Worry-free Valley.
Ever since the leader of the Wuyou Society led Lai Qingyang, five elders, and twenty-two guardians to attack Wangyue Villa but failed, and both he and Lai Qingyang were killed, the Wuyou Society was indeed in chaos for a while.
The chaos even spread to its old nest, Worry-Free Valley.
But just a few days ago, with the arrival of the new leader of the Worry-Free Association, order was quickly restored in the Worry-Free Valley.
Because although He Buqi is the founder of Wuyou Club and the person with the highest martial arts skills, the core that has kept Wuyou Club running for decades is not him, but the interest chain.
A complex chain of interests involving many minor underworld forces, the Wuyou Society, the Tianle Palace, and Daliang officials and nobles.
The new leader of the Wuyou Club wore a gold and silver mask similar to He Buqi's, but on the day he arrived in Wuyou Valley, he displayed his second-level innate martial arts and told everyone his identity.
His name is Ge Chengying.
Another identity is the third elder of Tianle Palace.
This incident also made clear the affiliation of Tianle Palace to Wuyou Society.
On this day, Aunt Mei, the head manager of Jinyun Commercial Bank, was called in to listen to Ge Chengying's questioning together with the five elders.
"Boss Mei, has the company's business in various places recovered?" Ge Chengying knew very well that the reason for the existence was human trafficking, so he asked directly about this matter when he saw Aunt Mei.
Aunt Mei seemed to be unaffected by the fact that the previous president and vice president were beheaded at the same time. She still had a charming and charming look on her face.
"Please rest assured, Master. Originally, it was just some managers who knew about the relationship between the company and our Worry-Free Society who had wild thoughts after hearing the rumors. Now that they know you will succeed them as Master, they are all working peacefully."
"That's good." Ge Chengying nodded. "On your side, the goods delivered to those officials and nobles must be delivered as agreed, and must not be interrupted. If the master's plan is ruined, not to mention Wuyouhui, even Tianle Palace can't afford it. Do you understand?"
Hearing Ge Chengying mention the master, Aunt Mei couldn't help but look solemn and nodded, "I will not let this matter be affected."
"How is the matter I ordered you to do?" Ge Chengying looked at the five elders again, "Have all the people who fled from the battle at Wangyue Villa been recalled?"
Among the five elders, a gray-haired elder looked at the oldest elder and stood up with difficulty, and said carefully: "Master, in the battle that day, not all of the twenty-two guardians and many backbone members of the association escaped, and some died.
Because those bodies were dealt with by Wangyue Villa, we don’t know which ones are still alive.”
This person is the Grand Elder of the Worry-Free Society, Xu Congmao.
Hearing Xu Congmao's words, Ge Chengying frowned.
Although the people below could not see the change in his expression, they could vaguely sense his anger.
"Let's not talk about the others, how many of the guardians have returned?"
Hearing this, Xu Congmao hesitated and said, "So far, eleven people have returned."
"Only eleven people?" Ge Chengying was really angry. "Usually Wuyou would provide them with good food and drink, let them enjoy the beauties to their heart's content, and even gave them elixirs and martial arts to help them break through the realm of martial arts. In the end, only half of them are loyal?!"
Aunt Mei and the five elders saw this and bowed together, saying, "Master, please calm down."
Then, the second elder Wu Demiao said, "Master, according to what I have learned from the late returnees, they were all worried about the future of our Worry-Free Society, so they returned late. I guess those who have not returned yet are probably because of this."
"What about the future of the Worry-Free Society?" Ge Chengying was also puzzled. "Why? With the protection of my Tianle Palace, are they still afraid of being destroyed along with the Worry-Free Society? If the Worry-Free Society was really in danger of being destroyed, would I rush here to succeed the leader?!"
Hearing this, the five elders remained silent.
In fact, the people below are not only worried about the Wuyou Club, but also the Tianle Palace, which they think may not be able to gain a foothold in the Daliang martial arts world.
Firstly, the identity of the former leader He Buqi was leaked, and the relationship between Tianle Palace and Wuyou Club became very obvious.
Who knows if those righteous martial arts people who have always disliked the Wuyou Society will cause trouble for the Tianle Palace if they cannot find the Wuyou Society's lair?
Secondly, He Buqi and Lai Qingyang were said to have been killed by people from Wuji Dao. One of the women even performed the Invincible Slash that made Su Yan of the Wuji Sword Sect famous in the martial arts world.
Tianle Palace now occupies Kunwu Mountain, and it is obviously related to the destruction of Wuji Dao back then. Who knows whether the people of Wuji Dao will seek revenge on Tianle Palace?
The five elders' seemingly tacit agreement made Ge Chengying furious, and he wanted to beat the five people to death.
Fortunately, Aunt Mei spoke at this time.
She smiled and said, "I say, you are really worrying too much. Behind our Wuyou Club is not only Tianle Palace, but also the master.
We have bribed and controlled so many officials and nobles for our master. Do you think our master will just watch Wuyou Society fall and do nothing?"
Hearing this, the five elders couldn't help but secretly criticize.
We don’t know who the master you are talking about is, so how can we know how powerful he is?
But the five of them were not so worried after all .
Because what Aunt Mei said does make sense.
Ge Chengying knew that although Aunt Mei called him a subordinate on the surface, she was actually sent by the master to manage the human trafficking.
The five elders also knew about this, so when Aunt Mei said this, it did have the effect of stabilizing people's hearts.
He immediately used this as an excuse and said, "Yes, with the support of Tianle Palace and the master behind us, no one in the world dares to destroy Wuyouhui except the three top sects.
As long as these three top sects knew who was behind us, they would never get involved."
Hearing this, the five elders were stunned.
Because these words reveal some information about the mysterious "master" in some way.
Some people with quick minds were already thinking: Why is Ge Chengying so sure that the three top sects will not intervene? Could it be... that the master is from the Daliang royal family? !
It is common knowledge in the martial arts world that the three top sects do not interfere in the royal struggles of Daliang.
That is why the five elders made this guess.
However, if the "master" is really a member of the Daliang royal family, then the Wuyou Society's background is indeed strong enough. Of course, it is also more dangerous. After all, it is likely to be involved in the struggle for imperial power.
But thinking that such a big thing was not something a few small characters like them should worry about, the fifth elder immediately stated that he would do his best to find the guardians and other key thugs who had fled as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, just after the five people expressed their opinions, someone rushed into the Wuji Palace in a panic.
"Master, five elders, something terrible has happened. Someone has broken into Worry-Free Valley!"
Upon hearing this, Ge Chengying and Aunt Mei both looked unhappy.
They had just solemnly assured the five elders that no one would dare to touch the Worry-Free Society, but they didn't expect that not long after they convinced the five people, someone came to their door.
This is not a blow to Wuyou Valley, it's clearly a blow to their faces!
Ge Chengying immediately glared at the man who rushed in and shouted, "How many people are here? How good are your martial arts?"
This person was one of the two guardians guarding Wuyou Valley. Hearing this, he said, "There are about ten of them. Their martial arts skills... I don't know much about them. Before I came back to report, I only saw one person take action. He was about half a step into the innate realm, and he killed the guardian with one move!"
After hearing what this man said, the five elders panicked.
The same is true for Aunt Mei.
Ge Chengying frowned.
As this person said, the people coming are led by a half-step innate person, so it is very likely that there will be innate people following him.
He was the only one in the valley who was at the Innate Realm, and only at the second level. It was not safe to go and meet the enemy.
However, he had only succeeded as the leader of the Wuyou Society for a few days. If he was so scared that he fled without a fight just by hearing that there was a half-step innate among the enemies, I'm afraid that Lu Weiqi would not look at him well when he returned, and even that person would punish him.
Moreover, as the base of the Wuyou Society, Wuyou Valley has some high-quality and even top-quality goods that have been stored for many years and are trained by special people. If we allow the enemy to break through, wouldn’t all the years of hard work be wasted?
With this in mind, and seeing the five elders and Aunt Mei looking at him in panic, Ge Chengying suddenly felt that no one else could do it but him.
He immediately slapped the armrest of the chair and snorted with murderous intent: "I want to see who is so daring as to break into my Worry-Free Valley!"
After saying this, he turned into a shadow and rushed out of the Wuji Palace, flying straight towards the valley entrance...
