Willing to Submit
"Chu Xingyun, don't go too far!"
Su Kong felt a wave of depression rush up to his head, and he almost spat out blood. "An earth spirit realm flying spirit beast costs at least a hundred thousand spirit stones. You want me to hand over three earth spirit realm flying spirit beasts in exchange for two hundred thousand spirit stones? Do you take me for a fool?"
He looked at the lords of the merchant guilds as he spoke and said loudly, "Everyone, the Soaring Cloud Merchant Guild has forced us to this extent. If we don't retaliate, how will we survive in the future?"
His words were full of incitement, but unfortunately, the other lords didn't respond.
The Qin Merchant Guild was the strongest amongst the nine great merchant guilds. Qin Tianfeng had long since fled, leaving the remaining eight guilds without a leader. How could they fight against the Soaring Cloud Merchant Guild?
One had to know that the Soaring Cloud Merchant Guild didn't only have Chu Xingyun and the eighteen Spirit Puppets. Yang Yan and the others hadn't made a move from beginning to end. If a chaotic battle broke out, they would die without a doubt!
"I've said before that I don't want to fall out with all of you. It would be best if we could bury the hatchet. Of course, if the White River Merchant Guild isn't willing to hand over the three hundred thousand spirit stones, that's fine too. I don't mind making a move again." Chu Xingyun's voice was calm.
At the entrance, the eighteen Six Terminations Soul Puppets began to close in. The Ten Thousand Beast Fire in the air also gradually became brighter. The raging flames shone on Su Kong's face, flickering as if he would fall at any time.
"Damn it!" Su Kong looked at Chu Xingyun's icy gaze. He knew that the White River Merchant Guild wouldn't be able to escape unscathed today. They would have to pay a huge price.
After thinking for a moment, Su Kong laughed bleakly and took out three silver tokens, throwing them in front of Chu Xingyun.
Chu Xingyun immediately grasped the three tokens in his hand and released his spirit power, surging towards the tokens.
Hum hum hum!
Three muffled sounds rang out. Chu Xingyun's thoughts moved slightly, and he shouted into the air, "Come!"
The silver tokens trembled and a faint ripple spread out. Not long after, three black golden-winged eagles appeared in the air above Qi Yunfeng, emitting high-pitched eagle cries.
These three silver tokens were called Beast Taming Tokens. As long as a warrior infused their Spiritual Energy into the tokens, they would be able to resonate with the tamed spirit beast. With this resonance, they would be able to easily control the spirit beast.
The three Golden Eagles above Qi Yunfeng were naturally the three earth Spirit Realm flying Spirit beasts that Su Kong had mentioned.
In the sky........... Two hundred thousand spirit stones in exchange for three.................... of two hundred thousand for three for three........................ two............................................
Even Yang Yan, Qin Tianyu, and the others had expressions of joy on their faces. Three earth spirit realm flying spirit beasts would be able to defend against enemies, and would also be able to travel easily. This would be extremely beneficial to them in the future.
"How about it? Can my White River Merchant Guild leave? "Su Kong's heart was dripping blood as his voice trembled.
"Of course." Chu Xingyun smiled faintly. His thoughts moved slightly, and the eighteen Six Demise Soul Puppets immediately opened up a path for the White River Merchant Guild to safely leave the Soaring Cloud Hall.
Chu Xingyun put away the three Beast Taming Tokens and then looked at the other seven merchant guilds.
Luo Chuanfeng and Li Yunhai stepped out at almost the same time at this moment. They tossed two storage rings in front of Chu Xingyun with a wave of their hands. There were exactly three hundred thousand spirit stones in each ring.
The Luoshui and Yangbao Merchant Guilds under their banner were far less wealthy than the Qin Merchant Guild. Three hundred thousand spirit stones was almost all of their profits for two years. If they took it out, the two merchant guilds would be in dire straits.
But even so, they didn't want to haggle.
They'd all seen the miserable state of the White River Merchant Guild just now. They hadn't taken advantage of the situation, but had instead been exploited by Chu Xingyun, who'd taken away an earth spirit realm flying spirit beast.
In light of this, the two of them gritted their teeth, took out the three hundred thousand spirit stones, and left.
"At least you know what's good for you." Chu Xingyun put away the two storage rings with a smile and looked at the other merchant guilds again. His voice was emotionless as he said faintly, "Now, it's your turn."
Thump!
The hearts of the five people shook violently as they looked at each other, their eyes full of bitterness.
Of the nine great merchant guilds, the Qin Merchant Guild was the strongest, followed by the Luoshui, White River, and Yangbao Merchant Guilds. Their five merchant guilds could only be considered average.
Three hundred thousand spirit stones was almost all of their savings. Once they handed it over, the merchant guilds would fall into dire straits, and even their entire families would fall into dire straits.
"Chairman Chu, my Splendid Merchant Guild is willing to join the Soaring Cloud Merchant Guild. From now on, we will follow the Soaring Cloud Merchant Guild's lead. Is this enough to offset the three hundred thousand spirit stones?" The person who spoke was the master of the Splendid Merchant Guild.
Everyone looked at each other when these words were spoken. The Splendid Merchant Guild was willing to join the Soaring Cloud Merchant Guild?
Ever since the Soaring Cloud Merchant Guild had been established, the nine great merchant guilds had displayed a strong sense of rejection. They'd even raised the price of spirit materials in order to suppress the Soaring Cloud Merchant Guild and show off their might.
And now, one of the nine great merchant guilds, the Splendid Merchant Guild, had actually chosen to submit!
"Of course."
Chu Xingyun's reply was straightforward as he said bluntly, "The Splendid Merchant Guild's strength is not ordinary and has branches in all the major cities. My Soaring Cloud Merchant Guild has already begun to establish branches, and your addition can provide a trade route and speed up the construction of the branches in all the major cities."
When he spoke here, Chu Xingyun looked at the master of the Splendid Merchant Guild and suddenly smiled. "Anyone who cooperates with my Soaring Cloud Merchant Guild will receive a fifty-fifty split of the profits. But since your Splendid Merchant Guild was in the wrong first, the profit distribution will be changed to thirty-seventy. Your Splendid Merchant Guild will take thirty percent, how about it?"
"Ah? Thirty, thirty percent? "Hearing these words, the master of the Splendid Merchant Guild was suddenly stunned. He was so shocked that he was somewhat speechless.
The reason why the Splendid Merchant Guild joined the Soaring Cloud Merchant Guild was to repay the three hundred thousand spirit stones. But Chu Xingyun said that these three hundred thousand spirit stones didn't need to be repaid. They only needed to change the profit distribution.
This was simply like a good thing that had fallen from the sky. Moreover, it had accurately smashed onto the head of the Splendid Merchant Guild.
One had to know that the Soaring Cloud Merchant Guild was the number one merchant guild in the Liuyun Dynasty. Any merchant guild that cooperated with it would earn several times more profits. This thirty percent seemed small, but it was much more than the Splendid Merchant Guild at its peak.
Gasp —
The master of the Splendid Merchant Guild took a deep breath and took two steps forward. Then, he bowed slightly to Chu Xingyun and said, "President Chu, I was blinded by lard before. If I've offended you, please forgive me. In the future, my Splendid Merchant Guild will definitely support the Soaring Cloud Merchant Guild with all our strength. We will not be disloyal!"
