My Whole Class Isekai'd to a Xianxia? Good Thing I Can Do Mind-reading-Chapter 288: I’ve Come For My Reward!

After spending the night together, Feng Fan returned with Huang Xue to the White Crow Sect. When they reached her quarters, just before parting ways, Huang Xue mustered the courage to give him a light kiss on his lips.

"B-Bye," she stammered, her cheeks flushed, before quickly retreating inside.

Feng Fan chuckled at her reaction. Seeing her flustered after taking the initiative was simply too cute.

'That Song Shu is truly a great friend; teaching Huang Xue all the right things!' he mused.

Instead of returning to his secluded cultivation, Feng Fan decided it was finally time to claim his reward. His next destination was clear: Dao Seeking School.

Of course, the Dao Seeking School had never explicitly promised him a reward, but Feng Fan would make sure they gave him one.

'No matter how many resources I have, cultivation resources are never enough,' he thought before leaving the White Crow Sect once again.

A decision driven by greed—one he would soon come to regret.

Within the Dao Seeking School, the highest-ranking members of both the Dao Seeking School and the Black Turtle Sect—the most powerful figures in the entire Red Pole—sat together around a round table.

"Elder Long, why have you gathered us here? I have more than enough on my plate with the restoration of the Azure Dragon Continent," said Cheng Yan, an elder of the Black Turtle Sect. "Doesn't your sect also need to secure its lands and suppress the northern rebellions?"

Cheng Yan, along with Dong Yun, was responsible for stabilizing the southern region of the Azure Dragon Continent. The Dao Seeking School and the Black Turtle Sect had come to an agreement—while the former claimed the northern region, the latter took control of the south.

As for the lands once ruled by the Bloodsucker Demon Sect, they had been split evenly between the two factions. The western region was granted to the Dao Seeking School, while the eastern region became the Black Turtle Sect's territory.

Reclaiming the Black Turtle Continent had been relatively straightforward, as it had only recently fallen under the Shen Empire's rule. However, the same could not be said for the Azure Dragon Continent, which had been under imperial control for centuries.

After most of the Shen Empire's citizens were either driven out or killed in the Azure Dragon Continent, many ancient powers that had remained hidden for centuries resurfaced, eager to reclaim their former territories.

The Dao Seeking School and the Black Turtle Sect allowed them to remain in their ancestral lands—but only as vassals. This decree sparked widespread discontent among the continent's original inhabitants.

But discontent alone meant nothing. Did they have the strength to resist? In this world, power was the only true currency. Those unwilling to submit had only one fate—exile.

"Hmph." Elder Long sneered. "Those fools couldn't even defeat the Shen Empire, yet now they dare make demands of us? They're nothing more than clowns. There are far more pressing matters to discuss."

A screen appeared behind Long Liu, displaying the events from a few days ago within the Dao Seeking School's grounds—the moment when the Intergalactic Council's emissary destroyed their protective array.

"What is that flying vessel? How could it be so powerful?!" Dong Tian, the Sect Master of the Black Turtle Sect, exclaimed in shock.

It wasn't just a matter of their ships being superior; it showed their technological advancements were on an entirely different level. If they could send a single vessel to obliterate a tier 8 array, then what meaning did their defenses hold against such invaders?

Dong Tian's expression darkened. "Long Liu, what were the contents of the token given to you?"

Without hesitation, Long Liu retrieved the token from her space ring and tossed it to him. "See for yourself later. I've already reviewed it and shown it to the Sect Master. The message is clear—we must claim one of the hundred seats in the Intergalactic Council. If we fail, the thousands of planets that make up this alliance will join forces to colonize our world. Against such overwhelming power, we wouldn't stand a chance."

A heavy silence fell over the room. They had just repelled one invasion, and now another was already at their doorstep.

But Long Liu wasn't finished.

"The Shen Empire is also part of the Intergalactic Council," she continued, her voice cold. "And it seems they're not even among the top ten strongest."

A wave of shock rippled through the room at this revelation.

"Elder Long, what exactly does this colonization entail?" an elder from the Black Turtle Sect asked, his voice tense.

"We would become vassals to one of their councils, forced to send 95% of all our resources to them. If we refuse, they will wipe us out and take full control of our planet."

The weight of those words sank in. Surrendering 95% of their cultivation resources would cripple them; it was nothing short of a slow death.

Dong Yun's fury erupted. His hand slammed down on the table, shattering it in half and sending tremors through the room.

"I would rather die fighting than accept such humiliation!" he roared.

His sentiment was shared by everyone present, their faces dark with anger. But Long Liu remained unfazed, her gaze icy as she looked at him.

"Did you really have to take it out on our table?" she remarked coolly. "We have ten years to prepare for this battle. The rules are detailed in the token; take a look. We'll reconvene in a year to plan our next move. In the meantime, I'll gather more information about this Intergalactic Council."

With that, the meeting came to an uneasy end. One by one, the attendees departed, including Long Liu, who already had a plan in mind—sending a force into outer space.

The token contained coordinates of several planets within the Intergalactic Council. If they were to stand a chance, they needed information. She intended to dispatch an investigative team to learn more about their potential adversaries. After all, they would have to choose one among the hundred civilizations to challenge.

As she pondered over whom to send, a voice suddenly pulled her from her thoughts.

"Elder Long, I've come for my reward!"

She turned toward the source of the voice, and a sly grin slowly spread across her face.
