Primordial Era: With unparalleled comprehension, I am the Ancestor of Stars.

Chapter 198 Powerful Mountain Bandits

Taihao held the tea and looked at Chenpi. He found that Chenpi was very capable, but his background and strength were lacking. As for strength, he had the support of himself and Pingxin and a few others. Among Pingxin and the others, only Xihe had some leadership ability. The other three basically had no leadership ability. Taihao had just arrived in Canglan Continent. If he wanted to establish himself in Canglan Continent or the top world where there were countless strong people, his own strength was the most important thing. However, he still needed a powerful force behind him. Taihao did not want to rely on other forces, so he could only build his own force and make it the strongest support for himself and everyone around him.

This requires a leader with leadership skills, and Taihao found that Chenpi was quite good. Although Chenpi left a bad impression on Taihao when they first met, after spending some time together, Taihao found that he had become like Ziyang Zhenren in Chenpi's heart, and could not possibly have any rebellious thoughts. The reason he tortured Qinglang just now was firstly to punish Qinglang for his insolence, and secondly to see Chenpi's reaction. And Chenpi's actions were basically impeccable.

Chen Pi was Qing Lang's savior, but Qing Lang didn't take Chen Pi seriously at all. Qing Lang was the strongest in the Qing Lang Gang, so no one dared to resist him under his tyranny.

Just as Taihao was thinking about establishing his own sect, a terrifying energy suddenly erupted from Pingxin's body, instantly shattering the barrier that Taihao had casually set up.

When Taihao saw Pingxin shatter the barrier, he flashed to Nuwa and the others, blocking Pingxin's aura so as not to affect them who were still in the process of enlightenment.

Pingxin's aura continued to grow stronger, and the terrifying energy shook the entire hall. Fortunately, Taihao protected the hall in time, otherwise he would have torn it down. Taihao already regarded this place as his own, and he did not want it to be destroyed so soon after he took over.

Pingxin's strength is slowly increasing, and he is just a little bit away from breaking through to the God Lord level. Once he does, he will be a part of the Canglan Continent, and no one will say that they are from the lower realm after they leave.

Just as Pingxin was about to complete his breakthrough, Huo Ling'er's aura also began to surge. Huo Ling'er's strength was already close to breaking through to the God Lord realm, but because he had fused with the Nine Netherworld God-Slaying Flame, the difficulty of his breakthrough was more difficult than that of Pingxin and the others. After all, his combat power was the strongest among the four, and his attack methods were also unpredictable.

As Huo Ling'er broke through, Tiandao, Nuwa, and Xihe also woke up. They looked on with envy at the picture of Pingxin, who had broken through to the God Lord realm, and Huo Ling'er, who was breaking through.

Even the Heavenly Dao's eyes flashed with a hint of envy. "This top-tier world is truly a wonderful place. A cup of tea was enough to help Pingxin and the others break through, and we have also gained many benefits," the Heavenly Dao said leisurely, standing beside Taihao.

"Yes, even I benefited a little, let alone you all." After listening to Tiandao's words, Taihao turned to Tiandao and said.

"From now on, you will stay here and cultivate. Do not move around casually. You are not allowed to move around casually until your strength has broken through to the eighth level of the Divine Lord." Taihao then said to Huo Ling'er, Pingxin, Nuwa, and Xihe, who had already completed their breakthroughs.

The four had no objections. They knew that their current strength was of no help to Taihao, and following Taihao would only be a burden to him. The four respectfully said to Taihao, "Yes, Master, we will break through to the eighth level of the Divine Lord realm as soon as possible."

"Chen Pi, come here," Taihao said to Chen Pi, who was standing at a distance.

When Chen Pi heard Taihao call him, he hurriedly ran over and stood respectfully in front of Taihao.

"Chen Pi, how many people are in the Green Wolf Gang, and what is their strength?" Taihao looked at Chen Pi, who was very respectful, with great satisfaction, and then asked directly.

"Reporting to Senior, the Green Wolf Gang has more than 10,000 members. Among them, there are more than 3,000 members at the first to third level of the Divine Lord realm, more than 2,000 members at the fourth to sixth level, more than 2,000 members at the seventh to eighth level, and more than 1,800 members at the ninth level. Only less than 100 members have broken through to the Divine Lord realm and reached the Divine King realm." Chen Pi reported the strength of all the members of the Green Wolf Gang to Taihao without any concealment.

"That's not right. This is the headquarters of the Green Wolf Gang. There are only about twenty people here, and their strength is only at the first level of the Divine Lord realm. There are not that many people at all!" When Taihao was reporting to Chenpi, his divine soul power enveloped the Zhenge Courtyard and he did not discover the existence of so many people.

"The Green Wolf Gang makes a living by robbing people. This place is just the nominal headquarters. In the eyes of the Ziyang Sect, the Green Wolf Gang is just a third-rate gang. Usually, the people here will take on some simple escort missions to deceive the Ziyang Sect's spies. Most of the rest of them are doing business as mountain bandits in places far away from Ziyang City. Every year, they only need to hand over 70% of the treasures and spirit stones they rob to the headquarters," Chen Pi said somewhat hesitantly.

After all, banditry is a low-class profession that is easy to get into trouble with karma, but even so, there are still many powerful bandits on the Canglan Continent.

After listening to Chen Pi's words, Taihao frowned slightly. The things the bandits had done were against the will of Heaven and the law of the universe, and Taihao did not want to confront the law of the universe so soon. With his current strength, as long as the law of the universe sent down a lightning tribulation, he could be reduced to ashes.

Originally, Taihao wanted to directly subdue the Green Wolf Gang. As an elder of the Heavenly Court, it seems that this is not feasible, and the establishment of the Heavenly Court can only be postponed.

Since Taihao had just arrived on the Canglan Continent, he needed to gain a deeper understanding of the power distribution on the Canglan Continent in order to make all the necessary preparations for establishing the Heavenly Court in the future.

"Find each of them a training room, then send people to protect them. You should collect all the assets of the Green Wolf Gang, then eliminate some of the most vicious people and integrate the Green Wolf Gang. Can you do that?" Taihao thought for a moment, then said to Chenpi.

"Yes, senior!" Chen Pi didn't ask why, he just did what Taihao asked.

"From now on, call me Young Master, and don't call me Senior anymore."

Taihao originally wanted Chenpi to disband the Green Wolf Gang and establish a separate sect, but then he thought again that the Green Wolf Gang had a large number of members, and not all of them were necessarily vicious people. It would be enough to remove those people from the Green Wolf Gang; there was no need to disband the entire Green Wolf Gang.

"Yes, young master, I will arrange it immediately. We will eliminate every single one of them from the Green Wolf Gang," Chen Pi said. After speaking, he saw Taihao lower his head to drink tea, and then left the main hall with Nuwa and the other three.

After taking a sip of tea, Taihao looked up and saw Tiandao also drinking tea there, not having left. Taihao looked at Tiandao with suspicion and said, "Why didn't you go to cultivate with them?"

"My strength cannot be improved through seclusion, so I follow you," Tiandao said to Taihao as he leisurely sipped his tea.

"Oh, by the way, from now on you can call me Tianxuan, otherwise I won't even have a name."
