Hua Lao spoke for over ten minutes straight.
Shān Jī patiently listened for over ten minutes.
But the guy showed no signs of stopping…
"I say, Hua Lao," Shān Jī patted his shoulder, interrupting his spiel, "I've decided. From now on, you're the head of our gang's Diplomacy Hall!"
"Brother Jī, isn't that inappropriate?" Hua Lao said sheepishly. "I've just joined the gang and haven't accomplished anything yet, how can I shoulder such a heavy responsibility? I'm happy to be valued by you, Brother Jī, but I still..."
"If I say you can, you can!"
"But Brother Jī, I..."
"Enough, it's settled!"
"Brother Jī, perhaps you could reconsider..."
"During this period, cooperate with Guāng Yī to continue recruiting people. Strive to strengthen our gang as soon as possible!"
After saying this, Shān Jī fled with Xiāng Jiāo Jūn…
Yes, he fled…
The kind of fleeing that didn't want to stay for a second longer!!!
Who could possibly endure this?!
Originally, Shān Jī had thought that if he encountered any promising talents, he would even recommend them to Brother Yè Fán later if they performed well.
But now…
Forget it…
Why bother causing Brother Yè Fán any displeasure…
If Brother isn't happy, then he'll be the one on the chopping block…
This person must never meet Brother in this lifetime!
However, from other aspects, this kid could be considered talented.
Just based on that unstoppable mouth, entrusting him with recruitment is definitely the right move!
And if he disliked someone in the future, he could even consider locking that person and this Hua Lao alone in a dark room!
After leaving, Shān Jī pulled Xiāng Jiāo Jūn and headed to the brothel.
After all, important matters like cultivation couldn't be delayed!
But before they could even call for a ride, they saw several cultivators walking towards them.
There were many pedestrians on the street, so encountering such a situation was normally not unusual.
The reason Shān Jī noticed them was because these people exuded malice.
And this malice was directed straight at them!
Soon, the two parties met.
The people who came were none other than Duān Běi Shān and those few outer disciples of the Lóng Xiāo Palace!
"It's them!" Duān Běi Shān's eyes immediately turned red. "They're the two who were with that woman!"
"The outer disciples aren't blind," the senior disciple among the outer disciples said indifferently, his gaze fixed directly on Shān Jī and Xiāng Jiāo Jūn.
His true qi began to surge as well!
Shān Jī's brows furrowed slightly.
The corners of his mouth also curved upwards.
The current situation was obvious.
Someone was coming to cause trouble, and a big fight was inevitable.
Speaking of which, he hadn't properly fought anyone in a while.
Both Big Brother and Big Sister had said.
Meticulously focusing solely on cultivation was not advisable.
Actual combat was the best way to improve and summarize one's cultivation.
The only regret was that the cultivation of these few people seemed insufficient for a good practice session.
However, before getting into it, Shān Jī decided to ask his good friend for his opinion.
"Brother Jiāo, do you want to go, or should I?"
"I'm not too interested in fighting," Xiāng Jiāo Jūn shook his head. "You go ahead."
As he spoke, Xiāng Jiāo Jūn's eyes remained fixed on Duān Běi Shān and the others.
Although he said that, he had already entered a state of readiness.
If Shān Jī showed any signs of being at a disadvantage, he would rush forward without hesitation!
Even though he genuinely disliked fighting, he was willing to do things he didn't want to do for his good friend.
Perhaps, this was the definition of a good friend.
The outer disciple's true qi suddenly faltered.
The current situation made him feel something was wrong.
As soon as he released his true qi, the surrounding pedestrians had already retreated to watch from afar.
Why were these two guys, who were merely at the Golden Core stage, so calm?
Who gave them such courage???
Although he was usually arrogant, he was also very cautious.
Because he only showed arrogance when facing opponents far inferior to himself.
After all, the absolute difference in strength was there, so he was confident and steady while being arrogant.
But now he couldn't figure out why two Golden Core stage cultivators could be so calm, and what gave them the confidence to be so composed?
Even that arrogant-looking guy was discussing with his companion who would fight?
It was as if they saw him as mere trash to be easily crushed?
When things deviate from the norm, there's bound to be trouble!
At this moment, he hesitated…
Shān Jī and Xiāng Jiāo Jūn were equally puzzled.
After this period of cultivation, they had both advanced to the Void Shattering stage.
Shān Jī was now at the fifth level of Void Shattering, and Xiāng Jiāo Jūn was at the fourth level.
They didn't understand why someone who had just entered the early stage of the Void Shattering realm would dare to target them.
And judging by their expressions, they seemed to be treating them like rookies.
Fine, perhaps the other party had a poor brain, they could tolerate that.
The problem was, you've been posing there for so long, are you going to fight or not?
We're busy, we don't have time to play around with you here!
"Are you guys going to fight or not?" Shān Jī said irritably. "If you're going to fight, hurry up, Brother Jī is busy!"
The onlookers were also getting impatient.
"It's been almost fifteen minutes, why aren't they fighting yet?"
"Exactly, it's too sluggish, it's a waste of my emotions!"
"Being so hesitant is not the style of people from Gé Shān City. Could they be newcomers?"
"I say, are you going to keep eating my spirit melons endlessly? You've eaten three or four already."
"What's wrong with eating a few of your damn watermelons? Are you afraid I can't afford to pay?"
"Who knows."
"Damn it! Are you looking for a fight?"
"Fuck! Are you scared? Let's fight if you're not convinced!"
"Bring it on!"
…
"Crackling!"
Sparks and lightning flew!
Before Shān Jī and his group could even start, the spectators and the spirit melon vendor next to them had already begun fighting!
The citizens of Gé Shān City were just that straightforward.
They acted immediately, without any hesitation!
The outer disciple made up his mind!
Forget it!
Two trash cultivators at the Golden Core stage, they couldn't cause any significant trouble!
Then he circulated his true qi and pointed his index finger at Shān Jī.
The terrifying fluctuations of true qi caused the surrounding onlookers to retreat further.
Then…
A golden flame suddenly appeared before him. By the time he realized it and tried to dodge, it was already too late!
The golden light instantly made contact with his body, and the golden flames surged into the sky!
In an instant, or even less.
This outer disciple of the Lóng Xiāo Palace turned to ashes under the watchful eyes of everyone…
After a long moment, the people around finally snapped back to reality…
Holy crap!
As expected of a powerhouse, too fierce!
I haven't even finished pulling down my pants, and it's already over!
Duān Běi Shān and the others almost peed themselves…
They hadn't even seen how Shān Jī made his move.
They hadn't even sensed any fluctuations of true qi throughout the entire process!
To hell with the Golden Core stage!
They had really kicked a steel plate this time!
Their bodies trembled uncontrollably…
They definitely couldn't win a fight.
But admitting defeat directly seemed too spineless.
Out of their last bit of dignity, they decisively made the most difficult choice!
