Exploit the nine chambers of commerce.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The 18 Six Terminations Soul Puppets landed behind Chu Xingyun. Each Soul Puppet was stained with blood. The pungent smell of blood permeated the air, causing the crowd to feel fear from the bottom of their hearts.
In the Imperial City, Liu Song and the dozen or so elders of the Martial House were all first-class experts, especially Liu Song, who was half a step into the Sky Spirit Realm. He had already been famous for dozens of years, and his fierce reputation was illustrious.
But today, they were all dead. They were all killed by Chu Xingyun.
What was even more shocking was that there were no casualties on Chu Xingyun's side. It was a complete victory!
"To be able to kill Liu Song, who was half a step into the Heavenly Spirit Realm, when he just entered the earth spirit realm, Chu Xingyun's talent is too terrifying. He can be said to be the number one genius of the Flowing Cloud Dynasty.
"It's not just the younger generation. Even in the entire Liuyun Dynasty, there are probably very few who are Chu Xingyun's match. After all, there are only a dozen or so people in the Liuyun Dynasty who are at the sky spirit realm."
"To have such strength and influence at the age of seventeen, this child's future achievements are simply immeasurable!"
The crowd looked at Chu Xingyun and sighed. There was not the slightest bit of unwillingness in their voices. They were all deeply convinced by Chu Xingyun's actions.
"This Liu Song is truly a complete and utter trash!" Qin Tianfeng clenched his teeth and stared ahead. His body quietly retreated into the crowd, wanting to sneak away.
Whoosh!
A purple-red flame suddenly bloomed, bypassing the crowd's obstacles and blooming in front of Qin Tianfeng. It enveloped his body and completely sealed off his escape route.
The flame dissipated, and Chu Xingyun appeared in front of Qin Tianfeng with a faint smile on his lips. "Qin Tianfeng, we haven't settled the score between us yet. Isn't it a little inappropriate to leave like this?"
There was a trace of coldness in his voice, causing Qin Tianfeng to shudder. He said seriously, "What a joke. I have nothing to do with your Soaring Cloud Merchant Guild. What score is there to settle?"
Qin Tianfeng flicked his sleeves and was about to stride out of the Soaring Cloud Hall.
However, he had only taken a few steps when rays of light flickered in front of him. A few Six-Terminated Soul Puppets had blocked his path. Even the Masters of the other eight chambers of commerce were stopped by the Six-Terminated Soul Puppets.
Chu Xingyun looked at the nine people in front of him and sneered. "It has been several months since my Soaring Cloud Merchant Guild opened. During this time, the nine of you have worked together to raise the price of spiritual materials to suppress my Soaring Cloud Merchant Guild. Do you think I don't know this?"
"Moreover, today, the nine of you colluded with the Yunmeng Martial House and led people to force Qi Yunfeng to hand over all the elixir recipes in a rude and unreasonable manner. Not only did you break the rules set by the Five Great Martial Houses, but you also disrupted the order of the Imperial City."
"First, it was old hatred, and now it's new. I really can't think of any reason for you to leave unscathed." When Chu Xingyun finished speaking, the nine people's faces had become extremely ugly.
Everyone had seen the words and actions of the nine merchant guilds. They were indeed too sinister. If the Soaring Cloud Merchant Guild were to attack and destroy them, no one would argue.
"Then what do you want?" Qin Tianfeng's voice was cold, but more than that, it was filled with helplessness.
If it had been half a month ago, he wouldn't have been so afraid of the Soaring Cloud Merchant Guild.
But now, Chu Xingyun had the terrifying strength to kill a cultivator half a step into the sky spirit realm. With the addition of the eighteen Six Fiend Soul Puppets, they were completely suppressed.
"We are all businessmen, and harmony is the most important thing. Although your actions have gone too far, our Soaring Cloud Merchant Guild won't completely fall out with you." Chu Xingyun smiled. "How about this, each of the nine merchant guilds will take out three hundred thousand spirit stones, and the grudges between us will be written off."
As he spoke, Chu Xingyun played with the Ten Thousand Beast Fire in his hand. The flame flickered, and the shadow of a wolf spirit flickered in the center of the flame, intimidating everyone present.
In the half a month since he'd left the Imperial City, Chu Xingyun had obtained many treasures. The number of spirit stones he'd accumulated had reached two million.
However, these spirit stones were far from enough.
Setting aside the construction of the branches in the various cities, Chu Xingyun's Six Fiend Soul Puppets required an enormous amount of forging materials every time they were upgraded. The Heavenly Saint Spirit Orb required ten thousand spirit stones for every strand of holy spirit qi it spat out.
In addition to the arrangement of the three great spirit formations and Qi Yunfeng's plans, all of these required the support of spirit stones.
If he'd relied solely on the Soaring Cloud Merchant Guild's profits, it would've taken a long time to complete these plans. However, if he'd received spirit stones from the nine merchant guilds, he could squander them as he pleased without any scruples.
When they heard Chu Xingyun's words, the heads of the merchant guilds all looked pained. Some of them wanted to haggle, but Qin Tianfeng waved his hand and threw out a storage ring with a whoosh.
"Three hundred thousand spirit stones are all in there." After Qin Tianfeng said this, he turned around and walked out. He had lost so much face that he didn't want to stay here.
"No wonder you're the head of the Qin Clan's merchant guild. You're really straightforward!" Chu Xingyun said loudly after checking some storage rings. This made Qin Tianfeng's face even more distorted. He took a step forward and disappeared without a trace.
"In the past, the Qin Clan's total annual profit could reach five hundred thousand spirit stones. However, after our suppression, the total annual profit is only two hundred thousand spirit stones. Chu Xingyun asked for three hundred thousand spirit stones as soon as he opened his mouth. He's really impolite!" Qin Tianyu felt a wave of satisfaction in his heart as he looked in the direction Qin Tianfeng left.
The nine merchant guilds had been standing in the Liuyun Dynasty for many years. They were deeply rooted and had a rich heritage. It was impossible to eliminate them in a short time.
Chu Xingyun knew this very well. Therefore, he asked for three hundred thousand spirit stones from the nine merchant guilds instead of taking action.
In this way, the Soaring Cloud Merchant Guild could use these spirit stones to speed up their development and weaken the power of the nine merchant guilds. After all, three hundred thousand spirit stones was not a small amount. Even the nine merchant guilds would suffer a loss.
One would prosper while the other would decline.
The gap between the nine merchant guilds and the Soaring Cloud Merchant Guild would widen until the nine merchant guilds were completely devoured!
"Chu Xingyun, you win!"
At this moment, the patriarch of the Su Family, Su Kong, stepped forward. After glaring at Chu Xingyun, he also threw out a storage ring and said reluctantly, "There are 100,000 spiritual stones and the ownership rights of 50 Spirit Assembly Stage spirit beasts. The total value is equivalent to 300,000 spiritual stones.
"The Su Clan specializes in taming spirit beasts. According to the market price, fifty spirit beasts in the Spirit Gathering Realm are indeed worth two hundred thousand spirit stones. However, what do I need these spirit beasts for?"
