The location of the mountain gate had also been decided.
The main peak of Hua Mountain had already become a famous tourist attraction. They could not use it anymore, and so they had to use another location.
After deciding on the location, they began to design the gate and sought the opinions of the group of old Perfected Persons.
Tang Hao walked around the place once, saw that everyone was going well, and went back. He picked up Yan’er, who had finished her examinations, and went back to Westridge.
When the car drove into Dragonrock village, the village was in an uproar.
“Lil Hao is back!”
“Our celebrity is back!”
The villagers rushed out, their faces filled with warm smiles.
They waved at Tang Hao in the car and greeted him from all directions.
His first uncle, first aunt, grandfather, grandmother, and the other villagers all came out. They stood at the entrances of their houses and looked over with faces full of smiles.
“Brother Hao, you’re really popular now!” Yan’er smiled and teased.
Tang Hao could not help but laugh. He slowed down and slowly drove over.
After getting out of the car, Shi Xuenong led a group of village officials to welcome them.
“Welcome! Welcome!”
They warmly shook hands with Tang Hao.
“Why are you so polite?” Tang Hao quickly said.
“Ha! Don’t you know that you’re a celebrity now? Some time ago, a lot of people came to the village. They were all from some radio station and interviewed a lot of people.
“You’re everywhere on television and in the papers! You’ve brought glory to our Dragonrock village and Westridge!” Shi Xuenong smiled.
Tang Hao immediately laughed drily.
“You’re amazing, Lil Hao! You’ve become popular all over the country!” His uncle walked over and patted Tang Hao’s shoulder with a smile.
Then, he said emotionally, “If Caifeng knew that you’ve made it, she would be so happy!”
Tang Hao was taken aback, and his expression became a little forlorn.
Yes! If his parents knew, they would definitely be very happy!
“Why the long face? You should be happy! Stay for dinner tonight! Oh right, call Xiangyi. We haven’t seen her for a long time. Your grandmother often talks about her!” First Uncle laughed.
“Yes, yes, yes, stay for dinner. How about… a banquet? This is a happy occasion!” Shi Xuenong quickly said.
The villagers immediately agreed excitedly.
“OK!” Tang Hao agreed.
“Hurry, hurry, let’s start the preparations!”
Shi Xuenong quickly delegated the tasks, and the entire village became lively.
“Grandpa, Grandma!”
Tang Hao greeted his grandparents.
The two elders laughed heartily. “Hey! You’re back!”
“How’s your health?” Tang Hao asked.
“Very good! I feel like I’m getting younger and younger!” Grandpa said with a smile.
Grandma stepped forward and pulled Tang Hao’s hand. “Let’s not stay outside. Come in and sit down. Let’s have a good chat.”
They chatted for a while after entering the house.
He gave Qin Xiangyi a call, and she arrived at Dragonrock Village after going off work. The entire village gathered together and had a festive meal.
The next day, Tang Hao took her to pay respects to his parents.
“Dad, Mom, Lil Tang is very popular now. He’s a big celebrity! He’s very promising!” Qin Xiangyi said as she knelt and bowed in front of the grave.
“Also, don’t worry. Lil Tang is now fair and chubby under my care! You don’t have to worry about him!”
“I’m not fair and chubby!” Tang Hao said.
“Hey! Don’t ruin my story!” Qin Xiangyi’s face turned red and said disapprovingly.
As they walked back to the village, Qin Xiangyi said, “You’re fair, but not chubby enough! I have to fatten you up a little!”
“Didn’t you say you wanted to wring me dry? Now you want to fatten me up again! What is it that you want?” Tang Hao said with a smile.
“Ha! You’re flirting with me!” Qin Xiangyi’s face turned red and she said angrily.
Then, the two of them began to chase each other, and their laughter spread far and wide.

It was another Lunar New Year.
As the day approached, the festive atmosphere became more and more intense.
Tang Hao was also very busy buying goods and giving gifts.
That year, he had prepared some gifts for Dragon Tiger Mountain and the cultivation families. There were jade talismans, Artifacts, and even some pills.
As the President of the Union, he had to show the members some appreciation during the Lunar New Year.
Renovations for Haotian Tower were completed, and Tang Hao went to participate in the grand opening ceremony.
The magnificent skyscraper was more than 150 meters tall. The Haotian logo hung on it, which was particularly eye-catching. It became the new landmark of Westridge.
On the day of the ceremony, many influential figures in the business and political circles of Westridge gathered together. It was an extremely lively scene.
Many media outlets came and reported the news. It caused quite a stir.
It was especially so in Westridge, where the impact was the greatest.
The natives of Westridge lifted their heads and looked at the building with pride.
That was Haotian Group, a corporation well-known throughout Huaxia and even the world. It was the pride of Westridge.
On the eve of Lunar New Year, they returned to Greenwillow Village as usual and had a festive reunion dinner.
When the clock rang at midnight, the two of them sat on the rooftop of Haotian Tower and looked at the fireworks that bloomed in the sky.
“Happy Lunar New Year, Lil Tang!”
She turned her face and stared at Tang Hao.
Her beautiful eyes were dazzling as they reflected the fireworks.
“Happy Lunar New Year!”
Tang Hao said and held her hand tightly.
She pursed her lips and smiled brightly. “This is the third Lunar New Year we’ve spent together!”
“There will be many more!” Tang Hao said.
“Yeah!” She said, “You’re twenty-one years old now. You can get married next year!”
As she spoke, she reached out and gently stroked Tang Hao’s cheeks with her delicate hands.
Her eyes were filled with tenderness.
“Do you like children, Lil Tang?” Suddenly, she muttered.
“I do!” Tang Hao said.
“Then… I’ll give birth to one, OK? No! I want to give birth to many, many, many children. Anyway, I’m a Perfected Person now, so I’m not afraid of pain! I give birth to as many as I can!
“If we have a few boys and girls, how lively will that be!”
As she said that, she revealed a look of yearning.
“Well…”
Tang Hao laughed drily.
“What? Are you unhappy?” Qin Xiangyi was stunned.
“No! It’s just that we’re both Perfected Persons now. It’s not going to be that easy to become pregnant,” Tang Hao said.
“Oh? There’s such a thing?” Qin Xiangyi was stunned.
“If that’s the case, why didn’t you say so earlier? We’ll just have to work harder! Alright, from today onward, we’ll do it without protection! Alright?”
Tang Hao’s heart warmed up when he heard that, and he nodded without thinking.
Qin Xiangyi burst into laughter. She glared at him and said, “Look at you!”
“Alright! Let’s go watch the movie first, then we’ll go home!”
She pulled Tang Hao along and jumped down the building.
Naturally, they went to watch the sci-fi movie produced by Haotian Pictures. The movie was called “Escape from the Solar System” and it was set in space.
The wonderful script, coupled with the explosive special effects, was close to the quality of a Hollywood sci-fi blockbuster. It received positive reviews the moment it was released at midnight.
“Those special effects are too awesome. As expected of Haotian!”
“Haotian Pictures, the hope of domestic movies!”
The Internet was abuzz.
They did not bear high expectations for the sci-fi movie. After all, Haotian Pictures’s previous two movies were action comedies, and “Escape from the Solar System” was a serious sci-fi movie.
Those two themes were completely different.
Huaxianese sci-fi movies had never been successful.
The movie had made the moviegoers realize that domestic sci-fi movies could also be very awesome.
The movie scored more than 9.0 on all the review websites. It became an instant hit.
Its popularity was no less than that of last year’s “Mao Mountain Taoist Master.”
Soon, the Lunar New Year passed.
On the eighth day, Haotian Group started to move into the new building.
Tang Hao’s office was on the top floor. It was bigger than the previous one and was attached with a lounge. Even Assistant Han’s office had become bigger.
“This is too big!”
Han Yutong walked around and was flabbergasted. “People might think that this is the chairman’s office!”
“Isn’t that good? It shows that we’re a great company!” Tang Hao said with a smile.
“That’s true!”
Han Yutong sat down and swiveled on her chair. She could not help but grin.
“This’ll be my third home. I need to decorate it properly. Chairman Tang, promise me that you’ll never replace me with anyone else.”
As she spoke, she walked over and gently hugged Tang Hao.
“OK!” Tang Hao laughed.
“Yay, Chairman Tang! You’re too kind!” She cheered.
Then, she kissed Tang Hao’s cheek several times before starting to set up the office.
Tang Hao went around and hid pieces of jade in each corner of the building. He set up several Artifact formations, and the entire building became as impenetrable as a fortress.
Moreover, Tang Hao took Zhou Lingxue over and prepared a room for her.
She brought countless ghosts with her. In her free time, she had domesticated them, and they had to call her “Boss.”
After the move, the company’s operations resumed on track. They started to plan to expand across Asia.
One day, Tang Hao was working when his phone suddenly rang.
He saw that it was from General Bai.
He quickly picked up the phone as he wondered about the reason for the call.
“What’s up?” Tang Hao asked.
“Have you seen the news?”
General Bai’s tone was serious.
“No!”
“It’s chaos! This time, many hidden sects have returned and are causing trouble everywhere. Take a look! It’s all over the Internet.”
Tang Hao’s expression changed slightly, and he immediately opened Weibo.
After scrolling for a while, he saw that many accounts were forwarding a video. When he clicked on it, he found that it had been deleted, and there was no way to view it.
After searching for a while, he also found some screenshots. He saw several figures dressed in ancient clothes, and beside them were flipped cars that were on fire.
“There are several cases throughout the country, and they’re causing quite a commotion. The authorities can’t delete it in time,” General Bai said.
“Where are they?”
“All over the place. If this continues, they will definitely cause even more chaos. We have to think of a way!” General Bai said anxiously.
“Well…”
Tang Hao frowned. He felt that it was quite troublesome.
If there were so many sects appearing everywhere, how was he going to handle them all at once?
After pondering for a long time, Tang Hao suddenly thought of a plan and said, “Don’t we have Hua Mountain? We should ask Hua Mountain to contact them and gather them for a meeting.”
General Bai was taken aback. Then, he said excitedly, “Good idea! Let’s do it that way! How could I forget about Hua Mountain? I’ll hurry and find Baiyun.”
After saying that, he hung up.
Chapter 780 - Mockery
“I see deities flying in the sky! Pew pew pew! So cool!”
“The aliens are coming! They’re going to take over Earth!”
The Internet was abuzz.
Tang Hao frowned as he browsed through the website.
All those people should be Perfected Persons. They had just returned from centuries of seclusion and knew nothing about modern society. It was inevitable that they would cause trouble and cause chaos.
The most important thing now was to ensure the citizens’ safety.
How to deal with them would depend on the situation.
If they were a heretical sect, they would definitely be eliminated. Anyone who caused trouble and disrupted society would also have to be eliminated. Those who were unruly could be detained for a while.
Without coming into contact with those people, the Agency would not know what to do.
On the other side, after Ye Baiyun heard about it, he went to look for his disciples.
“Hurry up and get out, you brats!”
He knocked on the door of the game room.
“What’s the matter, Hierarch? We’re in the middle of a tournament! Can’t it wait?” Ma Chongyang’s voice came from inside.
“Motherf*cker!”
The Hierarch was furious when he heard that.
He rolled up his sleeves, kicked open the door, rushed in, and pulled the four people out by their ears.
“You still want to play games? I’ll cut your cable! Let’s see how you’re going to play!”
The Hierarch picked up the scissors and cut the fiber optics cable with a snip.
“Ow! My stomach hurts. I can’t hold it back anymore. I need to go to the toilet!”
“Me too! I can’t take it anymore!”
The four people looked at each other, clutched their stomachs, and wanted to rush to the toilet.
“If anyone dares to run away, I’ll break his hand so he can never play games!” The Hierarch shouted.
The four of them suddenly became silent.
They could see that their Hierarch was not joking.
They hung their shoulders dejectedly.
Soon, the other three disciples were forcefully recalled. Their bodies were reeking of alcohol.
On the other hand, the elderly Perfected Persons were more enthusiastic about the mission given by the Clan Leader. If they could successfully complete it, perhaps the Clan Leader would be happy and reward them with some pills!
During that period, they had become familiar with the people in the cultivation world. They knew that the other cultivators received presents from the Clan Leader over the Lunar New Year, and that had made them envious.
“Many hidden sects have returned in the past two days. According to their locations, there are Qingcheng, Sanqing, and Kongtong…” The Hierarch said.
The Hua Mountain cultivators immediately showed disdain.
“Qingcheng is a group of hooligans, Kongtong is a group of idiots. Sanqing? Not bad! I heard that they know how to make pills. I wonder if that’s true.”
“There’s also Shu Mountain!” The Hierarch said.
In an instant, all of their expressions changed.
Shu Mountain was famous in the cultivation world a thousand years ago. It was known as the number one sect, and they were very imposing.
“Damn, those bastards from Shu Mountain are out too! That’s not good!”
“Yea
h, that’s not good! I heard that Shu Mountain is a bunch of arrogant and overbearing people!”
“Who’s going to contact Shu Mountain?”
“Whoever it is, it’s not going to be me!”
The group of people looked at each other and started to make excuses.
They were afraid of Shu Mountain.
“Fine, I’ll go to Shu Mountain. Tianyang, you’re coming with me!” The Hierarch said.
“Yes, Hierarch!”
They set off after receiving their missions.
“Sigh! I’d rather stay at home and play games!” Ma Chongyang and Fang Buping took a military plane and flew to the vicinity of Qingcheng.
Both of them were listless.
The people of Qingcheng were causing trouble in the county town when Ma Chongyang and Fang Buping found them. The citizens had been evacuated a long time ago, and the streets were empty. What remained were the people in green robes.
“Oh wow, what’s this?”
“What the hell is that?”
The streets were full of overturned cars. Many of them were police cars.
They disassembled anything they got their hands on.
“Hey, those people over there! What are you doing? What you’re doing is illegal!”
Ma Chongyang shouted from afar.
In an instant, the people from Qingcheng looked over.
“Ha, finally someone’s here! Who are you guys?”
“Illegal? Haha! Do you mean the law? Since when do cultivators have to abide by the law?”
The group of people burst into laughter.
Ma Chongyang was annoyed.
‘Dammit, the Hierarch was right. The people of Qingcheng were all hooligans.’
“We are from Hua Mountain!”
Ma Chongyang thumped his chest and said proudly.
“Hua Mountain? Haha! So you guys are from Hua Mountain!” The people of Qingcheng laughed disdainfully.
A thousand years ago, Hua Mountain was rather unremarkable.
“What’s so funny! I’m here as a representative of the Huaxia Cultivators’ Union. You are invited to join the Union!” Fang Buping shouted.
“The Huaxia Cultivators’ Union?” The Qingcheng cultivators were surprised.
“You know, like an alliance of clans!”
The Qingcheng cultivators laughed when they heard that. “Hua Mountain must be the one who came up with this stupid alliance, right?”
