I Am Supreme Chapter 889 - It Has Begun

Concurrently, the little fatty, who had managed to lose his pursuers, had adopted another look and had found his way to a local sect within the area.

‘G.o.d’s Built.’

As its name suggested, this sect was literally an organization that helped to construct buildings, but ‘G.o.d’s Built’ was an unusual organization that specialized in building dwellings for pract.i.tioners and legendary abodes for immortals.

“I’ve got a huge business deal here, situated in the mountains out of town. Perhaps your sect would be interested in it?”

“How big of a deal?”

“About… let’s see, two-hundred million spiritual jade pieces.”

“Low-tier?”

“What sort of bulls.h.i.+t is this? Are you expecting me to close the deal with top-grade spiritual jade?”

“Cough…”

“Be quick about it, just tell me, deal or no deal? If not, I’ll find someone else.”

“Deal!”

“Well, be quick about it! Here — I’ll give you two million spiritual jade pieces as a deposit. Once you’ve completed the task, I’ll give you the rest of the money without any delay on that very day.”

“Alright.”

“Bring the contract here; any construction and renovation tasks will be completed by you lot. I am only responsible to coordinate and fork out the money!”

“That would indeed be for the best!”

“For the early stages, allocate a thousand men. If you need more in the future, let me know.”

“Hick— that many?”

“A sect! We’re talking about a sect, you know?”

“Oh, oh… understood!”

“Quickly prepare yourselves — you start work at dawn tomorrow. It would be best if the task can be completed in the shortest time possible — we are not stingy on the spiritual jade, and we definitely place priority on the development and delivery of the work!”

“Alright! Deal!”

…

On the third day, s.h.i.+ Wuchen’s deep-rooted healing process came to a close. He gingerly felt each and every part of his body, savoring the feeling of fullness and potency that he craved for so long, almost screaming out of delight and excitement. Suddenly, he noticed puffs of smoke rising towards the skies from afar, and there was a troop of men coming towards them.

Now that he had completely restored himself to his original condition, his deific consciousness was so much stronger than that of Yun Yang. After a bit of concentration as he prodded the situation, he discovered that the incoming group was a band of builders.

Qian Duoduo’s voice could be heard from afar. “Here it is. Wait a bit.”

Yun Yang sensed the commotion and emerged.

“Boss!”

“How did it go?”

“It was successful, extraordinarily successful.”

“That’s great. Here is a sketch that I’ve drafted; have a look. Generally, try your best to follow how these s.p.a.ces are organized — let these men work out the rest of the details. Understand?”

“Understood, understood. It shall be done!”

“Good. Our majordomo here shall oversee the work! You’re responsible for all this now.”

“… how about you?” Suddenly bestowed with so much authority, the little fatty became slightly disoriented, only breaking out of his thoughts after a while.

“Supreme Sword and I are going out to run some errands.” Yun Yang grinned. “Do you want to tag along?”

“Supreme Sword?” The little fatty’s eyes gaped wide.

How did you manage to find a Supreme Sword in such a short time?

Supreme Sword or Supreme Despicable — that was the question!

“That would be me — Supreme Sword of the Residence of Nine Supremes.”

s.h.i.+ Wuchen approached with slow steps. His physique resembled a sharp sword that was driven straight into the skies as his gaze bore into the little fatty’s. The little fatty suddenly felt a sense of uneasiness, finding himself at the verge of escaping, yet he forcefully planted himself firmly on the ground. “It is an honor to meet you, an honor! This humble one before you is Qian Duoduo, the majordomo of the Residence of Nine Supremes — I hereby pay my respects to the Supreme of the Residence.”

s.h.i.+ Wuchen nearly burst out loud with laughter: feeling good about yourself even when you’re just a mere majordomo? Yet, he still nodded his head approvingly. “h.e.l.lo there, majordomo.”

“H-h.e.l.lo, h.e.l.lo,” The little fatty stuttered.

That was because… this man’s gaze was far too sharp, even sharper and more formidable than the many high-level pract.i.tioners that he encountered in the past!

“Work hard, majordomo — the upcoming matters are all upon you.”

…

In just two days, Qian Duoduo thoroughly understood the meaning behind ‘Work hard, majordomo — the upcoming matters are all upon you’.

His own boss, Supreme Cloud, and the newcomer, Supreme Sword, quickly disappeared out of sight, as if they had vanished off the face of the realm. A mountain as humongous as this was now his responsibility as the majordomo.

Food and sanitation of a thousand men, construction materials, the expenditures of everything, the construction drawings, inspections, auditing, and a whole lot of other items.

Every single matter, no matter how big or small, was on his shoulders.

The little fatty was busy to the point where he did not sleep for five consecutive days.

If it was not for the fact that the little fatty also possessed a cultivation base of the Saint Level, he probably would not have been able to deal with it. From all this, he became aware of something.

“Being a majordomo isn’t that fun after all…”

Yet, the job had to be done even if it was not pleasant. Their state of progress had not even reached detailed matters like recruitment — they first had to set up the basics before they could proceed with the next step. The little fatty understood this perfectly — he could only grit his teeth and carry on.

He watched as the parts carved out from the mountain peak were cleaned and tidied to a pristine state.

He watched as troughs were dug, he watched as materials were brought up the mountain, he watched as the foundation of the sect slowly rose from the ground. He kept watching…

Everything seemed to have been born out of nothing — materializing out of their own effort.

In the midst of blood and sweat, an inexplicable sense of pride gradually sprouted within the little fatty’s heart.

This… all of this is ours!

This is our home!

The foundation for our future!

At this current stage, one could conclude without exaggeration; whoever who come knocking with the intent of knocking down this foundation of theirs, the little fatty would be the first to put his life out there to defend it!

A whole month had pa.s.sed, yet Yun Yang and s.h.i.+ Wuchen still did not return; there was not even a single word or two from them.

However, in this one month, something seemed to be stirring in the Donghuai area. Large waves of chaos rippled across the martial world of the Bound of Universe!

Many martial men had already caught wind of the news — two bold bandits had emerged in the Donghuai area.

The modus operandi of these two bandits were completely different from the bandits of the past!

No matter how lawless past bandits usually were, there were certain boundaries that they would not cross. For example, if they encountered goods from larger clans or significant sects and schools, they would not dare to make a move.

The victims they set sight on were usually solo fighters; otherwise, they would usually team up in a group of two to three men to attack weaker fighters.

They would not even dream of making a move on the supplies from sects that possessed Celestial Luck Banners. Sometimes, they would even escort the goods and send them to wherever they had to be. The only thing they feared was to have something happen to the goods in their domain, and be hunted to have the score settled with.

However, these two bandit newcomers were shamelessly bold, doing as they please. They operated mainly at the three-way fork at the foot of Swallow’s Hill — that was where they would unleash their audacious acts without a second thought!

Those who pa.s.sed this area, be it bands, clans, sects… even the disciples of sects that hold Celestial Luck Banners… would not be spared!

Solo fighters or a party of two to three fighters who journeyed across this area would surely suffer a similar fate — there were no exceptions!

Common folk would not be robbed, but as long as a pract.i.tioner made his way through this zone, he would surely be a successful target without any apprehension at all.

“Look at those two scoundrels and their absolutely despicable ways. If it was the subordinate of the Eastern Celestial Court who rode pa.s.s here, they would still have the nerves to attack — they’re shamelessly bold as bra.s.s!”

“Absolutely. I really don’t know where the h.e.l.l did these two crazies came from. They are extremely unforgiving!”

“They’ll surely lose their c.o.c.kiness in a few days time. Didn’t you hear that a few clans have already started closing in on them?”
