Li Yunxiao narrowed his eyes and said, "The Merchant Alliance looks like a pile of loose sand on the surface, but almost all of its power is in the hands of the four core alliances, and within these four core alliances, the Ten Thousand Treasure Tower and the Four Extremes Sect are the leaders. These two sects control more than half of the Merchant Alliance's power. If these two sects join hands, it's enough to command the entire Merchant Alliance and become a true colossus. "
Mo Xiaochuan smiled and said, "Don't worry about that. Wang Ba Xiong Tu, whoever doesn't move, I don't think there's any possibility of them cooperating."
Li Yunxiao said, "Under normal circumstances, they won't, but if there's an external pressure one day, the brothers will defend against it and unite as one!"
"External pressure?"
Mo Xiaochuan said, "What does Young Master Yun mean?"
Li Yunxiao smiled and said, "For example, those super large sects in the North Domain, who doesn't covet the benefits of the Merchant Alliance or the Sacred Domain? What do you think the Sacred Domain is? If it wasn't for everyone understanding this, once they put pressure on the Merchant Alliance, it would definitely cause them to be incomparably united internally. Therefore, all these years, the Merchant Alliance has been developing in a very relaxed environment, and no one would be stupid enough to touch them. "
Mo Xiaochuan said, "Then what are the North Domain sects planning?"
Li Yunxiao said, "They live in hardship and die in peace. Let the Merchant Alliance have internal friction, and when the internal friction is about done, they can swallow them up again. But this could also lead to another very bad result, and that is, in the Merchant Alliance's internal friction, an overlord would appear and truly unify the Merchant Alliance. That would definitely be a disastrous result for the North Domain! "
He smiled lightly and said, "But at least we can't see this kind of momentum right now. The North Domain sects won't allow this kind of thing to happen, and there will definitely be all kinds of movements behind the scenes to continuously break down the Merchant Alliance's internal unity. But the Merchant Alliance isn't easy to deal with either, but this kind of power struggle has nothing to do with us. "
The two continuously talked about all kinds of secrets of the continent, as well as the disputes of these years, while admiring the prosperity of Song Yueyang City, they were also very satisfied.
The compass chariot finally arrived at the designated location. As it continued forward, a few martial artists appeared in front of it and blocked the road. One of them shouted, "Who are you? Please get out of the chariot!"
Li Yunxiao flashed the Heavenly Essence Merchant Association's token. The eyes of those martial artists lit up as they exclaimed, "So, it's a supreme level member!"
Li Yunxiao kept the token and said, "On my way here, why did every merchant union draw a circle and list it as a forbidden area, not allowing outsiders to enter? Such a big city has been divided into dozens of forbidden areas of various sizes. "
The martial artist smiled bitterly and said, "Esteemed guest, you may not know this, but the Merchant Union's two sessions this time are much more intense than any previous sessions. Not only have they set up a forbidden area, but they have also set up an isolation array to shield them from the outside world. Anyone who enters must be strictly interrogated. But you're a Supreme member of the highest level, so you don't need to be interrogated. But … "
He hesitated for a moment before saying, "You can't go in right now."
Li Yunxiao frowned slightly and said, "Why? I want to see your clan's Young Lady Ding."
That martial artist said awkwardly, "Just now, Young Master brought a group of people in, and he strictly ordered that without his orders, no one is allowed to enter."
"Young Master?" Li Yunxiao frowned and said, "The Young Master you speak of, could it be Ding Ling 'er's younger brother, Ding Peng?"
That martial artist said, "It is Young Master Ding Peng. We don't dare to disobey the orders from above. Please wait a moment, it shouldn't be long."
Li Yunxiao said, "Then is Ding Ling 'er inside?"
That martial artist said, "Young Lady Ding is also inside. She should have something important to discuss with you."
Suddenly, Li Yunxiao's heart stirred. An inexplicable feeling of irritation welled up in his heart, as if he sensed that something was about to happen. His expression changed abruptly, and he said, "Let me in!" Then, without any explanation, he strode inside.
The surrounding martial artists were all aghast, and they said, "Esteemed guest, please don't make things difficult for us!"
Li Yunxiao had the highest level of Supreme Token. Those who could have this token were all close friends of the Heavenly Yuan Chamber of Commerce, or people who had made great contributions to the Chamber of Commerce. In the entire Sky Martial Continent, there were no more than five. They couldn't afford to offend this kind of person, but Ding Peng had ordered them to follow.
"Alright, I won't make things difficult for you."
Li Yunxiao's mental power spread out, and the space around him distorted. He and Mo Xiaochuan immediately teleported away, leaving behind a blank space.
That martial artist was taken aback, and then he said with great shock, "Not good! They must have gone in, quickly inform Young Master Ding Peng! "
One of the martial artists quickly ran inside, and he could faintly see Li Yunxiao and Mo Xiaochuan's figures in front of them. He shouted with all his might, "Stop!"
But how could the two of them pay attention to him, and they disappeared into the forbidden area of the Heavenly Yuan Chamber of Commerce.
In the main hall of the Heavenly Yuan Chamber of Commerce, there was a gloomy atmosphere.
Ding Ling 'er sat on the main seat, and Yu Rong stood on her left. There were four other martial artists standing behind her. They weren't very strong, and they were all only Martial Monarchs.
On the guest seat, an elegant young man was leisurely tasting the tea in his hand, and from time to time, he would use the lid to gently remove the tea leaves. There were also four martial artists standing beside the man, and they all had cold expressions, filled with a baleful aura.
A young man walked up to the main seat, and he didn't dare to look Ding Ling 'er in the eye. He lowered his head and said, "Sister, I'm doing this to help the Heavenly Yuan Chamber of Commerce. This Chamber of Commerce was built by Father, and I can't just watch him destroy it. "
Ding Ling 'er's cold and angry gaze shifted from him to the young man below. She said coldly, "Young Master Wu, if you have something to say, just say it. Ding Ling' er is all ears!"
The young man, Wu Yu, put down his teacup and said with a smile, "Haha, Sister Ling 'er's words and actions are still as nimble as before. I have always admired you. Ever since I met Sister Ling 'er at the East Region's mine source competition … "
Ding Ling 'er waved her hand and interrupted, "Let's not talk about the past. If Young Master Wu has nothing else, I'll see you out!"
Wu Yu wasn't angry, and he chuckled. "Why is Sister Ling 'er's temper getting more and more irritable? Could it be related to the current situation of the Heavenly Yuan Chamber of Commerce? It's causing Sister Ling 'er to toil all day, and her temper is getting worse by the day? "
Ding Ling 'er snorted coldly. "Is there anything wrong with the Heavenly Yuan Chamber of Commerce's situation? I feel that everything is fine. "
Ding Peng couldn't help but reprimand, "Sister! Young Master Wu is here to help us, but why are you so cold? You're pushing the Chamber of Commerce into a pit of fire by rejecting your friend like this. No wonder after Father handed over the Chamber of Commerce to you, it's getting worse every year! "
"Ding Peng!"
Ding Ling 'er scolded angrily, "Step aside! Their Luo Qu Chamber of Commerce has been eyeing us covetously, and they've been secretly targeting us all these years. They're our number one enemy, and you're saying that you're helping us? Since when did you get involved with them?! "
After Ding Peng was scolded, his face flushed red, and he had an appearance of throwing caution to the wind as he roared, "What do you mean get involved with them? I'm discussing business with Young Master Wu with the identity of the Heavenly Yuan Chamber of Commerce's Young Lord! You'll only continuously make enemies for the chamber of commerce, while I can turn enemies into friends. Not only did I stop competing with us, I came to help us instead! The difference in our abilities is clear at a glance! "
Ding Ling 'er was angered until her entire body was trembling, and she said furiously, "You scram to one side for me! I call the shots in the Heavenly Yuan Chamber of Commerce! "
Ding Peng said coldly, "Based on what? Just based on Father's muddle-headed decision? Father is already old and can't differentiate between good and bad people at all. Such an important meeting, and Father actually didn't come to participate. He's already powerless to do anything about the chamber of commerce's matters. And I, as Father's only son, absolutely can't watch the chamber of commerce be ruined in your hands without doing anything! "
"You, you're infuriating me to death! Elder Yu, take him down and lock him up! "
Ding Ling 'er slapped the table and stood up, not lightly angered.
Wu Yu had been sneering for a long time by the side before slowly saying, "Sister Ling 'er, no need to get angry. Although your younger brother is young, his abilities in all aspects are indeed not beneath yours. What he said is not false. If we can come to an agreement today, then our two chambers of commerce will be as close as a family, and there will no longer be any distinction between us and enemies. Isn't this a great thing? Let me ask you, having been in power for so long, have you ever reached this step? "
Ding Ling 'er suppressed the anger in her heart, and said coldly, "Oh, I would like to hear this useless younger brother of mine talk to you about being as close as a family, without any distinction between you and him!"
Wu Yu smiled and said, "Actually, it's a very simple matter. Since the Heavenly Yuan Chamber of Commerce's development till today, there have indeed been very glorious times, but now it's already very desolate. Its overall strength is far inferior to our Luo Qu Chamber of Commerce. But if we can obtain the full support of our Luo Qu Chamber of Commerce, we can definitely return to the peak! "
Ding Ling 'er said coldly, "Wu Yu, has your Luo Qu Chamber of Commerce become a charity hall? Learning from that Screw Emperor Wu, not benefiting yourself, but only helping others."
Wu Yu laughed and said, "Haha, there's naturally no free lunch in this world. Younger Sister Ling 'er naturally has to contribute as well. Actually, it's very simple. As long as Younger Sister Ling 'er marries me, we husband and wife will jointly control two large chambers of commerce, and then merge them into one. Let me ask you, isn't this permanent director position in the bag? "
Ding Peng said, "That's right, Elder Sister! At that time, Young Master Wu will become my brother-in-law, and our two chambers of commerce will be very close. Brother-in-law will be the chairman, and I will be the vice-chairman. At that time, even squeezing into the core four alliances is also a piece of cake. "
Ding Ling 'er felt her head spin, and she was so angry that she almost fainted on the spot. Her petite body kept trembling, and her anger was stifled in her chest, unable to speak.
Yu Rong said angrily, "Young Master Peng, you're really muddle-headed! Wouldn't this be handing over the chamber of commerce to this surnamed Wu on a silver platter! "
Ding Peng pointed at Yu Rong and berated, "Who do you think you are, to also dare to point and lecture me? Old slave, get lost for this young master! "
He said, "Elder Sister, you mustn't listen to this old slave's nonsense. At that time, our two families will share the chamber of commerce, and what belongs to Brother-in-law will also be yours. Otherwise, with this kind of situation, there's simply no way to hold on. Once we lose the qualifications of a board member, we'll immediately face the outcome of being devoured. I'm also doing this for the good of Father's business. "
