Heaven Slaying Blade

Chapter 146: Calling Out Challenges



Wang Dafa spoke with a face full of guilt, "My dear brother, I have wronged you. I had anticipated what might happen. I shouldn't have given you this invitation. But rest assured, no matter what, I, your elder brother, will protect you today!"

Chu Mo smiled, "If I say I trust you, it means I trust you. Even if I hadn't received your invitation, they would still do what they intend to do. If you really meant to harm me, there are many ways you could have refrained from implicating yourself. Why stage it at your own home? Aren't you afraid of bad luck?"

Wang Dafa, the mature and old businessman, surprisingly found his eyes reddening at these words from Chu Mo. Immediately, he glared coldly at Elder Fu Long and his companions, "This is my home! If you want to act here, I, Wang Dafa, can't stop you! But from then on, it's all over between Wang Dafa and the Azure Dragon Hall! If you think you can bear this responsibility, then go ahead!"

"Why is Elder Wang putting on such airs, not allowing us to take action here. It's simple; you release Chu Mo, and we can act on the street. You are elder Wang, the Azure Dragon Hall's god of wealth. We wouldn't dare to force you to rebel." A cold, wavering voice echoed again in the hall, the demeaning remark at its height.

Then it continued, "Have you all understood Elder Wang's intentions? Don't start anything here, but the moment this little thing steps out of the Wang Family's doorstep, take action immediately. Ah, our Elder Wang is truly a merciful man, who can't bear to see a friend in trouble."

Many in the banquet hall couldn't help but snigger, apparently agreeing with the sentiment.

In their eyes, Wang Dafa was just putting on an act, a performance!

Not letting these people act in his home, even threatening to quit the Azure Dragon Hall ... but who in the audience didn't understand that it's not easy to leave the Azure Dragon Hall?

Quitting just by saying so, wouldn't that be outrageous? Never mind a golden elder, even the lowest-ranking black-iron member who wants to quit would face the ruthless suppression and hunt of the Azure Dragon Hall!

Wang Dafa was fuming, gnashing his teeth and shouting angrily, "You don't believe me, do you? Remember, you forced me to this! If the hall master asks in the future, if you dare, tell him the truth! My words are here! If anything unexpected happens to Chu Mo within three days of leaving my house, I, Wang Dafa, will sever all ties with the Azure Dragon Hall! You don't need to look at me like that, I know what you're thinking. Do you think I'm bluffing and daring not to quit the Azure Dragon Hall? Don't forget, this world is called the Four Symbols Continent, not the Azure Dragon Continent! I, Wang Dafa, may not have much combat power, but this world is never short of strong warriors! But ... there is a shortage of powerful businessmen like myself."

Everyone in the venue suddenly understood Wang Dafa's words. They were not fools.

Normally, the members of the Azure Dragon Hall would not dare to quit easily.

But who is Wang Dafa? He is not only a golden elder but also an extremely rare genius businessman!

He didn't rely on the power of the Azure Dragon Hall to achieve his current status. He had achieved considerable success and then joined the Azure Dragon Hall.

In essence, the Azure Dragon Hall's reliance on Wang Dafa is much stronger than his reliance on them!

There are no immortals in the Four Symbols Continent. The daily affairs of food, drink, and accommodation are of little concern to the great warriors living in the lofty heights. But can anyone of them do without it?

The importance of Wang Dafa to the entire Azure Dragon Hall goes without saying!

Wang Dafa's words just now were very clear. This world is called the Four Symbols Continent, not the Azure Dragon Continent!

In addition to your Azure Dragon Hall, there is also the Vermilion Bird Association, the White Tiger Temple, and the Black Tortoise Palace!

Which power would not want to vie for a talented, wealthy businessman like Wang Dafa?

Don't look at Fu Long's cold derision and contempt for Wang Dafa. If Wang Dafa wants to join Longevity Heaven, he has no right to stop him. Even the head of Longevity Heaven would personally meet him, and the attitude will be far better than Fu Long's!

At that time, Wang Dafa's position in Longevity Heaven will not be inferior to Fu Long!

This is Wang Dafa's worth!

Therefore, Wang Dafa dares to confront these people because if he wanted to let everything go, he wouldn't care about any threats.

Fu Long and his companions looked at Wang Dafa with malicious eyes. Wang Dafa, too, looked back at them, his eyes cold and indifferent.

Even the weak can possess a heart of steel.

Wang Dafa had become quite disappointed with the Azure Dragon Hall. He could not believe that the organization he had faithfully served for many years could treat him this way.

Azure Dragon Hall's desire to claim the inheritance of Piaomiao Palace was understandable. Who wouldn't want such a thing? Wang Dafa himself did!

But as the old saying goes, a gentleman loves money and has a proper way of acquiring it. Wang Dafa might not be a gentleman, but he was a businessman! In a businessman's eyes, everything in this world has a price and is negotiable!

He believed that as long as he could name a price alluring enough to Chu Mo, there might still be room for maneuver in this situation.

Even more so, there was an even simpler solution. That was to send some honest and talented youngsters to study at the royal academy of Piaomiao Palace. Within possibly less than twenty years, they could acquire nearly all the inheritances of Piaomiao Palace in Yanhuang City without shedding a single drop of blood, except for a few core parts.

This was the best strategy!

While there was no profound friendship between Wang Dafa and Chu Mo, Wang Dafa still insisted on never using the worst method to solve a problem where better solutions existed.

Falling out with Chu Mo, in Wang Dafa's opinion, was the worst possible route.

Yet almost everyone in the Azure Dragon Hall had chosen this worst path.

Wang Dafa accompanied Chu Mo out of the banquet hall, escorted him to the main entrance, and said with an apologetic expression, "My dear brother, what I have been able to do for you ends here. Run far and wide within these three days! You can't stay in Yanhuang City any longer. These people will stop at nothing, even if the royal family intervenes, it won't work!"

Chu Mo smiled, looked at Wang Dafa, and responded, "Although you were forced to invite me this time, I don't blame you! Let them come."

Then, Chu Mo looked at Wang Dafa earnestly and said, "However, dear brother, I might ask you for assistance, are you interested?"

"Oh? Tell me, as long as I can manage it!" Wang Dafa's expression became serious.

Chu Mo smiled and shook his head, "Maybe this will happen, maybe it won't. Just regard it as my ramblings, you don't need to take it seriously."

"Alright, go ahead!" Wang Dafa looked at Chu Mo.

Chu Mo said, "If one day the Azure Dragon Hall falls, I hope you'll be there to help."

"Fall...fall..." Wang Dafa's mouth twitched violently. He looked at Chu Mo as though he was a fool, "Are you joking?"

Chu Mo laughed, "Just take it as a joke."

Wang Dafa frowned. It seemed he was considering the possibility of such a situation. But soon after, he shook his head with a bitter smile, "This is impossible. You don't know how intricate the Azure Dragon Hall's connections are. Nearly all the mid-level and high-level sects on the entire Azure Dragon Continent are directly or indirectly related to the Azure Dragon Hall. They would absolutely not allow anything unexpected to happen to it."

Chu Mo smiled and nodded, "Then, dear brother, just take it as me talking in my sleep." As he finished, Chu Mo waved to Wang Dafa, then casually bid him farewell and departed.

Watching Chu Mo's retreating figure, Wang Dafa fell silent for a moment before he suddenly said, "If...if such a day really comes, then, I agree!"

Chu Mo did not turn his head, simply raising his right hand with a thumbs up.
