Outside the Fog Forest, Nongzhu was wandering around. According to reliable sources, Yue Qianchou was hiding inside, so Nongzhu tried his best to find him, but to no avail.
After wandering around for a few days, Nongzhu felt that something was wrong. According to her understanding of Yue Qianchou, that guy was a restless person. Why would he stay inside?
Coincidentally, she received news that a guy called Niu Youde had cheated a lot of spirit stones from Later Zhou. Nongzhu's first reaction was that this Niu Youde might be Yue Qianchou.
However, when she heard that this Niu Youde was a Soul Formation expert, Nongzhu denied her previous guess. Yue Qianchou could change his appearance, but his cultivation couldn't be faked.
However, Nongzhu was very curious about who this Niu Youde was. Even with her vast knowledge in the cultivation world, she had never heard of this person. Out of curiosity, she decided to go to Ghost Manor to take a look. Others might be afraid of the one-armed old man, but he didn't care.
Before she left, she suddenly heard another shocking news … In the sacred land of Bi Wan, Wen Lanfeng defeated six late-stage Soul Formation experts, Pei Fang was seriously injured, and one of his palms was cut off by Wen Lanfeng's sword. There were also five experts who admitted defeat to Wen Lanfeng.
The most baffling thing was that Wen Lanfeng had said that he admired Yue Qianchou very much after hearing that he was overflowing with talent. He also warned the Soul Formation experts who were preparing to deal with Yue Qianchou that he wouldn't sit idly by.
In the southeast of the Fog Forest, several cultivators were preparing all kinds of food and flattering Nongzhu in a large pile of rocks. There were also a few who were telling Nongzhu the latest news.
Holding a roasted muntjac leg, Nongzhu squatted on the big rock and stared at the people who were looking at her in shock. "Is this news true? Are you sure? "
"Senior Nongzhu, we would never dare to lie to you!" One of them patted his chest and guaranteed, "This news is absolutely true. Right now, this matter has already spread like wildfire. There's no way it's fake."
"Eat and drink well. I'll go ask Wen Lanfeng." Nongzhu threw the roasted muntjac leg into the man's arms and disappeared into thin air. The man hugged the oily roasted muntjac leg and looked at the others.
In the Plum Garden of the Ghost Manor, Yue Qianchou, who had extorted all the countries, used his free time to practice the 'Animal Show' in the garden. This was something that he would practice whenever he was free. He had always been very confident in the things that Bi Changchun came up with, so he would practice hard whenever he was free.
Fu Chun and Qin Jiaxing didn't understand what their boss was doing, but it didn't matter whether they understood or not. The task that Yue Qianchou gave them was to inquire about the news of the cultivation world every day. The two of them were happy to be the best among the wandering cultivators.
When Yue Qianchou heard the news that Wen Lanfeng defeated six cultivators at the late Soul Formation stage, he was really amazed. It would be a lie to say that he was not envious. However, he was still quite disdainful of the fact that Wen Lanfeng beat Pei Fang seriously but didn't kill him. It was obvious that he had already offended Pei Fang, but he still left a source of trouble. Would Wen Lanfeng say that he was good?
When he heard Wen Lanfeng say that he would support him, Yue Qianchou was completely speechless. He wandered around the plum garden with his hands behind his back, looking at the sky and then the ground. In short, he was full of questions. What could he do?
There were old branches in the plum garden, but there were no plums to compete with. Yue Qianchou wandered around the bare plum forest for a long time, but he really couldn't figure out why. Although he had long heard of Wen Lanfeng, the love addict, he had never seen him before. He didn't even know how tall, short, fat, or thin he was.
After thinking about it, he could only think of one possibility. He knew that Wen Lanfeng went to the Demon Domain to challenge his master. If an expert like Wen Lanfeng came out to support him, it must be related to the Demon Domain.
Old Bi didn't seem like someone who would ask for help! Could it be related to Nongzhu? Yue Qianchou snapped a plum branch absentmindedly. He guessed that it was possible, but he couldn't be sure.
"Who cares. I can't be bothered to think about it. It's not a bad thing anyway." Yue Qianchou muttered and threw away the plum branch in his hand. He waved his hand to summon his two subordinates, who were reporting the news, and asked, "Are you ready for tomorrow?"
The two replied, "Everything is ready." Yue Qianchou nodded with satisfaction. Fu Chun asked hesitantly, "Boss, are we really going to go with whoever gives us the most money?"
"Of course!" Yue Qianchou wandered away with his hands behind his back. The two who were left behind looked at each other in confusion.
Ghost Manor welcomed the same liveliness it had ten days ago.
Inexperienced Loose Cultivators crowded around the manor. There seemed to be even more people than the last time. There was no other reason than the arrival of a large group of experts. However, this time, the experts didn't seem to be in a good mood.
They had to suffer in silence. As long as the people involved knew what was going on, they wouldn't let the surrounding Loose Cultivators know. However, the Loose Cultivators weren't fools. They could guess what was going on even if they didn't say it out loud. These people had been cheated of so much money. They would probably be punished by their sect elders when they got back.
However, Niu Youde didn't go too far this time. He didn't ask them to pay for the queue. After Fu Chun and Qin Jiaxing took the jade archives from the crowd, they said, "Please wait a moment." Then, they entered the plum garden together. Most of the crowd waited silently for the final result, then prepared to rush back to report.
Among the crowd, Yu Lan looked around, looking for Guan Zhongkai. After suffering a loss, he finally understood that Guan Zhongkai was trying to warn him, but he didn't appreciate it and fell for it. Now that he thought about it, he felt sorry for himself and his old friend's good intentions!
To his disappointment, he didn't see Guan Zhongkai. Instead, he saw Guan Zhongkai's Junior Brother, Nie Sheng.
Yu Lan squeezed through the crowd curiously and came to Nie Sheng's side. He asked, "Brother Nie, why isn't your Senior Brother Guan Zhongkai here?"
Nie Sheng glanced at him and knew that he was his Eldest Senior Brother's old friend. He expressionlessly replied, "Master has other matters for Senior Brother to attend to. He left this to me."
Seeing his indifferent expression, Yu Lan softly said, "Oh." Then, he didn't say anything else.
One mustn't wash one's dirty linen in public. In fact, there were some things that Nie Sheng couldn't tell him. Ten days ago, when Guan Zhongkai returned, he nervously told Sikong Jue about how he had been cheated. As a result, Sikong Jue flew into a rage.
To Sikong Jue and the World Commerce Association, a hundred million spirit stones wasn't a big deal. However, this Eldest Senior Brother had embarrassed him time and time again. It was inexcusable to cover up for him. He wouldn't be able to explain himself to his superiors and subordinates. Even if he wanted to protect his own, he couldn't be too protective!
Thus, he sealed Guan Zhongkai's dantian on the spot, stripped him of all his rights in the World Commerce Association, and locked him up. As for the rights that originally belonged to Guan Zhongkai, they were handed over to his second disciple, Nie Sheng.
At this moment, Guan Zhongkai was locked up in the cold, pitch-black Black Prison of the World Commerce Association, sighing. He couldn't figure it out himself. He didn't know what kind of bad luck he'd run into recently. How could he be so unlucky!
In the Plum Garden of Ghost Manor, Yue Qianchou and two of his subordinates were looking through a large pile of jade archives on a table.
"Boss, other than the price quoted, there are also some touching words added," Qin Jiaxing said cheerfully.
Yue Qianchou snorted coldly, "A bunch of insensitive people, trying to stir up emotions. Only looking at the price … Damn it! They have the nerve to ask for a hundred million. "He casually tossed a jade archive in his hand onto the floor, shattering it into pieces with a 'crack'.
Qin Jiaxing chuckled and loosened his grip. Another crisp 'crack' rang out. On the other side, Fu Chun frowned as she held a jade archive in her hand, "Boss, there are some words added in here as well. However, they aren't touching words, but more like threats and intimidation."
"Crazy … Wait, don't smash it!" Yue Qianchou pointed at the jade archives in his hand, and said to the two of them, "Leave behind all of them that carry a threatening or intimidating tone. This is evidence of their crimes. When I have the chance, I'll settle the score with them. How dare they threaten and intimidate me! "
The three of them carefully selected for almost half a day before they finally picked out the ten jade archives that offered the highest price. Without exception, these ten jade archives were backed by one of the top nations in the cultivation world. The lowest price was also three hundred million high-grade spirit stones. The one who offered the highest price did not surprise Yue Qianchou. As expected, it was the wealthiest and most influential World Commerce Association in the world.
"Tsk tsk! Look at their imposing manner. This is what you call an exorbitant demand! Cut to the chase. A fixed price of one billion. How refreshing! Haha! "Yue Qianchou's eyes narrowed into slits as he laughed.
Qin Jiaxing exclaimed, "The World Commerce Association's wealth is indeed frightening. Compared to the second highest bidder who offered six hundred million, it's a whopping four hundred million."
Fu Chun shook her head and said, "They're determined to get it."
Yue Qianchou handed the jade archive to Fu Chun and said, "Go and announce the highest price that the World Commerce Association has offered, lest people say that I'm being unfair. Also, invite the people from the World Commerce Association in and we'll discuss when to pay. "
The group of people outside the door was already in a bad mood. Now that they had to wait for almost half a day, none of them had a pleasant expression on their faces. Most importantly, many of them did not hold out much hope for this segment of the bidding. If the price wasn't high, it would be a miracle if they relied on the emotional and intimidating words in the jade archives. The higher-ups had never seen Niu Youde in person, so they had no idea what kind of person he was!
The moment Fu Chun appeared at the main entrance, she attracted everyone's attention. He didn't beat around the bush and raised the jade archive, saying, "The highest bidder, the World Commerce Association, one billion high-grade spirit stones!"
"One billion?" There was an uproar outside. This price was indeed a little too high. Immediately, there was a flurry of discussion.
"I'm afraid that only the World Commerce Association would dare to offer such a price."
"The World Commerce Association is indeed the World Commerce Association. They're extraordinarily rich!"
The crowd's gazes landed on the silent Nie Sheng. The latter's face was taut, and there was no sign of joy or pride after winning the bidding.
Fu Chun ignored the crowd's discussion. She swept her gaze around and did not see Guan Zhongkai of the World Commerce Association. She then raised the jade archive in her hand and said in a loud voice, "Senior Niu wishes to invite an esteemed guest from the World Commerce Association into the Plum Gardens for a meeting. May I know who it is?"
"Me." Nie Sheng walked out. Fu Chun was slightly taken aback. She then raised her hand and said, "Please come in."
