Starting as a Grandmaster, all of my cultivation techniques are at max level.

"Thank you for the praise, Sect Master." Xia Jin showed no modesty whatsoever, but accepted it readily.

"By the way, Sect Leader Leng, besides bringing Su Xin back to see you this time when I returned to the Glazed Sword Sect, there is another matter I need to discuss with you."

Upon hearing this, a hint of doubt flashed in Leng Wushuang's eyes.

With this kid's current strength, he's probably already far surpassed me. What could he possibly have to discuss with me?

With a question in mind, Leng Wushuang nodded: "Speak. If I, the sect leader, can do it, I will naturally agree."

Xia Jin didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point: "I'm planning to create a faction."

Leng Wushuang's brows twitched slightly, but she didn't interrupt him. She just watched him quietly, waiting for him to continue.

"When I first came to this Mirage Realm from the lower realm, I wanted to have a place to stay so that I could bring my relatives and friends from the lower realm up here someday! But I didn't have the strength to do so before."

"But things are different now. Now I have enough power to control any force. So I want to establish an alliance to integrate some scattered forces. I've already thought of a name: 'Heavenly Alliance'."

"Heavenly Alliance? Hmph! Your name is quite something. It seems you're being too modest with your so-called scattered forces." Leng Wushuang glared at Xia Jin with annoyance.

"Hehehe, it seems Sect Master Leng knows me quite well." Xia Jin chuckled awkwardly.

"Alright! Just say what you need me to do?" Leng Wushuang asked calmly.

"Alright! Sect Master Leng is straightforward, then I won't stand on ceremony! In the early days of the Heavenly Alliance, I need some people to come and help me." Xia Jin looked at Leng Wushuang with a sincere gaze, "So I'd like to transfer some people from the Glazed Sword Sect."

After hearing this, Leng Wushuang's expression became subtle.

Her mind raced at that moment.

She had witnessed Xia Jin's talent firsthand.

In her heart, if nothing unexpected happens, she even wants Xia Jin to become the next sect leader of the Glazed Sword Sect.

Given his extraordinary talent, once he succeeds to the throne, he will surely lead the Glazed Sword Sect to an unprecedented height, and it is not impossible for it to become the fourth holy land after the three great holy lands.

But now he says he wants to start his own sect and even wants to draw people from the Glazed Sword Sect? Wouldn't this make the Glazed Sword Sect lose both its wife and its army?

Leng Wushuang's brows furrowed slightly involuntarily, and a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes.

Xia Jin had naturally noticed Leng Wushuang's changing expression.

"Sect Leader Leng, there's no need to worry. The Heavenly Alliance I founded is simply an alliance."

"The so-called Heavenly Alliance is an alliance composed of multiple forces. The Glazed Sword Sect can certainly join if it wishes. Furthermore, I can guarantee that the Heavenly Alliance will not interfere in the internal affairs of any party. However, in crucial moments, all parties will need to act in unison!"

"And apart from my orders, each of your factions is still in charge of its own affairs."

"If the Glazed Sword Sect joins the Heavenly Alliance, it will only become stronger than it is now!"

Leng Wushuang didn't speak, but the hesitation in her eyes had eased a bit.

Xia Jin's confidence grew stronger: "I wonder if Sect Master Leng believes it or not, but the Heavenly Alliance will definitely become the holy land of the entire Mirage Cloud Realm in the future, surpassing the existence of the other three holy lands."

Leng Wushuang's pupils contracted slightly.

More than the three holy sites?

If someone else had said this, she would have dismissed it as wishful thinking.

But these words came from Xia Jin, a prodigy who had comprehended the sword intent of the mortal world and possessed great fortune, so she couldn't help but believe them.

Zhou Suxin sat quietly beside Xia Jin, without saying a word, only occasionally glancing at Leng Wushuang with a hint of expectation in her eyes.

She naturally hoped that Leng Wushuang would agree.

Half an hour later, Leng Wushuang finally spoke.

"Okay." She took a deep breath, all hesitation in her eyes vanishing completely. "I promise you."

Xia Jin smiled brightly: "Sect Leader Leng, you have made a very correct decision."

Leng Wushuang rolled her eyes at him, annoyed: "Don't flatter me. But let me make this clear: the people are only temporarily lent to you. They will still be disciples of my Glazed Sword Sect in the future."

"Don't worry," Xia Jin nodded with a smile, "Of course."

As she spoke, Xia Jin suddenly revealed a half-smile on her face, "Since Sect Leader Leng has already agreed, then I will reveal a secret to you, so that you can be completely at ease."

"Secret? What secret?" Leng Wushuang raised an eyebrow.

Xia Jin looked at her, a glint of light flashing in her eyes: "Sect Leader Leng may not know that before I came to the Glazed Sword Sect, the Sacred Flame Sect of Qiankun Prefecture and the Joyful Union Sword Sect of Guxu Prefecture were already completely under my command."

"What?" Leng Wushuang was stunned at first, then her expression changed drastically.

Holy Flame Sect? Joyful Union Sword Sect?

These two forces are now both led by Xia Jin?

If that's the case, with the foundation of the Holy Flame Sect and the Joyful Union Sword Sect, plus Xia Jin's terrifying strength, they can already be considered as a hegemonic force ranking among the top ten in the Mirage Cloud Realm, apart from the three holy lands!

Leng Wushuang took a deep breath, forcibly calming her inner shock.

"It seems that betting on you won't be a mistake!" Her expression turned very serious. "Tell me, who does the Glazed Sword Sect want? Go ahead and pick. They'll be delivered to you within ten days."

Xia Jin nodded and was about to thank him when Leng Wushuang asked again, "By the way, where do you plan to build the Heavenly Alliance? It can't be without a base, can it?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Jin's lips curled up slightly.

"Sect Leader Leng, have you perhaps forgotten the Wrathful Soul Hall in Pingyang County? That's an absolutely auspicious place!"

Leng Wushuang was slightly taken aback: "The Hall of Wrathful Souls?"

"That's right." Xia Jin stood up, hands behind her back, her tone carrying an air of dominance. "After I dealt with their new palace master, they're now leaderless and struggling to protect themselves. I want this place, and who can stop me?"

"With such a perfect spot already available, wouldn't it be better to just take over?"

"You've thought this through quite well!" Leng Wushuang pondered. "As long as we clear out the remaining members of the Wrathful Soul Hall, it won't take much effort."

Xia Jin smiled, then suddenly reached into her bosom, took out a thin booklet, and casually handed it over.

Leng Wushuang took the booklet, glanced at it, and asked in confusion, "What is this?"

Xia Jin's eyes held a mischievous glint in them: "Of course, it's the list of people I want."

Leng Wushuang opened the booklet and was greeted by a long list of names.

She closed the booklet, looked up at Xia Jin, and her expression became very strange.

"So, you were already certain I would agree, weren't you?"

Facing those eyes that seemed to see right through people, Xia Jin felt no guilt whatsoever. Instead, she grinned and said, "Sect Leader Leng is a smart man; of course she will agree."

"You!! Hmph! I don't know if I owe you anything!!" Leng Wushuang was speechless at his self-righteous appearance. She wanted to retort, but found that she really couldn't do anything about him.

She tucked the booklet into her sleeve and waved her hand impatiently: "Alright! The person will be there in ten days. If there's nothing else, you should leave now; just looking at you annoys me."

Xia Jin cupped her hands in a respectful gesture towards Leng Wushuang, her tone becoming more sincere: "Thank you! If Sect Leader Leng needs any help in the future, please feel free to come to me."

Leng Wushuang turned her head away, not looking at him, and simply hummed in response.

Xia Jin didn't care. She turned around, put one arm around Zhou Suxin's waist, and casually waved the other arm.

A crack appeared in the void.

"Sect Leader Leng, farewell!!" Zhou Suxin bowed slightly to Leng Wushuang, and then was embraced by Xia Jin, stepping into that distorted void.

Leng Wushuang stood there, looking at the restored void, and suddenly felt her long-dormant passion resurface.

"The Heavenly Alliance... this kid is probably really going to stir up trouble in the Mirage Realm."
