"A sudden enlightenment."

This was the first thing Guo Tu thought of, and his heart was filled with envy.

You should know that he went through three life-or-death battles before finally breaking through to the Great Martial Master level.

As a result, they broke through so easily, and seemed to be enjoying it immensely.

It's true what they say, comparisons are odious, and there's no one to reason with about this.

Guo Tu was unaware that this was not a sudden enlightenment; Ye Chen had simply helped Zi Lan sort out the chaotic true energy within her body.

In fact, Zilan had long been at the point of breaking through the bottleneck, but there were too many impurities accumulated in his body, which blocked his meridians.

In addition, some flaws in the technique prevented him from making a breakthrough for a long time.

Ye Chen had just helped her regulate her internal energy and remove impurities, so Zi Lan was able to break through smoothly.

At this moment, Zilan also realized what was happening, feeling the surging true energy within her body, her face filled with disbelief.

Now that he has broken through to the Great Martial Master level, he should know that he had tried to break through several times before.

However, all of them failed, which caused Zilan to lose the motivation to continue striving for the next level.

Zilan never expected that he would break through like this. Recalling the feeling just now, she even felt a little unable to stop.

Thinking about it, Zilan's eyes, full of springtime joy, fell on Ye Chen.

"How are you feeling?" Ye Chen asked with a slight smile.

Zi Lan blushed slightly and said, "Thank you, Young Master Ye. I feel great."

Ye Chen nodded slightly. A Grand Martial Master was considered one of the top experts in Martial City.

Don't be fooled by the fact that there's only a one-word difference between a martial arts master and a grand martial arts master; their strength is worlds apart.

Reaching the rank of Grand Martial Master means entering the middle level in martial arts.

Their status in the martial arts world will also see a significant improvement.

No matter which faction you join, you will be looked up to.

"Now that you are mine, I will certainly not treat you unfairly."

"However, let me make this clear from the start: I don't keep idle people under my command."

"If you can't deliver value that satisfies me, you know what will happen to you."

Upon hearing this, Zilan quickly suppressed the spring-like expression on her face and hurriedly said, "Zilan will certainly not disappoint Young Master Ye."

Ye Chen nodded and looked at Guo Tu, saying, "Now I need you. Charge! Organize the Night Fiends. I don't think that will be difficult for you."

Guo Tu nodded and said, "Although a number of people died today, with the help of Grandmaster Zi Lan, we can consider it a replenishment, and it won't be difficult to reorganize."

Ye Chen nodded, then looked at Zi Lan with a strange expression.

Zi Lan was a little confused when Ye Chen stared at her, but then her face turned red again as she thought of something.

Looking away, Ye Chen touched his nose. He had noticed that Zi Lan's red pill was still there when he was combing through Zi Lan's meridians.

Clearly, he hadn't broken through the primordial barrier. Considering the experienced look on the other side, he didn't seem like a novice at all.

Were they using back channels all along? But Ye Chen naturally couldn't ask such a question.

If Zilan knew what Ye Chen was thinking right now, I wonder what she would think.

However, what Ye Chen didn't know was that although Zi Lan appeared promiscuous, she also worked as a hostess at Geku KTV.

However, despite his flirtatious nature, he always adhered to his principles.

It perfectly illustrates that I smoke, drink, have tattoos, go clubbing, go to bars, and play with emotions, but I'm a good girl.

Just then, Zilan hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but didn't. Seeing this, Ye Chen said, "Just say what you want to say."

Upon hearing this, Zi Lan suddenly knelt down in front of Ye Chen with a "thump" and said, "I have something I would like to ask Young Master Ye for help with."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen's eyes flickered slightly. In fact, Ye Chen had been considering this before.

Zilan succumbed to her motives, after all, people need motives to do anything.

A woman like Zilan, risking her life to rely on him, clearly has something in mind.

"What do you need me to do for you?" Ye Chen asked, frowning.

Zi Lan said, "I would like to ask Young Master Ye to help me save someone."

"Save people?" Ye Chen asked, somewhat surprised.

Guo Tu was also somewhat puzzled, as Zi Lan had been working for Night Fury for two years.

Zilan joined Night Fury voluntarily in the first place, and Guo Tu investigated her but found no close associates.

Whom does the other party want to save? Just as Guo Tu was pondering this, Ye Chen spoke up: "Who do you want to save? Aren't you strong enough as a Grand Martial Master?"

Zilan respectfully said, "I need to save my sister. The opponent is very strong, and my current strength is not enough."

Ye Chen looked at Zi Lan with some surprise, and after thinking for a moment, said, "I don't have time, and besides, she's your sister, not mine."

"If you want to save them, go save them yourself."

Upon hearing this, Zilan's eyes immediately dimmed, even though she had anticipated that Ye Chen would reject her.

But when Ye Chen actually refused, he was still a little down.

"Yes, Mr. Ye."

Ye Chen sensed the dejection in Zi Lan's tone and, after thinking for a moment, said, "As long as you do your job well for me, I can help you improve your cultivation."

"If Grand Martial Masters aren't enough, then Martial Kings will do; if Martial Kings aren't enough, then Grand Martial Kings will do."

"As long as you follow me, one day you will rescue your sister yourself."

Upon hearing this, Zilan's eyes immediately lit up.

Upon hearing this, Guo Tu's eyes also lit up with a burning fervor.

You should know that he has been stuck in the mid-stage of the Great Martial Master realm for two years and has not found an opportunity to break through.

Seeing that Ye Chen had broken through to the Great Martial Master level with just a slight move, it was impossible for Zi Lan not to have any thoughts.

At that moment, Guo Tu seemed to see a broad and promising road appear before him.

Ye Chen looked at Guo Tu and said, "Besides maintaining the operation of the Night Fiend organization, you have another task, which is to continue to infiltrate the Qin family."

"Keep an eye on the Qin family's every move. If anything happens, notify me immediately."

"If it comes to a critical moment, you can even step in and annihilate the Qin family of Wucheng."

Upon hearing this, Guo Tu's expression changed and he said, "If something happens to the Qin family in Wucheng, the Qin family in Kyoto will certainly not let it go."

Ye Chen calmly replied, "If it weren't for the fact that the Qin family of Kyoto has made some contributions to the country, I would have wiped out the entire Qin family today."

Upon hearing this, Guo Tu's heart trembled. Ye Chen said to destroy the Qin family, but he didn't specify whether it was the Qin family in the capital or the Qin family in Wucheng.

Ye Chen spoke again: "Alright, just do as I say."

"Also, gather some evidence of corruption and illegal activities by the Qin family of Wucheng, as well as evidence against the Ji family. I might need it later."

Upon hearing this, Guo Tu quickly cupped his hands and said, "It's Young Master Ye. I do have quite a few of these things."

Ye Chen nodded slightly, not surprised at all. After all, as the black glove, he naturally had the awareness of the black glove.

"Okay, that's all for now. Don't contact me unless necessary. I'll contact you if I need anything."

With that, Ye Chen glanced at his hand, then turned and walked out of the alley.

Guo Tu and Zi Lan stood there, respectfully watching Ye Chen leave.

Only after Ye Chen left did the two of them breathe a sigh of relief.

Ye Chen was putting too much pressure on the two of them. Guo Tu glanced at Zi Lan and his eyes flickered.

He began by saying, "From now on, we'll be colleagues. Please take good care of me."

Zi Lan smiled slightly and said, "What are you saying, Lord Sha Zun? Now that Ye Zun is dead, isn't Ye Sha under your control?"

Upon hearing this, Guo Tu immediately understood and said, "From today onwards, you are Night Lord. We will be equals and work together for Young Master Ye."

Zi Lan smiled slightly upon hearing this. Now that he was a Grand Martial Master, it was only natural for him to become the new Night Lord.

"I will need your guidance in the future, Lord Sha Zun." Zi Lan said, bowing slightly.

Guo Tu was naturally very satisfied with Zi Lan's posture, but he returned the gesture with a bow.

After all, Ye Chen had helped her improve her cultivation level before, and there were also some things he had said earlier.

Although they have no relationship now, it's hard to say whether they might have one in the future.

At this point, Guo Tu wished she had been born a girl, as the advantage would be too obvious.

However, what Guo Tu didn't consider was that with his female appearance, Ye Chen would probably kill him on the spot if he saw him.

The two left the alley together. So much had happened tonight, and they needed to deal with it to avoid leaving any evidence against them.
