Chapter 434 Young Master Zhao Wants to Block the Door

News of Zhao Mingxiu's trial at Youfeng Rift Valley quickly spread among the higher-ups. Zhao Minghang treated Zhao Mingxiu and Zheng Qian to delicious food from Xingluo Chess Formation, bought some local specialties, and then arranged for Zhao Mingxiu to rest in the best room.

Zhao Mingxiu was wide awake; he was very excited. He pulled Zheng Qian and Zhao Minghang for a walk, and also helped Zhao Huang inspect the defensive deployment of the Starry Chess Formation.

Looking at the stars in the sky, Zhao Minghang felt extremely conflicted. Zhao Mingxiu was a member of the Zhao family just like him, but their statuses were worlds apart. He kept smiling, but Zhao Mingxiu didn't even look at him properly, treating him like a complete stranger.

Father, where are you, and who are you?

As a high-ranking official in the Starry Chessboard, Zhao Minghang took the two to Ce Ling Pavilion for tea. Du Lingwen rushed to the mall overnight to buy the best tea leaves and even arranged for her subordinates to fetch spring water, all to brew a few pots of fine tea to entertain Zhao Mingxiu.

"You've formed an alliance?" Zhao Mingxiu was very excited when he heard that Zheng Qian had formed the Iron-Blooded Conquest Alliance. His eyes gleamed with a desire for unknown challenges and opportunities: "I want to join your alliance too, to complete missions together, earn merits, and get medals."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Qian smiled. Zhao Mingxiu's strength and background were formidable, and if he could join, it would undoubtedly be a great help to the alliance.

The Heavenly Vein Sect is the pillar of the Southern Region, the most powerful force there. The Divine Court is the pillar of the human race, the most powerful force. The Divine Court has five legions, the backbone of the human race, with the Radiant Legion being one of them.

Zhao Minghang was the youngest son of the Radiant Legion Commander, holding a special position as one of the most elite core members of the human race. Strategically speaking, Zhao Minghang's status was more prestigious than anyone Zheng Qian knew.

"Of course you're welcome. Brother Mingxiu's addition will surely give our alliance wings," Zheng Qian replied sincerely, while secretly planning how to better utilize Zhao Mingxiu's resources and connections to pave the way for the alliance's development.

"Given my abilities, what position do you think I should take on?" Zhao Mingxiu asked for an official position right off the bat, feeling that there was nothing wrong with it, but rather that it was only natural.

The son of the Radiant Legion Commander, and his favorite son at that, would not be too much to give him any official position.

Zheng Qian smiled slightly, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes. He knew that Zhao Mingxiu's position needed to be handled properly. This was not only an affirmation of Zhao Mingxiu personally, but also an excellent opportunity to deepen cooperation with the Radiant Legion: "Brother Mingxiu, your abilities are more than enough to qualify you for any official position in the alliance. Any position is just an empty title, and it may not match your worth. However, in my opinion, a suitable position would allow you to utilize your strengths, directly manage the alliance, and achieve great things."

He paused briefly, seemingly considering his words, but in reality, he was observing Zhao Mingxiu's reaction: "I propose that you serve as the Alliance's Minister of Strategy. Although this position does not directly command troops, it allows you to participate in all major decisions and plan the Alliance's direction from a strategic perspective. Moreover, you can leverage your extensive network to build bridges between the Alliance and other forces, promoting resource exchange and technological cooperation. This arrangement will not only highlight your distinguished status but also ensure that your talents can be fully utilized."

Zheng Qian glanced at Zhao Minghang and deliberately lowered his voice: "The Minister of Strategy can not only coordinate missions with the Strategy Pavilion and decide the direction of alliance missions, but also directly command operations. In this way, the alliance will flourish under your leadership, everyone will make achievements, and you will receive immortal merit and become famous throughout the world."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Mingxiu's lips curled into a smile, clearly quite satisfied with the proposal. He knew that the Minister of Strategy not only held direct power but also held a crucial position within the alliance, almost equivalent to the alliance's brain, capable of influencing or even determining the alliance's future direction: "Haha, Zheng Qian truly knows how to recognize and utilize talent. This position suits me perfectly. I, Zhao Mingxiu, will certainly live up to your expectations and do my utmost for the development of the alliance."

Seeing Zhao Mingxiu readily accept, Zheng Qian felt a great weight lifted from his heart. He knew he had made the right move.

Zhao Minghang cast a grateful glance at Zheng Qian. In the future, when Zhao Mingxiu was assigned to missions with him, wouldn't he have plenty of opportunities to show his abilities and build a better relationship? Zhao Mingxiu's identity was simply too noble and special. He was the son of his superior. If he wanted to do well in the Radiant Legion and advance into the Divine Court, Zhao Mingxiu was the first step in building a good relationship with him.

Zheng Qian stretched out his hands and firmly grasped Zhao Mingxiu's right hand: "Brother Mingxiu, the alliance is currently at a critical stage of development. We are surrounded by demons on the outside and need to integrate and optimize internally. Your joining us will undoubtedly inject a powerful impetus into our efforts. I hope that we can work together to not only consolidate our existing territories but also expand our borders, so that the glory of the human race can shine in all directions."

Zhao Mingxiu nodded in agreement, his eyes gleaming with determination and pride: "Zheng Qian, you are right. Although I, Zhao Mingxiu, have only recently joined the Iron-Blooded Conquest Alliance, I know that every citizen has a responsibility. From now on, the affairs of the alliance are my affairs, Zhao Mingxiu's affairs. Let us write a new chapter for humanity together!"

The two clasped hands tighter, as if to convey their determination and belief to each other, proclaiming their unbreakable alliance.

Just then, Li Ming and his team returned from their mission. Hu Dinghuan was the first to rush into the Ce Ling Pavilion. He was stunned to see Zheng Qian shaking hands with a handsome young man.

You have this quirk?

The geniuses of the Southern Region were all moved. From Zhao Mingxiu's pampered lifestyle and his air of authority, they could tell that he was a great man.

Li Miaoran was radiant. She knew better than anyone else present that Zhao Mingxiu was a prodigy in the Radiant Legion, and an extraordinary figure. She could sense the rich light-attribute soul technique emanating from Zhao Mingxiu's soul palace. Only direct descendants of the Zhao family with exceptional talent could cultivate the Zhao family's light-attribute soul technique.

Seeing that all the geniuses from the Southern Region had gathered at this moment was truly a sign from heaven, and Zheng Qian felt an unprecedented surge of pride and ambition. He turned to face the crowd and introduced, "Everyone, this is Zhao Mingxiu, the son of Commander Zhao of the Radiant Legion, and the most monstrous genius in the Radiant Legion."

"Damn it, damn it, damn it!" Hu Dinghuan cursed inwardly, almost dropping the skull in his hand. Dongfang Honglei's eyes widened in disbelief. You Haoshen was no longer arrogant; he knew all too well how prestigious the son of the Radiant Legion Commander was. Li Ming paused slightly, then smiled at Zhao Mingxiu as a greeting. Li Zun looked at Zhao Mingxiu, the scene of Zheng Qian robbing him flashing through his mind, and his admiration for Zheng Qian only intensified.

The young master was robbed, yet they still managed to become friends. This master is truly remarkable, possessing extraordinary abilities.

This was the first time Li Miaoran had truly looked at Zheng Qian with such seriousness. His network of connections was incredibly powerful. Ye Lanshuang had told her many times that Zheng Qian was extremely powerful, invincible among those of the same cultivation level. She had also heard many legends about Zheng Qian when she came to Youfeng Rift Valley, but she never expected that Zheng Qian would be even more monstrous than she had imagined.

Zheng Qian, unaware of the thoughts of the Southern Region's prodigies, loudly proclaimed: "Gentlemen, today we witness a new beginning for a great alliance. From this day forward, Brother Mingxiu will be the Strategic Minister of the Iron-Blooded Alliance. His joining is our shared honor and a solid step towards our higher goals. From now on, we must be even more united, not only brave and fearless on the front lines against the demon race, but also striving for excellence in internal management, making our alliance the strongest shield and the sharpest sword for humanity!"

Thunderous applause and cheers erupted from the crowd. Everyone was infected by the passion, their eyes sparkling with boundless anticipation for the future. Zhao Mingxiu stood beside Zheng Qian, smiling as he looked around. He felt an unprecedented sense of belonging, a sense that further convinced him that his choice was right.

Amidst enthusiastic applause, Zhao Mingxiu gently patted Zheng Qian on the shoulder to express his gratitude and approval. His gaze swept across the faces of every alliance member, some familiar, others new acquaintances, but without exception, their eyes burned with a yearning for the future and an indomitable fighting spirit.

"Brothers and sisters," Zhao Mingxiu's voice was steady and powerful, piercing through the noise and drawing everyone's attention back to him, "Although I, Zhao Mingxiu, come from a prestigious family, I know that honor and responsibility go hand in hand. Joining the Iron-Blooded Conquest Alliance is not only a challenge to my personal abilities, but also a commitment to the beliefs in my heart. Here, I have seen the courage and perseverance of each and every one of you, which has greatly inspired me."

He paused, seemingly searching for the most suitable words to express his excitement: "The enemy we face is powerful and cunning, but as Zheng Qian said, as long as we are united, there is no difficulty we cannot overcome. I will dedicate all my knowledge and utilize all the resources of the Radiant Legion to contribute to the alliance's strategic planning, ensuring that every step we take is precise, efficient, and hits the nail on the head."

Li Miaoran stood in a corner of the crowd, a faint smile on her lips. She was genuinely delighted by Zhao Mingxiu's arrival. As one of the few female strategists in the alliance, and holding the position of vice leader, she knew what a strong strategic minister meant to the alliance. Zhao Mingxiu's arrival undoubtedly injected fresh blood into the Iron-Blooded Conquest Alliance and increased their chances of victory against the demon race.

Although Hu Dinghuan was initially taken aback, he quickly grasped the situation. He clapped vigorously, his expression shifting from confusion to excitement. He knew that in this world where strength reigned supreme, power and background were equally important, and Zhao Mingxiu's addition undoubtedly elevated the alliance's strength to a new level.

As Zhao Mingxiu finished speaking, the atmosphere in the crowd reached a climax. Some young warriors were so excited they almost jumped up. They seemed to already see the Iron-Blooded Conquest Alliance, with overwhelming force, protecting every inch of human land on the battlefield against the demon race in the not-too-distant future.

"For the Alliance, for humanity!" Zhixing Chen Tianrui was the first to shout this slogan, and then the entire Strategy Pavilion echoed with a unified shout, the sound converging into an unstoppable force that soared into the sky.

At this moment, Zhao Mingxiu deeply felt the mission and glory he carried. He knew that the road ahead might be full of thorns, but as long as there was light in his heart, there would be a path under his feet. The Iron-Blooded Conquest Alliance, this collective composed of countless brave individuals, was marching towards an even more glorious future with an unprecedented spirit.

And all of this begins today, with the vow they made together.

Zhao Mingxiu shouted firmly and boldly: "From now on, the affairs of the alliance are my affairs, Zhao Mingxiu's affairs. Let us write a new chapter for the human race together!"

Zhao Minghang looked at Zhao Mingxiu with envy, secretly wishing that his father were Zhao Huang. That way, he too could be surrounded by these Southern Region geniuses and express his lofty ambitions.

"Brothers, tomorrow we'll start the Gate Blockade Battle, together claim immortal merits, and become famous throughout the world!" Zhao Mingxiu shouted, his blood boiling. If Zheng Qian could accomplish the Gate Blockade Battle, so could he.

At that moment, Zhao Mingxiu forgot about Zheng Qian robbing him and felt fortunate to have met Zheng Qian. In his mind, the gate-blocking battle was just an easy achievement.

Li Ming was stunned. He really didn't expect Zhao Mingxiu to directly start the door-blocking battle. Hu Dinghuan's mouth twitched, and he couldn't even process what was happening. You Haoshen's hair moved without wind, and he thought Zhao Mingxiu was so naive. Dongfang Honglei wanted to laugh out loud, but his face turned red. Li Miaoran looked at Zhao Mingxiu in astonishment. How dare you say that? Do you think you are Zheng Qian?

Apart from Zheng Qian and Zhao Mingxiu, everyone knows how difficult the gate-blocking battle is; otherwise, only four people have accomplished this feat in the past eight hundred years.

Just as everyone was dumbfounded, Zheng Qian clapped loudly: "Good, tomorrow all the geniuses of the Southern Region will be mobilized to watch Minister Zhao's gate-blocking battle and learn from Minister Zhao's heroic tactics."

"Okay." Zhixing Chen Tianrui was the first to react and clapped loudly.

"Haha, okay, let's go study together!" You Haoshen shouted loudly, and then everyone shouted loudly, making the scene very lively.

Zheng Qian winked at Chen Tianrui, thankfully he came to the rescue, otherwise the trick of trying to make Zhao Mingxiu happy would have been too obvious.

Zhao Mingxiu was equally happy. He wasn't stupid, but he liked this feeling; after all, he was used to it. Most importantly, he liked Zheng Qian making him happy because Zheng Qian was stronger than him and was also a good brother and comrade-in-arms in his heart.

“Okay, I’ll register right now and head out for the gate-blocking battle tomorrow.” Zhao Minghang was also very happy. He went behind the registration desk, quickly wrote an eighth-level mission on the mission book, and then dried the writing with his spiritual energy.

Then, Zhao Minghang strode out and said loudly, "The gate-blocking battle is a level eight mission, which is the second highest level mission of the Radiant Legion. If Minister Zhao wants to accept this mission, you will need to sign and register."

The Ghostly Rift Valley is divided into nine levels, with level one being the lowest and level nine being the highest, followed by level eight.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Mingxiu's expression turned serious. He picked up the pen Zhao Minghang handed him and signed his name on the mission sheet. At that moment, it felt as if an invisible force flowed around him—an anticipation of the upcoming challenge and an affirmation of his own abilities. After signing, he gently placed the pen back in its place, looked firmly at everyone, and said, "Tomorrow, let us witness together the brilliance of this gate-blocking battle."

Hu Dinghuan had recovered from his shock. A smile appeared on his lips as he respectfully said, "Minister Zhao, whatever decision you make, your brothers will support you. However, this door battle is no small matter, and we must proceed with caution."

Yu Haoshen chimed in, "That's right, Minister Zhao. While we are willing to follow, strategy and preparation are equally important. Why don't we get together tonight and discuss the specific action plan?"

Zhao Mingxiu nodded in agreement. He knew that passion alone could not win a victory; strategy and teamwork were equally important.

The geniuses of the Southern Region gathered in the spacious council hall, brightly lit, with a lively yet tense atmosphere. Zhao Mingxiu stood in the center, elaborating on his initial plan: utilizing the terrain to lay layers of traps and mechanisms; at the same time, leveraging their respective strengths to divide tasks and cooperate, ensuring that every detail of the battle was handled properly.

Zhao Mingxiu's strategy is a conventional battlefield tactic, a large-scale battlefield, a battlefield where battles are fought between different realms.

Zheng Qian listened to Zhao Mingxiu's plan with admiration. He cleared his throat and added, "In addition, we need to consider the opponent's possible countermeasures and develop several backup plans, just in case."

Everyone present knew that Zhao Mingxiu's plan was unfeasible because their Dragon Shaping Realm battlefield only had Dragon Shaping Realm experts, while Zhao Mingxiu's strategy included higher-level experts, which violated the battle rules of the Ghost Wind Rift Valley. However, no one cared; as long as Young Master Zhao was happy, everyone would follow his lead and offer their opinions.

Zhao Minghang then arranged for someone to write down the list of participants for tomorrow's Dragon Realm battlefield. Young Master Zhao would travel, and the rest of the participants would disperse, as this was the second gate-blocking battle of the month.
