"Have you heard? The Alliance Master brought a young man back …"
"It's strange. The Alliance Master actually let that young man walk in front …"
"Could it be someone from the two giants …"
"That might not be the case. I heard that the Alliance Master had a good relationship with a young man in the Eastern Region. Perhaps it's that person …"
Because Jiang Feng had been acting as Feng Hao's bodyguard along the way, the Qi Alliance was in a heated discussion. Most of them were guessing about Feng Hao's identity. However, there were also some who had guessed Feng Hao's background.
After all, what happened in the Eastern Region wasn't covered up. As long as they asked around, they would be able to find out.
However, Jiang Feng's attitude made everyone puzzled. As a half-step Great Emperor, why would he lower his status to treat a young man?
A half-step Great Emperor acting as a bodyguard.
It was simply unimaginable. Hence, more and more people became curious about Feng Hao. Some people guessed that Jiang Feng wanted to give his position to Feng Hao.
This made many people frown.
They needed a powerful leader, not a young man who was still wet behind the ears.
After the two of them reached the peak, Jiang Feng told an old man that there would be a high-level meeting in three days. Then, he brought Feng Hao to his residence.
Jiang Feng's residence wasn't luxurious. On the contrary, it was extremely simple. It was just a small wooden house built at the peak.
To Jiang Feng, who was practically a living person, everything in the world seemed to be indifferent. He had taken his revenge. Now, his only wish was to repay this kindness.
Fenghao wasn't too surprised as he looked at the small wooden hut that was located at the edge of the cliff. He followed Jiang Feng into the small wooden hut.
"Old Jiang, it seems like the people here don't really welcome me …"
As soon as they entered the house, Feng Hao rubbed his nose and said in embarrassment.
He naturally understood Jiang Feng's intention.
Along the way, the strange and even hostile gazes made Feng Hao understand that even if Jiang Feng was willing to transfer the Qi Alliance to him, it wouldn't be easy to take over.
"Hehe."
Jiang Feng chuckled. He walked to the wooden table in the middle of the room and sat down. He looked at the sea of clouds outside the window and said indifferently, "This is a world where strength is respected. If you don't display outstanding strength, you won't be respected no matter how good you are in other areas."
He believed that Feng Hao would be able to do well. Moreover, with Feng Hao's talent and potential, as long as he displayed it, there was no reason for these people not to submit.
"Strength?"
Feng Hao heaved a sigh of relief and sat down at the side. However, he did not feel the slightest bit depressed.
He was confident that with his current cultivation realm, as long as his opponent wasn't a half-step Great Emperor, he still had a chance of winning.
"Three days later, I will announce my abdication and let you become the leader of the Qi Alliance."
Turning around, Jiang Feng looked at him with a serious expression.
"I'll be the alliance leader."
Feng Hao looked at him in shock. After a pause, he said, "Old Jiang, but I don't know how to do it well and I don't know how to do it …"
Indeed, Feng Hao's talent in cultivation was unparalleled. However, he knew nothing about the management of a gang. He had no clue at all.
"I'll teach you."
Jiang Feng smiled as he looked at Feng Hao who was at a loss. Sometimes, he couldn't help but treat Feng Hao as his junior, his grandson.
"Old Jiang …"
Feng Hao looked at him bitterly. The thought of having to worry about all the matters of a first-rate force made him feel a headache. "I'm really not cut out for this. I think the Qi Alliance is doing well now. There's no need to change it to me."
Indeed, because the human race was too weak, he needed such a strong army. However, he trusted Jiang Feng. Most importantly, he felt that he wasn't cut out to be the alliance leader.
He didn't have the ambition to rule the world and he didn't want to be competitive. His thinking was simple. He wanted to protect the people and things that he cared about. That was all.
Fenghao's reaction caused Jiang Feng to be taken aback.
He thought that Feng Hao would be overjoyed but he didn't expect Feng Hao to reject him.
Although the current Qi Alliance couldn't be compared to the top forces, it could be considered as the top among the first-rate forces. Such a force wouldn't be rejected if it was given to anyone. However, he couldn't see a trace of pretense or deception on Feng Hao's face.
"Old Jiang, you should continue to be the alliance leader. However, I'm still qualified to be the honorary elder." Feng Hao chuckled and patted his chest when he saw Jiang Feng looking at him.
He didn't want to be the alliance leader not because he couldn't learn, but because he wanted to slack off.
The alliance leader and the honorary elder were two different things. The so-called honorary elder was actually equivalent to a force's worshipper. He only needed to help out at certain times. Moreover, most of the time, the value of a worshipper's existence was to deter other forces.
At this moment, Jiang Feng knew what he was thinking but he didn't force him. Instead, he smiled and said, "After all that talk, you still want to squeeze this old bag of bones dry."
"Hehe, this is called the capable people do more work."
Feng Hao shamelessly flattered him.
"You're finding so many reasons to slack off."
Jiang Feng glared at him and didn't appreciate it. He paused for a while before he said seriously, "Because the Qi Alliance is developing too fast. Actually, it hasn't really become one yet. It's only because I'm suppressing it that the status quo is maintained. Therefore, even if you're an honorary elder, there will still be many people who oppose it. After three days, it's all up to you."
Currently, the Qi Alliance was made up of a few rogue cultivators and a few second and third rated forces. However, due to various reasons, they had joined the Qi Alliance. Hence, on the surface, the Qi Alliance seemed to be very powerful. However, it was actually divided internally. The only person who could convince everyone was Jiang Feng. If it wasn't for Jiang Feng, the Qi Alliance would definitely cease to exist.
"That's not a problem."
Feng Hao said with a smile. He didn't feel the slightest bit of pressure.
Time passed quickly and in the blink of an eye, three days had passed. Basically, all the higher-ups of the Qi Alliance had gathered in the meeting hall at the summit. At this moment, the hall was filled with noise. Among these people, Feng Hao was undoubtedly the one who appeared the most. There were also a few who were discussing matters regarding the Longevity Domain.
Without a doubt, Jiang Feng's high-profile appearance of bringing Feng Hao to the Qi Alliance had already given everyone a signal. However, in these people's eyes, there were many who looked down on Feng Hao.
