On the verge of breaking out
Half a month ago, Qi Yun Peak was still a dangerous peak and few people dared to set foot on it.
However, ever since the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce bought Qi Yunfeng, the entire mountain had undergone tremendous changes. The spirit beasts were no longer rampant, and the dense forest was no longer filled with killing intent. There were even pavilions rising from the ground all over the mountain.
At the top of Qi Yun Peak stood a majestic palace.
This palace was called the Soaring Cloud Palace and was the place where the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce made decisions. All the important matters of the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce were gathered there.
At this moment, countless people had gathered in the Soaring Cloud Palace. Everyone's face was gloomy and the atmosphere was solemn, causing the space to become extremely stiff.
In the middle of the palace, Tiger Chu and the rest stood there. All the core elites of the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce were there. Yang Yan, Xue Dangkong, Qin Tianyu and the rest were leading them.
As for the people in front, they were naturally the nine chambers of commerce led by Qin Tianfeng.
On the side of Qin Tianfeng, there was a group of people in black robes. Each of them carried a weapon on their back and looked gloomy. A thick Evil Yin Qi lingered around their bodies, never stopping for a moment.
The leader of the black-robed group was a middle-aged man with hideous scars on both sides of his face. A long saber hung from his waist. The saber was not out of its sheath, but everyone could feel the overbearing aura of the saber.
This middle-aged man was Liu Mieyun.
"After such a long stalemate, the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce still refuses to give in!"
At this moment, Liu Mieyun's gloomy voice rang out. He looked at Qin Tianyu and the rest with a smile and said coldly, "However, it doesn't matter. As long as you refuse to hand over the elixir formula, we won't stop. I'd like to see how long the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce can last."
"A few months ago, the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce used the name of the Soaring Cloud Martial Mansion to deceive us and caused our nine chambers of commerce to suffer heavy losses. Today, it's time for you to pay for this!" Qin Tianfeng said with a savage look on his face.
Previously, he had not dared to attack the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce because he was afraid of the Soaring Cloud Martial Mansion.
However, after knowing the truth, Qin Tianfeng was enraged. He had been deceived. There was no direct relationship between the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce and the Soaring Cloud Martial Mansion!
In his fury, Qin Tianfeng joined forces with the other nine chambers of commerce and interfered with the operations of the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce. No matter what, he had to settle this debt. Otherwise, it would be difficult to appease the anger in his heart!
When the two of them finished talking, the crowd behind them took a step forward. Their Qi burst forth in an unbridled manner. There was anger, coldness, greed, all sorts of things. They were all pointing their spears at the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce.
"The way of business has always been about mutual deception. Everyone knows this." Qin Tianyu looked at Qin Tianfeng and said with a smile, "The reason why your nine great merchant associations failed was because you were foolish. You can't blame anyone for this. But at this very moment, you all actually pushed the reason for your failure onto our merchant associations. It's truly laughable to the extreme!"
"Just because you have someone backing you, you dare to come out and bark so loudly? You've really thrown away the face of the Qin Clan." Qin Tianyu snorted coldly, causing Qin Tianfeng's expression to become exceedingly ugly. The head of the merchant association behind him also didn't have a pleasant expression.
"Qin Tianyu, you were the head of the Qin Clan, but in the end, you submitted to the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce and willingly submitted to a little brat. If you want to talk about shame, you should be the one, right?" A sharp voice sounded from the crowd.
The person who had spoken was Shui Chongxian.
A faint trace of yin qi circled around his body. It was obvious that he had stepped into the earth spirit realm. He raised his head as he spoke, full of confidence and without the slightest trace of fear on his face.
"Shui Chongxian, you think you have the right to speak?"
Tiger Chu's gaze was sharp as he looked straight at Shui Chongxian. He smiled, "The reason why the Shui Clan was able to gain a foothold in the imperial city is entirely because of the Luo Clan and the Yunmeng Martial Mansion. Without these two, you're nothing. It's a good thing that the young master drew a clear line between himself and the Shui Clan when he married Miss Liuxiang. Even if you don't find it embarrassing, I do!"
"Insolence!" Shui Chongxian's expression was exceedingly ugly. It was obvious that Tiger Chu had hit his sore spot.
Although the Shui Clan had been able to develop quickly and gain a foothold after coming to the imperial city, Shui Qianyue had also gradually revealed her talents and was now at the ninth level of spirit gathering. She was only one step away from the earth spirit realm.
However, all of this was incomparably dim when compared to Chu Xingyun's achievements. They couldn't even be mentioned in the same breath.
After coming to the imperial city, Shui Chongxian often thought of the marriage proposal back then and was filled with regret. He regretted drawing a clear line between himself and Chu Xingyun. Otherwise, his Shui Clan would definitely have a share in the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce today!
"Why don't I see Shui Qianyue? Could it be that she's afraid of seeing the young master and is purposefully hiding?" Tiger Chu mocked again. He was no longer the ignorant youth of the past. Even if he was in a dangerous situation, he wouldn't be afraid.
"Shut up! I'm afraid Chu Xingyun is already a dead man!" Shui Chongxian shouted angrily. He turned his gaze and cupped his fists at Liu Mieyun. "Senior Liu, these people won't give up until they see the coffin. Why don't we just attack them and show them who's boss?"
"That's right. If they don't want to compensate for the loss, we can only use force to solve it!" Luo Chuanfeng also agreed. He had been dissatisfied with the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce for a long time. Only by attacking could he vent his hatred in his heart.
Liu Mieyun looked at Tiger Chu and the rest again and said in a ferocious voice, "I'll ask one last time. Is the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce willing to hand over the elixir recipe?"
"If you want to fight, then fight! Why are you talking so much nonsense?" Yang Yan shouted. It was impossible for the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce to hand over the elixir recipe!
"Good, you have some backbone." Liu Mieyun sneered. His figure flickered, and he immediately turned into a wisp of black smoke. He flashed past Yang Yan's eyes and disappeared without a trace.
When he reappeared, there were two more figures in front of him.
The two figures were wearing cloth armor and there was a cloud emblem on their chests. They were the guards of the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce.
Liu Mieyun's hands were covered in black light. He grabbed the necks of the two guards with each hand. He looked coldly at Yang Yan and said, "Just now, I took two people away from you and you didn't even notice. I really don't understand where you get your courage from."
"From the first time I attacked until now, I have killed a total of 48 people. Including these two, I have killed exactly 50 people. Why does the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce always force me to kill people? Why can't you learn to be obedient?"
Liu Mieyun's eyes were cold and there was a murderous bloody light shining in them.
The black light on his body kept rolling and it seemed to contain some kind of power. It made the two guards cry out in pain and reverberated in the Soaring Cloud Hall. It was as if they were in hell and their hearts were trembling.
"Stop!"
At that moment, a loud voice came from afar. Everyone's eyes froze and they looked toward the source of the voice.
"What a strong Evil Yin Qi." Liu Mieyun thought to himself. He then shouted, "Who are you?"
As soon as his voice fell, a sword storm swept over. It was as fast as lightning and no one could see it clearly. It flashed and slowly landed in the center of the Soaring Cloud Hall.
"Chu Xingyun."
Yang Yan suddenly shouted. The crowd's eyes froze. Even their pupils constricted as they stared at Chu Xingyun's handsome face. They could not regain their senses for a long time.
