Stronger from Earth

The residences at the Sea City Base are built on the mountain, and the villas look exquisite and luxurious, outshining ancient palaces.

Among the villas, the most luxurious one is a dragon-shaped building, which can be seen from all the tall buildings in front. The body of the Flood Dragon coils halfway up the mountain, stretching for a hundred meters, looking almost like a living creature from the outside.

"This building can be seen from every high-rise in front, right? It really stands out," Chen Qingniu said with a sour expression.

Immortal Martial Mountain needs to make its name known, but not with this kind of reputation.

The mere Hall Master of a Sea City Base, with such a luxurious villa, seems eager for the whole world to know. Lacking virtue and yet so ostentatious, it’s truly disgraceful.

"Gentlemen, your accommodations are arranged out front," the middle-aged man leading the way said, hearing Chen Qingniu’s words but not daring to respond.

Chen Qingniu and his group walked in front, while the dozen or so young martial disciples were looking around. As the fourth-generation True Disciples of Immortal Martial Mountain, the sights at the Sea City Base were still quite captivating for the youthful ones.

"Uncle, are all our Martial Arts Halls at Immortal Martial Mountain like this?" Zhou Xiaoqi asked.

This glitzy building is rare at Immortal Martial Mountain. Although it’s somewhat garish, it truly catches the eye.

"No," Chen Qingniu replied irritably. Seeing the Sea City Base built like this truly irked him more and more.

...

After Wang Xuan’s group left, the security captain who had his ears and nose bleeding after being hit by Hongze hurriedly ran towards the dragon-shaped building.

To avoid Wang Xuan and others, he even took a detour halfway.

On the way, he encountered a middle-aged man with a restrained aura.

Zhang Wan stopped Zhu Xin: "Why are you in such a hurry?"

Zhu Xin didn’t want to deal with Zhang Wan, but as the Vice Hall Master, Zhu Xin had to show some respect in terms of status and strength.

"Vice Hall Master Zhang, I have something to discuss with my second uncle." After saying that, Zhu Xin hurried away.

Seeing the blood remaining on Zhu Xin’s ears and nose, Zhang Wan frowned slightly. He knew Zhu Xin’s character, fearing he might have caused some trouble again.

Zhu Xin’s life or death was of no concern to Zhang Wan, but if Zhu Xin used the name of Immortal Martial Combat Hall to harm others or provoke enemies, that would be bad.

"Zhu Fei relied on his brother-in-law, a True Disciple of Immortal Martial, to gain his position as the Chief Hall Master of the Sea City Base. Yet, he is greedy and incompetent, leading the base downhill.

He alone infects the Martial Arts Hall, and if that wasn’t enough, dozens of his relatives all soared to high places, damaging the hall further."

Thinking of this, Zhang Wan felt both anger and helplessness. With the True Disciple of Immortal Martial suppressing them, who could deal with Zhu Fei and his group?

If these people were allowed to control the Sea City Base any longer, the Martial Arts Hall’s reputation would surely be ruined!

"Liu, report to me about what just happened. Who did Zhu Xin have a conflict with?"

...

As Zhu Xin walked into the dragon-shaped building, despite having been there many times, he was still amazed at its extravagance. Not to mention the various treasures, just the floors paved with jade and walls built with gold bricks were breathtaking.

"Hello, young master!"

"Hello, young master!"

Zhu Xin passed through one door after another, with beautiful attendants on either side of each door. The enchanting voices he heard, if not knowing they were his second uncle’s exclusive concubines, would have tempted him to try acquiring them by any means.

"Xin’er, aren’t you on duty? What’s the matter?" Zhu Fei’s voice came along with playful female laughter.

Zhu Xin quickly walked over, with tears falling instantly, "Second Uncle, you must stand up for me!"

He then exaggerated the incident at the front gate, portraying himself as an aggrieved victim and Wang Xuan’s group as bullies.

Halfway through hearing this, Zhu Fei slammed the table, "How dare they! What brat dares to cause trouble in the Immortal Martial Combat Hall, not knowing this is my turf? Not knowing this is the Martial Immortal’s venue?"

Whoever comes must show respect to the Immortal Martial Combat Hall. Do they not know the Martial Arts Hall leans on Immortal Martial Mountain, and the founder of Immortal Martial Mountain is the Martial Immortal?

Moreover, his brother-in-law is a True Disciple of Immortal Martial!

"Rest assured, Second Uncle will uphold justice for you. I want to see who dares to challenge us!" Zhu Fei cursed angrily, his entire body of fat trembling.

At this, he added, "Is it true there are three beauties in that group?"

Zhu Xin smiled obsequiously, "How could I lie to you, Second Uncle?"

But in his heart, he was deeply troubled, realizing that with his uncle eyeing those women, he stood no chance.

...

After entering the villa, Chun Shui and Qiushui got busy, while Hongze and Zhang Han put down their things to join in.

The dozen or so young martial disciples, seeing the senior brothers busy, naturally didn’t just stand idly by and began tidying up their own rooms.

And Wang Xuan, lying on the sofa, closed his eyes, seemingly in deep thought.

Chen Qingniu stepped out of the villa and strolled around the Sea City Base. Whenever he encountered an issue, he made a mental note, considering how many years to sentence Zhu Fei for.

Lin Cheng had data flying before his eyes, remotely controlling various decisions of the Changsheng Group and managing the lab experiments.

At their level, when busy, they are truly busy, but when idle, they are truly free.

To ordinary people, their workload might seem massive, but to them, with their cultivation level, it doesn’t even reach a tenth of their full capacity, quite leisurely.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Someone knocked loudly on the door, making quite a commotion, and when Hongze opened it and glanced, he immediately swiped out with a palm.

"Looking to die?"

Without even looking at the minion lying on the ground, Hongze glanced at Zhu Xin and then fixed his gaze on Hall Master Zhu Fei.

"Such audacity!" Zhu Fei roared, exuding the aura of an Earth Immortal, intending to overwhelm Hongze.

But who was Hongze? A heaven’s favorite who had achieved the strongest luck. An Earth Immortal who reached his status through pills was unworthy of even carrying Hongze’s shoes.

Even though Hongze’s cultivation was only at the Peak of Sky Control.

Moreover, at this moment, a mysterious force surged within him, drastically increasing his power, enough to suppress Zhu Fei.

Hongze took two steps forward, grabbing Zhu Xin with one hand, raising his other hand high before bringing it down hard.

Slap!

Slap!!

Slap!!!

The crisp sound of slapping reached as far as a hundred meters, alerting Zhang Wan and other nearby Vice Hall Masters.

"Such audacity!" Hall Master Zhu Fei roared, "Don’t you know my brother-in-law is a True Disciple of Immortal Martial?"

To strike his nephew without consideration, truly showing no face.

Who doesn’t know his brother-in-law is a True Disciple of Immortal Martial!

At the mention of the True Disciple of Immortal Martial, behind the villa door, a dozen or so young martial disciples poked their heads out in curiosity.

They looked around, eager to know which True Disciple’s brother-in-law it was.

Zhu Fei’s words didn’t concern Hongze in the slightest, as his hand kept landing blows, causing Zhu Fei’s nephew to bleed profusely.

The pill qi infiltrating his body felt like blades slicing through Zhu Xin all over, inducing such intense pain he wanted to scream, but he couldn’t even muster a deep breath.

Witnessing this, how could Zhu Fei tolerate it? His whole body surged with primordial qi, ready to draw his blade and charge.

"Hall Master, Hall Master, don’t attack!"

Vice Hall Master Zhang Wan led several seniors over. They were all Peak Earth Immortal cultivators, knowing Hongze’s group was guest cultivators from Immortal Martial Mountain and afraid that a conflict might erupt between the parties.

"Hall Master, they’re guest cultivators of Immortal Martial Mountain, our own people, don’t attack." Zhang Wan held Zhu Fei’s blade down.

"Let go!" Zhu Fei wasn’t afraid, "What nonsense guest cultivators, my brother-in-law is a True Disciple of Immortal Martial!"

The so-called guest cultivators rely on True Disciples, their status and position being significantly lower.

Zhu Fei kept cursing, frequently mentioning his "brother-in-law" to intimidate Hongze.

"What kind of riffraff dares bully me? If I mention my brother-in-law’s name, you’ll surely kneel in fear!"

He observed Hongze’s expression, convinced that this person would back down.

In the past, anyone who offended him would soon relent when he brought up the True Disciple’s name, compensating with apologies or reimbursements.

After all, the True Disciple of Immortal Martial was destined to become a True Immortal, coursing with talent, backed by masters. Who would dare provoke such a figure?

"Ha, a True Disciple of Immortal Martial? Brother-in-law? You, this pig-like waste!" Hongze chuckled disdainfully, landing another slap.

Feeling he had hit enough, he threw the battered Zhu Xin onto the ground, stepping towards Zhu Fei step by step.

Seeing this, Vice Hall Master Zhang Wan and others exchanged glances, immediately releasing Zhu Fei and retreating to a distance.
