All the chaebol families in Shanhai City.
Individual bodyguards shall not exceed ten, and family bodyguards shall not exceed one hundred.
As soon as this order was issued, the entire Shanhai City exploded.
The wealthy are extremely protective of their lives.
Secondly, they always brought dozens of bodyguards with them on every outing, which looked very imposing.
Without bodyguards, the danger increases significantly.
Shanhai Tang's move angered many, who felt that Shanhai Tang's reach was too long, interfering in such matters.
For a time, there were continuous calls demanding that Shanhai Tang revoke this requirement.
In response, Shanhai Tang directly exerted iron-fisted deterrence.
Anyone who dared to defy the regulations would either leave Shanhai City or be reduced to poverty overnight.
Guan Hongyun and Shangguan Hongyu, as the biggest supporters of Shanhai Tang, took the lead by example, reducing their personal and family guards.
Many people did not understand why Shanhai Tang was doing this.
Chu Fan requested it, and naturally, he had his reasons.
Even as a demon god, he could not achieve complete equality for everyone in Shanhai City.
The only thing he could do was to minimize the gap between the masses to the best of his ability.
He controlled the power of the wealthy magnates to reduce conflict and prevent harm to the common people.
After all, with fewer bodyguards around, conflict would naturally decrease.
Otherwise, it would be easy for incidents like He Yue blocking the road to occur, where they would act arrogantly by virtue of their numbers.
The War Emperor Hall continued to watch all of this quietly.
Although the Five War Emperors did not understand why Chu Fan wanted Shanhai Tang to do these thankless tasks, they strongly supported him. This was because the principles of the War Emperor Hall had unconsciously shifted as it developed to its current state.
Many people, relying on their connections with certain individuals within the War Emperor Hall, acted with arrogance and bullied others.
As administrators of the War Emperor Hall, they were aware of these occurrences but were unable to intervene too much for other reasons.
Shanhai Tang did what the War Emperor Hall could not.
The Five War Emperors even secretly hoped that the Shanhai Tang, created by Chu Fan, would grow step by step and gradually dominate the entire Dragon God Kingdom, just like the War Emperor Hall.
In this way, the situation of the War Emperor Hall being the sole dominant power would be completely rewritten.
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed since He Yue caused trouble.
After returning to the Shanhai Pavilion that day, Chu Fan retreated into the basement to continue absorbing the energy of the dragon veins.
He was too lazy to bother with the chaos outside.
As the Deputy Hall Master of Shanhai Tang and the foremost figure in Shanhai City, if Qin Tian couldn't handle such a small matter, Chu Fan would have a serious talk with him.
In the basement.
Chu Fan carefully sensed his internal condition, his expression not very good.
Although the strange poison within his body had been completely suppressed, he knew very well that if this thing was not eliminated, it was a ticking time bomb within his body.
It could explode at any moment.
In the Eternal Hall, there was the Hall Master, his master, the eighteen gatekeepers, and numerous extraordinary individuals and resources.
When a change occurred, timely measures could be taken.
However, outside, if it suddenly erupted, it would be very troublesome.
Now, after being in Shanhai City for two to three months, his aunt's condition had completely improved.
Information about his mother was still being investigated, and Chu Fan knew he needed to shift his focus to dealing with the strange poison within himself.
His strength could have been much greater, but due to the influence of the strange poison, he couldn't progress further.
Chu Fan already had a direction for how to deal with the strange poison.
According to the information gathered, the person who had poisoned him back then was someone from the Chu family in the Dragon God Kingdom.
As long as the poisoner was found and the nature of the poison was understood, treatment would be much easier.
Chu Fan also had a second plan for the strange poison within his body.
The Dragon God Kingdom was a country with profound foundations.
There were many hidden, reclusive families, and these families should still possess ancient elixirs.
As long as ancient elixirs could be found, the strange poison within his body could also be cleared.
This was also one of the reasons why he was investigating his mother's whereabouts and wanted to get involved with ancient families.
"Hmm?"
Just as Chu Fan was concentrating on adjusting the dragon vein energy within his body, he suddenly sensed someone ascending the mountain.
Upon closer observation, he saw it was the Central Plains War Emperor, his breath rapid and slightly chaotic, clearly indicating an urgent matter. He vanished from the basement in a flash.
In the main hall of Shanhai Pavilion, the Central Plains War Emperor entered and was about to call out when Chu Fan appeared at the doorway.
"What is it?"
The Central Plains War Emperor immediately bowed respectfully and said, "Sir, someone from the higher authorities has arrived!"
"The person who has come is the Chai family, ranked fifth on the Hundred Clans List of the Dragon God Kingdom!"
"The leader is the second in command of the Chai family, nicknamed Chai Lao Er, and the specific strength of the people he brought is temporarily unknown!"
"In another hour, they will land in Shanhai City!"
"When they arrive, should I bring them to Shanhai Pavilion?"
This hurried visit was to inform Chu Fan, partly to give him some preparation, as the Chai family was powerful, and even though the Central Plains War Emperor was a recognized strongman in the Dragon God Kingdom, he still had a slight gap when facing the Chai family.
Secondly, it was to ask Chu Fan's intentions, as he knew very well that Chai Lao Er's first stop upon arriving in Shanhai City would be the War Emperor Hall to understand the situation, and then he would inquire about Chu Fan's whereabouts.
If Chu Fan's intentions were not understood, making a mistake that angered the demon god would not be good.
Whether it was Chai Lao Er or fifth on the Hundred Clans List of the Dragon God Kingdom, Chu Fan paid no mind to them.
After pondering for a moment, he said, "Proceed according to normal procedures!"
With direction, and no longer troubled, the Central Plains War Emperor left without further ado.
Chu Fan then took out his phone and called Qin Tian.
"Chai Lao Er from the Chai family in the Dragon God Kingdom has brought people to Shanhai City. Their primary target should be Shanhai Tang. You communicate with them first."
"I have only one requirement: Shanhai Tang will not be disbanded, nor will it be on equal footing with the War Emperor Hall."
"If they disagree and want to make a move, don't be afraid of anything. Just fight!"
Qin Tian was surprised that such a small matter had alarmed the Chai family of Shanhai City.
However, after receiving Chu Fan's instructions, he nodded with a smile and replied, "I understand, sir."
An hour later, Chai Lao Er, leading ten people selected from the Chai family, landed at Shanhai Airport.
The Northern Territory War Emperor personally led a delegation to greet them.
However, Chai Lao Er, walking out of the airport passage, did not even look at the Northern Territory War Emperor or the members of the War Emperor Hall, coldly walking past them.
This action caused the Northern Territory War Emperor's eyebrows to furrow, and displeasure flickered across his expression.
Chai Lao Er did indeed hold considerable power in the Dragon God Kingdom, but to disregard the Northern Territory War Emperor like this was perhaps too arrogant.
If he hadn't been fighting desperately on the border, would these dignitaries have had the opportunity to enjoy a peaceful life?
"Sir, what should we do?"
A War King approached and asked.
Being ignored after coming to pick them up made the War King very displeased.
"Damn it, let's go back!"
The Northern Territory War Emperor waved his hand, no longer bothering with Chai Lao Er and his group, and led his men back to the War Emperor Hall.
Since Chai Lao Er had shown such disrespect, he was equally unwilling to show respect to Chai Lao Er.
Facing Chu Fan, he had to bow his head due to the power disparity.
But to a useless second son who relied solely on the Chai family, the Northern Territory War Emperor would never bow his head.
After leaving the airport, Chai Lao Er and his group headed straight for Shanhai Tang.
Upon reaching the entrance of Shanhai Tang, looking at the plaque hanging above the door.
Chai Lao Er sneered, "Shanhai Tang?"
"Break it for me!"
