Rebirth of the Urban Immortal Cultivator

CHAPTER 88

"Grab a seat."

Hearing Chen Fan's order, Third Lord, Zhou Tianhao and Master Guo all found a chair and sat down. The rest of the group had to stand behind them.

"Master Chen, we have spread the news of your return to all the tycoons in the city. Everyone is excited to see you." Third Lord said respectfully and rightfully so since the teenage boy in front of him was no longer a caster of average power, but the number one cultivator of the Jiang Bei region—Master Chen.

Nearly all the magnates in the Jiang Bei region were pinned under his thumb, and some even considered Maser Chen the equal of Tang Yuanqin in the Hu Dong Province.

"Sure, I can meet them."

Chen Fan said lightly.

"As long as we are under your protection, we will no longer fear that asshole Tang Yuanqin." Zhou Tianhao slapped his fat thigh excitedly.

"Tang Yuanqin?"

Chen Fan half opened his eyes as he asked curiously.

"Before your rise to power, Tang Yuanqin dominated the Hu Dong Province." Zhou Tianhao explained. "From his seat of power in the Jin City, he ruled the rest of the cities in his province with an iron fist. What's worse, he also tried to expand his range of power to Jiang Bei region. Of course, we had to put up a fight, and it worked. So far, all of his attempt to expand into Jiang Bei had been pushed back by us."

"Oh? Is he really that powerful?" Chen Fan asked curiously. "You have the backing of the entire Wei Family, and Xu Ao has his father-in-law. Most of the tycoons in the city had at least one capable protector, so what made Tang Yuanqin so threatening to you?"

"Yes, you are right. But that is only If everyone were able to unite under one banner." Zhou Tianhao cracked a wry smile.

Xu Ao, Baldy Liu, Zhou Tianhao... Every one of them were dominating figures in their own rights.

However, they had grown used to being the only one in charge of things and could not even bear the thought of sharing their authority with others. They were no match against Tang Yuanqin in such disunity.

"Nonetheless, Tang Yuanqin is quite a capable leader and a visionary." The Tang family had deep roots in the Hu Dong Province. His grandfather was the warlord that rose to power from Hu Dong Province, the army he commanded was at least a few thousand strong. The old man used to assist Mr. Sun in the great evolution.

"After helping Mr. Sun topple the last empire of China, the Tang Family joined the war against the Japanese and survived. The family is well connected in the Jin City and was one of the biggest families in the Hu Dong province.

"Tang Yuanqin is a very capable leader a shrewd businessman. Over the years, he had consolidated power in the Hu Dong Province and kicked the factions originated from other provinces out of Hu Dong. " Zhou Tianhao said with a hard face. "The Tangs Group had their fingers in all the industries that you can think of, but what they excelled at was transportation. Nearly all the transport fleets in the navigable waters and channels belong to the Tangs Group.

"He has both the manpower and financial advantage; therefore, even the richest man in the Hu Dong Province had to be careful around him. Lord Wu from Jiang Zhou City who attended the tournament was one of Tang Yuanqin's representatives."

Zhou Tianhao paused and heaved a sigh. Indignation and anger were written all over his face.

Chen Fan nodded.

Based on what he was told, this person was indeed a power to be reckoned with. Businessmen in the Chu Zhou City such as Zhou Tianhao simply could not compare.
