Chapter 360

"Uh…" Xiaozhi laughed dryly.

"Hmph!"

Seeing him stammer for a long time without speaking, Liu Menglu said with annoyance, "Alright, I won't tease you. I'm serious, the Hidden Sect is an extremely mysterious force. Although they are a hermit sect, they actually control the entire martial arts world of the Southern Province in secret!"

"Southern Province? That Nanzhou City in China?"

"That's right! Nanzhou City is controlled by them from the shadows!" Liu Menglu nodded.

"Hiss—"

Xiaozhi gasped. He had originally guessed that the Hidden Sect had a powerful background, but he hadn't expected it to be this powerful.

To actually control the entire martial arts world in Nanzhou City, China—that could simply be called god-like.

In his heart, Xiaozhi ultimately felt some relief. Fortunately, he hadn't made an enemy of the Hidden Sect back then; otherwise, he probably would have died without a place to be buried long ago.

However, he was still puzzled and asked, "Since that's the case, why haven't they turned Nanzhou City into their own territory?"

"Because Nanzhou City has the Dragon Group!"

Liu Menglu sighed. "The Dragon Group is a force founded by a group of martial arts geniuses, specifically responsible for maintaining social stability, handling some tricky cases, and also protecting some ordinary people from being harmed! The Hidden Sect is a hermit force, so they don't dare to clash head-on with the Dragon Group. Moreover, it is said that the sect leader of the Hidden Sect is a very formidable existence."

Xiaozhi frowned and said, "By doing this, are they trying to seize the power of the state?"

Liu Menglu nodded and said, "Yes!"

"Do you in the Dragon Group just let them do as they please?"

Xiaozhi frowned and said with some concern, "I think you should persuade your grandfather not to make an enemy of the Hidden Sect."

"Persuade my grandfather? I have! I've already told my grandfather several times," Liu Menglu said with a bitter smile. "And guess what happened? I told my grandfather that our Dragon Group and the Hidden Sect had conflicts, and he wouldn't listen, and even scolded me! I feel like I'm not even as important to him as you, my brother-in-law!"

"Uh…"

Xiaozhi's mouth twitched, thinking to himself that Liu Yuanxu was probably afraid that Liu Menglu would be retaliated against by the Hidden Sect.

"Alright, I can't interfere in the affairs of your Dragon Group. Regardless, if you encounter any danger in the future, remember to contact me!" Xiaozhi said with a smile.

Liu Menglu nodded and said, "Does this count as you agreeing to take me in?"

"Of course!" Xiaozhi nodded. ===== CHAPTER 361 =====
