Chapter 314 - 315: A Light in the Dark
By the time Mu Can and the others arrived at Tongshen Mountain, the base of the mountain was already swarming with a sea of people, with at least a thousand Cultivators gathered, waiting to enter.
"Woof! So many people." Wang Cai sat in the sedan chair, looking at the crowd before him, and slightly furrowed his brow.
During the journey here, Wang Cai wasn’t idle either. He crafted a Communication Jade Pendant for each of the remaining eighty or so followers. Mu Can also helped divide these eighty-plus people into teams, matching them into eight groups of around ten people each based on their strengths and specialties, and appointed a Captain for each team, thus a rudimentary power structure emerged.
Originally when Purple Cloud reminded Mu Can to establish his own forces, Mu Can had carefully studied the issue of small organizations. In a group of no more than a hundred people, a ten-person squad was the most cost-effective configuration.
Wang Cai knew nothing about these matters. In the Supreme Interface, the Stealer of the Heavenly Dao was always fighting alone, without establishing his own force.
However, for the Stealer of the Heavenly Dao, this might not necessarily be a bad thing. After all, he acted entirely upon his own preferences, and thus offended many in the Supreme Interface. But precisely because he had no forces behind him, he also feared no retaliation. One person full, the whole family is not hungry; but those forces that he offended dared not pursue the Stealer of the Heavenly Dao too harshly.
If they truly targeted the Stealer of the Heavenly Dao, and if they could not kill him on the spot, then everyone in their forces would face the danger of being attacked by an All Things Realm powerhouse. This was not a joking matter.
"Woof! You lad have some talent." It was only after Mu Can divided everyone into groups that Wang Cai thought of refining Communication Jade Pendants for them. With the pendants, the teams could work more unitedly.
"Let’s stop here." Wang Cai signaled everyone to halt for a brief encampment.
A dog riding in a sedan chair carried by people caused quite a stir at the scene, but the commotion slowly dissipated after witnessing the drunkard’s strength.
If every follower possesses the strength of a Martial Saint, then the power of this dog can be imagined. After all, the Mortal World is ultimately a place where strength is paramount. Even a dog, if it has strength, can acquire a high status.
