In the middle mountain range of Nujiao Island, in the Nujiao Hall halfway up the mountain, the middle and high-level gang members gathered here.
Han Zhao was leaning on the golden chair that symbolized the identity of the gang leader, bored and listening to the people below reporting on their work.
He left all the normal things to Shui Jingfeng and the newly promoted head of the Flying Eagle Hall, Chu Anping.
But I still have to attend the regular meeting at the beginning of every month if I have time.
More than a month ago, he asked Shui Jingfeng to pick up Qi Xuanming to the island with great fanfare. Now I am afraid that the entire Yuanchang Mansion, and even the entire Yunzhou, know that the Nu Jiao Gang has surrendered to the Yuling Guards, relying on the towering tree of the Qi family Big tree.
The condition Qi Xuanming brought was that the Yuling Guards would block the pressure of the Martial Saint-level powerhouses on behalf of the Nu Jiao Gang.
The only requirement is that the Nu Jiao Gang hand over 50% of their income to Yulingwei every year.
The Nujiao Gang defeated the pirates of the Nanzhan Islands and occupied Luofeng Island, a large offshore island that pirates had been operating for decades.
Without the help of the Qi family, any force with a martial saint-level powerhouse could take away Luofeng Island.
Now as long as they can keep the stronghold of Luofeng Island, the Nujiao Gang's income will definitely increase several times in the next few years.
This means that as long as the passenger ships in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River pay protection fees to the Nujiao Gang, they will not only be free from pirates on the Yangtze River, but they will also be able to travel unimpeded in the offshore area.
In the future, most of the water transportation and shipping business on both sides of the Changlin River will be in the hands of the Nujiao Gang.
Although he paid half of the profit, Han Zhao actually got several times more.
When the members of the Nujiao Gang heard the news, they almost couldn't believe it.
Because in their opinion, the Qi family must take away at least 80%, or even 90% of the profit.
As a result, it turned out to be a 50-50 split.
Han Zhao's prestige also increased greatly because of this.
Of course, Qi Xuanming also brought Qi Yuntian an additional condition, which was to require him to enter the top 100 on the Qilin Ranking before the Zhongzhou Trial began.
As long as Han Zhao can get the top ten results in the final trial, the entire Yuling Guard will be the real backer of Han Zhao and the Nujiao Gang, and they will not want any future profits from the Nujiao Gang.
As for future cooperation, everything will have to wait until Han Zhao fulfills his requirements.
Simply put, this is like a betting agreement.
From the current point of view, Han Zhao earned his money through blood.
For almost nothing, he received a great backer who was full of goodwill toward him.
Of course, this goodwill stems from his own value, which Han Zhao knew very well.
"It seems that Qi Xuanming's arrival has caused some changes in the situation in the simulation." Han Zhao looked thoughtful.
According to the previous simulation, he should have reached an agreement with Qi Xuanming first, then the demons from Jiuyou Mansion would cause trouble, and then the Sun-Sun Bow Divine Weapon would appear, and the four great martial saints would take action to smash the divine weapon.
As a result, the order has now changed somewhat.
The magic weapon appeared first, and the demon hasn't come yet.
"You've given me an extra month. If you don't come, you'll really have no chance."
Han Zhao secretly thought that his strength was a little stronger than last month.
Qi Xuanming left behind the "Purgatory Style", the first of the three god-killing styles, and temporarily left the Nu Jiao Gang.
In this month, Han Zhao did a lot of things. He continuously refined various mid-level elixirs.
He also succeeded in refining all the elixirs entrusted to him by helping the middle and high-level people. Then he gave them the middle-grade and low-grade elixirs at a ratio of about 40%, and kept the high-grade elixirs for himself.
It is said that alchemy is free, but keeping part of it for oneself is an established rule among alchemists.
Han Zhao also had to deduct it, otherwise the fact that he had a 95% success rate in refining Qi and Blood Pills would be exposed, which would probably lead to disaster.
"Young Gang Leader, we have recently selected some good talents and are going to bring them to the island for training for a few years before sending them to Luofeng Island. This is the list, please take a look."
After each hall leader finished reporting, Chu Anping took out a roster and presented it with both hands.
When everyone saw Chu Anping's humble appearance, they didn't have the slightest disdain, but were very envious.
Because he recently got a high-grade Qi and Blood Pill refined by the young gang leader's "lucky", he has achieved a breakthrough in strength training, and now he can be regarded as one of the top ten big shots in the Nu Jiao Gang in terms of strength and status.
What's even more exaggerated is that Shui Jingfeng, who had stayed in the realm of two-qi perfection for many years, also made a breakthrough.
Once is a coincidence, if two people break through, it is definitely not a coincidence.
Now everyone is eager to establish a good relationship with the young gang leader and get his important use.
Seeing this, Sizhu took the roster and sent it to Han Zhao.
Han Zhao opened the roster and flipped through it. It contained the names of each person, followed by information such as their origins and origins.
Many of them were descendants of the warriors in the gang, and some were innocent civilians collected from nearby areas, as well as some orphans.
After all, after the expansion of the Nu Jiao Gang's sphere of influence, the requirements for the number of warriors have greatly increased, and a large amount of fresh blood must be injected.
After Han Zhao read it, he folded the roster in his hand and said with a smile: "Hall Master Chu, you did a great job."
"Thank you, young gang leader." Chu Anping beamed.
"But..."
Han Zhao changed the topic.
Chu Anping's expression tightened and he said respectfully: "Please tell me, Young Master."
"You don't need to be nervous. I just think that the ones on the roster with the worst bones are all in the middle and lower grades. Those with the lowest grades should be given some opportunities. Of course, the bones are important, but so are the mind and understanding. It's important." Han Zhao smiled, feeling a bit like a leader who was not looking for trouble.
But he remembered that he was the lowest-ranking person in the past.
Even with systematic help, it is really not easy to get to this point.
Fortunately, I met Lu Yi. After receiving his secret book, he did not look down upon him because he was a low-level person. Instead, he took special care of him.
Otherwise, he would have trouble eating in the first place.
After the realm is improved, understanding is also very important.
Sword techniques like the Three God-Slaying Styles do not have any requirements on the bones, but purely require high understanding and high xinxing.
"This is my subordinate's negligence." Chu Anping said sternly.
"It's okay, I'm just mentioning it in passing. In the future, if you encounter this kind of seedling with good character and understanding, you can bring it to the island and I will test it myself." Han Zhao said thoughtfully.
"Yes!" Chu Anping took the roster from Sizhu and returned to his seat.
After Chu Anping finished his report, it was Shui Jingfeng's turn.
"Young Gang Leader, next is..."
What he held in his hand was the accounts. Because the Nu Jiao Gang relied on the Qi family, their income had increased significantly in the past month and had completely returned to its peak level.
"Huh?" Han Zhao suddenly stood up.
Shui Jingfeng looked at him doubtfully.
Peng!
A loud noise suddenly came from the large iron gate of Nujiao Palace, and a huge fist mark protruded on the iron gate, its shape extremely clear.
Everyone in the venue was startled by the sudden loud noise.
"who?!"
Even if there is a warrior coming forward.
boom! !
"Ah——!" The entire large iron gate collapsed suddenly, and the violent airflow hit the leading martial arts practitioner. His body seemed to be hit by a large truck driving at full speed, and he screamed and flew more than ten meters away.
Han Zhao was sitting on the gang leader's throne, with his right hand bent into a grasp, he took a shot from the air and used the power-absorbing technique to suck in the warrior who was flying backwards.
Immediately after striking out with a palm, Sanyuan Jin hit the man's back through the air, removing the huge force from his body and the air flow around him, causing his body to land firmly on the ground.
"puff!"
As soon as the man landed, he felt a sharp pain in his chest and abdomen, and spurted out a large mouthful of blood.
His face turned pale, and he looked at Han Zhao with a depressed expression, cupping his hands and saying, "Thank you so much, young gang leader!"
If it weren't for Han Zhao's effort, he might have died.
Han Zhao waved his hand at him, and the warrior on the side came up and helped him aside.
Everyone looked towards the gate of Nu Jiao Palace.
I saw a thin, middle-aged man with a white face and a beard standing outside the door. He walked in expressionlessly with his hands behind his back.
His eyes were very strange. The dark irises were less than one-third of those of a normal person, and the whites of his eyes were frightening.
The middle-aged man raised his head slightly, glanced at Han Zhao who was sitting upright, and said in a deep voice, "Are you Han Zhao?"
"Presumptuous! Who are you?! How dare you break into the Wrath Dragon Palace without permission!"
Shui Jingfeng's whole body's strength and true energy surged, and the strong wind brought by it made his loose clothes rustle. He stepped hard and was about to fly forward.
"Huh!" The middle-aged man glanced at Shui Jingfeng, then snorted coldly, his eyes swayed slightly, and his eyes turned pitch black.
The strength and energy around Shui Jingfeng dissipated like bubbles bursting, and he took two steps back.
"You!" He clutched his chest, his face twisted, and he looked like he was having trouble breathing.
He seemed to feel an invisible big hand grasping his heart fiercely, as if his heart had been crushed. It was so real pain.
When other warriors saw such a strange scene, they all stopped and looked horrified.
What kind of skill is this? Defeated the Three Qi Master with a cold snort? !
"Everyone, step back." Han Zhao raised his hand and motioned for everyone to step back. A ball of health-preserving Qi gathered in the palm of his left hand, and with a flick, it sank into Shui Jingfeng's chest.
Shui Jingfeng felt a warmth in his chest, and the uncomfortable feeling quickly subsided.
"Who are you?" Han Zhao looked at the middle-aged man calmly.
[The big demon with perfect seventh-level lines is very powerful. The black membrane around his body contains hallucinogenic Yin energy, and he is full of malice towards you. 】
[You possess the ability in the dream realm. Although you have not yet started, you have super resistance to this type of illusion. 】
A system prompt appears.
"I am the chief commander of Jiuyou Mansion, Jin Wuxin." The middle-aged man said in a calm tone, condescendingly: "Let me ask you, what is Zhu Gangyi..."
"I don't care who you are, just pay attention to your attitude!"
Han Zhao stood up and interrupted him.
Jin Wuxin was stunned, his eyes tightened, and his face showed murderous intent, "How dare you talk to me like this?!"
"Who do you think you are? You broke into the Wrath Dragon Palace without permission and even injured one of my accomplices. If you don't give me a satisfactory explanation today, do you think you can escape unscathed?"
Han Zhao's voice deepened, and he held the scabbard of the sword at his waist with his left hand, and began to accumulate sword energy.
"You want me to give you an explanation?! You don't think that with the support of the Qi family, you can really provoke the Jiuyou Mansion, right? This Yunzhou is not the territory of the Qi family!" Jin Wuxin laughed angrily.
He didn't kill anyone as soon as he came in, he was very restrained.
Unexpectedly, a mere young gang leader of the Nujiao Gang could be so arrogant. Even Shangguan Lie did not dare to speak to him with such an attitude.
The ignorant are truly fearless!
"At least Yunzhou is not the territory of Jiuyou Mansion." Han Zhao said calmly, his sword energy had reached its peak.
"Okay! Very good!" Jin Wuxin's voice was extremely cold, his eyes bulged and turned pitch black, and black scales like fish scales quickly climbed up his facial skin.
"die!"
Jin Wuxin suddenly opened his mouth, and the corners of his mouth were cracked to the base of his ears, revealing a mouthful of fine, sharp teeth.
"Wow~!"
A strange sound like a baby crying came from Jin Wuxin's mouth, and ripples suddenly appeared in the air.
"Ah!" The crowd in the audience covered their ears tightly, their expressions were distorted, and their whole brains were trembling.
Ninety-nine percent of these terrifying sound waves were focused on Han Zhao.
A ferocious smile appeared on Jin Wuxin's face. He wanted this young leader of the Angry Dragon Gang to die in the cruelest illusion.
So what if the Nu Jiao Gang backs the Qi family?
I have offended Jiuyou Mansion, now I can change the young gang leader!
Zheng!
The sound of a knife was not loud, but it seemed to penetrate the terrifying sound waves, shaking Jin Wuxin's heart.
