The Daily Life of the Immortal King - Chapter 802

Chapter 802

For one moment, the establishment of this new sect made all the light forces tense . That night, many of the Sky-level sects received invitations from Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal . For many people, this felt like an initial show of strength, as if the new sect was demonstrating with its actions that it wasn’t afraid of any challenge .

A newly established sect with such imposing momentum was very rare . In the history of the founding of famous Sky-level sects, the one with the most prestige had to be Reliance Sect . Most newly established sects gave the familiar feeling of starting anew, so Reliance Sect’s reputation was at its height in the first two years after its founding . The head of the sect, Patriarch Reliance, later went on to set up a school attached to the sect, became its headmaster, and started engaging in the education industry .

Patriarch Reliance was a smart man, and naturally understood that tall trees could easily attract the wind . It was because of this that two years after the sect’s founding, he deliberately suppressed its momentum, in a tacit move to uphold the balance of power among the Sky-level light force sects .

Sky Light Alliance, full name: Sky-Level Sect Light Force Alliance Social Committee .

This was an NGO set up by the Sky-level sects above fifth class, and was a financial management organization .

The Sky Light Alliance was originally set up in response to the problem some sects at fifth class and above had with funding . Fifth class was a watershed level for Sky-level sects . To achieve a fifth-class rating required a concrete foundation that was a hundred or even a thousand years old… However, many sects who reached fifth class on the whole ran into the problem of funding in the short term, so the Sky Light Alliance was established .

Though, it was more as if the Sky-level sects at fifth class and above were huddling together for warmth, just to make sure that the level of their respective sects didn’t drop easily .

It was kind of like getting stuck on a particular game level . Some good players would deliberately get together groups of stuck players and organize them to perform in high-end matches to help maintain each other’s levels .

This was in fact something that had been going on for a long time .

Unfortunately, whether it was the balance of power or the Alliance, both were directly smashed apart the night the founding of Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal’s new sect was announced .

Currently, the number of sects at fifth class and above in the Sky Light Alliance was seventeen, accounting for eighty percent of the total .

Of the four sects that hadn’t joined the Alliance, one was the first-class Immortal Palm Tree Sect, backed by Huaguo Water Curtain Group . It was a sect force affiliated with Huaguo Water Curtain Group which trained all types of alchemists as its main business .

As for the remaining three, one was the third-class Fighting Horse Sect which was a subsidiary sect built by the Xiao clan that operated a legal horse racing business . The other was a second-class sect called Myriad Beasts School which raised spirit beasts as its main business . The head of the sect was also an acquaintance of Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal’s, Crying Old Immortal, who was the vice president of the Pet Trainers Guild . In fact, Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal already knew him before he met Wei Zhi .

And the last sect, at third class, was naturally Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal’s “General Office of Strategic Deception”…

The number of Sky-level light force sects at fifth class and above had stayed at twenty for a very long time . Now, a Sky-level third-class sect had suddenly emerged out of nowhere . The first to feel threatened were the light forces that were part of the Sky Light Alliance .

Most of the sects who hadn’t joined the Alliance had backers behind them, so disdained to join at all . The problem was, no one knew if their own sects would drop in level after Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal’s new sect was completed .

Thus, that evening, the seventeen sects of the Sky Light Alliance came together to begin analyzing and investigating this “General Office of Strategic Deception . ”

How great were the capabilities of seventeen sects at fifth class and above?

Although they currently hadn’t been able to find out who the force behind the creation of Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal’s new sect was, they had thoroughly researched the core members .

A dozen or so bigwigs sat in the Sky Light Aliance’s conference hall .

All of them were the leaders or the deputy leaders of their sects who had specially gathered for this meeting to discuss countermeasures in the light of Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal’s new sect . Given the urgent situation, some of the bigwigs who were too far away to be physically present directly used holographic projections to participate remotely in the meeting .

The president of the Sky Light Alliance was Lu Youming, head of a fourth-class sect called Evil God Cult .

Evil God Cult might not sound like a decent sect, but it was in fact a proper and lawful sect, whose members were mainly engaged in collecting the sculptures or figurines of evil gods from around the world .

There were usually rare resources or even ancient scrolls with secret techniques hidden inside these crudely crafted figurines and sculptures, because there was a time long ago when it was popular to seal secret techniques inside ugly sculptures . The sect took apart the sculptures and figurines of evil gods they collected and ultimately resold the treasures they found inside at a high price .

At the same time, the head of the Evil God Cult was also a cosplayer .

Today, Lu Youming was cosplaying as Bukubukuchagama 1  .

Sitting in the president’s chair, Lu Youming had a sharp look in his eyes . “Everyone… this is a huge challenge in front of us, and truly a time of crisis . What do you think of this new sect that has come storming in?”

“This new sect isn’t simple . I recommend that we try roping them in first . ” The head of a fifth-class sect said, “This Great Death-Courting Senior isn’t simple . I heard that he narrowly survived a confrontation with Evil Sword God back then . He must have an expert guiding him from behind the scenes . As for the other core members of the sect, none of them are simple… Cailian Zhenren, known as the Ex-Boyfriend Killer; Immortal Toya, a famous modern-day Medicine Saint; Lightning Dharmaraja, a descendant of the Thunder clan… even that Director Zhuo, who’s been in the spotlight recently, has actually joined the supervisory and investigation team . ”

“That’s right… This isn’t an ordinary lineup…”

At this point, many of the people present sighed .

The head of the fifth-class sect continued, “Of course, what worries me the most is that Crispy Noodles Dao Monarch; even with the combined might of our seventeen sects, we haven’t been able to find any clues on him . Perhaps I’m ignorant or ill-informed, but I’ve never heard about this Daoist name before… That Great Death-Courting Senior has always been a cautious person, and would never pull in someone he doesn’t know to join the sect, so for this person to join out of nowhere is a little unusual . ”

“Can it be a sect manager?” someone asked .

Working as a sect manager had become more popular in recent years, and mainly consisted of being responsible for improving a sect’s overall economic situation . There had, however, always been a lack of managers in the industry; many sects wanted managers, but couldn’t find any .

“I’m well acquainted with the sect manager circle, but I’ve never heard of such a person . ”

Lu Youming shook his head . “Since we’re not familiar with this person, let’s not waste time on him . Let us discuss the matter of the invitations first . Everyone should have received an invitation from that Great Death-Courting Senior, right? So, are we going or not?”
