The few of them looked over and saw a person carrying a pile of items on the bluestone road outside. Behind him was a large group of people, aggressively pressing over. No matter how they looked at it, it seemed like they were here to cause trouble.
Damn it! Did this person come to the World Commerce Association to find trouble?
Below, Sikong Jue, whose hair was slightly white, stood in the hall with his hands behind his back. The four disciples, Hu Tianbao, Zhang Zunsheng, Yang Rong, and Weng Luhui, were lying on their chairs with pale faces as they recounted the ambush on Niu Youde. Especially when they talked about the scene where Niu Youde showed his might, the four of them couldn't help but shiver.
Under the continuous eaves of the World Commerce Association's Gold-Casting City branch was a row of shops. They were all World Commerce's shops, there was definitely no other shop here. Even so, there was a wide variety of goods in the different categories of shops.
That person couldn't see through his cultivation, plus Yue Qianchou called him a junior and knew Nie Sheng. Not daring to pursue the matter further, he immediately soared into the sky and went to report in advance.
"I'm worried that Niu Youde has already seen through it. Then your second senior brother and the rest have probably already met with …" Sikong Jue shook his head slightly and didn't say the word "met with misfortune".
A few cultivators were chatting in the spacious area when one of them unintentionally glanced outside and said blankly: "What are those people doing?"
Yue Qianchou raised the heads in his hand and said: "Before coming, Nie Sheng told me that he could exchange these nine heads for a hundred million high grade spirit stones from Sikong Jue. I don't know if it's true or not. That's right, Nie Sheng is from your World Commerce Association right? "
A quick-witted person pulled the others and said in a low voice: "Let's get out of the way. Don't block the way, it's none of our business." The few of them looked at Sikong Jue and then at the approaching people and immediately came to a realization.
"You don't need to feel uneasy." Sikong Jue sighed and said: "From what you've said, that Niu Youde's cultivation isn't just a level higher than mine. Aura is the remnant power of cultivation. To be able to emit such a terrifying aura, I'm afraid that his cultivation isn't any weaker than your grandmaster's. Looks like your eldest senior brother's words that day weren't made up to absolve himself from responsibility. I can only blame my poor judgment for harming Eighth and Ninth Brother. I'm worried … "
The ten disciples he had painstakingly trained had always been his right-hand men in handling the affairs of the World Chamber of Commerce. In order to complete the task assigned to him by his Master Yin Baikang, and in addition to the importance of the Limit Breaking Pill, he had brought all ten of his strongest disciples with him. He did not expect that two of them would be gone in the blink of an eye. How could he not be heartbroken? There was one more that worried him.
The four of them looked at each other. Hu Tianbao asked, "Master, what are you worried about?"
"That's right!" That person was also sizing up Yue Qianchou. When he realized that he couldn't see through his cultivation, his tone became slightly more polite.
"I'm not sure either. In short, it's a bunch of bastards." Yue Qianchou looked at the things in his hands and said indifferently, "These guys ambushed Niu Youde and Nie Sheng outside the Ghost Manor. Don't you think they deserve to die?"
Whispers rang out in the valley. Someone actually brought nine heads here. It seemed like he was trying to ruin the World Chamber of Commerce's business!
What surprised everyone even more was that the scene in front of them showed that … the dignified Soul Formation expert, the number two person of the World Chamber of Commerce, Sikong Jue, had come to meet this person.
The group of people in the valley followed behind Yue Qianchou. Even those who were about to leave after finishing their business also returned to follow, wanting to see what would happen next.
The group of people in the valley was in an uproar. The uproar was because they felt that this person was extremely arrogant. Who was Sikong Jue? He was the head disciple of the late Soul Formation expert Yin Baikang. He himself was also an early Soul Formation expert and was the number two person of the World Chamber of Commerce. It was difficult for normal cultivators to meet such a person in the cultivation world. To let Sikong Jue know who he was without announcing his name, his background was probably not simple.
This person was Sikong Jue's third disciple, Mu Lianqiu. He gestured to his four junior brothers, indicating that there was no need to be overly courteous. He then walked to his master with a frown and cupped his hands, saying, "Master, I received a report from a disciple in the valley. Someone brought nine heads to find you. He said that Senior Brother Nie asked him to bring them to you to exchange for a reward. He also said that you would know who he was after talking to him."
Sikong Jue waved his hand and released a gentle force that pressed him back to his original position. He said, "Your body hasn't recovered yet. Sit and talk!"
That person's expression turned solemn. He had seen Nie Sheng bring a group of people to the Ghost Manor early in the morning. He didn't expect that they would be ambushed. He immediately cupped his hands and said, "I wonder if you can tell me your name so that I can report it." The person who came was actually familiar with Second Martial Uncle, so he naturally had to treat him seriously.
"It should be Niu Youde." Sikong Jue turned to look at Mu Lianqiu with a sinister expression. "Where is he?"
Even if they didn't know this person, they could guess who he was from how everyone addressed him. He was the famous Soul Formation expert of the World Commerce Association, Sikong Jue. What made them nervous was why was he staring at them?
"I hope so!" Just as Sikong Jue let out a long sigh, they heard hurried footsteps coming from outside. When a middle-aged man came in, Hu Tianbao and the other three shouted, "Third Martial Brother!"
"He's reported to be walking over from the valley," Mu Lianqiu replied.
As he spoke, he kept sizing up the nine heads in the man's hand. Unfortunately, their faces were covered by messy hair. Two of their faces were even covered by black cloth, so they couldn't see their faces clearly. He couldn't help but ask, "Whose heads are these nine heads?"
Sikong Jue could easily see the deep fear in his disciples' eyes. He pondered and said, "So that means that Niu Youde's cultivation has indeed reached the Soul Formation stage?"
That's right! With our strength, it's not worth the Soul Formation expert to look at us for so long! The few of them hurriedly moved to the sides.
As long as you could afford it, you could buy almost anything here other than rare items that were hard to find in the world. Even if you didn't have something for the time being, as long as you paid a deposit, the goods could be transferred very quickly.
There weren't many people here, but there were at least a hundred cultivators wandering around. There were customers in front of the row of shops. In the middle of the shop was a large open door. There were people guarding it, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.
"Master, forgive disciple for speaking bluntly …" Hu Tianbao, who was sitting at the head of the table, struggled to stand up and speak.
This was all thanks to the powerful trading network that the World Commerce Association had set up in the cultivation world. It lived up to its reputation. At the same time, there were shops that specialized in buying things. As long as it was something worth buying or selling, it would all be bought. The World Chamber of Commerce still had many branches like this throughout the cultivation world.
"Master, it shouldn't be as bad as you think." Hu Tianbao analyzed. "With that Niu Youde's cultivation, he could have taken our lives effortlessly, but he didn't do so. Since he could even let us go, even if he saw some clues, he probably wouldn't make things difficult for second senior brother. "
"Second martial uncle?" That person's face was filled with respect, but when he heard this guy directly call his martial ancestor Sikong Jue's name, his face changed and his tone became a little stiff. "That's right, second martial uncle is the manager of this branch."
Yue Qianchou looked around and his gaze fell on Sikong Jue. He snorted. "I don't see any other Soul Formation cultivators here. You're the only one who barely makes it. Needless to say, you're Yin Baikang's eldest disciple, what's your name again?" Actually, it would be strange if he could see through Sikong Jue's cultivation. But he could guess it even if he used his butt. Not to mention, he had heard someone call Sikong Jue senior earlier …
Sikong Jue's heart thumped. Indeed, what he feared had come true. Hu Tianbao and the others looked at each other with pale faces.
"It's fine if I don't say my name. It's not something a junior like you has the right to ask." Yue Qianchou's words were filled with arrogance. He glanced at him expressionlessly and said, "Go tell Sikong Jue that I brought a few heads to claim my reward. He will naturally know who I am." Finishing, he carried the nine heads and walked out of the canyon.
When the spectators saw Yue Qianchou, they were instantly dumbfounded. Speaking of killing people, who hadn't done it before? But running around with heads in their hands, they really hadn't done it before. Not to mention running to the World Commerce Association with a bunch of heads.
Many people looked at the dozen or so guards around the canyon. A person flashed down from the top of the canyon and landed in front of Yue Qianchou. He said in a deep voice, "The World Commerce Association welcomes friends from all over the world to do business. I wonder what does friend mean by bringing a few heads here?"
"Thank you master." Hu Tianbao cupped his hands gratefully and said uneasily, "Master, forgive disciple for speaking bluntly. I'm afraid Niu Youde's cultivation is even higher than master's."
In the inner hall of the Gold Casting City branch, Yin Baikang's portrait hung on the wall in the middle of the hall. From this portrait, he looked much more elegant than Yin Baikang himself. He had the air of an immortal.
"You're from the World Commerce Association?" Yue Qianchou glanced at him and found that he was the same as him. He was also in the early stage of Tribulation Passing.
The two of them walked to the center of the hall. When they were a few meters apart, they stopped and sized each other up.
"Yes!" Hu Tianbao and the others accepted the order and stood up to walk towards the back of the hall.
"Let's go and take a look first." Just as the master and disciple walked to the door, Sikong Jue suddenly stopped and turned his head, saying, "You four, go hide in the secret room for now." Finishing, he quickly walked away.
How could a person worthy of Sikong Jue's personal appearance be an ordinary person? Everyone immediately whispered to each other, trying to guess this person's background.
Everyone also looked at Yue Qianchou and found that he was indeed very unfamiliar.
At this moment, they heard a wave of flattery coming from behind them. "Senior Sikong" was being called out non-stop. Looking back, they saw two people standing outside the large open door in the middle of the shop. The person standing at the front had white hair and a sinister expression as he looked over. People continuously went over to pay their respects, but this person remained indifferent and didn't move at all. He just stared straight at them.
On the bluestone path between the canyon and the Gold Casting City branch, Yue Qianchou expressionlessly walked in front with nine heads in his hands. A group of people followed a few meters behind him. No matter how one looked at it, it was a little strange.
The moment Yue Qianchou stepped through the gate, Sikong Jue walked over. He didn't dare to be careless when facing such an expert. His gaze swept across the pile of heads in Sikong Jue's hands and he immediately felt his chest tighten.
