Chapter 151: The Marquis of Zhongzhou >

n, she is responsible for this post!" Hu Haiyan interrupted Zhang Xia's words.If new hires are exempt from responsibility, then with your marketing department changing leads every other day, who will..."Judge, are you itching for a fight" Xiu Hun retorted angrily.

"I can't do it, but my brother Qinglong could. I can ask Qinglong to come out and fight. With just 100,000 Blood Shadow Troops, we can easily flatten the Miaojiang!"

Although Miaojiang is indeed quite sinister, relying solely on the Shadow Gate would be very difficult to succeed. However, if the Bloodshadow Squad were to make a move, it would definitely be a matter of minutes!

The two most feared things in Miaojiang are poison and insects. Apart from these, martial arts prowess is only mediocre.

And among the hundreds of thousands of Bloodshadow Legion members, there were countless extraordinary individuals. Those skilled in poison and manipulation were plentiful.

Besides, there are people from the Xuanmen sect within the Western Frontier Medical Group. And many in the Xuanmen are masters of poison who have made their name within the territory!

"Well, with skin thicker than that, no one can stand up to you!" The judge shrugged.

"Alright!" Ling Hao waved his hand. "Get to work!"

"Got it!" Five people nodded simultaneously.

With Ling Hao's order issued, all the members of the Shadow Gate from the four major districts besides the East District moved.

Zhongzhou, the core city of Daxia Nation's central region, has been a place of contention for military strategists since ancient times!

The very next morning after Ling Hao issued his command, three thousand disciples of the Yingmen assembled and set off for a sprawling manor located in the southern part of Zhongzhou City.

The master of the estate was a marquis, a prominent figure in Zhongzhou who effortlessly wielded great influence. He had intricate connections with all factions in Zhongzhou.

He was always surrounded by a crowd, no matter where he went. Even when facing the people from Zhongzhou Cloudland, he remained composed and unfazed.

That day, the Marquis was receiving a distinguished guest in the grand hall of his villa within the estate. The visitor hailed from the Central War Department and held a high position.

"General Cheng, your presence here truly brightens the day!" The Marquis presented a freshly brewed cup of tea to the General.

"Chief Cheng, this is a bit of Mother Tree Big Red Robe that I just had someone get for me. Please try it and see what you think."

The marquis lowered himself, he was very aware of the energy radiating from this important figure before him.

Not only is he terrifyingly skilled, but he's also in a position of power. He would definitely be worth his attention.

"Hehehe, Your Excellency is too kind. It's my honor to be invited by Your Excellency," said the man named Cheng Ming as he took the teacup and smiled.

"General Cheng, your words are truly flattering. To be invited by such a distinguished figure as yourself is a blessing in three lifetimes!" the Marquis replied with a smile.

After a slight pause, he continued, "How is the general doing lately I heard a few days ago that he went to the capital. Should things there be settled by now"

"Done!" Cheng Ming gave a faint smile. "It seems the Marquis is very interested in matters of the capital city"

"Haha, General Cheng is joking. A small figure like me wouldn't concern myself with matters of the capital. I'm barely keeping up with the petty squabbles in Zhongzhou!" The Marquis responded with a smile after a slight pause.

"My lord is being too modest." Cheng Ming smiled and then changed the subject: "Lord, about that funding you mentioned last time, I wonder..."

“General Cheng, please rest assured, this old man has already prepared everything. Just give me the word and I'll transfer the funds immediately.” The Marquis raised his teacup and took a sip.

"Haha, then thank you, Lord!" Cheng Ming smiled again.

"That's right!" the marquis replied with a smile.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Just then, a hurried footstep sounded, and soon after, a middle-aged man who looked like a manager walked in with a grim expression.

"Behave yourselves!" The Lord's face darkened: "Didn't you see I was receiving guests"

"Master Hou, something terrible has happened!" the steward trembled.

"Such a panic! What decorum is there left" The Marquis's voice was stiff. "What happened"

"The Azure Wolf led three thousand disciples of the Shadow Gate into the manor, our people couldn't stop them at all." The steward swallowed hard and replied.

"Hmm!” A chill emanated from the Marquis: "What brings Shadow Sect people to my doorstep"

As he spoke, a flash of an unusual color darted across the depths of his eyes.

“He didn’t say anything else, just said that Lord Hou had five minutes to come see him, or else he would flatten the estate.” The steward spoke with difficulty.

"Bold!" The Marquis roared, "Who gave him the gall of a wolf to dare come here and flaunt his power!"

After finishing, he looked at Cheng Ming: "Officer Cheng, I'm really sorry for interrupting you. Would you like me to invite Officer Cheng over another day"

"Let's go take a look together. I want to see what Yingmen is doing here!" Cheng Ming said, then got up and walked towards the door.

"Excellent! Many thanks, Chief Cheng!" The Marquis's eyes narrowed slightly. This was precisely the outcome he desired.

In a moment, a group of people arrived at the square in front of the courtyard gate. Forty or fifty men in military attire followed Cheng Ming.

At the same time, two or three hundred men in black rushed out from all directions within the courtyard. Each of them had a menacing look on their faces, and it was clear they were no ordinary martial artists.

"Azure Wolf brothers, such a massive mobilization of troops, I wonder what this is about" The Marquis narrowed his eyes and looked at Azure Wolf as he spoke in a deep voice.

Before this, he had repeatedly conveyed his intentions of alliance to the Azure Wolf and humbled himself greatly.

But the Azure Wolf always turned a blind eye, completely ignoring him as the East Continent overlord.

Not only that, but the Shadow Gate people also raided one of his gold-plated nightclubs. At the time, it was because two fugitives were hiding in his venue and raped a hostess.

For this, he even personally called Cang Lang, hoping that Cang Lang could turn a big issue into a small one and a small one into nothing.

But the wolf didn't wait for him to finish speaking before hanging up the phone. He then brought people to surround the nightclub that night, arresting over a hundred people before things calmed down.

Since that incident, the relationship between the two parties plummeted to freezing point and there has been no further contact.

Take it away!

The Azure Wolf didn't waste time talking to him, and directly raised his hand with a wave.

Wow!

At the sound of his words, all the disciples of the Three Thousand Shadow Gate moved simultaneously, surrounding the lord's men completely.

"Be outrageous!" The Marquis said in a deep voice, looking at the Azure Wolf and rebuking him angrily.

"Azure Wolf, I respect you as a man, but that doesn't mean I fear you. You better not push your luck!"

He didn't expect the Azure Wolf to speak those words, truly infuriating him. No matter how he put it, he was a prominent figure in Zhongzhou, and to be treated this way was simply unacceptable, a slap in the face.

"What are you just standing there for, get to it!" Canglang still didn't look at him, continuing in a low voice: "Anyone who obstructs Yingmen's business is considered an enemy, kill them on the spot!"

"As you command!" The thousand disciples of the Shadow Gate shouted in unison.

Then, it's time to get down to business.

"Stop!"

Cheng Ming shouted loudly, and at the same time, a powerful aura emanated from him.

A warrior who has achieved the realm of the God of War!

A feeling of suffocation immediately washed over the people around, and they couldn't help but shiver.

And beside him, the Marquis’s lips curled into a slight smirk. He thought to himself, With this one here, no matter what reason the Shadow Gate has for coming today, they are destined to leave empty-handed!g Hao, not far away. After saying a few words, he fell headfirst and fainted on the ground, his eyes rolled back."Are you Ling Shuai!" The three of them exclaimed in unison, "You... are you Ling Shuai...
