There was an old saying that a person’s own virtue would never match the social status and treatment they enjoyed. In this case, Yang Chengsi’s strength did not match the benefits he enjoyed.

This was an extremely dangerous situation for him!

He had already sensed the danger he was in, but he was unable to do anything about it.

In this world, which was changing, and in the age of the revival of spirit qi, not everybody was blessed with limitless strength that could continue to make breakthroughs.

He had initially just been a regular Huajin warrior, but later on, when the world changed, over the span of a few years, he made a breakthrough to become a Baodan Grandmaster. Years ago, he broke through again to become a Martial Arts Legend.

Even so, he was beginning to feel his bottleneck, and trying to make any further progress was very difficult.

Perhaps when the world progressed to the next stage of its revival, his power might be able to break through to the National Guardian level or even the Divine level. At such a time, however, the people who started out at the same time as him would have already ascended to an even higher level.

Without moving forward and improving, one would fall behind, and was equivalent to moving backward!

This was beyond all doubt!

The times could be said to be rapidly changing. It was a situation where a martial arts legend, who could originally call themselves a boss of an area and hold the top position, was no longer strong enough to do so.

He had already resolved himself to realize that he was no longer capable of holding the position of a top dog, and at this time, allying himself with a strong backer was the optimal choice.

And at this very moment, Lu Xuan, who had just shaken up the world of Cultivators in Huaxia, had appeared before him. Lu Xuan was different from the other two top powers, the Agency of Special Affairs and the Southern Shaolin.

Those two organizations were already very powerful. If he chose to throw in his lot with them, they would quickly take full advantage of him until he was spent, and it was highly possible that he would end up as a simple hired thug.

On the other hand, Lu Xuan was an individual who worked alone. No matter how you cut it, he seemed to be the best target!

Most critically, he had no choice. In his early years, he once offended someone, or to put it more precisely, he made an enemy when he was carving out a position for himself back then.

After all, his position as the Min Province Master of the Coalition of the Woods was not a position passed down by his family, but something he fought for tooth and nail, so he made a strong foe in the past.

Afterward, he was the first to break through to the Baodan Grandmaster level, and defeated this enemy, chasing them out of Min Province, and seizing full power over the Min Province Coalition of the Woods.

However, as the saying goes, the winds of fate are volatile and difficult to predict, and revenge can come swiftly.

He did not know what kind of miraculous encounter his old rival had, but they had actually broken through to the National Guardian level and was a superpower outside the province.

Just two days ago, his rival sent one of his Martial Arts Legend level subordinates to kill him. Although he finally scared off his assailant, he still received injuries from the attack.

This fight caused an unparalleled terror to grow within him. He earnestly understood that if a National Guardian level master wanted his life, there was nowhere he could run to.

Though he was a businessman, he was not just a businessman, and neither were his opponents. In the world of business, losing in a contest just meant losing some money.

However, in the world of Cultivators, losing in a contest would cost you your life.

Hearing this, Lu Xuan finally understood why Yang Chengsi had seemed to surrender himself to him as a lackey for no reason.

It was because being a lackey was not the scariest thing that could happen, but being beaten to death was!

Lu Xuan gave it some thought, as taking in Yang Chengsi naturally came with pros and cons. The pros were that he could take over Yang Chengsi’s enormous enterprise and the many connections he had developed over the years. This would shore up many of the aspects Lu Xuan was currently lacking.
