Wanyao Youyun

Chapter 168 Power Expansion

"The reason why I was able to defeat you today is because I have mastered a new set of sword skills these days. If I were still the same me as before, you wouldn't have been defeated so easily." Looking at Yelu Hongwu who was still confused, Feng Huan probably knew what he felt in his heart. Out of his love for his talent, he casually reminded him to prevent him from getting possessed by demons.

"Thank you!" Feng Huan's words were like a powerful elixir, instantly activating Yelu Hongwu's mind. "But Master Yue's talent is indeed rare, and it is not something that a frog in a well like us can compare to!"

Although he had broken free from the shadow of failure, he was indeed impressed by Feng Huan. In the past, he was like a shining star, held high by the world and looked up to by others. Although he lost to Hao Wusha, he never thought there was a big gap between the two of them, so he once believed that there were only two geniuses in the world. Although he did not fight to the last step today, he believed that he had no chance of winning, not to mention that the other party's realm was lower than his.

"You have done well. Now you are eligible to participate in the next round of elixir auction. Go back and prepare to clear the raw stones!" Feng Huan said and stood up to leave.

"Mr. Yue, please wait a moment!"

"Anything else?"

"It's like this. I heard that your Holy Hand Church's business is expanding very quickly, and I think it's in urgent need of manpower. I've also participated in some mundane affairs in the family, and I know a little bit about business, so if you don't mind, I hope to stay by your side and serve you. Of course, I hope to be by your side and listen to your teachings at all times!"

After saying this, Yelu Hongwu lowered his posture extremely low, with the attitude of a complete follower, which surprised Feng Huan. He didn't expect that such a recognized genius in Fengmo Continent would put aside all his pride in a moment and be willing to follow him.

"Okay, if you are not afraid of lowering your status, I have no problem with that, but I have to be frank with you. Since you have chosen to follow me, you must not have any other intentions, otherwise don't blame me for being rude. This is my only request." Feng Huan did not hesitate. He fully understood that for the sake of higher pursuits, there is nothing that cannot be given up. But after learning from the previous experience, he did not want to be betrayed again, so he gave a stern warning.

"Of course not. I, Yelu Hongwu, am definitely not the kind of fickle, ungrateful villain. If I violate your will, you can handle it."

"Ok!"

……

"Wow, this is great news. I never thought that Yelu Hongwu, one of the two Demon Sealing Dragons, would surrender like this!"

"Yes! But there is no genius like Master Yue in Fengmozhou. Who wouldn't want to follow him? It's just that people like me are not worthy of his attention, otherwise I would go too!"

"With your talent, you're almost thirty and still at the ninth level. You'd better not embarrass yourself!"

"Everyone is the same!"

After the two men left, the people watching the game were amazed again, and each of them just hated their own low talent.

……

"Now that the business of the Holy Hand Church is basically on the right track, our funds are also guaranteed. It's time to take the next step. It just so happens that Yelu Hongwu is here and can help you."

Back at the Holy Hand Hall, Feng Huan introduced Yelu Hongwu to Hua Luzhu and began to study the follow-up actions.

"Then what are you going to do?" Hua Luzhu glanced at Feng Huan, then looked at Yelu Hongwu with a scrutinizing look, a little unsure whether she should let him participate in such a core plan.

"Hongwu, there is something I must make clear to you. My establishment of the Holy Hand Hall is only the first step. The next step is to establish a cultivator force. The ultimate goal is to integrate the forces of the entire Fengmo Continent, which must include your Kongtong Kingdom. Are you still willing? If you don't want to, it doesn't matter. You can just help in the Holy Hand Hall." Feng Huan understood Hua Luzhu's thoughts, and he didn't want to hide it from Yelu Hongtu, so as to avoid uncontrollable accidents in the future.

"Ah!" Yelu Hongwu didn't expect Feng Huan to have such a high talent for cultivation and such great ambitions. He was stunned for a moment when he heard it, but he reacted in an instant, "Don't worry, sir. Although I am from the royal family of Kongtong Kingdom, I am only a side branch, far away from the core of power. My relatives are the same, so I won't care too much about these."

"Ah That's good!"

"We will first establish an intelligence organization to infiltrate various forces and collect various intelligence. This intelligence system will be kept in the dark and will be kept secret from outsiders as much as possible. At the same time, we will publicly recruit and establish a martial arts force, saying that it is to protect the assets of the Holy Hand Hall. After all, with such a huge profit, without sufficient military protection, it is inevitable that someone will want to take a piece of the pie."

"Please ask Master Hua to be in charge of the intelligence organization, and you, Hongwu, should be in charge of recruiting martial artists. The expenses of money and materials can be directly negotiated between the two of you..."

"In addition to these two areas, we also need to find some talented teenagers to train, so that they can truly become our helpers in conquering the continent in the future. These people must have strict age and talent restrictions. I hope Sister Luzhu will take care of these. After all, your natural ability can sense potential geniuses."

After Yelu Hongwu left, Feng Huan expressed another idea, "These people are the top priority, but they must join voluntarily, and we should not use that kind of bloody competition method. People with high talents can be given as many resources as possible, but if they are not loyal, they will be killed immediately."

"Did you sense that he had some bad thoughts just now?" Feng Huan asked Ziyun who was standing beside him. Ziyun was not interested in participating in their discussions on these matters on weekdays, but she was specially asked to come today because she wanted to sense the changes in Yelu Hongwu's character.

"I only sensed his relatively pure desire to fight, and nothing else was obvious. At least when you told him that, his mood didn't fluctuate too much." Ziyun responded while teasing Xiao Fengluan. Over the past few days, Xiao Fengluan has grown up a lot, and has initially shown the temperament of a high-level blood beast, which makes Ziyun like him even more, and he takes him wherever he goes.

"Having you two sisters to help me saves me a lot of worries! Speaking of which, your unique talents are really extraordinary. One can sense the strength of others' talents, and the other can sense the changes in people's temperament. I really don't know what kind of people your parents are!" Feng Huan sighed.

"Oh, do you mean that you want to meet our parents? Isn't that too fast?" Hua Luzhu teased when she heard it.

"Hmm! What do you mean?"

"Can't we see our parents?"

Feng Huan and Zi Yun were completely confused and looked at each other in confusion.

"Hahaha... You two will know later, hahaha..." Hua Luzhu left with a sweet laugh, and the two of them looked at each other in bewilderment when the wind blew.

"Sister, what's going on? It's so weird!"

……

After the news that the Holy Hand Hall was recruiting martial artists spread, Shangming Imperial Capital was in an uproar again. Those who complained about their lack of talent yesterday now had the opportunity to join the Holy Hand Hall, and they were all eager to try.

In a few days, under the leadership of Yelu Hongwu, the Holy Hand Hall recruited a considerable number of martial artists. Most of these people came from small families and self-cultivators. In order to better accommodate these people, under the instruction of Feng Huan, Hua Luzhu bought the abandoned site of Zhongding Palace from the royal family as their base of power.

Just like that, Feng Huan returned openly to the place where he grew up in his childhood. “One day, I will truly come back here under the name of Feng Huan!” Feng Huan muttered to himself.

"I've been back for so long, but I still haven't seen Wushuang. I don't know how she is doing now! She may have guessed my identity. It's time to meet her and help her open the eighth orifice!"

However, he had no way to contact Wushuang directly, so he had to leave her a message through Ziyun, but he did not explicitly say that it was Feng Huan who was looking for her.

But just as Feng Huan thought, Wushuang had already guessed his identity, so after receiving Ziyun's message, he came to the former Zhongding Palace, now the headquarters of the Holy Hand Hall, without any delay.

In Feng Huan's room, Ziyun left tactfully, leaving him and Wushuang alone. This was the first time they were alone together after many years, and for a moment they didn't know how to face it.

Looking at the place where she had played since childhood and was so familiar with it, and thinking of the changes that had happened in the past few years, Wushuang was suddenly overwhelmed with grief, and her tears could no longer be stopped, rolling down her cheeks. She could no longer remember how many times she had been sad, and how many times she had imagined a reunion in the imperial capital!

"Wushuang, it's all over now, don't think too much about it. At least we are still alive now, and I can practice now."

"Brother Feng!" Wushuang finally let go of everything, threw herself into Feng Huan's arms, and burst into tears. The last time they met in the Desert City, she could barely control her emotions. Now here, the scene brought back her emotions. She couldn't hold back her emotions anymore, and she had to vent them out!

Feng Huan gently held her shoulders without saying a word. He just stood there silently, allowing Wushuang to release her sadness to her heart's content.
