"All of this information is available at the Divine Firmament Palace. If you still have any doubts after reviewing it, feel free to ask me again!"

Wang Xu turned and replied with a smile before leaving.

Inside the elevator, Wang Xu pondered everything that had just happened. After a slight hesitation, he took out his phone.

"A War Venerable seed like you staying in Crimson Cloud City is truly a waste of talent..."

In the assessment room.

Once Wang Xu's back disappeared from view, Tang Hong chuckled and spoke.

"Let's go, we'll head down first. I'm treating today, I want to buy you a good drink."

Tang Hong slung an arm around Ye Cang's shoulders, inviting him with great enthusiasm.

"Your kindness is hard to refuse, Tang Hall Master. Ye Cang thanks you again!"

"Ah! Why are you still calling me Tang Hall Master? If you don't mind, just call me Brother Tang."

Tang Hong waved his hand, winked, and chuckled, "When you break through to War Venerable in the future, I can brag to my friends that I used to eat and drink with a War Venerable. Won't they be envious to death!"

Soon, the two arrived downstairs.

Looking at the surrounding tall buildings, Ye Cang turned to Tang Hong.

"Brother Tang, about this house..."

"I know. I'll contact you shortly. I remember there's a villa not far from my place that's vacant. The location and environment are quite good. You can take a look on your phone first."

As he spoke, Tang Hong operated his phone and handed it over.

The screen displayed information about the villa's location, layout, and more.

Taking the phone, Ye Cang glanced at it a few times and made his decision.

"It's fine, I'll take this one!"

Ye Cang returned the phone and casually asked, "How many days at the latest can I move in?"

"What? You sound in a hurry? Is something going on?"

"Heh! No, it's just that I've never lived in a villa before, so..."

Hearing Ye Cang's nonsensical answer, Tang Hong didn't believe him one bit.

Coupled with Ye Cang's hurried assessment for martial artist status so late, he guessed that something must have happened, prompting Ye Cang to seek the protection of the martial arts hall.

If someone with a cultivation close to a General couldn't resolve their issues, it was possible their enemies were powerful, or perhaps Ye Cang needed to settle his family to prevent them from being threatened.

And if they could resort to violence directly in Crimson Cloud City, that force must not be small.

After all, only the major families in Crimson Cloud City would dare to offend the Martial Artist Administration Bureau.

But now that Ye Cang had become a member of the Divine Firmament Martial Arts Hall, and moreover, a prospective War Venerable seed, Tang Hong didn't want anything to happen to him.

Tang Hong looked at Ye Cang suspiciously and spoke directly.

"Don't worry about the house. The villas provided to Generals are fully equipped. You can just move in with your bags."

"I'll arrange for some cleaners to tidy it up, and you can move in directly tomorrow morning!"

After speaking, he patted Ye Cang's shoulder reassuringly.

"You are now a member of my Divine Firmament Martial Arts Hall and even enjoy the treatment of a General. With this status, even Huang Heyu would have to think twice before making a move against you."

"Not to mention other family forces. If you have any trouble, you can tell me directly, and I'll handle it for you."

Hearing this, a flicker of gratitude crossed Ye Cang's mind.

Although Tang Hong was being so proactive and enthusiastic because of his potential, Tang Hong's current actions were still very considerate.

"Thank you for your help, Brother Tang. As long as my family is settled, I can handle my own troubles."

Ye Cang thanked him sincerely.

"That's good!"

Tang Hong nodded, then pulled Ye Cang along as they walked outside.

"Let's go! Don't overthink it, let's eat first!"

The next day, after waking up, Ye Cang called Tang Hong to inform him, then returned home to pack his belongings.

Being a solitary person, he didn't have much to move.

A moment later, after packing, he drove directly to the residential area for Generals at the Divine Firmament Martial Arts Hall.

On the way, he notified Lin Yan and the others.

About half an hour later, he arrived at his destination.

Villa Number 36!

The surroundings weren't bad.

Looking up, the villa was exquisitely designed, three stories in total, with a super-large terrace.

When he arrived, Lin Yan and the others were already waiting downstairs.

Originally, they wouldn't have been qualified to enter this place.

However, with Tang Hong's help, none of that was a problem.

Seeing him arrive, joy filled everyone's faces.

After glancing at the crowd, Ye Cang shifted his gaze to the side.

There stood Wu Guang and his family.

With the current level of medical expertise, any minor injury could be healed quickly.

Even someone like Wu Guang, who was on the verge of being crippled and dying, had his injuries stabilized after more than ten hours of treatment. Now, he only needed to inject the corresponding recovery agents on time to maintain his body's normal functions.

However, to fully recover, 'Dragon Marrow Paste' was still needed.

Lin Yan was a martial artist and had already joined the Divine Firmament Martial Arts Hall, so he had a residence in the martial artist district.

This time, he came alone to help settle everyone.

Only the other three were not yet martial artists, which was why they needed protection.

However, including the three families, there were thirteen people in total. Although the villa was very spacious, having so many people here made it feel a bit crowded.

"Ye Cang, it doesn't feel right for us to just move in like this, does it?"

Shi Feng looked at Ye Cang awkwardly, and Bai Yuanliang also seemed embarrassed.

"Brother Ye Cang, we've dragged you down!"

Wu Guang had already woken up and spoke softly.

Hearing this, Ye Cang waved his hand.

"No! This is also a consequence of me killing Xue Qing, so ultimately, I'm the one who implicated you all."

"But don't worry, as long as I deal with Xue Long, everything will go back to normal."

Afterward, he signed the agreement and led everyone into the rooms.

By the time Ye Cang had arranged everyone's accommodations, more than half the day had passed.

At this moment, Shi Feng and Bai Yuanliang's families had prepared lunch.

"Thank you, aunties and uncles!"

Ye Cang said with a smile.

"Not at all, it's us who are bothering you."

Shi Feng's father said nervously and hurriedly.

Seeing this, Ye Wen smiled faintly.

"Uncle, please don't say that. Rest assured, I will resolve this matter soon."

After everyone finished eating harmoniously, Ye Cang went to the training hall on the second floor.

At this time, Lin Yan and the others also followed.

"Ye Cang, do you know the latest news?"

Lin Yan's expression was grim, and the others looked the same, with fear hidden in their eyes.

"What is it?"

Ye Cang looked at Lin Yan curiously. He had been busy all morning and hadn't had a chance to catch up on the latest news.

"Xue Long announced this morning at ten o'clock that he has broken through to the War Venerable realm. He will be holding an 'Ascension Banquet' in three days, inviting all the major families of Crimson Cloud City."

"I heard that the City Lord, Huang Heyu, will also be there to offer his congratulations. It's very likely that Xue Long will be invited to join the Huang Family then."

"If Xue Long finds out that his brother died by our hands, then in Crimson Cloud City, we won't have any chance of survival."

As he spoke, Lin Yan's face was filled with despair and helplessness.

That was a War Venerable!

There was a world of difference between a War Venerable and a General.

And in Crimson Cloud City, countless martial artists were stuck at the peak of the General realm, unable to break through.

No matter how powerful Ye Cang was, how could he contend against Xue Long?

Were they going to hide here forever?

Moreover, they were not Generals, and they could only stay here temporarily; they couldn't live here for long.

"War Venerable?"

Ye Cang was also taken aback when he heard the news. He quickly opened his phone to check, and sure enough, a message had already hit the trending list.

It was about Xue Long breaking through to the War Venerable realm.

After glancing at the information, Ye Cang's mood didn't change much.

"Just a War Venerable! With the system, I'll reach that point in no time!"

Looking at the few people with sorrowful expressions, Ye Cang smiled relaxedly.

"Don't worry, it won't take too long!"
