Wu dong Qian Kun: I, Lin Langtian, Refuse to be a Supporting Character

Chapter 171: Founding the Flame Alliance

Numerous gazes filled with awe and fear fixed upon the young figure standing high in the air. Witnessing Lin Langtian's merciless might, everyone now knew that the Great Flame Dynasty's captain was no soft-hearted fool—if provoked, he wouldn't hesitate to eliminate anyone, no matter their background.

Mo Ling and his two comrades stared at the gouged-out ground below, swallowing hard. Moments ago, the powerful warriors of the Sacred Light Dynasty had been reduced to mere blood mist before their very eyes.

"So this is the power of a half-step Nirvana Realm warrior..." Lin Dong clenched his fists, his dark eyes brimming with ambition. While he was currently only in the early Creation Realm, Lin Dong knew that to be a true master in the Ancient Battleground, one had to reach the Nirvana Realm.

As Lin Dong watched Lin Langtian, he couldn't help but feel inspired.

Hovering in the air, Lin Langtian reached out his hand, and a surge of force drew eight storage bags toward him. These warriors had come from the Sacred Light Dynasty, likely carrying valuable resources, which Lin Langtian claimed as the spoils of victory.

After securing the storage bags, Lin Langtian glanced toward the city walls. The moment his gaze swept over the crowd, a ripple spread as people instinctively backed away, no one daring to meet his eyes.

Standing on the wall, Lin Langtian surveyed the crowd, their expressions tinged with fear. His voice, calm and steady, reached every ear.

"This gathering point was meant to be a free space, yet the Sacred Light Dynasty sought to claim it for themselves. Now that they're gone, this place will be free again. Stay if you wish, leave if you wish. And from now on, no more 'entry fees.'"

The so-called "entry fee" was something the Sacred Light Dynasty had imposed on the crowd, treating these warriors like slaves to extract Nirvana Pills for their own use. Lin Langtian had nothing but contempt for such exploitation; there was little worth in stripping ordinary dynasties of resources when there were far greater prizes to claim.

Hearing this, many warriors from various dynasties were momentarily stunned, then expressions of joy flashed across their faces. Most of them came from weaker dynasties, some even more so than the Great Flame Dynasty, and had little power to move about safely.

For them, Lin Langtian's declaration to lift the entry fee was like a blessing.

Soft murmurs of excitement spread among the crowd. Those initially afraid of Lin Langtian now looked at him differently, seeing not only a man of strength but one deserving of respect.

"Might alone isn't enough to truly win hearts," one murmured.

"My lord, our Dajia Dynasty is willing to serve under the Great Flame Dynasty. Will you accept us?" At that moment, three men stepped forward from the crowd and bowed respectfully to Lin Langtian.

These warriors came from the Dajia Dynasty, another low-ranking dynasty that had also suffered under the Sacred Light Dynasty's rule. Now that they had witnessed Lin Langtian's might and experienced his generosity, they felt compelled to pledge their allegiance.

"My lord, our Wu Dynasty also wishes to follow you."

"We, from the Black Wolf Dynasty, pledge ourselves as well."

With the Dajia Dynasty taking the lead, others from various dynasties exchanged glances, then made their decision. One by one, they bowed in allegiance to Lin Langtian.

Having endured the Sacred Light Dynasty's oppression, they understood the brutal reality of the Ancient Battleground—there was no law here, no order, only strength.

Though each of them had been a top talent in their respective dynasties, here, they would fall as easily as stray dogs without power to protect them. They knew that with a half-step Nirvana warrior like Lin Langtian, they would have a greater chance of survival. Pride was a small price for protection.

Lin Langtian was momentarily surprised at this turn of events. His initial intent had not been to gather followers, yet now, nearly everyone on the city walls was eager to join him. There were easily two or three hundred Creation Realm warriors here.

This was a considerable force—likely comparable to the entire Creation Realm ranks of the Great Flame Dynasty.

Lin Langtian's gaze narrowed as he pondered the potential and the risks. Accepting such a large following had its benefits and downsides.

The downside was that managing so many followers would restrict his movements, and most of them weren't particularly strong.

The benefit, however, was that with a substantial force, he could rival advanced dynasties, access more resources, and gather information faster. And with Lin Dong and himself, along with his golden crow as top-level assets, this group had strong potential.

Seeing his hesitation, Lin Dong smiled. "Brother Langtian, with such enthusiasm, I say you should accept it."

Having witnessed Lin Langtian's strength, Lin Dong was genuinely impressed and encouraged him to take command. Perhaps under Lin Langtian's leadership, this group of low-ranking dynasties could truly shake up the Ancient Battleground.

Hearing Lin Dong's words, Lin Langtian finally made his decision. Amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd, he raised his voice and declared:

"Alright! Since you all trust me, I, Lin Langtian, will lead you here. Together, we'll establish our place in the Ancient Battleground. For your sakes as well as my own, let's combine our strength—surviving alone here would indeed be difficult!"

Hearing this, a wave of cheers and excitement swept through the crowd. They felt a renewed sense of purpose and security; being part of an organization was far more reassuring than standing alone.

"Since you've pledged to the Great Flame Dynasty, let's call our alliance the 'Flame Alliance,'" Lin Langtian continued. "In this space, our combined power will stand for something greater. As one united force, the Flame Alliance."

The name "Flame Alliance" spread through the crowd as the murmurs of approval grew. Mo Ling nodded in agreement, then turned to the newly formed members of their alliance and shouted loudly:

"From this day on, our united force of many dynasties will be known as the Flame Alliance! Lin Langtian, our leader, will be our chief. We will follow his command, and anyone who betrays our cause shall be cast out!"

"Yes! Flame Alliance!" the crowd echoed.

"Anyone who betrays the cause shall be cast out!"

Excited voices grew louder as each warrior, once alone in this harsh world, now felt a sense of belonging. Together, as the Flame Alliance, they would face the Ancient Battleground as one.
