Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal

Star Universe Center Building.

Su Chiming had just met with the chairman of Mount Yu Electric Power Group and arranged for Su Huaigu to take on a position within it, he then rubbed his brow with some fatigue.

He had been so busy recently that he felt like he was back in the early days of Bu Zhou Group, and he barely had a moment to rest.

His elderly body was really struggling to keep up.

However, thinking about what he was doing at the moment quickly reignited a remarkable spark in his eyes.

Why are noble families called noble families?

It's because they have deeply infiltrated their influence into every corner of the local livelihood.

Grain, oil, salt, clothing, food, housing, transportation, they had it all in their hands.

That's why any external force that dares to act against them will face the reprisal of the entire city, and even the entire province's various industries.

Subtly disobeying orders, passive resistance, and marginalization are child's play.

At the lightest, they could mobilize tens of thousands of workers to take to the streets in protest.

At the worst, they could incite riots, or even break away from control.

Right now...

What Su Chiming was doing was the first step toward becoming a noble family.

At this moment, Lin Xia came over to report, "Chairman, Young Master Su had Lei Yun call to borrow the meeting room on the sixth floor. But you are supposed to meet with the leader of Xintai Gas and their team there this afternoon..."

To this day, within the Su Family, there was only one person who did not need his name mentioned and could simply be called "Young Master Su."

That was Su Alkaid.

And upon hearing the name Su Alkaid, Su Chiming didn't hesitate for a second, "My affairs can be postponed. Free up meeting room one for Alkaid."

"Yes."

Lin Xia replied and quickly went to carry out the instruction.

Su Chiming quickly flipped through the information brought by the Yue Family.

It contained all the information about the senior management team of Xintai Gas.

He was considering who to appoint to oversee the normal operation of Xintai Gas.

Soon, a knock on the door was heard.

Immediately after, Su Chixin entered.

Seeing him, Su Chiming raised his head, "Have you dealt with the matters at the Water Resources Department?"

Su Chixin nodded, "They were very cooperative."

But then, a hint of concern flashed across his eyes, "Do you think... What exactly is Alkaid doing?"

"Isn't it obvious?"

With a smile, Su Chiming said, "He's making our Su Family… a noble family."

"But... this approach..."

"What are you worried about?"

Su Chiming pointed upward, "The Royal Family?"

Then he continued, "Since when did becoming a noble family require the Royal Family's consent for promotion? Would that even be called a noble family?"

Su Chixin was slightly taken aback.

"I've realized many times that it's not because of the Royal Family that Dayu Country exists, but rather it's because the noble families have agreed to the Royal Family's rule of this land that Dayu Country was born."

He leaned back in his chair, "Although I don't know what Alkaid is doing, I do know the influence a nineteen-year-old Martial Saint possesses."

He laughed, "Controlling Tian Nan, is not overstepping."

"Nineteen-year-old Martial Saint..."

Hearing his words, Su Chixin couldn't help but feel a sense of unreality.

A Martial Saint!

He had wasted his life in the Martial Master Realm, now an old man with no hope of becoming a Grandmaster, but Alkaid...

He had broken through human limitations, ascending to the transcendent level of Martial Saint...

It was truly unimaginable.

"Go, take care of the matters at hand. And be bold in doing so. If anyone dares to passively resist your orders, don't be polite. Deal with them directly if you can, and if you can't, call Zhang Tianji or Yue Xingzhou!"

Su Chiming's eyes seemed to be ablaze, "To truly advance to a noble family, it's impossible not to take risks, not to shed blood! What we really need to do is to avoid our own bloodshed as much as possible, to seize the opportunity Alkaid has given us with the smallest sacrifice, and to soar!"

After hearing this, Su Chixin solemnly nodded.

Indeed!

If the Su Family wanted to achieve a class transition, how could there be no bloodshed?

To be indecisive, and to fear the beginning and the end, how can one succeed?

"Chairman! Chairman!"

At this moment, an urgent voice came from outside.

Following that, Su Hua hurried in, gasping, "Chairman, Lv Jianfeng is here."

Continuing quickly, he added, "And with him are Jiang Sheng and Li Cunyu."

"Lv Jianfeng!? Jiang Sheng!? Li Cunyu!?"

Upon hearing these names, Su Chiming immediately stood up, "Lv Jianfeng, the adopted son of Lu Family's Martial Saint Lv Tianhe!? Jiang Sheng of the grandmasters from the Jiang Family? And Li Cunyu, the younger brother of the head of the Li Family!?"

"Yes."

Su Hua affirmed gravely.

The Jiang Family and Li Family were one thing.

But the Lu Family...

That was Dayu's number one noble family!

Its Family Head was also the very existence that controlled the Dayu National Congress.

Martial Saint Lv Tianhe was a military powerhouse, an admiral in the army and the commander of the Third Group Army, wielding one-sixth of Dayu's military power.

This was the entity in Dayu Country that could stand toe-to-toe with the Liao Family.

Over the past hundred years, five of Dayu Country's fourteen major noble families have been extinguished. Others, like the Yue Family and Li Family, have been so pressured that they struggle to assert influence outside the provinces they have long operated in.

But no matter how much the Royal Family suppressed them, the Lu Family has always been Dayu's number one noble family, the clear standard-bearer for all the noble families to rally around.

And now, Lu Jianfeng, the adopted son of the Martial Saint of the Lu Family, Lu Tianhe, who was capable of representing both the Martial Saint and the entire Lu Family's will, had personally come to their Bu Zhou Group!?

"Quick! Let's go out to greet..."

As Su Chiming spoke, he was ready to personally welcome them.

But just as he took a step forward, he seemed to remember something and stopped.

"Did they mention what this is about?"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"No, they went straight to the first conference room on the sixth floor."

Su Hua said.

"The first conference room."

Su Chiming pondered, then thought back to the phone call Alkaid had made not long before.

Gradually, he seemed to have realized something.

Then, a smile appeared on his face.

"Good! Good! Good!"

After he repeated the word "good" three times, his mood greatly lifted, and he couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Haha! I underestimated it! I underestimated what a nineteen-year-old Martial Saint represents! Haha!"

"Chairman, should we..."

"Don't rush."

Su Chiming waved his hand, "They're here, so they're here. No need to make a fuss."

Su Hua didn't understand.

What did he mean, no need to make a fuss?

Shouldn't they be going out to welcome them immediately at this time?

After all...

That was the core figure of the Lu Family of Dayu, the number one noble family in the country!

Not to mention the Grandmasters from the Jiang and Li families beside them.

So many important figures had arrived, and they weren't going to welcome them?

Since when did the Family Head become...

So nonchalant?

"They're all guests of Alkaid. Just have the event staff go over and provide them with the highest standard of initial reception, and leave the rest to Alkaid to handle."

Su Chiming sat back down, returning to his calm demeanor.

But from his right hand, which was slightly trembling on the desk, it was still apparent that his emotions were greatly stirred at the moment.

...

Star Universe Center Building.

One by one, figures who, although low-profile within Dayu Country, were, without exception, capable of influencing the fate of entire provinces, arrived. The Su family staff, whose number had been increased, quickly ushered them into the first conference room on the sixth floor.

Grandmaster Xu Dengfeng of the Xu family was no exception.

He entered the conference room accompanied by a group of assistants and subordinates, totaling more than ten people.

"Grandmaster Xu."

Yue Nanxing, who was in charge of reception, greeted him with a smile.

"Family Head Yue."

Xu Dengfeng returned the greeting.

However, when he saw Lv Jianfeng and Jiang Sheng, who had arrived earlier, he immediately approached them.

"Mr. Jiang and Mr. Lv, you've come so early?"

"Sit."

The person who responded was not Lv Jianfeng, whom outsiders presumed to have the highest status as the Martial Saint's adopted son and direct disciple, but Jiang Sheng.

He indicated a seat that only nine core members of the family had the privilege to occupy and said with a smile, "We had to come; if it weren't for the big commotion, the old master himself might have wanted to come over in person."

"Master Jiang!?"

Xu Dengfeng was shaken, turning to look at Yue Nanxing, "So... Family Head Yue, the news you have is true!?"

"Haven't you all seen it yourself? The video is proof! Moreover, who would dare to joke with the life of a Martial Saint?"

Yue Nanxing said.

The life of the Martial Saint he was referring to was none other than Fang Lu.

Although whether Fang Lu could be considered a true Martial Saint was still up for debate among them, it was a fact that he had obtained the Tenth Level certificate symbolizing a Martial Saint's status.

"Six years ago, I had the fortune to witness Ji Pingtian, the Chairman of the Season, make a move; he was truly a Celestial who had perfected Divine Intent, a God Realm Martial Saint. The perfect fusion of Divine Intent and martial arts was hard to resist even for Martial Saints, and according to the video provided by Family Head Yue... he's even stronger than he was six years ago."

Jiang Sheng said.

"A God Realm Martial Saint!"

"Stronger than six years ago...!?"

Xu Dengfeng, along with another member of a noble family, simultaneously showed expressions of shock.

"But..."

Jiang Sheng took a deep breath of cold air, "Such a powerful Ji Pingtian was unable to deal with Alkaid, a mere nineteen-year-old youth Martial Saint!"

His eyes were filled with longing, "It's hard to imagine, if Alkaid is allowed to continue growing, what a bright and vast future he will have."

With those words, Xu Dengfeng fell silent.

Without guessing, one knew that a God Realm Martial Saint was not his limit.

He wouldn't even stop at becoming a Primordial Chaos Martial Saint!

A Celestial!

That was his true goal!

If a Celestial were to descend to the world...

What would they, these noble families, have to fear from the Liao family's oppression or Red Star's dominance?

"So, have all of you made a decision?"

Li Cunyu said with a smile.

"When we sit here, we have naturally made our decision."

"If we don't take action now, the number of noble families that disappear might not stop at five. There will soon be a sixth, a seventh, and eighth... You should be able to feel it, especially in the last decade, the Liao family has become increasingly brazen. No matter what, we have to do something, at the very least, we have to show them the strength of our noble families."

"Originally, we saw no hope, and could only let the Liao family slowly carve us up, struggling to survive. But now..."

The core figures from the many families present exchanged knowing looks, understanding each other's intentions.

At that moment, Yue Tianfeng quickly approached, "Family Head, Alkaid has arrived."

Yue Nanxing nodded his head.

And Jiang Sheng was the first to stand up, "Gentlemen."

He walked straight to the door, "Together, let's welcome Alkaid."
