Chapter 258: Painstaking (Part 1)
"How is that possible?"
Long Jun lowered his head, hiding the infinite shock in his eyes.
He naturally knows Zheng Anqi, as the proud daughter of the Zheng family in Hongdao, a well-known international supermodel, and even Long Jun himself has beaten Zheng Anqi's idea.
But he also knew that Zheng Anqi should look old at this time, and many lace tabloids in Hongdao chased Zheng Anqi every day, and the photos of her wrinkled face and gray hair had long been spread throughout Hongdao.
But now Long Jun saw a young and beautiful Zheng Anqi, and she seemed to be more beautiful and temperamental than before, with a crystal light shining in her white and tender skin.
"Master Ye has just signed a letter of appointment, appointing me as the assistant to the chairman, and during his absence, acting in his place as the chairman of the board, and recommending to the board of directors that I am the president of the Zheng Group, do you have any objections?"
Ignoring the horrified gazes of everyone, Zheng Anqi stepped on high heels, and in the sound of dada, he walked to the chairman's position step by step, put down the documents in his hand, looked around left and right, and said coldly.
Not a single person spoke up.
Everyone is still in shock.
Moreover, half of the board of directors of the Zheng Group is composed of the Zheng family, and half is held by the old ministers and shareholders of the Zheng family.
After the Zheng family was swept out, Ye Chen controlled almost half of the equity, and if he insisted on promoting the appointment, no one could stop him.
Long Jun and others just wanted to use the stock price and future development prospects of the Zheng Group to coerce Ye Chen and make Ye Chen give up control of the group.
They have secretly discussed that as long as Ye Chen appoints an outsider as president, they will immediately threaten Ye Chen in the form of protests, blocking stocks, employee strikes, and shareholders withdrawing shares.
As a result, he didn't expect that Ye Chen appointed Zheng Anqi.
As the daughter of the Zheng family, Zheng Anqi is naturally supported by the old courtiers of the Zheng family, and she has outstanding ability, and has always been regarded as the heir of the third generation of the Zheng family, not to mention that Zheng Anqi was obviously an old woman before, but now she suddenly regained her youth and beauty, and the means shown by Ye Chen behind this are simply terrifying.
In the meeting where everyone had no objections, Zheng Anqi successfully ascended to the position of president of Zheng Group, and quickly began to exercise control vigorously, Long Jun sighed, got up and left the venue.
He knew that the moment Zheng Anqi appeared, it meant that he lost this game.
"Mr. Long, what should we do next? Will it continue to block the shares of the Zheng Group? ”
Wearing black high heels, stockings, and silver-rimmed glasses, the beautiful secretary who graduated from Columbia University in the United States followed closely behind Long Jun and said worriedly.
"No, stop now."
Although he lost a game, Long Jun did not have much loss on his face, he was in the corridor of the Zheng Group Building, through the tempered glass, overlooking the entire Hong Island.
"Although the Zheng Group lost this game, it doesn't mean that we will lose to him Ye Lingtian."
"There are too many people who don't want Ye Lingtian to stay in Hongdao anymore."
"We're going to find a new master for Hongdao."
Long Jun's eyes sparkled.
……
With Zheng Anqi's resolute skills and the support of many old ministers of the Zheng family, the form of the Zheng Group has finally entered the formal.
Although it will be turbulent for a while, it is already harmless, and at this time, Ye Chen only has one last purpose left in Hongdao, which is to collect the materials of the magic circle.
The Blue Dragon Great Array requires a large amount of magic circle materials.
As the capital of magic, Hongdao has recently held the Lingnan International Metaphysics Conference, and many warlocks from all over the south and even overseas have gathered in Hongdao.
They more or less have some magic array materials in their hands, and in their hands, these materials can at most set up a feng shui array, set up a house to ward off evil spirits, or refine magic weapons, but in Ye Chen's hands, they can turn into a super-large formation covering a radius of dozens of acres.
The exchange items that Ye Chen took out were also full of temptation for these warlocks.
Longjing Lingquan, Xiao Pei Yuan Dan, Jing Qi Pill, Quenching Pill, Gathering Spirit Pill, all kinds of small spells, including some array techniques.
As long as they had good enough magic circle materials, Ye Chen could even teach them the true method of cultivating immortals.
It's a pity that it requires a real treasure of heaven and earth, and no one has been able to come up with it so far.
"Obsidian, Earth Essence, Pylon, Beast Bone, Qingxuanmu, Jiaolong's Scale ......" These warlocks have a very deep family background, many of which are materials that they have passed down for generations or even more than ten generations, and many of them are now extinct on the earth and belong to rare treasures.
He had received several treasures like the bones of the Yin Snake alone, as well as a scale that was suspected to be a light spirit beast.
These materials add up, not to mention the cloth of a green dragon array, it is more than enough to arrange a few of them, which makes Ye Chen's eyebrows widen and he can't close his mouth with a smile.
And what I didn't pay was just some pills and basic spells, which were simply not worth mentioning.
"It's almost collected, wait for another three days, and after three days, you can almost leave for Luzhou." Ye Chen stayed in the Zheng family's villa on the hill in Repulse Bay, secretly calculating.
The richness of the results this time is almost not inferior to the Medicine Pavilion in the Medicine God Valley.
Many materials, those warlocks can feel extraordinary, and the aura contained in them, but they don't know how to use them, and as a result, Ye Chen is cheaper, and any spiritual material, in the hands of him, a formation master, can glow with unprecedented brilliance.
"Master Ye, your tea."
A peerless beauty with a tall figure and a cold appearance gently placed it on the desk with a cup of soaked high-quality sparrow tongue.
She was dressed in simple home clothes, and her long white and blonde hair was tied up with a wooden hairpin, and she looked like a docile young woman.
"There are people to do this, I don't need you to come, I got you back, and I asked you to manage the Zheng Group for me." Ye Chen took a sip of the tongue, and said casually.
"You said that you want my absolute loyalty, and from that moment on, you are my master." Zheng Anqi stood there and said calmly.
She stared at the ordinary-looking young man in front of her, and the expression in her eyes was extremely complicated.
It was this young man who single-handedly threw her into hell, deprived her grandfather of his life, turned her into an ugly old woman, and left her all the people in rebellion, almost desperate.
But it was this teenager who single-handedly pulled her to heaven, restored her appearance, and made her the host of a consortium of tens of billions.
If you want to say hate, Zheng Anqi hates him very much.
But after thinking about it carefully, there was not much hatred, Old Man Zheng should have died, it was she who deceived a hundred essence pills from Ye Chen, so that Old Man Zheng could live for an extra year, which was owed by her and the entire Zheng family to Ye Chen.
What's more, Ye Chen also let her really see the warmth and coldness of human feelings, and the hot and cold world, she didn't expect that in the end, the best for her turned out to be the culprit who killed her.
When Ye Chen restored her appearance, Zheng Anqi had already decided to hand over the future to this young man.
Because her father, mother, family, and even friends had abandoned her, it was Ye Chen who saved her.
"I will leave for Luzhou in three days, you can call me if you have something, since you are my slave, then no one can hurt you except me." Ye Chen said lightly.
"Yes."
Zheng Anqi trembled and bowed her head in response.
She waited for a while, and saw that Ye Chen was buried in sorting out all kinds of strange materials, so she left the study lightly.
……
The Lingnan International Metaphysics Conference is being held in an orderly manner.
But the aftermath of Zhou Daoji's death has just begun to bloom, Zhou Daoji is the first magic of the Yanxia Southern School, and the peak master of the cultivation of the Tao of Feng Shui.
He has been in charge of Hongdao for decades, and I don't know how many waves of foreign invasions he has stopped for Hongdao.
As an international metropolis and a shining pearl in the South China Sea, Hongdao has always been the focus of attention of the entire overseas Chinese community, especially the overseas Chinese community in the southeast.
The headquarters of many multinational companies in Greater China are located in Hongdao, which used to be blocked by Zhou Daoji, and many foreign forces have never been able to touch this piece of fat, but now Zhou Daoji's death has suddenly set off shocking waves in the Chinese circle in the southeast and overseas.
Overseas Thailand, Chiang Mai streets, Chinatown.
An ancient temple enshrines a one-eyed dragon king, whose statue is extremely hideous, and its scales are as black as ink, shining with a deep light.
And under the statue, sat this old man wearing a black robe with a thin face.
The old man sat there quietly, the space around him seemed to be shrouded by an invisible force, slightly bent and collapsed inside, and a mosquito accidentally flew into this space, and was torn to pieces in an instant.
"Teacher, Zhou Daoji is dead."
There was a sound of heavy footsteps, and from outside the main hall, walked a short, black and thin man, this man was as if he was poured with fine iron from top to bottom, and every muscle contained incredible explosive power.
He tied his head with a belt, wore a mangie vest, had two arms outstretched, and was barefoot.
Every time he stepped on the ground, it was like a colossus walking.
After the black thin man entered the main hall, he respectfully bowed to the thin old man under the statue, and if there was a master in the Muay Thai world, he would be dumbfounded.
Because this black and thin man is one of the most well-known ancient Muay Thai masters in the entire Thai world, it is said that he has the power of a dragon elephant, enough to lift an elephant in anger, and he is not comparable to the immortal cultivation master in Yanxia.
And now, he stood respectfully in front of the old man, like a primary school student seeing a teacher.
"Arrodi, your heart is in turmoil."
The thin old man's eyes were closed, but between his eyebrows, there was a red mark, like a third eye, which opened strangely at this time, like a golden vertical pupil, cold and shining.
Seeing this, Arro's head lowered and his attitude became more respectful.
Even if he is an invincible martial arts master who is invincible throughout Thailand, an ancient Muay Thai master, and can punch and kill Benxiang, but in front of this old man, he can't raise the slightest sense of challenge.
Because Arro knew that the person in front of him might be one of the most powerful magic masters in the entire Thai overseas and even in the southeast overseas.
The Great Head Descending Division, Dashawa Kunlong.
He is a master of Southeast Overseas Magic who is well-known in the entire Chinese circle, and he is also the only Chinese among the most well-known masters of great descent.
Although he may have less than a quarter of his Chinese ancestry, he has always been known as two Chinese masters along with Zhou Daoji in the overseas Chinese circle in the southeast.
However, unlike Zhou Daoji, Kunlong is known for his strange head-lowering spells and cursed witchcraft, and is revered by the locals as the "Dulong King".
Arro knew that the title of the Dulong King was not called nonsense.
The old man's eyes were actually blind a long time ago, but the third eye between his eyebrows was an earth-shattering spell that had replaced the role of the eyes, and he could see the world from another perspective, which was clearer and more thorough than ordinary people's eyes, and could quickly release all kinds of strange spells.
Once Arlo challenged the old man, he was invincible, he could kill the tiger and leopard's iron fist, in front of the old man's weird vertical pupils, but soft and powerless, by the old man with various spells to make him weaker than ordinary people, and finally Ah Luo enemy willingly, worship under the old man's door, become the only dragon and one line of Dharma Protector Venerable.
"Thirty years ago, I once went to Hongdao with Ma Yanxiu, a Chinese boxer from Malaysia, and wanted to occupy this piece of feng shui treasure, but I was locked in the ninth street by Zhou Daojishu and killed Ma Yanxiu.
Kun Long stood up and walked barefoot on the bluestone floor, recalling in a hoarse voice.
"After I returned to Chiang Mai, I immersed myself in penance, practiced the one-man eye technique, and challenged Zhou Daoji when I went to Hongdao again, but at that time Zhou Daoji laid down a very large magic circle in Jiujie Mountain, I was sure to defeat Zhou Daoji, but I was not sure to break his magic circle, and I had to return in vain, so it has been nearly 20 years."
Arro listened quietly.
He knew that what he was listening to now was probably a secret battle between several masters of the highest magic skills in the entire Southeast Overseas Territory, each of whom stood at the pinnacle of magic and possessed secret cards that were beyond mortals.
"In the past 20 years, I have continued to cultivate, and my magic skills have increased day by day, and I think that except for that person in the entire Thai world, I am afraid that no one is my opponent, even Zhou Daoji, and it is not my opponent." Kun Long said lightly.
"Unexpectedly, I just found a way to break his magic circle, and Zhou Daoji actually died?"
"He pressed me outside of Thailand for 30 years, and I couldn't touch Hong Island, but now I'm dead? Don't you say that my thirty years have been in vain? ”
"Teacher." Arro shuddered, his head almost down to the floor.
"Who killed him?" Kun Long stood under the idol of the one-eyed dragon king with his hands in his hands, and said coldly.
"An immortal cultivator in the hot summer, named Ye Lingtian." A Luo said respectfully.
"Ye Lingtian?" Kun Long frowned slightly.
"The top immortal cultivation masters in the hot summer, I have heard of them, Lin Tatian, Hua Yunfeng, Qinglong, Chen Beixuan, and even Luo Chengtian of the overseas Gedat Temple, but I have never heard of Ye Lingtian."
"Teacher, he is a Yanxia master who has just risen in this year, and he killed Luo Chengtian as soon as he debuted, and it is said that the Yanxia people respect him as the first immortal master." Arro said with a hint of discoloration flashing in his eyes.
He is also an ancient Muay Thai master outside Thailand, and he is really happy to hear about such a powerful immortal cultivation master, and he can't wait to fight.
He had already stood at the pinnacle of the Taihai Immortal Cultivation Realm, and now the only ones who could arouse his desire to challenge were those top immortal cultivators in the hot summer.
"Did Luo Chengtian die at his hands?" Kunlong was slightly stunned, but he didn't care too much.
"Luo Chengtian's cultivation, I saw it ten years ago, although it is powerful, it is not my opponent, but this Ye Lingtian can kill Zhou Daoji, it is really beyond my expectations."
Kun Long raised his head, and said with a glint in his eyes: "When you cultivate to our realm, you will sense that the divine realm is only one step away from us, but this step away is almost like a heavenly moat, since ancient times, almost all those who can step into the divine realm are cultivators such as us, and there are very few others who can enter the divine realm, and it can even be said that there is only one." ”
"Who?" Arro was stunned.
"A hundred years ago, the number one master in the hot summer, the Lin family." Kun Long's tone was unprecedentedly cautious, and his words were low.
"Southeast Lin family?" Arro also bowed his head deeply.
The Lin family's reputation is dormant in the hot summer, but it still has a huge deterrent power overseas, twenty years ago, the Lin family's immortal cultivation master Lin Tatian almost swept the southeast overseas, and Arrot has also witnessed Lin Tatian's majesty.
But it was such a big master, and he was killed by the Lin family, which shows how terrifying the hidden power of the Lin family is.
"Legend has it that this Ye Lingtian seems to be a genius who cultivates immortals and spells together, combining law and martial arts." Arro hesitated.
"I see." Kun Long nodded.
"However, our Immortal Dao pursues the only essence and the purest, and he practices the true element and magic at the same time, isn't it contrary to this rule and a great taboo of distraction?" Arrot was puzzled.
He is sincere in boxing, and has dedicated almost his life to ancient Muay Thai, whether walking, sitting or lying, even eating and living, including bed exercise, he is practicing the way of ancient Muay Thai.
A Luo Di couldn't imagine that an immortal cultivator who had reached the top of the Immortal Dao would actually cultivate magic at the same time, which were simply two opposite paths.
"You don't understand." Kun Long put his hands behind his back, and his golden vertical pupils shone with the light of wisdom.
"It is very difficult to cultivate the immortal path, and the immortal cultivators in the world are far better than the magic, whether it is the true yuan martial arts of the hot summer, the extreme vacuum karate of the Sun Country, including the true transmission of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu in Ba Overseas, or even the ancient yoga secret art of the Indian country, and even the ancient Thai boxing technique outside Thailand, etc., it is very difficult to cultivate, and the number of immortal cultivators is far more than the master of magic."
"However, sorcery has a transcendent status." Kun Long raised his head and said proudly: "Although there are not many magic masters in the world, almost every one of them can finally step into the peak. ”
"The 'god' of the divine realm refers to the 'spirit', for hundreds of years, there are very few people who can rely on the immortal path to enter the gods, almost all of them rely on the way of magic."
"Yes, whether it is the head lowering technique, feng shui technique, ancient witchcraft, ninjutsu, spells, etc., the more you cultivate to the back, the more powerful you become, and the top magic master will inevitably be stronger than the top immortal cultivation master." Kun Long said slowly.
"Therefore, if an immortal cultivator wants to enter the divine realm, in the end, he must seek a way in the magic, and the immortal path is cultivated to the end, and the magic is the same way, the two are one, and when they reach the divine realm, they will no longer be divided into the difference between the immortal path and the magic."
Arodi listened, deeply shocked.
These are secrets that he has never heard in his decades of life.
It turned out that there were so many connections between the Immortal Dao and the magic method, and he was immersed in practicing the boxing method, but he didn't know that the more he did, the farther away from the divine realm.
I'm afraid that only a master like Kun Long, who stands at the top of the world's magic, can know about it!
Thinking of this, Arrodi involuntarily knelt on the ground, with bluestone floor tiles on his forehead, respectful as god.
"Ye Lingtian was able to kill Zhou Daoji in the formation, his cultivation and spirit must have stepped into the pinnacle of the world, and if he took another step, he would be able to enter the divine realm, and he and I would only be between him." Kun Long sighed.
In addition to being amazed, there was also a trace of disbelief in Ah Luo's heart.
He didn't expect Kun Long's evaluation of Ye Chen to be so high, he was also an immortal cultivator, and Ah Luodi thought to himself that he was not much worse than Ye Chen.
At this time, a beautiful girl with bare feet and golden wrists in her arms and ankles walked in and said respectfully, "Master, the head of the Hongdao Long family has come to visit you. ”
"Haha, it seems that the big family of Hongdao can't sit still." Kun Long laughed.
The old man stood with his hands in his hands, stepped out of the main hall and said: "Let's go, Arlodi, let's go meet this old friend, I have waited for thirty years, and finally waited for this opportunity to enter Hongdao, this time, I want to turn Hongdao into my unique dojo." ”
"Teacher, you've finally waited for this opportunity." Arrot is also overjoyed.
The branches of Thailand are entangled, the Chinese are not native races, and no matter how strong the Kunlong technique is, it has to shrink to the generation of Chiang Mai.
But Hongdao is different, it is a pure Chinese territory, as long as Kunlong is based on Hongdao, he can replace Zhou Daoji's position, sit in this international metropolis, and pass it on from generation to generation.
"It's just, teacher, what about that Ye Lingtian?"
Arrodi frowned.
If Kunlong wants to occupy Hongdao, he will inevitably have a violent conflict with Ye Lingtian.
"You can rest assured, the realm is the realm, and the battle is the battle." Kun Long smiled proudly.
"I can't kill him, but it's not difficult to defeat him, besides, in terms of fighting methods, my big head lowering technique inherited from the ancient Wumen lineage, how can it be compared to Zhou Daoji, who has comprehended feng shui?"
Arro nodded, he had never lost faith in this powerful southeastern overseas descending master.
……
At the same time, in front of Ye Chen, there was a large stack of materials.
Although he has no relatives and no one available in Hongdao, it does not mean that Ye Chen is not well-informed.
Huang Wenze, Zhang Ziru, and Qiu Yulin are all snake-level figures who have been entrenched in Hongdao for decades.
From the top wealthy families in Hongdao, to the directors of major companies, to the ninth-rate gangsters and green skins, they all have their eyes and ears.
These warlocks of Hongdao formed a very large and tight network, covering the entire Hongdao, and there was almost no news that they did not know.
And the information in front of Ye Chen was sent by Qiu Yulin.
"The Long family?"
Ye Chen flipped through the information, his eyes shining with light.
Behind this siege of the Zheng Group, there are shadows of the major families in Hongdao, but it is the Long family who rushes to the forefront.
"It seems that before I leave Hongdao, I should go to the Long family first, Nie Shunchen last time is not enough to deter these greedy big families!" A sneer appeared at the corner of Ye Chen's mouth.
