Chapter 251: Phoenix Sun City (1/2)

”If we had to build this stronghold from scratch, it would take at least five years.”

”As expected of Alliance Leader Jiang. He had great foresight and prepared this transit point to the Eastern Region so early.”

”Eh? When did the Alliance Leader prepare this stronghold? How did you do it in such a short time?”

As they looked at the orderly buildings below, the higher-ups of the Great Mountain Alliance suddenly recalled that Jiang Li had only been appointed for a few days.

Moreover, they were the first batch to come out. How could they not know if he had mobilized resources to build a stronghold?

So where did this place come from?

The flying ship descended. The magnificence of the buildings surprised these higher-ups.

There were no signs of hurried construction. From the selection of materials to the completion of the work, they were all high standards.

At the foot of the mountain, there was even a mortal city specially set up to provide low-level labor for this base.

Could it be that their Alliance Leader Jiang had snatched the base of some great family?

Their guess was already very close to the truth.

”This is all thanks to the help of the Green Mountain Residence. Let's go down.”

The flying ship slowly lowered its altitude. There was actually a professional flying ship spaceport here that could dock more than twenty large merchant ships.

”Green Mountain Residence? Could it be that Green Mountain Residence in Nightless City?”

”I remember that they did join the Great Mountain Alliance, but shouldn't that be a business organization established by a Golden Core cultivator? I didn't expect that there would be such an organization in the Eastern Region.”

The top-notch spiritual qi living environment of the Green Mountain Residence in Nightless City was famous. Most of the disciples of the many high-level cultivation sects present had basically stayed there for a period of time.

They had heard of Green Mountain Ascetic, who was so generous that he did not treat high-grade spirit stones as a rare commodity.

”That Green Mountain Ascetic is not from our Great Mountain Region, but he can provide such a base for our Great Mountain Alliance. It seems that he has a deep relationship with Alliance Leader Jiang.”

Five flying ships full of supplies stopped.

”Alliance Leader Jiang, Elders, our Green Mountain Residence has accomplished the mission.”

The Great Mountain Alliance's flying ship landed at the spaceport and stopped steadily. Below, Green Mountain Ascetic stood there with six Golden Core cultivators who were also wearing masks.

”Alliance Leader Jiang, everyone from the Great Mountain Alliance, we have been waiting for a long time.”

After consuming a large number of pills from the Hundred Tempering Mountain, Jiang Li's strength advanced by leaps and bounds.

Even without the enhancement of the Nine Nether clone, he already had a powerful strength that surpassed ordinary Golden Core cultivators.

Therefore, he released the Nine Nether clone and brought the cultivators who had been subdued from the Hundred Tempering Mountain here.

With Situ Etong and the others' secret tokens, they successfully took over all the businesses here.

Then, Jiang Li discovered that the Hundred Tempering Mountain's backup plan was really very stable.

The cultivators guarding the base here were originally pure and innocent orphans. In their growth, they had never come into contact with the words 'Hundred Tempering Mountain'.

They did not know who their boss was at all. They only took care of everything here according to instructions and waited for the owner with the token to come at any time.

It was also because this encampment's foundation was sufficiently clean that Jiang Li handed it to the Great Mountain Alliance in the name of Green Mountain Residence.

On the one hand, the Great Mountain Alliance had just stepped out of the Great Mountain Region and indeed needed such a place to settle down.

On the other hand, Jiang Li also needed to plant a force that completely belonged to him in the Great Mountain Alliance. He could only be at ease when doing certain things.

”Elders, follow the people from Green Mountain Residence to find a suitable residence.”

”Green Mountain Ascetic still has a few shops in Phoenix Sun City. That is our first step out of the Great Mountain Region. In the future, everyone must quickly open up the shipping route to this place.”

”Along the way, we've encountered thirteen large-scale demon beast territories. In the future, it's impossible for us to follow the ship personally, so we'll try to communicate with those demons if possible. Otherwise, we'll directly eliminate them. Thank you for your hard work, everyone.”

”Uncle-Master Guangling, stay behind. The others can go and rest first.”

Jiang Li gave a few simple instructions. This was actually something that he had discussed at the Great Mountain Conference.

After letting the others go do their own work, Jiang Li asked Dongfang Guangling to stay.

As a Runic Array Master, Dongfang Guangling naturally had to be the first to arrive at a new place in the Great Mountain Alliance. Therefore, even Elder He did not come this time, he had to come.

”Alliance Leader Jiang, I see that everyone from top to bottom of Green Mountain Residence is wearing masks. Their origins and identities are unknown, and they have never shown their true faces to others. Can they be trusted?”

No one else said this, but their thoughts were similar.

Green Mountain Residence had not appeared for long, and its way of doing things was too generous, so generous that people could not help but doubt it. Coupled with the mask of everyone dying without leaving their bodies, it was indeed not very reassuring.

However, Jiang Li was helpless.

In the Mother River, during the battle with the huge Nine Nether Wood, Jiang Li had obtained a lot of spiritual root seeds and had already turned all the captives of the Hundred Tempering Mountain into his own people.

Currently, there were 6 Golden Core cultivators, 33 Core Formation cultivators, 517 Foundation Establishment cultivators, and 1241 Qi Refinement cultivators.

This was a huge force. They basically all had the useless skill of refining pills. They were excellent subordinates who could be used in battles and development.

However, the only problem was that these cultivators from the Hundred Tempering Mountain were all wanted criminals of the Great Mountain Region and could not show their true faces.

Before Jiang Li had the ability to change their appearances, they could only wear a mask.

”Uncle-Master Guangling, you should call me Jiang Li. Otherwise, it'll be rude of me.”

”As for the people from Green Mountain Residence, from the looks of it, they are trustworthy.”

”It was my suggestion for them to wear a mask. If our Great Mountain Alliance wants to develop well, we have to discard sectarian bias internally.”

”I know that the factional division in the alliance is actually very serious now. If this continues, it will definitely become a violent conflict.”

”Therefore, I plan to form another army in the alliance and let the elite disciples of the various sects join. After wearing the mask, there will be no name, no sect, and only a code. Doing this will eliminate sectarian bias and allow the Great Mountain Alliance to reach greater unity.”

”I'll mention this in the subsequent Great Mountain Conference. I hope Uncle-Master Guangling can help me as well.”

With Jiang Li's current strength, this was the best he could do. When he proposed a proposal, he had to canvass for votes in advance.

”Your thoughts are indeed reasonable… This is naturally not a problem.”

”However, Jiang Li, you asked me to stay. There should be something else, right?”

After all, Dongfang Guangling was Jiang Li's Uncle-Master. Jiang Li's decision could not harm the Scripture Storage Valley.

Therefore, the higher-ups of the Scripture Storage Valley basically did not disagree with his suggestion.

However, he was also a shrewd person and had long seen that Jiang Li had other requests.

Jiang Li chuckled as he took out a storage bag.

This storage bag was the one belonging to the Second Elder of the Hundred Tempering Mountain, Situ Tingxin.

Jiang Li had been worried that fortune would move people's hearts and had not opened it.

However, he was already a leader now. Although his authority was not absolute, it was not a problem to protect his own interests.

Moreover, the person he found was his Uncle-Master, Dongfang Guangling. He believed that there was no problem.

”Uncle-Master Guangling, please help me remove the restriction on this storage bag.”
