Chapter 548: Rules & Weird Mission
Rule number 0: No one would be allowed to leave the Rock Fortress City until a second notice. Everyone inside was pleased to accept that and adapt to the situation.
The Shadow Clan would take care of their basic needs, as well as the control of the place. They could leave a peaceful life as long as they followed the rules and the ruler.
Rule number 1: The Shadow Clan would accept any willing free cultivator that wanted to join them, and would give them quite the treatment as long as they were loyal to the Clan.
They would be assigned missions, and different duties around the place, like maintaining control, or guarding important places and objects.
Rule number 2: Everyone else that didn't want to join the Clan, would have to lead a peaceful life without trying to cause any troubles inside the city.
There were different missions or assignments that they could receive even without becoming part of the Shadow Clan.
And perhaps the easiest, and most tempting mission at the moment was that one. The first special mission of issued by the City Lord.
SSS Special mission: "Continuation of lineage!" The City Lord of Rock Fortress City was willing to treat everyone who took part in the continuation of lineage, with the same right as basic clan members.
In other words, as long as a couple of cultivators gave birth to a child, then both of them would be treated in the same line as basic clan members without joining the Clan.
Furthermore, if they were also members of the Clan, then they would receive extra rewards from the clan, and also a rise in their status.
The more children they gave birth to, the better their reward, and standing in the clan. Their children too would receive special attention and would be raised by the clan.
Cultivating the Clan's martial arts, and also being treated as a bona fide member of the Clan, with all the benefits, and duties that came along with it.
Well regarding that rule number zero, almost everyone in there had expected something like that. After all, the situation didn't allow Tianlong Yun to release them.
Most probably whoever tried anything funny wouldn't understand how it had died, before closing his eyes forever.
Just the presence of those Ascension Boundary Realm experts was enough of a reason for them all to accept Tianlong Yun's rule and shut their mouths.
What they didn't expect though were the other rules, and especially that special mission. Tianlong Yun's forces were quite limited right now, and he certainly needed to replenish them.
With enough resources, and that protection he would be able to slowly add quite a few to his ranks, and looking at the conditions offered it was a true bargain.
Well, it was only for those short-sighted people, because the truly smart ones understood that one day they would be forced to fight against the Earth Faction and those Soul Land Kingdoms.
It was clear that Tianlong Yun had no intention of just continue living his life in peace. One look at the rules, and missions was enough for the smart people to understand that.
Furthermore, he had already declared war against the Earth Faction, and his disposition would certainly bring him against the locals.
On the other side though, it wasn't like they had much of a choice though. Their whole lives they had been nothing more than cannon fodder and thrown away.
Right now, this was a chance for them, a chance to give meaning to their lives. It was their chance of joining something bigger than them.
Normally they would worry about their lineage, and blood continuation, but Tianlong Yun was telling them that he was going to take responsibility for them, and raise them as members of the Clan.
If one thought it through, then those kids would be like prisoners of the Clan, so their parents never dared to betray the Clan, but it was still a great opportunity for them.
Most of them were able to reach 'only' up to here because they didn't have the necessary conditions or resources when they were younger but their children wouldn't have to suffer like them.
As for trying to cheat, or go against Tianlong Yun, it would be too much of an idiocy whoever tried something like that.
Even more so after what they had seen for those more than 10 days, as those Young Masters, and Young Misses were tortured in front of their eyes.
Everyone in Rock Fortress City was considering the situation, but one thing was for sure, the female cultivators inside the city certainly received a lot of proposals on those days.
As a new romantic cover had bloated up the whole place, with many people joining the Clan, and many others taking up missions.
The special mission wasn't valid only for those free cultivators though, as those people in his army were the same at that moment.
They were all promised great rewards as long as they married and gave birth, of course, the Clan would reward them much better than those outsiders.
As word of this spread through the whole place, there were a lot of happy people surrounding Tianlong Yun, but the people closest to him didn't seem that happy.
The reason was simple, Tianlong Yue, and Lu Bing wanted to be part of that too, they felt like they were ready to become mothers, but the problem was that they didn't want to disrupt order.
They knew about the importance and standing of their big sister Tianlong Xia in their man's heart, so they understood that there was no way for them to get pregnant before her.
Furthermore, they themselves wouldn't want to do something like that. Their connection as sisters was much more important at that moment.
Tianlong Yun understood this as well and noticed their saddened expression, but there was nothing he could do about it.
The truth was that he didn't care much about the order, or about who would inherit whatever he would leave behind, but Tianlong Xia had to be first, always! She deserved it!
So, at the moment he could do nothing more but try to comfort them with his tender care. These two were almost as precious to him, as Tianlong Xia was!
As all these things were happening inside the Soul Land space, the situation on Earth wasn't peaceful, and calm either.
The Shadow Clan was continuing its development and strengthening in the shadows. They had already shown their feet to the World, but their body had yet to appear in the light.
The more they grew, the more information they received, and the more aware of the current dangerous situation they became.
Lately, more and more organizations, powers, and experts were making their existence known, as the situation seemed to be getting more and more fired up.
Even though those at the top had reached an outward balance, all these new unknown variables, no matter how small and insignificant were slowly breaking that balance.
Humans were greedy by nature, as even though they acted like they were trying to stop the situation from becoming worse, there were a lot of them who saw this situation as an opportunity.
Especially for those that had been squeezed below all this time, they saw this as a great opportunity to improve their status, and why not vie for the top position.
Once the Chaos broke, and the war started on all sides, then the ones who were able to fish the best would be the ones to benefit the more from the situation.
At the moment there were three sides already, one was the Masons, the EITS, and the other one was all the smaller power that had a hand at the top.
The friction between them was growing bigger and larger by the day, as a new organization seemed to be close to joining them at the top, the Justice Sect.
Even though these guys were the worst and the most rotten among all of them, they still had the courage to proclaim that name.
As if that wasn't enough, it was said that the Justice Sect had been dealing with a lot of human experiments, trying to turn normal humans into hybrids, or supernatural to increase their strength.
Their actions had enraged quite a few people, but since no one was able to break their followers, and find their hiding spots, they weren't able to act against them.
Not only China, but every other country on Earth was going through the same problems, as governments tried their best to protect their own.
One thing was for sure though, while they didn't know when war was going to break out, there was no doubt that it would happen.
Everyone was preparing as best as they could to protect themselves, and their interests. No one wanted to die or see their ambitions destroyed in front of their eyes.
Amidst all these disturbances, the Shadow Clan seemed to grow slowly but steadily, as, from a national power, they were slowly becoming international on Earth.
From the entrance of Tianlong Yun inside that space, Tianlong Xia had managed to slowly spread the influence, and roots of the Shadow Clan all over the Eastern Continents, Africa, Europe, and Americas.
Her roots weren't stable at the moment, and it would take a while for her to achieve her goals, but she was certainly on the right track.
She had promised herself that before her husband returned from his trip, she would have prepared the army for him to conquer this whole Planet.
As she was thinking like that, she couldn't help but sigh, as she looked at the space, wondering what he was doing at that moment
