Seized by the System

Early the next day, Vigilante A sat on the Sky Eagle and flashily set out.

That was because Fang Ning would get dizzy on the Flying Sword.

He did not know how to use the Space Diversion Technique, and riding a plane would be too lowly of his status. Fortunately, Sky Eagle degenerated after accepting its Master and was fooled by Fang Ning into carrying him for a ride, that he was able to enjoy the treatment of a shared ride.

If Fang Ning were to say what the difference between sword handling and riding a mount was, it would be the impression. It was no wonder why although all those deities in myths could obviously fly, most of them chose to sit on a mount instead.

The flying sword was too quick. An ordinary person would not be able to see it pass by with their naked eyes, and there would not be any impression made.

In comparison, the Sky Eagle was much slower. However, it had a handsome and majestic figure when it flapped its wings. Every time it passed a gathering point, there would be children below shouting and chasing after it.

“Look, that eagle’s so huge! It’s bigger than a plane!”

“It’s a Divine Eagle. That must be an eagle raised by the gods!”

“I want to the gods to be my Master!”

“You have no chance. The gods will only take an interest in me.”

As a result, the children start fighting over who was qualified to be the apprentice of a god…

The Sky Eagle took half an hour to fly from Qi City to the prairie in Guifang. Its speed had indeed increased, it was more than ten times faster than before.

Fang Ning remembered that the Sky Eagle could only fly 400km/h, which was comparable to the speed of a high-speed rail. However, Guifang was at least a few thousand kilometers away from Qi City.

As expected, it was indeed remarkable now that it had entered Lake-level.

Lying on the Sky Eagle’s head, the great green insect started to sing.

“I want to fly from East to West,

“To attend a banquet, with great zest.

“Above the blue skies,

“Soaring free and high.

“No one can beat,

“My yearning for delicious treats…”

Fang Ning remained silent and calm. The song was quite energetic… Besides, although he did not know the rhythm, it was enough if he knew the rhymes.

That day, the Sky Eagle reached the venue of the given Fellowship Meeting. Fang Ning looked down from a high altitude.

Below, he only saw white yurts adorning the withered grassland.

Looking from above, they were arranged in circles, with a large red carpet laid out in the middle. It was very conspicuous when viewed from the air.

At this time, Fang Ning vaguely heard the voices from a group of people coming from far below.

“Look at that Divine Eagle. The Venerable One must be here!”

“Quickly go and welcome them.”

Along with the voices, a group of people gathered around a middle-aged man with broad eyebrows and fierce features, who had floated up from below.

Fang Ning straightened himself up and descended from the Sky Eagle’s body.

“Duke Yun, I hope you’re well.” He Hold-fist-saluted the male leader.

“Thank you for your concern, Venerable One. I’m quite well. Have you been very busy lately?” Duke Yun smiled.

“Hehe, not that much,” Fang Ning said honestly.

“Congratulations, Venerable One, it’s rare to have leisure time, but it’s also my luck to be able to invite the Venerable One to attend the meeting.” Duke Yun said sincerely.

“Alright, let’s go down first. We shouldn’t let the guests wait too long,” Fang Ning would not say that he always had leisure time, but he was much happier than them, who had to worry about stately matters every single day.

“This way, Venerable One.

“After you.”

Fang Ning stopped being too courteous. With Duke Yun’s invitation, he floated down first.

At this time, in the group of people behind Duke Yun, an otherworldly old man as well as a pair of male and female attendants stood out particularly prominent in the accompanying crowd with their different manners.

Of course, compared to Vigilante A’s elegant demeanor, as well as the crowd’s ostentation, it was not conspicuous anymore.

At this time, the man and woman exchanged looks with each other. The young man said enviously, “That’s how a true gentleman should be.”

The young woman was unconvinced, “Senior Brother’s Jade Sword Technique would easily replace that as long as reaches the ultimate state.”

These two were China’s Jade Sword Clan Clan Master Lin’s final disciples, who the Azure Mountain wanted to take away after regarding them as qualified one year ago.

Although Sir System worked diligently 24 hours per day, others were not just being idle either.

A year or so later, the three people used their ‘natural trait’ Jade Sword Technique and recovered more than half by participating in battles all around. The Jade Sword worked by feeding their host by killing. It was a type that grew stronger and the more one fought.

The Jade Sword Technique was a spiritual sword. Used against their enemies, they worked similarly like the spiritually-controlled mechs secretly created by the Truth Department. However, in regards to the flexibility and lethality, the Jade Sword Technique was much more superior.

When fighting against enemies, there was no need to fight in person. The safety aspect was must stronger.

Thanks to this, Clan Leader Lin was near Lake-level, and the two disciples were already Pond-level. It was no wonder that Junior Sister was so proud.

‘When you gradually pull down your outstanding peers, you’ll have a feeling of ‘no heroes in this world can be like me’.’

“Alright, let’s go and meet the people’s hero.” Clan Leader Lin called the two disciples and fluttered down.

…

On the red carpet surrounded by yurts arranged in rings, the tables have been lined up with flowers and fruits. They looked especially beautiful.

Fang Ning and Duke Yun sat together. To be honest, he preferred to stay at home, so he did not like to attend crowded occasions.

However, he discovered that his character had gradually changed over the past year.

He became fond of attending such crowded occasions and especially liked the feeling of being surrounded by people.

He understood the reason very well. It was because in a venue with so many people, he usually acted like a student, an employee, a common citizen, or someone who was educated, taught, and fooled…

How many students/employees liked meetings?

A few.

Those were the few students or employees that would take to the stage to receive their awards and give their acceptance speeches…

It was precisely because he was not restrained, that the chances for the gradually becoming lazy Fang Ning to get such opportunities were sharply decreasing.

However, it was very different now. With Sir System’s help, Fang Ning could act from time to time.

The System never cared about the human’s honor, and Fang Ning was the type to unreservedly take everything for himself and not leave a single thing behind.

He chatted along with Duke Yun, and before long, the venue was filled with guests. There were really no empty spots left!

Indeed, wherever Vigilante A appeared, was the center of the world.

The seats were arranged in ring formations. The seats closer to the center of the circle were all heads of strong forces and powerhouses from all around.

There were various groups from China, public figure cultivators from friendly neighboring countries, as well as many western White powerhouses. There were even several tribal chiefs who traveled all the way from remote Africa.

Duke Yun excused himself and walked to the center of the venue, and said with a deep voice.

“Thank you to everyone who is here. Some are from mainland China, some are from overseas, some are Huaxia descendants, and some are from foreign lands, but no matter who you are, I’m still incredibly grateful to you.”

The crowd remained silent. All of them knew clearly what the purpose of this meeting was.

After the Divine Gate, the demon clan began to integrate formally. The rising trend was obvious.

In the wild forests, grasslands, mountains and lakes, rivers and seas, places that were sparsely populated by humans had mostly become demon playgrounds.

If not for the Pharos of the East casting light in all directions, who knew how many cases of humans being eaten by demons would occur every day.

Like in those ancient myths, demons eating humans were normal. They were only concerned with the fattiness and greasiness of the meat.

It just so happened that the humans were currently facing the threat of the moon crisis. Regular government departments all over the world had been struggling to cope with the rising momentum of the demon race.

The individuals in the Demon Alliance were not fools either. Although they gathered the hatred of the demons, they would not clash with humans immediately.

After the establishment of the Alliance, they were no longer scattered sand. They had to concentrate on accumulating cultivation resources.

If they wanted to accumulate resources, they could not come into conflict with the humans just yet. They could not plunder, and instead had to find the means themselves. They had to find a place for cultivation, as well as a place where vitality herbs grow…

For now, the demons could not touch the mines that humans had long since occupied and developed, the cultivation areas, and the developed medicinal fields…

They needed to avoid places important to the humans’, and choose some remote places and land where vitality resources gathered.

The official authorities were busy. So long as the demons did not take the initiative to challenge the humans, the authorities would only be able to turn a blind eye for the time being.

It would be the turn of those civil cultivation forces to suffer.

That was because these large forces, which were mainly composed of civil cultivators, would often place mountain gates and bases in remote mountains to avoid interference from official authorities and be independent.

Cloud Fog City was an example, but it was also true of other large human forces. Great heroes think alike, that was all.

Previously, the mine stolen by the demons that were on Cloud Fog City’s territory was originally a low-grade mineral production with no developmental value. However, as soon as the Era of Vitality arrived, it underwent changes and became a valuable cultivation resource.

Only these non-governmental forces took the lead in intensifying conflicts with the demon race, not the formal institutions.

Each and every one of them suffered and felt the pain keenly, so it was not unusual that they would take the initiative to organize in order to save themselves.

On the present day, among the civil cultivator forces, the only one with the rallying force to let heroes around the world gather together and come up with countermeasures was Cloud Fog City, which had been endorsed by Vigilante A before.
