Chapter 1683: Heaven Helps Me

"Truly, heaven is helping me. Huang Hong, once my great task is accomplished, your share will certainly not be missing. Haha."

"Then thank you, Daoist. But I would like to ask, does the Daoist still have any need for me?" Huang Hong asked respectfully.

"If there is a need for you, I will naturally come looking for you." Chixiao said with a chuckle: "What is this girl's background?"

"An orphan, both parents are gone." Huang Hong said: "It's just that Chen Yu has been getting quite close to her recently."

"Chen Yu?" Upon hearing Chen Yu's name, Chixiao's brows furrowed slightly: "What is his relationship with this girl?"

"The relationship is unclear, but he treats her quite well, so if we want to move against her, I'm afraid we must first get past Chen Yu." Huang Hong watched Chixiao's expression as he spoke.

"Heh, although Chen Yu's strength is quite strong, among the many Dharma Cultivators, he is merely upper-middle tier. There is no need to fear him." Chixiao sneered: "I will deal with him."

"For the Daoist, dealing with Chen Yu is but a trivial matter." Huang Hong immediately began to flatter him again: "But it makes sense. To be safe, I think it is better to deal with Chen Yu first."

"Hmm, I will go talk to him." Chixiao pondered: "If we can reach an agreement, that would be best. If we cannot, then do not blame me for being heartless."

"But... this person Chen Yu has always been unappreciative." Huang Hong was slightly startled and said: "If you go talk to him now, I'm afraid he won't give the Daoist any face."

"Haha, he won't give me face?" Chixiao laughed loudly: "I'm afraid that is not up to him. Huang Hong, the reason I am going to talk to him is because we in the Cultivation World have rules."

"What rules?" Huang Hong was completely confused. In his view, the Cultivation World had no rules at all; wasn't it just the law of the jungle?

"In your view, is our world one where the strong are respected?" Chixiao saw the expression on his face and knew what he was thinking.

"Yes, I have always believed that the strong in this world can ignore any rules." Huang Hong said.

"Only the supreme experts can ignore all rules. Chen Yu's strength is about the same as mine, so unless it is an absolute last resort, I will not create such a powerful opponent for myself."

Chixiao said leisurely: "So, I have taken a fancy to his item. The primary task is not to snatch it, but to find a way to communicate with him and tell him that this item is what I want."

"We can negotiate terms and exchange benefits. Only if we truly cannot reach an agreement will I find a way to take action against him."

"So that's how it is." Huang Hong suddenly realized. He gritted his teeth and said: "But I feel that this person Chen Yu is extremely arrogant; he might not necessarily accept our peace terms."

"Heh, I don't believe he would make such a powerful opponent as me for the sake of a woman." Chixiao was very confident: "No one is that stupid."

"But I have interacted with him before, and he didn't take me seriously at all." Huang Hong hesitated and said.

"You?" Chixiao glanced at Huang Hong and couldn't help but sneer: "Who do you think you are? What qualifications do you have to talk to him?"

"I..." Huang Hong's face flushed red. Although the truth was hurtful, that was indeed the reality.

"You are an ordinary person. What can you bring to the table? Nothing more than money, power, and women. For a high-level Dharma Cultivator, do you think these things have any appeal to him?" Chixiao said disdainfully: "Only an ordinary person like you would truly take these things seriously, right?"

"Yes, I have been taught." Huang Hong bowed slightly, then gritted his teeth: "Then, Senior Chixiao, you intend to talk to Chen Yu?"

"Of course, we must talk first." Chixiao sneered: "If he does not agree, I will naturally have means to deal with him. If he agrees, I will gain a powerful ally."

"Understood." The expression on Huang Hong's face was uncertain. In his impression, Chixiao had always been an unreasonable existence.

But this time, he was able to calm down and talk properly with the other party; this was something he had not expected.

It seems Chixiao's tyranny also varies from person to person. If the other party is strong, he too must weigh whether his own strength is sufficient.

In the suburbs, at a private villa.

"Mr. Chen, recently, I feel that the Apocalypse Society's movements have become more and more frequent." Wang Yu sat opposite Chen Yu and said with a headache: "And they have made eliminating our society a goal, even incorporating it into their doctrine."

"Some brainwashed people, in order to join their society, have launched large-scale attacks on our society. Recently, we have suffered heavy losses."

"They have truly lost all bottom lines." Chen Yu said: "The authorities in Fusang have not placed any constraints on them either. It seems their backers are quite powerful."

"The supporters of the Apocalypse Society come from the Qingtian Family. This is one of the largest families in Fusang. They have a lot of weight with the authorities, which is the fundamental reason why the Apocalypse Society is growing day by day."

"Do you have any countermeasures now?" Chen Yu asked.

"For now, I don't have any good countermeasures." Wang Yu said: "Now it's not just as simple as them sending assassins. Some ordinary people will come to our door carrying explosives."

"Although Dragon Breath has provided me with some help, this is not the country after all, so the help they provide is limited. I still have to rely on myself now."

"Their methods of bewitching people are quite strong now." Chen Yu stood up and said: "Since that's the case, we will strike back and let them know how formidable we are."

"How to strike back?" Wang Yu gritted his teeth and said: "I know they have a stronghold where there is an Apostle. The stronghold receives new members secretly every day."

"Every time they recruit new members, they have the Apostle display Divine Power to brainwash these ordinary people. This place is specifically targeted at me."

"Targeted at you?" Chen Yu looked at Wang Yu with some surprise: "That's a bit interesting. It seems they won't give up until they get rid of you."

"I know, but for now, I have no way to deal with it." Wang Yu sighed: "If it were experts, I might have some precautions, but ordinary people are truly impossible to guard against."

"Alright then, where is that stronghold?" Chen Yu pondered for a moment and said: "I'll go meet them."

"This..." Wang Yu's expression appeared somewhat embarrassed: "Their stronghold is not fixed, so right now, I cannot inform Mr. Chen where they are specifically."

"However, I have already sent people to investigate. As soon as there is news, I will definitely notify Mr. Chen as quickly as possible."

"There's no need for such trouble." Chen Yu said: "You come out with me, and they will naturally show themselves."
