First, he crippled Xiao Kelin and then killed Gŭng Nian. However, the mysterious person who had done the deed had yet to appear.
At that moment, the people from the Heaven Amplification Trading Company looked at the sand boat again. They felt that the curtain that was being blown by the wind was like the beckoning of Death.
At that moment, the curtain at the door was suddenly pulled open. It was as though the mysterious person was about to walk out.
Upon seeing this scene, Advisor Yang was scared out of his wits. He immediately rolled off his horse and nearly knelt to the ground. He hurriedly said, "Senior, spare me! Senior, spare me! I'm only here to pass on the message. I really didn't mean to harm Miss Shuiyan."
Advisor Yang was considered one of the top figures in the Heaven Amplification Trading Company. Although he did not have a high cultivation level, he was good at accounting for profits. He enjoyed a high status.
But now, he had pissed his pants just because someone had pulled open the curtain. This made people sigh. In front of absolute strength, status and wealth were just a joke.
Advisor Yang knelt on the ground for a long while, not daring to lift his head. He knew that the person would not even blink if he was killed. Compared to his life, what was dignity?
However, there was no movement after a while. He mustered the courage to lift his head and was instantly dumbfounded.
He saw a yellow-dressed maidservant who had pulled open the curtain at the entrance of the sand boat. She looked to be about sixteen or seventeen and her face still looked a little childish. She was looking at him in astonishment.
The maidservant had been inside the sand boat previously. All she knew was that there was chaos outside and that her mistress was in danger. The battle that followed happened in a split second. With her cultivation level, she would not have known what had happened if she did not look.
She never expected that the situation would change in such a way. She thought that Advisor Yang, who enjoyed an unreachable status and sat on the throne of the Heaven Amplification Trading Company's top manager, was bowing so respectfully to a maidservant who served him. Furthermore, the way he knelt down made him look like a pug. It left the maidservant completely dumbfounded.
When she looked at Advisor Yang again, his expression looked like he had swallowed a plate of feces. It was as ugly as it could be.
He even had thoughts of dying. If he pissed his pants in front of Yi Yun, it would be considered a loss of dignity, but it would still be acceptable.
But now, a yellow-haired girl was standing in front of him. Yet, he was prostrating on his knees. Wasn't this equivalent to shredding his dignity?
He had never been so humiliated in his life!
At this moment, Yi Yun had yet to appear. Advisor Yang did not have the guts to stand up, nor could he continue kneeling. He wished that he could turn into a pile of dog shit so that no one would pay attention to him.
"That … Mi … Miss, I … I'm here to pass on a message …"
The yellow-dressed maidservant blinked her eyes as she spoke with great difficulty. There were so many people looking at her and there was even a person who could stand alone in the Heaven Amplification Trading Company kneeling before her. The maidservant had never experienced such a situation before, so she immediately stuttered.
"Okay, He Er, go ahead."
Said Ji Shuiyan. At that moment, how could she remain calm? The Divine Secrets Trading Company was on the brink of destruction. The betrayal of Xiao Kelin and Gŭng Nian left Ji Shuiyan so infuriated that she nearly vomited blood. But in a blink of an eye, Yi Yun had used his absolute strength to cripple the two of them and turn the tide. The feeling of repaying a debt of gratitude and vengeance made her feel extremely good. After being repressed for so long, she could finally hold her head high! Even when her grandfather was alive, she had never experienced the feeling of being in control of an entire situation with absolute strength.
She was extremely grateful to Yi Yun, or rather, extremely envious of him. That was how a person should be. Although the wealth that came with doing business was a beautiful experience, it was like a dream that could be shattered at any time. How could it compare to using absolute strength to rule the world to one's heart's content?
"Young Master Yi said to leave the rest to you. Young Master's exact words were to act according to his heart and there was no need to show mercy."
Yi Yun had only killed the two strongest people. Although he appeared decisive in his actions, the people he killed were in fact from the Divine Secrets Trading Company.
The traitors of the Divine Secrets Trading Company were naturally dealt with by the Divine Secrets Trading Company. The Heaven Amplification Trading Company could not find fault with them.
However, Yi Yun did not touch the people from the Heaven Amplification Trading Company. It was not because he was afraid, but because he did not know Ji Shuiyan's thoughts. After all, the situation between the Divine Secrets Trading Company and the Heaven Amplification Trading Company was up to Ji Shuiyan. As an outsider, Yi Yun did not wish to interfere too much.
At the same time, Yi Yun wanted to judge Ji Shuiyan's capabilities and attitude through the way she handled the matter.
When Advisor Yang heard He'er's words, he was overjoyed. He knew that his life had been saved.
As long as he did not have anything to do with the god of death, everything was fine.
As for Ji Shuiyan, he was not afraid at all. How much tolerance could a lass like her have? The mysterious person was powerful and could act without fear. He could kill anyone he wanted.
But Ji Shuiyan still needed to stay in Jade Luster City. Everything about the Divine Secrets Trading Company was still being suppressed by the Heaven Amplification Trading Company. Even if she had the mysterious person backing her, allowing her to catch a breather, she still needed to consider all aspects, especially the Seven Star Auction Company that maintained order in Jade Luster City. Would she dare to lose all decorum?
If she were to act to her heart's content, wouldn't she be afraid that the Heaven Amplification Trading Company would seek revenge on her after the mysterious person left? Wouldn't she be devoured whole?
Upon coming to this realization, Advisor Yang got up from the ground. Now that Advisor Yang had the confidence to face Ji Shuiyan, why would he need to kneel?
He straightened his back and calmly tidied his clothes. He even flicked the dust off his robe and said with a beaming smile, "About that, Shuiyan … Uncle Yang was a little rash just now. Shuiyan, you are tired so it's only natural that you rest. Uncle Yang is being unreasonable by insisting that you visit the Heaven Amplification Trading Company as a guest. Uncle Yang will bid farewell. Shuiyan, calm down and have a good rest in the residence. I will explain to Young Master Yan. In the future, do well in the Divine Secrets Trading Company. As long as the Heaven Amplification Trading Company benefits, the Divine Secrets Trading Company will definitely benefit as well."
With a shake of his body, Advisor Yang seemed to become a completely different person. It was as though the wretched dog that had been scared shitless and acted like a clown was no longer him.
Ji Shuiyan remained silent as she quietly watched Advisor Yang's change in attitude. She felt even more wistful about the importance of strength. Only with strength could one truly be in control of everything. Everything else was just an illusion.
Even with Yi Yun's influence, Advisor Yang's treatment of her and Yi Yun's treatment of her were worlds apart. Advisor Yang looked down on her from the bottom of his heart. Even the words he had just said seemed to imply that the Heaven Amplification Trading Company was taking care of the Divine Secrets Trading Company.
Although she knew this, Ji Shuiyan could not kill Advisor Yang, at least not now. Once she lost all decorum with the Heaven Amplification Trading Company, a huge battle was inevitable.
Ignoring the fact that Ji Shuiyan did not know if Yi Yun was willing to be embroiled in the battle, the crux of the matter was that even if the battle was won, the Divine Secrets Trading Company would not receive much benefit.
When the sandpiper and clam clashed, the fisherman would reap the benefits. Without the Divine Secrets Trading Company setting up a good trap, the Heaven Amplification Trading Company's wealth, such as stores and commercial territory, would not be able to benefit much from it. Most of it would be taken by the Seven Star Auction Company. Was the Divine Secrets Trading Company going to compete with the Seven Star Auction Company after wiping out the Heaven Amplification Trading Company?
Advisor Yang naturally had the same thoughts as Ji Shuiyan. He was certain that nothing would happen to him. What sort of faction was the Seven Star Auction Company? It spanned across the seven cities of Sun Burial Sandsea. Even the mysterious person had to tuck his tail in front of such a behemoth. If not, it was not impossible for him to be destroyed.
"About that … Shuiyan, Uncle Yang shall not disturb your rest. I shall bid you farewell."
Just as Advisor Yang said that, Ji Shuiyan suddenly waved her hand!
"Shoo! Shoo!
Shoo! "A bright cold beam flashed as twelve pocket-sized flying swords shot out from Ji Shuiyan's sleeves!
Ji Shuiyan's cultivation level was only one full realm lower than Yi Yun's. Back when she cultivated, she was the best amongst the Divine Secrets Trading Company's juniors. As for Yang Yanguang, he was only an advisor. He did not have any talent in martial arts and his cultivation level had been forcefully raised to the Yuan Opening realm through various pills. His combat strength was extremely weak, so their strengths were incomparable.
"You …"
Yang Yanguang was alarmed. He never expected Ji Shuiyan to suddenly attack!
And at that moment, although there were other experts beside Yang Yanguang, making it easy for them to block Ji Shuiyan's swords, no one dared to move because Yi Yun was there!
The result was —
Puah Puah Puah!
The twelve pocket-sized swords pierced straight through Yang Yanguang's body. Four of the swords sliced off Yang Yanguang's limbs!
"Ah!"
Yang Yanguang let out a tragic cry as his body flew backward. The pain was so excruciating that he peed his pants. He looked at Ji Shuiyan in horror and disbelief as his body convulsed incessantly. Blood flowed to the ground.
"Woman with the surname Ji, are you mad!?"
Ji Shuiyan's expression was ice-cold as she took a step forward. Under her control, the twelve swords circled around Yang Yanguang. The tips of the swords were pointed at Advisor Yang's vital points. Ji Shuiyan said coldly, "I will not kill you but I will not let you off either. I'll first chop off your limbs as interest. Also!"
When Ji Shuiyan said that, she looked at everyone from the Heaven Amplification Trading Company. "Anyone who came to the Divine Secrets Trading Company today is to stay behind! Men, detain them all! "
