1479 Alliance With Eternal Lotuses

"Chairman Lee, who was that person? I doubt that was his real appearance." One of the people in the room suddenly inquired when he returned.

"Are you really asking me about his identity when he clearly wants to keep it hidden for whatever reason?" Chairman Lee's piercing gaze met the person who had just spoken, his displeasure etched on his face.

"Are you going to be responsible for offending him because you care so much about his identity? Are you going to risk everything over a mere identity?"

"..."

Silence fell over the room as his words resonated with compelling logic, leaving everyone momentarily speechless.

Chairman Lee sighed a moment later, "I know what you're all thinking, but forget about it. He's not someone you can take advantage of."

"Then how will we deal with the others?Once we halt the Faction Wars, inquiries will undoubtedly come flooding in from every direction," someone voiced his concern.

"Let them question us. It's not like we're doing something illegal or suspicious, so we'll just answer them truthfully."

"Any more questions?"

"That surnamed Xian… is he truly trustworthy? And how much do you trust him?"

Chairman Lee stared at them with a serious expression on his face and responded in a clear voice, "I trust him enough to risk my life."

The people in the room exchanged glances with each other before nodding their heads.

"Chairman Lee, our trust lies in you, not in that individual, so if you say that you'll trust him, we won't make things difficult for you."

"Let's immediately start the Great Battlefield's renovation, shall we?"

Meanwhile, after Yuan regrouped with Meifeng and the others, they left Arena One. Not wanting to be recognized or surrounded, they all consumed an appearance-altering pill before leaving.

"Young Master, Fiery Garden of Hell has sent us a challenge request. The terms are the same as the one we sent to Fiery Locust Swarm." Meifeng notified him as they made their way to Bai Lianhua's private jet.

"Is that so? Go ahead and accept it."

"I already did," she said with a smile.

"Now we wait until they finish their renovations."

While Yuan and the others flew away from the Great Battlefield, discussions about the Demon Sealing Faction's shocking debut filled every forum and website related to Faction Wars and Cultivation Online.

[I just watched the Demon Sealing Faction's debut! Is Player Yuan even human?!]

[His members are also very strong. I can tell that they were holding back quite a lot, too.]

[They really made a fool out of the Fiery Locust Swarm and those who mocked them.]

[I always believed in Player Yuan!]

[Does anyone know what techniques were used by Player Yuan? Can they be found in the Myriad of Techniques?]

[Now that I think about it, this is the first time we've seen Player Yuan's capabilities outside of Cultivation Online. As for his capabilities inside Cultivation Online… it has yet to be seen.]

"Young Master, we're getting a lot of emails from powerful backgrounds who wish to purchase the techniques you displayed during the Faction War." Meifeng suddenly said to him as she browsed through her laptop. "Some of them are from the Ten Great Families."

"Just ignore them," he casually said.

"Okay."

"Everyone is talking about your faction," Yu Rou chuckled as she swiped through her phone.

"It'd be weird if they weren't." Wang Bingbing shrugged.

"While we're on the topic of factions… Lianhua, want to form an alliance with the Demon Sealing Faction?"

"Huh?" Bai Lianhua turned to look at him with a surprised face.

"I'm not sure if the concept of alliances between factions exists yet, but you understand its significance, don't you?" Yuan continued. "Essentially, we'll be mutually assisting each other in an official manner."

"Alliances exist. The Fiery Locust Swarm and Fiery Garden of Hell, for example. But I'm not sure how we'll be able to assist you guys." Bai Lianhua shook her head.

"We might never need your help and vice versa, but we'll never know for sure. Of course, even if you refuse to form an alliance with us, we won't do something as petty as refusing to help you in the future."

Bai Lianhua quickly responded, "I'm not refusing to form an alliance with you. In fact, I could not be any happier to do so. I'm just a little worried about our qualifications."

"Who cares about something as insignificant as that? The only qualification you need is my approval, and you already have it." Yuan smiled.

"If you say so, then I won't be humble." Bai Lianhua nodded.

"Then we'll be in your care." Yuan extended his hand for a shake.

Bai Lianhua showed a bittersweet smile as she shook his hand, "We're already in your care with the techniques you'll be giving us."

"Then I'll send you the alliance request right now," Meifeng suddenly said.

A few moments later, Bai Lianhua accepted the request, officially forming their alliance.

Sometime later, they returned to the Eternal Lotuses' headquarters.

"Make sure to visit us again soon, brother! And I don't mean next year!" Yu Rou said to him at the front gate.

"I know. I'll visit you again next month before our Faction War with the Fiery Garden of Hell."

"Also, I'll be activating the formation to limit our cultivation soon, so don't be alarmed when your cultivation is suddenly suppressed."

"Okay."

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Wang Bingbing and the others looked at him with puzzled faces.

"I'll explain it on the way back."

Sometime later, they left the Eternal Lotuses' residence and made their way back to the Dragon Spiral Mountain.

"What?! You're going to limit everyone's cultivation to peak Spirit Grandmaster?!"

Shi Lang exclaimed in a shocked voice after learning of his plan.

"Heavens… you can do something like that?" Wang Bingbing was shocked for another reason.

"As crazy as it sounds, I actually support it. Humans are capable of ridiculous things, much less cultivators." Wu Zao said.

Meifeng nodded, "I was actually going to bring this matter up sooner or later. I'm glad you're way ahead of me in this regard. The last thing we need are crazy cultivators changing terrains for whatever reason."

Yuan then said, "I'll explain this in more detail once we return and everyone is present."
