C1698 A Great Man Has Something to Do

In a quiet little tavern, there weren't many people coming and going. This was a private tavern, and only the familiar customers knew of the existence of this tavern within the God City.

Zhuge Zhi brought Xiang Shaoyun and the others to this small tavern. An old man walked out to receive them.

Xiang Shaoyun made the first move before Zhuge Zhi could say anything, "Are you a member of the Zhuge family?"

Zhuge Zhi caressed his mustache and smiled, "Does Young Master Xiang know of our Zhuge family?"

"I have a brother called Zhuge Zhantian. He is a member of the Zhuge family, he looks a little similar to you," Xiang Shaoyun said.

"Zhan Tian, that brat? "He's my great-grandson," Zhuge Zhi smiled.

Xiang Shaoyun was startled for a moment, "This can't be true, right?"

"Hehe, of course, it's true. However, I never taught that child because I knew that his future accomplishments would be greater than mine, so I let him hone his skills in the family. Now it seems that I was right to let him live!" Zhuge Zhi smiled.

"Why do you say that?" Xiang Shaoyun asked.

"Because he knows you!" Zhuge Zhi said seriously.

Xiang Shaoyun slightly furrowed his brows and said, "If you have anything you want to talk to me about, just say it. I won't easily believe your words just because I'm Zhan Tian's grandfather."

He didn't want to waste time with Zhuge Zhi, he wanted to understand what the opposite party was up to.

Zhuge Zhi did not say anything, but only toasted his wine cup and looked towards the people behind Xiang Shaoyun. It was obvious that he did not want to speak of the matter in front of everyone.

Xiang Shaoyun was quiet for a moment, then waved at the people beside him, "You guys wait for me outside."

Everyone was very clear of Xiang Shaoyun's capabilities, and were not afraid of any accidents happening to Xiang Shaoyun.

When the people behind Xiang Shaoyun had all left, Zhuge Zhi finally said in a serious tone, "Young Master Xiang, don't fight for the position of Young President. Leave the Divine Province immediately and you can keep your life."

Xiang Shaoyun's eyes lit up, "Could it be that you think there is still someone in the Divine Province that dared to harm me?"

"Although the God City is the domain of the Guarding Society, it is not a peaceful place either!" Zhuge Zhi sighed, and then he said, "Young Master Xiang being able to integrate the Nine Great Stars and achieve a battle body that others cannot, proves that Young Master Xiang possesses a destiny that others cannot. However, you are still young, if you were to try to fight for this position of Young President again in a few hundred years, I feel that no one can compare to you, but right now, you are not."

Xiang Shaoyun asked: "Why do you think so?"

Take the matter just now for example, that Ninth Gongzi must be hiding a murderous intent for you, with the strength of the people around you, it's simply impossible to stop him, not to mention there's more than one person who wants your life. Listen to me, immediately retreat, in the future you will have a chance to dominate the four directions. Zhuge Zhi said.

Xiang Shaoyun suddenly laughed, "I understand what you mean, if there is nothing else, I will be leaving first."

Before he had come, Holy Woods Academy Elder Headmaster Jie Feng had told him that he had long put life and death on the line. He would not shrink back because he was afraid of death, and even more so, he would not disappoint the expectations Master had for him.

"Young Master Xiang, do you know that the guild has already selected two Young President s? Other than them, no one else would have the chance to become a Young President!" Zhuge Zhi looked straight into Xiang Shaoyun's eyes, as if he could see some fear in Xiang Shaoyun's eyes.

Xiang Shaoyun raised the alcohol in front of him and said, "Shaoyun thanks sire for the warning, but as a man, if he doesn't do as he pleases, then I will lose the ambition to contend for the position of the world in the future. Therefore, no matter who's in front of me, I will give it my all and only wish to die!"

After he finished speaking, he stood up and poured the wine into his mouth before leaving.

Zhuge Zhi looked at Xiang Shaoyun who was leaving and did not stop him. He squinted his eyes, and that pair of eyes that contained a hint of wisdom shone with a strange light, "What a great man! It seems that Zhan Tian has a better judgment than me!

After Xiang Shaoyun left, he brought his group to a restaurant called "Eastern Wind Pavilion".

After arriving at this place, he directly went to the shopkeeper. After presenting an item to him, the shopkeeper revealed an expression of surprise and then arranged for Xiang Shaoyun to stay there.

"Young Master Xiang, is Lord Lu well?" the shopkeeper asked on the way.

Xiang Shaoyun nodded his head and said, "Elder Lu is doing very well. He should be back before long, right?"

It was precisely Lu Jiang who gave him the keepsake and told him to come to Eastern Wind Pavilion. Lu Jiang was very clear that it was not easy for Xiang Shaoyun to find a safe place inside the God City, and Eastern Wind Pavilion was a place that Lu Jiang was in charge of, so no one would come behave atrociously.2

After Xiang Shaoyun and his group moved in, Xiang Shaoyun asked the shopkeeper about the matters within the God City.

Even though Lu Jiang had told him a lot of things before, including the "Ninth Gongzi" and Zhuge Zhi just now, he knew it all.

The shopkeeper had always told Xiang Shaoyun what happened during this period of time.

When Xiang Shaoyun finished listening, he knew that he was about to face a powerful opponent. Almost all of the Divine Children of the Heaven's Pride had come, and this Young President would be a battle between tigers and dragons.

At the same time, he also knew that the two quasi-Young President were recruiting different people from the world as a way to increase his bargaining chip.

If Xiang Shaoyun wanted to participate in the Young President's competition, he would have to first join the Guarding Society and become a member of it. For this reason, there would be three tests, which would determine his character.

This was because Guarding Society was a power that was fair and notarized, a power that served the entire world. If one's character was bad, how could they work for the Divine Province?

Xiang Shaoyun decided to verify his identity tomorrow. Only after he had passed the test earlier would he be qualified to enter the Young President.

After Xiang Shaoyun let the shopkeeper off, he called everyone over. He gave them a mission, for the sake of letting them clearly understand everything within the God City, this way they would be able to recognize each other.

The others obeyed and left, leaving only Xiang Shaoyun and Huang Baiwu behind in the restaurant.

Huang Baiwu possessed the strength of a sixth stage Regeneration Stage, so he acted as Xiang Shaoyun's personal bodyguard.

When night fell, Xiang Shaoyun was cultivating in his room, he was guarding outside, when suddenly there was a gust of wind.

The restaurant was suddenly surrounded by the fluctuations of Spatial Strength, quietly sealing off the restaurant.

Huang Baiwu immediately sensed it and shouted, "Who is it? Get out here right now!"

Huang Baiwu struck out his palm fiercely towards a certain direction. The power of this palm was no small matter, but after this palm struck out, it was actually engulfed by the power of darkness.

"Hehe, your strength isn't bad. Unfortunately, under our Devouring Array, it's simply not enough!" A sneer sounded.

Soon after, eighteen people walked out of the darkness. Their bodies were wrapped in a thick black aura of death, only revealing pairs of emotionless eyes, giving off the impression that they were cold-blooded people.

In fact, they were indeed normal people, true killers of the dark.
