Chapter 565: Elite Labor Office

Whoosh!

A gray shadow appeared and Kui Gang bowed at once, “Greetings, Sect Leader!”

He didn’t see any features, but knew his voice. Moreover, he was stunned that the Sect Leader would come in person to the Labor Office to see his master.

[That’s why dad always told me that when master came to the Labor Office, he had a huge backing.]

[Sect Leader is that backing.]

[How fortunate that father never fought him or master would’ve killed him with his strength alone.]

Kui Gang eased a breath, oblivious that his old man did challenge Zhuo Fan while he was out cold, only to be smacked back to his place.

Though his dad was too ashamed to admit this…

“Another Luo clan?” Zhuo Fan asked as if Xie Wuyue was his equal.

Shivering inside, Kui Gang sighed, [Master is godlike. He doesn’t fear even the Sect Leader!]

Though he also saw how close the two were.

Xie Wuyue was helpless. [This brat is a maverick, never giving a hoot about rules, but since I need him, I’ll wait until the dust settles and give him a piece of my mind then.] Though he wasn’t about to expose this situation to anyone or no one would take him seriously.

So Xie Wuyue bottled up all that annoyance and glared at Kui Gang, “Leave us. We have things to discuss.”

“Yes, sir!”

Kui Gang bowed and darted away in a jiffy hearing his cold tone.

Xie Wuyue said, “I want you to raise another pillar in the Labor Office. Just like the inner sect and the elites are, to such an extent that those disciples will choose this place and leave those old guys hanging. “

“Why? With just two more challenges, I will make the inner sect look useless and you can retake your authority. The cost to establish a new inner sect in the Labor Office is too big.”

Xie Wuyue smiled, “Those old timers are rooted in the inner sect. No matter how I change it, it won’t amount to anything. It might buy us time for when the Double Dragon Gathering comes but in the long run, it will still degenerate. While the Labor Office is a place no one gives a damn about, the freest. You can do anything you want and no one will tell you off.”

“A new inner sect isn’t a pet project. You need time, people and resources to pull a stunt like this. Especially resources, since even as a Sect Leader with all those oldies pushing you, you’ll hardly have the legitimate reason to come support the Labor Office. Anyone can tell dumping resources here is a waste! No one will agree.”

Xie Wuyue mocked, “Who said I’m giving you anything. You have all the resources you need.”

“You want me to pay for it?” Zhuo Fan pointed at his nose, “Why the hell should I?”

“I don’t know how you got loaded and came into wealth, even giving disciples so many top goodies, yet now you are complaining about sharing some with the sect? You’re a Demon Scheming Sect disciple right now so act like one!” Xie Wuyue snorted, feeling mighty sour, “I’d never speak of this plan if not for your deep pockets. You’re the only one who can bear this responsibility and raise a new inner sect.

“As for time, since you took just ten years to get Luo clan so high, you’re sure to get a new inner sect built in a short time as well. Regarding people, you’ll have the Labor Office to pick disciples from and I’ve also spread the word that Labor Office houses an expert that can train elites in a short time. I reckon the inner and outer disciples will flock to you. So lighten up, it’s all a matter of resources now, ha-ha-ha…”

Xie Wuyue laughed and Zhuo Fan came out of his stupor two second later with a vengeance, “You’re robbing me blind! Going Robin Hood on me, are you? That’s my hard earned capital! I can’t just take everyone!”

“Think it through. As a moneybag, don’t come crying to me. It is your contribution to the sect. By the way, the kid must’ve told you by now. Give me a set as well.”

“I’m fresh out. You’ve robbed me of everything and became a pauper!” Zhuo Fan’s face twiched.

Xie Wuyue hid a smile, feeling uplifted all of a sudden and vanished with one last line, “Kid, better make due on that set order I have for you. Since I’m covering for you, it’s time you did something for me, ha-ha-ha… “

“I’ll do something alright, kick you in the tenders. I’m doing all the work and now you want me to pay for all of it too? Frickin frassum, no one’s as dirty as you! Oh, right, this is a demonic sect, everyone here stinks.”

Zhuo Fan’s mood sank and he gnashed his teeth, “Xie Wuyue, I’ll get you for this and won’t stop untill you cry…”

…

Dang~

Under the clear moon night, Labor Office was quiet as all laborers had come back after a toiling day of work and training so that one day they may leave this hopeless hellhole.

Though those resigned to their fates, just had a peaceful sleep, doing the work like robots.

Then a clear bell ring sounded across the land and jerked them awake.

Everyone looked around, stunned. [The gathering bell? So soon?]

Kui Lang and Yue Ling were the only ones who could use it, but with them gone, who’d have the same power?

An aged voice called from outside, “Everyone is to gather at once…”

“Elder Yuan, who called the meeting? Aren’t Kui Lang and Yue Ling gone?” One laborer rushed around in panic and asked the old man.

Elder Yuan smiled, “People come and go but the camp is never without its soldiers. The two have left but someone took their place. Hurry up now, or you’ll piss him off!”

Elder Yuan went all over the place to announce.

[A new boss? Did an inner disciple get dumped here again? Two left yet another one shows up? ]

[Sigh, there’s just no rest for the wicked. I wonder if he’s any better?]

The gang rushed to the cave and the meeting place.

But the boss left them speechless. It was no senior brother or sister, but a fellow they all knew too well, Zhuo Fan.

Next to him were his two disciples, both in the Radiant Stage. The pressure bore down on the laborers and made them tense on the spot.

Elder Yuan ran to the platform and grinned, “Steward Zhuo, all are here!”

“Thank you, Elder Yuan!”

Zhuo Fan looked down on the laborers, “You are all gathered here for two reasons, one good and one bad.”

Everyone looked around puzzled.

Zhuo Fan smiled, “The bad news is, your happy days are over. Kui Lang and Yue Ling are gone and you have had around half an year of easy time. But now, I am in charge of the Labor Office and will get you to make up for those six months of lost time. “

Every heart skipped a beat, having a bad feeling.

Zhuo Fan looked to be in the 8th layer of Profound Heaven Stage but his power went way beyond. Even Kui Lang and Yue Ling showed respect.

[Can’t you see his disciples? They’re Radiant Stage experts for crying out loud!]

The fact that they were disciples to a Profound Heaven master went to show what a freak he was.

They were even more afraid of the mysterious Zhuo Fan than the hardballing Kui Lang and Yue Ling.

Just that Zhuo Fan had no interest in Labor Office so far, but now had plans to take it for himself.

Zhuo Fan sensed their fear, “Not to worry, I’m not as cruel as those two, nor will I interfere with your work. I’ll only do it if you let me. And thus we come to the good news. I am going to form an elite Labor Office here, to assist you in your plight.”
