For a moment, the establishment of the new sect made all the light forces nervous. That night, many Sky-level sects received invitations from Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal to join the new sect. In many people's view, this was a show of strength, as if he was using his actions to tell everyone that the new sect wasn't afraid of any challenge.
It was rare to see a Sect established with such grandeur. In the history of the famous Heavenly Sects, the Reliance Sect was the one with the most momentum. However, most new Sects were established with the feeling of having three fires burning in them. Thus, Reliance Sect's reputation was the most resounding in the first and second years of its establishment. Later, as the sect leader, Patriarch Reliance, went to set up a school affiliated with the sect, became its headmaster, and began to work in the education industry.
Patriarch Reliance was a smart man. He understood the principle that a tall tree attracts the wind easily attracts trouble. It was precisely because of this that Patriarch Reliance, in the two years since the founding of the Sect, had deliberately suppressed its power. It could be said that he had a tacit understanding to maintain the balance between the Heaven-class Sects of the Light Faction.
The full name of the Sky Light Alliance was the Sky-level Sect Light Alliance Exchange Committee.
This was a non-governmental organization set up by Sky-level sects at or above the fifth level, and its nature was to manage finances.
Back then, the Sky Light Alliance had been established to deal with the cash flow problem of sects at or above the fifth level. The fifth level of a Sky-level sect was a watershed, and to reach it required at least a hundred or even a thousand years of foundation … Many sects that had reached the fifth level would basically run into a cash flow problem in the short term, which was why the Sky Light Alliance had been established.
Thus, Sky-level sects at or above the fifth level were now huddling together for warmth, just so that their level wouldn't drop so easily.
This was a little like the level jams in games. Some players who were good at playing would deliberately form groups of jams and organize actors in high-level games to maintain their own levels.
In fact, this phenomenon had been going on for a long time.
Unfortunately, whether it was the balance of power or the Sky Light Alliance, it was directly broken the night Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal announced the establishment of his new sect.
As of today, there were already 17 sects above the fifth level that had joined the Sky Light Alliance, accounting for 80% of the total.
Of the four that hadn't joined, one of them was a first rank sect, the Immortal Palm Tree Sect. Behind the Immortal Palm Tree Sect was the Huaguo Water Curtain Group. This was a subsidiary sect of the Huaguo Water Curtain Group, and its main business was nurturing various kinds of alchemists.
As for the remaining three sects, one of them was a Level 3 Sect, the Fighting Horse Sect. This was a subsidiary sect of the Xiao Clan. This sect operated a legal horse betting ring. The other was a Level 2 Sect, the Thousand Beasts Sect. This sect's main business was to raise spiritual beasts. The head of this sect was also an acquaintance of Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal, Crying Old Immortal. This was the vice president of the Pet Trainers Guild. In fact, Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal had already known Wei Zhi before he had met him.
The last third-class sect was naturally Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal's "General Office of Strategic Deception" …
A long time ago, the number of Sky-level light sects above the fifth level had been maintained at twenty. Now that a Sky-level third level sect had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, the first to feel threatened were the light forces that had joined the Sky Light Alliance.
Most of those who didn't join the alliance had backers behind them, so they disdained joining the alliance at all. The problem was that no one knew if their own sects would fall after Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal's new sect was established.
Thus, that night, the seventeen sects in the Sky Light Alliance gathered their brains and strength and began to analyze and investigate the nature of the "General Office of Strategic Deception."
How powerful were seventeen Sky-level sects above the fifth level?
For the time being, they still couldn't find out which force was behind Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal's new sect, but they had already thoroughly investigated the core members of the organization.
More than ten bigwigs were sitting in the Sky Light Alliance's conference hall.
They were all the leaders or deputy leaders of their sects, and had specially convened to discuss countermeasures to deal with Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal's new sect. Because of the urgency of the situation, some of the bigwigs who were too far away to make it directly used holographic projection technology to participate in the meeting remotely.
The president of the Sky Light Alliance was Lu Youming, the leader of a fourth-class sect called Cthulhuism Society.
Although Cthulhuism Society didn't sound like a proper sect, it was in fact a very proper and legal one. Its members mainly collected statues or figurines of evil gods from all over the world.
These crudely made figurines and sculptures often hid rare resources or even ancient scrolls of secret techniques. This was because a long time ago, there had been a time when the practice of sealing secret techniques in ugly sculptures was popular … They would break down and analyze these statues and figurines of evil gods, and finally resell the treasures they obtained at a high price.
At the same time, this leader of Cthulhuism Society was also a cosplayer.
Today, Lu Youming was cosplaying a character called Bubble Teapot.
Sitting in the president's chair, Lu Youming had a sharp look in his eyes. "Everyone … we're facing a huge challenge right now, and it's a critical time of life and death … This new sect is coming at us aggressively. What do you think?"
"This new sect isn't simple. My suggestion is to try and see if we can rope them in first." A sect leader of a fifth-class sect said, "This Great Death-Courting Senior isn't simple. I heard that he was able to escape death from Evil Sword God back then, so he definitely has an expert behind him. As for the other core members of the sect, none of them are simple characters … Cailian Zhenren, who's known as the Ex-Boyfriend Killer, Immortal Toya, the successor of the Thunder clan, Lightning Dharmaraja, and even that Director Zhuo, who's been in the limelight recently, have all joined as part of the inspection team … "
"That's right … this kind of line-up is unusual …"
Speaking up to this point, many of the people present sighed endlessly.
The sect leader of a fifth-class sect went on to say, "Of course, what worries me the most is that Crispy Noodles True Monarch, who we haven't been able to find a single clue even with the combined strength of our seventeen sects. I don't know if it's because I'm ignorant and inexperienced, but I've never heard anything about this Daoist name before … This Great Death-Courting Senior has always been cautious, and would never recruit someone he doesn't know. It's a little unusual for him to join out of nowhere. "
"Could he be a sect manager?" someone asked.
Sect managers were a profession that had become popular in recent years, and were mainly responsible for improving the overall economic situation of a sect after settling in. However, there had always been a vacancy in the manager circle, and many sects couldn't find anyone.
"I'm familiar with the sect manager circle, but I've never heard of such a person."
