You Have Science, I Have Martial Arts-Chapter 669 - 294: Only My Rules Are Rules

The two usually engaged in both overt and covert struggles, vying for territory, but this time when Heart Evil Stream finalized the Hall Master of Profound Water Hall, they didn't choose either of them, but instead parachuted in a newcomer.

This naturally left Jin Pengfei extremely dissatisfied.

Xiong Sihai, however, had a bit more composure than Jin Pengfei and said with a calm smile, "I'll just sit back and watch. The higher-ups have stated their decision, what else can I do? Surely, I can't stage a rebellion?"

When pronouncing the word "rebellion," Xiong Sihai emphasized it heavily, clearly using it to provoke Jin Pengfei.

"Master Xiong, one can eat carelessly, but words cannot be spoken recklessly. I am thoroughly loyal to Heart Evil Stream, never with any second thought."

Jin Pengfei wasn't a fool; he knew well that with the things he had done, had it not been for Heart Evil Stream's protection, he would have died a hundred times over.

On the surface, the Golden Glory Group ran hotel and real estate businesses, but secretly it was a large kingdom of black market activities.

He not only set up private casinos but also lent money to gamblers who lost everything, resorting to unscrupulous means and even forcing honest people into prostitution, ruining countless families.

Of course, Xiong Sihai was no better, engaging in insider trading and financial fraud in the stock market, reaping vast amounts of ill-gotten gains, pushing many to lose everything and ultimately jump to their deaths.

Now both wanted the other to act, to eliminate the newly appointed person, leaving each one to enjoy the benefits.

Perhaps no one who had reached such a position in the underworld was a fool?

No one wanted to be the one to take the lead, and as they looked around, they noticed the lone ranger Chen Ze sitting with his sword, eyes closed in meditation, completely ignoring the topic.

He was a pure Martial Arts Fanatic, single-mindedly pursuing the sword, indifferent to these messy affairs. Whoever became the Hall Master didn't matter to him.

The reason Chen Ze joined Heart Evil Stream in the first place was simply that here, he could learn high-tier sword skills, nothing more.

As for the remaining 'Yin Blade Sect' Sect Leader Du Shangyang and 'Cloud Weaving Hand' Yangg Siqing, their strength was insufficient to compete with Jin Pengfei and Xiong Sihai, so they couldn't be bothered to fight.

As long as their own interests were unaffected, whoever became Hall Master was inconsequential to them.

The door was forcefully pushed open, and Ye Qingzhou, wearing a jade mask, leisurely walked into the conference hall and then unhesitatingly sat at the head position.

"Is everyone here?"

Ye Qingzhou looked around and frowned.

Opening his Divine Eye, he immediately saw the deep red blood aura swirling atop the heads of Jin Pengfei and others, each and every one of them clearly marked by 'offending heaven.'

Heaven's Will, after all, was nothing more than a collective consciousness formed by the convergence of thoughts and memories of intelligent beings after death.

Therefore, acts beneficial to the development of civilization could be called 'benevolent deeds,' and performing a good deed daily would accumulate virtue, meriting heavenly favor.

But if one committed evil daily, it would be the reverse.

Originally, however Jin Pengfei and others chose to mess around, Ye Qingzhou was disinclined to intervene as he was busy saving the world, uninterested in blacking out evil, and eliminating darkness.

Such tasks were for the local Martial Arts Association, and Ye Qingzhou had no interest in being a vigilante.

But now, with Ye Qingzhou becoming the Hall Master of Profound Water Hall, whether he liked it or not, the 'Karmic Force' on Jin Pengfei, Xiong Sihai, and others would inevitably entangle him, slowly eroding his 'Celestial Favor.'

This was intolerable.

Ye Qingzhou needed Celestial Favor to deduce the cultivation technique and to enhance his cultivation.

He was supposed to be a hands-off leader, so why should he use his 'Celestial Favor' to compensate this group of scum?

Gently tapping the desk, Ye Qingzhou said coldly, "I am here today with only one demand: from now on, Profound Water Hall must sever all its gray and black market activities, retaining only legitimate business."

"The Hall Master must be joking."

Jin Pengfei laughed loudly, his voice booming, causing pain to the eardrums of those nearby with weaker cultivation, stirring their Qi and blood.

Other than the solitary Martial Arts Fanatic Chen Ze, the other four exchanged looks with discontent expressions, thinking Ye Qingzhou was simply messing around.

How much money could be made from the legitimate business they held?

Without gray and black market activities, should all of Profound Water Hall's people drink the northwest wind?

"I am not joking."

Ye Qingzhou's tone turned icy, as his gaze swept over Jin Pengfei, Xiong Sihai, Du Shangyang, and Yangg Siqing, with his Heart Sword having completely locked onto their Qi.

"Master of Absolute Sword Hall, this might not be according to the rules."

Reluctantly, Xiong Sihai, who hadn't wanted to stand out, had to speak. After all, among those present, his black market operations had the largest capital scale, with many involving electronic scams, yielding him substantial profits each year. This couldn't be abandoned.

"Rules?"

Ye Qingzhou sneered, "Whose rules? Did you perhaps misunderstand something? Currently, in Profound Water Hall, I'm the only one who qualifies to establish rules."

"Alright, I'm not discussing this with you. Whoever has objections, step forward."

"Why must the benefactor be so aggressive?"

Unnoticed, a monk appeared in the consciousness hall. His skin shone with golden light, and his physique was strong, resembling a Dragon Elephant capable of shaking mountains.

"I am Beiye, greetings to the Rain Master's pupil."

"It's Master Beiye of the Brahma Pure Sect!"

"What? Master Beiye, one of the Northern Four Great Vajra? He's a Grandmaster powerhouse, and he joined our Heart Evil Stream?"

With hands clasped in respect, Beiye recited Buddhist Scriptures, his words eloquent like a lotus flower, and immediately a powerful yet gentle aura pressed down, showcasing his grandmaster cultivation.
