Bank of the Universe - Chapter 411
Chapter 411: Joining The Enemy Camp
Tian Guangming was really emotional and wanted to find this so-called Wandering Cultivator Alliance and then observe this deputy alliance leader at a close distance.
Since Lady Seven said that Zheng Tu was an emperor. Although Tian Guangming was protected by Li Xiandao’s sword energy, he didn’t dare to waste it.
What if he scared him off?
So, Tian Guangming came to the nearby city to scout for news.
Who knew that this Wandering Cultivator Alliance was quite famous and that he would find news about them right away?
This Wandering Cultivator Alliance was located at the foot of Broken Sky Mountain Range. They built their own city at first, recruiting hooligans and random people to farm for them and build homes…
Wandering Cultivator Alliance did well and many people praised them. Now, they opened up 12 cities to surround the mountain. The cities helped one another and they recruited 50 million refugees. They were now a decently sized faction.
Wandering Cultivator Alliance’s leader was really strong and really responsible. He was the one that pushed forth the development.
So, no one could snatch the position away from him.
As for Zheng Tu!
When Tian Guangming entered the Wandering Cultivator Alliance city, he asked around. Each person knew about the leader but no one knew about Zheng Tu.
Someone said that there were 11 deputies and they couldn’t remember the exact number. However, they weren’t as strong as the leader and couldn’t protect them, so not many people remembered them.
This made Tian Guangming really frustrated.
Since the leader was so strong, then why was Zheng Tu willing to be a deputy with no power and no fame?
For an Emperor Realm to be the deputy, how strong was the leader?
Thinking about that, Tian Guangming felt a chill down his spine. He hid the contract well so that he wouldn’t be noticed. If he was, he could only use Li Xiandao’s sword energy to flee.
Luckily, after 100 years of development, there were over 100 million people. In this era where there was no entertainment after the sky turned dark, the only thing people do was to go home and make babies.
Which was how Wandering Cultivator Alliance stared from just a few million, bringing in refugees and then reproducing.
After three generations, there were 100 million of them.
There was food and drinks but no entertainment. Thus giving birth to kids became the only entertainment.
With so many people, Tian Guangming hid inside and wasn’t noticed.
He continued to walk around and find out more. He collected more and more intel.
He noticed a recruitment order!
Honest people with high cultivation can be rewarded.
On that night, Tian Guangming returned to his inn and contacted Li Xiandao.
“Master, I am planning to sneak into the enemy group.” Tian Guangming said solemnly.
Li Xiandao looked at the scenes ahead of him. Tian Guangming hid in a corner and it was pitch black. He was contacting him in secret.
Li Xiandao was slightly speechless, “You can light up the lamp, no one is staring at you.”
Tian Guangming gave an awkward smile and looked around. It wasn’t really good for the area to be pitch black.
He lit up the candles and said solemnly, “Master, I observed carefully. This Wandering Cultivator Alliance is really strong and I can’t beat them.”
When one said such cowardly things with such a serious expression, one would think that Tian Guangming was very brave.
“You can’t beat them, so you need help?” Li Xiandao asked.
“No, no, no.” Tian Guangming waved his hands. How could he need help? This was a chance to prove himself and get past Emperor Realm.
If Li Xiandao sent others over, then they would split the rewards. What if he couldn’t break through past Emperor Realm?
“Master, I don’t need help. Although I can’t beat them, I have brains. I can enter the enemy lines and get familiar with them. Then, I can improve myself and when Zheng Tu goes to find the Ancient God Dynasty, I can follow.” Tian Guangming designed a plan and was really confident.
When Li Xiandao heard this, he blinked and said helplessly, “Should I give you three years, then another three, then 10 and then you will become the boss of Wandering Cultivator Alliance?”
“Er…” Tian Guangming waved his hand, “Master, I don’t need so long. I am confident that I can do so in a short while.”
Li Xiandao instructed, “You need to be more careful. You can torture yourself but don’t get yourself killed. Apart from the sword energy, I won’t be going to save you.”
Li Xiandao’s warning made Tian Guangming nervous but instantly he gritted his teeth, “Don’t worry Master, I will definitely succeed.”
Li Xiandao said, “Then, good luck.”
After ending the conversation, Li Xiandao looked at the scenes ahead of him. Tian Guangming was packing up, writing down things he had to record and memorising them.
“If Tian Guangming is really in danger, will you help?” Seven asked.
“He has sword energy!” Li Xiandao said coldly.
As long as he don’t face anyone above stage five destiny, Li Xiandao’s sword energy could block it and ensure that Tian Guangming was fine.
“If he meets an enemy that your sword energy can’t beat?” Seven continued. He smiled. He just wanted to see whether or not Li Xiandao truly loved Tian Guangming.
“Impossible.” Li Xiandao said stubbornly.
“What if?” Seven was aggressive in her question and she stared at Li Xiandao.
“What if..” Li Xiandao’s gaze turned cold anad he said expressionly, “Why will I let others kill my subordinate?”
“I knew it. Out of your subordinates the person you care the most about is still Tian Guangming. Although he isn’t the strongest and not the most talented, you like him the most.” Seven clapped and said excitedly.
Li Xiandao stood up and shook his head, “You are wrong.”
“What?” Seven was stunned.
“The person I like most isn’t Tian Guangming!” Li Xiandao looked at her and smiled.
“Who?” Seven was shocked. She felt like it was Tian Guangming.
“An idiot.” Li Xiandao was annoyed.
Seven reacted and her face turned red. She was shy, and had a mix of joy and embarrassment.
…
On this side, Seven’s face turned red and on the other, Tian Guangming continued to prepare.
He didn’t rush to prove himself but instead went to read large amounts of books. They were regarding the history of Great Sky, geography, local specialities. After memorizing them all, he entered the recruitment hall.
But he had no chance to use them.
After showing his cultivation, Tian Guangming was obviously recruited. He was even able to meet Jing Chuan right away.
Tian Guangming was speechless. The books he spent a whole day of memorising, but he didn’t ask him anything at all.
What a waste!
