)
The burly bronze lion flies across the sky, even if it can accommodate hundreds of people.
Shen Yi sat cross-legged on the lion's head, flipping through the booklet compiled by Qingfeng Li.
The three elders of the Chen family, as well as everyone from the Qinghai Mansion, all wore Nanyang deacon robes and stood quietly behind him.
Only Jing Jingsong, who had the highest level of cultivation, seemed to have remembered something, and his face was a little uneasy.
Damn it... I was so excited just now that I completely forgot about other things.
He walked carefully behind Shen Yi: "Jing Song has something he wants to bother the immortal about."
"My surname is Shen."
Shen Yi didn't like the so-called "immortal" title, so she looked back and said, "Go ahead."
Since the other party has returned to Nanyang Sect, as long as he doesn't borrow anything, everything else is easy to deal with.
"Senior Shen, it's not really a troublesome thing. During the many years since Nanyang Shangzong settled down, we and these Nanyang vassals have actually been quite closely connected thanks to our ancestral relationship."
Jing Jingsong smiled coquettishly: "So we have been working for the Shuiyue Merchant Alliance. They do some pledge business among the major sects, so we are responsible for helping to see and deliver some valuable things. We just forgot about it, and we still hope that Nanyang Immortal Zong Neng issued an order to inform them that the Qinghai Mansion will return the deposit as quickly as possible."
In fact, this matter doesn't have to be that troublesome at all.
The Qinghai Mansion was working for the Nanyang Sect, so they couldn't get out of it. They didn't break the contract without reason. Even the Shuiyue Merchant Alliance was a vassal of the Nanyang Sect, so they didn't need to say hello at all, and they didn't even need to refund the deposit.
But Jing Jingsong didn't want to give people the impression of going back on his word, and always felt ashamed and panicked, so he wanted to ask Shen Yi to help testify.
Watching Shen Yi ponder for a moment.
Jing Jingsong added: "They have a rich background, and the filial piety they pay each time is the most among the same forces."
"..."
Shen Yi looked sideways, did she really look greedy for money?
He nodded: "Okay."
In fact, the silence just now was not due to hesitation, it was just that with Shen Yi's current cultivation level, he could not use the legal means.
Forget it, there is nothing urgent anyway.
Just go there directly.
If I remember correctly, I did see the name Shuiyue Merchant Alliance on the previous gilded roster.
The size is a whole level larger than that of the Puppet Sect.
Thinking of this, Shen Yi pinched the magic formula, mobilized the spirit puppet to turn, and suddenly flew towards the direction recorded in the booklet!
Not long after the lion puppet disappeared.
The calm water below suddenly became rippled.
Several figures emerged from the water, wearing armor, but they used knives and axes to chop off the identification marks on them.
They took out the conch and said in a hoarse voice: "The news is true, he is indeed here."
I don’t know what the other end of the conch responded to.
Several water tribes nodded slightly, their eyes full of murderous intent, and then submerged under the water again, as if they had never appeared before.
…
Above the endless ocean, there is a huge floating island.
It is filled with gorgeous formations, making this floating island even more mysterious.
There is an octagonal tall building standing above.
There was an endless stream of people coming and going, and all kinds of treasure ships were parked around the floating island.
Shuiyue Merchant Alliance.
Backed by the Seven Sons Immortal Sect, he runs the entire Nanhong business.
At this moment, at the top of the tall building, there was a luxuriously furnished room.
The tall and thin man was dressed in plain clothes, with no decorations on his body, except for an ordinary string of beads on his wrist.
But a truly knowledgeable person will be able to recognize that this bead is unique to the Dragon Palace.
It may not be too rare in the Dragon Palace.
But wearing it on the wrist of a human monk is enough to prove his wealth and means.
Shuiyue Merchant Alliance, Wen Qiujin.
As long as you give enough money, this person can find ways to get you even things from the Dragon Palace.
At this moment, Wen Qiujin closed his eyes and fell asleep, listening to the whispers of the people around him.
Only occasionally would he nod.
"Alliance leader, this is probably what happened. The Nanyang Sect has returned and I have inquired with the Seventh Son of Nanhong. This matter is true. We have indeed been reclassified as vassals of the Nanyang Sect. The first time they appeared was in the Puppet Sect."
"But according to the news we have received, the current Nanyang Sect... may still be a little sluggish, and there is a discrepancy with the news released by the Zhao family. I will send someone to investigate carefully for a few days."
"Next time, should we hand over the matter of filial piety to the Tianjian Sect as usual, or..."
Wen Qiujin stretched out his palm to stop the man's words.
He opened his eyes and said calmly: "Pay two copies, one for each side, plus 50% for Tianjian Sect's share. Pay it in the name of another force as an apology."
The Wen family is in business, and the biggest taboo is offending others.
Besides, they rarely need help from the Seven Sons of Nanhong. They just want to use this tiger skin as a banner, and it doesn't matter who they give it to.
Anyway, in the eyes of outsiders, the Seven Sons are one body.
"My subordinate understands."
The guard said yes and was about to exit the room, but suddenly he was startled and took out the jade slip.
After a moment, he raised his head in shock and said: "The whistle sent a message, we saw the blue lion spirit puppet of the Puppet Sect coming towards us. It is most likely the deacon of the Nanyang Sect."
"This is too hasty!"
As soon as the Shuiyue Merchant Alliance was crossed, this group of people couldn't wait to come over to see this piece of fat. You know, Xiao Jing had just been handed over once.
"..."
Wen Qiujin smiled helplessly, then stood up slowly and patted the hem of his clothes.
His eyes were extremely indifferent, and he said softly: "Arrange someone to greet you."
Even if it's the Nanyang Immortal Sect, it still has to follow rules.
It's not that the Shuiyue Merchant Alliance won't eat this piece of meat, but they can't eat it as they please.
If seven sects come alternately to collect filial piety.
In a few years, the Wen family's huge family fortune will be completely eaten up by the seven sons of Nanhong.
Wen Qiujin walked slowly downstairs.
As the guard next to him picked up the jade slip, a group of graceful female cultivators quickly gathered in front of the octagonal high-rise building, and then the clouds rose into the sky and separated on both sides.
They all took out jade flutes.
Soon the red clouds filled the air, and a sense of peace enveloped the place.
As the fairy music plays.
A majestic bronze lion puppet happened to appear in the clouds.
Wen Qiujin rose into the air and saluted without any pretense, followed by eighteen guards: "Welcome to the Nanyang Immortal Sect and come to the Shuiyue Merchant Alliance! Qiujin missed the welcome, but hopes to go to the immortal to atone for his sins."
In an instant, all the monks in the merchant alliance looked up at the bronze lion puppet in astonishment.
What a grand event it is to have the leader of the Shuiyue Merchant Alliance personally welcome him... Why is it that Nanyang Immortal Sect doesn't have much of an impression?
"..."
How have the Chen family and the Qinghai monks ever received such hospitality?
Taking a look at the Nanyang deacon robes on their bodies, they all had red faces and held their heads high and their chests held high.
Shen Yi sat upright among the lion puppets.
Calm look on his face.
It seems that the autumn wind will not blow today.
Since the other party has the whereabouts of himself and others, he must be well-informed. If he really wants to give something, he can't be so grand and offend the other Nanhong Seven Sons.
But it doesn't matter.
This gesture of the other party at least shows that he is submissive and willing to abide by the rules.
Thinking of this, Shen Yi activated the spirit puppet and flew straight into the floating island.
"Please come to the Immortal Tower, please."
Wen Qiujin came down again, and amid the flutes of many female nuns, he personally guided the group of Nanhong deacons: "Give Qiujin a chance to express his feelings."
Shuiyue Merchant Alliance's service efficiency is extremely fast.
From the time the news was received to the time the blue lion spirit puppet landed, a table full of delicacies, delicacies and fine wines had been prepared.
"It's time to work."
Shen Yi tapped his chin. Since he couldn't beat the autumn wind, he was actually not very interested.
That is to say, I came here to talk about the affairs of Qinghai Prefecture.
But since the other party is so polite, it doesn't matter if he stays for a meal.
"Being polite is what Qiu Jin should do."
Wen Qiujin was dressed in plain clothes, respectful but not philistine. As he led everyone upstairs to take their seats, he could tell the status of this group of people at a glance.
Shen Yi was brought to the main seat without any apparent intention.
Then a group of female nuns were summoned to pour wine and food for everyone.
Although Shen Yi was not used to such treatment, she didn't say much.
Several guards stood astride Wen Qiujin with their hands behind their backs.
His eyes quietly swept over everyone, recording information secretly.
The leader returned to the fourth level of virtual reality, but the old man with the highest cultivation level returned to the sixth level, and the rest were all at the fifth or fourth level.
It is in line with the style of the Immortal Sect's deacons going on tour.
It's just that except for that young man, the rest of them seem to be a bit older... and they look quite familiar. Why do they look more and more like people from Qinghai Prefecture?
Wen Qiujin obviously saw the identities of several people, but did not reveal it. He raised a glass to Shen Yi and said: "I heard that the Immortal passed by Qinghai Mansion. The Shuiyue Merchant Alliance also had some dealings with them before, but compared to me The small business we are waiting for is still the Immortal Sect’s more important matter.”
Shen Yi raised her glass in response and tapped her chin.
Faced with this kind of thing that I am not good at, I will bring Li Qingfeng with me next time.
However, the other party was obviously smart and saved a lot of trouble.
Drinking and drinking among each other.
A guard suddenly walked up to Wen Qiujin and sent a message: "Leader, our ship was sunk. The water tribe took action. We don't know the identity of the other party."
"..."
Wen Qiujin pondered for a moment and glanced at Shen Yi without disturbing her.
The Nanyang Sect came to the Shuiyue Merchant Alliance for the first time. Looking at the cultivation of these people, it was obvious that they were not ready to fight.
There is no need to prevent the Nanyang Sect from coming to Taiwan.
He also used a voice transmission to reply: "Send a letter to find out the reason and whether I have offended them unintentionally. The courtesy should not be less. Don't make a big fuss today."
After saying that, Wen Qiujin forced out a smile again and gave Shen Yi another drink.
"If the Immortal is interested, why don't Qiu Jin take you to visit the Shuiyue Merchant Alliance? After all, we haven't had contact with each other for many years, so we can't help but feel a little alienated."
He had not thought about paying another filial piety today, but it was something he should do to let the Nanyang Sect understand the current size of the Shuiyue Merchant Alliance and how much they should receive, so as to avoid any gaps in their hearts in the future.
"That's fine."
Shen Yi just wanted to take this opportunity to learn more about the outside world.
At the same time.
It's right in the busiest place on the floating island.
An old man was arguing with someone about something: "It's a piece of shit, and you want to charge me this amount? You've got shit in your head?!"
"Master Zhang, please be polite. They are all from the Shuiyue Merchant Alliance. You don't know the price yourself?" The young monk rolled his eyes and glanced at the man behind Master Zhang who was obviously an extraordinary person.
The other person's face still had newly healed wounds.
The whole body feels sluggish.
A monk who looks like he is on the run must be extremely anxious. If he misses this opportunity, he will be struck by lightning.
"well."
Xiao Yuanlin looked at Mr. Zhang helplessly. The price offered by Fairy Baohua was enough to buy two pieces of that land.
It's just that the other party took such a big risk and brought all the people of Xiaojiabao here, so it's normal to want to make more money.
"I……"
Master Zhang looked furious and grabbed the young monk's collar: "Don't go too far!"
At this moment, he suddenly caught sight of something from the corner of his eye.
The rage on his face instantly faded away, and he lost all pretense and turned into a dull expression.
Seeing his expression change slightly, Xiao Yuanlin looked to the side with the same curiosity. Then he saw Wen Qiujin in plain clothes, but his eyes quickly moved to the side, to the tall figure in ink.
"Hey! The alliance leader is here, don't be scared! Do you want to buy it or not? If not, I have other things to do."
The young monk sneered twice.
But he saw Master Zhang letting go of himself and staring in the direction of the alliance leader.
Then his fingertips trembled and he said to Xiao Yuanlin: "Yes... yes... it's him!"
After seeing each other last time, the most frustrating thing for Mr. Zhang was that he had lost track of Senior Shen, and he didn't even know the other person's identity.
He had guessed many possibilities, but he never thought that the other party would be related to the Shuiyue Merchant Alliance!
It's a very simple reason. How can a person who can be personally accompanied by the leader of the literary alliance still need to use the relocation method to rush on his way, and has to go to the Baohua Sect in person to find the elixir.
"..."
Xiao Yuanlin walked silently to the edge of the road cleared by the guards.
In full view of everyone, he suddenly knelt on the ground with a thud and kowtowed several times towards the back of the ink-shirted figure!
There were not many words until the newly healed wounds on his forehead were reopened.
He just took a few deep breaths.
For Senior Shen, it might just be a deal between him and Fairy Baohua.
But to him, Xiao Yuanlin, it was his wife's life-or-death feud.
"this……"
Wen Qiujin heard the movement, glanced back, and then turned his attention to Shen Yi.
"It's an old acquaintance."
Shen Yi didn't pay too much attention, but just pointed to Jing Jingsong with his eyes.
I wanted to make another fortune from Fairy Baohua before.
I just find it too troublesome.
Unexpectedly, it was delivered to my door. Nanyang Treasure Land lacks everything except space.
"Oh."
Master Zhang watched the senior who had returned to the sixth level of the Void walk out silently and brought Xiao Yuanlin to a quiet place. He suddenly understood, turned to the young monk with a smile and said: "You can keep the cubs on that piece of land." , I don’t like it!”
He took out the reward given by Fairy Baohua and ran quickly in the direction Xiao Yuanlin left.
This matter is just a trivial little farce.
Wen Qiujin quickly brought the topic back and continued to take Shen Yi to visit the business alliance.
At this time, the monk who left earlier hurried back.
His face became increasingly ugly.
He walked to Wen Qiujin and continued to transmit the message: "The letter we sent was torn into pieces before it hit the water. Another treasure ship was sunk. They seem to have surrounded the Shuiyue Merchant Alliance."
"This doesn't look like fighting against the autumn wind. It's obvious that he came with hostility."
"..."
After Wen Qiujin listened quietly, the palms in his sleeves slowly clenched tightly.
He pondered for a moment, but still couldn't figure out where the Shuiyue Merchant Alliance had offended the Shui tribe recently. The people below would never dare to hide such a big thing.
And he didn't even accept letters, which clearly showed a bit of stubbornness.
The Shuiyue Merchant Alliance is large, but its own strength is not strong. It has recruited many strong people in the late stage of returning to the void, but they are all at the seventh level of returning to the void.
Compared to living monks, Wen Qiujin believes in dead things more.
A large amount of family property was invested in the formation on the floating island. Without the strength to return to virtual reality, it would be impossible to break through the formation.
But since the water tribe surrounded the area, trading would be impossible.
"First ask them to stop the boat and let the third child go take a look."
Wen Qiujin looked away, but unfortunately this time he couldn't smile.
He has already found the reason within himself.
But I really can't think of it.
If the factors of Shuiyue Merchant Alliance are eliminated, then the remaining possibilities...
He stared at Shen Yi seriously.
The sudden arrival of the other party on the floating island seemed a bit unexpected, and he did not mention filial piety at all during the meal, so the excuses he had prepared in advance were of no use.
Everything in the world has a reason.
It is impossible for the other party to come and sit for a while out of nowhere.
Don't cause trouble, just fall in love with the Shuiyue Merchant Alliance's formation.
"What's up?"
Shen Yi looked sideways at each other.
After all, he was here as a guest, and he had no intention of eavesdropping on the other party's transmission. Of course, he didn't have this method for the time being.
"Nothing."
Wen Qiujin smiled and shook his head.
If you want to pull off the tiger's skin and pull the flag, you have to pay a price. Although you have paid filial piety, you still have to protect the other party. This thing sounds a bit ridiculous.
But in Nanhong, there is no sense in itself.
However, his smile only lasted less than an hour.
Just after Wen Qiujin took Shen Yi and others to visit the Merchant Alliance Market, the guard hurried over for the third time.
This time there was more blood in his eyes.
He didn't even use the message transmission, he said directly: "Report to the leader, the third child has been captured."
The moment the words fell, before the Nanyang Sect and others had any reaction, the faces of all the monks from the Shuiyue Merchant Alliance had changed drastically.
The so-called third child is one of the seven worshipers invited by the Shuiyue Merchant Alliance at a large price.
They are all strong men who have returned to the seventh level of virtual reality.
Enter the later stage.
It is a famous presence throughout Nanhong.
Even if one person is missing, it will be a huge loss to the Shuiyue Merchant Alliance.
"..."
Wen Qiujin obviously did not expect this matter to be so serious.
When it comes to things in the late stage of returning to the void, how could it be possible that there was no movement at all and he just put on this posture.
It was as if he saw his doubts.
The guard glared at everyone in the Nanyang Sect angrily, and then took out a scrawled letter from his sleeve.
There was no signature on the letter, just a line of blood writing.
"Hand over Shen Yi, otherwise there will be no more Shuiyue Merchant Alliance in Nanhong."
After reading that letter.
Wen Qiujin closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he was already a little more sulky.
He looked at the young man next to him again: "I don't remember that there is such a person in the business alliance. I dare to ask the immortal, do you know Shen Yi?"
Traders are most afraid of trouble, but they also don't like to suffer losses.
If you dare to act so recklessly on the territory of Nanhong Seven Sons, you will either have a blood feud or your strength will overwhelm the sky.
No matter what kind of trouble it is, it is not something that the Shuiyue Merchant Alliance should bear.
"know."
Shen Yi nodded, turned around and headed towards the edge of the floating island.
After several Nanyang Sect deacons were stunned, they all said: "Senior Shen, don't be impulsive!"
They are not newbies either.
Although it is not as comprehensive as Wen Qiujin thought, he can still guess a thing or two.
On this island, there is still formation protection. The best choice is to notify the sect to come for help. There is no need to fight for a moment.
Even if Dragon Palace comes in person, can we still not give Nanyang Sect some face?
"Senior Shen?"
Wen Qiujin had been calling him an immortal, but it was only now that he realized that the person mentioned in the letter was the young man in front of him.
So the other party really hid the news and came here to take refuge?
He suppressed his anger and regained his sense: "Qiu Jin's words were serious just now. He also asked the Immortal to inform the Seventh Son of Nan Hong and send people to help. The Shuiyue Merchant Alliance's formation can still persist for a while. If they can be broken , and we won’t just yell outside.”
Where is the help?
The strongest ones in Nanyang Sect, except for the otaku who turned into wood, are all here.
Surrounded by everyone, Shen Yi left the octagonal high-rise building leisurely.
Walk to the edge of the floating island and overlook the waves.
Since leaving Nanyang Treasure Land, if there is really any life-and-death feud and it has not been dealt with completely, there is actually only one force left.
But where did the other party get the information about him? This is worth pondering.
With Shen Yi's appearance.
Wen Qiujin followed closely behind, also looking towards Wang Yang.
I don't know if I noticed something.
His expression suddenly changed, and he notified the guards with a jade slip. The next moment, a rich light curtain enveloped the entire floating island.
Six more figures appeared together, hanging over the floating island, looking ahead with solemn expressions.
Almost at the same time.
Huge waves instantly rolled up on the water surface, and waited until the waves dissipated.
A total of twelve figures appeared quietly.
They were all wearing armor and were covered with cuts and gouge marks, leaving nothing to prove their identity.
It is completely different from ordinary aquariums.
There is not even a single powerful shrimp soldier and crab general.
They have cold eyes and come only to kill.
Among them, those with the lowest cultivation level are also at the sixth level of virtual reality, and only account for half of them.
The rest are all water tribe demons who have returned to the seventh level of virtual reality.
One of the fish monsters with horns grabbed a monk by the neck with an indifferent expression, walked up the waves, and faced everyone: "Hand over Shen Yi, and this man will live."
"..."
Wen Qiujin has always been known for his calmness, but at this moment, he couldn't help but make a clicking sound with his fingers.
As a vassal of the Seventh Son of Nanhong, when had I ever been so wronged?
But he couldn't really push the Immortal Sect monks out. If he committed such a treasonous act, the Shuiyue Merchant Alliance would really be over.
"Senior Shen, please go back and discuss it further."
He took a few deep breaths and his voice became slightly colder. If you really know the leader of the Wen Alliance, you can tell that he has really reached the limit of his endurance.
Watching the life and death of the worshippers, I don't know how much price I have to pay if I want to stabilize the mind of other worshippers.
The words were not spoken yet.
But he suddenly heard the roar of a ferocious beast.
Above the surface of the ocean, a huge shadow suddenly appeared.
Something huge fell from the sky.
Waves tens of feet high suddenly hit the waves!
The aquarium fish demon who spoke earlier disappeared without a trace.
"..."
The rest of the aquatic tribe has not yet reacted.
Then suddenly I saw a shadow passing through the sky and falling towards the floating island.
In an instant.
The water waves rolled again, and a suffocating pressure burst out from below.
A strong and majestic figure slowly emerged from the water.
The whole body is like the texture of sapphire.
It looks like a ferocious rhinoceros monster.
It grinned ferociously and clasped the fish demon's neck tightly with its five fingers. The armor on the opponent's body had long been shattered, and it could only struggle wildly with its limbs.
But no matter how hard the fish demon struggled, it was completely unable to shake the sapphire palm.
Infused with the demonic origin, he suffered more than 200,000 years of torture.
Reappeared in the world for the first time.
The jade rhinoceros demon stared mockingly at the many demons in front of it.
After receiving instructions from the master's soul.
It opened its mouth, revealing its huge, cold teeth, and used its five fingers to exert force.
Crushed the head of the fish demon into a pile of plasma.
The powerful aura, comparable to the eighth level of Void Return, caused the surroundings to lose their voices instantly and fall into a dead silence.
"There will be something similar next time."
Shen Yi looked back at Wen Qiujin and said calmly: "You can just say it."
Not every time we have such a lucky chance to save someone.
"They...they are..."
Hearing this, Wen Qiujin was a little stunned. Could it be that he had misunderstood.
Is it really not a deliberate move by the Immortal, but just a coincidence?
And why did this rhinoceros demon fight for the Immortal Sect?
wrong.
Wen Qiujin took a closer look and discovered something strange.
What kind of demon is this? It is clearly a powerful spirit puppet. Whether it is the lifelike appearance or the difference in realm, it is far beyond what the so-called puppet sect can match!
It's almost like a living thing.
What a miraculous craftsmanship this is!
"..."
Shen Yi withdrew her gaze and looked at the group of monsters again.
Coincidentally, he didn't want to reveal the other party's identity.
After all, with my current background, I am still unable to fight against Dragon Palace.
There should be more than just these coming today.
That old arowana hasn't shown up yet.
Chapter completed!
