His resolve was firm.
To prevent any future troubles, there were many matters to attend to before his departure.
Qin Tian suddenly received notification from Chu Fan, tasking him with Wang Yangyan of the Dragon Tiger Hall to jointly establish a force.
The objective of this force was to become the paramount power in Shanhai, transforming Shanhai City into an impregnable fortress, preventing any external forces or families from interfering, and unifying Shanhai City.
Only in this way could his aunt, who lived in Shanhai City, be safer.
Secondly, this location would serve as Chu Fan's starting point for expansion and development within the Dragon God Kingdom.
Under his lord's command, Qin Tian did not dare to hesitate and immediately sprang into action.
As the foremost power in Shanhai, his influence was undeniable, and his efficiency was also considerable.
In a mere three days, a paramount force named Shanhai Hall was established.
Upon learning of this, influential figures like Guan Hongyun and Shangguan Hongyu chose to participate, and the Azure Dragon Consortium naturally joined as well.
Their formidable backing instantly made Shanhai Hall the undisputed paramount force in Shanhai.
This move caused a considerable stir in Shanhai City.
Rumors and speculation ran rampant.
According to the rules of the Dragon God Kingdom, any organization or force could be established in any region, but its scale had to be controlled and could not surpass that of the War Emperor Hall.
The War Emperor Hall was always the strongest organization in every region.
Anyone who dared to dream of standing above the War Emperor Hall would immediately face its destruction.
Therefore, within the Dragon God Kingdom, the War Emperor Hall was the undisputed top organization, responsible for crucial matters such as public security and border defense.
This rule had never been broken since the establishment of the War Emperor Hall.
There had been attempts in the past to establish forces surpassing the War Emperor Hall, aiming to rival it, but those were annihilated overnight.
Yet, now, this rule had been broken.
Many in Shanhai City found it strange that Shanhai Hall not only surpassed the War Emperor Hall but that the War Emperor Hall appeared to be oblivious to its establishment, showing no reaction.
The crowd quickly deduced that the only reason for the War Emperor Hall's inaction was that the hall master of Shanhai Hall possessed even greater strength, strong enough to stand above the War Emperor Hall.
Only then would the War Emperor Hall tacitly allow it, instead of dispatching powerful individuals to annihilate it as it had done in the past.
Guess after guess, the people were curious, if Shanhai Hall was so extraordinary, who was its hall master?
Although Qin Tian was the one who created Shanhai Hall, it was rumored that he was merely the vice hall master.
The true hall master's identity was unknown to anyone except the core members.
War Emperor Hall.
After deliberation by the five Great War Emperors, they simultaneously set out for Shanhai Pavilion to discuss matters related to Shanhai Hall with Chu Fan.
Initially, the five leaders of the War Emperor Hall had planned to turn a blind eye to the establishment of Shanhai Hall, as they knew Chu Fan was operating behind the scenes.
The five of them acting together were no match for Chu Fan.
Even if they wanted to stop it, they dared not.
Unfortunately, the incident had caused considerable shock, and in this era of highly developed networks, information spread at an unimaginable speed.
Within just a day, the entire Dragon God Kingdom was aware of the matter.
Uproar began to occur in different regions, with rumors spreading that the War Emperor Hall had declined, and someone finally dared to step on its head.
The War Emperor Hall, as the overt power of the Dragon God Kingdom, was inviolable.
Therefore, the high command of the Dragon God Kingdom immediately issued an order, demanding the five Great War Emperors to swiftly eliminate Shanhai Hall and reassert the War Emperor Hall's authority, showcasing the continued might of the War Emperor Hall to the various factions of the Dragon God Kingdom.
Those who issued the orders never concerned themselves with the difficulties faced by their subordinates, only the results.
Thus, when the five Great War Emperors received this directive, they were enraged and cursed vehemently.
The Central Plains War Emperor was so incensed that he nearly stormed to the Dragon Capital to have a word with the person who issued the directive. Didn't they know who created Shanhai Hall?
Truly, standing and talking without pain.
If they had the ability, they should come themselves!
Shanhai Hall rose under their noses; if it were so easy to destroy, would they have waited until now?
With the strenuous dissuasion of the other four Great War Emperors, the Central Plains War Emperor did not go to the Dragon Capital to beat up the person who issued the order.
The five Great War Emperors were caught in the middle, in a difficult predicament.
Therefore, after a day of discussion, the five of them decided to seek out Chu Fan for a consultation.
Not asking for Shanhai Hall to be disbanded, but for its momentum not to be too aggressive, and not to step on the War Emperor Hall's toes, so as to avoid attracting too much attention.
If Chu Fan refused to back down, they would have to report the outcome to the management.
Whoever in management could not swallow their pride would then send their own people to handle it, and the five of them would simply shed the title of War Emperor and live a retired life early.
Shanhai Pavilion.
While the five Great War Emperors waited nervously, Chu Fan emerged.
He sat down with a commanding presence and directly asked, "You have come to see me about Shanhai Hall, haven't you?"
Although he had remained within Shanhai Pavilion, it did not mean he was unaware of the hottest topics in the outside world.
The Central Plains War Emperor nodded, stepped forward, and explained with a troubled expression, "My lord, it's not that the five of us cannot tolerate this matter, but that the higher-ups believe that doing so might trigger some chain reactions, plunging the entire Dragon God Kingdom into chaos. They hope..."
Before he could finish, Chu Fan waved his hand and shouted, "Stop!"
"What does the Dragon God Kingdom falling into chaos have to do with me?"
"Whoever cannot stand Shanhai Hall stepping on the War Emperor Hall's head, let them come and tell me face-to-face. See if I don't twist their heads off."
The five Great War Emperors were filled with helplessness, realizing that their visit today was entirely in vain.
It seemed impossible to make Chu Fan compromise.
"However, there is still a solution!" Chu Fan suddenly said.
The five Great War Emperors, who had already begun to give up their struggle, suddenly brightened, looking at Chu Fan with great anticipation.
"The War Emperor Hall withdraws from Shanhai City and cedes Shanhai City. Then there will be no issue of Shanhai Hall stepping on the War Emperor Hall's head, right?"
The five Great War Emperors were instantly speechless, unsure how to respond.
Chu Fan paid them no mind and continued speaking to himself, "You can consider it. If the War Emperor Hall withdraws from Shanhai City, I believe Shanhai City will be much better under the management of Shanhai Hall than the War Emperor Hall."
"After all, the Dragon God Kingdom has developed complex internal relationships over the years."
"Many influential families, relying on their connections within the War Emperor Hall, have often oppressed others."
"I believe Shanhai City will be much better under the management of Shanhai Hall than the War Emperor Hall."
After a pause, Chu Fan continued, "You are all intermediaries, and I don't wish to make things difficult for you!"
"Just relay my words upwards, tell them that I said Shanhai Hall will not be disbanded. If anyone above is unhappy, they can send their people. If one comes, I'll kill one; if a nest comes, I'll kill the whole nest."
Their objective was not achieved, and instead, they were lectured.
The five Great War Emperors, who were extremely proud in front of outsiders, not only dared not show anger but also had to clasp their fists and thank Chu Fan for not deliberately making things difficult for them.
Dragon God Kingdom High Command.
Upon learning of Chu Fan's intentions, the leader responsible for this matter, Number Five, slammed his hand on the table in anger.
"Hmph, do you really think you are the Son of Heaven? You are rebelling!"
