Chapter 309: Chapter 300: Heavenly God Temple Branch

Long Chen initially didn’t want to kill the old man from Heavenly God Temple so soon, but alas, his words were without measure, showing no awareness of being a prisoner at the foot of the victor, seeking his own death, and Long Chen had to send him on his way early.

He turned around, looked at Xia Ling and the others who were staring dumbfounded, and smiled faintly, "What are you all stunned for? Get some people to handle this."

"Don’t... Don’t we need to inform the relevant departments?" Li Yuexin asked somewhat stutteringly.

"No need," Long Chen said. "Matters of the Martial Arts World should be settled within the Martial Arts World. This level of conflict has already surpassed mundane rules. We shouldn’t draw trouble to secular law enforcement—there’s no need for that at the moment." Long Chen said.

"He’s making sense, listen to him." Zhao Churan said.

"Churan, what do you mean by ’him’? Shouldn’t you be calling me ’husband’?" Long Chen teased.

Zhao Churan was slightly startled, apparently not expecting Long Chen to speak to her in that tone.

After snapping out of it, Zhao Churan had only one thought, "You... have you recovered your memory?"

"Not really," Long Chen laughed, "Do I need to have my memory back to be your husband?"

"No, that’s not it." Zhao Churan blushed with a shy smile, "Whether it’s the you from the past or the you now, I love both."

"You guys are really cheesy." Li Yuechan muttered under her breath, and then picked up the phone to notify Dragon Shadow Security to come and handle the situation.

Long Chen stretched languidly, saying, "Let’s go, let’s check out your company."

"What do you mean ’your company’? It’s yours," Xia Ling retorted with a glance at Long Chen. "We’re just employees, working for you, this stinky man, do you understand?"

"Alright, alright, my mistake, then let’s go and check out my home." Long Chen quickly corrected himself.

Though he said so, Long Chen still couldn’t quite believe that such a huge building belonged to him.

...

Half a day later, in Qianzhou, at the top floor of a building in the city center, an angry roar erupted.

"A bunch of useless trash, all of you are rice buckets, rice buckets."

The roar was loud, frightening dozens of people on the floor into trembling fear.

This floor belonged to a company called Heavenly God Biological.

In fact, Heavenly God Biological was just a branch under Heavenly God Temple, established here.

The one who roared was a young man in a black suit.

The young man’s eyes were as sharp as blades, his fists clenched, his presence terrifying.

Seeing that everyone was silent, the youth demanded, "All gone mute? Didn’t you say that plan was foolproof? And now? The experts we sent out, all killed. Xu Fu, come out, those were your men from Rune Dao, you explain."

Xu Fu, the elder named at the front of the crowd, took two steps forward, bowing his head and saying, "Young Master, perhaps this is not such a bad thing. In my opinion, although we sacrificed some experts, it has allowed us to draw out the super expert behind Dragon Shadow Group. With that, we can formulate various targeted policies going forward."

"Pure nonsense," the young man said sternly. "Even if you drew him out, so what? If we think about doing a ’slow-boil the frog’ operation again, it’s undoubtedly a slow suicide. Now anyone can see that Dragon Shadow Group is no simple entity, we can’t continue with random, ineffective shots."

"Please instruct us, Young Master." Xu Fu immediately bowed respectfully.

The young man narrowed his eyes slightly, saying, "Our goal is not the money of Dragon Shadow Group; Heavenly God Temple does not lack money. What we lack is the core secrets of Dragon Shadow Group’s Elixir division.

The Elixir division of Dragon Shadow must have many powerful Elixir Formulas, which have not been made public. That’s where the real treasure lies. If we can obtain those, only then can Heavenly God Temple grow stronger.

Don’t forget our goal, don’t lose sight of it, don’t forget what our original purpose was."

"Young Master, I have never forgotten our original intention," Xu Fu quickly said.

"No, you’ve forgotten, all of you have," the young man said gravely. "You’ve tasted the joy of squandering money in the mortal world, you’ve enjoyed the thrill of doing as you please with money. When you were about to run out of your own funds, you started coveting the vast assets of Dragon Shadow Group, and your goals shifted from simply wanting their Elixir Formulas. You think I can’t see that?"

Hearing the young man’s words, everyone’s expression changed, and they all hurriedly knelt down in unison.

The young man looked down at the crowd and said solemnly, "If you don’t want to be hunted by the Heavenly Punishment Team, you’d best start getting serious from this moment on. Otherwise, I will not spare anyone who is obstinately foolish."

"We swear loyalty to the Young Master until death."

"We swear loyalty to the Young Master until death."

The group of people all quickly pledged their loyalty, no one daring to dissent.

The youth finally nodded in satisfaction and said, "Now that the ultimate figure behind the scenes seems to have emerged, there are two paths we can take. The first is to use Cultivation Methods or Magic Techniques to exchange for the Elixir Formula. After all, without guidance, they also won’t be able to learn cultivation.

The second path is to choose a day to take over the Dragon Shadow Building with the force of thunder, control all the high-level officials, and forcibly snatch the Elixir Formula. However, doing so will inevitably cause major earthquakes in both the Martial Arts World and the Cultivation World, and it will have a bad impact on our Heavenly God Temple, as public opinion will give some old monsters an excuse to put pressure on our Heavenly God Temple.

Therefore, I suggest taking the first path first, and if that fails, then we’ll consider the second, but we mustn’t rush into trying the second path."

"Young Master’s plan is ingenious—I agree."

Xu Fu was the first to express support.

Who else would dare to have an opinion? Even if they did, they would not dare to voice it.

"Xu Fu, what do you think our chances of success are?"

The youth asked Xu Fu.

After thinking for a moment, Xu Fu said, "Using Cultivation Methods and Magic Techniques to exchange has a great chance of success. However, I have a suggestion. We remove the most crucial elements from the Cultivation and Magic Techniques, completely severing their potential for success. Let them learn only the superficial aspects."

"That’s the right suggestion. Then, leave this matter to you to negotiate. If you can’t manage, I will step in."

The youth said.

"I shall do my utmost," Xu Fu said.

The youth nodded in satisfaction, smiled earnestly, and said, "Xu Fu, the Hall Master has allowed us to establish Heavenly God Biological in Qianzhou, which shows his high hopes for us. If we can successfully acquire an Elixir Formula that satisfies the Hall Master, my status will instantly widen the gap with my brothers. At the same time, you and the brothers will be handsomely rewarded. I will request the Hall Master to bestow higher-level Cultivation Methods and Magic Techniques on you all, to help you all reach new heights.

Remember one thing forever—worldly riches and beauty can only provide fleeting joy, they can’t win a lifetime. For us, enhancing our strength far outweighs everything else. With increased strength, our lives will be extended. Enhancing our strength first, then sparing time to enjoy life carefree occasionally—this is the true path."

"Young Master, rest assured, Xu Fu will lead the brothers, toil like dogs and horses, and will not return without success."

Xu Fu said excitedly.

"Whether I can become the true Young Master of the Heavenly God Temple depends on you all. Go take care of it and act as soon as possible. Don’t delay."

The youth gestured with his hand.

"Yes."

Xu Fu took a deep breath, turned around, and signaled a dozen people to leave the company.

...

Meanwhile, at Dragon Shadow Group, Long Chen lay on the sofa in Xia Ling’s office, resting with closed eyes.

After finishing some work, Xia Ling saw that Long Chen was still lying down. She stood up, walked over to him, leaned down gently, pinched Long Chen’s face with a tender smile, and chuckled, "Still sleeping?"

Long Chen opened his eyes slightly and immediately caught sight of an astonishing view.

Xia Ling’s clothing was somewhat loose.

This simple lean forward was anything but simple.

Xia Ling noticed Long Chen’s gaze but didn’t mind at all; on the contrary, she seemed quite happy.

After all, being appreciated by one’s own man is a good thing—why would she mind?

"Do you always dress this way?"

Long Chen asked.

"When you’re here I do, when you’re not, I don’t," Xia Ling said.

"Why?"

"To tempt you," she replied.

Xia Ling bit her lip, blinked her beautiful eyes, revealing a seductive charm that only surfaced in front of Long Chen, undeniably apparent.

Long Chen rolled over and straightened up.

Xia Ling closed her eyes, thinking that Long Chen was going to do something to her.

She was prepared for his approach.

But after waiting for some time, Long Chen made no move.

Xia Ling had no choice but to open her eyes and stare at Long Chen in confusion, "Are you spent?"

Long Chen shook his head but didn’t speak.

Xia Ling gritted her teeth, "Aren’t my hints clear enough? Hurry up and give it some effort, I want to have your children."

"Later."

Left with no alternative, Long Chen could only point behind Xia Ling.

Turning her head to look, Xia Ling instantly froze.
