After a while, Mu Zifeng arrived. After Bao`er served him tea and water, she withdrew obediently.
Mu Zifeng picked up his teacup and did not mention the tea. As he watched Bao`er leave, he smiled and asked, "How is it? Are you satisfied with the maidservant I arranged for you?"
Xiao Chen had known from the start that Bao`er might be Mu Zifeng's person. So, he did not say anything more. He said softly, "Bao`er is a good lady."
"It's good that you like her. I can arrange a few more for you. Take them as a reward for this mission."
"Pfft!"
Xiao Chen nearly spat out the tea in his mouth. He put down the teacup and caught his breath. Then, he said, "Lord Mu, you really know how to joke."
"Haha! You completed this mission pretty well. Unfortunately, the Seven Color Stone no longer has any divine nature …"
Xiao Chen added, "It is indeed quite unfortunate."
Mu Zifeng smiled faintly and changed the topic. "However, I heard that someone used the Snow God Whip to fight ten-odd Sovereign Emperors, looking very awe-inspiring. Word of this spread in the Abyssal Underworld. Several 1-Vein Sovereign Emperors shattered on the spot, not even leaving a corpse behind. "
Xiao Chen calmly spouted nonsense, "This person is really incredible. Incredible. It looks like Lin Feng is much stronger than I imagined."
"Haha! Let's not talk about this for now. In any case, even if we find the Seven Color Stone, there will not be much divine nature left. This is something that everyone understands. However, it is still too much to not have any divine nature left. The reward will definitely shrink. Don't even think about making a request to the Alliance Chief. "
Mu Zifeng laughed at Xiao Chen's nonsense. Then, he got down to business.
Xiao Chen did not care. In any case, this was how the Heavenly Alliance was. He could not say whether it was good or bad.
If Xiao Chen managed to bring back a Seven Color Stone that still had most of its divine nature, Hua Tianyang would not go back on his word. Now, Hua Tianyang wanted to make a request with just a pile of fragments. Clearly, he was not a fool.
"However, no matter what, the Snow God Whip is my Heavenly Alliance's holy relic. You and Lin Feng brought back the holy relic, which is a great merit. You have to be rewarded."
Now, Xiao Chen listened attentively to see what the reward was.
Mu Zifeng said, "What I'm fighting for is for you to rise by one rank and become a five-petal member of the Heavenly Alliance."
Xiao Chen felt slightly startled. He had not expected Mu Zifeng to give him such a huge gift.
A five-petal member could already be considered as one of the upper echelons of the Heaven Alliance. He had only been in the Heaven Alliance for less than two years.
"Lord Mu, I …"
Mu Zifeng waved his hand and said, "I know that you do not want to get too involved. I roughly know what you are thinking about this matter. You were the one who shattered the Heavenly Alliance's holy relic, right? Everyone has their own ambitions. I will not force you. "
Xiao Chen felt somewhat disappointed at Mu Zifeng's words. He could not help feeling apologetic.
After all, he had the ability to directly bring back the complete sacred relic, but in the end, he did not do so.
"You're quite similar to Mr. Peach Blossom. I didn't promote you to a five-petal member because I wanted you to continue climbing the ranks. I'm going to send you out. As a five-petal member, you can oversee a region and become an inspector. "
As Mu Zifeng spoke, he waved his hand, and a light screen of the Great Thousand Realms appeared before the two.
The light screen was densely packed, showing the entire Heavenly Alliance's territory. Seven colors separated the factions into grades. The different grades had different accumulations.
This was a shocking scene, showing a super faction in its entirety before them.
With the vast and boundless Great Thousand Realms as the background, the Heavenly Alliance's tentacles seemed to be everywhere in the Great Desolate Universe, the Mysterious Heaven and Earth, shocking everyone.
The highest was Rank 7, and the lowest was Rank 1. Xiao Chen took a look. The Heavenly Alliance's Grave Sea Cluster was divided into three grades.
"As a five-petal member, you can choose a Rank 5 region to be an inspector. You will be responsible for overseeing a region and managing all the Heavenly Alliance's subordinate factions in that region. However, in the eyes of others, you are still one of my people. So, you cannot embarrass me. You can rise by another grade and choose a Rank 6 region to oversee. "
Overseeing a region and being an inspector.
This was an extremely great authority with boundless benefits. It was like being a dynasty's governor. Xiao Chen could use all the resources within his territory as he pleased, having absolute authority.
Normally, only veteran members who had served the Heavenly Alliance for one hundred years or more could enjoy this honor.
Many people risked their lives to complete missions, getting squeezed dry by the Heavenly Alliance, all for this moment.
However, Mu Zifeng forcefully promoted Xiao Chen to this position, all for the sake of distancing Xiao Chen from the struggle for core authority in the Heavenly Alliance, fulfilling Mu Zifeng's wish.
Xiao Chen felt somewhat stunned as he said, "Lord Mu, your favor is so great that I cannot reject it."
Xiao Chen simply could not reject it. Overseeing a region would not affect his cultivation, and he would have ample freedom, countless resources, and ridiculously great authority.
Mu Zifeng smiled faintly and said, "I have always been like this. Since I cannot force you to be one of my people, I might as well do you a favor, one so great that you cannot reject it. Who knows, I might need your help in the future. "
Xiao Chen thought for a while, weighing the pros and cons. Then, he said, "Alright, I'll accept this favor."
Mu Zifeng smiled faintly, not feeling surprised. "Choose a place, then. You can choose anywhere in the Rank 6 region. However, you also have to consider whether or not you can suppress those people below you. The choice is still up to you. "
Xiao Chen nodded and started to make his choice. First, the outer sea clusters.
There were many special outer sea clusters with rich resources and abnormal Spiritual Energy, no weaker than the Central Great Realm. After going there, one would be like a local tyrant, suitable for the elderly.
There were also some outer sea clusters with strong natives, which would be of great help to tempering one's Martial Techniques.
However, in general, the Central Great Realm was the best. Many places gathered, and outstanding talents competed. There were also plenty of resources.
After eliminating the outer sea clusters, Xiao Chen looked at the three dynasties: the Tianwu Dynasty, the Shenwu Dynasty, and the Yanwu Dynasty.
The dynasties were where the Luck of the entire Martial Epoch was, where the various super factions gathered. There were countless Noble Clans and outstanding talents, gathering all the outstanding talents of the world. There were even many Demonic Dao factions.
The competition was the greatest, and the benefits were the greatest. However, the danger and pressure were also the greatest.
However, if Xiao Chen had to choose, he naturally had to choose the three dynasties. Given his vision and strength, he would go there sooner or later.
Right now, Xiao Chen was conflicted. Who should he choose?
First, he had to eliminate the Shenwu Dynasty. Then, he would have a grudge with the Profound Heaven Holy Land. There would definitely be a lot of trouble if he went there.
Next was the Tianwu Dynasty. Although Xiao Chen had a connection to Chu Chaoyun, he did not have a good relationship with that group of people.
After thinking about it, there was only one choice left.
"The Yanwu Dynasty?"
Mu Zifeng felt slightly surprised. He said directly, "I thought you would choose the region where the eight great empires are. I fear that you will not be able to control the Yanwu Dynasty. In reality, the Heavenly Alliance is weaker than the other factions in that place. "
Xiao Chen frowned slightly and said, "You don't recommend me going?"
"Yes. The Heavenly Alliance's faction in the Yanwu Dynasty has not been able to expand. Although it is a dynasty, the benefits there might not be comparable to some of the outer sea clusters. For example, the Ink Sea Cluster. The Heavenly Alliance's faction occupies eighty percent of the area. It has sufficient resources and a connection point to the Bitter Sea, so you can go there to cultivate at any time. "
Mu Zifeng smiled and said, "Since you are overseeing a region, you naturally have to choose a suitable one. However, if you can really expand the Heavenly Alliance's faction in the Yanwu Dynasty, it will be a great contribution to the Heavenly Alliance. It will be several times better than the missions you have done in the past year. "
Of course, Mu Zifeng did not believe that Xiao Chen could do it.
He still preferred Xiao Chen to choose a more stable region. It would be fine as long as he was more beautiful. After all, it would be difficult to control the people in the dynasty.
Xiao Chen entered deep thought. Then, he said softly, "The Yanwu Dynasty, then. If there is no challenge at all, it would not be very interesting."
Mu Zifeng found this slightly strange. After some thought, he said, "As you wish, then. I will give you the certificate of appointment seven days later. I will also explain the details to you. Oh, by the way, as a five-petal member, you can upgrade the Alloy Battle Armor's full power once for free. Go and look for Ku Yun to handle this. Otherwise, I might not be able to assign you the best blacksmith. I will let him know. "
Xiao Chen thought to himself, This is pretty good. Coincidentally, I have a dynasty's sacred tool that needs to be repaired. I can handle this as well.
"You should make your preparations during these seven days. You have five slots that you can use. Find five people to oversee the Heavenly Alliance. If you cannot find anyone suitable, the Heavenly Alliance will assign them to you. "
Before Mu Zifeng left, he gave Xiao Chen some instructions before taking his leave.
After a long time, Xiao Chen recovered his wits. This happiness came too suddenly.
Xiao Chen could not understand Mu Zifeng. In the end, he underestimated this person. To think that he was so bold.
Since Mu Zifeng could not force Xiao Chen to stay, he gave Xiao Chen such a huge gift.
Even though Xiao Chen knew that Mu Zifeng still wanted to win him over, he could not reject him.
Xiao Chen could only say that he was still too inexperienced when dealing with people who climbed to the position of core Doyen.
