Xiao Yu led them to the entrance of this base step by step, then stood there and reanalyzed the map for them.

Soon after, everyone confirmed that they were standing in front of the base gate. Upon confirmation, Zhang Dahai instructed Commander Wang accordingly.

This place couldn’t be opened up by manpower alone; at least an engineering vehicle was needed to break through the soil. Therefore, Zhang Dahai had Commander Wang prepare such vehicles. These things belonged to the army's engineering team, which made them readily available for use.

Furthermore, it was now pitch dark outside even though there were streetlights, making the place appear very dim and gloomy. Consequently, a lighting system needed to be installed here.

"Comrades from the People's Liberation Army, I am in charge of this construction site and need to speak with your leader..." Just as Xiao Yu and his team were conversing at that spot, someone’s voice was heard coming from afar.

Xiao Yu turned around and saw through the dim light that the speaker was Yang Qiu.

It turned out that in the morning, Yang Qiu had already called Engineering Department to resume construction. However, when he woke up just now while having breakfast, he received a call saying that his property development project had been surrounded by soldiers.

The originally drowsy Yang Qiu instantly became alert upon hearing this news. Considering the many incidents that occurred on his site recently and how resuming construction had cost him over ten million yuan in losses, being besieged now by a group of soldiers who even drove away their workers was too much for him to bear.

After hanging up the phone, Yang Qiu didn't bother with washing up but hurriedly came straight here. When he arrived and saw that everything was tightly sealed off, his mood soured.

Zhang Dahai nodded at Commander Wang when he saw Yang Qiu; since this place belonged to Commander Wang's jurisdiction, it would be better if he handled the situation!

Upon seeing Zhang Dahai’s nod, Commander Wang understood what was required of him. Besides, only he could properly handle this matter here. Thus, he turned and walked over towards Yang Qiu.

Half an hour later, Commander Wang returned and told Zhang Daha that everything was taken care of.

As to how it was done, Zhang Daha did not ask, and neither did Commander Wang elaborate, as these were trivial matters for them.

However, today was already too late. Even if the equipment arrived now, nothing could be accomplished today; everything had to wait until tomorrow. Thus, Xiao Yu and Zhang Daha left after a short stay.

Zhang Daha returned to his unit, but it was different for Xiao Yu since there was still a gathering being held at the villa. Although he wasn't involved in the activities, with his cultivation level now known by Wang Tao, something could happen. Hence, Xiao Yu went back to the holiday resort.

When Xiao Yu arrived at the holiday resort, Wang Haiyang was pacing back and forth at the entrance, looking very anxious, and occasionally glancing into the distance as if waiting for someone.

Xiao Yu's taxi parked in front of the resort entrance. Upon seeing Xiao Yu get out of the car, Wang Haiyang instantly wore an excited expression; he had been waiting here for three hours already. Although Xiao Yu had his phone number and could call him, he didn't dare to do so and could only wait.

Moreover, even as he waited anxiously here, he couldn’t complain; after all, this task was ordered by their family head Wang Haichuan. Furthermore, today the clan's senior elder had also arrived at the holiday resort.

Currently, it could be said that their family’s top-tier forces were concentrated in this holiday resort—two cultivators who had reached the later stage of the Breath Condensation Realm. Usually, one would find it hard to see even a single such person, but now there suddenly appeared two. Therefore, everyone attending the gathering was gathered inside these two cultivators’ rooms.

Many attendees were in the later stages of the Breath Condensation Realm, so if they could learn some experience from these two people, it would be an endless benefit for them.

This was also why when such major families held gatherings, everyone came to participate; it was rumored that there were cultivators who had reached the later stage of the Breath Condensation Realm within these big family clans. Although one didn't always get to see these late-stage cultivators, after each meeting they would share some insights on cultivation.

With two late-stage cultivators appearing in the Wang clan this time around, everyone attending felt a sense of inexplicable excitement. Especially since their senior elder had arrived; he was an established late-stage cultivator and not someone like new-comer Wang Tao who could be compared to him.

"Master Xiao, you're back! The family head asked me to invite you over!" Upon seeing Xiao Yu, Wang Haiyang said excitedly.

"Oh, is Patriarch Wang looking for me" Upon hearing Wang Haiyang's words, Xiao Yu was surprised and asked. He couldn't figure out why Wang Haicun wanted to see him.

After hearing Xiao Yu’s question, Wang Haiyang shook his head; he didn’t know the reason either.

Seeing that even Wang Haiyang was clueless, Xiao Yu gestured for him to lead the way. Although Wang Haiyang had been waiting impatiently, he still dared not slack off in any way.

When they arrived at one of these villas, many elderly people were there. On the sofa sat two elders whose bodies exuded powerful fluctuations of Heavenly Earth Yuanqi, occasionally chatting with the Qimen cultivators present for the gathering.

Xiao Yu recognized one of them; it was Wang Tao, an elder in the later stage of Qi Refinement. The other elder he had never seen before, but the latter’s aura was much stronger and more refined than that of Wang Tao's.

The first impression Xiao Yu got from this elder was that he seemed significantly older than Wang Tao. But upon closer inspection, these two elders appeared to be around the same age, or perhaps even younger in comparison to Wang Tao.

"Daoist Brother Xiao, you're back! Come here, let me introduce you; this is my elder brother, Wang Xiong!"

Wang Tao, who was talking to others, quickly stood up as soon as he saw Xiao Yu enter from the door and introduced him to the elderly man sitting next to him.

The elder seated beside Wang Tao also got up upon hearing his introduction.

"Greetings to both Daoist Friends! I wonder why you are seeking..." Hearing Wang Tao's words, seeing this elder exuding thick, obscure Yuanqi fluctuations from within his body, Xiao Yu realized that the one looking for him wasn’t Wang Haicun but rather these two individuals.

"Daoist Brother Xiao..." Elder Wang Xiong bowed slightly and greeted him back.

Although Wang Xiong appeared very calm on the surface, deep down he was far from tranquil. In front of this Xiao Yu, he felt like an ordinary person.

If not for the faint pressure he felt in his heart when looking at Xiao Yu, he would have simply considered Xiao Yu an ordinary person. After all, at this level, any feeling arising wouldn't be without reason. One had to understand that once one reached Wang Xiong's realm, illusions or mistaken feelings were impossible.

At this moment, the entire villa was so quiet that a needle dropping could be heard. These people who had been laughing and chatting with the two elders now looked shocked. During today’s midday banquet in the hall, they had already sensed that this young man was no ordinary person.

But seeing the Great Elder of the Wang Family, who had entered the later stages of Qi Condensation after twenty years, react like this made them feel that this young man was even more extraordinary than their imagination.

At the same time, they vaguely guessed why Wang Xiong appeared now. When they thought about it, they all wore an understanding expression; no wonder Wang Xiong hadn't shown up on the first day but suddenly appeared in the afternoon—it was because of this young man.

Among them, only Li Shiqing looked smug. He knew that Xiao Yu had been brought here by him and that it was also why he brought Xiao Yu—during previous gatherings, few people from the deep sea came, to the point where they were ignored. Therefore, once he learned that Xiao Yu was a late-stage Qi Condenser, he immediately brought him.

Leaving these people aside, even Wang Haichuan didn't know why his father had come down the mountain; after all, his father hadn't left the mountain for ten years, trying to break through to the later stages of Qi Condensation. But in the afternoon, without informing him, his father came here directly.

Wang Tao and the others didn’t reveal Xiao Yu’s identity because they hadn't obtained his consent; due to their different personalities, revealing it might backfire. Thus, before obtaining Xiao Yu's agreement, even Wang Haichuan wasn’t told.

In the afternoon, when Wang Haichuan saw how respectfully Wang Tao treated Xiao Yu, he thought Wang Tao was interested in Xiao Yu’s dual cultivation identity. But after seeing the elders' reactions, he realized it wasn't just about that.

If it were solely because of Xiao Yu's dual cultivation identity, having Wang Tao alone greet him would already be sufficient respect. However, his father also appeared now. Initially, he thought his father hadn’t come down for years and wanted to check things out, but it was clear that his father came solely because of Xiao Yu.

What puzzled him was why the two mainstays of the Wang Family would leave their posts just because of Xiao Yu. Even if other families’ late-stage Qi Condensers visited the Wang Family, only one late-stage cultivator would suffice for a reception unless there were important matters. Yet now, due to Xiao Yu, both late-stage Qi Condensers from the Wang Family appeared.

Just who was this Xiao Yu This was the only thought in Wang Haichuan’s mind at present. No matter how he pondered it over, he couldn't imagine that Xiao Yu was a late-stage Qi Condenser, let alone an expert on the verge of breaking through to the peak stage.

Everyone in the room stared at them three but no one spoke; they were all dumbfounded. They didn’t know who this Xiao Yu was and why he warranted two late-stage Qi Condensers from the Wang Family appearing which stemmed from their parents being business rivals, making the two young men enemies by extension.Although Zhejiang businessmen formed a community, conflicts of interest were inevitable among ind...
