Chapter 418: Chapter 98 The First One is Saved for You [Seeking Monthly Ticket!]_1

Yesterday, when Xu Hongqiu said, "I don’t know how to repay you," Chu Liang thoughtfully made a small suggestion.

The Whale Guild is a major business force in the Immortal Cultivation World. After all, their influence spans across all the oceans, providing them with inherent advantages. Within Taotie City alone, there’s an entire street consisting of shops belonging solely to the Whale Guild, covering all sorts of businesses.

So Chu Liang proposed: Why not let the Whale Guild open a branch of every enterprise they have in Taotie City on Red Cotton Peak? They could just send some people here to stay, and the goods could circulate with those in Taotie City. Consider it as an additional sales channel. Even if they can’t make a profit, at least they won’t suffer any loss.

That alone would be enough to temporarily support the establishment of Red Cotton Peak.

Xu Hongqiu naturally agreed without hesitation.

This wasn’t a big deal to the Whale Guild. Compared with the life-saving grace that Chu Liang granted to her and her father, it was simply negligible.

However, looking at her current grandeur, it seemed that it was not as simple as opening a branch with a few people.

The giant flying boat was left hanging in mid-air as Xu Hongqiu descended. Chu Liang immediately greeted her.

"Miss Xu, what’s all this...?" Chu Liang looked at her, then at the flying boat.

He was a little taken aback.

"Didn’t you suggest that the Whale Guild should open a shop on Red Cotton Peak? After discussing it with my father, we immediately took stock of the shops in Taotie City and moved everything we could here." Xu Hongqiu laughed.

"Wait a minute..." Chu Liang raised his hand. "I think I said... open a branch? Just to put on a facade, that’s all."

Judging by the current situation, wouldn’t it break the facade?

"You indeed said just bring a few people, some goods, and it will be enough to put on a facade." Xu Hongqiu laughed. "But my father said that since you’re now his sworn brother, anyone who doesn’t give you face is disrespecting him. We don’t need to deal with Taotie City anymore, we might as well move everything to your place."

"This..." Chu Liang sighed: "Brother Xu is really generous."

In fact, with a quick thought, he figured out what was happening.

Previously, when he contacted those four or five pill shops, Taotie City directly sent a strong message, either stay in Taotie City or Red Cotton Peak, they could only choose one.

These shops must have been scared.

Compared with Taotie City, they were weaker. Their absence would not cause any impact. But if they leave Taotie City, it will be hard for them to survive.

But the Whale Guild was different. If all of their massive industries were to withdraw, Taotie City would lose an entire street.

Taotie City would certainly fear that.

Not to mention the potential controversy and damage to their reputation if the news broke, but losing the Whale Guild would also mean they would struggle to find another business with an extensive influence and rich goods.

So, all Xu Baishan has to do is release this information, and it’s easy to imagine that Taotie City would have to compromise.

Although Xu Baishan has great prestige in the Whale Guild, the existence of Thunder Rain Hall means that decisions are not solely made by him. It is unrealistic to transfer all of the Guild’s industries here just because someone saved his life.

So, in the end, they would probably just end up opening up a branch.

However, Chu Liang asked for a small favor, Xu Baishan made a small show of force, and in the end, they lend a big hand.

This move was nothing short of cunning.

This brother clearly understood all the ins and outs of interpersonal relationships.

Chu Liang concluded that this big brother is definitely a keeper.

When Xu Hongqiu heard Chu Liang calling her father "big brother", although she knew it made sense, it still sounded strange to hear it, and her smile inadvertently faltered.

She then changed the subject: "Let’s call down the brothers to unload the goods. They’ve been waiting in the sky for too long. We have already reported to the Unbounded Palace, so there shouldn’t be any issues."

Naturally, such a large Magic Artifact approaching Shu Mountain would require notifying the Shu Mountain Upper Echelon. Otherwise, it would have been warned and shot down already.

"Alright! Let’s get moving then!" Chu Liang also laughed. "I’ll go and contact the brothers from the Earth-Wood Hall to start building the shops."

Dan Lingzi saw all of these developments and immediately became anxious.

He hurriedly stopped Chu Liang and asked, "Young Hero Chu, didn’t we agree that I would be the first shop?"

"Didn’t you say you still needed to consider it?" Chu Liang asked.

"I’ve made up my mind. I’ve decided to settle down at Red Cotton Peak for life!" Dan Lingzi hastily replied.

If he was hesitant before, seeing the Whale Guild’s grand moves, even a fool could tell that this place was bound to flourish in the future.

So, what was there to hesitate about?

"Fine, the first shop is still yours." said Chu Liang, "It’s urgent here, I’ll first help them build the second, the third...you can keep the first, we’ll build it later."

Saying this, he hurriedly rushed to Tontian Peak, leaving Dan Lingzi on the spot to ponder this sentence.

Why did it feel stranger the more he thought about it?

...

Meanwhile, on a light and graceful painting boat in the Southern Region, only a silvery-scaled young man was left in the cabin.

Ji Lingyu takes out a jade cup and pours a cup of wine into it. He then casts a spell, there is a sizzling sound, and the wine in the cup seems to meet something burning hot, instantly turning into a cloud of mist.

The mist in mid-air actually condenses into a vague human shadow.

This humanoid shadow gradually solidifies. It is faintly visible as a curvaceous woman, but her face is not clear.

"Red Door God is dead." Ji Lingyu said bluntly.

"Huh?" As the fog fluctuated, the woman also spoke, "Didn’t you keep an eye on him?"

"It was my fault." said Ji Lingyu, "The plan to manipulate the Whale Guild was already completed. It was when I was capturing the Fire Dragon that I brought in two disciples of Shu Mountain, attracting Empress Feng from Shu Mountain...It was their master and disciple who destroyed this plan."

"Empress Feng..." The woman pondered for a moment, as if remembering something, "It’s that child from eighty years ago, right?"

"Yes." said Ji Lingyu, "Only she was left on the night of Dragon Stabbing in Yu Capital City."

"Heh..." The woman chuckled lightly, "Last time her disciple killed Tao Wu, disrupting Lu Chengyou’s plan; she personally killed Red Door God, is this considered retribution?"

"Without our means, she wouldn’t have been born into this world." Ji Lingyu said, "Even if we have to repay her, it should be showing gratitude instead."

"Sigh, it’s all thanks to that fool Lu Chengyou." The woman cursed again, "We’ve been dormant for eighty years and no one cared, but he had to stir things up in Shu Mountain. Now that we are so closely watched, the other plans are also affected."

"Where is he now?" Ji Lingyu asked.

"How dare he let us know?" The woman sneers, "Except for Xunyang, who wouldn’t want to kill him? He is now a useless man, and he knows so much about Mars. If we see him, we must annihilate him entirely!"

"I messed up the Whale Guild this time and I need to lay low." After a pause, Ji Lingyu added, "It’s my mistake this time. I will make it up when I get the chance."

"No worries, although the Whale Guild with hundreds of thousands of members is an important part in our plan, it is after all just a force from the martial world. We can find other ways." The woman said, "What really matters is still the imperial court."

...

In the sealed grotto under the ground.

A wine jar full of Yin aura has returned.

Xuan Yinzi caresses this wine jar, so excited that he almost cries.

He’s been waiting for too long!

He originally thought that a wine jar could accumulate enough Yin energy to return in three to five days, but he waited for quite some time before the first wine jar finally returned.

He hugged it tightly and caressed it for a while before taking a deep breath and sucking up all the Yin energy in one gulp. It was like a pot of water being poured on a parched land. Although it could not change much, it could moisten it for a while.

He, who was originally out of energy, had thought about giving up, suspecting that some evil existence was blocking his Massacre Spirit Altar.

Now he has the strength to make more Massacre Spirit Altars!

The first one has already returned, could the second one be far behind?

As long as one Massacre Spirit Altar returns, it will bring him a hundredfold return. With this going on, the day for him to regain his strength and break free is not far off!

Thinking of this, Xuan Yinzi can’t help but laugh gloomily: "Hehehe...cough! Cough...!"

...

At night, Chu Liang came to Jinhua Riverside again.

Although Red Cotton Peak was busy, he could not neglect the main business.

These few days he hadn’t tackled the Wine Jar Demon, and a lot of them had piled up.

It’s just the right time to wipe them out.

Haha!
