150: Chapter 150 The Yellow Heaven Cult is About to Uprising

After Widow Wang reminded Rushuang,

she came to the door of Chen Hu's study.

Before she could even raise her hand to knock, Chen Hu's voice came from inside: "Come in."

Widow Wang pushed the door open and entered, only to see Ruyi and Zhizhi standing to Chen Hu's left and right, massaging his shoulders.

Chen Hu waved her over.

Widow Wang obediently stepped forward and was pulled into Chen Hu's embrace, sitting on his lap.

"How does it feel?"

Chen Hu asked.

Widow Wang said, "Brother Hu's lap is quite comfortable."

Chen Hu was somewhat speechless. "I'm asking you how it felt to take a bath."

"Ah!"

Widow Wang looked embarrassed for a moment, but she was no young girl after all, so she quickly recovered her composure. With a beaming face, she said, "Brother Hu, that bath pool is simply miraculous. I only soaked in it for a little over two hours, but I feel like my strength has increased by at least several dozen catties. Besides, Tan Yue and Li Qian said that soaking in the pool can strengthen the skin, muscles, tendons, bones, marrow, internal organs, and so on."

Her cultivation was still low, so her perception of her own body was still very weak.

But Tan Yue and Li Qian were in the Bone Refining Realm, so their perception was naturally much clearer.

"Not bad. Soak in it more often in the future; it will be of immense benefit to your strength!"

Hearing the conversation between Chen Hu and Widow Wang, Ruyi and Zhizhi couldn't help but prick up their ears.

Especially after learning about the benefits of soaking in that pool, they wished they could go and take a soak right away.

"Alright, there's no need for you two to serve me here. Go and take a soak as well!"

"Thank you, Brother Hu!"

The two girls bowed and left the study. They then drained the cold water from the pool and continued to heat water to refill it.

Right after they left, Widow Wang turned around and wrapped her arms around Chen Hu's neck. "Brother Hu, I have to go back tomorrow. Can we sleep together tonight?"

"Of course, no problem. Let's go to sleep right now!"

Chen Hu said with a chuckle.

Soon, Chen Hu and Widow Wang returned to the bedroom in the backyard.

Before long, sounds started coming from inside.

Time flew by.

Soon, it was the next morning.

After breakfast, Chen Hu personally escorted Widow Wang and her sister back to their home.

Accompanying them were Tan Yue and Li Qian, who had disguised themselves with makeup.

Since Widow Wang's cultivation was still low, Chen Hu had Tan Yue and Li Qian go along to protect her.

After seeing off Widow Wang, Chen Hu arrived at the Fierce Tiger Gang's General Hall.

He immediately convened a high-level meeting.

Seated high in the gang leader's seat, Chen Hu spoke slowly, "Changqing Ward has only sixty-two streets. Originally, the Iron Blade Sect divided these sixty-two streets into nine major branches. I plan to merge these nine branches into six branches.

Xue Fang was the first to defect to us, and we cannot disappoint him. He can take one of these six branch leader positions.

Next, let's discuss the candidates for the other five branch leader positions!"

Leader Gao Zhan, the Vice Gang Leader, was the first to speak. He said with some helplessness, "Gang Leader, these five branch leaders still have to be selected from the original branch leaders of the Iron Blade Sect. Because we only recently annexed the Venomous Snake Gang, we are already facing a shortage of high-level combat power.

Now that we have also annexed the Iron Blade Sect, even if we want to promote our old brothers, their strength is simply not enough."

Hearing this, everyone agreed that it made sense.

Although Chen Hu had applied the faction buff, the time was still too short, and everyone couldn't make a Breakthrough so quickly.

Chen Hu pondered for a moment. "How about this: gather the other eight branch leaders and have them compete in a martial contest to fight for the five branch leader positions. The same goes for the grand chieftains and minor chieftains; they will also compete in martial contests for their positions."

"What about the four Elders of the Iron Blade Sect?" Elder Song asked.

"Aren't we short of one Elder? Let the four of them compete, and the winner will fill the vacancy, while the other three will serve as your deputies!" Chen Hu said after some thought.

Regarding Chen Hu's arrangements,

no one had any objections.

Soon, the four Elders, nine branch leaders, and various grand and minor chieftains of the former Iron Blade Sect arrived at the Fierce Tiger Gang's General Hall.

Except for Xue Fang,

everyone else felt somewhat uneasy.

At Chen Hu's gesture, Leader Gao Zhan stepped forward and announced, "By order of the Gang Leader, the territory of the former Iron Blade Sect will be integrated into six branches!"

Hearing this, the faces of the nine branch leaders changed.

Leader Gao Zhan continued, "Xue Fang's defection has earned him merit, so he will occupy one branch leader seat. As for the other five branch leaders, they will be decided by a martial contest among the remaining eight of you. The top five will secure the branch leader positions."

While Leader Gao Zhan was announcing the martial contest, Chen Hu also scanned these management members of the former Iron Blade Sect with his Eye of Insight.

The one with the highest talent had reached the Low-grade Black Grade.

The others were all graded, possessing Yellow Grade talent.

Among them, the one with the highest talent was a female branch leader, a middle-aged beauty. Although Chen Hu's lover was a widow, he had no interest in women of this age.

Soon, the martial contest among the eight branch leaders officially began.

Although they were all acquaintances, when it came to competing for the branch leader positions, none of them showed any mercy during the fights.

Quickly,

the top five emerged.

They were Liu Yong, Zhao Xue, Sun Shan, Gu Qi, and Ning Fei.

On the spot, Chen Hu appointed Xue Fang and these five as the new branch leaders of the Fierce Tiger Gang.

As for the three who failed to make the cut, Chen Hu also gave them two choices: first, to take up a post in the caravan; second, to serve as grand chieftains under the six branch leaders.

Two of them chose to serve as grand chieftains.

The other one chose to work in the caravan, because everyone knew that the Fierce Tiger Gang's caravan smuggled illicit salt. Although it was a bit exhausting, the pay was much better than being a grand chieftain.

After the branch leaders finished, it was the selection for the grand and minor chieftains.

Only at the very end was the selection for the Elders.

By the time all the processes were completed, it was almost noon.

Chen Hu remembered that he hadn't opened his cards yet.

So he decided to open the cards before going to eat.

Soon, the resources cards and items cards were all opened.

It was worth mentioning that of the three meat field cards, two yielded exotic beast meat. The only regret was that the ones yielding exotic beast meat were the ordinary meat field card and the Intermediate meat field card; the Advanced meat field card failed to yield any exotic beast meat today.

As for the items cards, a divine weapon card yielded a Medium Grade divine weapon—not a sword, but a Modao.

He opened the intelligence card.

He obtained a new piece of intelligence.

Today's Intelligence: Marquis Weiwu Wei Zhenjiang suspects that the spellcaster who plotted against his son is in Linjiang Prefecture. Consequently, he has secretly dispatched two teams to Linjiang Prefecture to investigate the host. One team will arrive this evening, and the other will arrive tomorrow morning.

Seeing this intelligence, Chen Hu was not surprised.

It would be more of a surprise if he didn't investigate after his own son had been plotted against.

However, the other party was looking for a spellcaster. What did that have to do with him, a Martial Artist? Moreover, he had never even come into contact with Young Marquis Wei Wuji, so there was no way suspicion would fall on him.

On the other hand, he had to tell Dongfang Jun to be careful; it would be best for her not to go out.

After all, she had assassinated Young Marquis Wei Wuji. As long as the people sent by Marquis Weiwu discovered that she was in the Organ Refining Realm, they would most likely suspect her.

Next, Chen Hu opened the identity card.

This time, the identity was quite interesting.

He was actually an Altar Leader of the Yellow Heaven Sect, with his cultivation having reached Late-stage Bone Refining.

Through this Altar Leader's memories, Chen Hu learned that the Yellow Heaven Sect actually had the backing of the former dynasty's royal family.

Furthermore, the Yellow Heaven Sect was already preparing for an uprising.

In a month at most, they would raise the banner of rebellion in Feilong Prefecture.

After processing this Altar Leader's memories,

Chen Hu switched back to his own identity.

He silently took out the enlightenment card.

He targeted the 2.0 version of the "Sheng Tian Technique" and used it.
