Chapter 848: Heading to Qiankun City to Meet the Non-Alchemy Faction

The two dispersing phantoms belonged to people from South Emperor Mountain and the Vermilion Bird Clan.

Qin Xiao’s current situation carried immense significance, so how could he possibly escape surveillance?

South Emperor Xia Qi’s earlier intervention had accomplished little, but it had shown the Barren Lands the Southern Region’s position. Now the Heaven-Splitting Bear Clan had sent another envoy. Surely it meant to make a private arrangement with Qin Xiao. South Emperor Mountain had to investigate.

As for the Vermilion Bird Clan, they merely wanted to see if Qin Xiao would face any threats, dropping by to repay a favor. It was almost a pity that a fight hadn’t broken out.

Ancestor Lianyun was to blame for promising Qin Xiao three interventions. Making a promise took a word; fulfilling it meant running oneself ragged.

Now that the Immortal Domain had made its stance clear, those in the Barren Lands with 10-Gang Combat Power or above would certainly not dare to make trouble for Seven Stars Tower. Therefore, if trouble came from those with 8-Gang or 9-Gang combat power, the ones who would have to step in were still juniors like them.

Qin Xiao had not seen the two figures, but he sensed that someone might be watching him at any time. He could not make peace with the Heaven-Splitting Bear Clan; he had to remain its enemy.

Seven Stars Tower seemed well established now, with powerful backing. But on the larger chessboard it remained a piece—only a larger one than before.

Upon returning to Seven Stars Tower, Qin Xiao immediately issued a new order to the six Barren Lands clans under his command.

They were to appropriately abandon some territories and draw closer to one another. Anyone with the potential for a breakthrough could come directly to Seven Stars Tower to apply for resources.

The same rule applied to the Immortal Domain side: each disciple’s first breakthrough was granted one free set of breakthrough resources, while any subsequent breakthroughs required contribution points.

Seven Stars Tower was still far too weak-so weak that many matters remained completely beyond his control.
