Chapter 208: Establishing Seven Stars Tower, Recruiting the Heaven and Earth Fiends

After the Governor-General left with a flick of his sleeve, many thought Qin Xiao would have a hard time ahead despite getting his force approved. He had offended the Heir Apparent and the Governor-General. Even if he founded his force, he might be left with no one to lead. Who would dare join?
