The crowd was agitated, their voices filled with anger.

They traveled across most of Yuzhou to come here to fight the sea tribes.

Now that the sea creature army is about to arrive, how can they possibly retreat to the rear?

He Jiuhong was completely bewildered by their reaction.

She has been in the Four Directions Alliance for almost two months.

I have never seen anyone like this before.

Even with his severely injured body, he was determined to fight the sea creatures.

Most cultivators coveted the merit points.

But he still cares a lot about his own life.

After being seriously injured, they will choose to retreat to the rear rather than try to hold on.

That's like the group of guys there.

I kindly offered to let them go to the rear to recuperate, but they refused.

He Jiuhong was shocked by the reactions of everyone.

For a moment, he stood there stunned, not knowing what to do.

Lu Yang, who was standing to the side, spoke up: "Young friend He, don't try to persuade us. If we had backed down, we wouldn't have come here in the first place."

Lu Yang said in a calm voice.

Although he was very dissatisfied with the decision of the Four-Party Alliance.

However, he did not intend to lead his men to retreat to the rear.

After going through so much.

The monks who were able to follow him here.

They had long since disregarded life and death.

If you're afraid of losing your life.

They could easily run to Lanzhou or Cangzhou.

As a Nascent Soul cultivator, he had many powerful figures vying to join his cause.

Why hold out so desperately in Yuzhou, and why rebel against the Heavenly Alliance and go through all the trouble to come to Qingzhou?

Lu Yang's words brought He Jiuhong back to reality.

"Oh well."

She concealed the strange look in her eyes and nodded.

Since this group of people doesn't accept her kindness.

So naturally, she wouldn't force them to move to the rear.

This is a thankless task.

Her expression turned serious as she addressed the crowd: "Since everyone has chosen to stay, let's proceed according to the rules of our Four Directions Alliance."

"No problem, we'll follow your rules, no matter what!"

Lu Yang nodded slowly.

I agree with what He Jiuhong said.

They came to the Four Alliance to fight against the sea people.

I didn't come here to enjoy myself.

Naturally, I won't ask for too much.

Lu Yang accepted the offer on behalf of everyone.

He Jiuhong breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Since these people have accepted the rules of the Four-Party Alliance.

Then we just need to treat them like regular members.

Reduce some unnecessary trouble.

Cutting off her thoughts, He Jiuhong slowly said, "Alright, once we get to the city, I will show everyone the basic situation of the Four Directions Alliance."

The current four-party alliance emphasizes cooperation in combat.

The situation is definitely different from that of the Heavenly Alliance.

These tasks require some time to get used to.

Others neither agreed nor disagreed with this point.

When you arrive in a new place, you must follow the new rules; there is no doubt about that.

While everyone was talking, the Sky-Piercing Boat had already arrived above the City of Four Directions.

After the Tongtian Boat slowly landed on the open space in the center of Hongjiang City.

He Jiuhong led Lu Yang and the others to find a place to settle down.

This is easy to solve. Hongjiang City is a ghost town, and the one thing it has in abundance is houses.

After everyone found a place to stay.

He then led his men on a tour of the city, allowing them to understand the current basic situation of Sifang City.

Finally, she led the group to a magnificent hall within the city.

This main hall is the only building in Hongjiang City that can rival the City Lord's Mansion.

It is also the liveliest place in Hongjiang City.

"This is the mission lobby."

He Jiuhong pointed to the main hall and introduced it to the people behind her.

"You can accept missions here, or exchange information about the sea creature camps outside the city to earn merit points..."

As He Jiuhong spoke, she led everyone into the main hall.

The interior of the main hall is magnificent and resplendent.

On the surrounding walls, images were projected by the imaging stones, showing lines of information.

"Official Mission from the Four Alliances: Sweep away a small sea creature camp 13,000 li north of Hongjiang City, 50 Merit Points"

"Official mission of the Four Alliance: "Go deep into the Southern Region to investigate information, 20 merit points per day."

"Private mission request: Acquire information on large sea creature camps. Spirit stones, cultivation techniques, and elixirs can be exchanged. The more the better..."

...

The sheer volume of information is overwhelming.

The sight left people like Lu Yang dazzled.

"What does this mean? Sweeping through the sea creature camp and still giving away merit points?"

"What are merit points for? Shouldn't they be given as spirit stones?"

"Why would anyone exchange information about a large sea creature camp?"

The cultivators behind Lu Yang looked at these tasks with puzzlement.

Not only them, but even the well-informed Lu Yang had a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Task-based systems are nothing new.

Many sects use it.

In its early days, the Heavenly Alliance had also planned to use missions to motivate cultivators.

Boost morale.

But it was never implemented. It was immediately dismantled.

Let alone offering rewards to motivate everyone.

They couldn't even gather enough spirit stones and healing pills.

They have been able to persevere until now entirely because of their passion and enthusiasm.

Moreover, the rewards they use are spirit stones, supplies, and the like.

However, the Four Alliance rewards mostly with merit points.

This was something he couldn't understand at all.

Why use merit points? Wouldn't it be better to just give spirit stones?

He Jiuhong, who was standing to the side, smiled gently when she heard the doubts of the crowd.
