Looking at the backs of the disciples of the three sects, Liu Qingrui let out a long breath. Although they allowed some of the disciples to break through, they still managed to kill half of the opponents. This was enough to make the three sects behave for a while. Moreover, the three sects should also know that Liu Qingrui had completely sided with the Chamber of Commerce. If they were to go against the Chamber of Commerce, then they would definitely suffer. Liu Qingrui's expression changed.
Although the Gold Spirit Trading Company hadn't done anything to destroy sects, and even if they did, they would do it behind the scenes. However, if someone were to provoke them, then they wouldn't be polite. Because of this, the three sects didn't dare to go against the Chamber of Commerce. They could only control the Chamber of Commerce in secret.
But now, the Chamber of Commerce had gained complete control over the entire Three Mountain City through the Sea Exploring Gang. If the three sects wanted to intervene, then it would be very difficult. The Chamber of Commerce wouldn't agree. Because of this, the three sects would have to behave for a long time.
After thinking about this, Liu Qingrui couldn't help but turn his head to look at the people who helped them deal with the three sects. These people were sent by President Bao, and Liu Qingrui was about to thank them. But when Liu Qingrui turned his head and cupped his fist towards these people, they immediately cupped their fist towards him before turning around and flying away.
When Liu Qingrui saw this, he didn't stop them. Instead, he turned his head to look at the battle in the Spirit Snake Valley. The battle in the valley was still ongoing. The Rogue Cultivators were attacking the Sea Exploring Gang like crazy. However, their numbers were too few. Moreover, Liu Qingrui's poison had already killed a lot of them. Because of this, the Rogue Cultivators couldn't hold on much longer.
Liu Qingrui looked at these people and coldly snorted. Then he turned to Jiao Jinfeng and the others and said, "Attack. Scatter the Rogue Cultivators. Don't let them live." Jiao Jinfeng and the others nodded and then began to attack the Rogue Cultivators. The Rogue Cultivators finally couldn't hold on any longer. Some of them began to run away. However, the direction they ran towards was special. Many of them directly drilled into the mine and then disappeared.
Before long, the Rogue Cultivators couldn't hold on any longer. They also discovered that the people from the three sects had already fled. There was no point in them staying behind to fight Liu Qingrui. Therefore, they also turned around and fled.
After all of them ran away, Liu Qingrui had the Sea Exploring Gang clean up the battlefield. All of the Sea Exploring Gang's dead disciples were buried. As for the rogue cultivators, they were directly burned.
While the disciples were dealing with the corpses, Liu Qingrui took Jiao Jinfeng and the others to deal with the mines in the Spirit Snake Valley. All of the mines were sealed by their spells, leaving nothing behind.
After this was done, Liu Qingrui led the army back to Three Mountains City. By the time they arrived, the sky was already dark. Although the disciples of the Sea Exploring Sect were tired, they were still very excited. Each and every one of them walked with their heads held high. One could see from their appearance that they had won the battle.
When the Rogue Cultivators in Three Mountains City saw the appearance of the Sea Exploring Gang, they couldn't help but let out a long breath. They didn't think that the Sea Exploring Gang would come back victorious.
The Rogue Cultivators in Three Mountain City weren't fools. They were very clear about the competition between the upper echelons of Three Mountain City. They knew that it was a competition between the three sects and the Gold Spirit Trading Company. In the past, both sides were evenly matched. The Gold Spirit Trading Company controlled the upper echelons of Three Mountain City and controlled most of the city's income. The Gold Spirit Trading Company took the lion's share of the income.
However, the three sects controlled the gangs in Three Mountains City. This meant that they controlled the lower echelons of the city. Although they received a small portion of the income, it was still a lot.
However, the sudden rise of the Sea Exploring Gang had changed everything. They knew that the Sect Master of the Sea Exploring Gang had joined the Chamber of Commerce and had a very secretive relationship with the Chamber of Commerce. They also knew that the Sect Master of the Sea Exploring Gang had joined the Chamber of Commerce and had a great enmity with the Three Sects. Therefore, the Sea Exploring Gang naturally sided with the Chamber of Commerce. Now that the Sea Exploring Gang had unified the entire Three Mountain City, the entire city would be under the Chamber of Commerce's control.
Liu Qingrui didn't care too much about this. After having the Sea Exploring Gang return to their encampment, he immediately went to the Chamber of Commerce and requested an audience with the Association Master. Association Master Bao told Liu Qingrui to go to the Chamber of Commerce as soon as he returned. Therefore, Liu Qingrui didn't delay.
Upon arriving at the Chamber of Commerce, Liu Qingrui immediately went to the Association Master's office to request an audience. Association Master Bao immediately invited Liu Qingrui into his office. When Liu Qingrui entered the office, he saw Association Master Bao sitting there with a smile on his face. Liu Qingrui immediately went forward and gave a salute to Association Master Bao and said, "I've seen the Association Master. Today's mission has been completed. The three sects have been repelled by us, and the Rogue Cultivators have also been killed."
President Bao nodded and said: "I already know. It seems like the people of the three sects will be well-behaved for a while. You have done well, very well. You have done even better. You even came up with the idea of using smoke in the Spirit Serpent Valley, forcing them to have a decisive battle with us. Very good, very good."
Liu Qingrui quickly replied, "Association Master is too polite. This is what I should do."
The Association Master nodded and said in a deep voice, "The three sects should be more well-behaved for a period of time. If they still don't behave, then don't blame me for being impolite. You control the Sea Exploring Gang well. However, Qing Rui, I have to tell you something. I'm afraid you won't be able to hold the position of Sea Exploring Gang's leader for long."
Liu Qingrui stared, then he looked at the Association Master and said, "I ask the Association Master to explain."
The President said, "You haven't been in the trading firm for a long time, but your performance was very good. Although you restrained yourself a lot, your performance was still very good. The branch competition is actually a selection of talents for the Main Hall. You've already entered the top 50 of the branch competition, so you can have the opportunity to join the Main Hall. How about it?" Zhao Hai nodded and said, "You've already entered the top 50 of the branch competition. Are you willing? "
Liu Qingrui stared, then he smiled and said, "I'm willing, of course I'm willing. Thank you, Association Master."
The Association Leader nodded, then he said, "Not only you, Qing Song also has this opportunity. I think that it won't be long before you and Qing Song can go to the Main Hall. However, you should stay in the Main Hall and be sent to other places to carry out other missions. Qing Rui, you must remember that if you enter the Dark Hall, you won't have any friends. Moreover, you must complete as many missions as you can in the Dark Hall. It's best if you complete them by yourself. When you team up with other people to complete missions, not only must you be careful of your enemies, you must also be careful of your teammates. Do you understand?" The Association Leader nodded, then he said, "Qing Rui, you must remember that once you enter the Dark Hall, you won't have any friends.
When Liu Qingrui heard the Association Master, he stared for a moment before he nodded and said, "Yes, I understand. I ask the Association Master to rest assured."
The President nodded, then he said, "You came from our Three Mountains City's branch. Nobody has ever been to the Main Hall before, so naturally, nobody can take care of you. You have to rely on yourself, so you need to be careful at all times. You're safe in the Main Hall, but if you go out to do missions, then it's hard to say what will happen. There are many ways to make people die outside, do you understand what I mean?" Zhao Hai nodded, then he said, "Alright.
Liu Qingrui replied, "I understand, Association Master can rest assured."
The President nodded, then he patted Liu Qingrui's shoulder and said, "No matter where you go, you must remember that you are a member of our Three Mountains City's branch. Although our Three Mountains City's branch is a newly established one and isn't very strong, I still have some acquaintances in the Main Hall. If someone goes too far, I won't be polite. So you don't have to worry about anything, understood?" Liu Qingrui nodded, then he patted Liu Qingrui's shoulder.
Liu Qingrui replied, "Yes, Association Master, I understand."
The Association Master nodded, then he looked at Liu Qingrui and said, "Good, it's good that you understand. You can go back and explain to your people that even if you leave the Exploring Sea Gang, I won't send anyone to replace you. You can choose someone from the Exploring Sea Gang to replace you. As long as you guarantee that person's loyalty to the Chamber of Commerce, everything else can be discussed."
Liu Qingrui nodded and said, "I understand. Rest assured, Association Master, I'll arrange it. I think Jiao Jinfeng is a good person, he can replace me."
The president said in a deep voice, "You can handle this matter yourself. I won't interfere. Alright, go and rest."
Liu Qingrui nodded, then he gave the Association Master a salute before leaving the room. The Association Master waited until Liu Qingrui left before returning to his seat. Then he took out a jade slip and looked at it. However, a smile appeared on his face.
The reason why the Association Master was happy was because Liu Qingrui went to the Main Hall. If Liu Qingrui didn't go to the Main Hall, then the Association Master would suspect him. But because Liu Qingrui didn't hesitate to go to the Main Hall, the Association Master felt relieved. Just as the Association Master said, the Three Mountains City's branch was a new one. Its strength was very small. If Liu Qingrui was really a spy sent by another Sect, then the Three Mountains City's branch wouldn't be able to stop him. If Liu Qingrui didn't want to go to the Main Hall, then the Association Master would have directly eliminated him. This was because Liu Qingrui might be a spy sent by another Sect.
But if Liu Qingrui went to the Main Hall, then the situation would be different. What kind of place was the Gold Spirit Trading Company's Main Hall? The Main Hall was very powerful. If Liu Qingrui went to the Main Hall, then even if he had other ideas, he wouldn't be able to cause any trouble. If he was honest, then it would be fine. But if he dared to cause trouble, then the Main Hall would be the first to deal with him. Every year, the Gold Spirit Trading Company dealt with a lot of spies.
The Association Master wasn't worried that the Main Hall would deal with him because of a traitor. His family and his soulfire were all in the Main Hall. Because of this, the people in the Main Hall weren't worried about him. Therefore, even if Liu Qingrui committed a crime in the Main Hall, the Association Master wouldn't be implicated. Now, the Association Master could finally relax.
The Association Master was still suspicious of Liu Qingrui, but he didn't have any evidence. Liu Qingrui had done everything perfectly. And because of this, the Association Master began to doubt him.
