I Am Overlord

Chapter 1441: Guardians Guild

Xiang Shaoyun might be the young sect master in name, but he was basically a sect master already. Thus, he personally gave the higher-ups their rewards. As for the normal disciples and overseers, others would distribute the rewards on his behalf. After asking about the events of the past two years, he learned that the Di Sect had attacked them once. Fury covered his face when he found out about that.

After learning all he needed to know, he sent everyone away. Only Devouring Ghost, Green Ghost, Despair, Pang Tongyuan, Old Yao, and Qian Furen were left behind. These six would become his close confidants in the sect. This was the very first time Qian Furen had been accorded such trust. He was wild with joy, feeling greatly thankful for his decision years ago to stay loyal to the sect.

Qian Furen was no longer the Ziling City's governor. Instead, a cousin from his clan had taken over the position. As for himself, he now resided in the sect, becoming a high-ranking elder that controlled a portion of the sect's wealth. He wielded much more power in his hands than a governor.

"I'll be making a few announcements. Firstly, Green Ghost will be appointed as a guardian elder. He will continue taking charge of the Ghostface Sect and the sect's information gathering. Secondly, Despair will also be appointed as a guardian elder. He will be in charge of being my personal guard and will answer only to me. His main job will be to protect my family members. Thirdly, Pang Tongyuan will remain the internal affairs elder, in charge of all general affairs of the sect. Fourthly, Old Yao will be the chief elder of the Medicine Hall. He will be given full control over all herbs below the sovereign grade in the sect. Fifthly, Qian Furen will be appointed as the financial affairs elder and will be in charge of all matters concerning the wealth of the sect and our subsidiary organizations," said Xiang Shaoyun solemnly.

Everyone bowed and expressed their gratitude, the wide smiles on their faces showing their joy. In the past, the task distribution in the sect was rather chaotic with Xiang Shaoyun's absence. Furthermore, there was a sense of illegitimacy for them to take on their tasks without an official appointment. Now that everyone had been appointed to a clearly defined position, they were naturally overjoyed.

Xiang Shaoyun continued, "From today onward, I need all of you to work together and accelerate the growth of all our overseers and disciples. We should also start developing the nearby mountains and build independent training bases. The overseers and disciples will be given more tempering of life and death. We can't allow them to continue slacking. If needed, you can even send them to the Devil Domain and have them fight with their lives on the line. I want to fill the sect with experts capable of holding their own."

"As your command, overlord (young sect master)!" everyone answered at the same time.

"Devouring Ghost, I have a task for you. Immediately go and bring Big Brother Du and Big Sister Hua Cheng back. Even if they're dead, I want their corpses back," said Xiang Shaoyun.

Du Xuanhao had left the sect many years ago to get his revenge. Eventually, Hua Cheng also left and went looking for him. With the two still missing, it was understandable that Xiang Shaoyun was worried about them.

"Yes, overlord," answered Devouring Ghost before vanishing into thin air.

"Green Ghost, pay more attention to the Di Clan. They have already ended their seclusion and must have found a place to settle down. A day will come when we settle our scores with them," said Xiang Shaoyun.

"Yes, overlord!" Green Ghost left with his task.

"Anything else? We'll end the meeting here if there's nothing else," asked Xiang Shaoyun.

"Overlord, I think the time has come for us to try advancing into a tier-8 organization," said Pang Tongyuan.

Old Yao agreed, "Yes. I think the same as well."

"The requirements to become a tier-8 organization are quite high. I'm afraid our Ziling Sect is still somewhat lacking," said Qian Furen.

To become a tier-8 organization, apart from sufficient Heaven Battling Realm experts, an organization also needed a large enough population and enough subsidiary organizations and cities under their rule.

At present, the Ziling Sect only ruled 18 cities and 33 subsidiary organizations of different sizes. They were still quite far away from meeting all the requirements to become a tier-8 organization.

At the very least, a tier-8 organization needed to have 20 Heaven Battling Realm experts, no less than 100 Sovereigns, no less than two tier-7 subsidiary organizations, no less than six tier-6 subsidiary organizations, and no less than 50 cities under their rule. Only then would an organization apply for an advancement at the Guardians Guild.

The Guardians Guild was an incredibly powerful organization that was a neutral power. They would not partake in any events of the dominion unless it concerned the dominion's survival. The members of the guild consisted of the members of several ancient organizations and superpowers.

In total, there were nine figureheads in the guild. The Immortal Road Chamber, Guangling Palace, and Celestial Alliance each took two spots among the nine figureheads while the gravekeeper elder was also one of the nine. These people were all supreme existences among humanity. Not to mention meeting them, a regular person wouldn't even know of their existence.

Examples of their worth were the fortresses suppressing the four Devil Domain entrances at the four Bloodsin Cities and the treasures that could be traded with contribution points. All these were provided by the guild. The guild's sole purpose of existence was to protect the dominion against all invaders.

The guild had a base in each region. With their unique status, nobody could disturb their peace unless absolutely necessary. As for the advancement of organizations, that naturally fell within their purview.

"Advancing into a tier-8 organization is something we must do," Xiang Shaoyun made the decision.

The Ziling Sect was something his father had personally built, and his father's greatest wish was to grow the sect into a tier-8 organization. Now that there was a chance for them to advance, Xiang Shaoyun naturally wouldn't give up without trying.

"How should we deal with our lack of subsidiary organizations and cities?" asked Qian Furen.

Pang Tongyuan and Old Yao also looked at Xiang Shaoyun, waiting to listen to his plans.

"Conquer," said Xiang Shaoyun with a smile on his face.

Everyone present blanked out slightly before turning solemn. They found that their young sect master was finally starting to display his ambitions.

Despair had a look of contemplation as he thought, Perhaps this overlord can also help me settle my grudge.

Done with the meeting, everyone left. Xiang Shaoyun had someone summon Liu Yanran over. Xiang Shaoyun had heard that Liu Yanran was here as a guest, but he also wondered if she also had some other reasons to be here.

Liu Yanran was no less beautiful than Gong Qinyin. Dressed in a green outfit, she carried a faint fragrance that could cause one to be intoxicated wherever she went. As her dainty figure arrived in the hall, her eyes rippled with a luster that could cause any man to lose his reason.

"Yanran greets you, Young Master Xiang," said Liu Yanran with a slight bow.

As she stood before Xiang Shaoyun, her heartbeat rapidly. Xiang Shaoyun was way too good-looking. Furthermore, his temperament had changed completely, reaching a level far beyond his previous temperament. He was akin to a majestic child of heavens, so high beyond her that she felt inferior just being in his presence.

"Miss Liu, I have something to talk to you about," said Xiang Shaoyun. His face turned serious as he said, "The Brightflower Chamber should submit to the Ziling Sect."
