My beautiful CEO wife

Chapter 1431: Black Water Company

The elder was taken aback by the words.

He had been in seclusion in the valley, indifferent to worldly matters, and was utterly unaware of what was happening outside.

So he frowned and asked, "What do you mean by fighting for Huaxia?"

Xiao Zheng replied in a deep voice, "The Blood Clan and Werewolves, two major alien races, are invading Huaxia, planning to destroy the Huaxia Holy Land and conquer the Martial Arts World. Their power is immense, and our side is comparatively weaker, hence the need to request the elders to take action."

Only then did the elder understand.

He was silent for a moment and said with a hint of mockery, "You should know that secluded elders never meddle in worldly affairs."

Xiao Zheng said, "That’s why I am here to inform you of these worldly matters."

The elder said indifferently, "Even if I know, it won’t change anything. Martial Arts is the only thing I pursue, so I won’t go out."

Xiao Zheng said, "If the lips are gone, the teeth will feel the cold."

The secluded elder sneered, "That group of aliens is not foolish."

If they are not foolish, they won’t provoke the back mountains of the Holy Land.

Xiao Zheng was silent for a moment.

It seems Ruan Qingfeng and Yue Qianshan were right; these secluded elders are indeed very cold-hearted.

Therefore, Xiao Zheng’s tone turned cold as he said, "What if I must insist on you taking action?"

The secluded elder’s eyebrows raised.

A terrifying aura faintly emanated from his body.

Flap, flap!

In the woods, a few night birds suddenly woke up with alarm and flew into the sky in panic.

They sensed a dangerous aura.

"Young people today are becoming increasingly bold."

The secluded elder stared at Xiao Zheng and said with a mocking smile, "Perhaps your elders never taught you how to write the word ’reverence’."

Xiao Zheng shook his head and said, "To possess great strength yet let aliens invade our homeland, do you really have the heart?"

The secluded elder said indifferently, "I will give you a chance; leave immediately, and I will not hold you accountable for your disrespect."

Xiao Zheng chuckled, "It seems reasoning indeed doesn’t work."

The secluded elder’s mouth curved into a mocking smile as he said, "Do you intend to use your fists then?"

Xiao Zheng said seriously, "Perhaps we can give it a try."

A sudden gust of wind arose in the woods.

The strong wind surged.

Leaves rustled and fell.

The stream began to ripple slightly.

A chilling aura filled the forest, making one feel a slight coldness.

The secluded elder stared at Xiao Zheng and said coldly, "No one has ever dared to say such words in the back mountains."

Xiao Zheng said, "It seems I am the first; what an honor."

"Hmph!"

The secluded elder said no more and stood up.

His body wasn’t tall.

He was very old and very thin.

Yet, as he slowly stood, he seemed like a towering mountain rising from the ground, a stormy aura spreading from him.

Xiao Zheng shook his head and said, "I came with a desire for peace, but conflict seems inevitable."

The secluded elder said, "This is the Martial Arts World."

As it is the Martial Arts World, the strong are revered.

Thus, a weakling trying to influence the will of the strong must face punishment.

The secluded elder thus punched towards Xiao Zheng.

A sudden light gleamed in the forest.

A massive wave of Gang Qi surged from the secluded elder’s body, transforming into a gigantic ring of light, roaring towards Xiao Zheng.

Xiao Zheng’s expression turned slightly stern.

To become a secluded elder signifies this person’s strength is formidable.

This person is already a Martial Saint.

The punch of a Martial Saint naturally stirs winds and clouds, terrifying beyond belief.

However, Xiao Zheng did not retreat or dodge.

Facing the Light Fist, he stretched out a hand, reaching towards it.

The secluded elder mocked, "No wonder you previously spoke such strange words; it turns out you’re a fool."

Only a fool would try to catch the fist of a Martial Saint.

Bang!

A dull sound echoed in the forest.

Then the secluded elder’s eyes widened suddenly.

In his widened eyes, shock surged forth.

Because he witnessed an unbelievable scene.

Xiao Zheng stretched out his hand, caught the punch, and then crushed it.

Bang!

Accompanied by a dull sound, the Light Fist shattered, transforming into Gang Qi, whipping up a gale that blew the secluded elder’s hair and tattered robe backward.

Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "Now, who is the fool?"

The secluded elder fell silent.

"You are strong."

He raised his head, looked at Xiao Zheng, and with a complicated expression, said, "But you are alone."

One person alone cannot contend with the secluded elders within the deep valley.

Because there are many of them.

With many people, strength is amplified.

Xiao Zheng replied, "One person is enough, because you are not united."

The secluded elder remained silent.

The crisis faced by Huaxia didn’t compel them to act, nor the troubles faced by their fellow disciples.

Xiao Zheng said, "Now you have two choices. First, come with me. Second, I will kill you."

Xiao Zheng looked at the secluded elder and smiled, "Which do you choose?"

The secluded elder was silent for a longer time.

They had just exchanged a single move.

To ordinary people, a single move is nothing, but for a Martial Saint, one move can reveal a lot.

What he saw was that he was absolutely no match for Xiao Zheng, and the gap between them was vast and insurmountable.

That’s why Xiao Zheng’s words carried significant weight.

The secluded elder naturally did not want to die.

So he sighed and said, "Fine, I will go with you."

Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "It seems you are a wise man. What is your name?"

The secluded elder was quite distressed.

He didn’t want to be a wise man.

He wanted to be a strong one.

But now he can only be wise, so he answered honestly, "My name is Xiao Jingde."

Xiao Zheng nodded and said, "Xiao Jingde, who is the strongest in this deep valley?"

Xiao Jingde didn’t hesitate and said, "Zuo Longyi."

"Oh?"

Xiao Zheng raised an eyebrow.

This name sounded familiar to him.

Xiao Jingde explained, "Zuo Longyi was a martial arts genius forty years ago. After achieving the Martial Saint Realm, he secluded himself in this deep valley. To what extent he has reached now is beyond our estimation, but he is unquestionably the strongest person."

After a pause, Xiao Jingde continued, "Before he went into seclusion, he did something monumental that shook the entire Martial Arts World."

Xiao Zheng curiously asked, "What was it?"

To shake the entire Martial Arts World, it must have been no small matter.

For instance, he destroyed the Demon Shield Bureau, he killed the War God Heck, or the Blood Clan and Werewolves attacking.

Xiao Jingde said, "He killed the mastermind behind the Black Water Company."

Xiao Zheng was taken aback.

The Black Water Company, on par with the Demon Shield Bureau, was a superpower responsible for all kinds of security affairs. From national presidents to underworld tycoons, everyone wanted this company to protect them.

Because they were incredibly strong.

So strong, it was absurd.

Under their protection, everyone could feel absolutely safe.

So, as the boss of the Black Water Company, he was undoubtedly one of the hardest people to kill in the world.

Yet Zuo Longyi killed this person!

Just how strong is he then?
