Feng Tingxian, as a sixth-order array mage and a seventh-order cultivator himself, still has a certain status in the alliance headquarters, which can be seen from Lu Yi following him all the way to his residence. Along the way, the two met a lot of sixth-order and seventh-order monks, and when they saw Feng Tingxian, they took the initiative to greet him enthusiastically, and even took Lu Yi to be taken care of, and some people saw that Feng Tingxian seemed to be very enthusiastic about Lu Yi, and even thought that Lu Yi was Feng Tingxian's newly accepted disciple or a relative or something, so even he received a lot of praise and praise. On the other hand, Feng Tingxian behaved very calmly and indifferently, just nodded slightly to the person who greeted him, as a gesture of returning the courtesy, and few people could make him take the initiative to stop and chat a few words, looking very arrogant. Lu Yi was puzzled, obviously he could feel from the conversation with Feng Tingxian along the way that this person was not the kind of master who was proud of his talents, but why did he behave like this in front of others?

It wasn't until he came to a big mansion that was obviously better than Lu Yi's current residence and entered the largest living room that Feng Tingxian retired from the subordinates who were in charge of serving him with a blushing face, and Feng Tingxian became extremely enthusiastic to greet Lu Yi.

"Senior Brother Feng, junior brother doesn't quite understand, why do you always show a demeanor that you don't want to get close to in front of people?" Lu Yi was really curious about Feng Tingxian's performance along the way.

"Senior Brother Lu, don't you know, the alliance headquarters is a place that attaches great importance to strength, and it is also a very snobbish place, if you want to gain a foothold here, either you have a huge sect or family power behind you, or you have an admirable ability like your teacher, otherwise, you have to find a big enough backer, otherwise, nothing good will fall on your head. The current alliance, because it has been peaceful for too long and too long, has long lost the virtues of sharing hatred and hatred, helping each other, and being enthusiastic and righteous, and all that remains is the unhealthy tendencies of mountains and deceit, intrigue, intrigue and intrigues, especially the return of those forces in the past hundred years, which has made the world worse day by day, and some upright people who have good intentions and disdain to go with the tide have been squeezed out. When you get along with people at the Alliance Headquarters, you must remember not to really make friends, otherwise you may be betrayed at any time. The reason why I show that kind of high-minded appearance is actually to better protect myself. I was originally a casual cultivator, and I entered the alliance by chance, I grew up in the alliance, but I am very unaccustomed to the current atmosphere of the alliance, I don't want to be with those unbearable people, and I don't want to be excluded by others, so I have always belonged to that kind of marginal person, when I was still a fifth-order array mage, although I also received a certain amount of attention, but in the eyes of those spiritual monks and big families, it was nothing at all, and there was not even any force to win over me, but some high-level monks of the Imperial Spirit would befriend me because they wanted me。 Later, I was stuck in the bottleneck of the fifth order on the way to the formation, and after the Venerable Master came to the alliance, I went out on business with his old man by chance, and under his on-demand, I was able to break through the bottleneck and enter the ranks of the sixth order array mage, and only then did I truly become a person with a certain weight in the alliance. Not only did high-ranking monks begin to come into contact with me, but they also began to be co-opted by various forces, and my status was instantly elevated. You see, where I live now, there is not only a deep mansion compound, but also a subordinate servant, and the treatment is second only to that of a spiritual monk. However, the direct consequence of this is that all the forces are staring at me and don't want me to fall into one of the sides, so there are always some people who approach me with one kind of purpose or another to befriend me, and these people who associate with me and even some of their subordinates are all sent by various forces to spy on me, and they don't want to see their opponents add a weight and get a boost. If I fall to either side, I will definitely be hit by the forces of the opposite side, and instead of falling victim to the intrigue between them, it is better for me to maintain the cold and arrogant style that I am now in, ignoring no one, and not going far from anyone. This can be regarded as a last resort to protect one's self. ”

After listening to Feng Tingxian's words and contacting the information Lu Yi got before, now Lu Yi feels more and more that the alliance is a pot of muddy water, so many spoons are stirring in it, and the direction is inconsistent, so it will naturally be a mess and bump into each other without a sense of direction. However, Yaoshan disciples like Lu Yi have a very powerful sect as the backing, and there have been people under the sect who have served in the alliance for many years, so it will not be too obvious, and the few loose cultivators that Lu Yi came into contact with after coming to the headquarters really reflected the current pathology of the alliance, which made Lu Yi even more determined to pull a vote of his own at the alliance headquarters, and he aimed at scattered people like Feng Tingxian and Ye Hua.

Lu Yi stayed here with Feng Tingxian until nightfall, and the two chatted a lot, including anecdotes about the alliance, as well as experiences about the formation, etc., at the same time, Lu Yi also asked about Jin Dongzi's whereabouts, and learned a shocking news: After the alliance appeared in the Chaos Sea, the alliance started a big move. According to the location of the demons' appearance, when the demons withdrew from the mainland, they should have established a lot of secret strongholds in the uninhabited chaotic overseas sea, laying an ambush for one day to return to the mainland. Yes, assuming that the demons counterattack the continent again this time, they should attack from the Chaos Sea. Therefore, the alliance has built 10,480 castle fortresses along the coastline of the Chaos Sea in the four regions, and the number of fortresses in each region varies according to the length of the coastline of each region, but it can basically connect the coastlines of each domain to form a defensive belt, so as to respond to all calls and take into account both the beginning and the end, and use it as the first formal line of defense against the attack of the demons.

The defense levels of these 10,480 fortresses are all designed according to the standard of being able to resist the attack power of the early stage cultivators, and the defensive arrays of each fortress are personally presided over by the alliance's eighth-order array mages. For this reason, the alliance's existing less than thirty eighth-order array mages were all sent out, leading a large number of fifth, sixth, and seventh-level formation mages to various places to carry out intense construction, Feng Tingxian also came back for a short rest this time, and in another half a month, he would rush to one of the fortresses again to replace the other formation mages there to continue their work. Because of the urgency of the situation, the Alliance's plan is to complete the construction of the fortress and send people to garrison it within three hundred years, so now not only the array mages are busy, but other talents in all aspects are also stepping up training to fill the huge personnel gap in these fortresses. Moreover, each fortress also has to select the commander of the garrison, and the selection of the commander is also stepping up screening, which reminds Lu Yi of the purpose of the alliance to summon himself and others this time, and it is estimated that it should also be linked to the fortress.

With a trace of inexplicable expectation, Lu Yi stayed in the alliance for two months, during these two months, no one provoked Lu Yi, Lu Yi's life was very leisurely and peaceful, except for walking around in the headquarters, it was to drink and chat with a group of new and old friends to deepen their feelings. In this way, a group of monks were connected through the way of people looking for people, and gradually formed a fourth-order, The small group dominated by fifth-order monks, in addition to Yaoshan and monks from the Southern Regions, there were also many foreign monks who joined it, and under Lu Yi's deliberate actions, scattered cultivators and personnel from inconspicuous forces such as small sects and small sects accounted for more than half of the number of small groups, these people had nothing to rely on in the headquarters and had no potential or expertise that could attract the attention of the big forces, so they were also people in the marginal area in the alliance, to put it bluntly, they were high-level cannon fodder cultivated by the alliance, Lu Yi used a little means to let these people surrender to the five bodies that they worshipped, and soon, they sat in the position of the boss of this small group。 And Ye Hua also introduced a few sixth-order monks who were in the same situation as him to Lu Yi, and Lu Yi also pulled them over by the way, because the sixth-order monks were relatively high in the small group, so these sixth-order monks also found their own sense of existence in the small group, and Yanran regarded himself as the elder of this group of juniors, and he was also very concerned about the affairs of this group of little guys in the small group. In this way, the development of this small group has been extremely smooth and has entered a virtuous circle, and more than 40 people have gathered in two months, and there is a tendency to continue to grow and develop.

However, Lu Yi didn't have time, just yesterday, Senior Lu sent someone to inform Lu Yi that he would report to him at the end of the day, and this group of personnel participating in the special training had already arrived. Lu Yi had already communicated his thoughts with Xin Tongfang in advance, and after receiving the notice, Lu Yi specially found them to explain to them, asking them and Ouyang Maniac, Shuangbing and others who would return to the headquarters in the future to develop the small group, but they should try to keep a low profile and not develop too many fifth-order and above cultivators, so as not to attract the attention of other forces and cause unnecessary trouble. Lu Yi still plans to follow the path of being happy at the beginning, making a fortune and developing in a low-key manner. If there is an unavoidable and irresistible change, Lu Yi will tell them to make a big fuss, and everyone knows the best, and when the time comes, the predecessors of Yaoshan will come forward.

During this time, Lu Yi also deliberately paid attention to what Shui Xizi had explained to him before, except for finding that Ma Chongtian, who was competing with Fang Cong, was a side child of the Ma family, and did not find the descendants of the Ma and Jiang families.

At this point, Lu Yi set foot on the alliance headquarters for the first time, and everything went smoothly, which can be regarded as a preliminary foothold.
