Light Cultivation
Eps. 214 — Guest Arrival
Coinciding with Jian Chen going to the other city, one of the members of the 12th Organization of the Hunters came to a headquarters, he was named Xin Tian who had a horse tattoo on his body.
Xin Tian went to the headquarters of the Blood Sword Organization which was in the Land Dragon Province.
"I'm a little flattered to meet someone like you..." The patriarch of the Blood Sword Organization, Yun Luo, warmly welcomed Xin Tian's arrival as he entered his headquarters.
Xin Tian simply nodded slowly, his eyes still turning around the place where the organization's headquarters was. After quite a while he finally looked at Yun Luo again where the Patriarch of the organization slightly had a unique look, one eye was covered by a blindfold.
"Hm, I didn't expect someone to build a base in the middle of a swamp like this?"
The Blood Sword Patriarch laughed, not answering him but rather leading Xin Tian into one of his private rooms.
"I've heard many of your big names, with your power like this it shouldn't be difficult to conquer a city right?"
Xin Tian saw so many members of the Blood Sword Organization that were in the headquarters, the number was likely in the thousands.
"Not really, although it can do it but doing it is clearly different, the possibility of my members will be half exhausted if I do it..." Yun Luo shook her head slowly.
Xin Tian's attention then turned to the four people behind Yun Luo who were on their knees, from a single glance Xin Tian realized that they were his subordinates.
Yun Luo laughed looking at the direction of his guest's gaze. "The four of them were the higher-ups of my organization, when I learned of your arrival, I told them to gather. Introduce them..."
The four higher-ups who were behind Yun Luo were also called the higher-ups of the four elements, from his name the four had different elements.
Xin Tian could see the four of them had strength in the Hampa Realm realm, one girl and three men.
Yun Luo did not mind explaining the purpose of her organization to Xin Tian, simply that she wanted to rule over the Land Dragon province in her palm just that with her current strength, the Blood Sword Organization still did not have enough strength.
To control a province, of course, must attack the government directly in the capital.
Therefore now that his organization was still at the stage of development, in addition to recruiting new members to increase the strength of the organization, Yun Luo also had to provide resources for the strengthening of its members.
For the time being the Blood Sword Organization had already moved to control several small or medium-sized cities yet it was still done clandestinely.
In addition, he is also carrying out large-scale kidnappings in various different areas before finally being collected here.
Xin Tian did not interrupt Yun Luo's explanation until the man finished his conversation.
"I don't understand, why did you kidnap ordinary citizens?"
Xin Tian would not be surprised if Yun Luo carried out that kidnapping on the nobles or important people but kidnapping the poor people was obviously useless.
"Ah, for that we have our own plans but surely the kidnapping is related to the way we want to control this province."
Xin Tian stroked his chin. "Interesting, I love the way you guys work. Looks like you already know why I came here to do what?"
"Hm, isn't it to help my organization?" Yun Luo raised her eyebrows.
Xin Tian laughed, "You're right, I am one of the 12 Shio Hunters organization will help you gain control of this province..."
The Blood Sword Patriarch was of course happy to hear it but there was something stuck when Xin Tian said so, which was certain that they did not work for free.
"Of course I also want a reward for my helping hand?" Xin Tian seemed to understand the direction Yun Luo thought.
"No problem, whatever reward it is as long as you help me control this province I and my organization will try to do it."
Yun Luo could feel Xin Tian's strength being above her despite being in the same realm, if the two fought then Xin Tian would defeat her within minutes.
Xin Tian's arrival could advance Yun Luo's plan in attacking the Blood Sword organization to the capital.
If everything went with his plan, it would not take long for the Blood Sword organization to make a move.

"Is this the big city you're talking about?" Jian Chen could now see a city not far from his walking carriage.
Jian Chen was a little confused, he thought that the big city he meant had a large area and had adequate infrastructure but the city in front of him was not much different from an ordinary middle city.
"To be honest I was here for the first time so I didn't know the concept of a big city for locals." Yue Lian replied with an awkward smile.
It had been two days since they boarded the merchant car, fortunately no obstacles or evil were approaching.
On the other hand the relationship of Jian Chen and Yue Lian was getting more familiar, in contrast to the previous one where Yue Lian was always wary of him yet this time the girl was a little open talking to Jian Chen.
The merchant carriage finally arrived at the city gate, there were four officers standing guard and they immediately stopped Jian Chen's entourage for a check.
Jian Chen's eyebrows shot up looking at the officers, other than that they were not in uniform and were impressed like wild warriors, the way they worked was also unusual.
The four officers began to check every thing that the merchant entourage brought, even they did not hesitate to ruffle the goods brought to make the merchant slightly object to see it.
It did not end there, even the merchant guards were checked, some of them who had space rings had to be taken off and removed all their contents.
"Are their actions not too excessive." Yue Lian frowned.
Jian Chen agreed with Yue Lian's statement, opening one's spatial ring was arguably a taboo to do even an attendant.
The city officials then walked towards Jian Chen and Yue Lian, their faces looking unfriendly and impressed arrogantly.
"Please take off your space ring?" One of the attendants asked Jian Chen for a space ring by extending one of his hands.
Jian Chen smiled faintly, "What if I refuse?"
"You dare to fight the officer?!" the attendant glared and immediately took out his spear which was pointed at Jian Chen.
Shortly after three other officers approached Jian Chen, their faces more or less the same that seemed angry at his rejection.
"Hm, you guys want to do violence to me? Is this how you work?" Jian Chen still remained calmly seated in his place despite the spear pointing at him.
"You dare to argue with us, if you want to get into town then get all your stuff out!"
"It's not that I don't want to but I can't do it, other than that..." Jian Chen flicked his hand as soon as the four spears of the officers were broken in half. "I don't like your spears pointing at me!"
The action shocked all who saw, leaving four officers shrieking and terrified.
Jian Chen smiled widely. "So can I come in now?"
The city attendant gulped before nodding softly, their instincts telling them not to deal with Jian Chen too far.
Yue Lian watched it slightly stunned and speechless including the merchant entourage that was with her. They had just realized Jian Chen's strength was indeed unusual.
The reason Jian Chen refused in check was quite simple, there were many items inside his ring including a mountain of gold. If they check it takes all day to get it out.
