Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 798
Qixia Mountain is located in an important place, and from time to time there are escaping lights shooting past high in the sky.

Tang Ning crouched among the treetops on the south side of the valley, quietly waiting for the merchant ship from the Kunyan Chamber of Commerce. About half an hour later, she saw a wind spirit ship coming from the southwest, with the flag on the bow The four big characters of Qianxuan Chamber of Commerce are written on it.

The merchant ship gradually drifted away, and soon disappeared from sight. In less than a quarter of an hour, another merchant ship from Liuyunzong galloped by. This valley is one of the main roads leading to Fengyating City. Quite often.

Until nightfall, I saw a small black dot coming from the southeast in the distance. As the distance got closer, the small black dot became bigger and bigger in my field of vision. It was a merchant ship. Tangning took a closer look and couldn't help feeling refreshed.

This ship was their target, and the four big characters of Kunyan Chamber of Commerce were written on the flagpole at the bow.

He hurriedly set off and ran at full speed. After less than a quarter of an hour, he came to Ji Lingchao, bowed and saluted, "To my two senior uncles, I found a merchant ship from the Kunyan Chamber of Commerce coming from the southeast and heading northwest. just drive away."

"Are you sure?" Ji Lingchao asked quickly.

"The disciple can see clearly that there are four large characters of Nuoda's Kunyan Chamber of Commerce written on the bow flag sail."

"Okay." Ji Lingchao said, "Tangning, go and inform Peng Yuan and Peng Chu. Your cultivation is low, and you don't need to participate in the next matter. You just wait here for news from us. If we don't return within an hour, , you leave on your own, don't worry about us. Junior Brother Yu, let's go meet them."

Yu Gan nodded and said good-bye, the two of them disappeared for a moment, and appeared more than ten miles away in the next moment.

Tang Ning also got up, first came to the north of the valley, with a far-sighted mind, she found Feng Chu, explained her purpose, and then found Xu Yuan together.

When the three returned to the agreed place, Ji Lingchao and Yu Gan had already been waiting here.

Seeing that they came back so soon, Tang Ning was not surprised. With Ji Lingchao's late Yuanying cultivation and Yu Gan's assistance, it was easy to rob a Xuanling ship.

Generally speaking, there is at most one Nascent Soul cultivator sitting in the Xuanling Ship, and there is a high probability that it is an early Nascent Soul cultivator, so how could it be possible to resist the attacks of Ji Lingchao and Yu Gan? Abandoned ship and fled.

"Let's go! This matter is over, go back to the Yiyang Mountains and gather to wait for Master Ren's next order." Ji Lingchao said, and everyone jumped up and headed southwest.

........................

The majestic and majestic city outline covers thousands of miles around. There are giant cannons displayed on the city wall. The crowds in the city come and go like a shuttle. This is the headquarters of the Kunyan Chamber of Commerce.

In the quaint hall, all the top executives of the Kunyan Chamber of Commerce gathered together, and a burly middle-aged man sat on the chief seat above. It was Zhang Yunlong, the chairman of the Kunyan Chamber of Commerce. His voice was loud and thunderous. Like a drum.

"Everyone must know the reason for this emergency meeting. You should know what happened in the past few days. In just a few days, seventeen merchant ships were hijacked. It is obvious that someone deliberately targeted This chamber of commerce."

"Many of these plundering crowds were cultivators at the level of Huashen. The other party knew the movements and routes of our merchant ships very well. Most of them mainly plundered goods. Now there are constant rumors outside, and several large orders have been suspended."

As soon as Zhang Yunlong finished speaking, a man with gray temples coughed lightly. It was Geng Hao, the vice president of the Kunyan Chamber of Commerce, but he said, "There is no outsider here, so there is no need to hide it." , open the skylight and speak up!"

"The current situation of the Chamber of Commerce is on the verge of life and death. This is by no means alarmist, but a fact that we will face. As for the enemies who robbed merchant ships, there is no need to deliberately find them. No matter who they are, they will be of no use to us. benefit."

"And I dare to assert that these things are definitely not the actions of a certain force alone, but the cooperation of many parties, and it is a comprehensive encirclement and suppression of us. Among them, there may be sects of Taoism and a family of practitioners. These people may be very powerful. , Even if you apply to the business alliance for help, it may not be able to do anything to this group of people, but this is not the most important thing."

"The point is that if we don't take any action to quell this incident, then the situation will inevitably develop in a worse direction."

"The so-called pushing everyone down, those forces that are not at odds with us will definitely be ready to move when they see that we are dispersing, and they will inevitably fish in troubled waters and join this feast of sharing us. At that time, we will really become the target of public criticism, so the top priority is to calm down. Their siege, not finding out who the enemy is."

Another old man with white beard and hair lightly crushed his white beard and said, "I agree with Vice President Geng's opinion. We can't sit idly by, let alone passively count on the assistance of the Merchant Alliance. In just a few days, we lost [-] merchant ships." Goods, even outside Xuantang City, three merchant ships were robbed. "

"Obviously, there are powerful forces behind this manipulating all this. They only rob merchant ships and rarely kill monks. They are warning us. Now people inside and outside the chamber of commerce are in panic, and rumors are spreading everywhere. If we don't express anything, the consequences will be unimaginable."

A bearded man said: "Vice President Geng and Elder Zhang are right. The problem is that we don't know who they are or what their purpose is. How can we show kindness and let them..."

Before he finished speaking, a white-faced man from outside the hall hurried in, bowed to Zhang Yunlong and said, "I report to Master, Xu Fu, the chief treasurer of Lingnan, said that he has something to see outside."

"Please come in."

"Yes." The man went away in response, and not long after, a middle-aged man with big ears walked away quickly, bowed and saluted: "My subordinate Xu Fu paid a visit to the president. Report to the president, around midnight yesterday, Tianyuan Guling The mine was looted by a group of black-clothed men, led by a cultivator who transformed into a god, Tang Yi, the master of the mine, was killed, and the disciples guarding the mine suffered heavy casualties."

"When my subordinates got the news and led people to Tianyuan Valley, the murderer was nowhere to be found, and the warehouse of Tianyuan Valley was ransacked. According to the surviving disciples, the other side dispatched a total of more than a dozen monks, including two monks who transformed the spirit, and the Nascent Soul There are as many as ten monks at least."

"After they broke through the spirit mine formation, they slaughtered and transported all the supplies stored in the spirit mine away with wind spirit ships. When we arrived, the building was already empty."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the hall had different expressions. Zhang Yunlong's face sank like water, and he waved his hand: "I see, you go down first!"

Xu Fu retreated in response.

The white-faced old man said lightly: "It seems that some people can't sit still anymore, we can't hesitate any longer, otherwise the various forces in Xuantang City will rush up to eat us like wild dogs, and it will be hard to stop at that time."

"The problem is, we don't know the other party's purpose yet, so we have to prescribe the right medicine." The person below said.

Hao Geng said: "If my guess is correct, the reason why so many people are targeting us is actually targeting the Nether Sea organization. It is precisely because we announced our cooperation with the Nether Sea branch in this city that they were attacked by them." siege."

"Although the Nether Sea Organization is stationed in this county, both the Taoist sect and the aristocratic family of practice are very wary of them, and they continue to make small moves in secret. Our cooperation with the Nether Sea Organization has obviously violated their taboo, so they took action against us."

"Otherwise, I really can't think of any reason why such an influential force can attack us from all directions, but it is at this time point that they have not yet made their attitude clear."

"The mastermind behind the scenes may be Taixuanzong or Jingyuezong, or Jiang family or Liu family. At worst, it must be a second-level Xuanmen or Sima family."

"No matter who it is, we are not able to confront it head-on. The only way out is to express our attitude and suspend the cooperation with the Nether Sea Organization."

The bearded man said: "Since you are dissatisfied with the forces of the Nether Sea Organization, why did you come here to target us instead of attacking them directly? Isn't this just throwing everything at the bottom?"

Geng Hao said: "No, there are several reasons why I concluded that this incident is related to the Nether Sea Organization."

The first is the coincidental timing. "

"Secondly, it is the attitude of the Nether Sea organization branch in this city. Why are they willing to make such a large profit to cooperate with us in the production of warships and chariots? I want to show my sincerity, so now I understand everything.”

"Presumably they have encountered resistance from the Taoist sect or the aristocratic family before. Knowing that those big forces are secretly restricting their development, they can only choose to cooperate with us, so their attitude is very low, because they have no choice."

"The third is the attitude of the other party. Except for the murder and robbery that happened in Tianyuan Valley yesterday, the [-] merchant ships that were robbed before that rarely killed monks, and even many merchant ships were robbed by them. Afterwards, the delivery materials were destroyed on the spot.”

"This makes me even more convinced that they are here for the Nether Island's organizational forces. If they don't kill people, it means it's not for revenge. If they don't loot goods, it means it's not for money. If it's neither for hatred nor for money, what else can it be for? "

"If there is a direct enmity with us, the big forces that can dispatch so many people to ambush at the same time can do more than simply plunder merchant ships. They are using actions to hint or warn us."

"As for why they didn't directly attack the Nether Sea organization, there are many reasons. First of all, they definitely don't want to turn against the Nether Sea organization and cause a frontal confrontation."

"Second, not long after the Qinghai War ended, the Nether Sea organization paid a lot for the war situation and was one of the heroes of this war. The agreement to hand over part of Dongnae County to them was signed a long time ago. Everyone in the world knows that if they openly treat them To make a move, it cannot be justified emotionally or rationally, and it also provokes criticism from all over the world."

"Third, taking action against us can have the effect of killing chickens and monkeys, so that other forces dare not cooperate with the Nether Sea Organization. It can be said that their encirclement and suppression of us is for other chambers of commerce to see."

"In this way, not only avoiding a head-on collision with the Nether Sea organization, causing unnecessary trouble and criticism, but also achieving the same effect."

"Fourth, with such a big operation, there is no guarantee that all aspects will be perfect. If some of them fall and are captured and their identities are found out, it can also be said to be a personal grievance with our chamber of commerce, and the reason can be justified. "

"As long as they don't explicitly attack the Nether Sea organization, they won't be burdened with treachery, and other forces that are about to make a move have no excuse to accuse and pressure and join in."

"In this way, it can achieve the goal, avoid giving others a handle, and also deter other chambers of commerce. It can be said that it serves multiple purposes and is just right. The person who planned the whole thing behind must be a sophisticated figure."
