Chapter 146: The Flesh Crusher
At dusk, Shi Chi Di stepped into the door of Jinghui Hotel.
In the past two years, Jiaxing has entered a period of rapid development of the entertainment industry, with hotels and comprehensive commercial buildings rising one after another, and Jinghui Hotel is also one of them, a top hotel integrating accommodation, banquets, KTV, fitness and other major elements.
When he was still in college before, he used to come here to work during the winter and summer vacations, but he was working in the kitchen at the time, and he never came again after graduation, and he never thought that more than a year had passed in a blink of an eye, but this time he stepped here as a guest, and in retrospect, people couldn't help but feel emotional.
Standing in the lobby, Shi Chiyan sighed silently for a while, and then turned left and came to the elevator, not thinking that there were already a few people standing at the elevator entrance.
Luo Yinxiao, Yu Liang, Fang Sun, An Feiyang, Luoyang and two young men, except for the latter two, the others are all from Yangshenmen, and Shi Chi Yan has also met them before, and they are not very familiar, but they all know each other.
Seeing Shi Chi Di, Luoyang's eyes had already narrowed habitually, An Feiyang frowned, but Luo Yinxiao smiled and nodded with him: "Brother Shi." β
"Lord Romon." Shi Chiyan nodded in return.
"I met in a hurry last time, so I didn't have time to talk more," Luo Yinxiao said with a smile, "Let me introduce you, these two are the left and right protectors of my Yangshenmen, Yu Liang and Fang Sun." β
Yu Liang, the left protector, looked about forty or fifty years old, with a little gray hair hidden in his hair, thick eyebrows and small eyes, a wide and fat body, and a gentle smile on his face, looking as amiable as Maitreya Buddha.
The right protector Fang Sun is a little serious, with knife-like eyebrows, although he wears a pair of glasses, he still can't hide the sharpness in his eyes, his body is burly, and he stands here like a steel knife.
As for the last two young men, they were both Yu Liang's disciples, Zhang Minchao and Tao Ye.
After meeting them in turn, Shi Chi Yan asked with a smile, "Do you know the origin of the new dragon team leader?" β
Shaking his head, Luo Yin smiled warmly: "This new team leader came suddenly, there was no movement in advance, I asked people to check, and I only knew that this was a member of the dragon's tooth before." β
The dragon group is divided into two parts, the outside is the branches all over the country, collectively known as the dragon scale department, and the inside is the Beijing headquarters, and the lowest one that can enter it also has an A-level cultivation, which is collectively called the dragon tooth department.
"It seems that it is not small!" When I thought about the invitation sent by courier, my smile was a little playful.
Luo Yinxiao saw a few clues, and he didn't say anything, but smiled silently.
Speaking of which, Luo Yinxiao and Yuhualong's temperament is quite similar, both are gentle and elegant, but the latter is external and internally rigid, and the inner neutral character is extremely strong and heroic, while the former is closer to elegance.
After chatting a few words, the elevator had arrived, and everyone stepped in turn, pressed the button, and soon came to the third floor.
Walking out of the elevator, Shi Chi Yan and the others quickly came to the banquet hall where the succession ceremony was held, and just after entering, he had already sensed the momentum surging from all around, he turned his head and glanced around, and found many cultivators, some wearing fake company nameplates used by the dragon group to hide their identities, and some were people from other forces.
"Old times!" Shi Chiyan was observing the surroundings, and someone suddenly greeted him not far away, and Chen Zuoheng, who was talking to two men, came over with a wine glass and said with a smile, "You're here too?" β
The corners of his mouth grinned, and Shi Chi smiled and said, "I always feel that you are laughing at my coffee position too low." β
Chen Zuoheng laughed, I haven't seen him for a long time, the aura of this guy actually has faint signs of breaking through, it seems that it won't take long for him to break through to the Yuan Shen stage.
Seeing Shi Chi's eyes exploring, Chen Zuoheng wondered: "What are you looking at?" β
"You're about to break through, aren't you?" Shi Chi Yan asked.
Chen Zuoheng smiled and raised his chin proudly: "That's right!" β
"Congratulations!" Shi Chiyan hugged his fists and congratulated without any "sincerity".
"Okay, don't make a fuss, I'll tell you something," Chen Zuoheng took a sip of red wine and said, "Our Yanhu Purple Sword Sect and Wudao Group cooperated in mining a vein in Yunnan two years ago, but recently it seems that some foreign forces have started the idea of that vein, I will go over in two days, you go with me." β
After joining the Yanhu Purple Sword Sect, Shi Chiyan had also read the history of the sect and knew that the Wudao Group and Yao Hailei had always been allies, so it was normal for the Yanhu Purple Sword Sect to cooperate with them.
"Vein?" Shi Chi Yan thought about it, nodded and said, "Okay!" Notify me the day before your departure. β
βOKοΌ I'm waiting for your words! Chen Zuoheng said with a smile, "I've heard that the ninth rank is rivaled by the tenth rank, and it has even hit the great demon of the half-step primordial god, you 'flesh crusher' have a good reputation!" β
"'Flesh Crusher'?" The corners of Shi Chiyan's eyes twitched, and he said speechlessly, "What do you call it?" β
"This is what many people in the cultivation world have given you," Chen Zuoheng said with a wicked smile, "And it's also a 'Dao Sect Body Crusher', but he is afraid of the Dao Sect, and few people dare to say the first two words." β
Putting down the wine glass, Chen Zuoheng said: "Think about it yourself, whenever the people of the Dao Sect meet you, how many of them are better, is it basically everyone who has been broken by you?" β
It's really true when I think about it, but this name is too ugly, and there is always a weird feeling that he is moving closer to the flower thief.
At first, Chi Yan thought that this succession ceremony was in the form of a press conference, but after he came, he found that the dragon group had two buffet tables arranged on both sides of the banquet hall, which were full of all kinds of drinks and meals.
After taking a few desserts and a drink, Shi Chiyan and Chen Zuoheng walked to the corner sofa and sat down, chatting softly.
After a while, several people walked in outside the banquet hall, and they were three people, including Fish into Dragon, Fish into the Sea, and Wang Fengyun.
Shi Chiyan said hello to Chen Zuoheng, then got up to greet him, and when he saw him, Yuhualong smiled: "Hour." β
"Uncle Yu, Uncle Hai, Elder Wang." Shi Chiyan greeted them in turn, and Yu entered the sea and sniffled, and snorted: "What is Uncle Hai, just call the second uncle." β
Shi Chiyan knew that he was still remembering the trouble he had come to him last year, so he sneered: "Second uncle." β
Seeing that he was quite good at climbing along the pole, the anger that had not been left in the bottom of the fish into the sea disappeared, and said with a smile: "When are you and Xiaowei going to get married?" β
Shi Chi was stunned for a moment, and said embarrassedly: "It's still early!" β
Yuhualong looked at him out of the corner of his eye, and didn't make a sound, although he didn't want his daughter to marry so early, but when he saw Shi Chi Di, he seemed to shirk it, and he didn't feel a fire surging in his heart, and sneered: "How long is that about the same?" β
Shi Chiyan also saw that he was dissatisfied, his heart was crossed, and he said in a deep voice: "As long as the senior sister is willing, tomorrow will be fine." β
Under the gaze of the Yu brothers, the momentum that Shi Chi Yan had just held up couldn't help but quickly fall, and finally added without embarrassment: "But Senior Sister is now in the Soul Tribulation Period, wait until she reaches the True Form Period." β
During the soul tribulation period, you have to get through the heart demon tribulation, and the most taboo is the turmoil of the mood, and the concern of Shi Chi Di is also reasonable, Yuhualong's expression eased a little, and he nodded: "I don't get involved in the affairs of young people, as long as you don't let her down." β
While several people were talking, there were already members of the dragon group on stage, holding the microphone and beckoning everyone to take their seats, saying that the succession ceremony was about to begin.
The seats of the Yin Yang Sect and the Yanhu Purple Sword Sect were arranged in the second row on the left, and in front of them was Wu Yue Mansion, but the lord of the mansion, Wang Pu, did not come, and what came was a middle-aged man with a dark complexion.
After everyone took their seats, accompanied by a burst of music, the host of the ceremony had already arrived at the presiding stage, and the voice began clearly.
The opening at the beginning was naturally a few clichΓ©s, Shi Chi Yan lowered his head and played with his mobile phone for a while, and suddenly heard "Team Leader Li is invited to the stage", so he raised his head and applauded with everyone.
With the camera flashing in the back row, a middle-aged strong man in a suit walked out of the backstage, walked quickly to the ** stage, first nodded lightly with everyone, and then came to the host stage and picked up the microphone.
"Hello everyone, let me introduce myself first, in Xia Li Xian, the new leader of the Jiaxing branch of the Dragon Group, as before, is mainly responsible for managing the cultivation world in our city, I hope you can support more."
Shi Chiyan listened, his brows furrowed slightly, and he said in a low voice: "Manage the cultivation world of our city? Do the Dragons still have this power? β
"Yes, yes, it depends on the situation," Chen Zuoheng crooked his mouth and chuckled, "If you encounter a place where there are no top-level sects, then you naturally have to be managed by them, but top sects like the Refining Weapon Sect and the Danding Sect, do you think you will listen to the words of the Dragon Group?" β
Suddenly, at this time, Li Xian was still delivering his succession speech: "...... I think many people know that a few years ago, my country experienced a major catastrophe, countless heroes fell, and the vitality of my country's cultivation world was greatly damaged, and many foreign forces saw the opportunity, and they have repeatedly provoked our country over the years, so my dragon group has always unswervingly fulfilled the two words over the years, stability! β
As he spoke, Li Xian's gaze slowly swept across the audience, paused on the left side, and showed a bit of incomprehensibility in his eyes, and said lightly: "In the past year, there have been several more serious incidents in my country's cultivation world, and three of them have involved no less than ten forces, almost causing a large-scale war. β
"This is not in line with the current environment of my country's cultivation world, nor is it in line with the policy of our dragon group to manage the cultivation world, so I hope you can keep in mind that the stability of the country and the stability of the cultivation world is the core line of our country's development.
Sensing Li Xian's gaze staring at him, a wave of anger surged in Shi Chi Yan's heart, but he thought about it again and again, but he still didn't stand up and question.
Seeing that Chi Yan was silent, Li Xian's face showed a little satisfaction, and he nodded: "Next, I will talk about a few things that will be carried out next in the Jiaxing branch, and I hope you will cooperate more." β
There are many forces invited to participate in the conference this time, in addition to the five major sects of Yin Yang Sect, Yanhu Purple Sword Sect, Qian'an Sect, Yangshen Sect, and Wuyue Mansion, there are also small forces such as Yaxia Sect and Yin Moon Sect.
And how many of those who are qualified to participate in the succession ceremony on behalf of their forces will not have long brains?
At this time, many people had already heard what Li Xian was saying, but everyone didn't speak, quietly listening to what Li Xian announced next.
