Chapter 2333 - 2333 2323 The Real Hongmen Banquet

2333: Chapter 2323: The Real Hongmen Banquet 2333: Chapter 2323: The Real Hongmen Banquet However, Long Yan keenly noticed that at the banquet, there were two individuals whose eyes were covered by eye masks.

These two people had very strange appearances, and it was very difficult for Long Yan to overlook them, even if he tried not to notice.

One had a guqin placed beside him, while the other had a pipa usually played by women.

This peculiar duo had caught Long Yan’s attention as soon as he entered the hall.

“Let me introduce them, this is Master Gu Wu, and this is Master Lie Sun.”

Lei Mu pointed to the person holding the guqin, saying.

These two looked exactly alike and could only be distinguished by their instruments; the one with the guqin was called Gu Wu, and the one with the pipa was called Lie Sun.

Long Yan’s reason for paying attention to them wasn’t solely because of their odd appearance; it was because both had actually stepped into the Realm of the Divine Emperor.

Long Yan gave a slight nod, acknowledging them, and he didn’t expect that Iron Hand Chamber of Commerce could actually invite two Divine Emperors.

However, the presence of merely two Divine Emperors was still not enough to scare Long Yan.

As for Lei Mu, after seeing Gu Wu and Lie Sun, the tense expression on his face eased considerably.

He glanced at Long Yan subtly, a fierce look flashing in the depths of his eyes.

Today, whatever Long Yan had taken from him, he absolutely would have Long Yan spit it all back out.

Nevertheless, Lei Mu was not in a hurry to make a move.

After all, he had already brought Long Yan to the two.

Even if that foolish big man were to come, it would be of no use.

Today, Long Yan must die here.

Clearly, Long Yan was unaware of Lei Mu’s thoughts.

He was just pondering why Lei Mu could find two Divine Emperors willing to work for him; could it be that being a Divine Emperor wasn’t valuable anymore?

It seems that Lei Mu had promised some benefits in advance.

If half of the Yanmen Commerce Association was the reward, then Long Yan felt that it might indeed attract the membership of two Divine Emperors.

However, Long Yan did not feel the slightest bit nervous; perhaps these two could be the opportunity for his own breakthrough.

Soon enough, Niu Shan had finished bathing and changing his clothes and stood respectfully behind Long Yan.

Of course, those who were sitting in the hall were people of status, and Niu Shan, being merely a bodyguard, of course, was not entitled to a seat.

At the feast, the cups and chips were exchanged; although Long Yan had been trying to gauge the strength of Gu Wu and Lie Sun in the hall through side comments, the two were as if mute, not uttering a single word no matter what Long Yan said.

Instead, it was Lei Mu who kept chatting to Long Yan about all sorts of things.

It seemed that the two were very wary of Long Yan.

Since they couldn’t get any information from asking them, Long Yan simply stopped inquiring.

He estimated that he would find out when they started fighting; indeed, what was to come would still come.

“Brother Long Yan, now your brother here wants to conduct a big business deal and needs Brother Long Yan’s assistance.”

Without waiting for Long Yan’s response, Lei Mu spoke, continuously swirling the wine cup in his hand.

Today’s wine was not cheap, but Lei Mu felt less stingy when he thought about incorporating the average forces of the Yanmen under Long Yan’s command in the future.

“Oh?

Chairman Lei, please do tell.”

Hearing that the real topic had come up, Long Yan put down his wine cup and looked at Lei Mu, prompting him.

“I want to establish the largest commercial association in The North.

I wonder what Brother Long Yan thinks about this.”

If before Lei Mu only harbored ambition, now he was blatantly revealing it.

He wanted the Yanmen Commerce Association to submit to the Iron Hand Chamber of Commerce, to bow down to them.

This somewhat shocked Long Yan.

Originally, Long Yan thought that the Iron Hand Chamber of Commerce would have been satisfied just getting a piece of Yanmen’s benefits, but never expected such audacious and wild ambition; this indeed surprised Long Yan.

“I didn’t expect Chairman Lei to have such grand ambitions.”

Long Yan swirled the wine cup in his hand, his golden pupils locking onto Lei Mu.

He could, of course, see the greed in the man’s eyes, but Lei Mu had indeed picked the wrong opponent.

Relying on two Divine Emperor Level Strong Ones, even if Lei Mu wanted to encroach on the interests of the two big commercial associations, for now, those associations would have no clear way to deal with the Iron Hand Chamber of Commerce.

However, he had brought the fight to Long Yan’s doorstep.

“Now that the Yanmen Commerce Association has become the largest commercial association in The North, why would I have any need to cooperate with the Iron Hand Chamber of Commerce?”

Having drained the wine from his cup in one gulp, Long Yan looked at Lei Mu, actually quite curious as to what Lei Mu would say.

“At the very least, Brother Long’s life should be spared.”

With two Divine Emperors by his side, Lei Mu was brimming with infinite confidence, to put it simply: Lei Mu was floating on cloud nine.

Seeing the current arrogance of Lei Mu, Long Yan gently placed his wine cup on the table and glanced sideways at Lei Mu’s sleazy fat face, simply spitting out a few cold words.

“Are you worthy?”

Upon hearing Long Yan’s words, Gu Wu, who had been sitting on the chair, and Lie Sun next to him, suddenly stood up, with a faint flow of True Qi around their bodies, looking ready to make a move.

Behind Long Yan, Niu Shan did not show any sign of weakness, stepping forward to face the two Divine Emperor Level Strong Ones ahead without a trace of fear, while Lei Mu merely sipped his fine wine lightly.

“Today, Brother Long Yan has taken such a huge advantage of me; do you think I would just let you leave so easily?”

Lei Mu’s gaze now bore a hint of mockery.

In his view, no matter how strong Niu Shan was, he was no match for two Divine Emperors.

Long Yan appeared completely like a lamb for the slaughter before him, so Lei Mu was not worried.

“You son of a…”

Niu Shan was about to step forward, but Long Yan stopped him.

This scene actually amused Long Yan.

It seemed that Lei Mu had not done any homework on him beforehand, so what made him think that two Divine Emperors could easily secure victory over him?

“But honestly, Chairman Lei…”

Long Yan deliberately left his sentence hanging, drawing the gaze of everyone in the room to him before slowly finishing the rest.

“What makes you think that these two birdmen can defeat me?”

Before Lei Mu could respond, Gu Wu could no longer sit still; his cold voice reached Long Yan’s ears.

“Kid, don’t be too arrogant or you’ll easily find yourself dead.”

Having said that, Gu Wu had already taken off the blue cloth covering the Guqin on his back, and an unspeakable pressure bore down on Long Yan like a ferocious snake, unrestrained and directly targeting Long Yan.

However, to Gu Wu’s surprise, Long Yan reacted as if nothing had happened, casually filling his cup with wine again and drinking it down, completely disregarding those before him, which greatly infuriated Gu Wu.

But this didn’t mean that Gu Wu was foolish; the fact that Long Yan could withstand his pressure proved that Long Yan was at least a Divine Emperor Level Strong One, which indeed made Gu Wu hesitate, wary of killing a rat that might destroy something valuable.

Lie Sun on the side, seeing his brother’s hesitant look, was secretly anxious.

Known for his temper, Lie Sun’s fingers brushed the Pipa strings, and in an instant, several Sound Wave-like blades rushed towards Long Yan, splitting all the exquisite dishes and the table into two halves.
