Chapter 1058: A Grand Event in Jiang Bei
“Minhui, why are you here? You should have told me, so I could ask Yingxia, Xingyu and Yicheng to also be here.” The CEO of the Tian Shen Corporation, Yang Chao, moved closer. He was thirty years old, the golden age of a man. He was extremely confident, given his status as the leader of a top company like the Tian Shen Corporation.
The woman next to him, Zhang Yumeng, had become more mature and she looked gorgeous with all her jewelry.
The man was Chu Minhui.
His energy wasn’t strong, but he seemed to have merged with the world and had apparently reached the peak stage of the Divine Sea Level. He was only half a step away from the Connate Level. A few other senior members of the government also looked fearful when they looked at Chu Minhui; they were in complete awe of this peerless Overlord.
“We’re here for an urgent matter, something important and confidential. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have spared my time to come.” Chu Minhui smiled.
The young people of the current generation in Chu Zhou City had walked onto the stage.
Yang Chao took over his father’s business once he retired from the National Basketball Team and he developed the Tian Shen Corporation to become the largest company in Chu Zhou City and Jiang Bei. Si Yinxia became Vice Minister of a Ministry, while Li Yichen was leading a department in the government; he was at the moment one of the top heavy hitters in the Jiang Nan Province.
The others, including Ji Xingyu, Han Ming and Lin Lulu, were also shining bright in different fields, needless to mention “Ji Xingyu,” a disciple of the Taichu Temple’s Master.
The younger generation of Chu Zhou City was thriving and some people even called them the Chu Zhou Gang. Those people shared resources and intel, and they had gone a long way in their own field.
Confidential?
Yang Chao didn’t ask anything else. He turned to the woman with sunglasses and a Dharma Artifact. “This must be Beauty Tang. I’m Yang Chao. Nice to meet you.”
“Hm.” The woman nodded.
She was a bit arrogant, but Yang Chao didn’t say anything. The woman was much older than they were, let alone the status of her father, the peerless overlord of the Jiang Nan Province.
“Come on, let’s go inside.”
They went straight to the 100th floor of the Tian Shen Building.
When they arrived, Yang Chao immediately turned on a few high-tech anti-wiretapping devices and took out a jade tablet to open a layer of green-lit screen. He then said, “Minhui, you’re the leader of Cang Dragon. We normally can’t even meet once every few years. There must be something earth-shattering that brought you and Beauty Tang here.”
Chu Minhui looked at the woman with sunglasses and nodded.
“The reason why we came…” Chu Minhui looked at the woman with sunglasses. She then took the glasses off, exposing her gorgeous face. She was apparently Chen Fan’s old friend, Tang Yuanqin’s daughter, Tang Yifei.
Tang Yifei said coldly, “Do you still remember the incident that happened at East Mountain in Jin City not long ago?”
“You mean the Deity on East Mountain? Of course I do. Everyone talked about it on the Internet the past few days. They said he may be a hidden Golden Core Perfected Cultivator or a master of the North Qiong Sect.” Yang Chao suddenly remembered something and he was stunned. “Are you thinking that he may be Chen…”
“Right.”
Chu Minhui and Tang Yifei nodded.
Yang Chao froze there with a pale face. He said after a while, “But he’s already been away for a decade and we never heard from him ever since. He didn’t even come back when the North Qiong Sect was destroyed. Would he show up now? Besides, even if he returns, he’s just a Golden Core Cultivator. How could he help?”
“We understand what you’re saying, but there’s nothing else we can do right now.” Tang Yifei heaved a sigh.
“Right, Yang Chao, have you heard? The current leader of Kunlun, Azure Dragon, was severely injured when he challenged the Wuji Arena not long ago,” Chu Minhui said seriously.
“What?”
Yang Chao was stunned.
Even though the world had changed, people at the top on Earth were the same. Azure Dragon was the leader of the four Generals of Kunlun and the only Immortal State Warrior in China. He was even one of the most powerful Golden Core Cultivators below Ye Nantian at the moment. He ruled over Kunlun and was like a guardian of the country. And yet, such a cultivator was seriously injured? The world would be astonished if the news was spread.
“Did the Wuji Arena Master do it?” Yang Chao asked quickly.
The Taichu Temple, the Wuji Arena, the Sun Palace and the Xuankong Sect were undoubtedly the most powerful sacred grounds in the world. Their Sect Masters were also top cultivators on Earth.
“No, a nameless cultivator defeated Azure Dragon with an attack. The Sect Master of the Wuji Arena didn’t even show up,” Chu Minhui said.
“Stth!”
Yang Chao gasped.
A nameless cultivator was able to defeat Azure Dragon, one of the strongest Golden Core Cultivators in China? Everyone knew what this meant.
Yang Chao hesitated and said, “Perhaps it really is a Deity from another planet…”
Forces like the Taichu Temple and the Wuji Arena were mysterious and unpredictable. They seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, but they were extremely powerful. Not even the alien races like the Kindred would dare to provoke them. Many people guessed that they had the support from Deities of other planets. It seemed that people like Yang Chao knew this was probably true.
“Yes, although we’ve tried our best to contain the news, those Deities are showing up more often. They always appear in mountains like Kunlun and Yunling to look for Grotto-heavens. Besides, we can’t hide it from the Taichu Temple and the Wuji Arena any longer. General Ye may have cultivated hard, but he’s just become a Golden Core Cultivator. Even if he’s got a superior-grade Golden Core, there would still be a huge gap between his power and that of the Deities.” Chu Minhui smiled wryly.
“If there’s someone on Earth who can fight with those Deities, that’s him.”
After that.
The entire room went silent.
After a while, Yang Chao said, “So, you’re here for Chen Fan, but why just you two?”
He finally knew how urgent the situation was. Azure Dragon had lost and Ye Nantian was the most powerful cultivator left in China, but his level was similar to that of Azure Dragon. However, Yang Chao was wondering why they had sent Chu Minhui and Tang Yifei to look for Chen Fan. They should have used the country’s forces.
“Yang, do you know how many enemies Perfected Cultivator Beixuan had on Earth back then? The Christian Church, Dragon Lake, the Kindred, the Mayans, the Dark Wolves… It’s almost uncountable. People behind the collapse of the North Qiong Sect are similar to those alien races. If we look for him so publicly, do you think their enemies wouldn’t find out?” Tang Yifei said.
Right!
Yang Chao nodded after hearing this reasoning.
Chen Fan had no idea someone was looking for him right then. The gathering of the younger generation lasted for several hours. In the end, Chu Yun and Jiang Feifei were the most powerful male and female cultivators respectively.
Chen Fan certainly didn’t take those battles seriously, but Yan Junze’s eyes brightened and were full of jealousy and admiration. For a person like him—who was rich but was unable to cultivate—a Foundation Establishment Cultivator was also superior, not to mention Chu Yun and Jiang Feifei who were Ethereal Enlightenment Grandmasters.
The gathering ended soon after.
Jiang Feifei was taken away by her friends, and only Chen Fan and Yan Junze were left there. When they went downstairs, they walked past a woman with sunglasses. That woman turned around and looked at Chen Fan in doubt, but heaved a sigh and left in the end.
Chen Fan’s life went back to normal when he returned to the villa on Yunwu Mountain.
He cultivated during the day and traveled around Earth with his Immortal Will at night. Auntie Tang had been busy lately. She was trying to find people related to the North Qiong Sect for Chen Fan’s sake. As for Jiang Feifei, she was still ignoring Chen Fan and would only nod at him when they ran into each other.
This lasted for a week.
One night.
When Chen Fan returned the three flowers into his body, he opened his eyes and knew it was time to leave. He had stabilized his current level after ten days of cultivation. He returned to Earth to find his parents and family, and it was apparently impossible to do so if he just stayed in Chu Zhou City.
“I’ll say goodbye to Auntie Tang tomorrow,” Chen Fan thought.
However, Auntie Tang brought some news back the next day.
There would be a grand cultivation event in Jiang Bei. By then, all the top cultivators of the province and those from other places would attend. There might even be Connate Cultivators and Earth Level Deities. The famous sects, including the Ba Ji Sect, the Tai Chi Sect, the legendary Taichu Temple and the Sun Palace would also send representatives to participate in the gathering.
Chen Fan didn’t have the slightest interest about that kind of gathering, but what Auntie Tang said changed his mind. She told him that a core member of the North Qiong Sect might attend the event.
