"Well, last night while I was drinking with those people, I accidentally heard so news!"
Qin Ke had been mingling with those influential disciples almost every day lately.
Although these people weren’t the core disciples of their families,
they certainly knew more than he did.
"Oh...? Speak...what news!"
Chen Xuan knew that if it wasn’t important news, he wouldn’t have co to find him, so he was curious.
"It seems the Yang Family is in trouble, and the Crane King is very displeased!"
"Trouble, huh?"
Chen Xuan murmured softly.
The Yang Family was among the top ten in rMolan Mansion and had intricate ties with the Crane King.
It was said by the outside world that the Yang Family was a blade in the Crane King’s hand.
Things the Crane King wasn’t convenient to handle were all done by the Yang Family.
That is why in just a thousand years, the Yang Family sprang from a little-known small family to its current vast presence.
Moreover, many of the Crane King’s concubines were direct descendants of the Yang Family.
"Can we find out the specific reason?"
Chen Xuan was quite concerned about the Yang Family because he would eventually have to visit them to inquire about the World Spirit.
"It’s difficult! This news was also accidentally overheard from one of the Crane King’s concubines."
"She too was discontent with so won of the Yang Family and slipped her tongue, letting the news leak."
Last night, had he not been drunk, he wouldn’t have dared to say such things.
So once he sobered up, Qin Ke didn’t dare press for more information.
He feared arousing his suspicion.
After all, with a family like the Yang Family, a brothel owner deliberately inquiring would be suspicious.
He had previously instructed Qin Ke to pay more attention to the Yang Family.
So he ca to Chen Xuan early.
"Alright, I get it, continue keeping an eye on it, and as for the rest... don’t act for now!"
Chen Xuan pondered for a mont and decided not to startle the snake just yet.
"Yes!"
Qin Ke replied softly.
"By the way, prepare a distribution of all forces within this city, especially those that lurk in the shadows!"
"What do you an, Master?"
Qin Ke vaguely guessed his thoughts but didn’t directly voice them.
"It’s too peaceful, not good!"
Chen Xuan said calmly.
This place wasn’t like the Human Realm with its wars; with things so calm, it was difficult to extract information from the Yang Family.
So....
"Disciple understands!"
Qin Ke quickly caught on, so things Chen Xuan needed only to hint at for him to grasp.
"And the last task I gave you to contact the Yang Family’s servants, how’s it going?"
"Reporting to Master, there’s been so progress, but not much. It requires more ti."
After all, even dealing with servants depends on the people; if sothing goes wrong, it becos troubleso.
"Yes, take it slowly, the most important thing is ’stability’!"
"Also, you’re nearing the Nine Layers of Purity, aim to make a Realm Breakthrough to Immortal Grade as soon as possible! The stronger you are, the stronger the individuals you’ll interact with!"
Qin Ke nodded in agreent.
However—
There really wasn’t much ti, dealing with those young masters daily, leaving almost no ti for cultivation.
"I’ll do my best..."
...
Qin Ke’s efficiency was still very high.
Three days later!
The information on every force large and small in the city was laid out on Chen Xuan’s desk.
He read through each one in detail.
It wasn’t until nightfall that he finally finished reading.
"Damn..."
Chen Xuan uttered a curse; just in this city of rMolan Mansion, there were nearly a hundred forces, large and small.
It showed how big this city was.
In just the Eastern Domain alone, where he currently resided, there were over thirty.
It was also the most complicated region.
"Let’s start with this one!"
On top of the desk, written on a white sheet was the na Celestial Profound Gang, which controlled ten streets in the area where Chen Xuan resided.
They were like the local emperors of this region.
...
Zhuo Wu, the leader of the Celestial Profound Gang.
Ever since he beca the head of the Celestial Profound Gang, although there had been no progress in Martial Dao, his life was still very comfortable.
He had more than a dozen concubines alone.
"Cultivate, my ass!"
"Can you be as carefree and happy as I am?"
Today he was reprimanded again by the Li Family’s steward, leaving him in a foul mood, spouting curses non-stop since leaving the Li Family estate.
After all these years, if he could have broken through, he would have already.
It’s not like he was a salted fish!
But talent is what it is, this life he could only reach the first grade.
Might as well live freely and happily, isn’t that grand?
"Damn it, every year they take so many benefits from and still dare call lethargic and lazy!"
"Damn it!"
The Celestial Profound Gang stood firm in the Eastern Domain, not because of his first-grade strength, but because the Li Family backed him.
And the deal was handing over eighty percent of the inco.
"Hong’Er, I’m here!"
Upset, he went to his newly married concubine, intending to vent his frustrations.
Speaking of Hong’Er, she was the top courtesan in the brothel.
He had spent a fortune to win her over.
But... worth it!
Just her skills alone were worth the price.
"I thought you wouldn’t co tonight!"
Speaking, a woman dressed in a red silk camisole, revealing and alluring, walked out from the room with a seductive deanor.
Zhuo Wu’s eyes lit up imdiately.
Looking at her, her every frown and smile was so captivating.
It was worth every penny he spent to redeem her.
"Co on, how could I not? I wouldn’t miss it for the world!"
Zhuo Wu grinned, his eyes almost glued to her, and he swept her up in his arms, heading straight for the room.
"I have a fire in my heart today, you better serve well!"
"Oh dear, Master Zhuo, how could you say that? When have I ever not served you with all my heart? Rest assured, tonight you’ll experience sothing different."
The woman’s hand moved from his ear downward, sliding down to his neck, then to his chest, and finally stopping at a certain spot.
The touch of her fingernails on his skin brought a tingling sensation, and the final stop was perfectly placed.
Zhuo Wu couldn’t hold it in any longer.
He was parched!
This woman was just too damn enticing.
"Let’s go!"
...
In the room, after Zhuo Wu had indulged, he held the beauty in his arms, feeling much more at ease.
"Master Zhuo, today I saw a piece of jewelry that looked really beautiful when worn, but it was too expensive, and I couldn’t bear to buy it!"
The woman began her requests seeing that he was in a good mood.
"Buy it. Money, well, as long as you serve well, it’s not a problem!"
Zhuo Wu was always generous with won, especially obedient ones.
That’s why, despite having so many won, he never experienced any of those lodramatic jealous spats.
"Thank you, Master Zhuo!"
The woman excitedly gave him a big, fragrant kiss.
"Hehehe...."
Zhuo Wu showed a mischievous smile, "So how are you going to thank ?"
"Master, just you wait and see!"
With that, she started to move downward.
But—
"Cough, cough, cough...."
A sudden, untily cough sounded from within the room.
"Who’s there?"
Zhuo Wu was startled, his body tensed up; soone had entered his room silently.
And he hadn’t sensed a thing!
In an instant, he was standing on the bed, not caring whether he was clothed or not.
The woman, though her face changed, wasn’t too concerned since Zhuo Wu was a skilled man in her eyes.
She only saw a figure gradually appear, sitting by a table not far away.
Casually picking up a banana from the table to eat.
It was Chen Xuan! Of course, changing his appearance again.
Zhuo Wu was utterly shocked because he couldn’t sense the presence of this young man at all.
Only two possibilities: either this person was just an ordinary person.
Or his strength far surpassed Zhuo Wu’s.
Of course, no matter how foolish he was, he knew it was the latter possibility.
"May I know what instructions the senior has?"
Being the head of the Celestial Profound Gang all these years, his way of handling things was naturally impeccable.
Coming here so late, without rushing to take action, surely ant there was sothing to discuss.
"Not bad!"
After taking the last bite of the banana, Chen Xuan nodded.
Then he pointed at Zhuo Wu, "Put on so clothes, you’ll catch a chill!"
"Uh—"
Zhuo Wu looked down, suddenly feeling awkward.
The tension made him forget he was unclothed.
"Please wait a mont, senior!"
He quickly put on so clothes, ca over to Chen Xuan’s side, but didn’t sit down.
The woman, now dressed, too, approached confidently and poured a cup of tea for Chen Xuan.
She’d been around brothels long enough to spot the issue right away.
However... this man was quite plain-looking. If he were to take a liking to her, it wouldn’t be a bad choice.
After all, even Zhuo Wu stood respectfully in front of him.
So she gave Chen Xuan a sultry look.
For her, serving anyone was just a matter of serving; it made no difference.
As long as he was strong!
Chen Xuan released a ntal probe, and the next mont, the woman went limp on the ground.
For won from brothels like her, he had no interest.
And that bit of allure... couldn’t stir even the slightest ripple.
Even Zhuo Wu didn’t flinch when he saw this; to him, won were just objects of release.
At this mont, even if the man before him killed the woman, he wouldn’t say a word.
His own life was more important.
Won... heh!
"Sit!"
Chen Xuan motioned toward the chair and spoke.
"Thank you, senior!"
Zhuo Wu carefully sat down, then cautiously asked, "Senior, is there sothing you want to do? Please instruct , I will do my utmost to accomplish it!"
Chen Xuan turned his head and said calmly, "Draw your essential blood, swear a blood oath to serve , or... die!"
As soon as the word ’die’ was uttered!
An overwhelming aura pressed down on him.
Instantly Zhuo Wu’s face changed drastically; under this powerful pressure, not only did his breathing beco difficult, but he couldn’t even mobilize an ounce of spiritual power!
This strength... to kill him would be an instant task.
For soone like him, Chen Xuan wouldn’t bother with promises, making him work for him.
Bluntly put, serve or die!
It was that simple!
He couldn’t be bothered with unnecessary talk.
Without him, the Celestial Profound Gang would still exist as the Celestial Profound Gang.
"Alright!"
In a breath, Zhuo Wu made his decision.
For he could feel that if he dared utter a ’no,’ his death would imdiately follow.
