Chapter 2307 - 2307 2297 Mysterious Woman

2307: Chapter 2297: Mysterious Woman 2307: Chapter 2297: Mysterious Woman “Master, the young lady has returned.”

As the two were conversing, an old man gently knocked and walked in.

“What?

The young lady has returned?”

Delight surfaced on the young man’s face, as he quickly sidestepped the man before him and strode towards the doorway, following behind the middle-aged man.

His originally handsome face now bore a mix of anger, frustration, and jealousy.

As they exited the room, the sign hanging there read a few bold characters:

Shengdao Business Alliance.

Long Yan’s life had been quite leisurely lately.

Usually, as the Guardian of the Yanmen Commerce Association, he wasn’t overloaded with work, needing only to subdue other commercial associations or solve the problem of formidable rivals.

Of course, there were few experts like Zhang Feng before, mainly those at the strength of God King ninth stage or Half-Step Divine Emperor, usual encounters with ordinary people were a breeze, but they were nothing in front of Long Yan.

Of course, Long Yan had also been studying the changes in his body after using the power of the Dark Sun.

Although the Martial God Array remained the same, Long Yan always felt something wasn’t quite right, but couldn’t quite put his finger on what had changed.

Of course, if he couldn’t figure it out, there was no need for Long Yan to dwell on it, as his own Mystic had also undergone changes.

During the fight with Zhang Feng, Long Yan’s Vermillion Bird Vision behind him turned black, and the originally blazing red flames turned into a dark red hue.

This puzzled Long Yan for quite some time, and even with Yun Huang’s help, he found nothing wrong, so he set it aside for the time being.

The business of the alliance was left to Zhang Tianmen, which kept the elderly man immensely busy, but there was no other choice, considering it involved the entirety of The North.

“Young Master Long, this is a letter sent by Chairman Zhang.”

After knocking on the door, a man dressed like a maid informed from outside.

Upon receiving Long Yan’s permission, he gently opened the door to Long Yan’s room.

“What’s this?”

Long Yan took the letter and began to read, a smile promptly appearing on his face.

Had these people finally become impatient to make a move?

The words in the letter were very simple, merely two characters “Come quickly,” but at first glance, Long Yan understood Zhang Tianmen’s meaning—it seemed the other three commerce associations could no longer hold back.

Within the entire Qin Dynasty, the number of commercial associations could be counted on one’s fingers.

The rapid rise of Yanmen Commerce Association merely touched the cake of the three families.

Now, with its foundations still unsteady and its rapid development, the Yanmen Commerce Association had become the small sheep in everyone’s eyes, seemingly an easy target for all.

“It seems a lesson is indeed necessary.”

Despite the smile on Long Yan’s face, the atmosphere he radiated was terrifying.

However, there was no rush; Long Yan was well aware of Zhang Tianmen’s strength, which could hold up for some time.

He needed to make some preparations.

After whispering a few words into the maid’s ear and seeing her nod in acknowledgment, Long Yan was not anxious.

The Four Treasures of the Study were neatly placed on the table, and Long Yan began to pen a reply to Zhang Tianmen on the paper.

“Hold on!”

Having written just two large characters, Long Yan was satisfied with the cursive script in front of him; it possessed both spirit and form, almost serving as a model among characters.

If asked why he couldn’t write in any other calligraphy style, it was simply because everything Long Yan wrote resembled cursive script.

After placing the written reply into an envelope, Long Yan instructed a maid to send the reply to Zhang Tianmen, while he himself packed his bags and left the city.

Of course, he trusted Zhang Tianmen, which is why Long Yan chose to travel as if he were on a leisurely journey.

Otherwise, with the flying speed of a Divine Emperor Level Expert, he would probably only need a few days to arrive.

Zhang Tianmen was attending a gathering within the Qin Dynasty Commercial Association, one that was set to last about half a year.

Though they were all merchants, they each possessed a bit of strength, and half a year in their eyes was akin to just several days.

But as soon as Long Yan stepped out the door, a pair of sky-blue eyes had already fixed their gaze on his figure, emitting a crisp, cold sound.

“Long Yan, I have finally found you.”

With Long Yan’s sense of perception, he did not feel observed.

There were too many people coming and going, and even if there was a sensation, he could not pinpoint it.

“This time, I must obtain you.”

The cold voice contained a hint of satisfaction.

If one did not see the person, just by this voice alone, one could imagine her to look like an immortal.

But at this moment, this ‘immortal’ was hiding in the bushes, staring intently at Long Yan like a peeping tom.

After leaving the city and heading north for just a few miles, there was an ordinary pub, certainly not a top-tier establishment, just a rest stop for travelers.

Having walked for one day, even with the constitution of a Divine Emperor, Long Yan felt a bit of strain because he typically confined his activities within Ying City.

Long Yan had planned for this journey to be more like a leisurely tour.

Of course, Long Yan was not just out for leisure.

Regarding the Domain he realized when he ascended to the Realm of the Divine Emperor, Long Yan felt there was much to be perfected.

This trip was a good opportunity to refine his Domain, potentially increasing his chances of victory in combat.

Long Yan continued to ponder, causing various degrees of changes in the surrounding True Qi.

However, after testing its power, the teacup on the table in front of him shattered with a pop.

The strength was still far from sufficient for Long Yan, who was not entirely pleased.

In his view, the power would only be acceptable if he could instantaneously reduce the teacup to powder.

Even Long Yan did not know where the deficiency lay.

As for this aspect of cultivation, Yun Huang could not offer much assistance.

The Realm of the Divine Emperor was truly about unlocking the treasures of the human body.

All explorations had to be conducted by Long Yan himself, and as for whether he would be successful or not, it also depended on Long Yan’s own talent.

After an entire night of research, it was only when the sky began to brighten that Long Yan came back to his senses.

He gently pushed open the window; the morning air was still cool.

Although Long Yan, under the effects of the Double Increase from the Realm of the Divine Emperor and the Martial God Array, would not fear the slight cold, he wrapped himself in a piece of clothing and stood by the window, watching the rising sun.

In the past, he had never paid attention to such scenery due to continuous cultivation.

When he reached the Realm he desired, he found that there were higher Realms to achieve; forced to grow stronger, forced to defeat one opponent after another, and now, according to the Nine Suns Cauldron, the ultimate goal was set at ruling between heaven and earth, above the Heaven Dao.

Long Yan truly did not know where the future lay.

“Huff… Huff…”

A set of regular breathing sounds came from above Long Yan’s head, attracting his attention.

The room he was in was on the top level; there shouldn’t have been anyone above him, so why were those breathing sounds coming from there?

This eerie situation made Long Yan cautious.

Standing by the window, with just a slight exertion of force, his body leapt up like a Dapeng spreading its wings, landing on the rooftop.

However, what he saw next made Long Yan freeze in surprise.
