set in the twilight, a visitor suddenly came to his home.
The visitor looked quite young, barely in his early twenties, with fair skin, red lips, and clear eyes, and donned a white robe with an elegant demeanour.
“I am Mo Han, the Governor of the Taiwu Pavilion. I have taken the liberty of visiting today, and I ask for Taoist Friend Wang’s forgiveness.”
Taoist Friend…
It had been a long time since Wang Chen heard this term, as opposed to the title “Governor of the Taiwu Pavilion,” which was not really anything special.
He returned the courtesy, “You overstate the matter, Taoist Friend. Please, come in and speak.”
This Governor of the Taiwu Pavilion was clearly a cultivator, and Wang Chen could tell that the other’s actual age was much greater than his appearance.
Preserving Youth Technique.
Once both were seated, Mo Han spoke straightforwardly, “Taoist Friend Wang, the people from the Arrest Bureau acted rashly and offended you a few days ago. I have already issued an order to punish them.”
Wang Chen was taken aback, “That’s not necessary, the headhunter was actually quite polite.”
Although he was a bit arrogant when he first arrived, his attitude was quite good later on. Wang Chen wasn’t the type to be petty and had not taken the incident to heart.
Mo Han shook his head, “Without rules, there are no standards. As a ruler, I must clearly distinguish rewards and punishments. Moreover, the family that coveted your beast pet has been seized, and the relevant parties are awaiting disposition. Such matters also require the listening to Taoist Friend’s opinion.”
Their whole family got raided?
Wang Chen was somewhat surprised, “Is it that severe?”
Mo Han sneered, “A mere mortal, daring to covet the possessions of us cultivators, their entire family deserves to be executed!”
According to the Governor of the Taiwu Pavilion, the one who wanted to forcefully take Wang Chen’s white fox was the eldest young master of a merchant family with some local influence.
The reason for trying to take the white fox was to please the daughter of a cultivator.
In Mo Han’s eyes, this was a direct path to their demise!
Although Wang Chen felt that, if he were merely a mortal rather than a cultivator, Mo Han definitely would not have come out to administer justice.
This also indicated how highly cultivators were regarded in Taiwu City.
A family with considerable strength was raided, just like that!
“I see.”
But Wang Chen was not foolhardy enough to speak in defense of the culprit. He nodded, “Then I’ll trouble you, Taoist Friend, to handle it according to the rules.”
There was no need for him to block someone else’s path to fortune.
And he had no intention of getting involved either.
However, this was not the main purpose of Mo Han’s visit today, “Taoist Friend Wang, are you aware of the Green Cloud Alliance?”
The Green Cloud Alliance?
This chapt𝓮r is updat𝒆d by ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom.
Wang Chen instinctively wanted to ask Elder Yao for advice.
But Elder Yao showed no response.
He could only say, “I am unaware of it. Could you please enlighten me, Taoist Friend?”
As it turned out, the Green Cloud Alliance was an association formed by the cultivators of the Taiwu Mountain lineage.
Unlike the Major Sects, the structure of the Green Cloud Alliance was quite loose, with the freedom to join or leave at will, and lacking any binding power over its members.
The initial purpose of establishing the Green Cloud Alliance was to facilitate the exchange among cultivators.
For example, exchanging cultivation materials, sharing cultivation experiences, and so forth.
It has a history of over a thousand years by now!
To this day, the Green Cloud Alliance encompasses over eighty percent of the cultivators in the Taiwu Mountain area and frequently holds Dharma debate conferences.
“After joining, Taoist Friend can earn Merit Points to buy and redeem the resources you need.”
Mo Han said with a smile, “There are many things that you simply cannot buy in Taiwu City.”
Merit Points!
Wang Chen heard another familiar name.
He could be one hundred percent certain that the person who established this Green Cloud Alliance must have been a cultivator from the Haotian Realm!
After musing for a moment, Wang Chen decisively said, “I am grateful for your kind offer, Taoist Friend, and I am willing to join the alliance.”
He guessed that Mo Han must benefit from recruiting members, such as receiving bonus Merit Points.
“Good!”
Mo Han clapped his hands and laughed, “Taoist Friend will certainly not regret this.”
Saying this, he took out a pale gold invitation from his sleeve and handed it to Wang Chen, “On the seventeenth of this month, Taoist Friend can bring this invitation to the Green Cloud Palace on Taiwu Mountain to attend the Dharma debate conference.”
“At that time, Taoist Friend can formally join the Green Cloud Alliance.”
“Very well.”
Wang Chen took the invitation, “Thank you, Taoist Friend.”
“You’re too polite, Taoist Friend.”
Mo Han’s attitude towards him had clearly become much friendlier, and he laughed, “The Great Dao is heartless, the world is uncharitable, we cultivators must support each other, striving together for the grand undertaking of the Green Cloud!”
Taking advantage of the good mood of this Governor of Taiwu Pavilion, Wang Chen asked him many questions.
Although Elder Yao was a Nascent Soul True Immortal who had reincarnated twelve times, he now retained only a sliver of his True Spirit, making communication costly.
Moreover, Elder Yao had not been to Taiwu City for many years, and his understanding of it was still decades old. Time flies, and many things have changed.
It never hurts to inquire more about current matters.
Unfortunately, Mo Han obviously had other pressing matters. After half an hour of conversation with Wang Chen, he quickly took his leave.
They agreed to meet again in half a month, which was on the seventeenth of this month.
Just as Mo Han left, Elder Yao’s voice rang in Wang Chen’s mind, “The Green Cloud Alliance is no longer what it used to be; it’s a place where a bunch of wretched beings vie for power and profit. Why join them?”
There was a strong tone of disdain in the Nascent Soul True Immortal’s voice.
Wang Chen rubbed his nose, “To see if I can find some clues.”
Since Hu Jiaojiao had not sensed the Mysterious Fox Order, he could only think of alternative approaches.
“It’s useless.”
Elder Yao said, “What you need to do now is to unearth my secret vault, to help your little fox increase her tier, who knows, maybe by then she will be able to sense it.”
“Alright!”
Wang Chen clenched his fist, “I’ll go tonight!”
This period of wandering around in Taiwu City had another purpose: to ascertain the location of Elder Yao’s secret vault and to scout the surrounding area to facilitate tonight’s treasure hunt!
