75: Cangming, the alliance is established

Mo Yan nodded slightly, put away the alliance token, and turned his gaze to Xie Yufeng.

“The resources you wanted, I’ve already prepared them.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a small mountain of resources appeared out of thin air in the Ice Crystal Cabin.

Xie Yufeng’s eyes widened as he looked at these resources.

The quantity… it was far more than he had anticipated!

“This… this…” He was so excited he was incoherent, “Boss, this is too much!”

He estimated that these resources were enough for him to upgrade his territory’s core buildings several Ranks.

Mo Yan’s expression was calm: “The alliance token you provided is worth far more than these resources.”

He paused, then continued to ask: “Besides this alliance token, what other notable developments have there been outside recently?”

Upon hearing this, Xie Yufeng’s heart tightened, and he quickly reined in the excitement on his face.

He knew that the Boss wanted information.

“Yes, Boss.” Xie Yufeng organized his thoughts and said respectfully.

“It’s indeed not peaceful outside recently. Ever since you… ” He carefully chose his words, “dealt with John and them this morning, many Lords have reined themselves in quite a bit.”

“However, those major powers haven’t been idle.”

Mo Yan gestured for him to continue.

“As far as I know, Eagle Country’s ‘Wings of the Eagle’ from the Ice Source region and Japan’s ‘Orochi Society’ have both been expanding frantically these past two days.”

“They’ve absorbed many Lords, their sphere of influence is expanding very quickly, and they’re snatching resource points and ownerless treasure chests everywhere.”

“How strong are they?”

Xie Yufeng swallowed: “Extremely strong! I heard that the Alliance Leaders of these two major organizations both have S-Rank talents.”

“Their Soldier count also far exceeds that of ordinary Lords.”

“Additionally, I heard that the high-levels of many countries have formed a group of top-tier Lords, and they are all preparing for the large-scale conflicts to come.”

“Moreover, I also heard a rumor.” Xie Yufeng lowered his voice and leaned in closer.

“It is said that these large Alliances seem to be secretly searching for a place called ‘Ancient Ruins’.”

“Legend has it that there are treasures and Legacies from ancient times left inside, but it’s also very dangerous.”

“Ancient Ruins?” Mo Yan’s eyebrow twitched slightly.

Bai Lingyue said disdainfully: “They’re just fools driven by desire, chasing after ethereal legends.”

“True power isn’t something you can get just by relying on luck.”

Listening to Bai Lingyue’s words, Xie Yufeng felt a chill rise from the bottom of his heart and dared not respond.

Mo Yan ignored Bai Lingyue’s comments and continued to ask: “What’s the situation with the Dragon Country Lords?”

Xie Yufeng quickly said: “Boss, your battle indeed surprised many Dragon Country Lords.”

“Now, many people admire you greatly, feeling that you’ve avenged us Dragon Country Lords!”

“However…” He changed the subject, “there are also some people, perhaps due to jealousy or other motives, who are secretly speaking ill of you.”

“And some who overestimate themselves might still be plotting something nefarious.”

Mo Yan had long expected this: “However many come, I’ll kill however many.”

“The information you provided is very useful.”

“Boss, you’re too kind. It’s my honor to be of service to you!” Xie Yufeng quickly waved his hand.

His trip today was well worth it!

Not only did he get the much-needed resources, but he also got connected with Mo Yan.

“In the future, if Boss needs anything from me, or wants to know any information, just command me!”

“I, Xie Yufeng, will go through fire and water to investigate it thoroughly for Boss!” He patted his chest and guaranteed.

Mo Yan noncommittally hummed in response.

He stood up: “Keep your resources safe, be careful on the way, don’t get targeted by certain hyenas.”

This was a dismissal.

Xie Yufeng was also a smart person and immediately understood.

“Yes, Boss! Then I won’t disturb you anymore!”

He bowed respectfully, then carefully put the resources on the ground into his storage space.

“Gun Gun, see them out.” Mo Yan said to Gun Gun, who was lying beside him.

“Gulu!” Gun Gun leaped up from the blanket, shook its fluffy body, and walked in front of Xie Yufeng.

It tilted its small head, looked at Xie Yufeng with its dark, round eyes, then raised its small paw and pointed towards the door.

Seeing this, Xie Yufeng quickly bowed and scraped: “Thank you, Lord Gun Gun!”

He, along with his three Soldiers, left the Ice Crystal Cabin under Gun Gun’s “escort.”

Bai Lingyue watched their departing backs, her lips slightly curved, and said to Mo Yan: “This Xie Yufeng is quite clever, he knows which major leg to cling to.”

Mo Yan said indifferently: “Being able to assess the situation and seek advantages while avoiding harm means he’s not too stupid.”

“At least, he’s much stronger than those who seek their own demise.”

“Lord, how do you plan to use this alliance token?”

“Are you preparing to recruit Soldiers and horses, and compete with those major powers in this chaotic world?”

Mo Yan looked at the alliance token in his hand, a deep light flashing in his eyes.

“Compete?” He chuckled lightly, “Why should we compete with them?”

“Let them compete, let them snatch, let them fight to the death.”

“We just need to harvest the fruits when they are exhausted, that’s enough.”

Bai Lingyue paused slightly upon hearing this, then the light in her eyes grew brighter.

She lightly licked her red lips, her voice becoming even more enchanting: “Lord is indeed… unique.”

“Your subordinate is becoming more and more excited for the show to come.”

Mo Yan said no more, and with a thought, he directly chose to use the alliance token.

【Prompt: Do you wish to use the rare item alliance token to create a Lord Alliance?】

“Yes.”

【Prompt: Please enter the Alliance name (no more than four characters).】

Mo Yan pondered for a moment, and a word appeared in his mind.

“Cangming.”

【Prompt: Alliance Cangming created successfully! You have become the Alliance Leader of Alliance Cangming!】

【Prompt: Alliance functions have been enabled. Please check the Lord panel for details.】

Mo Yan opened the Lord panel, and indeed, an Alliance option appeared.

He clicked on the Alliance interface, and detailed information appeared before his eyes.

Especially the Alliance Technology and Alliance Store, they were practically tailor-made for him.
