Chapter 691: Chapter 687: The New Alliance of Longxi
No one could have predicted that the new Longxi Alliance would emerge in such a domineering posture in front of the world after the disaster, even the several sects of Longzhou cast sidelong glances at it.
Under the banner of helping the weak against the strong and resisting the disaster, the Longxi New Alliance swept through the two major cities of Mount Lan and Fuling in the western part of Longzhou within just two months, and incorporated the forces of more than a dozen small cities.
They provided food, shelter, and cultivation methods. The Longxi New Alliance gathered all the refugees from the northwest in just a few months, with dozens of large ships traveling between the cities every day.
Countless refugees headed to Fuling, Mount Lan, and North Mountain to join the new Alliance, because this new Alliance not only accepted the settlement of families but also welcomed all who came to them.
The rapidly expanding power of the Longxi New Alliance expelled the ruling families of the four major cities, namely Qutang, Andong, Boma, and Jiejiang, with a lightning-fast momentum. Many powerful clans, who thought they were strong, had almost no power to fight back and were swept away in one wave.
Ever since, all six remaining major cities in Lingjiang have been controlled by the Longxi New Alliance, and the brave and war-loving Tang Clan has officially come into the view of various sects of Longzhou from the western border city where they had been keeping a low profile.
As new nobles suddenly emerged in Longzhou, every powerful force was collecting information about the Tang Clan. After all, all the major cities to the west of Longzhou are now controlled by the Longxi New Alliance, which is controlled by the Tang Clan, attracting the attention of various parties. Some of the ancient powers in Longzhou have decided to deter the new Alliance and are awaiting the completion of intelligence gathering.
In this continent, there are no secrets. Once the wind media of these forces starts working together, the past of the Tang family in Xiling is laid bare in front of all parties.
Origin? What can the family created by a pioneer offer as an origin? It’s just a warrior from the Fierce Realm who got lucky in cultivation.
Power? What power can a force without a Grandmaster have?
Not until the blood relation to the Xu Clan of Yuanzhou caught their eyes. This made many forces who wanted to exploit the Longxi Alliance hold their power back.
The Tang family in Xiling is related to the Xu Clan of Yuanzhou by marriage. The person who got married is the sister of the Changfeng Sword Saint in Middle Ying City and the aunt of the current generation of the Xu Clan who travels around.
The Miss Xu who escaped from Yuanzhou because of eloping seems to have regained her family’s approval. She returned to Yuanzhou with a luxurious team to visit her relatives at the beginning of the year.
It was said that during the decisive battle in Xiling, a Grandmaster appeared on the battlefield and blocked a combined team of more than thirty warriors from the Fierce Realm of the Mi Clan’s allied forces for the Tang Clan.
So behind the Longxi New Alliance, is it the Xu Clan of Yuanzhou?
This discovery once again stirred the nerves of all parties. After all, the actions of various powerful sects in recent years have given a sense of impending storm. They all feel that perhaps the holy lands have been lonely for too long and want to stir things up. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
The rumors about the current generation of the Xu Clan of Yuanzhou overwhelming all geniuses with his sword skills in the Beast Taming Sect had not yet faded. Then there was news about their relatives forming an alliance and sweeping Xiling, looking at all of this together, the heads of various forces suddenly realized.
No wonder they let their own Miss marry into Xiling under the guise of eloping. After all, Longzhou is an area under the control of Martial Saint Mountain and the Beast Taming Sect. If the Xu Clan openly married their daughter, they might attract the attention of the two sacred lands and any plans would be extinguished in the cradle.
But after nearly twenty years of support from the Xu Clan, the Tang family in Xiling finally came into their own. Their large number of top martial artists is evidence of this.
With the actions of the Tang Clan, the ambitions of the Xu Clan of Yuanzhou are fully exposed. The real master of the Longxi New Alliance must be the Xu Clan of Yuanzhou.
Seeing the same trajectory, various forces retracted their intentions to strike and adopted a wait-and-see attitude.
After all, in their view, the Longxi New Alliance was nothing more than a chess piece of the Xu Clan of Yuanzhou probing Longzhou. They can only blame the two holy lands of Longzhou, one focused on doing business and the other on research.
Even after such a major disaster, they couldn’t see any reaction from the two sacred lands, so it was not surprising that the Xu Clan of Yuanzhou wanted to test the waters.
No one wanted to step forward and touch this hot potato. Because behind the Longxi New Alliance is the Xu Clan of Yuanzhou, and they have nothing behind them. Even if they leveled the Longxi New Alliance, if any of the three forces of the Xu Clan showed up, who would help them?
If they can’t afford to provoke them, then they can just act as if they don’t exist. Anyway, the Longxi New Alliance wouldn’t make much of a splash for a while.
Under such a beautiful misunderstanding, Tang Zhi led the New Alliance through a very peaceful growing period, leaving many of his prepared countermeasures in vain. Happiness came suddenly.
Seeing that things were going well, the leader of the Tang Clan did not rush to expand the territory of the Longxi New Alliance. After occupying the six major cities on both sides of Lingjiang, he began to quiet down. Every day, ships were dispatched to collect the refugees in the west of Longzhou and bring them back to the six major cities, among which many special wind media from various big clans of Longzhou were mixed in.
Due to the river change in Longjiang, many small towns were submerged, leaving countless people homeless. The actions of the Longxi New Alliance were like a ray of light in the dark world, and every rescued refugee was grateful to the Tang Clan.
The good reputation of the Tang Clan in Xiling spread throughout the western part of Longzhou through the mouths of the refugees. Unlike previous aristocratic families who showed off by saving refugees, the Longxi New Alliance not only arranged housing and distributed food for the refugees after gathering them but also arranged jobs crucially.
Unlike previous aristocratic families who turned the rescued refugees into slaves, in just a few months the Longxi New Alliance has become the best-reputed joint force in Longzhou.
Seeing the behavior of the Longxi New Alliance, Longzhou’s various forces were further convinced that this was a pawn pushed out by the Xu Clan of Yuanzhou.
Whether in terms of their style of doing things or their attitude towards the common people, the Longxi New Alliance is very similar to the Xu Clan of Yuanzhou, as if they were carved out of the same mold.
If they were trying to test the sacred lands, why use so many resources to help the people?
Perhaps, the Xu Clan of Yuanzhou just couldn’t bear to see the disaster in the west of Longzhou and the two sacred lands standing by, so they had the Tang Clan save the people.
After the intelligence gathered by the wind media was sent back to their families, the various forces could not help but make such a judgment.
Because no matter from which angle, it is not worth it to use your own money and resources to support ordinary refugee villagers. Warriors need resources, and the most important thing is that you need to ensure the loyalty of the warriors you cultivate.
According to the Longxi Alliance, who open physical technique and forge martial arts science in each city, allow commoners to enter and study for free, in the eyes of each world family, it is like digging their own graves.
If such massive resources were used to cultivate their own warriors or train loyal death squads, it would definitely be better than wasting them on ignorant commoners.
