Xing Lian's words caused everyone present to fall silent.
Although his words sounded unreasonable, he had exposed the cruel truth in front of everyone.
That was right.
What was the Divine Grace Chamber of Commerce compared to the North Moon Peak?
Right now, the North Moon Peak was worried that the Hidden Sword Venerable was suppressing them, so they didn't dare to act recklessly. But even so, how long could the Divine Grace Chamber of Commerce last by relying on such a slow method?
"So … it has really come to this."
Su Xiao's face was filled with disappointment.
"Eldest Miss …"
Su Tong looked at Su Xiao and a trace of worry flashed across her face.
Although she was very dissatisfied with Xing Lian's way of saying these words without leaving any leeway, she had to admit that what he said was the truth.
Moreover, she knew Xing Lian's character. He was not the kind of person who was afraid of death and would live an ignoble life.
"Then … what can we do next?"
"I think …"
Xing Lian was about to say something when a voice suddenly came from outside. "Sister, why don't you ask Master for help?"
Immediately after, Su Yuan, who was clean and tidy, walked in from outside the hall. He looked extraordinarily handsome.
"Brother."
Seeing Su Yuan who looked no different from an ordinary person, Su Xiao's originally gloomy face suddenly broke into a smile.
Even though everything that had happened to the Divine Grace Merchant Guild during this period of time had caused her to frown, the fact that Su Yuan had regained his consciousness made her feel happy from the bottom of her heart.
"Young Master."
The others in the hall also nodded at Su Yuan.
As the only male descendant of the Su Family, by right, he should be the best successor of the Divine Grace Chamber of Commerce. Unfortunately, he had been harmed when he was young and his sanity had been damaged. That was why the position of Divine Grace Chamber of Commerce's president had fallen to Su Xiao.
But now …
The Divine Grace Chamber of Commerce could not survive. Even if he, the Young Master, recovered at the crucial moment, there was no point.
"Greetings, uncles."
Su Yuan bowed slightly to the people around him. He looked very polite.
"Brother, it's not that we don't want to ask your Master for help. It's just that your Master is just an outsider. It's not good for him to interfere with the business of the Divine Grace Chamber of Commerce. Secondly … he's only in the Transcendent State. Even if he's willing to help, what can he do for the Divine Grace Chamber of Commerce? No matter what, he helped you regain your sanity. He's the benefactor of the Su Family. Under such circumstances, the Divine Grace Chamber of Commerce is in a precarious situation. I really don't want to implicate him and bring death to him. "
Su Xiao looked at Su Yuan. Although she was pleased that he cared about the chamber of Commerce's business, she could only patiently explain.
"Although Master is a Transcendent Elite, according to my understanding of Master, his true ability is far beyond that of an ordinary Transcendent Elite. If you are really willing to ask Master for help, I believe that Master will definitely be able to help the Divine Grace Chamber of Commerce get through this difficult situation."
Apparently, Xiao was Su Yuan's Of the Heavens.
"That's impossible."
Su Xiao shook her head. "Currently, the North Moon Peak is very powerful. Other than the Aurora Peak and the Hidden Sword Peak where the Sect Leader is, no other peak can go against them. Even if your Master's combat power is far beyond his current state and can even stand shoulder to shoulder with the Golden Core State cultivators, he still can't do anything against the North Moon Peak. After all, other than the Peak Master, the North Moon Peak has several Golden Core State guests, as well as many Never-Ending State and Transcendent State elders …"
At this point, she didn't continue.
"This …"
Hearing Su Xiao say that even a Golden Core State cultivator could not help the Divine Grace Chamber of Commerce, Su Yuan could not help but be dumbfounded.
"Alright, brother, you're so considerate."
When Su Xiao said this, a trace of bitterness appeared on his face. "Xing Lian's words make sense. Right now, the North Moon Peak that is at its peak is much stronger than the Divine Grace Chamber of Commerce that is on the decline … If we continue to resist, we will indeed die. Originally, I did not wish for the foundation that father gave me to decline in my hands, but now it seems … the choice is not in my hands at all. If I continue to stubbornly persist like this, in the end, I will only cause you and the other uncles to lose their lives in vain."
"Young Mistress …"
A trace of sorrow flashed across Su Tong's eyes.
The remaining Xing Lian and the group of True Energy Realm cultivators heaved a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted from their shoulders.
According to Young Mistress's words, she was obviously planning to submit to one of the Hidden Sword Sect's factions. This way, they would finally not have to live such a precarious life in fear.
Even if they might lose the good treatment and benefits they currently had, compared to losing their lives, the loss of the resources that they could use to their advantage was not unacceptable.
"Then … Young Mistress, what do you plan to do? Do we choose the Aurora Peak or the Hidden Sword Peak of the Sect Leader's faction? "
At this time, the Transcendent State elder asked softly.
Su Xiao glanced at him. Obviously, this Transcendent State elder who was loyal and devoted to her father had already thought of giving up.
The situation was hopeless …
"The North Moon Peak has persecuted our Divine Grace Chamber of Commerce many times. Quite a few of our Senior Elders and Elders have died in their hands. Even if I were to surrender, I would definitely not surrender to them so easily. As for the Hidden Sword Peak … they are fellow disciples of the Hidden Sword Sect. In order to swallow our Divine Grace Chamber of Commerce, they actually watched as the North Moon Peak persecuted our Divine Grace Chamber of Commerce without doing anything. Such a heartless and unjust peak, I would similarly not choose them … even if … they hold the greatest reputation!"
"Then … Young Mistress, you choose the Aurora Peak?"
Su Xiao bit her lips. "It can only be the Aurora Peak. Behind the Aurora Peak is also a powerful Chaos organization. Their influence is not weak. If we choose them, our Divine Grace Chamber of Commerce will have a trace of hope to seek revenge on Du Longzi and Mu Yinglong of the North Moon Peak in the future."
"Then … I will go and contact the Aurora Peak now? When the Peak Master of the Aurora Peak, Lu Xiangyang, recruited us, he left behind a mother-son communication jade talisman. "
Su Tong said.
Su Xiao nodded weakly. "Remember, our condition is that they must rescue Elder Jin Yin."
"I understand."
Su Tong nodded seriously and quickly took out a communication jade talisman.
After the message was sent out, they waited quietly.
Su Xiao glanced at the people present who were obviously more relaxed after the message was sent out. In the end, she could only sigh.
Divine Grace Chamber of Commerce …
Could they not escape the fate of being annexed in the end?
After waiting for less than an hour, the communication jade talisman in Su Tong's hand vibrated slightly. In the next moment, she had already taken out the jade talisman. After reading the message on it, she turned to Su Xiao. "Young Mistress, the people from the Aurora Peak have replied. They have agreed to our request and will take action three days later to rescue Elder Jin Yin. They have also promised to let us follow the Aurora Peak. However, their request is that the Divine Grace Chamber of Commerce has to give 200 Daoist rhymes to the Aurora Peak. Furthermore, the Aurora Peak has to send one person to the Divine Grace Chamber of Commerce. This person will not affect the internal operations of the Divine Grace Chamber of Commerce but will have the right to appoint and dismiss any position."
Speaking of this, her tone paused slightly. "Including you, Young Mistress, as the President …"
Hearing this, Su Xiao instantly laughed bitterly. "At least they didn't take away our President position immediately. Isn't that pretty good?"
After a moment, she said again, "Then, the safety of the people in the Divine Grace Chamber of Commerce …"
"Once the Divine Grace Chamber of Commerce encounters any problems or troubles, the Aurora Peak will have full authority to solve it."
"They are treating the Divine Grace Chamber of Commerce as a money-making tool."
Su Xiao saw the essence of it at a glance.
Su Tong, Xing Lian, and the rest fell silent and did not say anything.
After a while, Su Xiao said, "Forget it. This is already the best ending. At least we are still useful. If we are useful, I believe the Aurora Peak will not abandon us so easily. Then, let's agree to their request. Three days later, I need to see them rescue Elder Jin Yin with my own eyes. As long as they rescue Elder Jin Yin, I can give them whatever they want, be it the Daoist item or the right to appoint personnel in the Divine Grace Chamber of Commerce."
"Alright, I will reply to the Aurora Peak now."
Su Yuan, who was at the side, saw this and quickly said, "Sister, are we really not going to discuss this with my Master? Who knows, he might have a way … "
Su Xiao shook her head. "I am very grateful that your Master was able to restore your consciousness and teach you cultivation. However, this is not something that a Transcendent Realm cultivator can easily intervene in. Elder Danqing and Elder Jin Yin are the best examples. Not to mention, there is also the example of Elder Liu, Elder Zhou, and Elder He … Let's not harm him …"
After saying this, she turned to Su Tong. "Just reply to Peak Master Lu of the Aurora Peak like this."
"Yes, Miss."
Su Yuan saw that Su Xiao seemed to have made up her mind and could not be dissuaded. He could not help but feel anxious. He quickly turned around and left the hall.
However, at this moment, Su Xiao was in a daze because she had to personally hand over the Divine Grace Chamber of Commerce. She did not notice Su Yuan's abnormality and allowed him to run out.
After leaving the hall, Su Yuan immediately went to Tsing Hui's courtyard and shouted, "Master, Master, are you here?"
Hearing Su Yuan's shout, the Green Netherworld Realm guard walked out immediately. "Young Master, are you Xun Yuqing? Senior Yuqing went to the Emerald Swamp and is cultivating there. He has been gone for more than a month now. "
"A month? Then, did Master say when he would be back? "
"This … I don't know."
"This is troublesome."
Su Yuan's heart was filled with anxiety. In the end, he could only look at the Green Netherworld Realm guard. "Guard Big Brother, can you bring me to the Emerald Swamp? I have something important to tell Master. If I can't let Master know about this, I'm afraid our Divine Grace Merchant Association will be in danger of being destroyed."
"What?"
The Green Netherworld Realm guard was shocked.
He was sent by Su Tong to listen to Tsing Hui's orders. Naturally, he was a trustworthy subordinate. He had a strong sense of belonging to the Divine Grace Chamber of Commerce. Now that he heard that the Divine Grace Chamber of Commerce was in danger of being destroyed, he could not help but worry. "Then … then what should we do?"
"We can only find Master now. Only by finding Master can we save the Divine Grace Chamber of Commerce! Therefore, Guard, please bring me to the Emerald Swamp. "
Hearing this, the Green Netherworld Realm guard hesitated for a moment. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, Young Master, I will bring you there now. Our Divine Grace Chamber of Commerce has withstood the pressure of the North Moon Peak for so long. One day, we will hold on until the Hidden Sword Venerable comes out of seclusion. At that time, all the members of the Divine Grace Chamber of Commerce who have sacrificed themselves in these years will be able to be avenged.
