Chapter 081: Zhang Yiwen

After hanging up the phone, a cold glint flashed in Chen Xiao’s eyes.
“Those with supernatural abilities can’t do as they please in the mundane world,” Chen Xiao fell deep into thought.
In this mundane world, a world of ordinary people, although those with supernatural powers possess great strength, they are still subject to certain restrictions. Otherwise, Earth would have long been ruled by such beings.
Chen Xiao now intended to take complete control of a faction as his foundation. After all, there were many matters he couldn’t handle under his identity as a person with supernatural powers. In the mundane world, he was just an unremarkable young man.
The Blood Dragon Hall, the Black Tiger Gate, and even the Wind Axe Society were all targets for Chen Xiao. His subordinates included Zhou Hen, Gui Gui, and Mu Mu. He could even summon another divine disciple again. By controlling the supernatural beings behind these factions, he could essentially take control of them all.
Although Chen Xiao currently held the Blood Dragon Token of the Blood Dragon Hall and was nominally a core member, in reality, he was just a high-level enforcer. With the Thousand Souls Domain at his disposal, he became even more restless.
Zhang Yitao, it seemed, hadn’t realized he had invited a wolf into his house.
…
Next, Chen Xiao took out the satellite phone dedicated to the Soul of China and dialed Yu Ye Xiao Chen’s number.
“Chen Xiao, what’s wrong?” Yu Ye Xiao Chen’s voice came through the phone.
“My brother was almost killed by the people from the Black Tiger Gate,” Chen Xiao said slowly. “If I help the Blood Dragon Hall take over the Black Tiger Gate, will those above interfere?”
Last time, Yu Ye Xiao Chen had vaguely hinted that the three major criminal factions in Jinghua City seemed to be tolerated by higher authorities, which was why Chen Xiao sought his advice.
On the other end of the phone, Yu Ye Xiao Chen hesitated for a long time before slowly saying, “The three major criminal factions in Jinghua City are deeply involved in various matters. Not only in Jinghua City, but their influence spans across the entire country of China. Their foundations are extremely strong. It won’t be easy for you to help the Blood Dragon Hall take over the Black Tiger Gate.”
Yu Ye Xiao Chen didn’t mention the attitude of those above but rather explained the complexities involved.
“You mean, as long as I have the ability to do it, they won’t interfere?” Chen Xiao naturally understood the implication.
“Mm, if you have the ability, no one will interfere. Of course, you need to be careful. Behind them are powerful supernatural beings, and few people want to offend them,” Yu Ye Xiao Chen paused before adding, “Also, let me tell you one more thing. The Soul of China is like a pass—allowing its members to use supernatural powers freely in the mundane world. Of course, don’t go too far, or it might upset certain people.”
Chen Xiao’s eyes lit up, and he asked, “Certain people? You mean…”
“The Soul of China, the Heavenly Group. Well, you’ll learn more about these things over time. In any case, be careful. If you need any help, just give a call.” Yu Ye Xiao Chen smiled. “By the way, how’s your brother?”
“Leader, have you forgotten who I am?” Chen Xiao smiled and replied.

“Oh, that’s true. You’re the ultimate healer of our Xuan Group…”
Chen Xiao: “…”
…
Just now, Zhang Yitao said that if Chen Xiao could support the supernatural beings behind Hei Hu Men, they had an 80% chance of taking over Hei Hu Men. Now, Chen Xiao saw it as nothing but a joke.
It seemed that Hei Hu Men was merely a tool for those supernatural beings in the secular world. Once their master was controlled, the tool naturally had to change hands.
But before that, a plan seemed necessary.
What Chen Xiao was doing now was not just about avenging Liu Xu—it was also the beginning of his rise in the secular world and the supernatural realm. Those with a supreme divine identity were destined not to remain in obscurity.
Chen Xiao quickly stepped onto the street and hailed a taxi heading toward the center of Jinghua City, where the headquarters of Xue Long Tang was located.
“Sir, are you going to Bai Long Building? That’s not a good place,” the taxi driver hesitated slightly upon hearing Chen Xiao’s destination.
Bai Long Building was indeed the headquarters of Xue Long Tang in Jinghua City.
“One of my friends lives near Bai Long Building. I’m not going there,” Chen Xiao said with a smile.
Only after hearing Chen Xiao’s reply did the driver relax a bit.
Bai Long Building was nominally the location of a sizable company called Bai Long Company, but in reality, it was just a front for Xue Long Tang.
Chen Xiao, dressed in cheap casual clothes, stepped forward to enter the building.
“Who are you? This isn’t a place you can just come to,” the security guard at the entrance immediately stopped Chen Xiao.
In fact, Chen Xiao only knew that Bai Long Building was the headquarters of Xue Long Tang, but he had never been there before. Last time, Zhang Yitao had only taken him to meet some of the members of his own branch.
Now, dressed in cheap casual clothes and with only slightly paler skin, Chen Xiao looked extremely ordinary. How could the security guard know who he was?
Chen Xiao didn’t care. He raised his left hand, holding the Xue Long Token. As soon as the guard saw it, his expression changed instantly.
With the Xue Long Token, he must be a high-ranking member of Xue Long Tang. As a lowly guard, he certainly couldn’t afford to offend him.
The guard knew when to act wisely. He immediately bowed and invited Chen Xiao inside.
“Sir, may I ask whom are you looking for?” The receptionist, unlike the guard who judged by appearance, asked with a smile.
“Zhang Yitao,” Chen Xiao replied. They had agreed over the phone to meet at Bai Long Building.
After all, Zhang Yitao was just the head of a branch. He had the authority to issue the Xue Long Token, but taking over Hei Hu Men was a matter related to the fate of the entire Xue Long Tang, so he couldn’t make the decision alone. It required a meeting of the higher-ups.
“May I ask if you are Mr. Chen Xiao?” The receptionist seemed to remember something and asked.
“It’s me,” Chen Xiao nodded.
The receptionist nodded and then dialed a phone.
“Manager Zhang, Mr. Chen Xiao has arrived.”
“Okay, ask Chen Xiao to wait. I’ll be there right away,” Zhang Yitao’s voice came through the phone.

In just a moment, a dozen people came down from upstairs. Leading them was not Zhang Yitao, but another middle-aged man. This man was tall, with calloused hands and prominently bulging temples, clearly a trained fighter. Moreover, he bore a striking resemblance to Zhang Yitao.

“Hello, Mr. Chen Xiao. I’m Zhang Yiwen, the general manager of Bailong Company’s Jinghua branch,” he said, extending his right hand toward Chen Xiao.

Being the general manager of Bailong Company’s Jinghua branch meant that Zhang Yiwen was the head of the Blood Dragon Hall in Jinghua, at least on the surface.

Chen Xiao also smiled and extended his right hand, and the two shook hands. The next moment, Zhang Yiwen’s expression changed, and large beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
