Chapter 23
Brothers Rise to Power! The Wuji Sect is Enraged, and Grandmaster Assassins are on their
The phone was answered after ringing twice.
"Ran-ge!"
Wang Pangzi's strong voice came through the receiver, though it still sounded a bit weak, but he seemed to be in good spirits.
I was just about to call you!
This private clinic is amazing! And the nurse's outfit... well, let's just say it's hard to describe!
Anyone who didn't know better would think I'd wandered onto the set of "Little Days".
Zhou Ran smiled, and the anger in his heart dissipated considerably.
There aren't many people in this world who can make him smile without any reservations, but Fatty Wang is one of them.
Now that I've achieved great success, I should at least lend a hand to my brothers.
"How are you feeling?"
"It's all fine now!"
The doctor said I have thick skin and all the injuries were superficial, with no bone damage.
As long as I don't do strenuous exercise, I have a great appetite.
Fatty Wang chuckled.
"By the way, Ran-ge, you were... too fierce yesterday!"
Seriously, I'm dreaming about those two kicks you gave me right now, it was so satisfying!
Zhou Ran didn't dwell on the topic.
"Fatty, I need your help."
There was a two-second silence on the other end of the phone, followed by Fatty Wang's serious voice:
"Ran-ge, what is it?"
Who do you want me to chop up?
Or should I take the blame for you?
"If you say a single word, or even frown, I'm no longer your brother."
"What are you thinking? Do you think I'm that kind of person?"
Zhou Ran was somewhat dumbfounded.
"I'm here to bring you to work."
"work?"
Fatty Wang was taken aback.
"Extraordinary Gym is mine now."
Zhou Ran's tone was flat.
"But I can't handle it all by myself, and I don't trust the original team here."
I need someone I can trust to watch this stall for me.
"Holy crap?!"
Fatty Wang let out a scream that could pierce eardrums.
"Ran-ge, did that rich woman buy you the gym?"
That's one of the largest chain stores in Jiangcheng!
How much would that cost?
How did you lick it? Teach me!
"Stop talking nonsense, are you coming or not?"
"Come! You have to come!"
I'll be discharged now!
Fatty Wang was so excited he was incoherent.
"Damn it, that Liu Qiang has given you a hard time before. This time, I'm going to show off in front of him..."
Oh right, you definitely fired him.
"Yes, it's open."
Zhou Ran said,
"You'll be the vice president as soon as you join, with an annual salary of 500,000 yuan and a year-end bonus."
Your task is simple: help me manage the accounts and keep an eye on those people to prevent them from making any underhanded moves.
Furthermore, I have something more important for you to do.
The gym is just a front.
Zhou Ran's real purpose was to use the gym's connections and resources to build his own intelligence network and resource collection channels.
Cultivating immortality requires wealth, companions, methods, and a suitable environment.
He now possesses the skills, but is severely lacking in resources.
To quickly improve one's cultivation level, simply absorbing this Yin energy is not enough; one also needs a large amount of medicinal herbs, ores, and even spiritual objects.
In this degenerate age, these things are often in the hands of powerful and wealthy families and reclusive clans.
Extraordinary Gym, this high-end venue, is the perfect springboard to reach these people.
Although Fatty Wang looks simple and honest, he is actually very thoughtful.
Having spent many years in the electronics market, he knew all sorts of people, making him the perfect person to help him handle these miscellaneous tasks.
"Ran-ge..."
Fatty Wang's voice was choked with emotion.
"Five hundred thousand..."
I've never seen so much money in my life.
"You've given me so much, I'm afraid I won't do a good job."
"What a fucking troll! Stop talking nonsense!" Zhou Ran felt a surge of displeasure.
Fatty Wang sniffed.
"From the day you came to save me all by yourself, my life belongs to you."
"Don't even mention 500,000, I'd go even if it were free."
"Alright, stop being so sentimental, it's disgusting."
Zhou Ran laughed and cursed.
"Pack your things and report for duty tomorrow."
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Ran looked out the window at the gradually darkening sky, his eyes deep and thoughtful.
Now he has power, assets, and helpers.
......
Thousands of miles away.
Deep within the Tianduan Mountains, clouds and mist swirl.
This place is one of the most famous forbidden areas in the Chinese martial arts world, and it is also the headquarters of the Wuji Sect.
Inside an ancient Taoist temple built on a cliff.
An elderly man dressed in a gray Taoist robe, with white hair and beard, was sitting cross-legged on a futon, meditating with his eyes closed.
His breathing was long and deep, and with each inhale and exhale, the surrounding clouds and mist surged, as if an invisible dragon were breathing.
This old man was none other than Mo Yunhai, the second elder of the Wuji Sect.
Sudden.
Mo Yunhai's originally rosy face suddenly turned pale, and then a surge of blood rushed to his head.
puff!
A mouthful of blood spurted out, splattering onto the bluestone floor in front of him, a shocking sight.
Mo Yunhai suddenly opened his eyes, his once cloudy old eyes now filled with terrifying killing intent and rage.
"Who is it?!"
A roar, like a thunderclap, resounded within the Taoist temple.
The terrifying sound wave, mixed with internal energy, shattered the gate of the Taoist temple.
The two disciples guarding the door were so shocked that their eardrums bled, and they knelt on the ground in terror, trembling.
Elder!
What happened?
Mo Yunhai completely ignored them.
He clutched his chest, feeling the severance of that last connection between their souls, his heart bleeding.
That was an important piece he had laid out in Jiangcheng!
That Yin-gathering array was not only for collecting Yang energy to refine evil techniques, but also a key part of consolidating his status as a terrestrial immortal!
He devoted countless efforts to nurturing it for two whole years, and it was about to reach its full potential.
Just now, that formation was violently destroyed!
The evil god statue that served as the core of the formation was also completely destroyed!
"What is that piece of trash Ghost Hand doing?!"
Didn't he send Ghost Hand to guard Jiangcheng?
With that disciple at the peak of internal energy, how could anyone easily destroy the formation?
unless……
The person who took action was far more skilled than Ghost Hand!
"Someone come here!"
Mo Yunhai shouted loudly.
A middle-aged Taoist priest walked quickly closer and knelt down on the ground.
"Master."
Contact Old Ghost immediately!
"Ask him who this fool is, daring to tamper with my formation!"
"Master, while cleaning the altar, I discovered..."
"What did you find?"
Mo Yunhai snorted coldly.
The middle-aged Taoist priest prostrated himself even lower.
"The life-binding paper left by Junior Brother Ghost Hand in the sect was destroyed last night."
boom!
A terrifying aura erupted from Mo Yunhai.
died?
Ghost Hand is dead?
In this secular world where firearms are regulated.
Aside from those Grandmasters of Internal Energy, who could kill Ghost Hand, who is at the peak of Internal Energy?
"Great! Excellent!"
Mo Yunhai laughed in extreme anger, his laughter eerie and terrifying.
"Destroy my formation and kill my beloved disciple."
It seems that our Wuji Sect has been out of the public eye for too long, and the world has forgotten our methods!
"Pass on my orders!"
"Send Xing Lie to Jiangcheng!"
Xing Lie.
The eldest disciple of the younger generation of the Wuji Sect.
He was also Mo Yunhai's most prized disciple.
At only thirty years old, he had already entered the ranks of Grandmasters of Transformation Realm.
He possessed unparalleled martial arts skills, making him invulnerable to swords and spears. His personality was also brutal and bloodthirsty, earning him the fearsome reputation of "Bloody Hand Butcher" in the martial arts world.
"Tell Xing Lie that no matter who the murderer is, no matter what his background is."
Mo Yunhai's eyes were bloodshot as he spoke, enunciating each word clearly:
"I want to live."
"I will extract his soul and burn it like a sky lantern, so that he can neither live nor die!!"
