The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 555 The Strongest Person in Kyushu

"What kind of apology is required?"

Lin Chen couldn't get into this with Feng Yazhen, so he quickly changed the subject, since Feng Yazhen was his aunt and an elder.

Lin Chen opened the sandalwood box.

There weren't many items: four small boxes sealed with wax and a beautifully crafted token.

Seeing that Lin Chen was shy, Feng Yazhen stopped teasing her and explained, "Two Dragon Tiger Pills, one Great Rejuvenation Pill, and an invitation token from the Nine Provinces Association."

Lin Chen's eyes lit up; these were all good stuff.

The Dragon-Tiger Pill isn't very useful for Innate Grandmasters, but it's very useful for Great Grandmasters to improve their strength. It's difficult to refine and extremely hard to obtain.

Zhang Yun of the Divine Cloud Sect could only produce one, the entire Wang family could only produce three, and now the Liu family could only produce two, which shows how precious they are.

As a physician, Lin Chen naturally understood the effects of the Great Rejuvenation Pill, a top-grade elixir for treating internal injuries. It was said that as long as one had a breath left, one could stay alive, and even minor internal injuries could be cured instantly.

Lin Chen's gaze fell on the gleaming golden token, and he asked softly, "The Nine Provinces Association, what is that? Is it a conference or an organization?"

Feng Yazhen explained, "The organization founded by Ji Yusheng, the strongest person in the Nine Provinces, doesn't have many members, but members must meet two major requirements: first, they must be powerful and be a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm; second, they must have considerable influence in a certain region."

Lin Chen blinked: "The Uncrowned King?"

Feng Yazhen smiled and said, "That's somewhat true. It's said that the Kyushu Association will divide the world into nine regions, and then select three official members and three reserve members from each region. That means the entire Kyushu Association, including Ji Yusheng, will have a total of fifty-five people."

Lin Chen asked curiously, "Every organization has a purpose or ideology. What is the ideology of the Kyushu Association?"

Feng Yazhen replied, "Punish the wicked and maintain peace."

Lin Chen scoffed: "There are so many evil people in this world, are they all going to kill them all? Besides, in the cultivation world, with all the grudges and entanglements, if you kill me and I kill you, who is the evil one? Or is it up to them to decide?"

Feng Yazhen did not laugh: "They naturally don't care about the grudges in the cultivation world. After all, wherever there are people, there is a jianghu (martial arts world). But if there are vicious and powerful people who commit evil, they will step in. Not all the innate grandmasters in this world are good people. After all, when people obtain extremely powerful strength, they inevitably become insatiable and do many heinous things."

Lin Chen asked, "Is there any precedent?"

“Quite a few.” Feng Yazhen casually gave an example, mentioning how the Kyushu Society had killed several inhuman Grandmaster villains who had committed heinous crimes: “I believe in Ji Yusheng’s original intention. The Kyushu Society does not belong to any force, but it is a sword hanging over the heads of all villains, making them fearful.”

Lin Chen didn't comment, but instead flipped the token in his hand: "What does this invitation token mean?"

Feng Yazhen explained, "The Kyushu Association holds a meeting once a year. Those who receive an invitation token can attend and listen in. When there are vacancies in the Kyushu Association's membership, some members will be invited from among the attendees to fill the vacancies, maintaining a staff of fifty-five."

Lin Chen asked curiously, "The Liu family received an invitation and gave me the token. Does that mean I can participate?"

"can."

Feng Yazhen replied, "As long as you reach the level of a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm and have an invitation token, you can participate in the meeting. The Kyushu Association is not actually very mysterious. Most families know about it, and the Kyushu Association invites some people to participate every year, which is also a way to expand its influence."

Lin Chen flipped the token over and found a date and a phone number on the back: "Is this the meeting date? It's only a few days away."

Feng Yazhen nodded: "Yes, you can call to get the specific meeting location and related matters, and then just follow the instructions."

Lin Chen wasn't very interested, so he looked up and asked, "Are you interested in participating?"

Feng Yazhen shook her head: "I don't want to reveal my strength."

Lin Chen casually tossed the token into the box: "I'm not really interested."

Feng Yazhen asked curiously, "Don't you want to meet Ji Yusheng, the strongest person in the Nine Provinces?"

Lin Chen chuckled and said, "I don't want to. What if he doesn't like me and calls me a villain, and kills me with one slap? Where would I go to complain then?"

Feng Yazhen couldn't help but laugh: "How did you become a villain?"

Lin Chen blinked: "Don't they all call me the professional mass murderer? I've been wiping out families all the way here. I've already destroyed two families in Xijing. The next one will be the Five Dragons Sect..."

Feng Yazhen laughed and said, "This is a normal grudge. You didn't kill any ordinary people and didn't cross the line. You're not a bad person. If you really confiscated their property and exterminated their entire clan, not even sparing ordinary people, then for the Kyushu Society, you would truly be a bad person who must be killed..."
