At this moment, many people joined the Lofty Cloud Pavilion.
However, those with a sense of belonging exceeding 30 were few and far between. Most of them were awestruck by Chen Mo's strength and had no choice but to reluctantly join.
Jia Xingtian had aged significantly in an instant. His once straight back now appeared somewhat hunched.
Chen Mo's overwhelming power made the rise of Yunlan Sect unstoppable, and the downfall of the royal family was only a matter of time.
The only way to preserve the royal bloodline...
Jia Xingtian's gaze shifted to a certain spot on the square, and he let out a soft sigh.
Ya Fei looked at this young man, who was no less impressive than Xiao Yan, her thoughts in turmoil. Not only was he immensely powerful, but his methods were also extremely forceful.
Just half a month ago, he had humbly referred to himself as a "youngster" in front of Jia Xingtian, Fa Ma, and others. Yet, half a month later, he was directly coercing everyone to join the Lofty Cloud Pavilion. It was as if the smiles and goodwill he had shown during the gathering were all just an act.
Now, he was the undisputed king of this arena.
"Very well, since everyone is so eager to join the Lofty Cloud Pavilion, I will briefly outline a few rules. First and foremost, the most important rule: no betrayal of the Pavilion."
Chen Mo explained the rules of the Lofty Cloud Pavilion, followed by the rewards and punishments. These were just the basics for the development of any organization.
After finishing, Chen Mo allowed them to leave.
Even if they were reluctantly submitting, the moment they joined the Lofty Cloud Pavilion, the system had already acquired their identity information.
On the square, the crowd gradually dispersed.
In the sky, a few figures flew away.
Yao Ye blinked her beautiful eyes at Chen Mo and then left with Jia Xingtian.
A moment later, the dilapidated square was left with only Chen Mo, Yun Yun, Nalan Yanran, and a few scattered disciples cleaning up.
"Aren't you going to explain?" Yun Yun muttered, her eyes filled with playful mockery as she looked at Chen Mo, who was about to slip away.
Nalan Yanran walked over to Yun Yun's side, her calm and gentle black eyes also carrying a hint of curiosity.
"Well..." Chen Mo glanced at the two of them and mumbled, "What exactly do you want me to explain?"
Their beautiful eyes both furrowed in unison as they spoke in unison, "We want to know everything."
Behind one lie, countless more lies are needed to cover it up.
As a failed author in his previous life, Chen Mo immediately began to spin a tale.
He talked about being an orphan, falling off a cliff and inheriting the legacy of a Dou Saint, and how his current strength was all thanks to the Dou Saint Power stored within his body by the Dou Saint.
Chen Mo rambled on and on.
While Yun Yun sympathized, she pondered, "Didn't you say that was the cave where the Dou Saint passed away? If he's already dead, how could he store Dou Saint Power within you?"
Yun Yun gave Chen Mo a look, as if to say, "Keep going, keep spinning your tale."
"Uh..." Chen Mo argued, "Didn't I just say that this was a method left behind by the Dou Saint before his death? This method is also part of his legacy."
"Oh, did you say that?"
"Didn't I?"
"No!" both women said simultaneously.
"Then you must have misheard."
On the Dou Qi Continent, there is a story that if one day you fall off a cliff and see a cave, don't panic. Take a few steps forward, and perhaps you will become a powerhouse.
This story is not false. In the continent's history of nearly a thousand years, there have been numerous examples of people falling off cliffs and inheriting the legacy of powerful experts.
"Since there's already a precedent, why doesn't anyone believe what I say? Sigh."
Chen Mo sighed. Other transmigrators in such situations could easily fabricate a few words, and the women would believe them. Yet, Yun Yun not only didn't believe Chen Mo's words but also exposed him.
Chen Mo could no longer hide his relationship with Yun Yun.
At that moment, the three junior disciples stared at each other, wide-eyed.
"Beast!" After a long while, the two women each threw out a sentence and left Chen Mo.
That night, Chen Mo slept alone.
In the following days, the Yunlan Sect was very busy—no, in a sense, it could be said that the Lofty Cloud Pavilion had taken over. Although Yun Yun was still the sect leader, all the affairs of the Yunlan Sect were now managed by the Lofty Cloud Pavilion.
A batch of elders was dismissed, including the Grand Elder Yun Leng. These were all people who had disobeyed Yun Yun's orders and colluded with the Hall of Souls.
The Yunlan Sect's square was in shambles and was currently undergoing extensive repairs.
Chen Mo rebuilt a Scripture Depository within the Yunlan Sect, naming it the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion. He placed all the Cultivation Methods, Dou Skills, treasures, and Elixirs obtained from Xiao Yan and the two Dou Venerables' Storage Rings inside. (The Cultivation Methods and Dou Skills were copied.)
All members of the Lofty Cloud Pavilion could exchange their contribution points for these items.
The Yunlan Sect's mission hall was converted into the Contribution Hall, where members of the Lofty Cloud Pavilion could accept tasks and earn contribution points upon completion.
This was also Chen Mo's way of increasing the members' sense of belonging to the Lofty Cloud Pavilion.
...
Jia Nan Academy.
At the peak of a mountain.
A green figure swiftly darted through the dense forest, lightly tapping the leaves with his toes, propelling himself forward a great distance.
The green figure arrived at the mountain peak and knelt on one knee, clasping his fist before a graceful figure.
This was a young girl dressed in a white long skirt, her eyes clear and calm, yet her expression was even more indifferent. A hint of pain lingered at the corner of her mouth, and her right hand pressed against her chest, as if enduring immense suffering.
Sensing the movement behind her, she spoke without turning her head, "What's the situation?"
"Reporting to the Young Miss, Young Master Xiao Yan has fallen," the green figure said with a slight tremble in his voice, for he clearly understood how important that young man was to his lady.
"What!"
It was as if a bolt of lightning had struck the girl's mind.
Her face immediately turned pale, her willow-like eyebrows furrowed, and a golden flame seemed to burst forth from her eyes at any moment. She gritted her teeth in anger, "Didn't I tell you to inform the clan?"
"Elder Gu Nanhai sent Elders Gu Qian and Gu Xu, but on that day, both their Soul Jades shattered."
Boom!
A golden flame suddenly erupted from the girl's eyes, gradually enveloping her entire body. She glared fiercely, "What about Chen Mo?"
"Chen Mo... Chen Mo is not dead."
Bang!
A golden flame streaked past the green figure, instantly reducing a large tree behind him to ashes.
The green figure bent his waist even lower.
"What exactly is going on?"
"The clan leader said that the Yunlan Sect and the Hall of Souls are colluding, and we must not act rashly for now!"
"So what if they're colluding? Since when has our Ancient Clan feared the Hall of Souls? Moreover, if we were to kill Chen Mo, would the Hall of Souls dare to attack our clan?" The girl gnashed her teeth in fury.
"The one who took action to kill Young Master Xiao Yan and Elders Gu Qian and Gu Xu was none other t
han Chen Mo..."
After saying this, the green figure's head was almost touching the ground.
"How is this possible?"
