"Rising Sun Trading Company?" Teng Qingshan was slightly surprised.
He originally thought that it was the army of a great clan, but he didn't expect it to be the army of the Rising Sun Trading Company. Although Teng Qingshan hadn't been in Duanmu Continent for long, he still knew a lot about the famous Rising Sun Trading Company. For example, the Rising Sun Restaurant, which could be found throughout the thirty-six major cities, was one of its businesses.
As a great trading company, restaurants were only one of its businesses.
The Rising Sun Trading Company would definitely intervene in the extremely profitable slave trade. Moreover, it was one of the overlords in the slave trade. At least twenty to thirty percent of the slave trade in the world was controlled by the Rising Sun Trading Company. Twenty to thirty percent didn't sound like much. But after all … … many clans contending for hegemony in the world were also involved in the slave trade.
The Rising Sun Trading Company was able to compete with the great clans and obtain twenty to thirty percent of the slave trade.
Although the Rising Sun Trading Company didn't conquer the world, it was one of the few superpowers in Duanmu Continent.
"Manager Mu!" Teng Qingshan said with a faint smile, "I still have matters to attend to!"
Mu Wan's face darkened. The surrounding soldiers all stared at Teng Qingshan. Mu Wan said coldly, "What? The men of the Rising Sun Trading Company died in vain?"
Teng Qingshan was indeed in the wrong in this matter.
In Duanmu Continent, slaves were goods! Even if the trading company killed the slaves while transporting goods, it had nothing to do with Teng Qingshan. The trading company didn't provoke Teng Qingshan, but … … Xiong Shou killed three of the men of the Rising Sun Trading Company and injured several others.
He was completely in the wrong!
"Manager Mu, tell me a solution." Teng Qingshan smiled indifferently.
"Hmph … …" Mu Wan just opened his mouth.
Suddenly —
The entire ground suddenly shook. The surrounding slaves and soldiers all lost their balance and fell. "Crack ~ ~" The ground cracked, forming deep trenches.
"Earthquake!"
"It's an earthquake!"
The surrounding soldiers cried out in alarm. The Nine Prefectures were the center of the world, and disasters in the Nine Prefectures were rare. However, there were many natural disasters in Duanmu Continent, such as volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, devastating cold currents, and so on. "Protect Lord Steward!" Quite a few people shouted. Even Mu Wan was a little panicked.
"Eh, that's strange. Why didn't the other places shake?" Teng Qingshan said in surprise.
The earth stopped shaking.
"That's right. The surrounding area is shaking and the ground is cracking."
"Strange."
Many of the soldiers were also puzzled. They realized that the soldiers in other places were not in a mess at all, but here, their tents had collapsed, torches had fallen, and it was very messy.
"Steward Mu, why don't you name a number?" Teng Qingshan smiled at Mu Wan.
Mu Wan looked at Teng Qingshan. The look in Teng Qingshan's eyes and his previous performance made Mu Wan instantly understand the cause of the fake earthquake. He couldn't help but feel shocked, "It must have been him just now. This Teng Qingshan actually made the earth tremble without making a sound! He's definitely an Inborn Expert, a Martial Saint! "
"Good skills!" Beside Mu Wan, a strong man carrying a huge machete on his back stared at Teng Qingshan and said.
Being stared at by this strong man was like being stared at by an enormous ancient beast.
"You're not bad yourself." Teng Qingshan smiled and glanced at the strong man carrying the machete. He then looked at Mu Wan and asked, "Steward Mu?"
Mu Wan glanced at the strong man beside him and said with a faint smile, "It seems that Mister Teng and Mister Fu are friends. Since that's the case, then let's do it this way … … For the three dead soldiers, you'll pay three thousand taels of silver. In addition to the many injured soldiers, you'll pay a total of five thousand taels of silver. "
Five thousand taels of silver seemed a lot, but … …
Actually, the death of three ordinary soldiers was a small matter. The Rising Sun Trading Company's reputation was a big deal! Five thousand taels of silver could solve the problem. Mu Wan guessed that Teng Qingshan was a Martial Saint Expert. He then lowered his head.
"Fine." Teng Qingshan turned to look at the official and said loudly, "Old Wang, bring me forty taels of gold."
"Yes."
The coachman, Old Wang, responded loudly. Li Jun, who had been looking out of the carriage window, immediately took out forty taels of gold from her bundle and gave it to Old Wang. In the era of the Thunder Blade Deity, Duanmu Yu, one tael of gold was worth one hundred taels of silver.
However, the people of Duanmu Continent loved gold very much. Normally, large clans would store gold as their family assets.
This caused the amount of gold in the world to decrease.
Nowadays, it was publicly acknowledged that one tael of gold could be exchanged for one hundred and twenty-six taels of silver. In some places, one tael of gold could even be exchanged for one hundred and thirty taels of silver!
"Boss, forty taels of gold." Old Wang held two large gold bars in his hands. Each of these gold bars weighed one Jin.
"Steward Mu." Teng Qingshan handed over the two gold bars.
"Good. This matter is settled." Mu Wan said as he received the two gold bars. However, a thought flashed through his mind as he thought, "One Jin gold bar. Such a large gold bar. It should have been smelted by some large clans and hidden in their homes. What is the background of this Teng Qingshan? "
Not to mention the one Jin gold bar, Teng Qingshan's chest of gold also contained large gold bricks!
They were even heavier! These were the gold that the Liu Clan of the Dark Iron River was preparing to make a comeback.
"Since this matter is settled, I won't disturb you any further." Teng Qingshan finished speaking with a smile. He then dragged the teenager, Xiong Shou, and walked out.
The teenager, Xiong Shou, could not resist Teng Qingshan at all. However, he still turned his head and stared at Steward Mu Wan. Although the teenager, Xiong Shou, had low intelligence, the rules of wild beasts made him very clear … … that the old man in the army escorting the slaves before him was an important figure.
"Teng Qingshan, wait a moment." A rough voice sounded. It was the brawny man carrying a giant machete on his back. His eyes were blazing.
"Mister Fu." Mu Wan hastily said, "We haven't finished our discussion!"
He was very clear about the temperament of this Martial Saint, Mister Fu. If he encountered a powerful expert, he would definitely challenge him!
Mister Fu hesitated for a moment. He watched as Teng Qingshan boarded the carriage and said, "He is hurrying towards Nanshan City. The carriage isn't fast. I will be able to catch up with him in a while."
"Steward Mu, let's continue our discussion inside the tent."
… …
The sky was completely dark. Twenty Li away from where the Rising Sun Trading Company's army was stationed, Teng Qingshan and the others stopped to rest.
"Ah Shou, don't act recklessly in the future." Little Ping handed a roasted leg of lamb to the teenager, Xiong Shou.
"Fortunately, the Rising Sun Trading Company's steward took the strength of the Boss into consideration. Otherwise, the Rising Sun Trading Company wouldn't have let them off so easily. "Old Wang chuckled. Although he only had one eye, he still appeared quite amiable when he smiled.
Teng Qingshan frowned and looked at the road from afar. "Someone is coming!"
Li Jun and the others all turned their heads to look.
The Whole Gale Eagle, who was on the roof of the carriage, also looked towards the south.
"Clop! Clop! Clop! "
The sound of hurried hooves rang, and a figure riding a One-Horned War Hou rushed over at an extremely fast speed.
"Brother Teng!" The figure leaped down from the War Hou.
"It's you?" Teng Qingshan stared at the person before him.
"Hehe ~ ~" The teenager, Xiong Shou, stared at the approaching person, his eyes flashing with an ominous glint. The teenager, Xiong Shou, remembered clearly … that the influential old man in the army had been extremely respectful towards this brawny man who carried a huge machete on his back. In the eyes of the teenager, Xiong Shou —
This brawny man should be someone with a higher status than the old man in the army!
"Mister Fu?" Teng Qingshan smiled and said, "Mister Fu, may I know why you have come to my place?"
"Brother Teng, I am Fu Dao!" The brawny man with disheveled hair and eyes like lightning said loudly, "Just now, Brother Teng calmly caused the ground to tremble and crack. If my guess is correct … Brother Teng is at least a True Dan Innate Expert. Or even a Golden Dan Innate Expert! I, Fu Dao, travel the world and love to spar with experts. I wonder if Brother Teng is willing to spar with me? "
Teng Qingshan cast a glance at Li Jun, who was beside him.
The current Teng Qingshan really didn't care about innate experts. He was currently cultivating diligently in order to step into the Emptiness Realm!
"Fu Dao!" Old Wang, who was at the side, cried out in surprise, "You are the Thunder Blade Martial Saint, Fu Dao?"
"The Thunder Blade Martial Saint?" Teng Qingshan looked at Old Wang, and Old Wang immediately explained, "Boss, there are a few Martial Saint Experts in this world, but some are famous, while some are not. Mister Fu, Fu Dao, cultivates the lineage of the Thunder Blade Deity and is respectfully called the Thunder Blade Martial Saint. He is definitely a Golden Dan Innate Expert, and all the forces in this world hold Mister Fu in high esteem. "
Teng Qingshan smiled.
Golden Dan Innate Expert?
That's right. The entire Duanmu Continent only has a population of two to three hundred million, which is equivalent to one prefecture in the nine prefectures. There were probably no more than ten Golden Dan Innate Experts, and any Golden Dan Innate Expert was a great figure that could make the Duanmu Continent tremble. However, Teng Qingshan didn't know that … … the Heavens were fair. The Duanmu Continent, which had many natural disasters, would also be blessed by the Heavens.
Being able to have two Omnipotent Experts, Yu the Great and Duanmu Yu, meant that the Duanmu Continent wasn't as simple as he thought.
"You want to spar with me?" Teng Qingshan looked at Fu Dao.
"Yes." Fu Dao stared at Teng Qingshan.
"Come on, hurry up," Teng Qingshan picked up the Reincarnation Spear at his side and walked to the empty space on the left as he said calmly. Teng Qingshan didn't feel excited at all about fighting with a Golden Dan Innate Expert.
Fu Dao frowned slightly.
He felt that the person before him was too arrogant.
"Be careful," Fu Dao shouted in a low voice.
"Clang!"
In the eyes of Lao Wang and Li Jun, who were watching from the side, a streak of azure lightning shot up into the sky from the scabbard on Fu Dao's back. Immediately, Fu Dao's entire figure became blurry as the streak of azure lightning rushed towards Teng Qingshan. Everywhere it passed, the ground was incinerated into nothingness.
The sound of thunder could be faintly heard.
"Good saber art!" A loud and clear voice sounded.
"Clang!"
A crisp sound rang out.
Fu Dao retreated more than ten steps. His face was flushed, and there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. He looked at Teng Qingshan in shock. Looking down at himself, the skin on his right palm had been completely cracked by the impact.
"How is this possible? One move, just one move?" Fu Dao recalled the scene just now and couldn't believe it. However, a moment later, Fu Dao's eyes lit up and his face revealed a hint of ecstasy. "So that's how it is, so that's how it is!"
Immediately after, Fu Dao bowed as if a disciple was saluting his master, "Thank you for your guidance, Mister!"
"You comprehended it on your own. There's no need to thank me." Teng Qingshan waved his hand indifferently and walked towards Li Jun and Lao Wang. Suddenly, Teng Qingshan looked at Xiong Shou in surprise.
