It was only then that Fang Xingjian thought of this problem.
It was because he had always been cultivating within the Empire's official system that he had subconsciously forgotten the difference between the Empire and the factions.
As the greatest faction, the Empire had always maintained a special balance with the factions among the people.
It was because the Empire's power was sufficient to wipe out any faction. However, the moment they started to wipe out a faction, all the other factions would join forces to fight against the Empire. By then, the world would be in chaos, and the people would definitely be plunged into misery and suffering.
There were still several big countries to the north of the Empire, as well as the Church. Therefore, they had always intentionally maintained this balance.
However, the balance on the surface was unable to stop the fighting in the dark.
As the saying went, heroes used their martial arts to break the law. Factions possessed great power and countless experts. It was impossible to hope that they would just focus on farming and doing business.
Countless sects were related to illegal businesses such as rape, murder, brawling, smuggling, gambling, and sex.
Although the Empire did not wipe out the factions, they would still capture the experts who committed crimes.
Over the countless years, although the Empire had not gone to war with the many factions, other than a portion of them slowly integrating into the government, most of the factions refused to submit to the Empire. They even fought with the Empire for students, resources, and talents.
If Fang Xingjian were to use his status as a Conferred Knight to suppress the Eternal Night Society and the other major factions, it would become the Empire suppressing the factions. The nature of the matter would probably become ten times more severe, and the other party might rather die than agree to it.
This was especially the case when Fang Xingjian had invented the Rebirth Sword Technique, causing the factions to lose students.
Fang Xingjian nodded. "I understand. Then during the period of time that we're attending the gathering, I'll be your Ice Palace's Elder. I'll help your Ice Palace to wipe out all the factions in the Great Western Region."
As he spoke, Fang Xingjian's body elongated and swelled up. He was activating his vital energy and blood, controlling his cells, and changing his appearance. In the blink of an eye, he had turned into a burly man with a height of over two meters.
He opened his mouth and let out a buzzing sound, as if countless steel pillars were striking together. "During this period of time, you guys can just call me the Vicious Knight."
In that instant, the Great Priestess was overwhelmed with emotions. As a level 22 second transition expert, she had never participated in a martial arts gathering of such a scale before. It had always been the Cult Master who had brought people from the Radiant Cult to participate.
This time, if not for Fang Xingjian's interference and her becoming the new leader of the Valley Alliance, she would probably have been suppressed by the Radiant Light Sect for the rest of her life, let alone leading a team to participate in the Gathering of the Sects.
Originally, she had been worried that her strength was far inferior to that of the Radiant Light Sect's Pope, and that the Valley Alliance would make a fool of themselves at the gathering.
However, to think that Fang Xingjian was going to make use of their Ice Palace's identity to sweep through the crowd... How could she not be excited? She was filled with anticipation for Fang Xingjian to sweep through the crowd and for the Ice Palace to become famous in the Great Western Region.
After a while, Fang Xingjian left. The High Priest was still smiling, but the Saintess could not help but say, "Master, this is not good, right? That was too offensive. "Moreover, although Fang Xingjian is amazing, the Eternal Night Society, the Illumination Society, and the Black Wings have all been famous in the Great Western Region for many years. There are many experts among them. Who knows how many experts are even more amazing than Fang Xingjian?"
The Great Priestess shook her head and said, "You're not a second transition expert, so you're not clear about Fang Xingjian's abilities. "The power he showed when he defeated that monster in the Radiant Cult … Even if he isn't at the top amongst second transition experts, he would at least be at the top. "Moreover, don't you understand? "Even if he can't really sweep through all the experts, he'll still be able to get into the top 20, or even the top ten. This is a good opportunity for our Ice Palace to make a name for ourselves. "I wonder how many more partners and disciples we'll be able to get."
The Saintess sighed, feeling that her Master was too optimistic. The three great factions had a strong foundation. They had several tens of second transition experts and five to six level 29 experts. How could they possibly be swept through so easily?
"Sigh, although Master has become the leader of the Valley Alliance, he's still the same as before. He doesn't have the foresight to see the entire Great Western Region.
"Fang Xingjian is too arrogant. Although his talent and abilities are great, if he were to go on like this, it'll only be a matter of time before he causes trouble and brings about a great disaster. "
Fang Xingjian turned into the Vicious Knight and followed the Ice Palace's people. Two hours later, they arrived at the foot of a mountain. It was the location of the gathering, the Dark Shadow Mountain.
Before they could get close, wild Knights dressed in black robes came up to welcome them. They were the Eternal Night Society's receptionists.
The people from the Valley Alliance were arranged to stay at a place on the Dark Shadow Mountain. The Great Priestess introduced, "The gathering will officially start tomorrow. Tomorrow, the Eternal Night Society's Night Sovereign will give a speech. Then, there will be exchanges and cooperation that will last for two and a half days. "There will also be resources such as heavenly and earthly treasures and ferocious beasts to be sold." From the fourth day onwards, there will be exchanges of martial arts techniques. The representatives from each faction will go up to accept challenges. Based on their results, they will definitely be allocated territories and various businesses for the next year. "In this aspect, the Illumination Society, Eternal Night Society, and the Black Wings have always been the strongest."
Fang Xingjian nodded. "Alright, let's go and see what kind of experts the three great factions have tomorrow."
"Oh, right." Fang Xingjian asked, "Help me look for a person …"
…
At noon the next day, the gathering officially started.
On the platform at the peak of the Dark Shadow Mountain, several thousand people were gathered, standing below the platform in a dense mass.
A fair-skinned and plump old man dressed in white robes with a layer of light circle behind him walked up to the platform with a grin. He was like the Buddha from the heavens.
The Ice Palace's Great Priestess said, "He should be the Illumination Society's leader. It's said that he's a level 29 expert, but it has been seven to eight years since he last fought. No one knows what level he's at now. "
The Illumination Society's leader started to give a speech on the platform. It was nothing more than something about unity, hard work, and peaceful exchanges. However, Fang Xingjian could still hear the faint sense of urgency in the other party's tone.
Tyrande, who was in the bangle, said, "It seems that they've also received some news. They might also want to make a big move in the martial arts sparring three days later. "
Fang Xingjian did not say anything. He merely closed his eyes and continued to make good use of every minute and second he had to condense specialty seeds.
After the speech, the exchange officially started. The Great Priestess brought her disciples to the various salons and got the Ice Palace's Saint to accompany Fang Xingjian to purchase heavenly and earthly treasures.
Walking into the market that had been temporarily set up on the Dark Shadow Mountain, the sounds of hawking came gushing over. The place was bustling with noise and bustling with activity.
Almost every faction had a stall here, and all sorts of items, be they valuable or ordinary, were displayed.
