It started after Leo visited the Butterfly Pavilion to et Nabi and Tang Jiaofu to have a eting regarding the rcenary Union. In a way, it was a regular eting between three founding mbers to talk about the direction and the future of the Union.
Leo shared the knowledge he had to help both of them know the latest developnt in the Capital and outside.
However, during the eting, Tang Jiaofu had received shocking news.
"Nabi, Leo. Have you heard about the change of Murim Alliance's leadership?"
"Murim Alliance's leader has changed?" Leo asked, surprised.
Xue Wang was replaced by another person? What happened in the Capital after he left?
'Could it be the effect of us killing Torso?'
That was his only guess, but he couldn't be sure. Supre Evil's Followers made a faster move than he had expected. They probably planned to end everything, just like him. That was why they prepared their own attack.
"Yes, it's true. According to my informant, a new leader has been appointed to the Alliance just before we held this eting. His na is Kang Jian. He's not well-known, and no one knows where he ca from. But one thing is clear... He defeated Xue Wang and stripped him of his position."
"Defeated Xue Wang?!"
This ti, Nabi was the one who was surprised. She didn't expect Xue Wang to lose his position and beco a loser.
Everyone knew that the Murim Alliance Leader was a powerhouse that was trying to break through 9 Stars. No one could co close to his strength and his experience.
So, how could this happen?
"Yes. Apparently, Xue Wang was caught off-guard by Kang Jian's power and technique. They fought in the mountains and he lost. The trace of the battle can still be found in the surrounding, and the Murim Alliance mbers are shocked."
Surely, they were. But, Leo had a strange feeling.
Sothing was fishy.
"I'll go and check the news."
Leo didn't have the ti to ponder. He imdiately contacted Sheng without thinking about how busy the Emperor was.
If what Tang Jiaofu told him was true, the Murim Alliance was going to make a move soon. They couldn't waste ti.
The communication device connected him with the Emperor, and Sheng's voice echoed in his ear.
"I believe you've heard about what happened and contacted ."
"Yes, Your Majesty. About that..."
"Everything is true. All my preparation is for naught. This is a great blow to our plan. But, we still have a chance." The Emperor said, "The Murim Alliance's movent has been disrupted. They lost their leader and are currently in a chaotic state. The mbers aren't in a hurry to accept the new leader, and there are rumors of rebellion."
A rebellion.
Sweet words in Leo's ear. He could use this chance to strike. Annexing the mbers into the rcenary Union would be the best course of action. They could grow in strength while eliminating their enemies.
"Your Majesty, may I propose a plan?"
"Go ahead, Leo. Tell what you have in mind."
Leo did.
After a discussion with the Emperor, they decided to implent the plan imdiately. The discussion was heard by Nabi and Tang Jiaofu, who looked at Leo as if he was so kind of monster.
Who would be able to contact and talk with the Emperor so casually and easily?
Even the Alliance Leader, who was one of the most powerful people in the Murim, couldn't achieve that.
Yet, Leo did that. And without any kind of appointnt.
Before their communication was cut off, the Emperor left words that made the two leaders of their own factions speechless.
"I am counting on you, my friend."
Friend.
The Emperor said that word to Leo, soone who was an outsider and not part of his faction.
Nabi and Tang Jiaofu were speechless.
"I shouldn't be surprised anymore, yet here I am, speechless. How... Forget about it. I will prepare my clan and get them ready for the war." Tang Jiaofu shook his head, his gaze focused. He left first after bowing to the other two.
"And, I will do the sa. The Butterfly Pavilion has been waiting for a long ti." Nabi nodded, her eyes sharp. "I will give orders and make sure everyone is ready. Hao Sect and other allies will also be notified."
"I'll contact the others and start the plan. It's ti for the Outcast group to finish what we started."
Leo stood up and clapped his hand.
"Now, let's begin our counterattack."
"Ah, Leo. Before that..."
The blue-haired woman called out to him. She leaned forward. Due to her sexy body, her clothes were pushed together, and her cleavage was exposed from her tight outfit.
Her expression was serious, and her eyes were focused.
"Have you ever considered being the Butterfly Pavilion's Master? Just take over my duty and I shall be yours."
"Master of the Butterfly Pavilion? Are you asking to beco the leader of your group? Why should I do that?"
"Because you're a smart and powerful man." Nabi answered, her finger was moving on his chest toward his chin, "If the counterattack is successful, the rcenary Union and the Hao Sect's relationship will beco even more solid. The Alliance won't have a place anymore. And, I'll need to step down, because I want our mbers to live honestly, as rcenary Union mbers."
She was a strong woman who was not afraid of anything. However, the way she looked at Leo was different. It was filled with admiration and respect.
"Say, am I not attractive enough? If you want, I can offer my body. It's the best you will ever get." She leaned closer, her breath brushing his cheek. "I am a professional. If you want, I can show you heaven and hell. You don't have to worry about anyone finding out."
Leo chuckled, amused by her words.
"You're a shaless woman."
"What can I say? I'm not a saint, and I've never claid to be. If you're interested, co and find ." She winked, her lips curved into a smirk. "It's fun when it's a secret."
He couldn't help but smile.
"Let's see what happens." He said, "And I will think about your proposal."
Being the Hao Sect's master wasn't bad. Leo had his own goal and vision. He didn't know what kind of person he was in this world, but he didn't think it would hurt.
After all, his life was filled with adventure and excitent.
And the only reason stopping him from agreeing to Nabi's proposal so easily was... to tease her. She pushed her body against him, her cleavage pressed against his chest. Her sweet perfu entered his nose, and her body was hot.
"You're playing with fire."
He didn't respond, only grinning.
The naughty adventure in the Capital had lowered his aversion to sexual desire. And, he was a bit curious.
"Am I? I thought you were a lightning, not fire."
"Hmm, you're right."
She smirked, and her finger moved toward his lips, her touch light and gentle.
"You are a very interesting man, Leo. I'm glad we've beco allies."
" too."
After that, they parted ways. Nabi returned to her Butterfly Pavilion, and Leo headed to his base. He didn't continue the conversation, not because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't.
He needed to focus on the counterattack. Read new adventures at empire
After his arrival at the base, he imdiately finds Wandering Sword Saint to tell him about the news regarding Xue Wang. Among other people, Xiao Ah Tian was looking forward to the fight the most.
"You an, he's gone? Who's the new leader?"
"His na is Kang Jian. Not many people know about him, but apparently, he has defeated the Alliance Leader and took control of the group. Hao Sect is currently investigating his background and the possible connection he has with the Alliance."
"Interesting."
Betraying Leo's expectation of his reaction, the Wandering Sword Saint grinned widely. His hand holding the sword handle was trembling in excitent.
"If this Kang Jian fellow could defeat Xue Wang, doesn't that an he's stronger? I can't wait to et him!"
"Are you sure?" Leo frowned, "Are you not disappointed?"
"Hah! Foolish question. I've been looking forward to fighting strong people, not Xue Wang himself. Just in the past, that guy is the known strongest, and I was a little sad about not having a chance to face him. But now, there's soone better."
The Wandering Sword Saint was like a kid who just received a new toy.
"Soone who defeated the strongest. Doesn't that an he's the real strongest?! Oh, I can't wait to find out."
"Hmm, I hope you get the chance to test his strength."
"Oh, I will. Mark my words. I will defeat him and prove my strength. And you will help set the stage for that."
"Don't worry about it."
Leo was a bit worried, but he didn't show it on his face. He didn't know about the new Alliance Leader, and there was no information about him in the novel.
But he could leave him to Wandering Sword Saint. Surely, the old man would have a good ti fighting him, and Leo could gather data from the battle.
