It was the Cloud Dream Martial House again.
Seeing Luo Lan in such a state, Chu Xingyun's eyes narrowed and he hurriedly walked forward.
"Luo Lan, what happened to your injuries?" Chu Xingyun's face instantly turned cold. He was surprised to find that other than the injuries on her feet, her arms, abdomen, and even her meridians were full of injuries.
Although these injuries were not fatal, there were many wounds. She would need to rest for a long time before she could fully recover.
"Big Brother Chu, you're finally back." Luo Lan threw herself into Chu Xingyun's arms. Her tears were like rain, constantly falling down. It was as if she had finally found someone to rely on after enduring for a long time.
"Luo Lan, don't cry. Everything is fine now," Chu Xingyun patted Luo Lan's shoulder and looked at Lin Tianchong with some doubt.
However, Lin Tianchong's face was also full of doubt and he shook his head.
After Chu Xingyun entered the High Heaven Pavilion, Lin Tianchong returned to the courtyard first, preparing to have a good rest.
Who would have thought that when he stepped into the courtyard, he would find that there was only Luo Lan in the large space. Moreover, Luo Lan was quietly recuperating from her injuries. Her entire small face was pale and filled with pain.
After Lin Tianchong woke Luo Lan up, before he could ask anything, Luo Lan anxiously went to find Chu Xingyun. Helpless, Lin Tianchong could only bring Luo Lan over. He also knew nothing about it.
Chu Xingyun stretched out his hand and gently wiped away the tears on Luo Lan's cheeks. He asked again, "Tell me, what happened? Who injured you?"
Luo Lan was still choking with sobs. She paused for a moment and said, "This matter started after Big Brother Chu left. Half a month ago, you left the Imperial City. We followed your instructions and operated the Chamber of Commerce as usual. For the first three days, everything was fine. However, on the fourth night, our Chamber of Commerce was suddenly attacked."
Attack?
Chu Xingyun's heart skipped a beat, and a chill ran down his spine. The Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce was the number one chamber of commerce in the Liuyun Dynasty, and it had the support of many families. Who would be so bold as to attack it?
"Is it someone from the Qin Clan?" Chu Xingyun's eyes darkened. His first thought was Qin Tianfeng.
However, Luo Lan shook her head and replied, "They are not from the Qin Clan. There are not many people in their group, only a dozen or so. However, they are all experts at the 5th Sky of the Earth Spirit Stage and above. The person leading them is called Liu Mieyun. His strength is so strong that he has already reached the 9th Sky of the Earth Spirit Stage. He has even comprehended a trace of Yang Energy."
"They took advantage of the night to attack the Chamber of Commerce. Their methods were extremely ruthless. Not only did they destroy the cauldrons and steal the pills, they even started a massacre. Not a single one of the twenty-eight Chamber of Commerce guards survived. All of them were killed on the spot. As for the others, although their lives were not in danger, they were still seriously injured."
Luo Lan seemed to have recalled the tragic scene that night. When she spoke, her voice was trembling. Her face was pale, and her breathing became intermittent. It was obvious that she was frightened.
"Liu Mieyun, Mieyun, it seems like this group of people came specifically for me!" Chu Xingyun clenched his fists. It was fine if this sneak attack only destroyed the cauldrons and stole the pills. However, they actually killed twenty-eight innocent lives. It was simply inhumane.
Lin Tianchong narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Although the other party is strong, there are not many of them. Logically speaking, the Chamber of Commerce should have the ability to resist them. How could we have suffered such heavy losses?"
In the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce, Yang Yan's strength was the strongest as he had reached the 9th Sky of the Earth Spirit Stage.
Apart from him, Xue Dangkong, Zhou Qingning, and Zhang Fangui were not weak either. If the alchemists and blacksmiths were included, the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce should not have suffered such heavy losses.
"The two masters, Zhou Qingning and Zhang Fangui, left the imperial city the day before the incident. They went to various cities to prepare for the establishment of branches. As for Master Qin and Master Yang, they went out to gather spiritual materials. There are not many experts in the Chamber of Commerce."
Luo Lan's voice was filled with deep helplessness.
The other party's actions were clearly planned. They had perfectly grasped the gap in the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce. Liu Mieyun, in particular, controlled a trace of Yang Gang Qi and was already considered a super expert half a step into the Heavenly Spirit Realm.
"After that sneak attack, Liu Mieyun did not stop. Every few days, he would launch a sneak attack. In this half a month, the entire Chamber of Commerce has been in a state of panic. Not only that, the nine great Chambers of Commerce controlled by Qin Tianfeng have also interfered many times. These two parties have even joined forces to force our Chamber of Commerce to hand over the pill recipes. Otherwise, the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce will never have a day of peace." Luo Lan's words made Chu Xingyun's aura grow colder and colder.
"The impact of this matter is huge. Did Yang Yan and the rest not return to the imperial city immediately?" Lin Tianchong's tone was a little angry. This matter had already endangered the entire Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce. Everyone should have returned to the imperial city to discuss countermeasures together.
However, judging from Luo Lan's expression, this matter had not been completely dealt with. In fact, it had become more and more intense, with even more casualties!
"Not long after this matter, Master Yang Yan and the rest returned to the imperial city. They had also taken action many times to suppress the other party's arrogance. However, the nine great Chambers of Commerce had directly given up on operating the Chamber of Commerce and sent people to cause trouble every day. As for Liu Mieyun, he was the same. After he attacked, he would immediately leave.
We can't do anything about him. "Luo Lan sighed and said in a low voice," Because of this, Martial House Lord Hua secretly sent experts to guard the Chamber of Commerce. However, the situation was still the same. Although the other party's number is small, they are extremely familiar with the Soaring Cloud Martial House and our Chamber of Commerce. They will immediately know if there is any trouble. "
There was an unwritten rule in the five great Martial Houses. The Martial Houses and the Martial Houses were not allowed to have a close relationship. They were also not allowed to help each other in order to avoid disrupting the power structure of the Imperial City and causing a huge dispute.
Hua Yunhe had secretly sent experts to protect the Soaring Cloud Martial House. This was already considered extremely loyal. However, the other party's information network was obviously not weak. They had already infiltrated the Soaring Cloud Martial House.
After pondering for a moment, Chu Xingyun said to Lin Tianchong, "Senior Lin, what do you think of this matter?"
Lin Tianchong laughed coldly and said, "In the Liuyun Dynasty, there are very few people in the Sky Spirit Realm. There are also very few people who are half a step into the Sky Spirit Realm. Since they are targeting you and have such a meticulous information network, there is no doubt that they are from the Dreamy Cloud Martial House."
"I think so too."
Chu Xingyun nodded and added, "On the third day after I left, I killed Mo Zuo, Yin Ruochen, and the others. On the fourth day, the other party made a move. Moreover, it was a sneak attack in the middle of the night. In my opinion, Yin Tiancheng must have lost his patience and attacked the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce to vent the anger in his heart.
"As for Qin Tianfeng's group, it's even easier to explain. They probably already know that the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce and the Soaring Cloud Martial House have nothing to do with each other. In addition, they have the backing of the Dreamy Cloud Martial House. Therefore, they will definitely suppress the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce. However, I didn't think that they would be so crazy as to not even operate the chamber of commerce. Instead, they mobilized everyone to disrupt the operations of the chamber of commerce day and night."
The nine chambers of commerce, including the Qin Clan's chamber of commerce, were all radical factions. They had existed in the Imperial City for nearly a hundred years and were deeply rooted in the city. Therefore, it was indeed difficult to deal with them working together to suppress the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce.
"We also suspected the Dreamy Cloud Martial House. However, Liu Mieyun's group looked unfamiliar and the way they attacked was completely different from the Dreamy Cloud Martial House." Luo Lan suddenly said.
"What one sees may not be the truth. One's appearance can be changed, and so can one's method of attacking. Other than the Yunmeng Martial House, I truly cannot think of anyone else in the Imperial City who would target me like this." Chu Xingyun and Lin Tianchong looked at each other, and within their eyes, there was a trace of certainty.
"Oh right, where are Chu Hu and the others?" Chu Xingyun was slightly worried about the injuries of Chu Hu and the others.
"Last night, Qin Tianfeng suddenly arrived. He said that he would discuss the pill formula with our chamber of commerce at noon. Liu Mieyun's group will also appear. Judging from the time, they should have already arrived at Qiyun Peak." Luo Lan's eyes were slightly red.
Boom!
Suddenly, a terrifying aura spread out from Chu Xingyun's body. This aura was filled with coldness and bloodlust. It was surrounded by an evil aura as if it wanted to destroy everything.
"Big Brother Chu, what are you doing?" Luo Lan was shocked by this aura. She couldn't move her body at all.
"The other party came to Qiyun Peak to force our chamber of commerce to submit. Since they have used force, I will not be restrained. I will use the blood of those people to wash away the humiliation that the chamber of commerce has suffered!"
Chu Xingyun spat out a cold voice. Below his feet, a storm of sword qi rose and enveloped his body. In a flash, he disappeared from Luo Lan's sight.
