Chapter 1373 - Blood Fiend Valley
After leaving the tavern, Liu Wuxie threaded his way through the busy streets until he finally found the Mercenary Alliance. People crammed into the hall, and countless squads loudly recruited anyone who stepped through the doors.
However, because Liu Wuxie's cultivation appeared low, no one approached him, and not a single person even spared him a second look. Those at the Void Realm, on the other hand, instantly became prime targets as the surrounding squads swarmed to recruit them.
"We're the Wild Leopard Squad, and we're still short of one person! Our leader has reached the high levels of the Void Realm! Anyone want in?"
"Our Great Mountain Squad still needs two more people! Anyone interested?"
The moment Liu Wuxie walked into the building, a wall of noise crashed over him as voices overlapped in an unending clamor. New squads formed in the Mercenary Alliance every day; some boasted over a hundred members, while the smaller ones had just a little more than a dozen.
Notices covered the right wall, each one introducing a different squad to make recruitment easier and help them attract compatible members. Anyone interested in joining only had to seek out the respective squad and gain the leader's approval.
Thanks to this system, most cultivators who joined the Mercenary Alliance could find a squad that suited them. Yet even after all this time, not a single person had extended an invitation to Liu Wuxie, and the crowd continued to treat him as though he were invisible.
"Brat, what are you doing here? Get lost!" A Void Realm cultivator shoved Liu Wuxie aside, barking at him to leave, as the Blood Fiend Battlefield wasn't a place for someone with his level of cultivation.
The push made anger flicker in Liu Wuxie's eyes, but he ultimately forced himself to swallow it down.
It quickly became clear that waiting around for an invitation was pointless, leaving him with only two paths. He could either start a brand new squad from nothing or take the initiative to seek out a squad willing to accept him.
He spent half a day scanning the hall but found no squad that suited him. Every one of them had set their minimum requirement at the pinnacle of the Primal Origin Realm.
"Are you looking for a squad to join?" a voice called out from behind Liu Wuxie.
