One person: After starting with the academic atmosphere, I'll take down Xia He!

After defeating Gao Ning, Ma Long also landed back on the ground. This battle had consumed too much of his Qi, and he was somewhat exhausted, so he began to sway.

Xia He reacted quickly and stepped forward to support him.

"Our Longlong is so great!"

This level of skill is so high that even among people a generation above you in the industry, you'd have few rivals!

So, what are your plans now?

Hearing Xia He's praise, Ma Long felt it was all worth it. He put his arm around Xia He's neck and let her hug him.

Now he has slept with Xia He, the one who wields the bone-scraping knife, and subdued Dou Mei, the one who pierces the intestines with poison.

They subdued the troublemaker Shen Chong and tamed the thunder and smoke cannon Gao Ning.

All the madness of the Quanxing gang—indulging in wine, women, wealth, and power—fell into their own hands.

Finally, I have some help. Otherwise, trying to accomplish this great undertaking on my own would be nothing more than a pipe dream.

Oh, right!

Wow, you have so many tricks up your sleeve! They're always different!

Xia He suddenly remembered that Ma Long had just used a new move, and it was really cool!

"Um...actually, I made up all the names. They're all new each time, and I don't remember them!"

I named the moves based on their power and the amount of Qi used, which is why they may seem like many moves at once!

Ma Long scratched his head and explained that Xia He helped him sit down on a stone bench.

With the help of Dou Mei and Shen Chong, Gao Ning's injuries were stabilized, and the three of them came together to pay their respects to Ma Long.

"The three of us are willing to follow you, just like Xia He!"

Looking at the three respectful people in front of him, he no longer had his previous arrogance.

"Yeah! Very good!

I know you don't know me well yet, so there's bound to be some distance between you!

All of this is understandable, but when living in this world, one must be true to one's word and resolute in one's actions!

"A promise is a promise. As long as you don't stab me in the back, I'll treat you well!"

Upon hearing Ma Long's statement, the three of them were taken aback. They were used to the relaxed lifestyle of Quanxing and would feel very uncomfortable if they were forced to do so.

Unexpectedly, Ma Long did not do that; he only asked them not to betray him. This changed my impression of Ma Long considerably.

"Young Master Long! What do you think we should do? Should we leave Quanxing?"

"It's easy for you to join the Quanxing sect, but it's probably not easy for you to leave!"

Ma Long listened to Shen Chong's words and pondered them as well.

"It's very simple. Just announce your withdrawal. It's just that some enemies will come looking for revenge."

But our methods, hehe! We have no enemies!

Xia He and Dou Mei never harmed anyone; they simply let them wallow in their own desires and emotions.

I lent out my Qi at exorbitant interest rates, and the borrowers wreaked havoc everywhere, but I never actively committed evil!

As for Gao Ning, he does have some bad habits, but with a little maneuvering, it shouldn't be difficult to clear his name!

Shen Chong was very clear about his own position: since he had surrendered, he should make sincere sacrifices.

Get promoted as soon as possible, instead of being reluctant like Gao Ning. Even though Ma Long won't punish you now, he can't afford to be...

As expected, Shen Chong's actions displeased others, but Ma Long liked them very much.

As the saying goes, he who knows the times is a hero!

Shen Chong is adaptable, which makes him exactly the capable assistant I need!

"Yes! That's excellent!"

However, we shouldn't rush to withdraw; we need to observe for a while longer.

I want to establish a faction!

It is better to rely on yourself than others!

Nowadays, whether it's the four major families or companies, each faction is acting in its own self-interest!

No one wants to get involved in this mess and save the world from chaos!

Since no one else is available, I'll do it!

Ma Long wanted to build his own power and had lofty ambitions to save the chaotic world!

The four madmen were quite surprised, each with their own thoughts.

Xia He spoke first with a determined look: "Okay!"

A real man should make something of himself!

I support you! "

Xia He greatly admired Ma Long, believing that he was the man she had always dreamed of.

Seeing this, Shen Chong was not to be outdone: "Young Master Long!"

You have lofty ambitions!

I am deeply impressed by you, and I am willing to follow you to achieve great things!

Shen Chong is a good investor. He had long recognized that Ma Long was a rare commodity and was naturally willing to follow him.

Dou Mei, being a smart woman, immediately said, "I am also willing to follow Young Master Long!"

At this moment, only the embarrassed Gao Ning was left, cold sweat beading on his forehead!

He urged himself to quickly express his opinion, or he would get beaten up again.

"Uh... um..."

Although the goal is ambitious, it is still possible to achieve it!

I'm willing to support it!

Ma Long chuckled to himself as he saw Lei Yanpao's statement; it seemed Lei Yanpao wasn't so stubborn after all!

"Young Master Long! What are you waiting for?"

Perhaps you lack the financial resources? You don't need to worry about that!

Xia He and I both have assets worth tens of billions; she made her fortune through unexpected means.

I'm an expert in finance. Before I awakened my superpower, I was a master's student in finance at Nima University!

Therefore, you can rest assured about the funding for the force we've established!

When Shen Chong heard that Ma Long was still observing, he began to demonstrate his own value.

Upon hearing this, Ma Long was overjoyed!

Wow, that's a lot of money! Not bad at all!

Moreover, Shen Chong is exceptionally intelligent and capable, making him the perfect steward for consolidating the funds of the forces in the future!

"Hmm! Your abilities are outstanding, and I am very satisfied!"

However, this matter cannot be rushed, as the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony is about to begin.

I am determined to obtain the Tongtian Talisman. Wait until I retrieve it!

"Then you can announce your withdrawal from the Quanxing sect, and then rebuild your own power!"

Ma Long explained his reasons for hesitation.

"Oh! Young Master Long! You're also going to participate in the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony?"

Haha! With your skills, taking first place is a piece of cake, isn't it?

Shen Chong shouted with joy, very happy, and full of confidence in the power he was about to establish.

Gao Ning, standing to the side, remained silent. He struggled to take out his phone and painfully opened the Longhushan official website, where he indeed saw Ma Long's participation information!

"Young Master Long! I am also interested in the Tongtian Talisman, so I have done a lot of research on it!"

If you want to win first place through the competition and rightfully obtain the Tongtian Talisman, it will probably be very difficult!

It's even impossible!

The Celestial Master initiated the Luo Tian Grand Ritual to bring Zhang Chunan into the mountains and protect him!

Therefore, he will absolutely not allow anyone else to take the first place away!

Moreover, Lu Jin's offering of the Tongtian Talisman is very suspicious. I suspect it's a setup, just waiting for everyone in the Quanxing Sect to fall into it!

Gao Ning promptly poured cold water on the situation, which, while somewhat spoiling the mood, was not without reason.

"Hmm! That makes sense!"

However, I'm participating as a Wudang disciple, so I should be fine!

"That's true! But Young Master Long!"

I originally planned to seize the Tongtian Scroll during the chaos when the Quanxing sect was causing a ruckus at Longhu Mountain!

Now that you've appeared, we can work together from both inside and outside, and observe the situation calmly!

Hearing Gao Ning say this, Ma Long thought it made sense.

If I get tricked by the people from the Celestial Master's Mansion and really can't get first place, I still have the Four Madmen as insurance.

"it is good!

"In the meantime, we should focus on obtaining the Heavenly Scroll. Once the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony concludes, we will begin preparations to establish our power!"

Seeing that Ma Long had finally made a decision, Shen Chong stepped forward and asked.

"Young Master Long! What should our faction's name be? It needs to sound powerful and imposing!"

"Um!

I've come up with a preliminary idea, let's call it!

Salvation Palace!
