Super Gene Hunting Ground

Huang Wen finished speaking, sheathed her sword, and gracefully retreated back to stand behind Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao noticed that Huang Wen’s skin was becoming increasingly pale, and her features were becoming more refined, with a faint celestial aura around her. Could it be because she spent too much time with Lan Xin?

Jiang Yun stood dumbfounded, with beads of sweat as large as beans rolling down his forehead.

If Huang Wen had not timely retracted her Sword Qi just now, his head would have been burst open by it.

Sword Qi is the transformation of Inner Strength, sharper than a physical iron sword, and could even sever ordinary iron weapons.

Yang Xiao said with a smile:

”Anyone else among you who is dissatisfied, feel free to choose anyone standing behind me for a competition.”

Yang Xiao gestured behind him, where stood Gong Yu, monks Ben Yin, Ben Guo, Ben Xun, Lan Xin, Xiao Lan, Ju Yun, along with Zhao Gang, Xiao Zhe, Long Yongjun, Zhou Qiang, Qin Yu, Deng Xiao, Feifei, Chen Fei, Chen Lu, and other masters with Enhanced Gene at the Primary Level. These people had made considerable progress in Ancient Martial Cultivation, Inner Strength, Qinggong, and Skill Cultivation Method after three or four months.

Zhou Hua and others were stunned, feeling a lingering fear inside, thinking that it was fortunate they had not resisted earlier and had promptly pledged allegiance to Yang Xiao, otherwise, they might have ended up buried like Xie Jun.

Zhou Hua and the others exchanged glances and shook their heads quietly.

Zhou Hua immediately said with a laugh:

”Boss, stop teasing us. We admit our defeat completely, both willingly and openly. I find it strange, why are Xia Luo and the others’ combat power so much stronger than ours even though we’re all at the primary level of Enhanced Genes?”

”Haha, that’s exactly why I asked you to come here. Let me introduce you to Master Ben Yin from Shaolin Temple.”

Yang Xiao pointed at Monk Ben Yin behind him.

Monk Ben Yin immediately brought his hands together, saying:

”Amitabha, Ben Yin greets everyone.”

Yang Xiao continued:

”Has Monk Ben Yin already relocated the entire Shaolin Temple here? The Genetic Evolution Level of Xia Luo and others is similar to yours, but whether in terms of speed or strength, they are stronger than you, and it’s because they have been cultivating Ancient Martial Arts with Master Ben Yin.”

”Ancient Martial Arts?”

Zhou Hua and the others were taken aback.

Yang Xiao nodded and pointed at Lan Xin beside him, saying:

”This is Lan Xin, the Sect Leader of Shenming Mountain Sect, and now Shenming Mountain Sect has also relocated here.”

Lan Xin nodded gently at Zhou Hua and the others, who had already noticed the heavenly and saintly beautiful Lan Xin without knowing she was the legendary Sect Leader of Shenming Mountain Sect, and they immediately showed deep respect.

Yang Xiao continued:

”Huang Wen was able to defeat Jiang Yun of the same realm because she has been cultivating the Ancient Martial Arts of Shenming Mountain Sect.”

Listening to Yang Xiao’s explanation, Zhou Hua and others suddenly understood, yet they were still somewhat skeptical, asking:

”Cultivating Ancient Martial Arts really grants such immense power?”

”Haha, didn’t you just test it out firsthand? The reason I was able to kill Xie Jun also significantly involved the help of cultivating Ancient Martial Arts.”

Jiang Yun immediately said:

”Boss, you called us here to witness the power of Ancient Martial Arts, does that mean you will teach us Ancient Martial Arts?”

Yang Xiao had called Zhou Hua and the others over mainly to intimidate them, so they wouldn’t act rashly. Not only could he easily kill them, but even his band of brothers could easily do the same.

Since Zhou Hua and others were newly surrendered, many of them must have had unstable thoughts, verbally compliant but not necessarily truly convinced in their hearts. Therefore, Yang Xiao needed to demonstrate their prowess to make them obedient.

Yang Xiao said with a smile:

”Of course, I will naturally give you the opportunity to cultivate ancient martial arts. Today’s visit is just an introduction. Later, I will arrange for you all to come and cultivate. Hmm, Xie Jun has just died, and some of his loyal subordinates might be dissatisfied and not really respect the work of allegiance. So, for a period of time, I’ll need you all to go back and coordinate well. Additionally, I will send some people to each city to assist you.”

After Yang Xiao finished speaking, he glanced over Zhou Hua and the others.

”Xia Luo, take 200 elites into Zhumarket City to assist with Zhou Hua’s work.”

Xia Luo was stunned for a moment, then loudly responded:

”Yes!”

Zhou Hua was momentarily stunned, feeling bitter inside, but still managed to squeeze out a smile and said:

”Good, with Brother Xia’s help, the soothing work will naturally be easy to carry out.”

Yang Xiao smiled and continued:

”Xiao Zhe, you take 200 elites into Jinzhou.”

”Yes!”

”Zhao Gang, you take 200 elites into Yang City.”

”Yes!”

”Huang Wen, you take Qin Yu, Deng Xiao, and 200 elites into Yin City.”

”Yes!”

Zhou Hua and others knew that on the surface Yang Xiao was sending a few people to assist with the work, but in reality, it was to monitor everyone. They guessed that after a period of time, the control of these four cities would completely fall into their hands.

However, that’s the way of the victor and the defeated. The situation being what it is, Zhou Hua and the others had nothing to complain about. They only hoped that Yang Xiao wouldn’t be too oppressive and would still allow them to come here to cultivate ancient martial arts.

Yang Xiao looked at Zhou Hua and others with satisfaction and said:

”Let’s gather for a meal tonight in Nanmu City. Tomorrow, you all will return to your respective cities. My request is simple, nobody causes any trouble or schemes behind my back, otherwise, don’t blame me for turning my face, and then, Xie Jun will be the example!”

Zhou Hua and the others trembled slightly and immediately replied:

”We will definitely be loyal to the boss, following the boss’s lead is paramount!”

Using a simple combat competition, Yang Xiao directly intimidated Zhou Hua and the others, a tactic that even made Xia Luo and others admit its effectiveness.

Xia Luo and Zhou Qiang rushed back to Shanyun City overnight to hand over their work.

Xiao Zhe then transferred Nanmu City’s duties to Long Yongjun.

From now on, Yang Xiao is the king who owns six cities, which are already equivalent to half the area of Kongming City, and before the apocalypse, the economy of these six cities made up two-thirds of the entire Kongming City.

That night, Nanmu City held a lively celebration banquet, and over 20,000 people split up into several locations to dine together. Xu Nanqiang even dug out dozens of boxes of fireworks from a former supermarket.

When the splendid fireworks bloomed in the night sky, everyone’s thoughts seemed to momentarily return to the prosperous times before the apocalypse.

Many people watching the fireworks in the night sky were exceedingly emotionally moved.

Yang Xiao then separately gathered Xia Luo, Xiao Zhe, Zhao Gang, Huang Wen, Qin Yu, and Deng Xiao.

”Your mission is to monitor the entire functioning of the cities, familiarize yourself with the local basic situations as fast as possible. After three months, I will recall Zhou Hua and others to participate in ancient martial arts cultivation, and you will officially take over the four cities.”

Xia Luo and others nodded, fully aware of Yang Xiao’s subsequent arrangements.

”Boss, we now occupy half of the territory of Kongming City. When do we plan to conquer the remaining Northwest?”
