Chapter 157 Hidden Organizations Of Daxing

Han Cai pressed further, "What's in it for me? Why should I not join other organizations?"

Liang Zhen shook his head. "They will not understand your value. If you join our organization, you will have full control of Yin. The Crimson Serpents used to control Yin through the Starfall Sect, but since you destroyed them, they have lost their grip. The Starfall Sect Master was furious and sent a messenger to the Crimson Serpents, asking them to send a Void Immortal to destroy your sect. We apprehended the messenger, and as of now, Yin is not controlled by any organization. Should you accept our offer, Yin will be the first country under the control of Shadow Lotus."

Han Cai wasn't easily swayed. "It sounds like your organization will profit a lot from me. Why should I join you? I could start my own organization and rule Yin myself."

Liang Zhen countered, "How will you protect yourself and others when those organizations start coming in? Our organization's leader is a recently advanced Spirit Harmony Immortal* and might become a Law Immortal in the future. We have some Fusion and Void Immortals as well. We can protect you and Yin against such threats."

"But if you have such powerful leaders and members, why didn't you directly attack the Starfall Sect, destroy it, and take control of Yin?" Han Cai inquired.

The Prime Minister explained, "All the top organizations in Daxing have a treaty called the Daxing Treaty. It dictates that no organization can directly interfere with the ruling of a country. But that doesn't mean they don't do it. They rule countries through proxies by finding a local power, empowering them, and helping them take control. If any organization is found out directly interfering with a country, they will be attacked by the other organizations combined."

Han Cai questioned further, "When you control a country, what exactly do you want from it?"

"Resources," the Prime Minister replied. "Just like any organization, we need resources to strengthen our members. Until now, most of Yin's resources went to the Crimson Serpents. Now that their supply has stopped, they will react soon."

Han Cai appeared thoughtful for a moment before asking, "Tell me more about these hidden organizations you speak of."

The Prime Minister moved his hands, and a scroll appeared in his hand.

He handed the scroll to Han Cai, sealed with a lotus wax insignia. "Within this scroll, you will find details of several powerful organizations that operate in secret, much like our own. They pull strings from the shadows, manipulating events to their advantage and influencing the course of history."

As Han Cai unrolled the scroll, his eyes went through the names and details of these clandestine groups.

The first organization mentioned was The Crimson Serpents. The most powerful hidden organization in Daxing, the Crimson Serpents, held control over Yin, Xuan, and another country. They maintained their influence through proxies, such as the Starfall Sect and various royal families. Law Immortal Zhu Tianming, their leader, had an iron grip on power and ensured that the organization's activities were carried out with precision and efficiency.

The Crimson Serpents were known for their ruthless tactics and willingness to do whatever it took to maintain their authority. They had a vast network of spies and informants, allowing them to keep tabs on every aspect of the countries under their control, making it almost impossible for any opposing force to gain traction.

The second organization mentioned was The Silent Ravens. A secretive organization, the Silent Ravens controlled the Shang and Wu countries. They were renowned for their stealth and ability to manipulate political situations from behind the scenes.

Spirit Harmony Realm cultivator Hua Yufeng, their leader, placed a high value on secrecy and subterfuge, using cunning and guile to maintain the organization's grip on power. The Silent Ravens specialized in espionage and covert operations, with their members skilled in remaining unseen and undetected. They infiltrated various factions and levels of society, ensuring that they were always one step ahead of any potential threats.

The third organization mentioned was Iron Talon. Focused on physical might and military power, the Iron Talon controlled the Qi and Feng countries. Spirit Harmony Realm cultivator Guan Yuwen, their leader, was a master strategist and relentless warrior.

Under his command, the organization was known for its formidable fighting force, comprised of skilled and battle-hardened warriors. The Iron Talons took pride in their military prowess, investing heavily in the training and equipment of their soldiers. This dedication to martial strength allowed them to swiftly and decisively crush any opposition, securing their dominance over the lands under their control.

The fourth organization mentioned was Aurelian Dragons. As the second most powerful organization, the Aurelian Dragons held sway over the Xuanjing and Zhen countries. Their recently advanced Law Immortal leader, Silver Emperor Xue Zhenwu, was infamous for his ruthless ambition and insatiable desire for conquest.

The organization's members were known to be fiercely loyal and disciplined, with a hierarchical structure that rewarded those who proved their worth through strength and cunning. The Aurelian Dragons had their sights set on expanding their territory, constantly seeking opportunities to annex neighboring lands or destabilize rival organizations.

The last on the list was Shadow Lotus. The weakest of the secret organizations, the Shadow Lotus, had no control over any countries. Instead, they focused on survival and consolidating their strength. Recently advance Spirit Harmony Realm leader Yun Qinghong made it a priority to foster growth and expansion within the organization.

While they lacked the resources and influence of their more powerful counterparts, the Shadow Lotus had a keen understanding of their limitations and used this knowledge to their advantage. They operated primarily in the shadows, relying on subterfuge and guile to further their objectives. The members of the Shadow Lotus were patient and calculating, biding their time as they slowly but surely increased their strength and influence, always waiting for the opportune moment to strike.

After reading through the information, Han Cai weighed the information carefully. He was not very keen on joining Shadow Lotus, the weakest of bunch, but he knew if he did not join any, then the whole Yin would suffer. He had to appreciate the fact this prime minister was sincere and wise.

If we reach 1000 golden tickets, I will release five supplementary chapters.
