Monster Paradise Chapter 1717 - Buried Heaven Snapped

Chapter 1717: Buried Heaven Snapped

The Sword Alliance’s fame increased again after the banquet.

Lancelot defeating G.o.d Capital’s Shen Lu within a second was the equivalent of stomping on G.o.d Capital’s reputation.

Although Shen Tu and the rest from G.o.d Capital were extremely p.i.s.sed, they could only bite the bullet in silence. After all, they were the ones who had sent themselves to the opponent’s doorstep to be humiliated.

Moreover, it was not only Lancelot; the Sword Alliance had a mysterious powerhouse who easily suppressed Shen Jue.

They had at least two powerhouses with middle-rank lord-level ability guarding them. G.o.d Capital really could not afford to offend them.

Furthermore, they speculated that the Sword Alliance had Royal’s backing in the universe. They dared not take revenge on the Sword Alliance.

In the cultivation world, countless sword cultivators were antic.i.p.ating joining the Sword Alliance.

After all, it was called the Sword Alliance, and the chief Lin Huang was a sword cultivator. Naturally, countless sword cultivators were keen to join them.

It was a grade-7 organization with a sword cultivator leader. If one could join them, they would definitely obtain many good-quality Sword Dao inheritances.

Many sword cultivators were inspired by Lancelot’s sword attack.

He was a lord-level supreme sword cultivator; a supreme powerhouse who defeated Shen Lu of G.o.d Capital within a second.

If he could give them some pointers, they would definitely benefit significantly!

Apart from sword cultivators, there were many saber cultivators who applied to join as well.

Sword cultivators and saber cultivators aside, there were many female cultivators who applied.

Many of them came for Sword 1’s good looks. Naturally, a portion of them came for the chief Lin Huang.

The applications Sword 1 received daily nearly filled up his mailbox.

Lin Huang allowed him to share all of the mails to the other Sword Servants, getting the 300 or so Sword Servants to oversee the preliminary selection.

Later on, Sword 1 to Sword 12 would conduct the second round of selection.

After the two rounds of selection, they would send the successful applicants to Sword 1, who would conduct the final selection.

Initially, Lin Huang thought he would get the 12 Swordmaster’s bodyguards to go into closed-door cultivation as soon as possible after the banquet ended so that they could break through to lord-level as soon as possible.

However, seeing the millions of applications daily, he could only put that plan aside.

Sword 1 and the rest did not have many complaints.

It would not matter if they entered into closed-door cultivation a few days later.

As they went through the applications, the Sword Servants very soon reported the millions of applications everyday were just going along with the trend.

Lin Huang had only noticed that a viral trend had started on the internet in the past few days.

Everyone would show off the application they sent to the Sword Alliance.

The most viral thread even obtained hundreds of millions of likes.

Apart from some cultivators without an organization, there were some people who already belonged to an organization among the applicants. Some of them were the upper echelons of some top organizations. Even they were going along with the trend.

Even Xeno’s vice president Beth showed off the screenshot of her mail application. She even mentioned Lin Huang and the Sword Alliance’s official accounts.

Lin Huang replied helplessly, “Even if I dare to accept you, is Xeno willing to let you go?”

Xeno’s official account soon gave a weak reply, “We wouldn’t dare… (scared emoji)”.

Although the trend increased the Sword Servants’ workload immensely, Lin Huang and the Sword Alliance’s official accounts did not stop them. They would even interact with them occasionally.

Lin Huang and Sword 1 knew very well that they were just having fun. The trend would only last a few more days at most, and it would blow over after that.

The netizens who were joining this trend showed that they felt positively about the Sword Alliance at least.

Though the trend was ridiculous, it increased the Sword Alliance’s popularity.

Though the other grade-7 organizations were envious of the Sword Alliance’s popularity, there was nothing that they could do. G.o.d Capital had been humiliated on the spot, and the remaining organizations dared not poke the hornets’ nest.

Furthermore, the Sword Alliance was at the peak of their fame at the moment. No matter what the other organizations did, it would be difficult for them to attract the attention of the netizens.

Within those few days, things had been heated among the upper echelons of Death Sickle. They had been fighting.

It made sense that a couple of Blood Sickle members were jealous of the Sword Alliance taking all of the fame.

After all, Death Sickle was a grade-7 organization that had just been upgraded two to three months ago. However, they did not enjoy the similar popularity and fame from the upgrade.

Everyone was giving their opinions, and everyone thought their plans were the best.

One day, Buried Heaven finally could no longer hold back and called all the Blood Sickle members to the meeting room.

Everyone was present at 9am.

Buried Heaven, who was in the form of a young man, projected the viral topics that countless netizens had been discussing recently.

The Blood Sickle members looked at the various threads discussing the Sword Alliance. They had no idea what Buried Heaven was trying to do.

“Are you envious?” Buried Heaven glanced at everyone present.

They kept their silence and said nothing.

They were definitely envious, but they could not say so out loud.

“Do you guys know why the Sword Alliance enjoys the benefits of all sorts of news and traffic when they were upgraded to grade-7, while our Death Sickle didn’t despite upgrading to grade-7 as well?”

The couple of Blood Sickle members lifted their heads to look at Buried Heaven. Indeed, they could not understand why that was the case.

Death Sickle organized a banquet as well when they were upgraded, and also invited all the organizations. Although they did not have as many partic.i.p.ants as the Sword Alliance’s banquet had, it was still a large-scale banquet. Not only that, the number of media groups that came to report was no lesser than those who went to write about the Sword Alliance.

However, the discussions around Death Sickle only went on for two to three days. It was not worth mentioning at all compared to the Sword Alliance, who had been trending on the internet for more than a month.

“Because we’re a pile of dust!” Buried Heaven did not care that he was humiliating the senior members at all.

The Blood Sickle members instantly looked terrible.

“Since Death Sickle upgraded to grade-7, all of you insist on having your own opinion on each major decision we make. You guys fight among each other every time, afraid that you’ll receive less credit or lose authority! Not only that, you guys fought for Gold Sickle members.h.i.+p quotas, started your own gangs, and got Death Sickle’s members to take sides. What the h.e.l.l?!”

“Buried Heaven, you gathered us out of nowhere just to tell us this?” Boundless Blood asked with an unfriendly expression on his face.

He was one of Death Sickle’s founders. He was the most experienced one. Buried Heaven was only considered a junior in his presence. Naturally, he was rather p.i.s.sed that he had been scolded by a junior to his face.

“Senior Boundless, do you want Death Sickle to grow larger and stronger? If you do, then please, all of you, be patient and let me finish. If any of you feel that your personal interest is more important than Death Sickle’s, you may leave now. I won’t stop you.”

What Buried Heaven said shut Boundless Blood up directly.

The Blood Sickle members all looked terrible, but none of them got up to leave.

Buried Heaven glanced around the room and only started speaking again after waiting for a moment.

“Seems like everyone still hopes for Death Sickle to grow stronger. At least we have the same vision.”

“Do you know why the Sword Alliance is so outstanding?”

That question got everyone’s attention immediately.

“You guys know that I’m quite close with Lin Huang. Therefore, I’ve discussed this issue with him, as well as the problems our Death Sickle has.”

“I think he’s right. He managed to point out the biggest difference between the Sword Alliance and Death Sickle—The current Death Sickle has no backbone!”

“While Death Sickle was still a grade-6 organization, although the seven Blood Sickle members had their own gangs, the seven of us still formed the backbone of the organization when we came together.”

“However, since Old Sun and the rest died, the initial balance has been disrupted. Everyone started to fight for power. Especially since Death Sickle became a grade-7 organization, the infighting got worse.”

The couple of Blood Sickle members fell silent when they heard his words.

“Today, this Blood Sickle member would give an order. Tomorrow, another Blood Sickle member will give another order. The subordinates have no idea who to listen to.”

“It’s been close to three months since Death Sickle upgraded to grade-7. Let me ask you guys this—Have you come to a consensus on how you’d like to develop Death Sickle in the future? It’s good enough even if there’s only one direction that all of us have come to a consensus on!”

“It’s been almost three months, and we’re still stuck in the same chaotic state from when we upgraded to a grade-7 organization back then. We’re in an even worse mess than we were in three months ago.”

“Do you know how many things the Sword Alliance has done since they upgraded to a grade-7 organization?!”

Although the Blood Sickle members were unwilling to admit it, they knew what Buried Heaven said was the truth.

“What do you need us to do, then?” After a long silence in the meeting room, Gao Ming was the first to speak.

“Firstly, rectify the mess. The few of you must clarify your responsibilities. Distinguish who takes care of what clearly. Don’t intervene in everything. You guys wanting to be a part of everything is making it difficult for our subordinates to work.”

“Secondly, formulate a detailed follow-up plan for the organization’s development. You guys must reach a consensus on this. Don’t come up with your own plan and then refuse to yield to each other. Use the plan that’s the most effective and beneficial for Death Sickle’s future development. Announce to the public that it was Blood Sickle who came up with the decision.”

“Thirdly, catch up with the publicity. Try your best to draw attention and news traffic, even if you have to ride on the Sword Alliance’s fame. We must recruit newcomers to join us.”

“Fourthly, start collaborations with the outside world. Start discussions on which organization to collaborate with, and what kind of collaborations Death Sickle should engage in…”
