Liu Zixuan didn’t linger too long at the Willow Association, and his attitude towards the Willow Association Patriarch before leaving already represented his stance.

The Willow Association Patriarch ordered that before the martial arts tournament, no Emperor Realm experts could attack martial artists below the Emperor Realm. This order might restrain others, but it would definitely not restrain Liu Zixuan.

Moreover, even if Liu Zixuan reached the Emperor Realm, he wouldn’t care about that order.

They had already bullied the women around Liu Zixuan; he wouldn’t give face to anyone.

The same goes for the Willow Association, and even more so for the Eight Great Powers!

Hearing Liu Zixuan’s words, Liu Ruyan and the others said nothing more. They understood their own man well — once Liu Zixuan decided on something, others couldn’t sway him.

Liu Zixuan sat in the chair, cigarette in mouth, pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Third Sister, do you know where the Shi Family people are?"

"Shi Kuang and his group opened a hotel in the West City earlier. Their people are all staying there, but I don’t know about the others," Sister An said.

Liu Zixuan nodded and asked again, "Besides the people from Shi Kuang’s side, are there any other new factions or families in East and West City?"

"Yes, though I don’t know the exact number, definitely more than three. Actually, apart from my side, those forces have also dealt with Qi Liuye and the Diwu Clan. They basically want us to acknowledge their existence. You know my situation; the Diwu Clan has withdrawn from these matters and hasn’t expressed a clear stance, while Qi Liuye directly refused them."

Listening to Sister An’s words, Liu Zixuan laughed, "It seems the rules I set in the Celestial Capital back then didn’t make these people afraid at all. Since that’s the case, let’s change the rules."

"What are you planning to do?" Liu Ruyan frowned and asked, "The year-end festival is approaching; are you planning something big again?"

"It’s just a small matter. I can resolve it in a day!" Liu Zixuan shrugged, "I don’t believe these guys could be more formidable than the top ten legendary figures from back then!"

"Resolving the current chaos in the Celestial Capital in one day?" Bai Jingjing was somewhat incredulous. After all, it wasn’t just facing one faction, one family, but several!

Liu Zixuan’s lips curled up slightly, "Just watch!"

With that, Liu Zixuan picked up his phone, dialed a string of numbers, and called out.

It didn’t take long for the other side to answer, clearly surprised, "What made you think of calling this old fellow?"

"Qi Liuye, I’m back in the Celestial Capital."

The other side was silent for a moment, then the voice also became serious, "Have you heard about the situation in the Celestial Capital?"

"I know some things, so I need your help, Qi Liuye. In an hour, I want to see the people I should see in front of Yuquan Bar!"

After hanging up, Liu Zixuan dialed another number.

"Old Master Diwu, I hope everything’s well with you recently?"

Diwu Qingfeng’s tone changed, "You eventually came back!"

"Hahaha, Old Master understands me best. See you in front of Yuquan Bar in an hour."

"Okay, I’ll start arranging someone to handle it right now." Diwu Qingfeng also hung up the phone on his end.

After making two phone calls, Liu Zixuan took a few deep drags of his cigarette, stubbed it out on the ground, and made one final call.

This time, he wasn’t negotiating but issuing a direct order.

As soon as the other side picked up, before they could say anything, Liu Zixuan straightforwardly said, "This is Liu Zixuan. You have half an hour to investigate the forces and families that have risen in the East and West City in the last two months. Then take another half-hour to bring them to Yuquan Bar."

In this Celestial Capital City, people knew that Liu Zixuan knew Qi Liuye, the Diwu Clan, and Sister An, but what they didn’t know was that Liu Zixuan had hidden a group of special individuals here.

That is the Shadow Guards who only take orders from and are loyal to Liu Zixuan!

Although the name inherited from the old Shadow, the current Shadow had undergone a dramatic transformation. Its strength had long surpassed that of the Shadow from Shi Kui’s era!

After completing three phone calls, Liu Zixuan sat in a swivel chair, chuckling, "Handling matters in the Celestial Capital is actually so simple!" 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Is it simple?

For Liu Zixuan, it was merely making three phone calls, but the current situation in the Celestial Capital was far from simple.

Of course, for the three who received the calls, it wasn’t anything too difficult either.

The Diwu Clan’s withdrawal was from commerce; their real strength has always been hidden in the background. During the major reshuffling of the Celestial Capital, the Diwu Clan remained unscathed.

As for Qi Liuye, although he suffered a significant blow, he was an exceptionally cunning figure. Even after stepping down, he maintained a terrifying strength. As for the Shadow, there was even less need to mention it. One could even say it’s the most formidable presence in the Celestial Capital.

In a mansion reminiscent of a Prince’s Mansion.

Once again, Qi Liuye stood brilliantly before the group, leaving his subordinates puzzled. The master hadn’t appeared in ages; what was happening today?

Qi Liuye glanced around and said solemnly, "Bring the heads of the forces and family patriarchs newly established north of East City Royal Street to Yuquan Bar within forty minutes."

"Yes!" All responded and left in unison.

Bei Meiyin frowned and asked, "Dad, what’s going on? Why are you so angry today?"

"He’s back!" Qi Liuye said solemnly, word by word.

Inside the Diwu Villa.

Diwu Qingfeng looked at his son and said gravely, "How are those people I’ve told you to monitor before?"

"All within control," Diwu Qingrou’s father replied.

"Wrap it up in half an hour and send them all to Yuquan Bar."

"Has Liu Zixuan returned?"

"Yes!" Diwu Qingfeng gently stroked his goatee, "Otherwise, I wouldn’t have let the reclusive Diwu Clan reappear in the public eye!"

...

Shadow Headquarters!

A burly man looked at the gathered Shadow Guards and shouted, "Brothers, it’s nearing the year-end festival. Brother Xuan is here to give everyone the New Year’s money, so damn it, work hard for me! The more people you catch, the more New Year’s money you’ll get. Can you do it?"

"We can!" They shouted in unison, their voices thunderous and deafening! Such momentum was something even the disciples of large sects couldn’t compete with.

The entire Shadow was mobilized. This was also the first time they executed an order given personally by Liu Zixuan in the Celestial Capital!

In a brief moment, the Celestial Capital, which had been peaceful for a couple of months, was once again surging with undercurrents. Both the seemingly forgotten Qi Liuye and Diwu Qingfeng reemerged, and the long-forgotten Liu Zixuan had returned to this land once more!

This time, it would make everyone realize that Liu Zixuan’s name is an undefeated legend in the Celestial Capital!
