Chapter 025: Blood Dragon Hall

What Shouhen spoke was not any language on Earth, yet strangely, Chen Xiao could understand it.
Chen Xiao looked at the man in black kneeling on one knee and said, “Get up. When you go out, never call me ‘Lord God.’ Just call me ‘young master.’”
Suddenly, Chen Xiao thought that being called young master by someone from a noble family sounded quite impressive. Under certain psychological influences, he decided to let Shouhen address him that way.
“This… Lord God…” Shouhen’s face showed reluctance. In his mind, Lord God was supreme, and as a divine disciple, he was merely a subject or believer of Lord God. He would never dare to call Lord God “young master.”
“It’s just a title. Besides, his strength is far from that of Lord God. Just call him ‘young master’ for now,” Shui Miao said calmly. “If you call him Lord God now, you’re only harming him.”
“Hmm…” Shouhen lowered his head and thought for a while before saying, “Subject, I see you, young master.”
“Shouhen is actually so obedient,” Shui Miao nodded slightly. By calling himself a subject, Shouhen had unintentionally elevated his own status greatly. After all, even a divine disciple with Shouhen’s strength couldn’t yet become a subject of Lord God.
“Enough wasting time. Come with me and eliminate that guy!” Chen Xiao didn’t waste any more words. As a true Earthling, he knew well what would happen if Catholics encountered God.
Moreover, in this Lord God’s realm, Chen Xiao didn’t want to waste even a second.
Whoosh!
Chen Xiao and Shouhen vanished simultaneously, returning to the real world.
But in the eyes of the man in black, Chen Xiao’s body never moved. Instead, a stern-looking man in black appeared mysteriously beside him. A cold aura instantly enveloped an area of ten meters around them.
The man in black even felt his own spiritual energy starting to stagnate.
“Those who dare offend the young master shall die!”
Two glints of cold light flashed in Shouhen’s eyes. He rushed forward abruptly, pushing gently with his palm straight at the man in black’s chest.
This time, Shouhen used standard Mandarin.
“So strong! Who is this man? Young master, who is this ‘young master’ he’s talking about?”
The man in black’s expression changed wildly as several thoughts flashed through his mind.
“He’s no match. Run!”
Faced with Shouhen, this second-tier martial warrior didn’t even have the courage to confront him. He threw his long black sword at Shouhen in an attempt to stop him.
Bang!
The sword shattered the moment it touched Shouhen’s palm. Shouhen didn’t even slow down, instantly reaching the man in black and slapping him on the back.
Silently, the man in black disappeared into thin air, leaving no trace at all.
The whole process took less than three seconds.
“Where is he?”
It was then that Chen Xiao came back to his senses.
“Those who offended the young master have been reduced to ashes and no longer exist,” Shouhen said. Though cold by nature, he was respectful in front of Chen Xiao.

“Did you kill him?” Chen Xiao felt uneasy. After all, killing was an utterly horrifying act in his eyes, even though the opponent was already dead and there was no need to destroy the body.
“Those who offend the young master deserve death,” Shou Hen bowed and said.
“Never mind.” After thinking for a while, Chen Xiao felt a bit better when he thought of those ghosts in the world of superpowers.
“How strong are you now?” Chen Xiao asked.
“Replying to the young master, my current strength is equivalent to that of a sixth-tier superpower user here. Of course, in the Main God’s Space, or if the young master’s strength increases and the restrictions on me are lifted, a sixth-tier superpower user would be nothing but an ant,” Shou Hen said with extreme arrogance, but then became respectful upon remembering Chen Xiao’s status.
“Uh…” Chen Xiao blinked. “It seems that the strongest in the world of superpowers right now are seventh-tier superpower users… But the Murong family doesn’t seem to be a pure superpower family, so there probably aren’t any seventh-tier superpower users among them…”
“Alright, go back first.” Chen Xiao waved his hand, sending Shou Hen back to the Main God’s Space.
Shou Hen’s existence relied on the time Chen Xiao spent in the Main God’s Space. To Chen Xiao, this time was far more precious than gold—every moment was invaluable, making it perfect for such use.
“Good thing that dark-clothed man appeared out of nowhere. That way, I can just deny it if things go wrong.”
Chen Xiao comforted himself as he walked out of this deserted alley.
“Hey, should I go to the Superpower Association to investigate the Murong family?”
“No way. If they have superpower users in their family, it means they have a solid foundation in the world of superpowers. They’re definitely stronger than me, a newbie. Going there would be like sending a lamb into the tiger’s den.”
“Besides, it took them less than two hours to find me. I can’t afford to anger such people. I originally planned to have Shou Hen subdue that dark-clothed man and force him to reveal something.”
As Chen Xiao was talking to himself, he suddenly realized something was wrong. He looked up and saw that the street had somehow become empty. Over a hundred people were surrounding him from both sides.
“Damn it, did I provoke the mafia?” Chen Xiao was right. To hold a foothold in Jinghua City, the capital of China, one must have strong backing. The street thugs he had beaten earlier were members of one of Jinghua’s three major gangs—the Blood Dragon Hall.
This street was also under the Blood Dragon Hall’s control. If Chen Xiao had beaten their members here and they didn’t come for revenge, that would be strange.
“Brother Tao, it’s him.”
The young man who had been knocked out by Chen Xiao pointed at a man in his thirties wearing sunglasses and a black suit.
Zhang Yitao waved his hand, and over a hundred thugs armed with iron rods stopped immediately.
“Is it you who hurt my Blood Dragon Hall brother?” Zhang Yitao asked slowly, with a faint smile on his face.

“It’s me.” Chen Xiao nodded. He scanned the crowd with his mental power and found that they were all ordinary people—no superhumans around. But then he gave a bitter smile. Did he really think superhumans were as common as street vegetables, everywhere?

“Kid, you’re quite skilled and brave,” Zhang Yitao said with a smile upon seeing Chen Xiao’s indifferent expression.

“I give you two choices: die, or join the Blood Dragon Hall,” Zhang Yitao said finally.

“Let me join a gang?” Chen Xiao was stunned, but it seemed there was no other way to resolve things today. Should he bring out Souhen again and kill them all in one move? That wasn’t realistic.

“Sure, but if I join a gang, I’m not going to be a lowly member,” Chen Xiao said with a smile.

“Don’t worry about that. With your skills, you certainly won’t be made into a lowly member,” Zhang Yitao said, smiling at Chen Xiao’s agreement to join the Blood Dragon Hall.

“Brother Tao… Are we just going to let him go like this?” The young man who had been knocked out by Chen Xiao looked displeased.

Zhang Yitao ignored him completely. In his eyes, Chen Xiao was far more important than this person.

“Then that’s fine,” Chen Xiao nodded indifferently. “But I’ll only agree to be a nominal member. I won’t do anything immoral.”

“No problem,” Zhang Yitao said with a smile. “But young man, I want to ask—what exactly does ‘immoral’ mean? There are too many good people in this world. Don’t we need bad people like us to keep things in balance?”

“Huh?” Chen Xiao was taken aback.
