“Who said we’re going to use their former sect?”
Guo Jia looked at Old Heretic Huang with a faint smile.
Sects were not allowed in the Green Lotus Territory. However, it was not impossible if they appeared under the guidance of the Green Lotus Territory.
“You’ll find out in two days. Your former disciples from Peach Blossom Island will have the chance to join. However, for you, there’s no possibility.”
After Guo Jia finished speaking, he ignored Old Heretic Huang and focused on his work.
In the next few days, other than continuously taking in commoners from the level-two stargate of the Great Song, the Green Lotus Territory seemed to have fallen silent.
On the fifth day, a notice was posted on the bulletin board of each city.
In the square at the center of Green Lotus City, many commoners were gathered.
“Take a look at this! Are they recruiting soldiers? If they are, I’ll sign up now!”
“Count me in! Soldiers can obtain Myriad Lotus Coins each month. I heard that as long as one is strong enough, it’s not impossible to obtain Myriad Lotus Gold Coins!”
“Don’t even think about it. Didn’t he just recruit once some time ago? It can’t be this soon.”
“That’s right! Don’t be so foolish!”
A group of commoners surrounded the announcement and discussed it. However, when the notice was posted, some people looked surprised.
“Green Lotus Recruitment Order!”
“First: We are conducting another soldier recruitment, which includes Red Lotus soldiers, Nine Howling Wolf Cavalry soldiers, Mystic Yang soldiers, and the lord’s personal guards. We are also conducting another round of recruitment for the Golden Crow Guards and even the Green-robed Soldiers!”
“Second: If you are in the Transcendent realm, you can enter the Martial Arts Tower and establish a “sect”. The leader of the Green-robed Soldiers will personally assess you.”
“Third: We’re seeking talented individuals. If you’re interested, participate in the assessment at the Green Cloud Pavilion. Lord Guo Jia will personally evaluate each candidate!”
There were only three messages on the announcement, but they spread among countless commoners. Soon, all the commoners in Green Lotus City knew about this.
Citizens from other cities also received the Green Lotus Recruitment Order simultaneously.
“The Martial Arts Tower? Is it related to what Old Heretic Huang mentioned?”
In Green Cloud City, Hong Qigong gathered with the others again and learned about the Green Lotus Recruitment Order.
“I believe so. The ‘sect’ in question likely falls under the Green Lotus Territory’s umbrella. But your disciple should have more information on this.”
Wang Chongyang nodded and looked at Hong Qigong.
In the past few days, they had occasionally cultivated and gathered together to wait for Mei Changge’s return. Unfortunately, Mei Changge was still at the Dark Wall and had not returned.
“Alright, I’ll ask my disciple.”
Hong Qigong rose from his seat, intending to seek out Guo Jing and inquire about the Martial Arts Tower.
But soon, a figure came to their room.
“Seniors, Master, the lord is back and wishes to meet you.”
Guo Jing was garbed in a green robe adorned with black patterns. The design resembled a sword entwined with a lotus flower, creating a unique motif.
A longsword that resembled white jade hung from his waist. The word ‘Green-robed’ was engraved on the hilt.
“Oh? The lord is back?”
Their eyes brightened. Hong Qigong gazed at Guo Jing in his green attire and sensed that his disciple appeared less reserved than before.
“Good. Let’s talk as we head there.”
Hong Qigong stepped forward and wrapped his arms around Guo Jing’s neck, a curious expression on his face.
“What’s with the Martial Arts Tower?”
“Also, what are the requirements for forming a sect?”
Hong Qigong asked.
The others followed behind the two of them quietly and headed in the direction of the Green Cloud Palace.
Under Guo Jing’s lead, everyone arrived at the Green Cloud Palace.
At that moment, the Green Cloud Palace had ascended to the status of a Grade 6 treasure and had once again expanded significantly. It resembled a genuine palace, with a variety of halls scattered throughout.
Within these halls, gardens, rockeries, and other features had sprouted up around various locations.
“Who are you?”
When Guo Jing and the others arrived outside the Green Cloud Palace, they were stopped by a few guards.
“I’m Green-Robed Tower’s Master, Guo Jing. The lord has summoned these people!”
With a smile on his face, Guo Jing cupped his hands at the Golden Crow Guards guarding outside the Green Cloud Palace.
“Lord Guo, please enter!”
When the Golden Crow Guards heard Guo Jing’s words and examined the jade tablet he presented, they nodded slightly and signaled for them to enter.
“Let’s go, seniors.”
Guo Jing looked back at his master and the others with a smile.
The Golden Crow Guards could be said to be on the same level as his master,
Hong Qigong, and the others. They were only a step away from the Transcendent realm.
Wang Chongyang and the others couldn’t help but sigh in amazement. A guard from the Green Cloud Palace was at the same level as them, causing them to question whether they were still considered talented.
Under Guo Jing’s lead, they soon arrived outside the Green Cloud Palace.
Outside the palace, a woman saw Guo Jing’s group.
“Everyone, please follow me!”
Yu Ying had been aware that Guo Jing was bringing guests, so she had stationed herself as a guard outside the palace and assumed the role of guiding them inside.
Upon spotting Yu Ying, an envious expression flickered across Lin Chaoying’s eyes. Yu Ying possessed skin as smooth as jade, which aroused her envy. Furthermore, Yu Ying was attired in a maid’s uniform that resembled a gown, adding to Lin Chaoying’s curiosity.
After all, Lin Chaoying had never encountered Mei Changge during her time in the Great Song. She only learned later that the Great Song was gone and she joined the Green Lotus Territory alongside Wang Chongyang and the others..
