I Have A Bunch Of Saint Apprentices

With both hands clasped in front of his chest, Shen Jun bowed to his friend.    

Ao Xing immediately shook his sleeves and returned the bow.    

"Thank you for your advice."    

"Just now, Ao Xing was impolite. Please forgive him."    

The two of them clasped their hands and bowed to each other in unison.    

After standing up, they both had smiles on their faces.    

After Shen Jun got back to his senses, he immediately threw himself into the endless preparations for the war.    

Warfare was an extremely huge project.    

Not to mention that the scale of this war was so huge that all the forces in the Upper Realm were going to participate in it.    

The number of people participating in the war would be calculated in units of ten billion.    

After the battle in the Moonhowl Sect, more than ninety percent of the top forces in the Upper Realm had joined the alliance.    

This news spread throughout the entire Upper Realm at an astonishing speed.    

"Hey, hey, have you heard? The Shen Royal Sect is really famous now! All the top forces in the Upper Realm have signed a blood contract and joined the Sect Master."    

"Who wouldn't have heard of this? I think that in less than five years, the entire Upper Realm will belong to the Shen Royal Sect!"    

"He's really a young hero. I heard that the Sect Master even has the support of the Dragon Clan. If my son has one percent, no, one in ten thousand of his potential, I will be willing to die!"    

"Pfft! What a bullsh*t hero! I think that Shen Jun has already colluded with the Devil Clan. Did you forget the scene in the crystal a few days ago? Millions of lives were taken, and they were killed just like that. How can such a person be called a hero? It's more like a devil!"    

"I don't like to hear you say that. In all of history, which great figure has ever been able to accomplish anything? Which one of them is not a decisive and ruthless character? If you say that he is a devil, then I think you are just jealous of his achievements."    

He casually walked into any tavern or restaurant.    

All the discussions about the Shen Royal Sect and Shen Jun could be heard by his ears.    

The difference was that the Shen Royal Sect that people were talking about was no longer the Devil Sect.    

As the saying goes, three people make a tiger. The direction of public opinion always followed the trend.    

Previously, when the Shen Royal Sect issued an alliance call, there were very few people in the Upper Realm who responded. Everyone thought that the Devil Clan's invasion was an excuse that the Shen Royal Sect had made up with other top-notch forces.    

However, now, nine out of ten of the top-notch forces in the Upper Realm had joined the Shen Royal Sect. Even the Dragon Clan, a race that only existed in legends, had appeared in public.    

This made them have no choice but to believe it.    

Almost overnight, the image of the Shen Royal Sect in the hearts of the people in the Upper Realm had gone through a 180-degree change.    

From a "Devil Sect", it became a hero who protected the Upper Realm.    

Even if there were still a few conspirators who insisted on their own views, it was no big deal.    

As a result, the speed at which the establishment of the alliance had also increased greatly.    

The participation of the top forces in the Upper Realm not only helped to rectify the name of the Shen Royal Sect, but it also gave everyone in the world a very good lead.    

Those sects of Class A, Class B, and even those that were not even of the lowest level, when they saw that the usually high and mighty overlords had already bowed their heads to the Shen Royal Sect, how could they continue to resist?    

Previously, when the Sect Master had given them half a year, everyone still thought that he was joking.    

But the result?    

When the half a year was up, there was not a single word of nonsense, and they directly sent out fifty-five True Immortal Experts to slaughter the northern side for ten thousand miles!    

The hundreds of thousands of projection crystals were all live-streamed, and several sects were completely destroyed, with nearly ten million casualties!    

Just as everyone thought that the Shen Royal Sect's action would definitely attract the attacks of the Upper Realm, they heard that those huge sects and aristocratic families had all compromised, and almost all of them had joined the alliance of the Shen Royal Sect.    

After that, the Shen Royal Sect once again announced that they would give the forces of the Upper Realm another year.    

They ordered all the forces to sign the blood contract to join the alliance within a year. Otherwise, they would be treated as spies of the Devil Clan.    

The entire family would be executed!    

This declaration was made by the combined forces of the Shen Royal Sect and dozens of other forces in the Upper Realm.    

The threat in between the words made even the itinerant cultivators feel a chill down their spines.    

The strong threat naturally brought about a clear effect.    

After the declaration was made, the entrance of the Shen Royal Sect, which was already crowded with people, was almost squeezed to the point of bursting!    

Even Ao Xing did not expect that there would be so many forces in the Upper Realm.    

In the end, Shen Jun was really out of options. He directly ordered the construction of a temporary encampment around the territory of the Shen Royal Sect.    

If he didn't care about these people, the mountain gate of the Shen Royal Sect would be crushed to pieces.    

At this time, half a year had passed since Shen Jun issued the second declaration.    

There were only eight years left until the day of the invasion of the Devil Clan in the prophecy.    

Shen Jun sat at the head of the Fingerpointing Mountain Pavilion. The seats in the nine-story pavilion had already been filled up by half.    

Every three months, Shen Jun would convene an alliance meeting. This was already the second time.    

At present, those who could sit in the Fingerpointing Mountain Pavilion were all seniors of the aristocratic families and sects.    

Any one of them could be thrown outside and become a hegemon of a region.    

However, in the Fingerpointing Mountain Pavilion, they all appeared so mediocre, and they were even unremarkable.    

All the glory and all the shining titles were gathered on the white clothed youth at the head of the pavilion.    

Shen Jun said softly, "Everyone is here, right? Let's talk about the matter of the devil race's sailing route first."    

The leader of the top forces, the sect master of the Yin Wind Cult, immediately stood up and cupped his fists. He said, "Reporting to the Alliance Master, we have advanced from Juetian City to the north. Now, we have already opened up the sailing route to the center of the Upper Realm. In nine months at most, we will be able to completely open up the sailing route."    

"Nine months?" Shen Jun frowned and waved his hand, "You only have six months. If you can't do it yourself, then go down."    

"This... Yes, I understand!" A layer of sweat appeared on the Sect Master's forehead, but he did not dare to refute, so he could only retreat.    

"How's the preparation of the flying shuttle going? How's it going?" Shen Jun did not even bother to look up as he continued to ask indifferently.    

"Reporting to the Sect Master." A white-haired old man with a sturdy figure stood out and said loudly, "Our Alchemy Sect has fully activated its firepower, and we have already exceeded the target."    

"When the various sects send those small flying shuttles over to be modified, I believe that the efficiency will be further improved."    

"It's just that... The materials and Spirit Crystals used to refine them are a little..."    

Before the old man could finish his words, Shen Jun waved his hand and interrupted him, "I understand. Go to the Treasure Pavilion and give 100 million middle-grade Spirit Crystals. If you need any materials, then go to Yao Yuanlong. He will go to the other factions in the Alliance to collect them."    

"Next."
