Chapter 9: Horse Archer Guan Yu, Meets Your Highness!
No one would have thought that the Haotian Sect would give in, and no one would have thought that the Haotian Sect would cut off all contact with the outside world and close the mountain from then on.
The towering Haotian Sect is the leader in fighting soul hammer.
The best weapon spirit in the world!
Why are you so scared before the fight even starts?
This is the common cry in the hearts of all chambers of commerce!
A month after Qian Xunji's funeral, the news that the Haotian Sect had closed the mountain shocked the entire soul master world.
This piece of news made all the soul masters feel incredible, because in their minds, the Haotian Sect could not possibly be associated with "cowardice", but the reality severely slapped the faces of these soul masters who regarded the Haotian Sect as a holy place in their hearts.
Many powerful attacking soul masters who admired the Haotian Sect directly changed from fans to haters.
As the saying goes, the more admiration there was in the past, the more angry I am now.
Tiandou City.
Qibao Chamber of Commerce.
Just by looking at the name, you can tell that the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is behind this Chamber of Commerce.
In the office of the Chamber of Commerce president, the president of Qibao Chamber of Commerce was reporting to Ning Fengzhi tremblingly.
"Master, it is my incompetence that has caused such a large amount of goods to be piled up in the warehouse. Please punish me."
Ning Fengzhi sat in the office chair with a frown on his face, but he was not in a hurry to punish her. Instead, he comforted her, "It's not your fault. No one would have thought that with the style of the Haotian Sect, they would actually close the mountain and choose to show weakness to the Spirit Hall directly."
If the Haotian Sect and the Spirit Hall go to war, then the Xingluo Empire, which is close to the Haotian Sect, will follow suit. If Xingluo moves, Tiandou will move, and the Qibao Liuli Sect will also take action.
But now that the Haotian Sect has closed its mountain, and the Spirit Hall no longer threatens the Haotian Sect, the Xingluo Empire has lost a major ally of the Haotian Sect, so naturally it is impossible for it to have any other ideas. The Tiandou Empire has always been at a disadvantage in the battle with the Xingluo Empire, and has been passive every time, so if the Xingluo Empire does not move, the Tiandou Empire will not take the initiative to attack.
So in the final analysis, the attitude of the Haotian Sect became the key to influencing this melee.
"How much direct loss did we suffer this time?" Ning Fengzhi asked.
The president of the Qibao Chamber of Commerce stammered: "Master, if this batch of goods falls into our hands, the conservative estimate is that we will lose 6 billion gold soul coins..."
Even though it was the richest Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but twitch his lips when he heard this number.
"By the way, what about the new Chamber of Commerce that was established not long ago? I remember you said before that they also swallowed up a lot of goods." Ning Fengzhi said.
Hearing this, the president of the Qibao Chamber of Commerce became even more angry: "Master, all of our chambers of commerce have been fooled by them! They bought in and sold in small batches the next day, making a net profit from the difference. They don't have much goods on hand. Not only did they not lose money this time, they even made at least 1 billion gold soul coins in this bidding!"
Ning Fengzhi frowned even more when he heard this.
"How much cash do we have now? The Haotian Sect has closed its mountains, and their overseas businesses must be cut off. Most chambers of commerce are afraid of offending the Spirit Hall and dare not take over, but we can take over." Ning Fengzhi thought quickly.
But who knew that the words of the President of Qibao Chamber of Commerce made him feel upset again.
"Master, it's too late. When we were still preparing to sell the strategic materials, the people from Tiandou Chamber of Commerce had already contacted Haotian Sect. I'm afraid that all of Haotian Sect's industries have been taken over by them."
"Master, it's as if they knew that the Haotian Sect was going to close the mountain this time. They are ahead of us every step of the way. But we have investigated and found that they have nothing to do with the Haotian Sect."
Ning Fengzhi rubbed his head. This was the first time he felt so passive since he became the leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
"Uncle Jian, it looks like we've really met our match this time."
The figure wearing a white robe and with neatly combed white hair was none other than the Sword Douluo Chen Xin, one of the Sword Bone Douluos of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
"Feng Zhi, we just lost once."
"Hey~ Who is in charge of Tiandou Chamber of Commerce?"
"Reporting to the Sect Master, the person who is negotiating the industry between Tiandou Chamber of Commerce and Haotian Sect seems to be called Liu Bei!"
...Compared to the dullness of the Qibao Chamber of Commerce, the Tiandou Chamber of Commerce was in a state of prosperity and joy at this time.
Liu Bei was lying on a chair in a slightly indecent posture, with dancers and musicians below him.
"Lord Xuande! Lord Xuande!"
Following the shouting, Xing Daorong ran in from outside.
"Lord Xuande, why are you enjoying yourself again? Mi Zizhong once said that we should increase revenue and reduce expenditure..."
Before Xing Daorong could finish his words, Liu Bei slammed the table.
"How dare you! Since our Chamber of Commerce was founded, we have been doing well. We have monopolized the funeral industry and made a fortune. We also made a lot of money from the resale of strategic materials. Not long ago, I took over all the industries of the Haotian Sect at a low price!"
"I've made so much money, so what's wrong with me enjoying myself?"
As he spoke, Liu Bei looked at the musicians and dancers who had stopped, and could not help but order them again: "It has nothing to do with you, keep playing the music and keep dancing!"
Because Xue Qinghe revealed the news of Haotian Sect's closure of the mountain in advance, Tiandou Chamber of Commerce was able to take over all of Haotian Sect's industries before others.
Liu Bei was the kind of person who had been accustomed to long-term repression. To put it bluntly, he was a person who had always been in the trough of failure. Once such a person succeeded or achieved some results, it would be easy for him to become arrogant.
This has been the case throughout history; it is human nature.
"Lord Xuande, stop playing music and dancing. His Highness has summoned you!" Xing Daorong shouted.
"What? His Highness summoned you? Why didn't you tell me earlier that His Highness summoned you?"
Having said that, Liu Bei hurriedly got up, put on his shoes, and rushed to Xueqinghe Mansion.
……
Xueqinghe Mansion.
In the hall, except Xing Daorong and Liu Bei, almost everyone else has arrived.
These people had come to Xue Qinghe to report their work, and it happened that Xue Qinghe's soul power level had been upgraded to level ten, so he could summon another Three Kingdoms character.
We are all comrades in the future, so when we meet, we naturally want to meet each other.
Xue Qinghe did not wait for Xing Daorong and Liu Bei, but simply waved his hand. As the system summoned, a red flag appeared with a big word "Shu" written on it.
"Shu?"
Currently, Xue Qinghe has nine people under his command. Liu Bei, Zhou Cang and Mi Zhu are in the Shu camp, Xu Chu, Jia Xu and Deng Ai are in the Wei camp, and Zhang Jiao, Hua Tuo and Xing Daorong are in the mixed camp. There is not a single rat in Jiangdong.
The originally balanced camp was completely broken with the rise of the Shu flag.
"Boom!"
There was a loud muffled sound, and the blade of a big knife hit the ground, causing the ground to crack.
Although I haven't seen the person yet, a murderous aura is already overwhelming.
The expressions of the generals changed one after another, even Xu Chu stared slightly.
While Zhou Cang was shocked, he seemed to sense a familiar breath.
After the Shu flag disappeared, a tall figure holding a big knife appeared in front of everyone.
The man who came was nine feet tall, with a beard two feet long. His face was as red as a date, and his lips were as red as painted with fat. He had phoenix eyes and drooping eyebrows. He was dressed in green, and had a dignified appearance and a majestic demeanor.
He held the sword on the ground, stroked his beard with one hand, and then knelt on one knee in front of Xue Qinghe:
"Horse Archer Guan Yu, meeting His Highness!"
