Shen Yan took a deep breath and said further. "As for recruitment. I have recruited only ten Divine Sovereigns so far."
The crowd immediately went silent. While Shen Yan's profit was dazzlingly high, in terms of recruiting people, she completely lost to Shen Yin.
Shen Yin curled his lips as he looked at Shen Yan with contempt. Before this, he got the news that Shen Yan was recruiting the Beyond Heaven King's successor. It seemed she had failed in the end.
"That's my report." Shen Yan sighed inwardly and said before walking to the side.
On the stand, Shen Yifei looked at Shen Yan strangely. If there was anyone who understood Shen Yan's plan entirely, it must be her. Seeing that Shen Yan had given up completely, she immediately felt something was wrong with this.
She subconsciously glanced at Shen Feng, but the latter had no particular expression... It wasn't him?
Shen Yimu glanced at Shen Yu and asked. "Eldest Young Master?"
Shen Yu smiled and jumped onto the stage. He cupped his fists and said politely. "Junior Shen Yu will give everyone a report now."
The content on the projection immediately changed, and a long string of numbers and names could be seen on it.
"There are a total of thirty thousand branches under my management. All of them have produced a profit in the past century." Shen Yu said with a smile. "We've earned three hundred and sixty-four trillion Divine Stones so far."
Everyone in the crowd went numb directly. Shen Yan's number had already shocked them to the core, and Shen Yu immediately made them forget their breathing.
What kind of profit was that!?
They believed that even all the money in a treasury of all the upper realms combined might not necessarily be higher than this.
"So this is what it called a wealth that could rival the world." A man in the crowd muttered to himself in a daze.
Shen Yu said further. "Among the priceless treasures we have obtained are two ancient artifacts from the Primordial Era. One is a sword, and another is armor."
Hiss—
The crowd gasped in a cold breath again. In the past, someone discovered an ancient artifact from the Primordial Era in a secret realm, and it caused a huge commotion in the Divine Realm. It was said the Heavenly Desolate God Emperor spent a massive sum for it… And now, two such a thing appeared in Shen Yu's hands.
Undoubtedly, Shen Yu would be the winner today… That was everyone's thought.
"We have also recruited thirty-three peak Divine Sovereigns and more than a hundred early to high-level Divine Sovereigns from all over the Divine Realm." Shen Yu dropped another bomb.
Shen Yin's face turned black directly. Even though he had expected Shen Yu to perform exceptionally well, he didn't think it would be to this extent.
He glanced at the Drunken Flower Monk and said through a sound transmission. "Are you confident?"
The Drunken Flower Monk smiled and replied. "Looking at the entire Divine Realm, no one in the Divine Sovereign can be my opponent. Young Master Yin can be at ease."
"I hope so." Shen Yin said with a frown.
He recruited the Drunken Flower Monk because he fancied the latter's battle prowess. The Drunken Flower Monk could survive for many years after committing so many unforgivable crimes across the Divine Realm, proving that he was the real deal.
Shen Yimu looked at the Shen Clan members and asked. "Is there anyone?"
Seeing that no one came out, he said further. "If there's no other candidate, we can move to the second phase directly."
"In this phase, all three candidates must send their recruited people out to compete for the number one spot. It will be used to evaluate how sharp the eyes of talent of the candidates are."
Shen Yimu looked around briefly and said. "Let's begin."
Suddenly, a loud voice came from the southern part of the sky. "Shan Mujin of the Hidden Mountain God Realm announces his abrupt visit to the Mystic God Realm."
Woah—
A commotion instantly erupted above the Mystic Ancient City.
"Shan Mujin… That is the name of the Hidden Mountain God Emperor, right?" Every practitioner in the scene was shocked by this.
Shen Huang glanced at the sky and said. "Please come in, Little Brother Shan."
"Thank you." A faint flash of light emerged in the air, and a person abruptly appeared in the sky above the arena. This person was an old man dressed in a plain blue robe. He exuded no aura as if he was a mortal, but everyone knew behind this ordinary appearance was a sharp blade that could cut anything in the world.
Shen Huang waved his hand, and another majestic throne appeared beside him. "Take a seat."
"I won't be polite then." Shan Mujin said with a smile and descended to the seat.
"Father." Shan Jinhao and Shen Yifei quickly got up and bowed their heads.
"Mhm." Shan Mujin nodded gently and beckoned them to sit down.
"Grandpa!" Shan Lou quickly said.
"Your strength has improved again. Look like you didn't slack off during this period." Shan Mujin said with a smile.
"Hehe." Shan Lou smiled in delight.
"Please continue." Shan Mujin turned to Shen Yimu and said.
"Yes." Shen Yimu bowed slightly and looked at Shen Yu. "You can start right away."
Shen Yu glanced at Shen Yan and Shen Yin. "Who wants to come first?"
"I'll leave this chance to Second Sister." Shen Yin said as he looked at Shen Yan with a provocative smile.
Shen Yan frowned slightly and looked at a middle-aged man clad in red behind her. "I'll have to trouble you. You can surrender directly if you can't continue."
The middle-aged man, An Yong, took a deep breath and said. "I'll try my best."
With that, he jumped onto the stage.
Shen Yu turned to a charming woman behind him and said. "Do you want to go first, Sister Jun?"
The charming woman, Jun Leng, smiled and said. "Since Young Master spoke out, how could I refuse?"
With a swoosh, she immediately appeared on the stage.
Jun Leng looked at An Yong and said. "You can make a move first."
An Yong frowned slightly. "Then, I'll go first."
BOOM!!
An Yong's aura abruptly burst out as he flew toward Jun Leng. His hand turned into a giant claw, piercing through the air and landing on Jun Leng's head…
