Martial Ascent to Divinity-Chapter 589 - 570: Singularity

Although there is risk, this risk is acceptable, and besides, who dares to take action against the nephew of the Zhao Family Patriarch?

At most, admit a mistake, lower your head, it doesn’t matter, it used to be like that often.

Gao Tianlong thought it over and decided just like that.

The sound of knocking on the door was heard.

"President Gao." Rao Mingxian’s voice sounded.

Gao Tianlong immediately stood up, took the initiative to open the door, and said with a smile: "Rao, my old friend, you are indeed a valued guest, please come in."

Gao Tianlong looked at the young Rao Mingxian and felt somewhat envious.

Although the Rao Family has declined, Rao Mingxian went to the Great Battlefield once and his power greatly increased. It wouldn’t be surprising if the Demon Worship Church granted him the Grandmaster Ascension Magic Potion.

By then, he would become a Grandmaster of the Demon Worship Church, considered a mid-to-high ranking member.

In the future, when Blue Star is occupied, they would have to rely on him to some extent.

When Rao Mingxian saw Zhao He before, he was respectful, bowing his head.

Now, when he saw Gao Tianlong, he just smiled slightly, standing tall.

The two walked to the black leather sofa and sat down together.

Gao Tianlong personally made tea for Rao Mingxian.

The two talked in low voices about matters concerning the Demon Worship Church and the Zhao Family.

Finally, Gao Tianlong said: "Rao, my old friend, it’s not that I’m nagging, it’s just that today from Xiong City, they asked me again about the ’Six Volumes of the Eastern Monarch’. I heard that before, the second brother assigned to you to find them, so I had to look to you, please don’t mind."

Rao Mingxian smiled and said: "We are all working for the Zhao Family, how could I blame you? However, as you know, the significance of the ’Six Volumes of the Eastern Monarch’ is unimaginable, comparable to a Starry Sky Divine Artifact, not easy to find."

The two discussed the ’Six Volumes of the Eastern Monarch’, exploring various possibilities.

Suddenly, Gao Tianlong was stunned.

Rao Mingxian looked at him in confusion.

Gao Tianlong revealed a mysterious smile and said: "I know of a place that you certainly haven’t searched."

"What place?"

"The Broken Sword, Saint Zhao’s Broken Sword."

Rao Mingxian contemplated and said: "I have indeed heard of it."

"If it weren’t for that old immortal coming to find me, I wouldn’t have thought of it! Tell me, could that Broken Sword be related to the ’Six Volumes of the Eastern Monarch’?"

"Quite possibly!" Rao Mingxian was intrigued.

Gao Tianlong said: "I’ll call my eldest cousin tonight to see what their attitude is. If they agree, we’ll go get it."

"This... might not be appropriate; I heard the Broken Sword is extremely significant, as Saint Zhao personally gave it to that person."

Gao Tianlong pondered for a moment and said: "Going directly to ask for it isn’t good, let me think... if the Xiong City Museum wants to hold a special exhibition for my grandfather, and the museum and Zhao Family together want to borrow it, claiming it’s to tell the story of the Broken Sword to the children of Xiong City, what do you think?"

"Impressive, President Gao!" Rao Mingxian gave a thumbs up.

Gao Tianlong laughed heartily.

After sending Rao Mingxian off, Gao Tianlong called the Zhao Family eldest brother, Zhao Cong.

"Eldest cousin, it’s me." Even over the phone, Gao Tianlong still maintained a respectful posture, bowing his back and speaking humbly.

"Hmm."

"Grandfather’s Broken Sword is still with Zhao Lianshuo in Rucheng, is there a possibility it is related to the ’Six Volumes of the Eastern Monarch’?"

"Hmm... quite possible."

"We can reclaim it under the guise of a museum exhibition to Zhao Palace. I’ve checked, he is just a retired old man, he can’t make a fuss."

"I’ll send someone over tomorrow, and deliver a substantial gift in exchange." Zhao Cong said.

"Eldest cousin, you’re so thorough, I’m still lacking in experience." Gao Tianlong said with a smile.

"That mine, is it related to Zhou Leng?"

"A bit related, he utilized Martial Artist privileges to get shares, if he can take it, we can too. He’s all alone, not even sure if he’ll have descendants, what does he need so many mines for? Our Zhao Family is large, with many descendants, of course we need to take more. Moreover, that mine has already been divided among several families, taking it back wouldn’t look good."

"Transfer the money for acquiring the shares to his account early to prevent conflicts over small matters."

"Rest assured, I’ll settle it tomorrow. By the way, can his Martial Arts be continued?"

"If his Martial Arts could continue, would he still need to rely on foreign power?"

Gao Tianlong smiled and said: "I understand, rest assured all will be handled properly."

After finishing the call with Zhao Cong, Gao Tianlong was still not at ease. As he didn’t have first-hand information, he habitually called his sister Gao Tianfeng, but since she was in flight mode, he left a message.

After a long time, Gao Tianfeng called back, her voice lazy.

"Brother."

"How should the matter with Zhou Leng be handled? It’s even alerted the demigods of the Five Clans, and our family mine is somehow related to Zhou Leng."

"Everything that should be dealt with will be dealt with. I’ve already let go of a manager and two staff from the media company. According to the information we’ve received, the leader of the media at the forefront has been removed. From top to bottom, Changda is being entirely replaced, implicating Zhou Leng’s city-level patrol office, inspector’s office, and overseer team, most key figures have been dismissed, and several expelled from the Martial Mansion."

Gao Tianlong took a sharp breath and said: "Is it that serious? I thought a warning would suffice."

"I heard from the elder brother that the upper levels had actually discovered internal conflict issues but were heavily obstructed, as even the top is not unified; they must consider all aspects. This time, with demigods appearing, the Five Clans issued inquiries, the impact was too great, and they took the opportunity to decide to investigate strictly, keeping the action in the dark to avoid being manipulated by lower layers."

"Ah? Will this impact us?"

"Not really, it’s essentially just another round of replacement, in essence, nothing changes."

"What about Zhou Leng’s future status?"

"I hear people saying that with his Martial Arts severed, he can’t walk the Martial Path anymore. But on the scholarly path, his experience is a double-edged sword, the higher-ups don’t like such high-profile displays, they need stability. So, the best treatment is for him to go to the United Front Department, as he’s been friendly with all the clans, it’s just right for him to go there."
