1633 Rejecting the Martial Alliance (1/2)
Qingfeng Li stared at the stocky man before him, lost in thought. He was considering whether he should join the Martial Alliance.
The Martial Alliance was a powerful organization and its influence spanned over the entire Crimson Fire Continent, with branches in the Imperial Cities of every country, but Qingfeng Li had his own considerations. He knew that, once he joined the Martial Alliance, he would be subject to their control and limitations. There were many stipulations that self-cultivators must obey once within the organization or they will incur punishment from the Martial Alliance.
Beside Qingfeng Li, Black Puppy and Li Yang were quiet; they were both individuals who had ascended to the Crimson Fire Continent from lower-tier planets. As they were unfamiliar with this continent, they could not provide any meaningful suggestions. Qingfeng Li had to make this decision by himself.
After a moment of silence, Qingfeng Li spoke, ”Sorry, I don't plan on joining any organizations for the time being.”
Hearing his words, the stocky man paused in surprise, a hint of disbelief flashing across his eyes. He was the Vice-Commander of the Martial Alliance's Lingyun Imperial City Branch and held a lot of power.
Besides, the Martial Alliance was renowned across the entire continent. Their Commander-in-Chief, a powerful master of the Spirit Royal Realm, had once battled with the Crimson Fire Emperor over the control of the planet. That was how powerful he was.
Across the entire Crimson Fire Continent, people saw joining the Martial Alliance as something to be proud of; it was their badge of honor.
This was the first time that the he had ever seen someone refusing to join the Martial Alliance. For a moment, the stocky man stared at Qingfeng Li with a strange expression. He couldn't understand what Qingfeng Li was thinking; this was such a great opportunity. Why did he refuse? Perhaps he did not know the benefits of doing so?
The stocky man looked at Qingfeng Li. ”You may not know the perks of joining the Martial Alliance,” he said. ”I can explain it for you. Once you become a member of the Martial Alliance, you can enjoy many benefits. You need only to make significant contributions to the Alliance in order to receive credit points. You can use these to exchange techniques, spiritual treasures, talismans, among other things. Even Supreme and Monarch Class techniques can be obtained through these credits.”
The middle-aged man stared at Qingfeng Li, his expression filled with pride. He knew that a self-cultivator's greatest dream was to reach the Spirit Royal and Spirit Imperial Realms.
The Martial Alliance possessed such Supreme Class techniques, and many self-cultivators joined the Martial Alliance specifically in order to obtain them. He was confident that Qingfeng Li would not be able to resist the temptation.
But, in the next moment, the middle-aged man froze in shock. He saw Qingfeng Li shake his head again, saying, ”I don't plan on joining any organizations right now.”
With that, Qingfeng Li led Black Puppy and Li Yang away from the Phoenix Palace and walked into the distance.
”What an interesting guy.” The middle-aged man mused as he watched Qingfeng Li's retreating form, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
The bulky man was a master of the Supreme Realm, First Level, but he had not mastered any Monarch Class techniques. It was for these techniques that he had joined the Martial Alliance himself.
Even the bulky middle-aged man himself could not resist the temptation of Monarch Class techniques. How was it that a young man, at the Spirit Emperor Realm Eighth Level, could?
The bulky man did not know that Qingfeng Li had practiced Immortal Class techniques. Whether it was the Heavenly Immortal Chant or the Mortal Purgatory Body, or even the Golden Flames, they were all Immortal Class techniques from the Ancient Era.
These Immortal Class techniques were far more powerful than the Monarch Class techniques the Martial Alliance offered. Naturally, Qingfeng Li wasn't interested.
Blinking her slender eyes, Li Yang gazed at Qingfeng Li. ”Big Brother Li,” she asked, ”Where are we going now?”
Qingfeng Li thought for a moment, then said, ”Let's find an inn to stay at first.”
The inns in the Imperial City were exceptionally lavish, each one designed to be luxurious to the extreme. The exteriors were made of veluriyam, and the exteriors were paved in crystal; it made an extremely beautiful sight.
