Xiao Ding did not avoid Chu Yang's gaze; instead, he smiled gently, appearing completely harmless.
Chu Yang didn't seem to care about the matter.
After all, he had no intention of gathering the power of faith on the Dou Qi Continent, so he didn't care about the so-called human hearts.
The Dou Qi Continent has been isolated from the Great Thousand Worlds for many years, with powerful forces intertwined and heroes vying for power. Gathering faith here would undoubtedly be a thankless and arduous task.
Upon arriving at the Xiao family's new residence, some of the alliance's high-ranking members left, leaving only the elders of the Elder Council.
Sitting in the reception room, everyone welcomed Chu Yang to the head seat and wanted Nalan Yanran to sit down, but the latter stubbornly stood next to Chu Yang.
This made Nalan Jie's expression somewhat unpleasant, after all, Nalan Yanran was a member of their Nalan family, yet she was unwilling to sit at the same table with her own grandfather.
"I wonder if Your Excellency has come to the capital this time to discuss something with my Flame Alliance?"
With Xiao Yan absent, Xiao Li became the person in charge of the Yan Alliance.
Although Xiao Ding made the decisions in most cases, his cultivation level was low and he also had a leg ailment, so it was difficult for him to convince others with his words.
On the contrary, Xiao Li was a Dou Wang powerhouse, and the Xiao Clan he founded had a high prestige in the Black Corner Region. In addition, Xiao Yan stood behind him, so no one dared to underestimate him.
Since meeting Chu Yang and Nalan Yanran, no one in the Yan Alliance has mentioned the rules set by Yun Yun.
For ordinary disciples of the Yunlan Sect, they might bring up this rule, but for Chu Yang, they didn't dare to bring up the so-called rule.
Chu Yang smiled and said, "I won't beat around the bush. I came down from the mountain to the capital this time because of the Yan Alliance."
Hearing him say that, everyone felt a slight chill and their expressions became a little tense.
Chu Yang continued, "It's very simple, there are three things in total."
"First, the rule that disciples were not allowed to leave the mountain was a rash decision made by the sect leader, and now I want to make some changes."
"The second thing is that I plan to systematically learn alchemy, and I hope President Fama can do me a favor!"
"The third thing is that my senior sister is going back to the Nalan family. I hope the Nalan family can put aside those so-called family interests and not make things ugly for everyone."
Upon hearing Chu Yang's words, everyone's expressions first turned ugly, then strange, and finally extremely interesting.
Changing the rules established by Yun Yun is something the Yan Alliance doesn't want to see, but it's also understandable.
Everyone knows that the Yunlan Sect has just suffered heavy losses and has since gone into seclusion, so the sect's resources will definitely be scarce.
The establishment of the Flame Alliance will also make it difficult for the Cloud Mist Sect to replenish its ranks with fresh blood.
After all, the Flame Alliance is backed by the Xiao Clan of the Black Corner Region and Canaan Academy. Even if the Cloud Mist Sect has a Dou Zun expert in charge, it is definitely not as good as Canaan Academy in terms of training and teaching young cultivators.
However, putting this matter aside, weren't the next two things handled rather hastily?
Is it really worth it for a dignified Dou Zun to make a personal trip for something like this?
What the heck is learning alchemy?
You've reached the Dou Zun realm at such a young age, and you still want to be distracted by learning alchemy? If you achieve something in alchemy as well, how will anyone else survive?
Chu Yang went directly to Fa Ma, the president of the Alchemist Guild. Although it was a good match for his major, who in the Alchemist Guild would dare to teach the Supreme Fiend God?
To have a group of guys whose strongest are only at the Dou Wang or Dou Huang level teach a Dou Zun expert... wouldn't that be going against the natural order?
What if Chu Yang gets upset and destroys the entire Alchemist Guild? Who will they complain to?
and also……
Nalan Yanran wanting to return to her family should have been perfectly normal, but Chu Yang's words made things take a turn for the worse.
This sounds exactly like Chu Yang is backing up Nalan Yanran!
Those words, so full of protectiveness, were practically saying it outright...
"Nalan Jie, you'd better watch yourself, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
At this moment, Nalan Jie's old face was extremely interesting, showing a mixture of panic, frustration, and strangely, a sense of amusement...
He was panicked because of Chu Yang's intimidation, and frustrated because his granddaughter had come home, and he, as her grandfather, was being threatened and told to be nicer to her.
He enjoys it because he feels...
My granddaughter and this young, devilishly handsome man are getting along!
If the two of them could get together, wouldn't the Nalan family rise to prominence in the future?
What kind of bullshit Flame Alliance is this? What kind of bullshit Three Great Empires are these?
All of you, step aside!
It's only a matter of time before we dominate the Northwest region!
"Cough..." Just then, Xiao Ding suddenly coughed lightly, pulling everyone's thoughts back.
Xiao Li snapped out of his daze and quickly asked, "Since Venerable One wishes to learn alchemy, then my Yan Alliance will do everything in our power to help!"
"Whether it's alchemy skills, insights and notes, or pill formulas, as long as the Flame Alliance can provide them, Venerable One, please feel free to ask!"
"As for the Nalan family..."
He paused here, glanced at Nalan Jie, and said in a strange tone, "I suppose Old Master Nalan will heed the Venerable One's advice."
"However... the Venerable One said he wanted to change the rules established by Sect Master Yunyun. What does he mean by that?"
Chu Yang was too lazy to engage in any mutual probing with him, and simply waved his hand, saying, "There's no need for pretense with me. I know you don't like Yanran, and I also know you have a blood feud with the Yunlan Sect."
“Yunshan is dead, and the Yunlan Sect is severely weakened. Yunyun has done you another favor.”
"I don't expect you to wipe the slate clean, but I would like the Yunlan Sect and the Yan Alliance to keep to themselves from now on. What do you all think?"
Xiao Li fell silent, but Xiao Ding suddenly said, "I hope you will forgive me, Venerable One. This matter still needs to be decided by my third brother when he returns, after all, he is the leader of the Flame Alliance."
Chu Yang said calmly, "I've met him, and he's already agreed!"
Everyone was stunned. A look of realization flashed in Xiao Ding's eyes, and he finally understood why his third brother had been indifferent when he learned that Chu Yang had gone down the mountain.
"In that case, my Xiao family has no objection!"
Xiao Li immediately made the decision, then looked at everyone and asked, "What do you all think?"
The elders of the Flame Alliance nodded in agreement. After all, it was the Xiao family who had a blood feud with the Yunlan Sect, while they only had some conflicts of interest and friction with the Yunlan Sect.
With a powerful figure like Chu Yang fighting, they would never risk becoming enemies with the Yunlan Sect over something so trivial.
Moreover, most forces are peace-loving when it comes to the Yunlan Sect, as no one wants to offend a Dou Zun!
"In that case, let me first talk about the changes to the rules of the Yunlan Sect!"
Chu Yang said directly, "Yunlan Sect remains aloof from worldly affairs, but each generation sends a disciple down the mountain for training. This generation's disciple is Senior Sister Yanran."
"Of course, I'm not bound by this rule, but I won't cause you any trouble either."
"Furthermore, the rules of the Yunlan Sect only apply to the areas covered by the Yan Alliance."
"For example, the Yan Alliance's power is now limited to the Jia Ma Empire. Apart from the disciples undergoing training, the Yunlan Sect members do not travel within the Jia Ma Empire, but they do travel outside of it."
"However, no matter where we are, we will not have any conflicts with the Yan Alliance, and we hope that the Yan Alliance will keep its members in check."
Chu Yang's attitude was very clear, and his tone left no room for negotiation; it was more like he was issuing a notification. (End of Chapter)
Chapter 305 Beginner's Success is Achieved in Novelty! A Rank Six Alchemist! Desiring to Head to the Central Plains!
The elders of the Flame Alliance exchanged glances, all seeing the helplessness in each other's eyes. Although Chu Yang's new rules were not exactly overbearing, they left them no room for maneuver.
Or to be more precise, they wouldn't dare to haggle with a Dou Zun expert.
Moreover, this new rule did not harm the interests of the Flame Alliance, and at the same time perfectly resolved the problems that the Cloud Mist Sect was currently facing.
Although many elders of the Flame Alliance are pro-peace advocates, they almost all have the same agenda.
That is to let the Yunlan Sect wither away in isolation, preferably due to the lack of resources and the inability to replenish its ranks with new blood, and thus gradually decline.
But with this new rule, their plans fell through.
"If no one objects, then I'd like to talk about something else..."
Chu Yang looked at everyone with a smile, but his words once again made the elders of the Yan Alliance nervous.
The Flame Alliance has just been established and stabilized, and it cannot withstand the reckless actions of this young Dou Zun!
"Leaving aside the Yunlan Sect, I personally want to do a deal with the Yan Alliance."
Chu Yang ignored the others and looked directly at Xiao Ding.
The Flame Alliance is led by the Xiao family, but Xiao Yan is a hands-off manager. Although Xiao Li is the nominal head of the alliance, the real leader is the young master of the Xiao family who is in a wheelchair.
Chu Yang said softly, "I want the Yan Alliance to give one-tenth of its resources to the Yunlan Sect every year."
"As a condition of the exchange..."
"I can come to the rescue when the Flame Alliance is in crisis!"
His words caused a stir in the entire reception room.
The Flame Alliance currently controls the entire Gama Empire, and its power is likely to expand further in the future. Therefore, one-tenth of the resources it receives each year is an astronomical figure.
Even so, it's absolutely worth it to get a promise from a Dou Zun powerhouse!
If Yanmeng were ever to encounter danger, this promise would be enough to reverse the situation in an instant.
