Chapter 998 - 998 997 Alliance Meeting 3rd Update

998: Chapter 997: Alliance Meeting (3rd Update) 998: Chapter 997: Alliance Meeting (3rd Update) After settling Zhang Chong, Ye Haochuan sent Su Yingxue home before driving back to the Long Family.

Chen Yushan hadn’t returned yet.

Ye Haochuan was planning to go back to his room to cultivate, but Long Xiaotian stopped him.

“Now that you’ve successfully established your foundation, there are some things I think you’re ready to know.”

“What things?” Ye Haochuan felt his curiosity suddenly being drawn out by Long Xiaotian.

“The structure and relationships within the Ancient Martial Arts Sect.” At this point, Long Xiaotian abruptly shifted the topic, staring at Ye Haochuan as he asked, “Do you know what my position is in the Ancient Martial Arts Sect?”

Ye Haochuan curled his lip, thinking to himself: When did this guy ever talk to me about these things?

How am I supposed to know?

Long Xiaotian was sharp enough to notice Ye Haochuan’s thoughts.

He chuckled awkwardly and said, “You’re aware that the Ancient Martial Arts Sect is divided into the Heavenly Gate, Earth Gate, and Human Gate, right?”

“Yeah, I know.

The Human Gate manages cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Stage and below, the Earth Gate manages Core Formation Stage disciples, and the Heavenly Gate oversees Nascent Soul cultivators,” Ye Haochuan nodded and replied.

“That’s both right and wrong,” Long Xiaotian shook his head.

“The Earth Gate does manage Core Formation disciples, but the Heavenly Gate actually oversees the entire Ancient Martial Arts Sect…”

Through Long Xiaotian’s explanation, Ye Haochuan finally understood the structure of the Ancient Martial Arts Sect.

Turns out, there weren’t many Nascent Soul cultivators in the sect, so there was no need to establish a separate body of management for them.

In reality, the Heavenly Gate is a leadership group formed by the Sect Leader and serves as the highest echelon of the Ancient Martial Arts Sect.

“I currently hold a position in the Heavenly Gate, but it’s just a low-level one,” Long Xiaotian said humbly, though a hint of pride was unmistakably visible on his face.

The Heavenly Gate, equivalent to the central leadership in the secular world—one would be hard-pressed to find anyone mediocre among its members.

“Whoa, so you’re basically a minister of the current dynasty?

Impressive, bro!” Ye Haochuan laughed heartily.

Everyone knows that, while the official rank of central government officials might not be too high, their status is incredibly lofty.

Take those eunuchs from the end of the Han dynasty, for example—even generals were disregarded simply because they were close to the Emperor.

“Given your high rank, shouldn’t investigating the Long Group incident be a walk in the park?

Why has it dragged on for so long without any progress?” Ye Haochuan asked, his face suddenly showing a trace of disdain as he mentioned the Long Group.

Upon hearing this, Long Xiaotian’s expression darkened, and he replied solemnly, “High rank?

There are plenty of people in the Heavenly Gate higher-ranked than me!”

“Then you should think carefully about who you might have offended.”

“Do I look like the kind of person who enjoys making enemies?”

“How would I know?

We’re not exactly close.”

“You…” Long Xiaotian almost spat blood out of sheer frustration, letting out a cold snort before saying, “It’s not that simple.

For the Hellfire faction to be involved, whoever orchestrated this must be deeply tied to Hellfire.

I suspect they’re a mole planted by Hellfire within the Ancient Martial Arts Sect!”

Ye Haochuan mulled this over for a moment, furrowing his brows as he said, “Now that you mention it, the fact that Hellfire managed to infiltrate so many people into the Sub-Thunder Element Dimension Realm—there’s no way the upper echelons of Xuanmen don’t have a traitor.

I’d bet my life on it!”

“Exactly.

Maybe we can find clues following this lead!” Long Xiaotian’s eyes suddenly lit up as he said to Ye Haochuan, “Since you’ve spotted this anomaly, you’ll handle the investigation from now on!”

Are you kidding me?

What does this have to do with me?

Ye Haochuan pulled a long face and said, “Come on, that’s the Ancient Martial Arts Sect’s upper management we’re talking about.

I’m just a Foundation Establishment nobody—I’d be reduced to dust before I even get close, okay?”

“Your low cultivation level makes it easier to conceal yourself.

I doubt they’d ever suspect that a mere Foundation Establishment ant would dare investigate them!” Long Xiaotian’s face took on a sly expression.

“Conceal, my foot!

If I get discovered, I’ll be dead in seconds, alright?” Ye Haochuan grumbled irritably.

“What are you afraid of?

I’ll have your back!

If your guts are this small now, how’re you ever supposed to rebuild the Long Group?” Long Xiaotian curled his lip dismissively.

“Besides, consider this a chance for you to train yourself—you need to grow up quickly so I can finally let go!”

“Oh, come off it.

You’re just out of people to use, aren’t you?”

“I—That’s absurd!” Long Xiaotian’s gaze suddenly faltered, and after an exaggerated cough to collect himself, he said, “Alright, it’s settled.

I’ve taken you under my wing for so long; surely you wouldn’t refuse to contribute this little thing to the organization?”

Organization my ass!

You clearly just want to slack off, don’t you?

Ye Haochuan was brimming with frustration.

If Holy Hand hadn’t changed his fate, he wouldn’t even bother acknowledging Long Xiaotian.

“By the way, there’s another thing I want to discuss with you!”

“What is it?” Ye Haochuan’s voice was icy, showing that he was clearly in a bad mood.

“I heard you’ve formed a group called the Long Alliance?”

“What do you want?

Don’t tell me you’re planning to take over the Long Alliance?” Ye Haochuan asked warily.

“Take over?

What’re you saying?

We’re practically family—what’s yours is mine, right?” Long Xiaotian feigned indignation.

“Besides, I just want to support the Long Alliance’s development.

It’s not as shady as you’re making it sound!”

“You think I’d believe you’d be so kind-hearted?” Ye Haochuan eyed him suspiciously.

“You’re not scheming something, are you?”

“What nonsense!

Do I seem like that kind of person?” Long Xiaotian said seriously.

“Let me tell you, plenty of people have begged me to promote their teams, and I’ve turned them all down.

Don’t be ungrateful!”

“Fine, I’ll reluctantly believe you.

So tell me—what can you offer the Long Alliance?

Just so we’re clear, don’t waste my time with some Talisman-Level or Law-Level treasures.

At minimum, give me a Spiritual Artifact—or a Treasure would be even better!” Ye Haochuan teased with a laugh.

Damn it, do you think I’m made of money?

Long Xiaotian cursed inwardly but kept an amiable smile on his face as he said, “Law-level treasures are way too lame.

I’ve got a big gift for you this time!”

“What’s this big gift?” Ye Haochuan’s curiosity piqued instantly at the mention of something better than a Spiritual Artifact.

“A ticket to the All-Alliance Conference!”

“What conference?”

“The All-Alliance Conference!”

“Pig Alliance Conference?”

“You idiot—are you doing this on purpose?” Long Xiaotian growled in frustration.

“Let me tell you, the All-Alliance Conference is only for the most reputable teams within Xuanmen.

If your Long Alliance gets in, its name will undoubtedly skyrocket!”

“Is it really that prestigious?

Why have I never heard of it?” Ye Haochuan asked skeptically.

Truth be told, Ye Haochuan was excited about the chance to make the Long Alliance grow rapidly.

Yet, Long Xiaotian’s sudden suggestion made him suspect that the latter might be up to something.

“You’ve never heard of it because your Long Alliance’s rank isn’t high enough!” Long Xiaotian explained.

After Long Xiaotian’s detailed explanation, Ye Haochuan finally understood what the All-Alliance Conference was about.

Essentially, the All-Alliance Conference is a platform for various teams to interact and even resolve disputes.

After all, everyone is part of the Xuanmen force, and the occasional resource conflict isn’t usually a grudge that leads to life-or-death battles.

Through the All-Alliance Conference and mediation by high-ranking officials, misunderstandings are smoothed over, and ultimately, they remain comrades in the same trench.

But since there are so many alliances within Xuanmen, it’s impossible to invite everyone.

Hence, only prominent alliances are typically invited to the conference.

For a newly formed team like the Long Alliance, being able to attend the All-Alliance Conference would undoubtedly put its name on the map.

Seeing the potential benefits, even Ye Haochuan began to look forward to it.
