"Hermit, what do you think? We'll listen to you."
Commander Hou turned to the side and looked up at the tall, thin, long-robed old man who looked to be in his seventies.
"Commander Cao is right. Even if we have to give face to the Medicine King, we still have to make a trip. Since the president is here, as a member of the World Society, how can we not see him?"
The long-robed old man said to the crowd, "Everyone, leave first. We'll go see the president tomorrow morning."
Commander Hou, Cao Yu, and the others raised their eyebrows when they heard the long-robed old man's words. However, they couldn't say anything else. They nodded and left.
Early in the morning, everything was silent. The first rays of the morning sun shone on Chaos Demon City.
The World Society's drill ground was bustling with noise early in the morning. There were no less than ten thousand people in the huge and vast square.
Although the World Society hadn't risen for long in the past half a year, it had gained quite a number of members after subduing many small and medium-sized factions.
In front of the crowd, the leaders of the World Society were all present.
Hua Fankong, Li Xue, Bai Qi, Xia Wenxing and the others were all present. On the other side, the tall and skinny old man in long robes, Cao Yu and the others were present. However, strangely, they did not see Vice Chief Hou.
In the crowd, Bai Qi's expression changed slightly. She glanced at the long-robed old man and the others and said softly, "Hou Buming's group doesn't seem to be here yet."
"His good days should be coming to an end." Hua Fankong smiled faintly.
Whoosh whoosh …
At this moment, there was the sound of wind breaking in the air. Then, several figures appeared in the air.
Everyone looked up. In the lead was a purple-robed young man with a purple broadsword on his back. On his left and right were two beautiful women. On the left was an innocent young girl. There was also a pale golden macaque on his shoulder. Behind them was a small black cat.
Lastly, the Eagle King, Gong Dao, and Ye Piaoling followed. The five of them landed in the center of the drill ground.
"Greetings, president."
Hua Fankong, Bai Qi, Xia Wenxing, and the others bowed when they saw Du Shaofu.
"Greetings, president."
When the other World Society disciples saw this, their expressions changed slightly. After looking left and right, they saw that the people around them were all bowing, so they could only chime in.
Only the tall and skinny old man, Cao Yu, and many others with extraordinary auras stood quietly. They sized up Du Shaofu and the others without much respect.
"No need for formalities …"
Du Shaofu's gaze swept across his surroundings as he faintly nodded his head. The World Society currently had quite a number of members, especially those at the Martial Marquis stage, with even more at the Pulse Spirit stage. This scale could not be underestimated.
Du Shaofu sighed in his heart. So many people had gathered in such a short period of time. Moreover, they were all from various factions and factions. It was no wonder that the world seemed to be on the rise on the surface, but in reality, there were many malignant tumors and endless hidden troubles.
Du Shaofu's gaze swept across the crowd and finally landed on a tall and thin robed old man standing in front of the crowd.
Ye Piaoling raised his head and looked straight at Hermit Wu Zhen. He said indifferently, "Hermit Wu Zhen, why aren't you bowing when you see the president?"
"So this is the president. This old one is getting old and my bones are getting old. My old waist can no longer play. I seek the president's forgiveness."
Hermit Wu Zhen did not reply to Ye Piaoling's words. Instead, his gaze landed on Du Shaofu as he spoke softly with a smile on his old face.
"Hermit Wu Zhen, you're being too serious. We're all members of the World Society, so there's naturally no need for you to be so polite."
Du Shaofu smiled indifferently. His expression was calm, and no one could tell what he was thinking. His gaze did not linger on Hermit Wu Zhen for long. Instead, he looked at the World Society disciples around the drill ground and said with a faint smile, "I reckon that everyone is still unfamiliar with me. Therefore, let me introduce myself. I'm from Tianwu Academy, and my name is Du Shaofu. I'm currently the president of the World Society."
"As expected of Tianwu Academy's Du Shaofu. He's the champion of the Tianwu Tournament and the number one on the Martial Ranking!"
"Du Shaofu. Rumor has it that he's the Courage God King of the Stone Dragon Empire!"
As Du Shaofu's words fell, the hearts of the World Society disciples trembled.
Although they had heard that the president of the World Society was Tianwu Academy's Du Shaofu, the Courage God King of the Stone Dragon Empire, and Du Shaofu's deeds had spread throughout the Chaos Demon City overnight, they were still shocked when they heard Du Shaofu's words.
However, Hermit Wu Zhen's old face was secretly pale. He originally wanted to take advantage of his seniority, but he could sense that Du Shaofu didn't care about him at all.
He was a six-star Mystical Talisman Master and a talisman master. He was one of the top experts in the entire Dark Forest. If he joined any empire or faction, he would be treated with the greatest respect.
Even in the entire Middle Continent, he could be considered an expert with his cultivation, strength, and status.
However, Du Shaofu didn't seem to care about him at all. This puzzled him and made him feel uneasy.
Hermit Wu Zhen thought that there were only two reasons why Du Shaofu didn't care about him. The first reason was that Du Shaofu only had talent and strength, but he was arrogant and unruly. It was difficult for him to achieve anything great. Such a person would fall sooner or later.
The second reason was that Du Shaofu didn't care about a six-star Mystical Talisman Master like him at all.
However, even Hermit Wuzhen did not believe in the second hypothesis. He was a six-star talisman master and an array talisman master at that. If he were to leave, wouldn't the World Society beg him to stay?
"Haha, I'm sorry. I was meditating last night and was delayed this morning. Please forgive me. I almost missed the meeting with you."
At this moment, a laughter was heard from outside the drill grounds. Soon after, a middle-aged burly man led twenty figures as they slowly walked over from outside the drill grounds.
Upon hearing these words, the gazes from all around the drill ground turned to look, each of their expressions changing.
"It's Commander Hou and his group. They are clearly trying to embarrass the president."
"I'm afraid there will be a good show to watch later."
Some people in the crowd discussed. The World Society disciples were naturally aware of the actions of Commander Hou and his group in the World Society.
Du Shaofu's gaze also fell on the group of people. They walked over slowly, neither too fast nor too slow. It was as if they were doing this on purpose.
"This is Hou Buming." Eagle King Gong Dao's voice transmission landed in Du Shaofu's ears.
The leader, Hou Buming, looked to be in his forties. His aura rippled slightly. It was extremely vigorous and sharp. There was also a faint smell of blood in his aura. This proved that he wasn't just an expert, he wasn't someone to be trifled with.
After a while, Hou Buming leisurely walked to Du Shaofu's side. He cupped his hands and said with a smile, "I didn't expect the president to be so young and promising. I heard that you are the Brave God King of the Stone Dragon Empire. I wonder if you can lead our World Society disciples to the Stone Dragon Empire to be conferred the title of Marquis and King in the future?"
As Hou Buming's voice fell, the twenty plus people behind him revealed malicious smiles.
However, the entire square around the Drill Ground fell into silence. Everyone looked at each other in dismay.
Anyone could hear the insinuation in Hou Buming's words. In the Dark Forest, everyone was hostile to the surrounding empires. Now that Hou Buming deliberately mentioned Du Shaofu's identity in the Stone Dragon Empire, his meaning was self-evident.
Du Shaofu's gaze fell on Hou Buming, then he swept his gaze across the group of people one by one.
All the gazes in the surroundings were focused on him. At this moment, all of them wanted to know how this young president who had appeared out of nowhere would react. However, the numerous World Society disciples present only saw that after a short moment, Du Shaofu instead revealed a faint smile towards Hou Buming. He said lightly, "Incense Lord Hou has been adjusting his breathing for the entire night. It's normal for him to forget the time.
Du Shaofu's voice was as calm as ever. No one could hear any emotion from it.
As Du Shaofu's words fell, Hou Buming's eyes twitched without leaving a trace.
Hou Buming was definitely experienced and knowledgeable. At this moment, when he looked at the calm and resolute face, he felt that this seemingly young president was not as easy to deal with as he had imagined. The situation that he had originally prepared to face did not develop in the direction that he had predicted.
Hou Buming could only lead his group toward Hermit Wuzhen. When he looked at Hermit Wuzhen, he realized that Hermit Wuzhen didn't have any reaction. It was as though he didn't see him. Hou Buming could only stand behind Hermit Wuzhen silently.
"I've called everyone here today because I want to meet everyone. Secondly, as a student of Tianwu Academy and the Brave God King of the Stone Dragon Empire, I'm afraid that I'm not suitable to be the president of the World Society. Therefore, I want to choose a new president from everyone." Du Shaofu looked around the Drill Ground. His voice spread out along with his profound energy, allowing everyone to hear him clearly.
"Boom …"
"What's going on? Choosing a new president?"
"You're not joking, right?"
When Du Shaofu finished speaking, the entire Drill Ground was in an uproar.
Hermit Wuzhen, Hou Buming, Cao Yu, and the others were completely stunned.
At this moment, even Ye Piaoling, Bai Qi, Eagle King, Gong Dao, and Li Xue were looking at Du Shaofu in confusion.
Eldest Princess Cheng Sheng-nan had been standing with Du Xiaoqing all this while. She wasn't a member of the World Society and naturally couldn't say anything. However, when she heard Du Shaofu's words, her beautiful eyes were filled with doubt.
