After lunch at Chen Lishan's place, it was about 2 PM. Zhang Che left in a hurry, not joining them for the rest of their activity.
It couldn't be helped; Chen Lishan's colleagues were too pa.s.sionate, especially the women. That short-haired beauty called Yu Manli was especially noteworthy. She was like a policeman trying to look into Zhang Che's background, wanting to dig up all the information.
The thing was that his Sun Che persona had no background to speak of! Zhang Che himself was finding it difficult to come up with an answer to her questions!
Really, being too outstanding of a man had its woes…
In the underground carpark, the elemental queen was still engaged in an intense battle online with her opponent. Seeing Zhang Che returning, she couldn't help but look up and asked, “Eh? Master, you're back so soon?”
She had originally thought Zhang Che might only return that night.
“Mmm. We still have to go to the beast world. Of course I'm coming back after lunch.”
Naturally Zhang Che wouldn't say that he couldn't handle the women's enthusiasm, and the men's gazes toward him had turned extremely bitter, looking like they only dared to be angry inside and not express it. It truly made him feel awkward.
Soon, Dijiang-hao rose into the sky, speeding off toward southwest Hua Xia.
This time, Zhang Che's destination was Yuanshan City in southwest Hua Xia. It was around thirty thousand kilometers away from Bei Du. Even with Dijiang-hao's speed, the journey took four hours, including take off and landing.
When Zhang Che arrived, it was close to 7 PM. The sky had started to turn dark.
Zhang Che parked Dijiang-hao at the airport, then rested for a night in the city with the elemental queen. The next morning, when the sky had just started to brighten up, the duo quickly went to the spatial gateway a few dozen kilometers away.
This time, Zhang Che didn't pilot Dijiang-hao over there directly. As a result, they didn't draw the crowd's attention like they used to. It was much more peaceful.
Zhang Che had this trip all planned out. With Yuanshan City as the starting point, he'd sweep through multiple beast worlds nearby, striving to break through to Tier Seven beastmaster within half a month.
After all, it had been a little too long since he advanced to Tier Six. His strength was severely limited. It would be very easy to get into danger if he was facing some powerful enemies.
By the time he advanced to Tier Seven, Huang Juyun should have already decided on the new location of the herbal research inst.i.tute and relocated it south. At that time, Zhang Che only needed to fill the newly cultivated land with all kinds of spiritual herbs and the matter should be considered done.
As for the problems they'd run into during the relocation, Zhang Che really wasn't knowledgeable enough in that regard to help them out. In any case, with the Huang family handling it, there was no need for him to worry.
Zhang Che only needed to do his duty for the most important aspect!
After crossing the spatial gateway, Zhang Che and the elemental queen headed northwest and walked out of the safety zone. Only then did he summon out the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon. The two got on the flying mount, and disregarding the exclamations of the nearby beastmasters, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon took off into the skies and quickly disappeared from the sight of the crowd.
The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon truly drew too much attention. Every time he appeared in front of others, he would cause a huge commotion.
It couldn't be helped. A dragon-like subdued beast was flashy enough, let alone one that looked like its body was a sculpture crafted from sapphire.
As a result, the large factions in southwest quickly found out that Zhang Che from Bei Du was here.
A low-tier beastmaster exited the spatial gateway in a hurry. He quickly walked to the business district at the side and headed straight into a beast card shop. He didn't go to the main hall, however. Instead, he went straight to the office area.
Without saying a word, this beastmaster knocked on an office door and pushed it open, walking in.
“Zhang Che has come to Yuanshan City.”
Of course, news of Zhang Che arriving at Yuanshan City had already been found out by interested parties last night. However, there were quite a number of spatial gateways nearby. They just didn't know exactly which one he was going into.
It was only now that Zhang Che had crossed a specific spatial gateway together with the elemental queen that they finally got a confirmation on his position.
The news sent back by that low-tier beastmaster was quickly pa.s.sed on through several layers before finally reaching a large city in southern Hua Xia.
He Luotu sat in the main seat in a conference room at the highest level of a thirty-story building. Sitting below him was a group of men and women, every one of them emitting powerful auras. These people were all high-tier beastmasters.
Their gazes toward He Luotu were fanatical, not concealed at all. They wouldn't hesitate for a single moment even if He Luotu told them to kill themselves.
These high-tier beastmasters were the top executives of the Freemason organization. He Luotu had spent much time and effort gaining control over them.
Despite having a strange crystal with mysterious effects embedded in his forehead, He Luotu had exhausted all of the demonic energy he had finally harmonized and stabilized in his body in order to control these high-tier beastmasters. But, it was all worth it.
At present, the Freemason organization had expanded across the whole of southern Hua Xia. The beastmasters he had direct or indirect control over had reached a terrifying number. If they wanted to, they could cause ma.s.sive chaos overnight!
Even so, He Luotu and the other clones of the supreme demon weren't aiming to create chaos. Instead, they wanted to gain control over a sufficiently huge amount of beastmasters. When the time was ripe, they'd head into the beast world and set up a formation, then open a tunnel connecting the beast world and the demon world.
However, some beastmasters were impossible for them to control. Their future achievements would surely be incredible as enemies of the demon world.
The supreme demon clone in control of He Luotu's body knew from his stolen memories that Zhang Che didn't seem to be vulnerable to mental attacks, and his growth was astonis.h.i.+ngly fast. He would definitely become a pillar of the beastmasters.
It would be best to pluck such people out while they were still seedlings!
The Freemason organization's people had no chance to make their moves when Zhang Che was in Bei Du. Now that he had actually come to Yuanshan City in the southwest, which happened to be an important location for the Freemason organization's development, where they had built up influence to a certain degree. They'd probably have a good chance at taking down Zhang Che.
He Luotu looked at the people sitting below him. His gaze settled on three people for a moment, then said indifferently, “You three go make preparations and head over to Yuanshan City immediately. Kill Zhang Che no matter that. After that is done, you'll be in charge of everything over in Yuanshan City. I only want one result, and that is Zhang Che's death!”
The three chosen by He Luotu with his gaze stood up simultaneously, their own gazes incredibly fervent. They replied in unison, “Please rest a.s.sured, President! We'll definitely bring Zhang Che's head back!”
