Chapter 335 Hongmen
"Hongmen?"
Qin Chuan was hearing about this force for the first time, but he didn't understand what the current Tianzong had to do with Hongmen.
"Sect Master, the Hongmen's influence is mainly concentrated overseas. Even martial arts forces like the Nordic Holy Land and the Avengers Holy Land cannot compare to the Hongmen..."
Xu Yuanlong explained the Hongmen, a group with a long history spanning two hundred years.
A force that has been able to establish itself both domestically and internationally for two hundred years is comparable to some minor sects in the cultivation world.
The power of the Heavenly Sect is actually very large, and it is not just a single sect. After Qin Chuan established the Heavenly Sect half a year ago, many forces that he suppressed actually became vassals of the Heavenly Sect voluntarily.
For example, Ye Nantian, the number one martial arts master in Jinling.
For example, the Xiao family in Kyoto.
These martial arts experts, along with forces large and small, all became vassals of the Heavenly Sect.
Even after being ravaged by the Earth Martial Arts Alliance half a year ago, the Heavenly Sect remained standing and recovered its strength in just half a month.
However, the faster the Heavenly Sect developed, the more coveted it became, and the Hongmen was one of them.
At the beginning, there were quite a few powerful forces that coveted the Heavenly Sect, including the two major martial arts families of Qi and Chu.
Qin Chuan was not surprised at all when he heard about the Qi and Chu families, especially the Qi family, which had been subduing various martial arts families recently.
After the Qi family members were forbidden from stepping out of the Qi family compound, the pace of the investigation was accelerated, with coercion being used as a means of control.
It's not surprising at all that these two major families would set their sights on the Heavenly Sect.
"The Qi and Chu families are the two most prestigious families in the Dragon Kingdom. They are not only martial arts families, but also wield power. These are often the families we find most difficult to deal with."
At this point, Xu Yuanlong paused briefly, a few seconds passing between his words, before continuing, "Faced with the Qi and Chu families, the Tianzong sect at that time was utterly powerless to resist. And it was at this time that the Hongmen appeared..."
Next came the emergence of the Hongmen, which joined the Tianzong. With the power of the Hongmen, even the Qi and Chu families had to give way.
Xu Yuanlong originally thought that with the Hongmen's involvement, Tianzong could be saved. Who would have thought that the Hongmen was not only eyeing Tianzong, but also using Tianzong to make money.
As the saying goes, it's easy to invite a god, but difficult to send him away.
The Hongmen sent a half-step Divine Realm expert named Hong Sixiang, who completely took control of the Tianzong sect in less than a month and used it to amass wealth.
A few months later, Tianzong entered a period of prosperity, but it also lost its original purpose. To put it bluntly, Tianzong is now just a gathering place for a group of rich kids.
The application fee for inclusion in the clan is one million, and there will be continuous expenses thereafter.
The key point is that these rich kids are willing to spend money; a few million is nothing to them.
"Sect Master, I... am ashamed before the Heavenly Sect."
In the end, Xu Yuanlong looked ashamed.
It was his decision to bring the Hongmen into the picture, and he is also partly responsible for the current situation.
"Get up, this has nothing to do with you."
Qin Chuan waved his hand, naturally not blaming Xu Yuanlong.
After all, he had been in seclusion for half a year, and everyone thought he was dead. For Tianzong, the situation was extremely difficult. The fact that they had to resort to using Hongmen to resist those external forces was truly out of desperation.
"Thank you, Sect Master."
Xu Yuanlong expressed his gratitude.
The two entered the Heavenly Sect together.
"Quickly... tell the Vice Sect Master!" The two gatekeeper disciples immediately took out their phones and called the Vice Sect Master.
Within the Heavenly Sect, there are now many disciples, but they don't resemble a sect at all; each one looks no different from a spoiled brat.
Moreover, there were quite a few luxury cars parked inside the temple.
"Sect Master, I..." Xu Yuanlong lowered his head.
Qin Chuan waved his hand, not paying any attention.
"Elder Xu, who is this? You seem quite afraid of him?"
Just then, a woman's voice rang out.
The other person was dressed elegantly, quite beautiful, and accompanied by many people, like followers.
"He's quite handsome, but I wonder what level he's at."
The woman then turned her gaze to Qin Chuan, looked him up and down, and said with great interest, "What, do you want to be my follower? Judging from your appearance, if you become my follower, I can even let you practice the secret techniques of the Heavenly Sect."
"Insolence!" Xu Yuanlong shouted. "Hong Ying, watch your words!"
"Elder Xu, are you getting angry with me now? My father is the Vice Sect Master of the Heavenly Sect!" The woman named Hong Ying became somewhat annoyed.
Clearly, she has always been domineering within the Heavenly Sect, and doesn't even put Elder Xu Yuanlong in her eyes.
There was no other way; the martial arts world revered martial prowess, and Xu Yuanlong's strength wasn't particularly high, especially since Hong Ying's father was a half-step Divine Realm expert.
"Have your father come over and kneel down," Qin Chuan said calmly.
When these words were spoken, many people wondered if they had misheard.
"What...did he say?"
"Should we have Vice Sect Leader Hong come over and kneel before him?"
"My God, what audacity! Does he think he can act with impunity just because Elder Xu is backing him up?"
"..."
For a moment, everyone was filled with disbelief.
"You bastard, how dare you disrespect my father..." Hong Ying roared in anger.
But he hadn't finished speaking.
boom!
A loud bang.
Hong Ying immediately knelt on the ground. She felt an invisible force, like a huge rock, pressing down on her.
"Ants!"
Qin Chuan didn't even glance at Hong Ying.
Hongmen?
Perhaps it is a powerful force, not even as great as the Norse Holy Land or the Avengers' Holy Land, but in his eyes, what difference is there between it and an ant?
Even if the Hongmen has a god-level expert, Qin Chuan will still kill him without hesitation.
At this time.
Inside the Heavenly Sect, in an extremely luxurious room.
This room has clearly been renovated; it's extremely luxurious.
The deputy sect leader, Hong Sixiang, was sitting in a boss's chair, smoking a cigar, with his feet on the table, looking extremely comfortable.
dong dong dong...
A knocking sounded suddenly.
"Teacher, something terrible has happened..."
The person who entered was Hong Sixiang's last disciple, and he had a hint of anxiety on his face.
Hong Sixiang remained unfazed, showing no sign of concern, and casually asked, "What is it?"
The disciple who had closed the gate took a few steps closer and said urgently, "I just received a call from the gatekeeper disciple, saying that..."
He swallowed hard, composed himself, and continued, "The sect leader has returned."
"uh-huh?"
Hong Sixiang's expression changed visibly, but he quickly regained his composure.
"You mean, the legendary Qin Emperor has returned?"
