Martial Research Master

358 RETURN TO THUNDER ACADEMY-“You manage to come here in a safe way. Welcome to the water-mist village.” Long Tao had introduced Li Meng as one of his sect brothers to Su Menqi. She greeted him likewise, but her character seemed much colder than earlier. The change in appearance and character could be attributed to her absolute-frost body.

“Should we go in? We have a lot to discuss.” Li Meng led her and the avatar into the house and directed them toward their rooms. After which the three people assembled for discussion in the meeting hall.

“Long Tao here said that you have something for me to do.” Su Menqi asked.

“I do have some plans for you in the water-mist village. You see, we brothers are trying our best to create small organizations within the top resource zones within the central plains. The Water-mist village is one of the potential hubs where we would like to establish a force of ours.” Li Meng explained.

“You setting up a force within the water-mist village is a good boost to your power. But what does it have to do with me?”

“As sister should know, that we brothers are quite close to each other and hence are aware of the problems and challenges we are facing. It came to my notice that you are about to confront a powerful enemy in the future. If I am not wrong, the place should be the Ice-Valley right?”

Su Menqi was surprised by Li Meng’s knowledge. She looked at Long Tao with a glare.

“I had to tell him after I came to know about this place.” The avatar tried to explain. Su Menqi was still skeptical about the whole matter.

“The major reason why he told me the secret is because the water-mist village is the heaven of water and ice type cultivators. You need to increase your power to be able to confront the powerful figures within the Ice Valley. This is the best place for someone like you to grown in.”

.....

“Also, the Ice-valley is an ancient force which has been situated within the central plains for a very long time. They have a very deep heritage and hence taking them on is no easy matter. Just being powerful wouldn’t be good enough to eliminate the threat. You need men of your own to help you during the battle.”

“I have been planning to set up a powerful force within the water-mist village for a very long time. Yet I need someone I know and trust to be the leader of this force. That was when brother Long suggested your name. This is the best location for you to grow both personally and as a leader of a mighty group.”

“Do you accept?” Li Meng asked with a serious tone.

Su Menqi was visibly disturbed by the revelation, but she was a rational woman. She knew that Li Meng was speaking the truth. No matter how strong she becomes, it would be difficult to face Ice-Valley without the backing of a force of her own. She looked at Long tao for one last time to get confirmation.

He nodded with a simple smile and she spoke up. ” I accept.”

“Good. Let’s get into the details of the whole area, its topography, and the troop placement I have decided on. The place we are living in is the temporary base of our organization. The number of troops I have managed to recruit is 150, out of which 70 are advanced Qi kings. They are currently underground due to a necessary commotion which I caused within the area.”

“You are the one who killed all those men.” Su Menqi asked. They had heard that a massive purge occurred overnight with a lot of forces being involved. Many lost their lives within two days and no one knew who did it a dhow. They are blaming each other for the killings and the water-mist village had turned into a war zone.

“Yes. I did kill them. It was necessary to keep the organization busy as we needed some time to consolidate our foundation within the water-mist village. You at the very least would need to reach the very peak of Qi King before acting in public.”

“I need a lot of time and resources for that.” Su Menqi said.

“I know about that. I have already sent most of the men to hunt within the Misty-ridge for powerful herbs and potions. Many are busy trading tasks with the merchant guild. We gained a lot in last night’s massacre and the organization has enough Monetary stock to run properly for a whole year. The herbs would go into your cultivation and I hope you could raise your cultivation to the next level by the end of the month.”

“You need to hunt powerful monsters and herbs with the group to gain resources for cultivation. I am handing this whole group to you to grow yourself. This group will also be your underlying force which will accompany you in your battle with Ice-valley.” Su Menqi looked at Long Tao with amazement. So this was the reason all along. He did this for her.

“No need to be pressurized. You just need to be steady in your growth. I hope you are aware of the Royal road.” Li Meng asked.

“LonG tao told me about it. The competition that would enable a cultivator in Qi Emperor realm to step into Qi Monarch.”

“Yes. We need to aim for that. There are many other subsidiaries managed by our other brothers. They too will be supporting you in the future. But you need to raise a powerful force to support them too. The nearest one is within Taiwan Mountains.” Li Meng went on to describe the base and Sheng Luo’s details.

He then gave her full records of all the information she needs to know about the organization, water-mist village, as well as details about the various avatars who were stationed at different locations. He also gave her a small ring that consists of a lot of resources and pieces of Yin tree for her to cultivate.

“I will be taking my leave now. All the employees have been made aware of the situation. Brother Long will help you with the management. The next time we meet will be a year from now. I hope to see you all-powerful and in command of a deadly force.” Li Meng said his greeting before leaving the room and the base itself.

It was time for him to return.
