Of the five spots, who should I choose?
Naturally, the first ones that came to Xiao Chen's mind were Saber Demon Wu Meng, Spear Sovereign Mo Yu, Yun Fei, who came from the Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor with him, and Nangong Feng, who came from Desolate City.
In the past two years, Xiao Chen had occasionally contacted these people. However, as he had just joined the Heavenly Alliance, he had many missions, so he did not have a proper gathering.
The task was arduous. In other words, he was as tired as a dog.
Take Xiao Chen as an example. He had practically never rested. Often, he would only rest for one or two days before missions came again.
This was especially so for the first year. One did not even have a choice. One had to obediently complete whatever mission one was given; there was no choice.
The Heavenly Alliance was an extremely snobbish organization. It was fair as well. Every Heavenly Alliance member cultivated in the Faux God World for ten years.
This was the greatest resource that the Heavenly Alliance provided. The pressure on the members was just a form of extortion.
If these people were given another chance, they would still choose to join the Heavenly Alliance. There were simply too many benefits to not entering the Faux God World.
Furthermore, the Heavenly Alliance's strict hierarchy gave the members something to look forward to, so they could endure it.
If Xiao Chen really said that he could bring them away from the Heavenly Alliance's headquarters and allow them to continue enjoying the Heavenly Alliance's resources, it would be a good thing.
As long as everything went smoothly, it should not be a problem to gather a few people.
Xiao Chen went to look for Yun Fei first.
The Heavenly Alliance members lived at the foot of the divine mountain, not far from each other.
In less than fifteen minutes, Xiao Chen arrived at Yun Fei's residence. He was so close that Xiao Chen felt somewhat startled.
Despite being so close, the few had only seen each other a handful of times in the past two years.
In the end, the Heavenly Alliance's system was somewhat unreasonable and too repressive.
Yun Fei just happened to be returning from his mission. When he saw Xiao Chen, he felt pleasantly surprised.
"Xiao Chen! Haha! It has been a long time. Why are you here? "
Yun Fei felt rather surprised. After leaving the Faux God World, the few had only met a few times. Furthermore, Yun Fei had always been the one looking for Xiao Chen.
"One does not come to a temple without a cause. I came for a reason as well.
Xiao Chen took out his Heavenly Alliance medallion. Five plum blossoms lit up in the snowy scene for five thousand kilometers on the back.
"Damn!"
Bai Yunfei jumped up in surprise. Holding the token in his hand, he rubbed it over and over again. It took him a while to confirm that it was real.
"Not long ago, Wu Meng lit up three plum blossoms. Nangong Feng and I felt that it was already very amazing. Unexpectedly, you actually lit up five. I only heard that you seem to have completed a very, very high-level mission. Is it related to this? "
Yun Fei could not be blamed for being shocked. It was too difficult to raise one's cultivation in the Heavenly Alliance.
The merit points awarded for completing a mission would be deducted once they were exchanged for resources. This was a very troublesome matter.
Under such circumstances, it was very difficult to save merit points.
When Xiao Chen suddenly told him that he was already a five-petal plum blossom cultivator, it was easy to imagine how shocked he was.
"Yes, but I can't reveal the details of the mission."
Xiao Chen nodded his head in agreement with Yunfei's conjecture. If it had been according to the original reward, Xiao Chen would've asked Hua Tianyang to have him become a six-petal member.
However, Mu Zifeng had obtained a reward for Xiao Chen, allowing him to oversee a region. In reality, this reward was even better than being a six-petal member.
"Congratulations. Nominally, you are already one rank higher than Master Peach Blossom," Bai Yunfei said with a smile.
The Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor had left with only four petals. Now, Xiao Chen was indeed one rank higher than the other party.
"Many thanks. However, this is not the important matter. I'll talk about it later. I already got someone to inform Wu Meng and Nangong Feng to come over. I'll explain the details then. "
Considering that there would be too many eyes in his residence, Xiao Chen did not invite anyone to his residence.
Instead, he chose Bai Yunfei's residence. Although this would be exposed sooner or later, he would do his best to hide something.
"How mysterious. However, we have not met for a long time. It would be good to chat more."
Bai Yunfei smiled and started chatting with Xiao Chen, waiting for the others to arrive.
Time passed. Wu Meng, Nangong Feng, and the others rushed over one after another. When they learned that Xiao Chen had advanced to a five-petal member, they were incredibly shocked and repeatedly congratulated him.
"Xiao Chen, everyone is already here. Can you speak about the important matter now?" Bai Yunfei asked with some anticipation.
Xiao Chen looked around. Bai Yunfei, Wu Meng, Nangong Feng, and Mo Yu were all friends that he had gone through life and death with.
While these people did not possess horrifying strength, they were definitely trustworthy. They were all one-in-ten-thousand geniuses with unlimited potential.
If they could follow Xiao Chen to the Yanwu Dynasty, they would definitely be of help.
"Due to the importance of this matter, I have to wait for everyone to arrive before speaking. Lord Mu promoted me to a Rank 6 envoy inspector. If there are no surprises, the appointment certificates will be issued in seven days. I have five slots, so you can come with me. "
Right after Xiao Chen spoke, Wu Meng and the other three revealed stunned expressions.
Nangong Feng put down his teacup and said, "Xiao Chen, I'm sure I heard right. You became an envoy inspector, and you are a Rank 6 one at that?"
This startled the others to their senses. Like Nangong Feng, they looked at Xiao Chen, wondering if he was lying to us.
A Rank 6 envoy inspector!
These were five simple words. However, everyone in the Heavenly Alliance knew how much weight these words carried.
Becoming a feudal official, ruling over a region, achieving meteoric success … these words were not enough to describe Xiao Chen. This practically meant that Xiao Chen could be said to be a powerhouse of the Heavenly Alliance.
Xiao Chen nodded slowly and smiled. "Do you think that I'm purposely joking around?"
The others calmed down and looked at Xiao Chen with complicated expressions. If Xiao Chen had advanced to a five-petal member, they would have been happy to congratulate him from the bottom of their hearts.
However, when they suddenly learned that Xiao Chen had become a Rank 6 envoy inspector, they found it unbelievable.
In comparison, the difference between their statuses and Xiao Chen's was immense.
After a long time, Wu Meng sighed softly, "Back then, on the Faux God World's God Conferring Platform, Xiao Chen, you said with great pride that only Heavenly Alliance disciples could ascend to the top. I knew that such a day would come. However, I did not expect it to come so soon."
Nangong Feng and the other two sighed in silence. The past events in the Faux God World were still vivid in their minds.
Back then, Xiao Chen wrapped himself in a bedsheet and rode a strong wind to charge into Paradise.
Under everyone's mocking gazes, he fought alone and coincidentally obtained the one-hundred-thousand-year requirement. Then, he took the lead and climbed the Heaven Bridging Peak.
Xiao Chen occupied the God Conferring Platform alone and fought against the outstanding talents of four super factions. That lofty aspiration and boldness had left an indelible impression in the others' hearts.
In hindsight, Xiao Chen had already shown the grace of a powerful overlord in the Faux God World.
Now, everything in the Heavenly Alliance happened naturally. If they had been the ones to ascend to the top back then, Mu Zifeng would have done the same.
"I'm fine with it. As long as Xiao Chen says the word, I will go with you immediately. I have missions every day. I've long since grown tired of them. I've had enough of this life. "
Yun Fei was the first to agree to Xiao Chen's request. During the early stages of the Heavenly Alliance, the two-petal period was the most difficult.
With so many missions, one would not only be physically and mentally fatigued, but one would not even have time to cultivate.
Yunfei was more than happy to have a chance to break away from this period of time.
Furthermore, the one who said this was Xiao Chen. In that case, he had no more worries.
"I'm fine with it."
Nangong Feng and Mo Yu agreed one after another. Of the four, only the three-petal Wu Meng had not spoken yet.
Without a doubt, Wu Meng was the strongest of the four. Now, he had just advanced to a three-petal Wu Meng.
After enduring the most difficult period, he might have a chance to become an envoy inspector like Xiao Chen in the future.
Facing everyone's fervent gazes, Wu Meng smiled and said, "My brothers are all going. There is no point in me staying behind alone. Good. This time, we will do something big. Xiao Chen, I'll follow you!"
The four laughed at the same time. A hot-bloodedness burned in their hearts.
"Many thanks to everyone for thinking highly of me, Xiao Chen. As long as I am around, I will not mistreat everyone."
Xiao Chen rejoiced in his heart, revealing a sincere smile on his face. No matter how strong he was alone, it was impossible for him to oversee a region without any trouble.
Furthermore, overseeing a region meant that he was an overlord and a powerhouse.
Given his status, it was impossible for him to handle everything. He had to have a reliable helper.
"Nangong Feng, Yun Fei, and Mo Yu, come with me. You can automatically advance to a three-petal Wu Meng. As for Brother Wu, it will be somewhat difficult."
Before reaching a three-petal Wu Meng, one could not leave the Heavenly Alliance's headquarters. However, Xiao Chen had this special right now. The people he chose could automatically advance to a three-petal Wu Meng.
Wu Meng already lit up three petals, so he could not help Xiao Chen light up another.
Wu Meng smiled casually and said, "It's fine. I don't care about these minor matters."
"In that case, everyone should make some preparations in the next few days. Before we leave, we should use this opportunity to exchange for all the resources we can in the Heavenly Alliance's headquarters."
"Alright, we will take our leave first."
With the brothers working together, Xiao Chen successfully gathered four people. There was still one spot left, but he did not really want to recruit cultivators.
It would be better to recruit blacksmiths, Alchemists, or people who knew how to do business. Xiao Chen wondered if he could borrow someone from Master Ku Yun.
