I Am Overlord

Chapter 1300: Mysterious Envoy

An uninvited visitor had arrived at Tang Zhan's residence. The visitor had a hazy aura around him, making it impossible for anyone to see his real looks. From his aura, it was clear he was a powerful expert. Tang Zhan greeted the visitor respectfully, shocking all who saw how he was behaving. Someone with status as high as the governor of Bloodsin City was actually saluting someone. It was clear the visitor was no ordinary person.

"Did Xiang Yangzhan's son really fuse nine powers?" asked the visitor.

Tang Zhan nodded. "Yes, my son, Tang Longfei, can bear witness to this. Moreover, Xiang Shaoyun had relied on this very fusion to defeat Dugu Qiubai during the competition between the four academies. The information is trustworthy."

The visitor said, "Excellent. After this is over, recruit him into the organization. We need someone this talented to guard over the dominion."

"I'll try my best, but I'm afraid he is as stubborn as his father," said Tang Zhan after some hesitation.

"Hmph. It was because his father refused to join that the Ziling Sect had not received any protection. Make it clear to him. If he's smart, he will know what to do," said the visitor with a snort. "Also, the higher-ups command you to stop helping him if he refuses to join. Just let him be. Be aware that a lot of people are becoming interested in his ability to fuse nine powers." historical

"Envoy, Shaoyun isn't even at the Heaven Battling Realm yet," reminded Tang Zhan.

To join their organization, one had to at least be a Heaven Battling Realm cultivator. He was trying to persuade the visitor to not be too strict toward Xiang Shaoyun.

"I know you want to protect him, but chaos is coming. We need new blood in the organization. With that kid's talent, like Dugu Qiubai, he is qualified to join. You know very well that not just anyone can join us," said the visitor solemnly before leaving noiselessly.

With the visitor's departure, Tang Zhan straightened his back. With a complicated look in his eyes, he sighed inwardly, Hopefully, Shaoyun is not that stubborn.

The mysterious organization behind him was precisely why Tang Zhan could become a Bloodsin City's governor. Only the most powerful organizations were aware of that. Nobody else was aware of the mysterious organization's origin.

...

Among the Darkdevil Sect's group, a sturdy middle-aged man was meeting Devil Concubine. The middle-aged man had a valiant aura. Just by standing there, he gave everyone nearby an incorporeal pressure, as though he was an unassailable mountain.

"Uncle." Devil Concubine saluted the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was none other than Devil Concubine's uncle, Mo Buqun, a Great Saint expert.

"Ji, I heard you found yourself a man. Why hadn't you introduced him to your uncle?" asked Mo Buqun with a genial smile.

"I believe you already know about him. I'll bring him back to the sect and introduce him to Father soon," said Devil Concubine.

"You're indeed worthy of being my niece. You're not afraid to show your love or hate. That kid is really lucky to have a woman like you," said Mo Buqun with a smile. His face turned solemn as he continued, "Since you have acknowledged him, the sect won't interfere. However, that kid seems to be quite a player. Niece, are you sure you can keep him under control?"

"I can't. But if he's someone I can tame, he won't be qualified to be my man. I believe he will handle his affairs well," replied Devil Concubine.

"Fine. So long as you can accept him, nothing matters. After this is over, bring him back to meet your father," said Mo Buqun. "But I heard that the kids from the Nangong Clan and the Gu Sect are not going to give you up. I wonder if that kid can resist the pressure from both of them."

"If they dare try anything against him, they will only embarrass themselves," said Devil Concubine confidently.

...

In the blink of an eye, seven days passed. More and more people returned and submitted their points, causing the ranking to change slightly. Song Tiandao had managed to enter the top-10. With his cultivation level of sixth-stage Soul Foundation Realm, his result shocked many people. He was most definitely a freakishly talented cultivator.

His background was also exposed. He was actually someone from the Song Clan's main branch. Previously, the Yu Clan had intended to marry Yu Caidie into the Song Clan. However, the Di Clan's sudden appearance changed the Yu Clan's mind. After all, they also had other young women of marriageable age. They were going to marry someone else to Song Tiandao instead.

However, Song Tiandao rejected the offer unhesitatingly, placing the Yu Clan in an awkward position. They realized that they might have gotten a tad bit too greedy, so they gave up on the marriage with the Song Clan. Instead, they placed even more focus on their alliance with the Di Clan, hoping to finalize the marriage of Di Mie and Yu Caidie as soon as possible.

During the past seven days, apart from drinking with the Overlord Legion, Xiang Shaoyun had also spent a lot of time chatting with them. Min Rourou, Xia Liuhui, Liang Zhuangmin, Wu Zhijun, and Min Rourou had also returned. Also returning with them was Jiang Qi. When Xiang Shaoyun saw the stiff smile on Jiang Qi's face, he guessed that something bad must have happened to those traveling with her.

Sure enough, he learned from Xia Liuhui that Hu Ruhai joined hands with some other cultivators and went hunting for Jiang Qi. She managed to escape with serious injuries and retreated to the second layer, where she encountered Xia Liuhui's group. They decided to return with her.

Slightly confused, Xiang Shaoyun asked Jiang Qi, "Hu Ruhai isn't too strong. How did he even harm your group?"

"He managed to join a group of experts, which his cousin was part of. They had even humiliated Luo Ying before killing her. If I was any slower, I would have suffered the same fate," said Jiang Qi with grief and indignation. "I will tell the elders. I won't let this slide!"

"Someone like him does not deserve to live," said Xiang Shaoyun. He then looked ahead, and a toying look appeared in his eyes. "What a coincidence. This fellow is quite a fearless one."

Jiang Qi looked over and instantly shouted murderously, "Hu Ruhai, you deserve death!"

The person walking toward them was none other than Hu Ruhai.
