The incident, broadcast live online, quickly caused a sensation.
Netizens were abuzz with discussion: "Holy crap, are there really such amazing beauty pills?"
"Buy it, must buy one, is it even a woman if she doesn't buy it?"
"That Tensheng Company's counterfeit is too shameless, actually trying to piggyback on another company's popularity. Now look, they've gotten themselves into trouble, even their executives are disfigured!"
Zhao Zilong was also following everything.
When he learned that Wen Jing was disfigured because of this, he instantly clenched his fists, his face filled with murderous intent.
"Chen Jie, you're something! Originally, I wanted to spare your life because you showed some capability, so you could be of use to me later. But now, you have no chance!"
Wen Jing was his personal woman, and to be disfigured because of her was something he could not accept!
Zhao Zilong immediately made a call, gritting his teeth as he spoke, "Hello! Gather all the forces of my Zhao family and station them at Wutai Mountain. I intend to take someone's life!"
"Chen Jie, you son of a bitch, just you wait!"
Zhao Zilong roared.
Due to Zhao Zilong's meddling, Sheng Tian's provincial branch, by sheer coincidence, generated immense popularity.
Suddenly, countless people rushed to place orders.
Many large companies came seeking cooperation.
Knowing that charity begins at home, Chen Jie directly gave the majority of the orders to Jiang Xue and Wang Xiaoyan.
Even Zhang Xinyan received a significant portion.
However, Chen Jie knew that while the beauty pill was miraculous, it couldn't allow one company to dominate entirely, or it would attract much envy.
So, he instructed He Yufei to set aside a certain amount for some smaller companies seeking cooperation.
In an instant, the market value of Wang Xiaoyan's, Zhang Xinyan's, and Jiang Xue's companies soared.
They soon surpassed 300 billion.
The miraculous effects of the beauty pill had surpassed ordinary human comprehension, proving even more powerful than the Hundred Diseases Invincible Pill.
In the future, it was destined for everyone to have one.
Sheng Tian Company's market value also rapidly surged to 500 billion, and it was still climbing.
For the past two days, He Yufei had been incredibly busy.
Tomorrow was the day of the Dragon Lord competition.
Chen Jie no longer bothered himself with these matters.
On the border, in a rainforest area.
Two old men sat in an off-road vehicle, rushing towards the airport.
"The Dragon Lord is about to emerge; it's time for us to help the young lady obtain the position of Dragon Lord!"
"Let's go!"
With the Dragon Lord's emergence and the death of the White Feather God of War, there was no longer a need to conceal anything.
These two old men possessed unfathomable strength.
They were both subordinates of the White Feather God of War.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Li Ziling's company-assigned residence had its door knocked upon.
"Who are you?" Li Ziling looked at the two old men with sharp eyes, feeling a bit scared.
"Heh, I never imagined that the descendant of the White Feather God of War would be living in such straitened circumstances in the country!"
One of the old men sighed.
"Miss Li, we are your protectors. We have come to see you to help you reclaim everything that belongs to the Li family and ascend to the position of Dragon Lord!"
"What? You're my dad's people? Where's my dad?"
Li Ziling was astonished.
"The White Feather God of War has fallen! The glory that belonged to him will eventually be reclaimed by you!"
"Miss Li, we are subordinates of the White Feather God of War. I am Zhantian!"
"I am Zhanzhuo!"
Li Ziling felt as if struck by lightning: "What did you say? My father has fallen?"
"You don't know? Damn it! The White Feather God of War fought for the country, and now even the news of his death is being kept from his descendant? How detestable!"
"Miss, you must win the position of the Dragon Gate Master! Revitalize the glory of the White Feather God of War!"
"But I don't know anything, I can't possibly do it..." Li Ziling regained her composure, suppressing the sorrow in her heart, and said.
"It's fine, we will act! You just need to go through with it! Miss, if you wish to see your father's remains again, you must participate in this Dragon Gate Master competition!"
Zhantian said.
"Okay, I accept your arrangement!"
"I'll go with you tomorrow. You can leave now and come back for me tomorrow!"
Li Ziling sent them away, then immediately threw herself on the bed and sobbed.
That night, Tong Hao found Chen Jie.
"Kid, tomorrow is the day of the Dragon Gate Master competition. How prepared are you?"
Chen Jie glanced at him: "What's the big deal? Does this require preparation?"
"Uh, don't take it lightly. As far as I know, you and Zhao Zilong have been at odds lately. He might very well make a move against you at Wutai Mountain then!"
Tong Hao said.
Chen Jie said indifferently: "It doesn't matter. In the face of absolute power, he can't stir up any significant trouble."
"Chen Jie, don't take it lightly. The Dragon Gate Master competition isn't just about one's own strength; it also depends on overall strength! That is to say, others can invite experts to help them! I suggest you also find some helpers!" Tong Hao said.
"I know."
Chen Jie replied.
Tong Hao shook his head.
"I hope you really know, kid. Don't let me down."
Tong Hao said deeply, then left.
The next day, He Yufei left early.
Chen Jie sat in a cross-legged position, cultivating.
He had a premonition.
If he were to reach the Foundation Establishment stage, the side effects of leveling up might disappear directly.
He cultivated until dusk, then Chen Jie opened his eyes.
A sharp glint flashed in his eyes.
At this moment, the doorbell to the villa rang.
He opened the door, and Lin Shuang walked in with a smile.
"What are you here for?" Chen Jie looked at her, somewhat surprised.
"I'm here to go to Wutai Mountain with you!" Lin Shuang said with a shallow smile.
"What are you going there for?" Chen Jie asked again.
"Don't be silly, what else would I be going for? To compete for the position of Dragon Lord, of course!"
Lin Shuang said helplessly.
"Oh? You're also competing for the Dragon Lord position?"
"Of course! It's not like only top experts like you are eligible to participate. Anyone whose identity is in order can participate!"
"As far as I know, even Group Leader Sheng Guofu is participating! It's good to join in the fun and broaden one's horizons. It's an internal competition, so there's no real danger," Lin Shuang said with a smile.
"Oh! Did you bring the engagement contract?" Chen Jie asked.
Lin Shuang felt a pang of frustration. This guy brought up the annulment of their engagement in three sentences whenever he saw her.
She quickly replied, "I brought it, but I'll only annul the engagement if you win the Dragon Lord position! Otherwise, if Zhao Zilong gets that position, I might be forced to marry him!"
"Alright then, I'll make sure he stops bothering you. At that time, I hope you'll keep your promise!"
Chen Jie looked at Lin Shuang earnestly: "You won't go back on your word, will you?"
"No, am I the kind of person who goes back on their word?" Lin Shuang said, rolling her eyes.
"Let's go!"
The two got into a car and headed for Wutai Mountain.
Although Wutai Mountain was remote, it was still within the provincial capital's jurisdiction, so they arrived an hour later.
At this time, Wutai Mountain had been temporarily sealed off.
Chen Jie and Lin Shuang showed their identification before being allowed to enter.
