Unexpected Defection
The Demon Army could break through the seal at any time, and the Thunderbolt Bomb was a life-saving pill. Without the Thunderbolt Bomb, it was basically a declaration that the sect was on the path to destruction.
Many people wanted to explore the internal structure of the Thunderbolt Bomb and try to refine it. However, if they did not detonate the Thunderbolt Bomb according to the method given by the Cloud Alliance, the Thunderbolt Bomb would explode immediately.
As a result, the eight major forces lost many blacksmiths because they wanted to study the Thunderbolt Bomb privately.
It was not just the Thunderbolt Bomb. Within the Cloud Alliance, the sale of the Mind-clearing Pill had also become very popular.
Dismantling the Thunderbolt Bomb would cause an explosion, but decomposing the Mind-clearing Pill was not dangerous.
However, even the Immortal Gathering Pavilion could not refine the Mind-clearing Pill after a few rounds of decomposition.
There were even people who wanted to bribe the blacksmiths and alchemists within the Cloud Alliance to obtain information. In the end, not only did they not obtain any information, but the warriors who were sent to inquire about information were all killed by the Cloud Alliance.
On this day, when Mu Yun was studying the improvement of the Thunderbolt Bomb, a piece of news surprised him.
Eight guests came to the Cloud Alliance. Mu Yun was not unfamiliar with these eight guests, but he was not familiar with them either.
In the Cloud Alliance's main hall, Mu Yun sat at the head of the table and looked at the eight people below with a smile.
Eight Nirvana Realm powerhouses.
"Instructor Mu Yun, long time no see. You are indeed extraordinary. Once you encounter a storm, you ride the wind and soar into the sky."
"Lin Xiaotian, I didn't expect to see you in Zhongzhou. I am even more surprised!"
The person who came was Lin Xiaotian, the former Dragon Ranking Supervisor of the Seven Virtues College.
There was no news of this person during the battle that destroyed the Mu Family, but now he actually appeared in the Cloud Alliance.
Following him were the former special class instructors of the Seven Virtues College.
However, what surprised Mu Yun the most was that Lin Xiaotian was actually at the 3rd level of the Nirvana Realm. In these few years that they hadn't met, Lin Xiaotian seemed to have encountered a great fortuitous encounter.
"I have already stayed in the Southern Cloud Empire for a long time and wanted to come out and take a look. The things that I have seen and heard during these few years have also increased. However, compared to you, I am still far inferior!"
"Overseer of the Dragon Ranking, you're being modest!"
"Haha …"
Yi Zhanlong suddenly laughed and said, "Humble? In front of you, Alliance Leader Mu, we can only feel ashamed of our inferiority. How are we qualified to be humble?! "
"May I know the reason for your visit this time?"
Mu Yun asked the question that was bothering her.
"Surrender!"
Lin Xiaotian smiled and looked at Mu Yun.
Seek refuge?
Looking at Lin Xiaotian, a trace of doubt appeared on Mu Yun's face.
"Haha, Lin Xiaotian, you're at the 3rd level of the Nirvana Realm. You're much more powerful than me. Surrender to me? Moreover, in the Middle Ground, which of the eight great factions isn't more powerful than my Cloud Alliance? You've made the wrong choice, haven't you? "
"In that case, Alliance Leader Mu isn't willing to take me in?"
"That's not it. I'm just very surprised why you chose me!"
"Alliance Leader Mu will understand why in the future. However, Alliance Leader Mu can believe that I, Lin Xiaotian, am a man of my word. It's just that I really can't explain to you why now!"
After pondering for a moment, Mu Yun nodded with a smile and said, "In that case, I welcome the former Overseer of the Dragon Ranking and the seven special envoys to become the guest elders of my Cloud Alliance."
"Thank you!"
Lin Xiaotian seemed to have expected that Mu Yun would definitely take them in as her subordinates. There was not much surprise on her face.
"There's one more person. I think Alliance Leader Mu won't reject him. However, he didn't help when the Mu Family was in trouble back then. Perhaps Alliance Leader Mu has a grudge, so …"
"Grudge?"
Mu Yun laughed out loud and said, "Back then, when my Mu Family was in trouble, those who didn't stab us in the back were all considered my friends. Moreover, in that situation back then, even if he helped, he wouldn't have been able to save the Mu Family. Who is this person? Lin Xiaotian, just bring him here!"
"You trust me that much?"
"If I didn't trust you, would I have agreed to let you join the Cloud Alliance?"
"Do you still remember the name Swordsman Zi Ye?"
"Zhang Zihao, the dean of the Fengxian Courtyard?"
Mu Yun was slightly stunned. She nodded and said, "Of course I remember."
Back then, this person had expressed great interest in Mu Yun at the Seven Virtues College. He wanted to accept Mu Yun as his disciple, but Mu Yun rejected him.
However, later on, when the Mu Family was in trouble, he did not help.
Back then, although Mu Yun was furious, she also knew that even if Zhang Zihao wanted to help, he had no reason to.
And at that time, the Mu Family was bound to lose. How could they deal with it?
"Of course I welcome you. I still remember the name Swordsman Zi Ye."
"Haha … Lin Xiaotian, let me tell you, Mu Yun is not such a petty person, yet you still made me wait outside the hall."
At this moment, outside the hall, a figure suddenly stepped in. It was Zhang Zihao.
Swordsman Zi Ye was famous.
Today, Zhang Zihao still looked elegant, with starry eyes and sword-like eyebrows, and a heroic spirit.
"Welcome, Dean Zhang!"
"Haha, Mu Yun, now that the Middle State is in chaos, it's time for your Cloud Alliance to rise. It's not too late for me to cozy up to you now, right?"
"Of course!"
Mu Yun smiled slightly and said, "Men, bring the guest elders to their rooms to rest first. We'll set up a banquet tonight to entertain them."
"Yes!"
After the nine people left, Moyang, Lin Zhi, and a few others immediately came up.
"Master, I keep feeling that something is wrong!" Moyang said, "The Dragon Ranking Supervisors are the seven special envoys and Zhang Zihao. They were once in the Seven Virtues College and were not very close to us. After disappearing for nearly five years, the nine of them suddenly said that they want to join our Cloud Alliance. I'm afraid …"
"It's fine!"
Mu Yun waved her hand and said, "If they are spies arranged by others, we just need to wait and see. If they are sincere in joining us, then we naturally have to make good use of them."
"Lin Xiaotian is a person with extraordinary talent, and her cultivation speed is very fast. She is a person with great luck. If you look closely at the seven special envoys, they are all glowing. They don't look like people in dire straits at all. They must have some secret to come to the Cloud Alliance."
"But no matter what they want to do, as long as they don't do anything bad to our Cloud Alliance, I can let them stay here. Now is the time to use them. They will be of great use to us. Let's observe them first."
"Yes!"
Looking in the direction that the few of them left, Mu Yun frowned slightly.
"Brother Mo, you have been in the Seven Virtues College for a long time. Do you know who these nine people have a good relationship with?"
"Zhang Zihao is the dean of the Wind Virtue Courtyard. He has the best relationship with his sword and is indifferent to the others. He hugs his broken sword all day long like he is hugging his wife. Lin Xiaotian's background is unknown. Back then, when this person rose to prominence in the Seven Virtues College, he was just like you back then. Oh, of course, he is not as crazy as you are."
"As for the seven special envoys, they were all elected by the ten elders back then. There is no question of who they are close to."
Hearing Mo Wen's answer, Mu Yun rolled her eyes.
It was as good as not saying anything.
These nine people were all strong practitioners in the Nirvana Realm. They were indeed worth recruiting. It was just that she didn't know what their purpose was, so it was difficult to determine if they could be used.
At the same time, Lin Xiaotian, Zhang Zihao, and the other eight people were gathered in a room. They seemed to be discussing something.
"Lin Xiaotian, Mu Yun won't suspect anything, right?" Zhang Zihao said with a frown.
"Suspect what?"
Lin Xiaotian replied, "If he suspects, can you still enter the Cloud Alliance?"
"Yes! Mu Yun will definitely be wary of us. So, in the future, it is better for the few of us to act separately. Otherwise, Mu Yun will suspect what we are up to. "
Yi Zhanlong said, "It's just that I don't understand why Master wants me to join the Cloud Alliance and not directly join him …"
"Whatever Master wants you to do, you just have to listen to him. Now, the Central Province is filled with smoke. Master has already calculated everything. Now, we just have to wait for the Devil Clan to gather again and break the seal. When that time comes, Master's plan will slowly surface."
"Yes!" Zhang Zihao also echoed, "We don't have to think too much. Whatever Master wants us to do, we will do it. As for Mu Yun, since Master wants us to work for the Cloud Alliance, then whatever Mu Yun says, we will do it."
"Yes."
"Yes!"
The eight people in the room nodded respectively, revealing an appraising expression.
Gradually, with the Cloud Alliance selling the Black Flame Thunderbolt Bomb and Mind Cleansing Pill, more and more warriors began to want to join the Cloud Alliance.
However, Mu Yun insisted that only warriors with clear and detailed backgrounds were accepted. Therefore, only a few warriors could truly join the Cloud Alliance.
But even so, there were already tens of thousands of people in the Cloud Alliance at this moment.
There were hundreds of Divine Realm warriors and more than 20 Nirvana Realm warriors.
In just a few months, the income of the Cloud Alliance was off the charts.
The Black Flame Thunderbolt Bomb and Mind Cleansing Pill had simply brought huge profits to the Cloud Alliance.
Especially the Mind Cleansing Pill. Not only did the eight major forces and warriors need it, but some ordinary people also needed it very much.
After all, compared to warriors, ordinary people found it more difficult to resist the demonic aura and demonization of the Devil Clan. If they were angry and killed their wives, children, and families, they would really regret it for the rest of their lives.
"Hmph, Mu Yun is a despicable and shameless villain!"
In the Sacred Pill Sect, Shengwu Yi's face was ashen as he looked at the thousands of Black Flame Thunderbolt Bombs below.
"Just these Thunderbolt Bombs cost our Sacred Pill Sect hundreds of millions of Spiritual Crystals. This Mu Yun is really hateful!"
Shengwu Yi's face was ashen as he couldn't help but shout.
"Big Brother, although we spent hundreds of millions of Spiritual Crystals, these 3,000 Black Flame Thunderbolt Bombs are enough for us to deal with the Devil Clan army. Moreover, the Mind Cleansing Pill is very cost-effective. It's worth it!" Shengwu Feng said.
"Worth my ass!"
Shengwu Yi couldn't help but curse. "I must kill Mu Yun. He's really hateful!"
"Big Brother, there's no other way. The Black Flame Thunderbolt Bomb and Mind Cleansing Pill are really too important when the Devil Clan invades. Even the Immortal Gathering Pavilion bought them from the Cloud Alliance. Heavenly Evil Island, Yun Family, and Green Shadow Blood Sect all bought them from the Cloud Alliance."
