Chapter 326 Night Talk

"Where did Young Master go?"

"Is he coming back for dinner?"

The people in the great hall looked at each other in dismay, not knowing why Yan Chu had appeared only to vanish without a trace.

Only Cui Yiting seemed lost in thought.

With a mere wave of his hand, he had killed two Celestial Being Experts who had opened their Divine Treasury; such cultivation strength exceeded the understanding of ordinary people.

A moment later, Yan Chu reappeared in the great hall.

Although he had the Magic Sealing Cloak, it could only temporarily hide his aura. After attacking twice, his presence in this world had become even more conspicuous.

If he attacked a few more times, the Magic Sealing Cloak would likely no longer be effective.

"Young Master!"

"Great Hero Yan!" "My Lord!"

Seeing Yan Chu reappear, everyone in the hall crowded around him and bowed excitedly.

"No need for such formalities!" Yan Chu waved his hand.

Looking around, he saw many familiar faces, but even more strangers.

During the time he had been away from Cangzhou Prefecture, many newcomers had joined the World Society, and they all looked at him with a mix of respect and fear.

To see the Vice Leader of the World Society—someone who only existed in rumors—in person gave them a great shock.

"Has anything happened while I was away?"

He walked to the head of the hall and sat down in the main seat without hesitation.

Han Yunlu sat obediently by his side, completely at ease.

Next, Yan Chu inquired about the recent situation of the World Society and Cangzhou Prefecture, gaining a certain understanding of the current situation of the entire world.

Crimson King Zhu Fengtong, the greatest rebel force in the world after Heavenly King Xue, was not only ranked first on the Heavenly Rankings but also had gathered a large number of experts under his command, with several of the nine major Righteous Path Sects being very close to him.

Northern King Dai Wang was suspected of being supported by a branch of the Dao Sect; currently, the relationship between the Dao Sect and the Great Jin Imperial Court was showing signs of cracking.

Righteous King Ding Mu, a Celestial Being Expert, came from the East Sea Sect and was supported by the island masters of the seventy-two islands of the East Sea...

These various rebel kings seemed not far from Cangzhou Prefecture, but in reality, they were not close at all; otherwise, the Crimson King would not have sent people to the World Society to coerce them into joining.

"My Lord, the world is in chaos now. Should we make a move?"

Someone below spoke up, and the others looked moved upon hearing this.

Given the current chaotic situation, the Great Jin Imperial Court was on the verge of collapse; this was the perfect time for them to make their mark.

Everyone had just witnessed Yan Chu's strength.

The two corpses of the Celestial Being Experts were still lying there.

If their World Society also raised the banner of righteousness, they would surely become a rebel force on the same scale as the Crimson King, attracting a large number of experts from the Jianghu to defect to them.

In the future, they might even become new dukes or marquises.

After all, those who could join the World Society mostly had ambition and wanted to use the World Society as a platform to achieve something great and seize enough benefits for themselves and their behind-the-scenes Family.

"We shall discuss this matter later!"

"For now, the World Society will continue to hold Cangzhou Prefecture and keep a low profile! We will discuss it again after the situation changes."

Yan Chu waved his hand, rejecting his subordinate's proposal.

He could not easily attack now, or it would trigger rejection from the world.

His primary goal now was to solve this problem, then arrange everything, and ascend to the Upper Realm.

Everything else had to take a backseat.

He understood the thoughts of the people in the World Society very well.

However, in this world where individual power prevailed over everything, if he really wanted to rule alone, he wouldn't need these people at all. It was the same in Northern Mang; after killing Luan Di Tianye, all the clans and major tribes surrendered and pushed him to the position of Khan.

As long as one had the power to suppress the world, others and other forces would inevitably surrender at the mere sight of him.

Even if one day he truly became the emperor of the Southern Dynasty, these subordinates of his would be nothing more than expendable tools; they could not play any decisive role.

Seeing Yan Chu speak like this, the others naturally couldn't say anything more.

He waved his hand to refine the two corpses below into a few Blood Pills and casually bestowed them upon several Supreme Grandmasters in the hall, leaving the great hall amidst the worshipful and awe-filled gazes of the crowd.

"Old Bai, let me see the treasure pill the Lord bestowed upon you!"

"Bullshit, this is mine, I'm not showing it to anyone!"

Bai Kun held the Blood Pill tightly in his hand, fearing that others might snatch it away; those who had received the rewards were the same.

This was refined from the flesh and blood of a Celestial Being Expert, which to them was more precious than any top-tier medicinal treasure.

Once refined, it could double their cultivation.

Even if they couldn't reach the level of opening the Divine Treasury, they wouldn't be too far off.

The others in the great hall looked on with envy.

However, this was bestowed personally by Yan Chu, so who dared to question anything?

Moreover, those who received the rewards were the strongest Supreme Grandmasters in the World Society, whose cultivation was far above theirs.

"But seeing the Lord in such a hurry, where did he go?"

"Hey! Don't you know the Young Master yet?"

"He has reunited with his wives after a long separation, of course, he needs to comfort them properly!"

"Oh..."

The person who asked looked dazed, his tone dragging out a long tail.

The others also wore expressions of "you know what I mean" and smiled at each other.

Come to think of it, Yan Chu rarely managed the specific affairs of the World Society, acting only as a spiritual totem, and whenever he had time, he stayed in the back hall.

Yan Chu had been away from the World Society for a while, and they had almost forgotten his greatest hobby.

Deserving of punishment! Deserving of punishment!!

Night, the stars were like snow.

Inside the back hall of the World Society, Han Yunlu lay half-reclined in Yan Chu's arms, her gaze somewhat unfocused.

Originally, there were others in the room.

They were all beauties that Han Yunlu had collected for Yan Chu over the years, each with a clean Family background, coming from famous and reputable forces in Cangzhou Prefecture.

In Han Yunlu's view, they were also extraordinary people.

However, in front of Yan Chu, who dared to claim invincibility? Who dared to claim they were undefeated?

It didn't take long before they were helped out one by one by the maids.

Han Yunlu rubbed her cheek against Yan Chu's chest and whispered:

"Why don't you be the Leader?"

"What's wrong?"

"My cultivation is too low, I can't quite suppress these people."

"Has anyone disobeyed you?"

Yan Chu's tone immediately turned cold.

Han Yunlu was someone he had pushed up; whoever dared not to listen to her orders was not taking him seriously.

"No, don't get angry."

Han Yunlu shed the toughness she showed to outsiders, becoming soft and weak, her jade fingers tracing circles on Yan Chu's chest as she said lazily:

"My cultivation is too low after all. Even if others obey on the surface, they are definitely unconvinced in their hearts. I can't blame others."

This was a fact laid out in the open.

Yan Chu's cultivation was becoming more and more profound, and the gap between them was growing. Han Yunlu no longer hoped to be the ruler of the World Society; she only hoped to be the woman behind him, sharing a part of his glory was enough.

She was a smart woman with a very clear understanding of her own position.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been collecting beauties for Yan Chu everywhere.

She just hoped to use this way to tie his heart to her.

"Alright!"

Yan Chu nodded and agreed.

What Han Yunlu said was not unreasonable. Although she was not lacking in cultivation resources, cultivation was a matter that required talent and Comprehension Ability.

Her Comprehension Ability was just so-so; even with more precious resources, she couldn't break through to Supreme Grandmaster in one night and could only proceed step by step.
