Chapter 2089: Chapter 2044: Alliance Hierarch?
"Second Uncle, you must accept these Spirit Stones! Without them, how will you develop the Blood Alliance?" Chen Yang insisted.
"But... your support for the Blood Alliance is truly too much." Chen Tianmin said embarrassedly.
"Second Uncle, don’t view my support for the Blood Alliance as help. Change your perspective, and it’ll be different."
"I also have a blood feud with the Blood Bat Hall, helping you is akin to helping myself. There’s nothing to be embarrassed about."
Chen Yang said earnestly.
Chen Tianmin fell silent upon hearing this.
He glanced at Elder Qiu.
Elder Qiu returned a determined look to Chen Tianmin.
Seeing Elder Qiu’s expression, Chen Tianmin said to Chen Yang, "Yang Zi, I can accept these things from you, but I have one condition."
Condition?
"What condition?" Chen Yang asked curiously.
"Join the Blood Alliance and assume the position of Alliance Hierarch!"
Chen Tianmin stated solemnly.
Chen Tianmin’s words were very serious and decisive; it seemed that he and Elder Qiu had long planned this.
Everyone present was startled upon hearing Chen Tianmin’s request.
The most surprised was Chen Yang; he never expected his second uncle’s condition was for him to become the Alliance Hierarch of the Blood Alliance.
"Second Uncle, are you serious?" Chen Yang could hardly believe it.
He wasn’t even considered a member of the Blood Alliance, so how could he directly become the Alliance Hierarch?
This leap was too large.
"This matter is something Elder Qiu and I have discussed for a long time, just never found a suitable opportunity to discuss with you." Chen Tianmin nodded, "Since there’s a chance today, I’ll straightforwardly bring it up. Please don’t decline."
Chen Tianmin’s face was earnest, showing no sign of joking.
Chen Yang was truly struck dumb.
This news came too suddenly.
"Yes, Yang Zi, ever since our Blood Alliance went through the previous incident, we’ve been greatly weakened. Without you, we wouldn’t exist anymore."
"In these days, not only did you help us, but you also have strength, and you too have a blood feud with the Blood Bat Hall. No one else is more suitable for Alliance Hierarch than you."
Seeing Chen Yang remain silent, Elder Qiu spoke up as well.
He and Chen Tianmin had carefully considered this decision.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t lightly hand over the position of the Alliance Hierarch.
"Chen Yang, I also support you as our Blood Alliance’s Alliance Hierarch!" He Xiran said happily.
Before Chen Yang could react, Ao Min, Liu, and others also smiled and encouraged him.
Chen Tianmin was getting older, and his cultivation was unlikely to improve further.
Only Chen Yang was most suited for this Alliance Hierarch role.
Only he could make the Blood Alliance flourish and achieve its founding goal.
To cleanse the Blood Bat Hall!
The position of Alliance Hierarch for the Blood Alliance was something Chen Yang had never considered before.
His support for the Blood Alliance was purely for helping his second uncle, with no other intentions.
With Chen Tianmin suddenly proposing that he take on this Alliance Hierarch role, he didn’t know whether to refuse or accept for a moment.
"Yang Zi, don’t hesitate. Our Chen Family’s blood debt can only be avenged by you! The position of Alliance Hierarch can only be yours." Chen Tianmin said.
"Yes, Yang Zi, the Blood Alliance has benefited so much from you, it’s only right for you to be the Alliance Hierarch." Elder Qiu urged eagerly.
Chen Yang was truly torn.
"Second Uncle, if I don’t accept this Alliance Hierarch position, you won’t take my Spirit Stones?" Chen Yang asked Chen Tianmin.
Chen Tianmin nodded without hesitation, "Of course, without any relation to you, how could we accept so much from you?"
"But if you agree to become the Hierarch, then I’ll definitely accept these Spirit Stones since you’ll be the Alliance Hierarch."
Chen Tianmin’s words put Chen Yang in a difficult position.
If he didn’t take the position, they wouldn’t accept the stones, and without resources, how could the Blood Alliance grow?
But if he accepted, he wasn’t very willing to be honest.
After careful consideration, he finally decided to agree to his second uncle’s request.
To become the Blood Alliance’s Alliance Hierarch!
Upon hearing Chen Yang make this decision, everyone was delighted.
Chen Tianmin and Elder Qiu exchanged a glance and then simultaneously knelt on one knee, saying in unison, "Greetings, Alliance Hierarch!"
"Second Uncle, what are you doing! Though I’m willing to take this position, you really don’t have to do this." Chen Yang hurriedly helped the two up.
Chen Tianmin was full of joy, "Yang Zi, it’s customary, no other meaning."
"I don’t care about customs or not, just don’t do this in the future, I’m not very comfortable with it." Chen Yang said earnestly.
Everyone smiled at his words.
"Alright, you’re the Alliance Hierarch, we’ll listen to you!" Chen Tianmin laughed.
"Second Uncle, can you accept these Spirit Stones now?" Chen Yang handed the pouch again.
"Yes, I can." This time Chen Tianmin didn’t refuse and accepted the items.
Everyone didn’t leave afterward.
They stayed in the Taoist hall, discussing for a long time.
They made many decisions for the future path.
During the discussions, Chen Yang heard good news.
That was, the Shenlong Conference this time, Chen Tianmin and they had significant gains.
At the conference, they recruited more than ten Loose Cultivators to join the Blood Alliance.
There were more potential members, but due to the Blood Alliance’s unique tenets, they couldn’t easily recruit cultivators.
So, they chose not to recruit them.
Instead, they chose some cultivators who also had blood feuds with the Blood Bat Hall to join the Blood Alliance.
Moreover, those cultivators all had considerable cultivation, at least in the Qi Cultivation Stage.
Although the number of recruits wasn’t large, it was better than none.
This was a significant boon for the development of the Blood Alliance.
That night’s discussions lasted a long time.
It wasn’t until early morning that Chen Yang left the Green Cloud Taoist Temple and returned home.
He returned alone, having left Chen Hao at the Green Cloud Taoist Temple.
Because Liu Taoist had taken a particular liking to Chen Hao, and after careful consideration, Chen Yang ultimately agreed.
Allowing Chen Hao to become Liu Taoist’s last disciple and inherit their Crimson Cloud line.
Returning home alone, Chen Yang neither cultivated nor made breakthroughs but sat quietly on the bed, absorbing it all.
He recalled what Feng Nihuang had said a few days ago.
This realm, Mystic Realm.
To have a better future, he must go to the Mystic Realm.
But what about Liuhe Village and the Blood Alliance?
This was a point that greatly troubled Chen Yang.
"No matter what, the Mystic Realm is a must-go."
After pondering for dozens of minutes, Chen Yang decisively made a choice in his heart.
"But before going, I must ensure the village is settled, after all, who knows how long this journey will take."
Chen Yang could deduce that the Mystic Realm wasn’t a place one could visit and return from at will.
There must be entry and exit conditions.
And those conditions must be complex.
Otherwise, the Mystic Realm would be bustling with people from this realm long ago.
"The issue of breakthrough can be put aside for now; my main task during this period is to settle the village and then head to the Mystic Realm!"
...
The next day came in a blink.
Waking up early, Chen Yang wrote out a prescription and personally delivered it to Uncle Niu’s home.
Uncle Niu was delighted to receive the prescription.
