Chapter 204: Chapter 130: A Single Sentence Triggers a Great Earthquake, Number 0 Asks in Shock: What Are You Doing?
Even though Zhao Li had inherited some powerful Immortal Artifacts in the last few days, he didn’t think he could win against Shen Fei. Shen Fei had over 600 Defense Towers, and when Shen Fei helped him wipe out the monster tide in Ye City, he had only used twenty. The Immortal Emperor was well aware of this.
Coupled with his worries over Ye City’s reconstruction, when he heard about the upcoming global tournament, he had refused immediately. He had no intention of participating whatsoever. Even when the director of the Tourism Management Office headquarters personally invited him, he had absolutely no desire to go. He even went so far as to block several high-level officials from the Tourism Management Office headquarters over it.
But Zhao Li never expected that Brother Chongtian would actually @ him in a post. Seeing this, he agreed without a second thought. After Shen Fei had given him a major city and saved his face, Zhao Li had already decided to repay him generously. He would agree to any of Shen Fei’s requests in an instant.
This guy has even more big secrets! I thought that by agreeing to Shen Fei’s request in a split second, I would give him a lot of face. Shen Fei should be thrilled! And I’d have successfully sucked up to him. If another monster tide attacks the city, I’d have a bit more standing to ask for his help...
But what Zhao Li didn’t expect was that, in less than two seconds, Shen Fei’s reply had vanished. On the new Forum, Shen Fei actually had the authority to retract his own posts. This stunned the Immortal Emperor once again. He knew about Shen Fei’s invincible combat prowess. He knew that anywhere Shen Fei guarded was completely safe. But he never imagined that, besides his invincible combat prowess, he could pull off a move like that on the new Forum.
This is too damn badass! Could it be... that Brother Chongtian is the one behind this new Forum?
A frightening thought instantly surfaced in Zhao Li’s mind. At this thought, he immediately turned his head and ordered the four girlfriends at his side, "Quick! Find me all the intelligence on the new Forum related to the Cyan God!"
These four women had met Shen Fei and knew how powerful he was. They also knew that the capture of Ye City was entirely thanks to Shen Fei. But because of Zhao Li’s presence, and because Shen Fei had specifically told them to keep it a secret, they didn’t dare breathe a word about it. They were also the ones who best understood the reason why Zhao Li was so deferential to Shen Fei.
"Yes, Brother Li!"
"Yes, Brother Li!" frёewebnoѵēl.com
Hearing Zhao Li’s command, the women, who had also just seen the Cyan God’s post disappear, hurried out to make the arrangements.
At that moment, although the buildings in Ye City were only half-finished, the city’s construction was progressing very quickly because both the Immortal Court and the Songhai Tourism Management Office had enthusiastically joined the reconstruction efforts. Moreover, Zhao Li’s four girlfriends held high authority in Ye City and had the power to mobilize many people.
Seeing his girlfriends accept the order and turn to leave, Zhao Li gave another instruction. "Stop! Don’t assign this to anyone else.
"Just the four of you. Investigate it quietly.
"There’s no rush!
"Don’t let the whole city know! That man seems to be someone who prefers to keep a low profile..."
"Alright!"
"Alright!"
The four of them replied respectfully.
Just then, a refined-looking man came running toward Zhao Li’s room. "Mr. Zhao! Mr. Zhao!"
The newcomer was the director of the Songhai Tourism Management Office branch, acting on a directive from headquarters. "Mr. Zhao, thank you for agreeing to participate in the global tournament! I’ve been ordered to come and coordinate with you!"
"Alright." Since he had already agreed in front of so many people and, more importantly, had made a promise to Brother Chongtian, Zhao Li naturally had no intention of backing out.
A global tournament? Bring it on! Let them see the power of us Huaxia Cultivators! This is real Cultivation! Not that imitation! All you specters and sprites, Demon Fiends and Ghosts—get the hell out of my way!

「Qing City Tourism Management Office, Meeting Room」
Sun Yu looked at Shen Fei, his face filled with astonishment. "Bro! But... why?"
The others in the room, due to the timing, didn’t know that Shen Fei had just @’d the Immortal Emperor, Zhao Li, on the Forum. Sun Yu, however, had seen what Shen Fei did. He had been specifically keeping an eye on the Immortal Emperor, hoping he would join the competition so Sun Yu could test the waters himself. Now, he was utterly astonished by his big brother’s relationship with Zhao Li.
Earlier, Zhao Li had posted a sycophantic triple denial and kicked out the Immortal Court member who had slandered the Cyan God. Although that reply was deleted shortly after because it contained the words "Cyan God," Sun Yu had already guessed his big brother must have done something that Zhao Li witnessed. That would explain why Zhao Li was being so "obedient." The events that just transpired further confirmed Sun Yu’s suspicions.
"I’m the one who helped Zhao Li snatch his Neutral City! Keep a low profile! And don’t you go to the global tournament!" Seeing Yu’s excited expression, Shen Fei leaned in and whispered three quick sentences in his ear.
The truth was, his little brother had been far too excited about participating in the New Olympic Games hosted by Country F. Seeing Sun Yu constantly picking a fight with Zhao Li, Shen Fei had guessed the reason and decided to tell him the truth to get him to tone it down.
AAAHHH! ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
As expected, Sun Yu cried out in shock after hearing Shen Fei’s answer. When he saw everyone in the room turn to look at him, he quickly clamped a hand over his mouth.
The astonished Sun Yu leaned close to Shen Fei’s ear, speaking in a hushed, rapid-fire voice. "Bro! The three days you were gone... you were helping Zhao Li snatch a major city? For real? But why? No wonder that bastard Zhao Li hangs on your every word..."
