If he were to let them stay for a few days, perhaps he could be striked off as oblivious. But he wanted to help them start their own clan. If their identities were to be exposed one day, no matter how much they tried to deny a connection with Zhuo Haotian, the Zhuo Family would definitely be implicated.
Tianfeng Jin had incidentally saved Zhuo Haotian as it was convenient. But even after guessing her identity, Zhuo Rong exercised extreme benevolence and took her in. She could not ride on the identity as his saviour and simply accept Zhuo Haotian’s offer.
Xin Yi added on, “What Xiao Jin said is right. This is our business, it is not right of you to interfere.”
Zhuo Haotian said indignantly, “ But you are my savior, why is it inappropriate?”
Tianfeng Jin’s eyebrows creased, “If I say it is inappropriate, then it is inappropriate, why must there be a reason?”
Seeing that he had angered Tianfeng Jin, Zhuo Haotian did not persist any longer. However, his eyes still shone with eagerness, clearly not willing to compromise so easily. Alas, when night fell, Zhuo Haotian appeared once again.
This time, he brought Zhuo Rong.
The minute he entered, Zhuo Rong greeted, “I heard from Haotian that you all wanted to start your own clan?”
Tianfeng Jin nodded indifferently, “I can’t stay here forever.”
“That is true.” Zhuo Rong laughed. Wearing a plain coloured long sleeve shirt, he looked refined and was a contrast to Zhuo Haotian’s loud image. They wondered who Zhuo Haotian had developed his taste from.
“If you want to establish yourselves in the Realm of the Gods, starting your own clan is a good idea. As for the funds to do so, Haotian has told me about it. 10,000 high-grade god stones is nothing to the Zhuo Family. If Lady Tianfeng does not mind, please feel free to use it. Don’t worry about bringing trouble to us. The cooperation that the Zhuo Family’s business has with other clans was not done in a day. Helping our savior start a small clan is not an issue.”
As Gu Lingzhi thought about what he said, she understood what he meant.
A lot of people knew about Tianfeng Jin saving Zhuo Haotian. It is understandable to take out a little bit of money to satisfy the wishes of one\'s savior. On the contrary, should Tianfeng Jin reject his good intentions and others were to find out, the issue of them not being able to set up their clan due to a lack of funds would be even more suspicious and people would wonder why Zhuo Rong did not help her. If she were to graciously accept his help, it would be easier to explain their actions
Gu Lingzhi then gave Tianfeng Jin a look, hinting to her to accept Zhuo Rong’s good intentions.
Seeing this, the remnants of hesitance in Tianfeng Jin disappeared as she thanked Zhuo Rong courteously, “In that case, then I will thank you for your help.”
Zhuo Rong’s eyes flashed as he seemed to realise something between the two of them. He knew that in this group, the person calling the shots was Gu Lingzhi, who had just appeared today. Greeting back courteously, he left with Zhuo Haotian.
The next morning, someone brought over a Storage Ring containing 10,000 god stones.
Never having seen a god stone, Gu Lingzhi took one out to play as soon as the person left. She realised that the god stone was basically an improved version of a spirit stone, the currency used in the Tianyuan Continent. With a dark green colour resembling a precious jewel, it contained more dense and pure spiritual energy than a spirit stone.
Taking these stones, the group went straight to the Feixing Pavilion.
Although it was still early, there were already quite a few people at the pavilion. In the huge hall, there was a big stone tablet placed by the side with information about the various tasks. Right on top, was the wanted list for calling for the people from the Tianyuan Continent.
“I want to see what he wrote about us.” Gu Lingzhi chuckled as she walked towards the wanted list.
In the hall of the Feixing Pavilion, the stone tablet had three faces to it. On the first face, it was an announcement board on various tasks. Anyone who wanted to earn god stones or train could choose a task from here.
The Feixing Pavilion adopted an exchange system. After Martial Artists completed their tasks, they could choose to get a god stone or Contribution Points. Contribution Points could then be exchanged for cultivation material or weapons.
People on the Feixing Pavilion’s wanted list were all huge criminals recognised in the Realm of the Gods.
Looking over the wanted list briefly, Gu Lingzhi realised that the reward for the people from the Tianyuan Continent was a lot less than the reward for the second most wanted criminal. However, it was still placed in the first position because there were a lot of people wanted from the Tianyuan Continent. As for the reason why people from the Tianyuan Continent were wanted was simply because these people who had ascended would have different beliefs and could create chaos in the Realm of the Gods.
For every member caught, the reward was one hundred high-grade god stones. If they could prove that a corpse was one of those that ascended form the Tianyuan Continent, they would also be able to get a reward of fifty god stones.
The reward for catching one of them alive was not a lot. What was noteworthy was that this was a long-term wanted list. As long as they caught a person from the Tianyuan Continent, they could get their rewards any time. There was no limit to the date and there were multiple people who could be caught.
With such a large reward, the people did not need to catch all of them. As long as they caught a few, they would be able to have a luxurious night.
Of course, the reason why the wanted list was so appealing was that all the people that were wanted were all True Gods that had just ascended. The people in the Realm of the Gods were accustomed to being powerful and did not think that anyone who had just arrived from the Tianyuan Continent would be capable of anything. To them, this wanted list was an opportunity for them to earn “free” god stones.
For the past month, the entire Realm of the Gods had been struck by the wave of catching these people that had just ascended. However, there were few that succeeded. Other than a few unlucky ones that were caught in the first few days, the others all hid whenever they felt something was off. Hence, there were not many that were actually caught.
“Alright, let’s go over there to register,” Rong Yuan said as he grabbed onto Gu Lingzhi’s hand.
Gu Lingzhi nodded. Their main objective was to create a safe haven for those from the Tianyuan Continent. This was the only way to prevent their own people from getting sold like objects.
The registration counter for new clans was on level three and a person guided Gu Lingzhi and the rest to level three before leaving.
The four of them walked along the corridor and crossed a few rooms. When they passed the rooms, they saw the rankings of each clan.
The officer in-charge of registration was currently standing in the middle of several middle-class True Gods and discussing with them in a low voice.
A Martial Sage gave the four of them a form to fill up.
Once they finished filling up the form and confirmed with the Feixing Pavilion that they met the criteria, they had to hand over the 10,000 high-grade god stones. Thereafter, they would leave their information with the Feixing Pavilion and would finally qualify to start their clan. In the future when they found an address for the clan, they would report it back to the Feixing Pavilion and then they would have officially established their clan.
Gu Lingzhi lowered her head as she studied the registration form. It was just like Xin Yi had said, as long as their cultivation was at least of a Demigod rank, they qualified to start a clan. They filled up the other information fine, but when it came to filling up the birthplace of the applicant, they had a problem.
They were currently people on the wanted list and were ‘on the run’. They were unregistered in the Realms of the Gods, how were they going to fill this box?
Tianfeng Jin saw the difficult expression on Gu Lingzhi’s face and tilted her head. She saw the box that Gu Lingzhi was struggling with and automatically took the form over. She then filled it up with the identity information that Zhuo Rong had previously prepared for her. Xin Yi also did the same with his identity.
In this manner, they filled up the registration form.
Gu Lingzhi handed the registration form over to the person in charge and paid 10,000 high-grade god stones. The officer in charge of registration requested to test for the cultivation level of Tianfeng Jin and Xin Yi according to the form and confirmed that their cultivation level met the criteria. He then placed a stamp on the bottom of the form, successfully processing their ability to start their own clan.
After the registration officer kept their form, he handed over a white jade badge that was as big as a palm over to Gu Lingzhi and said coldly, “Once you have chosen the address for your clan, you can enter your clan’s name and address into the badge and hand it over to any Feixing Pavilion that is closest to you.”
Gu Lingzhi kept the badge well and thanked the officer before leaving with the group.
Gu Lingzhi could not believe that it was so easy to start a clan and her mood was extremely high as she walked down the stairs. When they were about to reach the first level, they heard noise.
“Oh look, Hunting Cat is back, I wonder what he caught today?”
“The criminals on the wanted list are not in the near vicinity. I don’t think he is turning over a criminal today but he should be exchanging something?”
“No, he is really here to turn over a criminal. Look behind him!”
Following the debating sound, the group of four had also reached level one and looked at where other people were looking at. They saw the man they were talking about, Hunting Cat, and saw the person behind him – Qin Xinran.
Gu Lingzhi’s heart skipped a bit and was about to call out to her. But Rong Yuan was quick to react and quickly suppressed the thought that came into her mind, he simultaneously placed a warm kiss in between her brows. From other people’s perspective, it was just an act of playfulness and love between couples. Only Gu Lingzhi knew that Rong Yuan was giving her a warning.
She relaxed her body and leaned into Rong Yuan’s embrace, ignoring the humored gaze of those around her. Gu Lingzhi pretended not to care as her gaze brushed over Qin Xinran who was walking behind Hunting Cat and realised what was wrong.
Qin Xinran was not walking by herself but was instead being led by a string. The end of the string was held in the hands of the Hunting Cat. Being dragged around, Hunting Cat eventually walked near to where Gu Lingzhi and the rest were standing.
Someone who knew Hunting Cat asked curiously as he saw him dragging around an innocent looking young lady, “Hunting Cat, who have you brought? Aren’t you being too rough with a dainty lady like her?”
Hunting Cat looked at the person that spoke and spoke in a voice that was as hard as how he looked, “She is someone that ascended from the lower realm.”
“An Ascension Member!” The person that asked exclaimed.
“It has been over a month and the glow that surrounds their body when they first came is already gone. With nothing to indicate their identity, how did you catch them?”
“Of course, it is by using his extremely sensitive nose.” Another person mocked, “In the entire mountain range, who doesn’t know that Hunting Cat has experience in catching criminals on the wanted list. As long as a wanted person passes us and he smells it, they would never be able to escape his chase.”
“That is true. With Hunting Cat’s ability, it is still normal for him to be able to catch an Ascension Member.”
The crowd did not hold back as they continued to discuss. Hearing them, Gu Lingzhi’s nails dug into her palms, almost causing blood to spill.
Hunting Cat was actually treating Qin Xinran like an object to be exchanged, she could not let him succeed! It would be more difficult for Qin Xinran to be rescued if she fell into the hands of the Feixing Pavilion!
