The wind will blow.
Outside the Spirit Weapon Pavilion, countless people had already gathered, forming a dark mass.
When they saw Chu Xingyun and Xue Dangkong walk out, they were all stunned, their eyes filled with doubt.
"Why would Chu Xingyun come out with Elder Snow when he forged a weapon? Could it be that Elder Snow forging a king weapon has something to do with Chu Xingyun?"
"Look, Grandmaster Zhou, Grandmaster Zhang, and Grandmaster Yang, the three Alchemy Grandmasters are all here. It's strange. Why are they following behind Chu Xingyun? They don't have their usual arrogance. Instead, they seem very low-key."
"Xue Qingwu is there too. Why are they travelling together? They seem to be heading towards the main building of the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce."
When the crowd saw this scene, they became even more confused and burst into discussions.
Among the crowd, there was no lack of people from the major families. When they saw this scene, they immediately rushed back to their families and gathered the upper echelons of their families.
Inside Qin Manor.
Ever since the rise of the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce, the Qin Clan's days had not been easy. The profits of the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce had been constantly declining. It was as if there was an invisible haze hanging over everyone's head.
"When Xue Dangkong forged the King Weapon, Chu Xingyun just happened to be in the Spiritual Weapon Pavilion. There were also three alchemy masters with him. This matter is definitely not simple. It is very possible that the three parties have already formed an alliance."
The person who spoke was Qin Tianfeng.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Qin Clan's elders were so shocked that their knees went soft and they almost fell to the ground. Their eyes were wide open as if they had lost their souls. There was not the slightest bit of vitality left in them.
If the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce was already so difficult to deal with, wouldn't it be even more powerful with the help of the Spirit Weapon Pavilion and the three Alchemy Grandmasters?
Qin Tianfeng also thought of this. He placed his hands behind his back and paced back and forth.
In the end, he suddenly stopped and said, "Pass down my orders. Temporarily close the merchant group, and don't enter into conflict with Soaring Cloud Merchant Group. At the same time, ask Luo Chuanfeng, Su Kong, and the others to come to the Qin Clan. Tell them that they're here to discuss something important."
"Yes!" An elder of the Qin Clan replied. He didn't summon any servants, but went to deliver the message personally.
Not only Qin Tianfeng, but almost everyone had a gloomy expression as they watched the departing figure of the Qin clan elder. They did not say a word, or rather, they did not know what to say.
The Dreamy Cloud Martial House was just as worried as the Qin Clan.
In an exquisite pavilion, Yin Tiancheng sat at the head of the table. Below him were the elders of the Dreamy Cloud Martial House. There were more than twenty of them, including Gu Qingsong.
"You're all trash. You can't even keep an eye on a brat who's still wet behind the ears and allowed him to develop right under your noses. I've raised you for so many years, but you're no different from rice buckets!" Yin Tiancheng let out a furious roar, causing the twenty over elders to kneel on the ground. They didn't even dare to look at Yin Tiancheng.
"Father, what happened today may seem like a crisis, but in reality, it doesn't have much of an impact on the Yunmeng Martial House." Yin Ruochen stood out and spoke without a trace of fear.
"Why do you say that?" Yin Tiancheng asked.
"Chu Xingyun came to the Imperial City to investigate what happened sixteen years ago. That's right. From this incident, we can see that Chu Xingyun has a deep grudge against the Dreamy Cloud Martial House. The reason why he developed the Chamber of Commerce and recruited experts is most likely to be for revenge."
Yin Ruochen squinted his eyes like a cunning wolf and said coldly, "However, the Dreamy Cloud Martial House wasn't the only one who took action that year. The Su Clan, the Li Clan, the Luo Clan, and the other Imperial Clans all participated. Just like the Dreamy Cloud Martial House, they all belong to the Radical Faction. As the saying goes, pull one hair and the whole body will be affected. How could Chu Xingyun shake the entire Radical Faction?"
"What you said makes sense." Yin Tiancheng gradually let out a sigh of relief. He was a little anxious just now and panicked.
"We, the Radical Faction, have gradually taken control of the Liuyun Dynasty. With our strength, we don't need to fear Chu Xingyun. More importantly, even if the sky falls, Jing Tianhou will hold it up. With his strength, destroying the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce is as easy as snapping his fingers!"
At this point, the group of Dreamy Cloud Martial House elders, who were originally panicking and listless, let out a long sigh of relief. They felt that there was a stabilizing force in their hearts, and they no longer trembled in fear.
"I have been brooding over what happened last time, so much so that I panicked. Chen-er, you are right. With Jing Tianhou, nothing will be a problem. On the contrary, the more powerful the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce is, the more benefits we will obtain when we eliminate them in the future. We can even drag the Lingxiao Martial House and the Spiritual Weapon Pavilion down with us and annex them in one fell swoop!"
Yin Tiancheng had completely calmed down. As he spoke, his cunning eyes seemed to have already seen the scene of the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce being trampled under his feet. He let out an incomparably cold laugh.
Other than the Qin Clan and the Dreamy Cloud Martial House, the other clans and forces in the Imperial City were also urgently discussing. The tense atmosphere slowly enveloped the entire Imperial City. On the surface, it was quiet, but in reality, there was an undercurrent surging.
In the Imperial Palace at night, there was a vast and majestic hall in the belly of a mountain.
In the hall, Tang Zheng raised his head and stared at the pitch-black night sky. He was motionless like a statue.
Tap tap!
The sound of footsteps suddenly rang out in the silent hall. Then, a figure suddenly appeared beside Tang Zheng. He was dressed in black, and under the illumination of the bright moonlight, his face was full of wrinkles.
If Chu Xingyun was present, he would definitely be able to recognize this face at a glance.
This person was the old man who gave him the Flowing Cloud Iron Token!
"Have you investigated everything that happened today?" Tang Zheng's body twitched as he spat out these words. There was a hint of nervousness on his face, as if he was very concerned.
The old man replied, "After my investigation, I can preliminarily conclude that Zhou Qingning and Zhang Fangui have already pledged their allegiance to Chu Xingyun and joined the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce. As for the Spiritual Weapon Pavilion, it seems that they also intend to form an alliance with the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce. The person who made this decision is Xue Dangkong."
"What about the King Weapon?" Tang Zheng asked again.
"According to what I know, the King Weapon is a golden longsword. The appearance of this sword is very similar to Chu Xingyun's Sky Slashing Sword. If you link this to Chu Xingyun's previous actions, it is not difficult to determine that this golden longsword is the Sky Slashing Sword. As for why Xue Dangkong was able to forge a King Weapon, I do not know." The old man revealed everything he knew.
After hearing this, Tang Zheng resentfully nodded. His gaze returned to the pitch-black night sky, and he did not speak for a long time.
Seeing this, the old man lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty, from Chu Xingyun's actions today, it is likely that he already knows about what happened back then. Furthermore, he has no intention of venting his anger on us. The stronger Chu Xingyun is now, the better it will be for him to restrain the Radical Faction. For us, this is a good thing."
"What happened back then took countless lives and plunged the dynasty into chaos. As a citizen of the Liuyun Dynasty, not only did Chu Xingyun lose his parents, but he also suffered greatly. This makes me feel a trace of guilt towards him. Furthermore, he also saved Yue 'er."
Tang Zheng's words made the old man sigh. Suddenly, he had an idea and said, "Since Your Majesty feels guilty towards him, why don't you summon Chu Xingyun into the palace? Both sides can form a partnership. Firstly, it will help the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce. Secondly, it will also restore the prestige of the Imperial Family."
After the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce received the help of the Spiritual Weapon Pavilion, it would definitely develop rapidly.
If the Liuyun Dynasty and the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce formed a partnership, both sides would benefit greatly. As for the Radical Faction, they would not dare to do anything. They would even be able to suppress and stabilize the dynasty.
"If both sides cooperate, it will indeed be a win-win situation. However, compared to this, there is something more urgent that needs to be carefully considered." Tang Zheng directly shook his head.
"What is it?" The old man's expression turned serious. He could feel the seriousness in Tang Zheng's voice.
