Chapter 1146: Chapter 1146: The Number One Master of South Yangtze

South Yangtze, Shanghai City, known as the most flourishing city in Huaxia.

In this coastal European-style mansion, luxury cars continuously gather.

The mansion is located near a wetland park, with a tranquil environment, consisting of three five-story villas, a huge garden and a luxurious swimming pool, showcasing the wealth of the owner.

Today, the villa is manned by bodyguards whose aura differs from ordinary people, clearly indicating they are cultivators.

Having such a large mansion in Shanghai indicates the owner’s extraordinary status.

This is the Shanghai Zhang Family, a long-standing Cultivation Family.

Their business empire spans globally, from real estate to jewelery and IT, their presence is everywhere.

However, online and in common talk, there’s little news about them, only some scattered legends that still exist within special circles.

Better offend King Yama than the Zhang Family.

This saying has long been circulated within the South Yangtze Cultivation World; those who offend the Zhang Family, no matter how powerful, eventually vanish from history.

Some say they originate from Dragon-Tiger Mountain, others say they are a spokesperson for a mysterious heritage in the secular world.

This mysterious heritage might involve the legendary Immortal Islands, rumored to likely be Penglai, Yingzhou, and Fangzhang.

Recently, the much-discussed tribulation at the TV tower is rumored to have been caused by Young Master Zhang Hengyu of the Zhang Family.

He is known as South Profound Senior, with unfathomably high Cultivation Level.

He usually keeps a low profile, barely interacting with others from the Cultivation World.

He just came out of seclusion, currently investigating an event: the death of his brother, Zhang Hengyuan.

A year ago, his brother, Zhang Hengyuan, suddenly disappeared from the Human Realm.

The last place he was seen was in Binhai City.

Nobody knows where he went; a well person, yet till now neither alive nor dead has been seen.

The cars arriving today are all here at the invitation of Zhang Hengyu.

The people in the cars are all varied individuals from South Yangtze, with large Noble Families not attending, only the second and third-tier Cultivator Powers.

Only such people need to form an alliance with the Zhang Family.

Soon, the main hall of the villa was filled with people.

The crowd was buzzing, unsure why Zhang Hengyu had so urgently summoned everyone.

Then, a young man dressed in black Huaxia attire appeared, with clear features and an extremely pale complexion, almost sickly white.

Behind him, followed an old man.

Upon their arrival, the room instantly fell silent.

The young man took his seat in the middle; the crowd around him bowed and showed respect.

The old man standing behind the young man politely addressed the crowd, "Ladies and gentlemen, calling you here suddenly is due to the matter concerning my family’s second young master. Our young master seeks information about a person. As long as you can provide information, our Zhang Family will present a generous gift."

"So that’s it!"

"Who could it be?"

"Someone caught the eye of Young Master Zhang?"

The crowd exchanged looks.

The old man asked, "This person is from Binhai, with the surname Long and the name Fei. He is reportedly very famous in the North Yangtze region. Does anyone here know of him?"

Someone immediately stood up and said, "Heard of him, Binhai’s Long Fei is well-known in the Cultivation World. It’s said that at the Mount Tai sword conference, he unified Huaxia’s major Cultivation Families and at the Mount Hua sword conference, he even slew the ancestor of the Dongying Onmyoji Sect. He’s extremely famous, everyone knows."

Someone yelled, "Old Wang, say something Young Master doesn’t know, everyone knows this!"

"This bit of news and you want a reward from Young Master?"

"Old Wang, I know this too!"

The crowd laughed.

The young man sitting in the main seat raised his hand; the old man beside him immediately said, "Brother, your information counts for something. This Third-Tier Pill is yours!"

He waved his hand and tossed out a white porcelain bottle.

"Third-Tier Pill?"

"Oh my God, isn’t this too generous?"

"Isn’t this something incredibly valuable?"

A crowd of people cried out in envy.

Old Wang, thrilled to the point of fainting, repeatedly thanked Young Master Zhang as he took the bottle.

The old man continued to inquire, "Does anyone else have news?"

The crowd below boiled over, everyone raising their hands and shouting, "I have, I have!"

"I’m from Binhai, I’m familiar with this boy’s ancestors for eight generations!"

"What about being from Binhai? I’ve even seen him with my own eyes!"

"I know him, my brother hangs out with him, I’m extremely familiar with him."

This group, devoid of any bottom line, quickly went mad from the heavy reward.

Under the old man’s loud persuasion, each one of them stood up and spilled everything they knew.

The young man seated above initially listened without a change in expression, but as he continued, his frown deepened.

Towards the end, even his lips began to twitch.

Unexpectedly, in just the short three years he had been in seclusion, such a formidable figure had risen in North Yangtze.

This truly took him by surprise; he wondered to himself, could this person also be a cultivator reborn?

If not for this explanation, how could he have risen so quickly and even come to dominate the Cultivation World of Huaxia?

These people, all had obtained benefits.

The Zhang Family, with great wealth and influence, gave money to those who wanted money, pills to those who wanted pills, and even satisfied those who wanted women.

"Does anyone else have news?"

After distributing the rewards, the old man loudly asked again.

The people present, actually very distant from Long Fei, knew only what was widely known in the Cultivation World.

The real news, actually, was rather scarce.

A young man stood up and said to Old Wang and Zhang Hengyu, "What I know, everyone knows, so I won’t repeat it. What I want to say is, I have a unique treasure, which is related to this Long Fei. I wonder if Young Master Zhang dares to take it?"

Zhang Hengyu raised his eyebrows and asked, "What?"

The young man glanced around.

Zhang Hengyu waved his hand, indicating that the riffraff should leave for a while.

Someone muttered discontentedly, "Isn’t this the Nangong Family that specializes in baiting and battling?"

"Exactly, Nangong Chen, the biggest swindler in the realm, an unprincipled fellow who dares to rob any tomb."

"I heard he has a death feud with Long Fei? His grandfather Nangong Mu and his sister Nangong Jingjing both died at Long Fei’s hands."

"Keep your voice down, this scoundrel is vengeful; be careful not to let him hear you."

After the crowd left, the hall quickly emptied.

Zhang Hengyu gestured with his hand, "You may speak now."

The young man said, "My name is Nangong Chen, a direct descendant of the Mo Family Nangong lineage. Just last night, I returned from Binhai City, and I also acquired a supreme treasure of this world. This item belongs to that Long Fei. I was worrying about where to sell it when fortunately Young Master Zhang showed up."

Zhang Hengyu asked with interest, "What treasure?"

Nangong Chen declared with sparkling eyes, "The Imperial Jade Seal of Qin Emperor, He Shi Jade!"

"What?"

An old man beside him was shocked, then turned to exchange a glance with Zhang Hengyu.

Zhang Hengyu, however, remained composed, with a demeanor used to big scenes, and said, "A mundane object, not worth mentioning. How is this item related to Long Fei?"

Nangong Chen explained, "It’s quite coincidental. Our Nangong family has businesses in Binhai City. Last night, someone approached our family to authenticate this treasure, and inadvertently revealed its origin—it belongs to that Long Fei. I immediately decided, quickly took the treasure, and returned with my clan to Shanghai City. If Young Master Zhang is interested in Long Fei, you can completely use this treasure to lure him here."
