Chapter 42: Over Sea Hong Sect

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Brother Xi, why are you…” Brother Dong’s face turned black. Brother Xi was an influential assistant serving under The Third Lord of Wei.

“Mr. Chen is The Third Lord’s guest. Why? Have you offended Mr. Chen?” Brother Xi asked with a big frown.

Brother Dong lowered his head and murmured, “Er…”

Compared to The Third Lord of Wei; Brother Dong was so low on the totem pole that The Third Lord of Wei wouldn’t even grace him with an audience. If Chen Fan really was The Third Lord’s guest, Brother Dong was in big trouble.

“I am sorry Mr. Chen. I am so ignorant that I didn’t even recognize Mountain Tai.”

“Remember, if I hear anything unpleasant happening in the Coco bar, I will come to find you.” Chen Fan said thinly.

“Yes, yes. I got it!” Brother Dong felt icy sweat slid down on his back as he cursed his luck in his mind.

However, at this point in time, he scarcely dared to breathe much less protest against Chen Fan.

Seeing Brother Dong had shriveled like a worm, Sister Ding-Ding and Boss Yang were so scared that their legs started to tremble. They didn’t speak a word, fearing to catch Chen Fan’s attention.

Little did they know that Chen Fan didn’t want to waste any more time on these petty grievances. He nodded to Sister Yin and then was through the exist under many incredulous stares.

As soon As Chen Fan left the bar, the crowd boiled over.

“OMG! What did I see? Brother Dong apologized to a high school student?”

“That guy is so bad-ass! I saw him many times working here as a waiter; I never thought that he would have such powerful connections here in the city.”

“No kidding! I had been his coworker for nearly a month now; never did I see that in him.”

Customers and the employees of the bar exchanged their opinion excitedly. They had just witnessed a rare and exhilarating sight of the weak overcoming the strong. A moment ago, Brother Dong was swollen with pride, and a moment later, he was on his knees and pleading for his life.

Brother Dong’s face flushed red as embarrassment and anger roiled inside of him. He gave both Boss Yang and Sister Ding-Ding an accusatory look before he was through the door.

Chen Yin was going to call out to Brother Dong and offer some solace, but she thought better of it. She realized that the power dynamic between the two of them had changed. If Chen Fan really was The Third Lord of Wei’s friend, then she doubted that Brother Dong would ever come to her bar again.

“Xiao Qian, are you sure that is your friend?” Xiao Qian glanced at Jiang Tanqiu suspiciously.

Jiang Tanqiu was taken aback by the development as well.

Sitting beside the two, Senior Qi pulled a taut face as his mind raced.

Being an honored guest of the Third Lord Wei was not a small feat for someone seemingly so ordinary.

So thinking, he glanced at Xiao Qian and Jiang Tanqiu with knotted brows. Senior Qi knew Jiang Tanqiu was also interested in Xiao Qian. However, he had never taken the fledgling seriously.

However, he felt a sense of threat after learning that Jiang Tanqiu had such a powerful friend.

Chen Fan was led into a black Benz, and a few minutes later, they arrived at the Hidden Dragon Villa.

He found a group of people were already there waiting for him at the entrance, among them were the Third Lord of Wei.

He was in a cab the last time he came to his villa, and no one was at the front gate to receive him. However, this time, not only he was in an expensive vehicle, but his host had also rolled out the red carpet for him.

“Master Chen, you are finally here!”

As soon as Chen Fan emerged from the car, he was greeted by the Third Lord of Wei’s ingratiating smile. Another familiar face was behind the Third Lord of Wei: Guo Wei from the Wei Shen Martial Arts School.

Chen Fan greeted them with a warm smile.

The two were flattered by Chen Fan’s friendliness, and their fake smiles softened into that of a sincere welcome.

“Master Chen, please come in.”

Even as Chen Fan walked over the threshold, he asked curiously, “Why is Mr. Guo with the Third Lord?”

Guo Wei bowed slightly and then replied, “I am here to learn the update on Brother Hao’s research on Linbao’s background. Well, the Third Lord just happen to be here. We brief the Third Lord about what had happened at the Lake Heart Island. He was mad at us for not informing him about it as soon as possible, and he insisted on including you in today’s meeting. ”

The Third Lord of Wei chimed in. “No kidding, I blame Xiao Hao! If he had told me about you as soon as possible, I would have met you much earlier.”

“It’s my bad, sorry everyone. I will buy everyone a drink !” Brother Hao confessed.

Greetings over, everyone walked to the banquet table and sat down. Chen Fan looked to Guo Wei and asked.

“Mr. Guo, what’s the update on Linbao?”

Guo Wei nodded, and then said, “Ever since Brother Hao asked me to investigate Linbao, I had to pull some strings from inside of the Xin Yi Sect. In the end, I finally learned something valuable from a sect member who used to run a sect branch overseas.

“Linbao was a lay disciple of the grand master Lei Qianjue from the Oversea Hong Sect.”

“The Oversea Hong Sect, Lei Qianjue?” Chen Fan furrowed his brows.

“I thought the Hong Sect had been disbanded a long time ago?”

“They have disappeared in China, but they are still the number one underground organization overseas.” Guo Wei lamented.

“The friend I was talking to also practiced the Hong Fist. He wanted to open a Martial Arts School overseas, and he learned that he would need the permission of the Hong Sect. Not only that, he later found out that nearly all-powerful leaders in the overseas Chinese community are members of the Hong Sect.”

“Really?” Chen Fan exclaimed incredulously.

“Indeed! My overseas connection also told me that back in the early days, Chinese immigrants were discriminated against by their host country, and therefore, they needed a powerful protector. Hong Sect happened to be the most powerful organization at the time, and everyone sought protection under its wings.” The Third Lord of Wei said as he nodded.

“What is the rank of Lei Qianjue within the Hong Sect?” The Third Lord asked.

Guo Wei smiled wryly and then said, “This is where things get complicated. Lei Qianjue is well respected overseas and was considered one of the very few grandmasters outside of China. I have heard that even the Chairman of the Hong Sect would have to address him as ‘Brother Lei’ respectfully. ”

Everyone’s face darkened once they have heard Guo Wei’s words.

“Is Lei Qianjue really such an admirable figure overseas?” Third Lord of Wei asked incredulously.

He found it inconceivable that a martial artist would achieve such a high social status.

“He is a Transcendent Master; it will make him an admirable person even in China much less in the Chinese community overseas. ” Guo Wei lamented. “I have told the martial artists at the Xin Yi sect about you, and no one would believe me that a sixteen-year-old boy has the power of a transcendent master.

“I wouldn’t have believed it either if I didn’t see it with my own eyes.”

After saying that, Guo Wei gave Chen Fan a respectful nod. Seeing Chen Fan’s aloof and casual expression, a wave of admiration and reverence swept through his body.

Lei Qianjue was not only a Transcendent Master but also had the same level of authority as the chairman of the Hong Sect. On the other hand, although Chen Fan was much younger than Lei Qianjue, he had already attained the same level of prowess as the old man. The achievements of Lei Qianjue spoke loudly of Chen Fan’s stunning feat.

When Zhou Tianhao and the Third Lord of Wei finally realized that Chen Fan and Lei Qianjue were on the same level, their admiration for Chen Fan had grown to a whole new level.

They only knew that Chen Fan was a powerful fighter, but they were oblivious as to exactly how powerful he was.

If Lei Qianjue could garner such respect and authority using his martial arts skills, so could Chen Fan.

After a while, the banquet started. They were presented with many delicacies as well as all kinds of expensive drinks. The dishes didn’t stop coming until midnight, and The Third Lord suggested that they should go to the clubs next.

Chen Fan was not in the mood of clubbing with a group of middle-aged men, so he left for home once he was done eating.

When he got home, he made a phone call to Sister Yin and told her that he would not come to work due to the increasingly heavy load of assignments. Sister Yin knew it was an excuse, but she accepted his resignation without pressing for more answers. After Chen Fan hung up the phone, he heaved a sigh of relief for not needing to explain his relationship with Zhou Tianhao to Sister Yin.

The next day, Xin Zhong wired the forty-five million yuan to Chen Fan’s bank account. By then, Chen Fan’s bank account had swelled to sixty million, with such a strong financial backing, Chen Fan decided that it was time to take a leap forward in his cultivation.

Ever since he was reborn, he had only spent a little over a month on cultivation. He was still three months away from entering the late-stage of the Foundation Establishment Level. Although the Void Mortal Refinement Art was powerful, it required a huge amount of Spirit Qi. Furthermore, as Chen Fan progressed through his cultivation, the Qi required to run the Void Mortal Refinement Art would increase exponentially.

The Spirit Qi around the numinous abode had long since fallen short. Chen Fan was able to maintain his rate of progressing all thanks to the Spirit Gathering Array on the Jade Marrow Talisman.

Therefore, Chen Fan decided to put his money to good use and speed up his cultivation process.

“There are only two feasible methods to speed up the cultivation process; one is to find another Numinous Abode, and the other was to use Spirit Stones and Elixirs.

“I should forget about the elixirs for now, and focus on the first method. ”

“Over the past month, I have traveled all over the city and its suburbs but wasn’t able to locate an area where the Spirit Qi pooled together. I wager that I will have to brave deeper into the mountains in order to find the hidden veins where the Qi flowed. However, even if I can find such a place, it would be so far away from Chu Zhou City that it would be impossible for me to cultivate and go to school at the same time.

“That being said, if I can’t find one in nature, I can create one for myself.”

A confident smile surfaced on Chen Fan’s face.

Many schools of cultivations had their own Spirit Land for the convenience of their disciples. At its core, a Spirit Land was a Spirit Gathering Array on steroids. It could be as small as a few square kilometers or as big as a small galaxy.

The sacred cultivation land of the True Martial Immortal Sect was a huge Celestial Array made up of countless stars and planets.

In order to create a Spirit Land, Chen Fan would have to find a secluded location. The noisy and densely populated area would not do.

“Lucky for me that Mr. Wei had given me a villa high up in the mountain.”

Chen Fan fished out the key to the villa and looked at it thoughtfully.

“I have visited the villa once since I got the key. It was located at the very top of the highest peak of the Yunwu Mountain, at the head of the serpentine mountain range. From there, I could have a bird’s eye view of the Yan Gui lake and the Yun Wu Mountain. I wager that this Villa would cost at least fifty million yuan.

“As such, Mr. Wei really had given me a great present. That being said, I still think my gift for him: the Secret Art of the Wei was better.”

Chen Fan didn’t waste any time as he began to plan his next step.

“If I could cast a large Dharma Array up in the mountain, I should be able to gather the Qi that spreads across the mountain and the lake to the Villa and create a small Grotto-heaven Spirit Land. By then, I should have enough Spirit Qi to last until I reach Ethereal Enlightenment.

“This Dharma Array needs not only to gather Qi but also serve as a defense. I don’t want to be sneak attacked while I am cultivating at home.”

Guo Wei’s warning about Lei Qianjue and Linbao had raised Chen Fan’s guard.

Although Lei Qianjue wouldn’t come after him personally, he could have sent his disciples. Plus, the number of resources from the Hong Sect that was under his disposal should not be taken lightly. Chen Fan was not afraid of vengeful martial artists, but he would be in trouble if those martial artists played nasty and brought modern weapons with them.

Although the Jade Marrow Talisman could provide him some measure of protection, it was no match against high caliber ballistic weapons such as the .357 magnum.

Plus, modern weapons had evolved greatly, and Chen Fan was convinced that there were weapons specially designed for killing Internal Force users.

“Finally, the last piece of the Dharma Array was the Stabilizer, also the most crucial component. I can use the Jade Marrow talisman, but that would mean that I have to walk around without any protection.”

Chen Fan furrowed his brows as he could not find a solution to the problem. However, he reckoned that it would take him a while to build the Dharma Array and therefore, he still had time to think about it.

He decided to let the matter rest for now and worry about it when he has to. Perhaps the answer would turn up by itself.

With newfound determination, Chen Fan carried on.
