Chapter 1442: Campaign Against Dragon Society

Liu Yanran merely blanked out slightly upon hearing Xiang Shaoyun's words. She didn't seem too surprised, and that surprised Xiang Shaoyun.

"You're finally making a move, Young Master Xiang?" asked Liu Yanran with a self-mocking smile.

"You don't seem too surprised?" asked Xiang Shaoyun.

Most people would either be afraid or furious when they heard that their organization was about to be conquered. Thus, Liu Yanran's reaction was quite abnormal.

"Why should I be surprised? In fact, I want nothing more than that," said Liu Yanran as she indifferently stroked her long hair.

"Looks like your internal dispute has yet to end. Are those two old fellows still refusing to acknowledge your leaders.h.i.+p?" asked Xiang Shaoyun.

Back when Xiang Shaoyun visited the Brightflower Chamber, they were already in the midst of an internal dispute. Liu Yanran might be the chamber master, but she had no way of suppressing the dispute. If it wasn't for Xiang Shaoyun, the Brightflower Chamber might really turn back on their words to the Ziling Sect.

"They have constantly been looking for trouble with me and giving me a hard time. If I hadn't been swallowing my anger and remaining patient, they might have already killed me," said Liu Yanran bleakly.

She was the chief disciple of the previous chamber master. She did not disappoint either, as she was able to reach late-stage Sovereign Realm. However, she was still too weak compared to the two old fogeys in the chamber.

"Very well. I'll lend you some people. Get rid of those two and declare that the Brightflower Chamber will come under the Ziling Sect's rule. You will remain as the chamber master. Each year, the chamber will be required to pay a third of its income as tribute to the Ziling Sect. If you can do all that, I promise that the Brightflower Chamber will only grow stronger and stronger," said Xiang Shaoyun.

Liu Yanran bowed and agreed unhesitatingly, "Thank you, young sect master."

At present, Xiang Shaoyun's reputation was akin to a bright sun. She was aware that she wouldn't be able to stop his advance. In that case, going along with the circ.u.mstances of time and submitting to him would be the best option.

Of course, she was still unwilling to remain a mere subordinate. She lightly nibbled on her lips and looked at Xiang Shaoyun before asking, "Young sect master, what do you think of Yanran?"

As she said that, she a.s.sumed a seductive posture, her eyes rippling with emotions. Any other man would have his blood boiling by now, but Xiang Shaoyun merely frowned and said, "You're decent, but you have chosen the wrong target. You may leave. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind having a new chamber master as well."

At this point, Xiang Shaoyun's willpower had grown to an unimaginable level. Liu Yanran wouldn't be able to tempt him so easily. Liu Yanran left the hall with a look of shame, cutting quite a sorry figure as she cursed inwardly, What a dull man!

As for Xiang Shaoyun, he felt that he already had enough women by his side. He really had no interest in getting more women.

Next, Xiang Shaoyun sent a group of 13 people led by Tie Ta from the Army of Despair to accompany Liu Yanran back to the Brightflower Chamber. They would be in charge of getting rid of the two old fogeys from the chamber and taking over the chamber.

"After years of hostility with the Dragon Society, it's time we settle scores," muttered Xiang Shaoyun with a sharp look in his eyes.

The Dragon Society was also a tier-7 organization qualified to advance into a tier-8 organization. They were definitely not to be underestimated. Therefore, Xiang Shaoyun decided to personally lead an army and end the Dragon Society.

Once, the Dragon Society had tried to invade them with their 108 generals. And now, Xiang Shaoyun was bringing his own 108 generals to the Dragon Society. For this battle, he did not bring Purple Lightning Marquis and Scarlet Flame Monarch with him. After all, he was already capable of contending against Great Saints. Even if the Dragon Society had their own Great Saints, they wouldn't be his match.

Because Purple Lightning Marquis and Scarlet Flame Monarch knew Xiang Shaoyun's strength, they did not advise against his decision. However, Purple Lightning Marquis still gave Xiang Shaoyun a jade slip that could instantly summon his clone in case they encountered a super expert during the war. At the same time, his main body would also be able to sense the jade slip's activation. This would be his insurance to protect Xiang Shaoyun's life.

Xiang Shaoyun did not refuse the jade slip. He also told Purple Lightning Marquis to tell the Xiang Clan to leave seclusion. He planned to have the Ziling Sect and Xiang Clan work together and expand their rule in the Western Desert. Only by gaining control over more resources and territories would they be able to contend against the Di Clan.

Mounted atop Money and clad in the battle robe Tuoba Wan'er made for him, Xiang Shaoyun looked valiant and heroic. Standing side by side with him were Green Ghost, Despair, Bing Busi, old turtle, old toad, and some other Saints. Behind them was a group of Sovereigns. Each of them was mounted on a mighty mount, looking incredibly mighty and impressive.

Instead of using teleportation portals, the group headed straight for the Dragon Society. In any case, the Dragon Society was located at the Soaring Dragon Province's border, while the Ziling Sect was located at the Celestial King Province's border. The two were basically close neighbors, which was also the reason for the many disputes between them.

The surrounding subsidiary organizations all trembled with fear when they saw Xiang Shaoyun's approaching army. They started wondering if they had done anything to offend the Ziling Sect recently.

Wherever Xiang Shaoyun went, the leaders of the subsidiary organizations personally went out to greet him. They all maintained a humble att.i.tude before him. Not one of them dared to even raise their voice against him.

Xiang Shaoyun couldn't be bothered to pay them too much attention. Like an emperor touring his own empire, he traveled through their territories, emanating a valiant aura that filled all their hearts with fear.

In the past, these subsidiary organizations would always lack sincerity when dealing with the Ziling Sect. But upon witnessing the group of 108 experts led by Xiang Shaoyun, they erased all their thoughts of disobedience. One after another, they sent their envoys to the Ziling Sect, trying to establish an even deeper cooperation with the sect.

At the border of Ziling City's territory was a city called Zhuma City. Zhuma City was ruled by the Ma Clan, a tier-6 organization. Although the clan lacked a Saint, they had a decent number of Sovereigns. It was rumored that one of their ancestors had reached the pseudo-Saint Realm.

Many years ago when Xiang Shaoyun had just retaken the Ziling Sect, Zhuma City had thought of rebelling. They challenged Xiang Shaoyun's authority but eventually stopped all provocations after Xiang Shaoyun killed an important member of their clan.

However, during the Dragon Society's invasion, not only had the Ma Clan not tried stopping the invasion, they even allowed the invading army to pa.s.s uninterrupted. Of course, Xiang Shaoyun eventually sent some people to teach the Ma Clan a lesson and installed a new patriarch. Only then did the Ma Clan stop being rebellious.

At present, Xiang Shaoyun had arrived before Zhuma City. All the higher-ups of the Ma Clan came out to welcome his arrival.

"Ma Clan patriarch, Ma Xiaotong, greets the young sect master and the various lords," greeted a middle-aged man with about 20 people behind him.

Xiang Shaoyun did not say anything. Beside him, Tian Ji stepped forth and berated, "Ma Clan patriarch, why did your ancestor not come out to greet the young sect master?"

Tian Ji was an intelligent person and was Pang Tongyuan's disciple. Additionally, he was also Xiang Shaoyun's attendant. Thus, his status in the sect had undergone a complete change.
