The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3639 Expansion
Finding out information is indeed a minor matter.

Soon, Lei Yu organized a group of capable people, two people per group, determined their respective directions, and carried the token given to them by Lin Chen before they dispersed.

Lin Chen learned that the three materials needed to refine the Fire Phoenix Flower Dew Liquid—Sacred Phoenix Blood, Myriad Butterfly Flower, and Seven-Colored Lotus Dew—are all very rare and difficult to find.

Lin Chen wasn't disappointed; if it was hard to find, he'd just keep looking.

I'm not afraid of it being hard to find; I'm afraid of it not being available at all.

So much time has passed, what if they've gone extinct?

The city lords and others of the Earth Dragon Gate quickly gathered together. Lei Yu didn't waste any words and announced cleanly that he would step down as deputy sect leader. Ning Hesheng would become the new sect leader, and the remaining four, including Lin Chen, would all hold the title of elder. The only difference was that Lin Chen's title had one more word.

Grand Elder.

Why did the other three people, including the sect leader Ning Hesheng, all listen to Lin Chen?
Lei Yu voluntarily stepped down, and the various leaders below naturally had no objections.

The sect leader himself has no objection to matters between sages, so who would dare to object?

Everyone paid their respects to the new leader. Seeing the row of saints, the city lords below all had their eyes light up.

The Earth Dragon Gate's strength has expanded so much all of a sudden; they're definitely up to something.

Everyone was aware of the power struggles among the surrounding forces, and they had all heard about it. They were originally worried, but now they were not only not worried, but they were even excited.

Six saints!

Now that we're so strong, shouldn't we expand our territory?

As everyone expected, after a simple plan, Ning and Sheng were left to guard the city, while the other five set off together for the Black Knife Gang north of Dilongmen.

In the chaotic Sixth District, many forces vying for territory are essentially bandits who rule from the mountains. Therefore, these forces are often named after gangs or sects, but rarely after clans or palaces.

The Black Knife Gang doesn't occupy a large territory; it's even smaller than the Earth Dragon Gate.

Among the surrounding forces, the Black Knife Gang is relatively weak. Although the Black Knife Gang leader, Jiao Hongchang, is a saint, his strength can only be considered second-rate, and he is still some distance away from being first-rate.

Lei Yu had previously considered taking over the Black Knife Gang, but Jiao Hongchang was unwilling.

For Jiao Hongchang, his territory was indeed not very large, but he preferred to be the head of a chicken rather than the tail of a phoenix. Wouldn't it be more carefree to be the boss himself?
This is actually the common mentality among the powerful figures, large and small, who occupy territories and rule over their own territories in the Sixth District.

Lei Yu could beat Jiao Hongchang, but he couldn't crush or kill Jiao Hongchang. Jiao Hongchang refused Lei Yu's offer to recruit him, saying that if Lei Yu tried to forcibly take over his territory, he was no match for Lei Yu and would leave. However, he would seek revenge after leaving.

How powerful would a saint's revenge be?

With a single move, the entire city was wiped out.

How many more times can it withstand such destruction?

This is the chaotic and disorderly Sixth District. The divine decrees that bind saints in other districts are useless here, because the gods are too lazy to care.

This is why the saints here are so unscrupulous; they openly steal whatever they want, and if they can't win, they destroy it out of anger. Lei Yu didn't have a way to completely suppress or even kill Jiao Hongchang, so after Jiao Hongchang refused, he had no choice but to give up.

Lei Yu was quite looking forward to it; he wanted to see what Jiao Hongchang would say this time.

Jiao Hongchang was enjoying fine wine and watching beautiful women dance in his mansion when Lin Chen and his group suddenly appeared.

Lei Yu greeted him with a smile: "Jiao Hongchang, long time no see. You seem to be living a very comfortable life."

Jiao Hongchang's eyes swept over the crowd, and his eyelids twitched involuntarily twice, his smile becoming somewhat forced.

"Sect Leader Lei, your sudden visit has caught me off guard. And who are these gentlemen?"

Lei Yu explained, "These four are all elders of the Earth Dragon Sect."

Jiao Hongchang's eyes widened suddenly. An elder of the Earth Dragon Gate?
Four new saintly elders have suddenly appeared?
Even a fool could guess that the other party had ill intentions.

"Sect Master Lei, it hasn't been that long since we last met, and your Earth Dragon Sect has gained so many powerful figures..."

Lei Yu laughed and said, "Just to clarify, I am now the deputy sect leader of the Earth Dragon Sect. The sect leader is guarding the sect and has not come out yet."

Jiao Hongchang's heart skipped a beat. Lei Yu wasn't even the sect leader anymore?
Was they ousted?
Jiao Hongchang said in a deep voice, "It seems that a lot has happened at the Earth Dragon Gate. May I ask what brings you all here today?"

Lei Yu answered frankly, "Chief Jiao, we have dealt with each other before and are considered old friends. This region is constantly in conflict and is bound to be reshuffled. With Chief Jiao's strength, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to survive this round. That's why we've come to invite Chief Jiao to join our Earth Dragon Sect."

really!

Jiao Hongchang asked in a deep voice, "What if I agree? What if I don't agree?"

Lei Yu smiled and said, "If you agree, the Black Knife Gang will be merged into the Earth Dragon Gate, and you can serve as an elder within the gate."

"If you don't agree, then we'll have to fight each other. But I can tell you with certainty that once we start fighting, you probably won't be able to leave even if you want to."

Jiao Hongchang's expression turned serious as he faced Lei Yu's undisguised threat.

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Chief Jiao, we intend to integrate all the forces in this area and establish a force with sufficient strength. As long as we are strong enough, we can take root here and no longer be in a situation where anyone can drive us away."

"Although you have lost your position as gang leader, being an elder in a major power is not necessarily worse than being the leader of a small place on your own!"

"To show our sincerity, we can give Chief Jiao a choice. If you like freedom and don't want to be restrained, we can let you leave safely. However, in return, we hope that you will not appear in other forces and oppose us in the future."

"If you leave and join another faction to oppose us, even if that faction eventually chooses to surrender, we will never accept you. If you run away, that's fine, but if we catch you, then please say goodbye to this world."

Jiao Hongchang immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

The other party was able to offer their own choice, and didn't seem to be a particularly vicious person.

If the other party only had Lei Yu, Jiao Hongchang would naturally not want to join them or be subordinate to them. Everyone is a saint, you are only slightly more powerful than me, why should I have to bow and scrape to you?

But now the other side has five, no, including the sect leader who stayed behind, there are six saints in total. As someone with second-rate strength, it shouldn't be shameful for me to join the other side, right?
Lei Yu was barely considered a first-rate fighter, but didn't he surrender anyway?
