It turned out that after all the teleportation arrays were destroyed, it caused Jade Engraved City, which was originally the center of teleportation, to become an isolated island. The transmission of resources to the outside world was completely cut off, and the resources in the city became extremely scarce.
City Lord Shou Yu gathered the leaders of various parties to discuss, planning to rebuild the teleportation arrays. He first planned the construction of three short-distance and one mid-distance teleportation array, and assigned it to the four major factions: Daluo Chamber of Commerce, Hundred Steps Chamber of Commerce, Earth Spirit Sect, and Valley Sword Sect to manage.
The four major factions that obtained the quota were all overjoyed. Because Shou Yu promised the right to collect fees for the teleportation arrays, it would belong to the builder within a hundred years, and the City Lord's Mansion would be taken back after a hundred years. Furthermore, whoever built the teleportation arrays faster would have priority to obtain the quota for the subsequent construction.
One had to know that Jade Engraved City was originally one of the teleportation centers of the Immortal Continent. The number of people transported daily was as high as a hundred thousand. If they could enjoy the right to collect fees, they would be able to recoup the cost in a few years.
The four major factions were extremely excited, and began to build the teleportation arrays in full swing. At this time, they discovered that the resources in the city were even scarcer than everyone imagined. Some of the necessary materials for the teleportation arrays were practically impossible to find.
Hence, the rapid collection of materials became the top priority of the four major factions. This inevitably caused conflicts. The four major factions that were originally harmonious became incompatible with each other in just a few days.
Yang Qingxuan finished listening and immediately understood what was going on. He said with a slight smile, "At this time, whoever grasps the power and resources also grasps the resources."
Guan Peng was stunned, and his heart was abnormally shocked. He could not help sizing up Yang Qingxuan a few more times. Such incisive words coming from the mouth of a young man were truly somewhat unexpected, making him feel even more shocked. He hurriedly stood up and cupped his fists in salute, saying, "My lord's words hit the mark. The hostility and friction between the four major factions have already reached the point of being incompatible with each other. Now, everyone is not in a hurry to collect resources, but recruiting everywhere to deal with the increasingly severe conflicts. "
Yang Qingxuan said, "Jade Engraved City's City Lord does not care?"
Guan Peng said with a bitter smile, "Who knows what the City Lord is thinking. Moreover, Jade Engraved City is just a transmission center. Although it is prosperous, it does not possess the cultivation conditions, and there are no true powerhouses holding down the fort. It is virtually impossible for Lord Shou Yu to want to suppress the four factions, and can only mediate between them. Otherwise, the Four Sects wouldn't have been given such a lucrative job. "
Yang Qingxuan asked again, "You want me to join the Daluo Chamber of Commerce. Don't tell me you want me to rob the other three sects?"
Guan Peng hastily said, "How is that possible? In fact, the Daluo Merchant Association's resources are the most complete. Jade Engraved City is an important city of the Daluo Merchant Association on the Immortal Continent. Otherwise, Young Miss Hua Qing wouldn't be personally overseeing this place. We just hope that others won't rob us. "
He paused for a moment before continuing with a bitter expression, "In the past few days, several branches of the Daluo Chamber of Commerce have been robbed. Not only have they lost all their goods, but more than twenty people have also died."
Yang Qingxuan's expression changed slightly. He didn't expect things to develop to such a bad extent. "Is there no evidence to prove who did it?"
Guan Peng shook his head and said, "It's very secretive. These people are like a gust of wind, suddenly attacking at night, killing people and stealing their goods before leaving. Even if we know that it was done by the other three sects, what can we do? If it were made public, it would be tantamount to a declaration of war. Our Daluo Chamber of Commerce is ultimately a chamber of commerce, and our focus is on business. On the other hand, the Earth Spirit Sect and Hundred Swords Sect are sects, and their focus is on martial arts. If we were to fight them head-on, we would still be the ones at a disadvantage. "
Yang Qingxuan nodded and said, "That's true. Looking at the current situation, it seems like you're going to be eaten up."
Guan Peng sighed and said, "The Hundred Steps Chamber of Commerce seems to have given in. In the past few days, there hasn't been any progress in the construction of their transmission array. The person in charge of the chamber of commerce has also kept his mouth shut about this matter. If our Daluo Chamber of Commerce can't withstand the pressure of these two sects, I'm afraid the construction of the transmission array will fall through. The huge initial investment will go down the drain, and in the end, it will all become a wedding dress for others. "
Yang Qingxuan said, "I understand. I just don't know how confident Young Miss Hua Qing is in being able to withstand the pressure of the two sects and complete the transmission array. If there isn't even the slightest bit of confidence, I'm naturally unwilling to be cannon fodder. If Young Miss Hua Qing still has some confidence, then I, Yang Qingxuan, am naturally willing to lend a helping hand. "
He still had a good impression of the Daluo Chamber of Commerce. Hua Ling had helped him in the Heavenly Consort Academy, and now Hua Qing had saved his life. As long as it wasn't throwing away his life, he was very willing to help.
Guan Peng was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed. "Many thanks, Lord Qing Xuan. If Young Miss knows, she will definitely be very happy. Although I don't dare to say that I'm 100% confident in being able to withstand the pressure of the two sects, I still have some confidence. "
These words were ambiguous, but it made Yang Qingxuan feel that the current situation must be very bad. He frowned and asked, "Are there any Empyrean Realm experts in these two sects?"
Guan Peng was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and waved his hand. "Of course not. If there were any Empyrean Realm experts, then we wouldn't have any chance of resisting. Engraved Jade City isn't suitable for cultivation. Empyrean Realm experts staying here is completely destroying their own future. "
Yang Qingxuan nodded and said, "That's good." As long as there was no Empyrean Realm expert, even if they couldn't defeat a Nirvana Shatterer Realm expert, escaping wasn't a problem.
Guan Peng continued, "During this time, Lord can stay in the Daluo Chamber of Commerce's temporary Consecrator Pavilion. Every Consecrator will receive a considerable amount of spirit stones. May I ask … what is Lord's realm … If Lord finds it inconvenient to say, then just pretend I didn't ask."
Yang Qingxuan answered truthfully, "Sea of Reincarnation Realm."
Guan Peng was overjoyed and said excitedly, "It really is Lord of the Earth Realm. Daluo Chamber of Commerce's chances of winning have increased by a bit."
Yang Qingxuan asked with a calm expression, "How long will it take to repair the transportation formation?"
Guan Peng said, "If there are no external disturbances, it should be done in three months. There are many missing materials that need to be replaced. But if there are external forces, then it's hard to say. "
Yang Qingxuan stood up and said, "Alright, I'll have to trouble you to do it as soon as possible. During this time, I will cultivate in the residence you arranged for me. If there is anything, call me at any time. Do not disturb me if there is nothing. "
"Yes, yes!"
Guan Peng was overjoyed and hurriedly made arrangements. He respectfully handed over a storage pouch and said with a smile, "Every Earth Realm expert will be given five hundred thousand spirit stones as a tribute every day. Please accept it, sir."
When he first saw Yang Qingxuan, he felt that this youth was extraordinary and could be put to an important position. But from his age, he guessed that he was at most in the Origin Realm. He didn't expect him to be an Earth Realm expert.
Every time an Earth Realm elite joined the fray, their chances of winning would increase.
Yang Qingxuan was shocked. He didn't expect the Daluo Chamber of Commerce to be so generous. It seemed like Huaqing was determined to fight the two factions to the end.
He didn't hold back and took out the spirit stones. He said, "I just came to the Immortal Continent not long ago. I hope Lord Guan Peng can give me some information about the continent."
