I Am Supreme

Taking in the sight of all the stolen goods, Lang Fantian began to feel slightly worried.

“Brother Yun, from now on, you can only work with us, the General Commerce League. We are sincere regarding this collaboration; we hope you don’t disappoint us.”

“The heaven-witnessed vow is already made,” Yun Yang said with a dry chuckle, “I don’t dare to violate it, even if I wanted to.”

“Hahaha…”

“We’d like to visit the Residence of Nine Supremes. Would that be convenient for you?” Lang Fantian displayed a sudden bout of interest.

Exiting the room, they saw Xiao Yushu, Gu Jiuxiao and Feng Guohai appearing simultaneously by the door. They were all chuckling in embarrassment when they saw Lang Fantian.

Lang Fantian scoffed, glaring at the three men, and pointed at each of them.

“The three of you… Very well, I’ll remember each and every one of you! Be careful now – the moment you commit any mistake, I shall punish all of you severely!”

The three men heaved a sigh of relief and chortled.

“We never make mistakes and we shall be more cautious in our words and actions from today onwards, staying out of trouble and away from you as much as we can…”

“Less nonsense, and please hurry up!”

…

Looking at the bustling construction site that was the Residence of Nine Supremes, Lang Fantian was rather taken aback.

“You’re using these common workers to build your sect?” Lang Fantian’s gaze at Yun Yang was as if he was looking at an alien.

“Yes indeed,” Yun Yang answered contentedly, “The outline is visible now, isn’t it? The progress has exceeded my expectation. They’re professionals indeed.”

“Brother, your point of view right now is problematic,” Lang Fantian spoke patronizingly, “Based on this foundation of construction, a whole area will be destroyed if your disciples were to battle with emotions when they train in the future. What can this place of yours support?”

Yun Yang answered gleefully, “I’m waiting for them to demolish the place.”

Lang Fantian looked confused.

“Don’t you have to pay for damaging public amenities? Whoever damages the place shall bear the restoration fee! They’ll have to figure it out themselves if they don’t want to damage the place.”

Yun Yang was confident in his decision.

“I know that the current conditions are limited as well but I can only build the shell now. When the number of my disciples increase in the future and the practices add up, the sect will naturally be more secure and things will hopefully flow in the matter of course.”

Lang Fantian’s heart lurched at the thought that this fellow was not taking his sect seriously. How could he develop his sect and gain the Celestial Luck Banner like this? His nearly oblivious attitude could only cause his sect to weaken and crumble, instead of flowing smoothly!

Lang Fantian grew more skeptical about the Residence of Nine Supremes’ future. In spite of it, this was what the General Commerce League would be delighted to see happen.

If the Residence of Nine Supremes could not prosper, they could only stay attached to the General Commerce League and depend on them to survive. In this manner, the league could obtain the treasured goods for a long time. On the contrary, if they shot up without a hindrance and ascended even higher than the league, what could the latter get? The basis of their current collaboration was the relationship between the strong and the weak; one side was dependent on the other. If their forces were parallel or to run in an inverse direction, there was no more room for cooperation!

Listening to what was being said, Shi Wuchen, who was behind the group, began sweating nervously.

‘I must remember to fight outside if I ever need a practice session!’

‘I shall never fight in my own sect! I must endure it even if others harass and step over me!’

‘F*cking hell, I might just go bankrupt with just one fight.’

Little Fatty Qian Duoduo sprinted over like he was flying. His plump face was thinner and he was dirty all over, with dark circles around his eyes.

“You fellows are finally back. How could you possibly have taken so long?”

Little Fatty looked utterly relieved as if he had finally found someone to continue his toil.

“We’re going out in a while,” Yun Yang said with a grin, “We’re just back to check out the progress. You’re doing very well, I’m satisfied. This is a big merit for you; record it yourself later and we’ll talk about it when you want to redeem it.”

Little Fatty froze upon hearing Yun Yang, his face long and glum.

“Boss, you can’t be like this. Are you trying to exhaust a capable man to death once you get your hands on him? You don’t trick a person like this!”

Yun Yang frowned and replied, “I don’t seem to have disallowed you from recruiting any helpers, have I? As this sect’s majordomo, you have so much power in your hands. It’s not even necessary for you to do everything on your own… It’s a must to have a team of people under you, but if you don’t look for them yourself, should I be the one building the team for you? Of course, I don’t mind it if you insist on shouldering everything on your own. I’ll most probably think that you’re a little stupid, but whatever it is, I’m not exploiting you for sure!”

Little Fatty was dumbfounded again.

‘That’s right. Why was I waiting to be equipped?’

‘I’m the majordomo. Have you seen any sect or clan’s majordomo doing everything personally? Which one of them isn’t directing a bunch of men and is only responsible to coordinate the tasks? It truly isn’t that difficult after all!’

In that moment of epiphany, he felt utterly wretched for the hardships he had gone through in this period of time.

“The choice of location is not too bad. It’s orderly.” Feng Guohai commented in admiration for the Residence of Nine Supremes’ site, “I shall stay at the valley over there from now on. It’s only ten miles away from here. No one will notice as long as I’m careful.”

Listening to Feng Guohai, Xiao Yushu and Gu Jiuxiao looked thoughtful as they scanned the sect’s address that was under construction.

While the Residence of Nine Supremes looked relatively unrefined while it was being constructed, its setting exuded an air of nobility and zest that was bubbling forth.

“We shall stay respectively on the left and right of the site from now on as well, and look out for each other.”

Both of them decided in tacit agreement and were clear that the safety of these young fellows would fall on their shoulders now. Thinking about it triggered a bout of headache. After all, the two men were true troublemakers.

Not only was the amount of trouble they caused shocking, but the quality of their trespasses was also terrifying – who would dare provoke the bearer of a Golden Celestial Luck Banner without cause?

It was fortunate that their Vice Chief was going to send more help over later. Otherwise, the two of them might not be able to protect them, keeping them completely unscathed and out of harm’s way.

Later, Lang Fantian silently left in a hurry after scanning the environment. Other than to report this to the league’s Chief promptly and verify the truth behind the matter as well as to decide on their next course of action, the reason behind his swift departure was due to the consideration that the two younger men were indeed trouble-magnets. They were the infamous Raiders of All But God and had even offended the Sacred Heart Palace. Lang Fantian had to have a solution ready for this incident.

Following the departure of Lang Fantian, the other three elders vanished as well. Yun Yang knew that they must be lingering around the perimeter but his current deific consciousness was not strong enough to detect their whereabouts. The disparity of their capabilities was too great.

However, Yun Yang felt secure, like never before.

With the Royal Saint level experts as his free bodyguards here, Yun Yang thought that he did not lack anything. What else did he not dare to do?

The availability of his fencing channel, too, prompted him to make use of it wisely.

‘Why call ourselves Raiders of All But God? Why aren’t we raiding God as well?’

‘Hah, I shall raid God as well in my next course of action!’
