“Hey, Chen w.a.n.g. I didn’t think I’d see you here” Gu Qing Shan smiled and greeted him.

Back in Aboul, when the Combatants received an audience with the Bramble Bird Empress, Barry brought Gu Qing Shan and introduced him to his circle of friends, getting acquainted with each of them.

At the time, this man, Chen w.a.n.g was one of them.

Barry was always a boss figure even among the Lord-cla.s.s Combatants, so when he brought a protege to introduce to everyone, of course, no one refused.

As the newcomer, Gu Qing Shan wasn’t at all fl.u.s.tered, plus the fact that his strength was top-notch among his peers, and his base of knowledge made him a fun person to talk to, so he got along well with the group.

This left a good impression of Gu Qing Shan on every Combatant at the time.

And Gu Qing Shan naturally entered Iron Fist Barry’s circle of acquaintances.

The man called Chen w.a.n.g spoke: “I haven’t seen Barry at the casino recently, I heard that he and Kitty followed you on a vacation?”

“Yeah they did, my place doesn’t really have anything that good but the food suits their taste, so they’re happy staying there for now”

Saying that, Gu Qing Shan turned around slightly and gestured with his eyes to Xie Dao Ling for her to not do anything rash.

“They’re giving everyone IOUs again?” Chen w.a.n.g smirked.

“Of course not, I’m paying for everything” Gu Qing Shan patted his chest.

“Ah? Is that right? When are you going to invite me as well then?”

“Ahaha, naturally, the next time when there’s time for a vacation, I’ll definitely invite you as well”

Chen w.a.n.g nodded and complained: “I got summoned as a Referee, so annoying, can’t even play a set without any trouble—— but what are you doing here?”

Gu Qing Shan answered him: “After Barry and Kitty settled in, I was a bit worried for my s.h.i.+fu, so I came to see her”

“Your s.h.i.+fu?”

Chen w.a.n.g glanced around a bit and sharply focused his gaze on Xie Dao Ling.

Gu Qing Shan then introduced him: “That’s right, this is my s.h.i.+fu, Xie Dao Ling——— s.h.i.+fu, this is the ruling Lord of World Layer No.390 to No.666, a Lord-cla.s.s Combatant, as well as our Club’s regular, Mr. Chen w.a.n.g”

Xie Dao Ling put her whip away and clasped her hands: “Nice to meet you”

This time, Chen w.a.n.g also replied her greeting in a respectful manner and spoke amiably: “Excuse me for any uncouth actions just now, my apologies!”

He complained a bit: “Qing Shan, you brat, why didn’t you tell me this beforehand, I even had to prepare some unnecessary things”

He then tapped several points in the void of s.p.a.ce.

After a few moments, countless black shadows that formed thick strings began to manifest all around the audience hall.

Even more terrifyingly, these black strings had attached themselves to Xie Dao Ling and the 8 elders’ limbs and body without any signs or warnings.

Xie Dao Ling and the 8 elders were all shocked to see these eerie glowing black shadows.

Even when they tried to think about it, they couldn’t tell when they attached at all.

As Chen w.a.n.g tapped them, the strings that surrounded Xie Dao Ling detached themselves and were sucked back into his finger without any remains.

While pulling them back, Chen w.a.n.g explained: “I don’t care about those 8 rice pots over there, but your s.h.i.+fu’s technique is a Causality Divine Skill that can cause damage whilst ignoring the difference in power, so I can’t help but take some precautions”

“I’m so sorry, I had caused you unnecessary trouble” Xie Dao Ling apologetically told him.

“Ah, that’s not so, in fact it’s me who caused you trouble”

Chen w.a.n.g continued his explanation, “My strings of despair might leave some lingering power all around this place and yourself for about 1-2 hours”

“During this period, you might have a few gloomy thoughts——- but with a cultivator’s mental fort.i.tude, it shouldn’t be too hard to resist it”

He then turned to Gu Qing Shan and complained in an annoyed tone again: “Why didn’t you show up a bit earlier”

Gu Qing Shan was speechless.

You’re the one who acted cool and only noticed me after I stepped out——— but I’m the one to blame?

Of course he didn’t say that and only smiled: “Regarding the referee matter, how does brother Chen think?”

Chen w.a.n.g fell into thought for a bit and said nothing.

Seeing him a bit troubled, Gu Qing Shan tried following up: “If the cultivation alliance won’t give my s.h.i.+fu the quota, then you can deduct it from the Justice Iron Fist Club”

“That’s also not really appropriate” Chen w.a.n.g sighed.

“Are there any problems?” Gu Qing Shan became serious.

Chen w.a.n.g sighed again and explained: “Today’s matter was mostly because I’m in a hurry to go back to playing cards that I’m not doing my job properly”

Gu Qing Shan was confused.

Chen w.a.n.g continued: “Truthfully speaking, who doesn’t know about the cultivation alliance’s matter? Since your s.h.i.+fu is involved in this, I’ll tell you all about it so that you understand”

He then began: “The cultivation alliance—– finally got the first Dao Lord in dozens of years who had some hope to become a Lord but when the alliance was in danger, he was unanimously voted to guard the frontlines, forced to face countless demonized. Naturally, he couldn’t overturn the situation and instead became the focus of attack, crippling him”

“But the Dao Lord was smart, he picked out a successor then resigned and volunteered to face the demonized army by himself with a suicide attack, this way no one can try anything against his descendants and he gets to escape with his soul”

“So, the Demon Nation was forced back then the alliance voted for a new leader. I thought the new leader would only be a puppet to be used and discarded again, so if they ever met the [Demon King Order] they would be dealt with so horribly that even their soul might be taken away, so I thought I’d kill them right here and give them a chance to reincarnate”

“Who knew… that the new leader would be your s.h.i.+fu”

With these words, the final piece of flimsy tape masking the truth of the cultivation alliance was peeled off as well.

Gu Qing Shan just silently smiled.

It was nothing new in this world.

There have and always will be countless organizations and forces that cover themselves in a pretty coat of paint but are always doing all sort of unsavoury things behind the scenes

Gu Qing Shan spoke: “Thank you for telling me, I will convince my s.h.i.+fu to no longer care about the cultivation alliance’s matters from now on”

Chen w.a.n.g patted him on the shoulder and spoke: “That’s right with you, Barry and Kitty, there is no shortage of places to go in the 900 million World Layers, there’s nothing to miss with this garbage cultivation alliance, truly excellent cultivators have all left them a long time ago”

“Then the matter with my s.h.i.+fu…” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“Don’t tell Barry about this, otherwise my face is too thin to take it” Chen w.a.n.g solemnly told him.

“What about the quota?”

“I’ll just give a few to your s.h.i.+fu—— there’s no need to go through the normal process, I’ll deal with it right now”

Gu Qing Shan hurriedly stopped him: “That’s not really necessary, I know a world fusion quota is very precious, we can’t——-”

“It doesn’t matter” Chen w.a.n.g cut him off: “Just leave this to your brother Chen, or do you think I’m not trustworthy?”

Gu Qing Shan gave up and clasped his fist: “Thank you, brother Chen”

Chen w.a.n.g nodded satisfyingly.

He took out a notebook, opened it and searched to find where Xie Dao Ling’s name and the amount of used quota was written.

“Right here”

Chen w.a.n.g mumbled, took out a pencil and scribbled on that spot:

“Paid for, by Chen w.a.n.g”

Then he signed his name.

“There, that’s done”

He put the notebook away and told Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan silently sighed.

5 world fusion quota—— this should be worth an astronomical amount within the 900 million World Layers.

Who knew he would give them away so easily.

“It must’ve cost brother Chen a lot”

Gu Qing Shan was still a bit concerned.

Xie Dao Ling also understood what happened and clasped his fist to bow: “Thank you for helping me”

“Don’t mind it, I didn’t really lose anything anyways” Chen w.a.n.g spoke as he pointed at the 8 elders who were already scared stiff.

“They’ve done so much shady stuff over all these years and lined their own pockets with so much wealth and treasures that even I can see a few that I like”

“I’ll just get my subordinates to collect all of their wealth and make up for my lost”

“As this matter stands, we are all happy” Chen w.a.n.g grinned.

The 8 leaders were extremely shocked.

——-no matter how much they racked their brains, they couldn’t have possibly thought that their well-crafted plan would turn into such a mess.

The leading old man’s expression turned grim and spoke in a low voice: “World Referee, sir, what do you mean by that? Are you going to arbitrarily invade our world like that?”

“We won’t stand for this, we will appeal!” another old man shouted.

“That’s right, we’re not afraid of you!”

“Sir, you shouldn’t be unreasonable”

They all loudly objected.

Chen w.a.n.g appeared impatient and simply tapped the void of s.p.a.ce behind him without turning around.

“I am Chen w.a.n.g. If I’m in a good mood I’ll listen to what you say; when I’m not I’ll come and kill you, I’m not a reasonable person——- keep that in mind and go get your next lives”

As he said that, the countless black strings entered the bodies of the 8 elders’.

The elders immediately pulled their weapons and attacked the one closest to them.

Without using any spirit energy, as if they already lost their minds, they only knew to kill each other in a frenzy.

The audience hall quickly fell silent again.

The 8 elders were lying on the ground.

They were already dead.
