A night passed.
In the middle of the morning, Xiao Chen and his group set out again.
Mingyang City, secretly known as Duanmu City.
This city, which is not very famous on the surface, is actually... basically controlled by the Duanmu family.
Speaking of this, the Duanmu family did much better than the Xiao family. They were very successful in controlling Longhai and Mingyang City.
In other words, something happened to the Duanmu family. Otherwise, it would be very easy for the Duanmu family to enter the world.
However, it was precisely because the Duanmu family was too ostentatious that they were targeted, and then... the Long Hai incident happened!
In the afternoon, Xiao Chen and others arrived in Mingyang City and found a hotel to stay in.
"It is said that in Mingyang, the Duanmu family is the heaven."
In the hotel's cafe, Xiao Chen stirred his coffee and spoke to Bai Ye and others.
Since there was no news from Elder Long yet, Xiao Chen was not in a hurry to attack the Duanmu family, but wanted to see if he could gain anything in Mingyang.
As mentioned above, after destroying the Duanmu family this time, all the gains will be his, except for the blessed land.
Of course, it is estimated that there is no control over Yangming City.
The Duanmu family can control Yangming City because they have been entrenched here for so many years, just like the small town of the Xiao family, but... the Duanmu family has done a much better job than the Xiao family!
Xiao Chen guessed that the higher-ups wanted to take control of the Duanmu family in order to take back control of this piece of land...
All under heaven belongs to the king, how can we allow the Duanmu family to complain?
However, control is also divided into black and white. If the white is taken back, what about the black?
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen paused slightly while stirring the coffee, and his eyes lit up.
Maybe... we can ask Longmen to come to Yangming City?
Although Yangming City is not very big, it is not small either.
The most important thing is, by controlling Yangming City, we can develop around it with Yangming City as the center!
Today, Longmen’s development has encountered a bottleneck.
Longhai is so small that it limits the development of Longmen.
Xiao Chen told Huang Xing that they wanted to develop overseas, but developing overseas is not something that can be done in a day or two, it is not that simple.
If we come to Yangming City, it will be much easier. At least... the higher-ups won't object.
"Duanmu City? Oh, is that true? Is it completely controlled by the Duanmu family? An ancient martial arts family controls a city. Speaking of which, their power is really huge."
Bai Ye was surprised, then sneered.
"However, this kind of power will not end well... They don't know who has the final say in this country!"
"The power possessed by the ancient martial arts family is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people."
Hao Jian said slowly.
"Perhaps, ordinary people in Yangming City don't know much about the Duanmu family..."
"Is Jianshan also such a powerful force?"
Bai Ye looked at Hao Jian and asked.
"If that's the case, listen to my advice and ask your seniors to keep a low profile and not touch things that shouldn't be touched... You have to listen to whoever's territory it is!"
"Is it that serious?"
Hao Jian frowned.
"During the war, some ancient martial arts forces also contributed, which was considered as what we promised them at that time..."
"The situation has changed. Ancient martial arts are weak. Can't you see that?"
Bai Ye said this and looked at Xiao Chen.
"No, Brother Chen."
"Ah? What are you talking about?"
Xiao Chen came back to his senses from his thoughts and looked at Bai Ye.
"Brother Chen, what are you thinking about?"
Bai Ye was puzzled. He was just talking, but how come he was distracted in the blink of an eye?
"Nothing, just tell me what you guys were talking about first."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"oh."
Bai Ye repeated what he had just said.
"Brother Chen, does that make sense?"
"Yeah, that makes sense."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"The existence of the Ancient Martial Realm is still somewhat threatening. If it weren't for the Dragon Emperor, they would have already attacked the Ancient Martial Realm, no matter how great the cost!"
"One day, will these forces that control one side really become a thorn in the eyes of the higher-ups?"
Hao Jian was a little worried because his master's sect, Jianshan, was also a powerful force.
"Don't worry too much. The higher-ups... will take some action, but it will be more of a conciliatory strategy."
Xiao Chen thought about the "Leader of the Martial Arts World", which was also a check and balance on the ancient martial arts world.
And he, at least for now, is someone they trust.
Therefore, it is almost a win-win situation for all three parties for him to become the leader of the martial arts world.
It is also a good thing for the ancient martial arts world.
However, it is very difficult to get various forces that are accustomed to freedom to recognize a "leader".
"That's good."
Hao Jian felt relieved.
Since he came out of retirement, some of his ideas have changed.
Especially when following Xiao Chen, the sense of superiority of an ancient martial arts practitioner was greatly weakened.
Many people in the ancient martial arts world really treat ordinary people like ants, and even think they can control their lives.
"The Duanmu family is doomed this time. The world of Yangming City is about to change."
Xiao Chen picked up the coffee and took a sip.
"Xiao Bai, what do you think about me asking Lao Huang to arrange people to take charge of the underground world of Yangming City?"
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Bai Ye was stunned at first, then his eyes focused: "Longmen has taken over?"
"right."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"The underground world must exist. I have a feeling that the underground world here should also be controlled by the Duanmu family... So, we will take their place."
“You can have this.”
Bai Ye nodded.
"Just entering the underground world, the higher-ups will definitely have no objections, after all, we have contributed... Besides, can I ask the Bai family to send people over to develop here? Not to mention eating meat, drinking some soup will be fine."
At the end, Bai Ye was a little excited. The Bai family has now encountered a bottleneck in its development.
It is already very difficult for the seven major families of Longhai to make any major progress due to the various complexities and checks and balances between them.
Bai Ye had thought about going overseas before, but Yangming City is very suitable now, so there is no need to go far away.
Besides, even if there is no improvement, it won’t be a big loss.
"Can."
Xiao Chen looked at Bai Ye and nodded.
The Bai family came here to develop. Not to mention controlling anything, but just developing some business is also fine.
"That's settled."
Bai Ye grinned.
"I can also expand the territory for the Bai family!"
"Tonight, let's go out and take a look at what's going on in Yangming, and then I'll call Huang Xing."
Xiao Chen had also made a decision. He had to wait for news from Elder Long anyway, so he had nothing to do anyway.
"Um."
Bai Ye nodded.
As for Hao Jian and others, they didn't have any ideas at all, nor did they have the ambition to form a force. They thought the current situation was good enough.
After drinking coffee, the group left the hotel, wandered around, and found a restaurant that looked good.
"Sister Fairy, we're planning to go for a walk at night, would you like to come?"
While eating, Xiao Chen looked at Ning Kejun and asked.
"Where are you going?"
Ning Kejun raised his head.
"I want to learn about the underground world, that is, the large entertainment venues. I haven't decided yet."
Xiao Chen thought about it and said.
"Then I won't go. You guys go play."
Ning Kejun shook his head.
"I'm not going either."
Nangong Ling added.
"I'll stay and accompany Sister Ning."
"Okay, then...what about Xixi?"
Xiao Chen looked at Zhuge Qingxi again and asked.
"Me? I want to go out and have some fun. I don't have anything to do in Zhuge Family."
Zhuge Qingxi whispered.
"Haha, let's go and have some fun."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"Yeah, I thought you guys would leave me alone."
Zhuge Qingxi said happily.
"Brother Chen isn't going to pick up girls, why would he not take you with him?"
Bai Ye also smiled.
After hearing Bai Ye's words, Zhuge Qingxi looked at Xiao Chen. Brother Chen, do you still like to pick up young girls?
Xiao Chen noticed Zhuge Qingxi's gaze, turned around and glared at Bai Ye fiercely. This kid... he just said whatever he wanted again!
"Hey, just kidding."
Bai Ye coughed dryly and said awkwardly.
After dinner, Ning Kejun and Nangong Ling went back to the hotel, while Xiao Chen and the others asked around and went to the largest entertainment venue in Yangming City.
“There should be a casino here.”
Bai Ye knew all about this. After taking a quick look, he said to Xiao Chen.
"Brother Chen, how about going to the casino and showing off your power?"
"No, it's meaningless."
Xiao Chen shook his head. Gambling used to be quite fun, but it still required some luck after all.
But now...now he is the 'World Gambling King', as long as he wants to win, he will not lose.
He didn't feel anything at first, but now he is increasingly experiencing the same feeling as Chen Jiuzhi and the others. His gambling skills are too good and he has lost the fun of gambling.
"Too."
Bai Ye used to like playing, but after learning from Chen Jiuzhi, he got very excited and kept winning, but gradually he lost interest.
"Let's go, sit in the bar and ask someone about the situation."
Xiao Chen lit a cigarette and walked inside.
"Brother Chen, didn't you say that the underground world of Yangming City is also controlled by the Duanmu family? If we show up now, will they find us? Or will we alert them?"
Sun Wugong asked.
"Not really. Yangming City is not small. Even if they control the underground world, it is impossible for them not to provide a living for others... So, we should be a little more low-key and it will be fine."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
As they were talking, they arrived at the bar. Because it was still early, there were not many people in the place.
Xiao Chen asked for a good seat, sat there, and looked around.
Zhuge Qingxi sat next to him, with her big eyes, her attention completely focused on Xiao Chen.
She thinks Brother Chen is really handsome.
"Let's ask a waiter later. They might know something."
Bai Ye lights a cigarette.
"I think that the Duanmu family will not be too low-key if they control Yangming... Maybe they will not give food to others and will dominate the market alone."
"That's good too. After Longmen takes over, he can directly control Yangming."
Xiao Chen smiled and didn't care.
He made this decision after arriving in Yangming. It was just a place to do nothing, so he decided to go hunting.
The most important thing is, he felt that since Yangming was the territory of the Duanmu family, the Church of Light... should have quite a few people here.
Compared to hiding in the Duanmu family, the huge Yangming is more suitable for hiding!
