Chapter 190 72 Years of the Great Zhou Dynasty

　　Year 72 of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

　　The Eight Immortal Sects said that there were evil demons coming from the Lower World, so they sent their disciples to search the world.

　　Anyone who was suspected was arrested without question.

　　With this move, countless families were destroyed, and everyone in the Pugilistic World felt threatened.

　　Coincidentally, there was a phenomenon in the sky. A white light appeared in the northwest, and the Black Yellow Heavenly Palace was unexpectedly infiltrated by a Deva, only to be blocked by the Empress’s sword.

　　The Six Demonic Sects took advantage of the situation, and the northwest border fell into chaos. The calamity that ensued was difficult to suppress.

　　Linjiang County.

　　Hui Shi was extremely capable and had his own thoughts. After two months, he had already obtained Pei Yuezhi’s trust.

　　Now, he had used the identity of Chen Shihui to become Pei Yuezhi’s deputy and helped him share the burden of recruiting guest elders.

　　However, even so, he was still extremely busy every day.

　　More and more martial artists came to seek refuge.

　　In the past, Deity Realm experts were already considered outstanding. Now, even Human Immortals from wealthy families had come to seek refuge.

　　As time passed, the actions of the eight Immortal Sects became more and more crazy, and they intensified their search.

　　Especially the Heavenly Unity Sacred Sect, Void Dao Sect, and White Cloud City. They had even begun to massacre people without any explanation.

　　But no one could stop them.

　　The Immortal sects were the rulers of the Heavenly Void World, supreme existences.

　　Now, the Great Zhou could be said to be the most stable and safest place in the entire Heavenly Void World.

　　After all, there was the Empress, Deva Pei, and the Daoyi Palace here.

　　Even the Immortal Sects did not dare to come here so easily. If they came, they would be beaten up.

　　However, there was still a vast territory outside the Great Zhou. There were many countries and countless sects and families. These people would suffer.

　　Even the 24 aristocratic families and Nine Preeminent Families could not protect themselves.

　　In just two months, ten aristocratic families had been destroyed, and several countries were exterminated.

　　Therefore, martial artists who had their families destroyed often fled to Great Zhou from the outside. The Linjiang Pei family, which was recruiting guest elders, naturally became the best place of refuge for these people.

　　The increasing number of guest elders made Pei Yuezhi both happy and worried.

　　He was happy that the stronger they were, the more stable his position in the family would be. He also had a higher chance of obtaining the praise of the Ancestor. Perhaps with the benefits, he could step into the Deity Realm before the age of 30.

　　What he was worried about was that the more people there were, the greater the burden. He felt that a small Inner World cultivator like him was already unable to control the situation.

　　After all, even Human Immortals had been recruited.

　　In the pugilistic world, an Inner World cultivator like him did not even have the qualifications to be taken seriously by a Human Immortal.

　　Even among the various aristocratic families, he had to call those people Uncle Immortals.

　　The current Naxian Hall was already beyond his ability to manage.

　　Fortunately, Hui Shi’s performance had always been good. Even the two new Human Immortals were obedient to the rules of the Naxian Hall.

　　However, Pei Yuezhi felt a little uneasy. For this reason, he specially found Hui Shi to ask.

　　“Sir Chen, what do you think I should do now?” Pei Yuezhi said with a conflicted expression. “Now that the reputation of the Naxian Hall has become even more resounding, martial artists from all over the world are swarming over. Even Human Immortals have come. I can’t take it anymore.”

　　“Young Master, do you mean to stop the recruitment?” Hui Shi smiled. He had already seen through Pei Yuezhi’s thoughts.

　　“Of course we can’t stop. This is a situation that the Old Ancestor wants to see.” Pei Yuezhi shook his head and said, “If we stop the recruitment at this time, I’m afraid people will think that our Pei family is afraid of those eight Immortal Sects. The Old Ancestor will definitely be unhappy if he finds out.”

　　At this point, he paused and asked in a low voice, “Actually, I wanted to ask, Sir Chen, how did you make those two Human Immortals listen to you?

　　Although this is the Linjiang Pei family’s territory and they have requested to come under our protection, it’s only right that they follow the rules of our Naxian Hall. However, they are Human Immortals after all. These are people who have attained the Immortal Dao.

　　People like us who have yet to attain the Immortal Dao are like ants in their eyes. Sir, how did you get along with them?”

　　“That’s simple.” Hui Shi nodded and smiled. “I’ve always been good at convincing people with logic. I’ll explain the facts and various situations to them clearly before reasoning with them. As long as they still want to seek protection here, they won’t act rashly. Don’t worry, Young Master.”

　　“Convince people with reason?” Pei Yuezhi could not help but be puzzled. “Is it that simple?”

　　…

　　When Hui Shi left Pei Yuezhi’s side, it was already night.

　　He returned to his residence.

　　However, after returning to his residence, Hui Shi did not return to his bedroom to rest. Instead, he went to the guest hall, as if he was waiting for some guests.

　　After a while, two old men came to visit.

　　They were all in their sixties or seventies. Their hair and beards were white, and they looked like Immortals with extraordinary auras.

　　“Greetings, Deva Chen!” The two old men bowed respectfully to Hui Shi.

　　“There’s no need to be so polite.” Hui Shi stood up to welcome them and smiled. “The two of you took the initiative to look for me. I assume you’ve prepared and brought the things.”

　　He could be considered an old acquaintance of these two old men.

　　He had seen them before in the Great Jin.

　　One of the two old men was called Tang Huaiyi, and the other was called Song Zhong. They were from the Tang family of Mao County and the Song family of Guichuan. They were both Human Immortals who had stepped into the True Origin Realm.

　　Some time ago, they had gone to the Great Jin to collect Heaven Dew Crystals, but they were all captured by Cui Heng.

　　At that time, they were among the many Human Immortals on the side of the aristocratic families.

　　When Cui Heng allowed the Human Immortals from the aristocratic families to return, Hui Shi watched from the side.
