Under One Person: I, Jiaqian Jushi, work from nine to five

Ma Xianhong had lost patience with Zhang Chulan's witty nonsense after listening to him for so long. He had just received another phone call and learned about the actions of those temporary workers.

First they set fire to the village, then they purged the villagers...

To put it nicely, those temporary workers were all-rounders; to put it bluntly, they were a bunch of bandits!

"Zhang Chulan! It seems I was too optimistic about the company! I really didn't expect... you bunch of bastards could be this despicable!"

...

P.S.: Just wishing you all the best. Goodnight and sweet dreams, everyone. See you tomorrow!

Chapter 176 Zhang Chulan: This Ma Xianhong is really prolific! (First Update)

Ma Xianhong frowned and slowly got up. He was ready to join the battle and was determined to take down those troublemaking temporary workers.

“I told you long ago, those guys are all crazy, they’re capable of anything…” Zhang Chulan said.

"Alright... then I'll go and meet those lunatics!" Ma Xianhong said as he walked outside.

"No... Old Ma, you'll die!"

"Death? With them? You're underestimating me?"

Hearing Zhang Chulan's words, Ma Xianhong sneered, seemingly not taking those temporary workers seriously.

"Old Ma... given our family's long-standing relationship, I really don't want anything to happen to you... those lunatics are no pushovers, they're very strong. Take my advice, don't go!"

Zhang Chulan was still acting, stalling for time.

"You think I'm so easy to deal with? Zhang Chulan, get out of the way!"

"I don't..."

Hearing this, Ma Xianhong said nothing more, punched Zhang Chulan and sent him flying, then glanced at the Zhang Chulan curled up in pain on the ground and said:

"You've been trying to persuade me for so long, so let me try to persuade you too. No matter what the outcome is... don't get involved. I, Ma Xianhong, don't want to hurt you."

"..."

Zhang Chulan fell silent after hearing Ma Xianhong's words.

It's clear that he really managed to fool Ma Xianhong by saying all that he had to say, making him believe that he wasn't on the same side as those temporary workers.

After Ma Xianhong finished speaking, he walked towards the village in the distance. After taking only a few steps, he seemed to remember something and turned back to remind Zhang Chulan:

"By the way, Zhang Chulan... I advise you not to have any other thoughts. Just stay here obediently and wait until I've dealt with them before we talk."

"?"

When Zhang Chulan heard Ma Xianhong tell him to stay in this cultivation furnace room, he raised an eyebrow and tentatively asked:

"Old Ma...you're really comfortable leaving me with your precious baby?"

"I trust you, but if you insist on courting disaster, don't blame me for being ruthless..."

Ma Xianhong was absolutely confident in the security around the Body Refinement Furnace. He placed a large number of beautiful dolls near the furnace, as well as even more advanced black dolls.

This black puppet can be considered his most recent masterpiece.

Compared to the previous White Puppet, in addition to the huge increase in strength and speed, it also has a greatly improved agility in controlling Qi.

In addition, the black puppet had recently undergone the transplantation of Chen Duo's methods, and had stored a certain amount of the original Gu poison from Chen Duo's body.

If you get even a tiny bit of that primal Gu poison... you'll be skinned alive, if not killed. He's sure that if Zhang Chulan really does something reckless, he'll be in deep trouble.

Seeing that Ma Xianhong had walked away, Zhang Chulan simply stopped pretending.

He lit a traditional cigarette and looked at the meditation room in front of him.

"Old Ma is so confident in keeping me here, there must be a lot of reasons behind it."

"In that case..."

Zhang Chulan thought for a moment, then slowly spoke into the communication channel: "Everyone, hurry up! Ma Xianhong has already made his move. We need to take care of Shang Genqi and disperse the villagers as soon as possible..."

"receive."

"receive."

The communicator crackled with the responses of the group.

"By the way... is Brother Liu there?" Zhang Chulan called out to Zhou Fengliu again in the communication.

"how?"

Hearing Zhou Fengliu's voice coming from the communicator, Zhang Chulan looked at the cultivation furnace in front of him and a slight smile appeared on his lips:

"Brother Liu, I'm in the cultivation furnace room... I need your help."

"Can't you do it yourself?" Zhou Fengliu asked.

He originally planned to meet with Lao Ma first.

"I can't do without you, Brother Liu," Zhang Chulan replied.

He said that with such a great foreign player available, why should he have to work so hard himself?

"Okay, I'll be there in a bit."

"Okay, Brother Liu, I'll wait for you."

After a brief exchange, Zhang Chulan flicked his cigarette ash, took another puff of his traditional cigarette, and recalled what Ma Xianhong had just told him: "If you insist on courting death, then don't blame me for being ruthless."

He started to think that Lao Ma was indeed a bit dim-witted.

Can't he just call someone?

He called over an old man... Zhang Chulan refused to believe he couldn't smash this broken furnace.

Zhang Chulan stubbed out his cigarette and entered the cultivation furnace room with a tentative mindset.

He was already close to the door of the cultivation furnace, but the ambush he had imagined did not appear.

"?"

That's strange.

Could it be that Old Ma has become smarter?

So you know you can bluff now?

That shouldn't be the case.

Forget it.

This is a rare opportunity, let's give it a try!

Zhang Chulan pulled out a large hammer from somewhere, then channeled his internal energy and struck the door of the cultivation furnace at a frequency of eighty blows with the large hammer and forty blows with the small hammer.

He had just tapped the furnace when he heard a series of creaking sounds coming from above.

Before he could figure out what the sound was, he saw countless flower-shaped dolls leap down from the upper mezzanine, among which one doll, all in black, stood out.

Holy crap! So many?

Zhang Chulan's face instantly fell, revealing a pained expression.

He had thought it might be dolls, but he hadn't expected there to be so many.

Old Ma is really good at having children!

They've bred so many little brats, keeping them by the body-refining furnace to keep them safe!

At a glance, Zhang Chulan estimated there were at least several dozen Ru Huas.

Upon seeing this.

He felt it was somewhat hasty.

We should have waited for Zhou Fengliu's reinforcements to arrive...

Of course, it's not too late now.

As long as he can get rid of these bastards.

Zhang Chulan did not choose to linger in the battle, but hurriedly ran out of the cultivation furnace room.

Strangely, when he ran out, those women didn't chase after him.

Seeing this, Zhang Chulan seemed to understand something; the attack range of these flower-shaped puppets seemed to be limited to this cultivation furnace room...

the other side.

Ma Xianhong rushed back to the village as quickly as possible. Standing on a tall tree, he activated all the flying insects he could control to check the situation inside the village.

He saw the villagers of Biyou fighting the fire amidst the flames.

I witnessed the battle between those with superior innate abilities and those outsiders.

...

Seeing this, Ma Xianhong regretted letting those temporary workers into the village.

If it weren't for those people... Biyou Village would never be in this state, with so many people involved.

Thinking this through, he clenched his fist, then spoke to the villagers of Biyou Village through the flying insects in the village:

"I apologize, everyone. To avoid causing unnecessary panic, I have instructed the highly capable individuals to keep this from you..."

“Our Biyou Village was attacked tonight. The attackers were the outsiders who entered the village a few days ago. They came to arrest Chen Duo, but I refused.”

"The reasons for this are too complex to explain in a short time. What I want to say is... I will protect Chen Duo, protect my comrades, and I will choose to fight them!"

Chapter 177 The Qi Blade Machine Gun Reappears! Everyone calm down now? (Second Update)

"But you...whether you're from the highest level or everyone else...this battle has nothing to do with you. This is just my own choice. The only ones who truly have to face the battle are myself and Chen Duo..."

"I don't want you to get involved in this unnecessary disaster, so... those who don't want to get involved, come down the mountain immediately, don't hesitate. If you intend to stay and fight alongside me... you need to think carefully. Our enemy is very powerful, exceptionally powerful..."

Old Ma is a good man. Even at such a critical moment, he handed over the power of choice to the villagers of Biyou Village.

Whether to stay or not.

Or leave...
