I'm a Pastor, what the hell is an Acute Gastroenteritis Outbreak Spell?!

City of Nine Families.

In a large conference room, dozens of shadows buzzed and argued like a marketplace.

At the head of the conference table, several figures sat across from each other.

Some glared angrily, some closed their eyes and meditated, while some displayed looks of helpless resignation.

Among them, one group consisted of Qin Zheng and Bai Jingqi, with Li Zhen, Li Jiao, and Hao Zhao standing behind them.

The second group was led by the military academy freshmen represented by Zhu Chengyu.

Zhu Chengyu was the only one seated, as the others stood behind him. They didn’t join in the arguments but had an air of certainty about their win.

The third group was led by Jiang Muyun, who had defected from the Vanguards.

The people behind her were the most vociferous, and she wore a look of helplessness on her face.

The fourth group had the fewest members but had an air of brash confidence.

Many glances cast their way were filled with anger and disgust.

The reason was simple…

The leader of this group was a shaggy-haired, black-skinned little white horse!

Behind him were a few foreigners.

“What the fuck, they’re still arguing…”

Qin Zheng slumped back in his chair, his face worn. Bai Jingqi shook his head and said, “It’s because of you insisting on choosing an alliance leader.”

“No! It’s not my idea, it’s Li Zhen’s.”

Qin Zheng immediately retorted, “You know me, I’m good at charging through enemies, but leading everyone is a joke.”

Li Zhen shot him a glance: “If it wasn’t for the elders’ insistence, do you think I want this?”

“That world oddity is damaged, but it still should be seized. What if we could cultivate it?”

Qin Zheng snorted coldly, “Don’t waste resources. Instead of doing that, it would be better to kill a few more Different Races on the Alien Battlefield.”

“Let me make it clear early on, I can compete for the position of alliance leader, but now it’s clear everyone is backing Zhu Chengyu.”

“Once the votes are cast, if our side has fewer votes, I will support Zhu Chengyu.”

“As long as that little white horse isn’t the alliance leader, anyone else is fine.”

Li Zhen shook his head: “Try your best, a world oddity, even in its damaged state, is still useful.”

“Everyone stop arguing!”

A loud shout suddenly rang out as the little white horse abruptly stood up, its towering figure of about two and a half meters standing there like a miniature giant.

His Xia Country language was fluent, with just a hint of a foreign accent.

“I’ve seen in the old Xia Country martial arts TV series that to be the ‘martial arts alliance leader,’ you must be the strongest.”

“If so, why not have a contest as I suggested?”

“The strongest person becomes the martial arts alliance leader. What else is there to argue about?”

“Impossible!”

“To be the strongest, you’re sure you can beat Qin Zheng or Zhu Chengyu?”

“Huh! Don’t fucking think you’re invincible just because you have an eight-star hidden profession!”

As soon as the little white horse finished talking, a lot of people started yelling.

Some people even started cursing directly:

“Damn! Who the hell are you? This is our Xia Country’s business, what the fuck does it have to do with a little white horse?”

“Get out of Xia Country!”

“If it weren’t for your meddling, we would have chosen our alliance leader already!”

“Exactly, the alliance leader must be either Zhu Chengyu or Qin Zheng, who the hell are you?”

“I think Jiang Muyun is suitable too…”

Upon hearing the cursing, Terence was immediately furious: “I am an exchange student from the great Moor Country, you dare curse me! ”

“Besides, I’m studying in Xia Country now, I’m a part of Xia Country!”

“The Black Dragon is still a dragon!”

“What the fuck…”

“You’re asking for it!”

“So you want a contest, huh? I’ll compete with you…”

The entire conference room immediately dissolved into a heated argument. If it weren’t for the team leaders keeping the peace, a fight would have already broken out.

Almost all the firepower was aimed at the dozen or so foreigners, but these foreigners seemed to have received instructions.

Even if they were yelled at, smoked with anger, they would not back down and insisted on contending for the position of alliance leader.

Just then, a figure leaned in towards Bai Jingqi and Qin Zheng and whispered something.

“Hmm? Zheng Cheng is here!”

The two men’s eyes lit up immediately, and Li Jiao standing behind them excitedly said, “What, Brother Cheng is here? I’ll go greet him!”

As soon as she finished speaking, she squeezed her way out.

Bai Jingqi quickly stood up and pushed Qin Zheng back down, “You stay here, I’ll go get him!”

“Damn, I wanted to go, too…”

Seeing Bai Jingqi, who was closest to the door, run out, Qin Zheng was almost in tears.

Outside the City.

Zheng Cheng and the others looked around in surprise. The City of Nine Families was bustling with people, all of them freshmen from Qinzhou province.

Everyone looked extremely bored, forming small groups to chat idly.

Some people had even set up a stall on the open ground, selling various equipment obtained from the Inferior Tribe Professionists.

Chicken was puzzled, “Brother Cheng, why is this place so chaotic? Isn’t anyone in charge?”

Zheng Cheng conjectured, “Possibly, there’s no leader. Without direction, it seems chaotic.”

“On our way here, we did see many from the Inferior Tribe heading this way. Yet here it’s so chaotic… leaderless.”

Song Chaoyu remarked, “It looks busy here. How about we take a look later? See if there’s anything valuable?”

“Yes, absolutely.” Lin Jianyue also excitedly chimed in, “We’ve collected quite a few weapons and equipment from the Inferior Tribe Professionists, perhaps we could sell them for a decent price.”

On their journey, they had killed hundreds of the Inferior Tribe Professionists.

The war loot they captured was quite rich.

Especially a bone knife snatched from a two-headed Inferior Tribe member, a rare silver-grade weapon!

“Zhixue, would you like to go check out the spoils?”

Yao Zhixue shook her head, “I don’t like the crowd, you guys can go ahead.”

Just then, Li Jiao came running from a distance, excitedly shouting, “Brother Zheng Cheng! Brother Zheng Cheng!”

The expressions of Yao Zhixue and Song Chaoyu immediately changed, glaring menacingly at Li Jiao running towards them.

Song Chaoyu stepped forward, blocking Zheng Cheng, “Oh Jiaojiao, I didn’t expect you to still be around. I thought you would have been beamed out by now.”

Li Jiao retorted sarcastically, “Why would I be out if you’re still hanging around!”

“By the way, where is your Brother Qin Zheng?”

“What Brother Qin Zheng?! He’s merely a friend of my brother!”

“Really? I recall him being your sweetheart.”

“Who said that?! Don’t you dare slander me…”

“Zheng Cheng!”

As the two girls glared at each other in anger and quarreled, Bai Jingqi hurried over and embraced Zheng Cheng warmly.

“Welcome! We’ve been worried til now.”

Zheng Cheng laughed, “Really? Missed me that much?”

“Somebody else missed you even more!”

Bai Jingqi winked, signaling to Li Jiao who was still arguing with Song Chaoyu.

“Let’s go. I’ll take you to the conference room. Qin Zheng, Li Zhen, and all the others are there.”

Zheng Cheng was surprised, “Conference room? What are you discussing?”

“Also, why is the Jiuhu City in such chaos? Isn’t there anyone to manage it?”

“When we arrived, we encountered many Inferior Tribe members rushing our way, obviously plotting to trap us.”

Bai Jingqi gave a bitter smile, “We know about this situation. Before you arrived, we already repelled the siege of the Inferior Tribe three times, killing several thousand of them!”

“As for the management issue you mentioned, we are discussing it right now.”

“What exactly is happening?”

“Let’s walk and talk.”

As they headed towards the conference room, Bai Jingqi said, “You see, five days ago, we received Xin Ruhuo’s announcement about destroying the tributes on our islands.”

“In connection to that, we planned to contact other new Professionists and agreed with a few captains to rendezvous in Jiuhu City….”

With Bai Jingqi’s narration, Zheng Cheng quickly understood what had happened.

Long story short, the number of Professionists spiked after the Jiuhu City gathering, resulting in a rather chaotic management situation.

These Professionists belong to different schools and forces, such as elementary and high schools, military schools, international schools, and so on.

There are also family Professionists, military Professionists, freelance Professionists, union Professionists, and foreign Professionists.

Without the guidance of family elders, teachers, or senior professionals, it’s challenging to manage these teenagers.

They basically only follow their captains and peers.

This resulted in Jiuhu City falling into chaos, with several conflicts arising, which were forcefully suppressed.

As they were speaking, they approached the conference room.

“Now, there are four people who are eligible to contend for the alliance leader’s position: Qin Zheng, Zhu Chengyu, Terence, and Jiang Muyun.”

“Terence?” Zheng Cheng was surprised, “Who is he?”

“And Jiang Muyun? How did she get involved in competing for the alliance leader’s position?”

As soon as they entered the conference room, a booming voice rang out, “Damn it! If anyone wishes to vie for the alliance leader’s position, fight me!”

“Come on!”

“If anyone defeats me, I’ll gladly concede the alliance leader’s position to them. How’s that sound?”

“Otherwise, I refuse to accept the result even if you choose the leader by voting!”

The entire conference room echoed with the roar of Terence, shaking the entire building.

Bai Jingqi pointed to Terence and said, “That’s him, Terence, an exchange student from Moor Country. He somehow managed to get our Xia Country’s ID, and keeps repeating that ‘a black dragon is still a dragon….’”

“The white horse?”

Zheng Cheng frowned. He didn’t have a favorable impression of this group of people either.

“Zhu Chengyu, the military’s man. His strength is regarded as the strongest. Moreover, many other freelance Professionists are supporting him.”

“And there’s Jiang Muyun.” Bai Jingqi whispered, “She has the backing of the Night Watchmen. She too desires to vie for this world artifact.”

“This time, more than a dozen newcomers from other cities who have just joined the Night Watchmen are supporting her.”

“Come on! If you dare, fight me!”

“Whoever defeats us, we’ll obey their commands!”

Terence’s voice still echoed in the conference room, “Your Xia Country’s Qinzhou Province has three 9-star Professionists, Zhu Chengyu, Qin Zheng, and a girl named Yao Zhixue.”

“Let them come and fight me. If they win, I’m willing to submit!”

As soon as his words fell, there was a commotion in the conference room.

“Damn it! Qin Zheng, get him!”

“Bloody white horse won’t hear reason….”

“Zhu Chengyu, get him! Whoever wins is the alliance leader!”

Under Terence’s incitement, most of the newcomers become riled up, arguing loudly.

Among the crowd, both Zhu Chengyu and Qin Zheng frowned.

A duel?

This white horse obviously doesn’t hold back, he thought. He was sure he could win, but what if he got injured? In the ensuing round-up of the Blood Guanyin….

Amid the noisy environment, a calm voice suddenly overshadowed everyone’s.

“Now is hardly the time for a duel. No matter who gets hurt, it will affect our next moves.”

Li Zhen!

As the most composed and calm among the family Professionists, he voiced out, “I have a better solution at hand. Are you willing to accept it?”
