At dusk, Shi Chishang stepped into the door of Jinghui Hotel.
Jiaxing has entered a period of rapid development in the entertainment industry in the past two years. Hotels and comprehensive commercial buildings have sprung up one after another. Jinghui Hotel is also one of them. It is a top-notch hotel that integrates accommodation, banquets, KTV, fitness and other major elements. hotel.
When Shi Chishang was still in college, he had come here to work during the winter and summer vacations, but at that time he was working in the kitchen, and he had never been here again after graduation. Unexpectedly, more than a year had passed, and he was attending the meeting this time. Stepping here as a guest, looking back, one can't help but feel emotional.
Standing in the lobby, Shi Chishang sighed silently for a while, then turned left and came to the elevator. Unexpectedly, several people were already standing at the elevator entrance.
Luo Yinxiao, Yu Liang, Fang Sun, An Feiyang, Luoyang and two young men. Except for the latter two, the others are all from Yangshenmen. Shi Chishang had met them before and was not familiar with them, but They also all know each other.
Seeing Shi Chishang, Luoyang's eyes narrowed out of habit, while An Feiyang frowned. Only Luo Yinxiao smiled and nodded to him: "Brother Shi."
"Master Luo." Shi Chishang nodded in return.
"The last time we met was in a hurry and we didn't have time to talk more," Luo Yinxiao said with a smile, "Let me introduce to you, these two are the guardians of our Yangshen Sect, Yu Liang and Fang Sun."
Protector Zuo Yu Liang looks to be about forty or fifty years old, with some white hair hidden in his hair, thick eyebrows and small eyes. He is broad, plump and wealthy, with a gentle smile on his face. He looks as kind and approachable as Maitreya Buddha.
The right protector, Fang Sun, looked a little serious, with knife-like eyebrows. Although he wore a pair of glasses, he still couldn't hide the sharp look in his eyes. His body was burly, and he looked like a steel knife when he stood here.
As for the last two young men, they are both Yu Liang's disciples, Zhang Minchao and Tao Ye.
After meeting them one after another, Shi Chishang smiled and asked, "Do you guys know the origins of the new Dragon Team leader?"
Shaking his head, Luo Yinxiao smiled warmly: "The new team leader came suddenly, and there was no news beforehand. I asked someone to check, and they only found out that he was a member of Longya before."
The dragon group is divided into two parts: the inner and outer parts. The outer part is the branches all over the country, collectively called the Dragon Scale Department, and the inner part is the Beijing headquarters. The minimum person who can enter it is A-level cultivation, and is collectively called the Dragon Tooth Department.
"It seems like it has a lot of background!" Shi Chishang thought about the invitation delivered by courier, and his smile was a bit playful.
Luo Yinxiao saw some clues, but he didn't say anything, but smiled and said nothing.
Speaking of which, the temperaments of Luo Yinxiao and Yu Hualong are quite similar. They are both gentle and elegant, but the latter is strong on the outside and strong on the inside, with an extremely strong and heroic temperament on the inside, while the former is closer to elegance.
A few people chatted for a while, and the elevator had arrived. Everyone stepped in one after another, pressed the button, and soon reached the third floor.
After walking out of the elevator, Shi Chishang and others quickly arrived at the banquet hall where the succession ceremony was held. As soon as he entered, he could already feel waves of momentum coming from all around. He turned around and scanned around, and found many practitioners. Some Wearing fake company nameplates used by the Dragon Group to hide their identities, some are people from other forces.
"Old Shi!" Shi Chishang was observing the surroundings when someone suddenly greeted him not far away. Chen Zuoheng, who was talking to two men, came over with a wine glass and said with a smile, "Are you here too?"
With a grin on his lips, Shi Chishang smiled sadly and said, "I always feel like you're laughing at my low status."
Chen Zuoheng laughed. He hadn't seen him for a long time. There were faint signs of a breakthrough in this group's aura. It seemed that it wouldn't take long for him to break through to the Yuan Shen stage.
Seeing Shi Chishang's searching eyes, Chen Zuoheng asked doubtfully: "What are you looking at?"
"Are you about to break through?" Shi Chishang asked.
Chen Zuoheng chuckled and raised his chin with a proud look on his face: "That's right!"
"Congratulations!" Shi Chishang clasped his fists and congratulated without any "sincerity".
"Okay, stop making trouble, let me tell you something," Chen Zuoheng took a sip of red wine and said, "Our Yanhu Purple Sword Sect and Wudao Group cooperated in mining a vein in Yunnan two years ago, but recently there seems to be some Foreign forces have developed the idea of that mineral vein. I will go there in two days, so you can go with me."
After joining the Yanhu Purple Sword Sect, Shi Chishang also read through the history of the sect and knew that Wudao Group and Yao Hailei had always been an alliance, so it was normal for the Yanhu Purple Sword Sect to cooperate with them.
"Ore vein?" Shi Chishang thought for a while, nodded, "Okay! You inform me the day before departure."
"OK! That's what I've been waiting for!" Chen Zuoheng said with a smile, "I've heard that the ninth level is as powerful as the tenth level, and even more severely damaged the half-step soul, you 'flesh crusher' But it’s famous!”
"'The Flesh Crusher'?" Shi Chishang's eyes twitched and he said speechlessly, "What's the name?"
"This is the name given to you by many people in the cultivation world," Chen Zuoheng said with a bad smile, "and he is also the 'Tao Sect Flesh Shatter'. It's just that few people dare to say the first two words because they are worried about the Tao Sect."
Putting down the wine glass, Chen Zuoheng said: "Think about it for yourself, how many people from the Taoist sect will have an easier time meeting you? Is it true that basically everyone's body will be shattered by you?"
When Shi Chishang thought about it, it was true, but the name was too unpleasant, and there was always a strange feeling that he was getting closer to the flower-picking thief.
At first, Chi Shang thought that the succession ceremony was in the form of a press conference, but after arriving, he discovered that the Dragon Group had two buffet tables on both sides of the banquet hall, filled with all kinds of drinks and meals. The platoon had specially set up seats for media organizations in the cultivation world such as Tianji.com, Jiulang, and Black and White Goose. He almost thought it was a cocktail party.
After grabbing a few desserts and a drink, Shi Chishang and Chen Zuoheng walked to the corner sofa and sat down together, chatting softly.
Not long after, several more people walked in outside the banquet hall. They were Yu Hualong, Yu Ruhai, and Wang Fengyun.
Shi Chishang spoke to Chen Zuoheng, then stood up and went to meet him. When he saw him, Yu Hualong smiled and said, "When I was young."
"Uncle Yu, Uncle Hai, Elder Wang." Shi Chishang greeted them one after another. Yu Ruhai sniffed and snorted: "What are you calling Uncle Hai? Just call me Second Uncle."
Shi Chishang knew that in his heart he was still remembering the trouble he had caused him last year, so he said with a smile: "Second uncle."
Seeing that he was quite good at climbing along the pole, the little anger in Yu Ruihai's heart disappeared in a flash, and he smiled and said, "When are you and Xiaowei going to get married?"
Shi Chishang was startled and said awkwardly: "It's still early!"
Yu Hualong looked at him from the corner of his eyes and said nothing, although he didn't want his daughter to get married so early, but when he saw Shi Chishang seeming to be putting off, he felt a fire surge in his heart and sneered: "How long will it take?" "
Shi Chishang could also see that he was dissatisfied, and he was heartbroken and said in a deep voice: "As long as Senior Sister is willing, tomorrow will be fine."
Under the gaze of the Yu family brothers, the momentum that Shi Chishang had just built up quickly fell away. Finally, he added without embarrassment: "But senior sister is currently in the soul tribulation stage. When she reaches her true form, Expect it."
During the soul calamity period, one must go through the inner demon calamity, and the most taboo is mental turmoil. Shi Chishang’s concerns are reasonable. Yu Hualong’s expression softened a bit, and he nodded: “I won’t get involved in the affairs of young people, as long as you don’t Just let her down.”
While several people were talking, a member of the Dragon Group had already appeared on the stage, holding a microphone and beckoning everyone to take their seats, saying that the succession ceremony was about to begin.
The seats of the Yin Yang Sect and the Yanhu Purple Sword Sect were arranged in the second row on the left. In front of them was the Wuyue Mansion, but the head of the mansion, Wang Pu, did not come. Instead, a middle-aged man with dark skin came, who was introduced by Chen Zuoheng. , only later did Shang find out that this person was Chen Deyang, the elder of Wuyue Mansion.
After everyone took their seats, accompanied by a burst of music, the host of the ceremony came to the back of the stage and started the ceremony with a clear voice.
Naturally, the opening scene at the beginning was full of clichés. Shi Chishang lowered his head and played with his mobile phone for a while, when he suddenly heard "Team Leader Li is invited to take the stage." Then he raised his head and clapped along with everyone else.
Accompanied by the flashes of cameras in the back row, a middle-aged man in a suit walked out from the backstage and quickly walked onto the stage. First he nodded lightly with everyone, and then came to the back of the host stage. , picked up the phone.
"Hello everyone, let me introduce myself first. I am Li Xian, the new leader of the Jiaxing branch of the Dragon Group. As before, I am mainly responsible for managing the cultivation community in our city. I hope you can give me your support."
Shi Chishang listened, frowning slightly, and whispered: "Manage the cultivation world in our city? Does the Dragon Group still have this power?"
"Yes, it depends on the situation," Chen Zuoheng said with a crooked mouth and a chuckle, "When you encounter a place where there are no top sects, it will naturally have to be managed by them, but top sects like the Weapon Refining Sect and the Alchemy Sect, Do you think you will listen to the Dragon Group?"
Shi Chishang suddenly realized that Li Xian was still delivering his succession speech: "... I think many people know that a few years ago, our country experienced a major catastrophe. Countless heroes fell, and the vitality of our country's cultivation world was greatly damaged. Many foreign forces have seen opportunities and have repeatedly provoked our country over the years. Therefore, our Dragon Group has always unswervingly implemented two words, stability!"
As he spoke, Li Xian's eyes slowly swept across the audience, pausing on the left side, with a somewhat unclear meaning in his eyes, and said lightly: "In the past year, several serious incidents have occurred in our country's cultivation world. , three of them involved no less than ten forces and almost led to a large-scale war."
"This is not in line with the current environment of our country's cultivation world, nor is it in line with our Dragon Group's policy of managing the cultivation world. Therefore, I hope that everyone can keep in mind that the stability of the country and the stability of the cultivation world are the core lines of our country's development. In Before we have enough strength, I hope everyone can maintain their love for the country and not start wars at will."
Realizing that Li Xian was staring at him, Shi Chishang felt a surge of anger in his heart, but he thought twice and still did not stand up to question.
Seeing Chi Shang's silence, Li Xian showed some satisfaction on his face and nodded: "Next, I will talk about a few things that Jiaxing Branch will do next. I hope you will cooperate with me."
There are many forces invited to participate in this conference. In addition to the five major sects: Yin Yang Sect, Yanhu Purple Sword Sect, Qian'an Sect, Yang Shen Sect, and Wuyue Mansion, there are also small forces such as Yaxia Sect and Yinyue Sect.
And how many of those who are qualified to participate in the succession ceremony on behalf of their respective forces have no brains?
At this time, many people had heard something in Li Xian's words, but no one said anything, and listened quietly to what Li Xian announced next.
