Chapter 341: Nurturing Trouble for Power
After discussing with everyone to focus on internal stability before addressing external threats, Xiao Ze made the final decision. Once everyone had left, Xiao Ze turned to Xiao Yi Xian and the others who stayed behind. "The other forces in the Black Corner Region are not a concern, but it's the hidden forces we need to watch out for. Although we could completely subdue them with the Sky Alliance's own strength, it would likely result in losses. I would need your help then."
Everyone nodded in agreement, knowing that at this stage, there are perhaps only a handful of Dou Zun in the entire Black Corner Region, and possibly none at all! With Xiao Yi Xian, Medusa, and Qing Lin in action, sweeping through the Black Corner Region would be easy.
The Black Corner Region, a lawless land, gained importance due to the Xiao Family and Canaan College being located here. Additionally, beneath Canaan College lies the ancient Emperor Tuo She's crypt, making it even more significant. Therefore, Xiao Ze planned to establish the Sky Alliance's main base in the Black Corner Region and manage it well, leaving no room for hostile or disobedient forces.
The unification of the Black Corner Region under the Sky Alliance went smoother than Xiao Ze expected. It was only after some investigation that he realized it was because the Black Alliance had already cleared it once, followed by the expansion of the Yunlan Sect. Thus, unification was surprisingly smooth; even the deeply entrenched hidden forces could not effectively resist against the foreign Dou Zun powerhouses.
Xiao Ze was stationed at the Sky Alliance's main base, which was previously Maple City. The city, having changed hands three times—from Han Feng to the Dark Alliance, and now to the Sky Alliance—was fittingly renamed Sky Alliance City.
Now, as the Sky Alliance progressed in unifying the Black Corner Region, Sky Alliance City's reputation soared, earning it the title of the number one city in the Black Corner Region. Due to the surrounding empires suffering from the remnants of the Yunlan Sect, many people lost their homes and livelihoods, forcing them to flee to the infamous lawless land of the Northwest Continent. However, once they arrived in the Black Corner Region, they found it to be not as perilous and terrifying as rumored. They soon realized that the Black Corner Region they heard about no longer existed, and the once lawless land was transforming rapidly, entirely due to the rise of the Sky Alliance. In fact, compared to the Black Corner Region, the surrounding empires seemed more like lawless lands.
The name of the Sky Alliance also attracted countless people to its main base, Sky Alliance City. Xiao Ze, present in Sky Alliance City, could feel the city changing almost daily. The influx of outsiders, despite the initial chaos, brought about rapid changes.
Sky Alliance City expanded at an incredible pace; its scale now justified its title as the foremost city in the Black Corner Region, even surpassing some of the ancient imperial capitals in size.
Xiao Ze, looking at the reports handed over by Qing Lin, skimmed through them and said with some emotion, "In just a month, the size of Sky Alliance City has tripled. The speed of construction by the cultivators is beyond my expectations."
Qing Lin covered her mouth and chuckled, "With the Sky Alliance unifying the Black Corner Region, a large number of people naturally gravitate towards Sky Alliance City."
"Most of these people are cultivators. With them as builders, the expansion of Sky Alliance City was expected."
Xiao Ze nodded in agreement and looked towards the mountains outside the city, where several peaks had already been cleared.
In one month, the Sky Alliance had swept through the Black Corner Region, and even the hidden forces were no exception. Now, all that remained was to manage it well to make the Black Corner Region impregnable.
Xiao Ze also planned to break through the mountains between Sky Alliance City and Canaan City, allowing the two cities to support each other and enhance their connectivity. The Grand Elder had no objections, especially since the Sky Alliance had now unified the entire Black Corner Region.
Canaan College no longer needed to set up barriers to protect against lawless villains. After opening a passage between Canaan City and Sky Alliance City, it became easier for the students to acquire cultivation resources.
"By the way, how are things going externally?" Xiao Ze asked.
Qing Lin shook her head, somewhat frustrated, "Just as we expected, the empires give us no opportunity to intervene, claiming they can handle the remnants of the Yunlan Sect themselves."
"Hmph, if they really could handle it themselves, the Black Corner Region wouldn't have so many outsiders," Xiao Ze snorted. Just the newcomers to Sky Alliance City alone made up thirty percent of those recently arrived in the Black Corner Region!
One could imagine how much the surrounding empires were suffering from the remnants of the Yunlan Sect.
At that moment, the space around them distorted, and Xiao Yi Xian and Medusa appeared. Medusa's clothes were still stained with blood, clearly having come straight from a battle.
"I've dealt with some foolhardy remnants of the Yunlan Sect who barged into the Black Corner Region," Medusa explained, meeting Xiao Ze's inquiring gaze. After all, now that the Black Corner Region was unified, there were few left worthy of her effort.
Xiao Yi Xian handed over a scroll, "This is the latest intelligence from the surrounding empires."
Xiao Ze took it, unfolded it for a quick look, and couldn't help shaking his head.
"The situation in the surrounding empires is in complete disarray. Those generals, emboldened by the remnants of the Yunlan Sect, are crazily demanding resources from the royal families."
"It's literally nurturing trouble for power, completely disregarding whether the people they should protect live or die. No wonder there are so many outsiders entering the Black Corner Region."
Thinking about this, Xiao Ze massaged his forehead, feeling a headache coming on. Although the unification of the Black Corner Region was swift, taking just a month, dealing with the remnants of the Yunlan Sect might take much longer, meaning he would need to stay on the Northwest Continent for an extended period.
Xiao Ze sorted through the opportunities worth seizing on the Central Plains Continent. The Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit in the Dou Sheng relics was a must-have. The Celestial Tomb was not to be missed, nor was the Bodhi Ancient Tree in the Barbarian Ancient Region...
But after carefully calculating, even the nearest Dou Sheng relic was about five years from opening. In the original story, Xiao Yan traveled to the Central Plains at twenty-four and the Dou Sheng relic opened when he was twenty-seven.
But now, Xiao Yan was only twenty-two, and although he was eager to head to the Central Plains, the fact that the Dou Sheng relic would not open for another five years remained unchanged.
This meant Xiao Ze had plenty of time to handle affairs on the Northwest Continent. Nonetheless, he still needed to explain things to the three guild leaders.
After all, he was an elder of the Pill Tower, and suddenly leaving for a year or two required an explanation to the Pill Tower.
Realizing the situation was not so urgent, Xiao Ze breathed a sigh of relief.
"Prepare to forcefully enter the surrounding empires. Since they won't listen to reason or force, we'll just have to punch through. The remnants of the Yunlan Sect practicing the soul-devouring secret technique must die!"
