The sea adventure was settled. However, Sun Buzhou had some things to do on his return, and preparing for the voyage would also take some time, so the earliest they could set off would be in half a month.

Chen Xiao wasn't in a hurry. After all, even if ordinary people stumbled into such a dangerous place, they wouldn't be able to find any treasures if they didn't know what they were doing.

It was already past four in the afternoon when Chen Xiao parted ways with Sun Buzhou. Just then, Han Jiuqian called, saying it was time to go to Ling Shui to meet the Dragon King.

After clarifying Chen Xiao's location, a Hummer SUV soon pulled up in front of him.

Daxiang poked his head out, grinning, "Master, get in!"

The car was custom-made and had been modified later, otherwise it wouldn't have been able to accommodate Daxiang's size.

After arriving at the Ling Shui dock, the three of them took a speedboat to the center of the Ling Shui River.

A painted pleasure boat was floating on the river. Han Jiuqian pointed at it and said, "That's the Dragon King's boat!"

Chen Xiao took a glance and saw that the painted boat was magnificent, with three floors, truly unique and ostentatious.

Such a boat would cost hundreds of millions, which showed the Dragon King's wealth.

Chen Xiao and the others boarded the boat smoothly and, guided by a servant, arrived at the reception hall in the painted boat.

As soon as the three entered the hall, all thirty-five bosses from the thirteen cities of Jiangbei were already present.

The Dragon King and Ming Wang Dian hadn't arrived yet, but they had set up a buffet dinner in the hall for everyone to enjoy.

At that moment, the bosses were gathered in small groups, talking quietly about something.

Each person's face was more or less covered with worry. Obviously, everyone knew this was a Hongmen Banquet (a banquet with ulterior motives).

Han Jiuqian said to Chen Xiao, "Brother Chen, come, let me introduce you to some bosses, they are our own people."

As he spoke, Han Jiuqian led Chen Xiao to a group of people and introduced him, "Everyone, this young brother is named Chen Xiao, and he is the underground leader of Jiang City."

A few people's eyes showed a few traces of surprise. They obviously didn't expect that Chen Xiao would be able to become the underground leader of a city at such a young age.

However, their performance wasn't enthusiastic. They just nodded at Chen Xiao as a greeting.

After all, Jiang City wasn't a large city in Jiangbei, and it was located in a corner, with always weak strength. This led to the underground leader of Jiang City having little presence in the eyes of the bosses of other cities.

But Han Jiuqian didn't care and began to introduce them to Chen Xiao.

"Chen Xiao, this is Liu Songqing, the boss of the Meng Hu Men (Fierce Tiger Sect). The Meng Hu Men, which he leads, dominates Jin City. Jin City is adjacent to Jiang City, so you two should be close in the future!"

"This is Boss Wang, he is the leader of Jiang Kou City! Boss Wang's Iron Sand Palm (Tie Sha Zhang) is extremely fierce, he is a true hero!"

"This lady is Liu Yan of the Fei Yan Men (Flying Swallow Sect). Don't look down on Liu Yan just because she is a woman, she is just as capable as any man. The Fei Yan Men controls Ba Ling City!"

"..."

Just as Han Jiuqian was introducing Chen Xiao, two sinister-looking men walked over with sneers.

Seeing these two, Chen Xiao clearly felt the expression on Daxiang's face become unnatural.

"Yo, isn't this Da Benxiang (Big Dumb Elephant)? I was wondering why you rejected our invitation. So you were mixing with this group of trash from other places. Tsk, tsk, tsk, Da Benxiang ah Da Benxiang, you are really getting worse and worse, you are really embarrassing the people of our provincial capital!"

Before he even got close, one of the men with a knife-like face began to ridicule Daxiang.

Daxiang's eyes were full of anger, and he immediately clenched his fists.

Han Jiuqian grabbed him and said, "Daxiang, Hu San is deliberately provoking you. We must focus on the overall situation and not act rashly!"

Daxiang took a deep breath, and finally obediently released his fists.

Then Han Jiuqian whispered to Chen Xiao, "Chen Xiao, they are Hu San from the east city and Zuo Tianyou from the south city. The one who spoke just now was Hu San!"

Compared to Hu San, Zuo Tianyou was a little younger, and his expression was even colder and more arrogant.

At this time, the two had already arrived, and Zuo Tianyou said coldly with an arrogant expression: "Da Benxiang, San-ge (Third Brother) is talking to you, didn't you hear him?"

Daxiang snorted angrily: "Hmph, I was wondering who was farting, it turned out to be you two bastards, no wonder it's so smelly!"

Daxiang wasn't completely mindless. At this juncture, acting rashly would definitely be unwise, but scolding people wouldn't have any effect!

"What the hell are you talking about? Da Benxiang, are you looking for death!"

Zuo Tianyou pointed at Daxiang and cursed, looking like he was about to attack.

However, Hu San stopped him: "Lao-di (Little Brother) Zuo, this Da Benxiang is going to die tonight anyway, why should we bother with a dead man!"

Hu San's words obviously had a deeper meaning.

Everyone couldn't help but speculate, could it be that these two knew some inside information?

At this time, Hu San noticed Chen Xiao next to Daxiang, and became sarcastic again.

"This brother's face is a bit unfamiliar. Da Benxiang, didn't you always bring your little leopard when you went out before? Why, have you changed your taste recently?"

Daxiang immediately responded angrily: "Hu San, if you dare to talk nonsense again, spewing shit from your mouth, I will tear your mouth apart. Let me tell you, this is my Shifu (Master) Chen Xiao!"

Daxiang's admiration for Chen Xiao was beyond words. Insulting him was fine, but insulting his Shifu (Master) was absolutely not allowed!

Hu San was slightly taken aback: "Chen Xiao? Why does this name sound so familiar?"

Zuo Tianyou suddenly thought of something and reminded him, "The scapegoat that Qi Tianhu found, isn't his name also this?"

"That's right, that's him!"

Hu San slapped his thigh and remembered.

Then he looked at Chen Xiao with an even more arrogant expression: "Boy, I heard you've been pretty arrogant lately, you're the one who tattooed words on the face of the son of the God of War, right?"

"It's me, so what?"

Chen Xiao looked at Hu San coldly and said calmly.

Hu San laughed out loud. He looked at Chen Xiao contemptuously, his face full of disdain.

"Damn, I've never seen anyone as pretentious as you in my life. The only reason you're still alive is that the God of War is too busy to deal with you. You don't really think you can escape the God of War's sanctions, do you?"

Chen Xiao sighed helplessly and said slowly: "I don't know if the God of War will sanction me, I only know that you are too noisy. If you dare to force me again, I will slap you to death!"

Hu San sneered: "You dare to touch me? Do you know what place this is? The Dragon King's painted boat, how can it allow trash like you to run wild?"

As soon as Hu San finished speaking, Chen Xiao suddenly burst out and slapped him across the face!
