The hermit Lu Family had several Class 4 Creation Masters.
The Ding Family was not willing to offend such a force.
But when he thought of the flames that burned Song Dingzhen and the others.
Even an emperor-class expert like him could not detect the truth of the flames.
It meant that the black-clothed youth's men were people that the Ding Family could not afford to offend and were not worthy of offending.
Ding Jian stood up and reported the situation to Ding Chengshuo as much as possible.
"Patriarch, the Deep Frost Trade Association's tree fortress caught fire this afternoon. Ding Kai and I went to investigate the situation as usual.
In the end, we found out that the fire was not a natural disaster but man-made. " “
Hearing this, Ding Chengshuo frowned and was instantly displeased.
Did the Deep Frost Trade Association's tree fortress need to be disturbed for such a small matter?
Just as Ding Chengshuo was getting angrier and angrier, Ding Chengshuo continued.
"The Deep Frost Trade Association's tree fortress was burned by a black-clothed youth.
"That black-clothed youth's servant has a combat power that Ding Kai and I can't sense.
"I speculate that the black-clothed youth's servant is at least a peak emperor-class expert.
"He might even be an Emperor-class expert."
Hearing about peak emperor-class and Emperor-class, Ding Chengshuo's breathing stopped.
Ding Chengshuo was very clear about what such powerful combat power meant.
Even if it was a peak emperor-class expert, it meant that the black-clothed youth who burned the Deep Frost Trade Association's tree fortress.
There was at least a Class 4 Creation Master or above.
If the black-clothed youth's servant really had Emperor-class combat power.
There must be a Class 4 Creation Master behind the black-clothed youth.
According to the information Ding Chao told him on the way here …
The black-clothed youth had black hair and black eyes and was from the Deep Lush Federation.
This black-clothed youth must be a direct descendant of one of the Deep Lush Federation's top hidden aristocratic families.
For a direct descendant of such an aristocratic family to openly make a move against the Deep Frost Trade Association, could it be that he had a conflict with the Lu Family?
Ding Chengshuo was going to find the Deep Frost Trade Association's Vice President, Song Dingzhen, to ask about the situation.
He wanted to see if Song Dingzhen knew the identity of the black-clothed youth.
Ding Chengshuo was only a Class 4 Creation Master.
He might be a Class 4 Creation Master and could enjoy the treatment of a Class 4 Creation Master and become a city lord.
However, Class 4 elementary Creation Masters were always strapped for many things.
Therefore, the Ding Family urgently needed to cozy up to a Mid-Class Class 4 Creation Master clan.
In this way, Ding Chengshuo would not only be able to receive pointers.
The top battle prowess of the Ding Family could also be improved by attaching themselves to powerful people.
This kind of behavior was very common in the royal capital, Sacred Forest City.
A pinnacle Class 4 Creation Master clan would have several low-class and mid-class Class 4 Creation Master clans as vassals.
It was this relationship that made the relationships between the aristocratic families in Sacred Forest City so complicated.
More often than not, the slightest move would affect the whole situation.
Even if the Ding Clan, which was far away in Oak City, were to cling onto an advanced Class 4 or pinnacle Creation Master clan in Sacred Forest City.
Due to the distance, it was very difficult for the Ding Clan to obtain any practical benefits.
It wasn't realistic for Sacred Forest City's high-grade or pinnacle Class 4 Creation Masters to come to Oak City.
But if he went to Sacred Forest City, he would have no choice but to abandon Oak City.
Without a key figure like him, the Ding Clan would definitely be unable to develop normally.
Furthermore, he didn't need to pledge his loyalty to a reclusive aristocratic family in the Deep Brahman Federation like he did to a 4-star advanced or pinnacle craftsman family in Sacred Forest City.
Before Ding Chengshuo could give the order to bring Song Dingzhen here, he heard Ding Jian speak.
"That black-robed youth gave the order to kill everyone in Deep Frost Merchant Guild, including Vice President Song Dingzhen."
"That youth's retainer also summoned 100 Diamond/Fantasy Breed insect-species feys during the battle."
Speaking up to this point, Ding Jian swallowed a mouthful of saliva, shocking Ding Chengshuo.
Over 100 Diamond/Fantasy Breed insect-species feys!
What did that mean?
Forget about whether a person could comprehend hundreds of Willpower Runes.
In order to nurture so many Diamond/Fantasy Breed insect-species feys, a Creation Master below the Class 4 rank would probably be exhausted to death.
That black-clothed youth and the Lu Family behind the Deep Frost Merchant Guild were both from the Deep Brahman Federation, yet they attacked without any qualms.
Obviously, they didn't take the Lu Family seriously.
Ding Chengshuo couldn't help but feel tempted.
However, before deciding to rope in this black-clothed youth, Ding Chengshuo still had to ask about some things.
For example, the reason for the conflict between this black-clothed youth and the Deep Frost Merchant Guild.
"Ding Jian, you have said so much. Do you know the reason for the conflict between the two sides?
"Our Ding Family is in charge of Oak City, so we have to show our attitude on such matters and give an explanation to the various factions in Oak City."
Ding Chengshuo didn't wish for Ding Jian to say that it was all that black-clothed youth's fault.
If that was the case, even if Ding Chengshuo made up his mind to rope in the black-clothed youth.
It wouldn't be good to find a reason to put the blame on the Deep Frost Merchant Guild.
Upon hearing that, Ding Jian replied with an indignant expression.
"For the past few years, the Deep Frost Merchant Guild has been using benefits that far exceed other merchant guilds to attract a large number of caravan members.
"In fact, the Deep Frost Merchant Guild has been killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.
"We have previously discussed that the number of caravans in Oak City has decreased by one-third over the past two years.
"This one-third of the caravans, excluding those that died in accidents …
"I'm afraid they have all been robbed and killed by the Deep Frost Merchant Guild."
Upon hearing that, Ding Chengshuo was instantly enraged and slammed his palm on the table.
At this moment, Ding Chengshuo didn't just want to put the blame on the Deep Frost Merchant Guild.
Instead, he truly hated the Deep Frost Merchant Guild.
The development and prosperity of a city didn't just depend on the number and standard of the Creation Masters in the city.
The most important thing was the number of caravans that came and went.
With the number of caravans decreasing by one-third, it meant that Oak City's prosperity had decreased by one-third.
Ding Chengshuo would never allow such an action that was akin to bleeding his own artery.
Originally, Ding Chengshuo hadn't thought of a reason to curry favor with that black-clothed youth.
Now, Ding Chengshuo had an idea.
Ding Chengshuo stood up and said, "The nature of this matter is vile.
"The nature of this matter is vile. I'll personally report to the Divine Wood Imperial Court about the Deepfrost Trade Association's actions in Oak City."
"The Divine Wood Royal Court will send someone down to investigate and see if the Deep Frost Merchant Guild's branches in other major cities have similar incidents.
"If there isn't, the Lu Family will have to pay a huge sum of money to my Oak City for Song Dingzhen's personal decision.
"If there is, the Royal Court will probably not allow the Lu Family to set up a merchant guild in the Divine Wood Federation again."
Just as Ding Chengshuo made his decision and was preparing to find out where Lin Yuan was and personally meet him …
Lin Yuan had already arrived at the entrance of the Flourishing Merchant Guild's Tree Fortress.
At this moment, Li Wan had just returned to the Flourishing Merchant Guild.
She was still recalling the scene of Lin Yuan giving the order to exterminate the Deep Frost Merchant Guild.
It could be said that the biggest beneficiary of Lin Yuan's action of exterminating the Deep Frost Merchant Guild was Li Wan.
