The Most Powerful Overlord

Chapter 296: The Flooded Dragon King’s Temple

The implication is, isn’t the question you’re asking redundant?

The middle-aged man’s expression remained unchanged, but the faces of the two young men behind him darkened.

One of the young men couldn’t help but say, "Kid, watch your mouth, show some respect. You can’t comprehend the kind of existence standing before you."

"Shang’er! Do not be rude!"

The middle-aged man reprimanded with a shout, then cupping his hands toward Ye Qingtian and the others, said, "My name is Duan Yucheng, this is my son Duan Yushang, and this is the daughter of my friend, Yu Yunqi. We come from Western Shu Celestial City."

"What? The Duan Family and the Yu Family from Western Shu Celestial City?"

Ye Qingtian showed no reaction, but Zhou Zefang’s face changed drastically, his eyes filled with shock.

Upon hearing, Duan Yushang and Yu Yunqi raised their heads arrogantly, looking down at Ye Qingtian.

Duan Yucheng was first taken aback, then laughed, "I didn’t expect you to actually know us?"

Zhou Zefang smiled, "The Duan Family and the Yu Family are prestigious families in Western Shu, comparable to the Tang Family. They are superfamilies with assets worth over billions. Who wouldn’t know them?"

Duan Yushang sneered, "I didn’t expect you to have such insight; it seems that Beihua isn’t the backwater as rumored."

"Yes, I didn’t expect anyone to know us. Truly unexpected."

Yu Yunqi spoke with an air of arrogance in her voice.

"May I ask who you are?"

Duan Yucheng inquired.

"I am Zhou Zefang, doing some small business in Beihua."

Zhou Zefang replied modestly.

"Zhou Zefang? Never heard of him."

Duan Yushang huffed.

"It’s normal not to have heard of me, just doing some small business after all."

Zhou Zefang chuckled.

However, Duan Yucheng’s face changed: "So it’s Mr. Zhou, chairman of Beihua Tianyuan, my apologies for not recognizing you sooner!"

"Mr. Duan, you are too kind. Compared to the Duan Family, I am just doing some insignificant business."

Zhou Zefang maintained his modest demeanor.

Duan Yushang asked his guards quietly, "Is this Zhou Zefang well-known?"

One of the guards replied, "He is quite famous in Beihua, has extensive connections and strong finances!"

"How does he compare to the third-tier wealthy families in Tianjing?"

Duan Yushang continued asking.

"There is still a considerable gap."

"Hehehe, can’t even compare to Tianjing’s third-tier wealthy families, nowhere near the Duan Family’s level."

Duan Yushang said disdainfully.

"I thought he was someone important. Turns out Uncle Duan was just being polite."

Yu Yunqi chimed in agreement.

"Could it be that Mr. Zhou is also here for the South Sea Immortal Ganoderma?"

Duan Yucheng asked.

Zhou Zefang didn’t deny it: "Exactly. Is Mr. Duan here for the same reason?"

Duan Yucheng chuckled, "Coincidentally, we are also here for the South Sea Immortal Ganoderma."

"Haha, what a coincidence indeed."

Zhou Zefang’s face was full of smiles, though he could clearly feel Duan Yucheng’s wariness.

"Are Yunqi and the others here for the South Sea Immortal Ganoderma too?"

Duan Yushang sneered.

"Can’t even compare to Tianjing’s third-tier families, no match for us in competition."

Yu Yunqi showed her disdain.

Soon, they arrived at the mist-covered Wuliang Mountain.

Instantly, everyone was amazed by the scene before them.

Vast fields full of verdant herbs, rare and exotic plants sprawled everywhere...

As if they stumbled into a paradise.

With each breath, everyone felt a sense of clarity and refreshment.

The aroma of herbs wafted through, permeating the heart.

"This place is too wonderful! I must come here often for vacation if I get the chance."

Yu Yunqi looked longingly.

Duan Yushang glanced around and sneered, "I’m thinking of buying this place and turning it into a resort! It would definitely become Huaxia’s premier vacation spot!"

"That’s a great idea!"

Yu Yunqi concurred.

Soon, two women arrived with sweet smiles and said, "You must be Mr. Duan and Mr. Zhou? Please come with us, the host has been expecting you for a while!"

The two women had an ethereal elegance, almost otherworldly.

This heightened Ye Qingtian’s curiosity about the owner of Wuliang Mountain.

Then, everyone followed the maids.

Suddenly, ancient-style pavilions crafted entirely from trees appeared before them.

Upon entering the pavilion, they found there were already many people inside.

Ye Qingtian scanned the room, spotting quite a few people.

It seems the allure of the South Sea Immortal Ganoderma is substantial.

But so what?

If Ye Qingtian wants it, even if Heaven King’s Father comes, Ye Qingtian will take it.

"Who are these people?"

Duan Yucheng frowned and asked.

"This gentleman is Yang Jinsheng from the Beihua Yang Family! And this gentleman is Wu Kaixuan from the Beihua Wu Family..."

The two maids introduced seven or eight key figures present.

Almost all the top figures from Beihua’s major cities had gathered here, marginalizing Zhou Zefang.

"Two more arrived?"

These elites scorned, as if the Ganoderma was already theirs.

"Mr. Duan, Mr. Zhou, please!"

The maids guided them; only two seats remained in the last rows.

The front seats were already taken by others.

Duan Yushang walked to the first row and said coldly, "Move, your seats are in the back."

"What?"

Everyone looked at each other.

"Didn’t you hear me? These seats aren’t meant for you."

Duan Yushang said sternly.

"Who the hell is this kid acting tough with my elders? Does he have a death wish?"

His arrogance infuriated everyone.

"Hurry up and move, before I lose my temper."

Duan Yushang was overbearing, looking down on the top figures.

"Kid, you’re deliberately making trouble for Fatty here!"

Yang Jinsheng stood up and shoved Duan Yushang.

However, the Half-Step Martial King behind Duan Yushang intervened fiercely, seizing Yang Jinsheng’s wrist.

"Ugh..."

Instantly, Yang Jinsheng let out a pig-slaughtering screech.

The pain made him break into cold sweat and tremble all over.

"You’re courting death..."

The other top figures and guards stood up abruptly, creating a tense atmosphere.

"Boom!"

But the two Half-Step Martial Kings from the Duan Family exuded power, their Qi Force soared.

A supreme pressure engulfed them, as if locking everyone in place.

"Half-Step Martial King!"

"Two Half-Step Martial Kings!"

The faces of Long Province’s elites changed drastically.

"May I ask who this young man is?"

Wu Kaixuan couldn’t help but ask.

"Duan Yushang from the Western Shu Duan Family!"

Duan Yushang looked coldly arrogant.

"Western Shu Duan Family?"

"Hiss!"

Instantly, the sound of inhaling sharply filled the air.

"Duan Yucheng apologizes on behalf of my son to everyone!"

Duan Yucheng stepped forward, apologized.

"Duan Yucheng? Duan Family? Could it be the superfamilies of Western Shu?"

"That’s a super family! Even in Tianjing they are considered second-tier elite!"

"Indeed, with assets in the billions! Terrifying!"

"No wonder this young man is so arrogant, he has the grounds to be!"

...

After knowing Duan Yucheng’s identity, the whole room fell silent.

The Duan Family, a super family, overshadowed everyone present.

"Water flooding the Dragon King’s Temple! Mr. Duan, Young Master Duan, please take the front seats!"

Immediately, these elites escorted Duan Yucheng and several others to the seats in the front.
