Chapter 466: Next Time, if You Have Something to Say, Just Tell Me (6K6, Too Late to Post First)
The burly bronze lion flew across the sky, and it could easily accommodate hundreds of people.
Shen Yi sat cross-legged on the lion's head, flipping through the booklet compiled by Li Qingfeng.
The three elders of the Chen family and the people of Qinghai Prefecture were all wearing Nanyang deacon robes and standing quietly behind him.
Only Jing Jingsong, who had the highest cultivation, seemed to remember something, and his face was a little uneasy.
It's bad... I was so excited just now that I forgot about other things.
He walked carefully behind Shen Yi: "Jingsong has something to bother the immortal."
"My last name is Shen."
Shen Yi didn't like the so-called immortal title, and looked back: "Go ahead."
Since the other party has returned to the Nanyang Sect, as long as he doesn't borrow anything, everything else is easy to say.
"Senior Shen, it's not a big deal. We have been in Nanyang for many years, and we, the vassals of Nanyang, have been in close contact with them because of our ancestors."
Jing Jingsong smiled awkwardly: "So we have been working for Shuiyue Merchant Alliance. They are doing some business of pawning goods between the major sects, and we are responsible for helping to deliver some valuables. I just forgot about it. I hope Nanyang Xianzong can issue an order to inform them that the deposit received will be returned by Qinghai Prefecture as soon as possible."
In fact, this matter doesn't need to be so troublesome.
Qinghai Prefecture is working for Nanyang Sect, so it can't get away. It's not a breach of contract for no reason. Even Shuiyue Merchant Alliance is a vassal of Nanyang Sect, so there is no need to say hello, and even the deposit doesn't need to be returned.
But Jing Jingsong doesn't want to leave an impression of going back on his word, and he always feels embarrassed, so he wants to ask Shen Yi to help testify.
Looking at Shen Yi, he pondered for a moment.
Jing Jingsong added: "They have a rich background, and the tribute they pay each time is the most among the same forces."
"..."
Shen Yi looked sideways. Does he really look greedy?
He nodded: "Okay."
In fact, the silence just now was not hesitation, but with Shen Yi's current cultivation, he couldn't use the means of the law.
Forget it, there is nothing urgent anyway.
Just go there directly.
If I remember correctly, I did see the name of Shuiyue Merchant Alliance in the previous gilded list.
The size is a whole level larger than the puppet sect.
Thinking of this, Shen Yi pinched the magic formula, mobilized the spirit puppet to turn, and suddenly flew in the direction recorded in the book!
Not long after the lion puppet disappeared.
The calm water surface below suddenly rippled.
Several figures emerged from the water, wearing armor, but using knives and axes to specifically chop off the identity 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.
Several aquatic creatures nodded gently, their eyes full of murderous intent, and then sank back into the water, as if they had never appeared.
...
On the endless ocean, there is a huge floating island.
It is full of gorgeous formations, which makes this floating island more mysterious.
There is an octagonal building on top.
There is an endless stream of people coming and going, and all kinds of treasure ships are parked around the floating island.
Shuiyue Merchant Alliance.
Backed by the Qizi Xianzong, it does business in the entire Nanhong.
At this moment, at the top of the tall building, in a luxuriously furnished room.
The tall and thin man is dressed in plain clothes, with no decorations on his body, only an ordinary string of beads on his wrist.
But those who really know the goods can recognize that this bead is unique to the Dragon Palace.
It may not be too rare in the Dragon Palace.
But when worn on the wrist of a human cultivator, it is enough to prove his wealth and means.
Shuiyue Merchant Alliance, Wen Qiujin.
As long as the money is enough, this person can find ways to get you even the things in the Dragon Palace.
At this moment, Wen Qiujin closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, listening to the whispers of the people around him.
Occasionally, he nodded.
"Alliance leader, this is probably the case. Nanyang Sect is back. I have asked Nanhong Qizi about this matter. It is true. We have indeed been reclassified as vassals of Nanyang Sect. They first appeared in Gui Sect."
"But according to the news we received, the current Nanyang Sect... may still be a little sluggish, which is different from the news released by the Zhao family. I will send someone to investigate carefully for a few days."
"Next time, should we give the filial piety to Tianjian Sect as usual, or..."
Wen Qiujin stretched out his palm and stopped the man's words.
He opened his eyes and said calmly: "Pay two copies, one for each side, and add 50% to the copy of the Tianjian Sect. Pay it in the name of other forces as an apology."
The Wen family is in business, and the biggest taboo is to offend people.
Besides, they rarely need the help of 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.
In the eyes of outsiders, the seven sons are one.
"I understand."
The guard bowed and said yes. He was about to leave the room, but suddenly froze and took out the jade slip.
After a while, he looked up in astonishment and said: "The whistle sent a message and saw the Green Lion Spirit Puppet of the Puppet Sect coming towards us. It is likely to be the deacon of the Nanyang Sect."
"This is too hasty!"
The Shuiyue Business Alliance had just been crossed over, and this group of people couldn't wait to rush over to see this piece of fat meat. You know, filial piety has just been paid once.
"..."
Wen Qiujin smiled helplessly, then slowly stood up and patted his clothes.
His eyes were calm, and he said softly, "Arrange someone to welcome them."
Even if it's the Nanyang Immortal Sect, they still have to follow the rules.
It's not that Shuiyue Merchant Alliance won't let us eat this piece of meat, but we can't eat it as we want.
If the seven sects come back and forth to collect tributes.
In a few years, the huge family business of the Wen family will be eaten up by the seven sons of Nanhong.
Wen Qiujin walked slowly downstairs.
As the guards beside him picked up the jade slips, a group of elegant female cultivators soon gathered in front of the octagonal building, and then soared into the sky and stood on both sides.
They all took out jade flutes.
Soon, red clouds filled the air, and a peaceful feeling enveloped the place.
As the fairy music played.
A majestic bronze lion puppet happened to appear in the clouds.
Wen Qiujin saluted without any airs, followed by a full 18 guards: "Welcome Nanyang Xianzong to Shuiyue Merchant Alliance! Qiujin failed to welcome you from afar, and I hope the immortal will atone for my sins."
In an instant, all the cultivators in the merchant alliance looked up at the bronze lion puppet in astonishment.
It was such a grand ceremony to have the leader of Shuiyue Business Alliance, Wen, personally welcome them... How come Nanyang Xianzong didn't have much impression?
"..."
The Chen family and the Qinghai Prefecture cultivators had never been treated like this before.
Looking at the Nanyang deacon robes on their bodies, they all looked up and straightened their heads.
Shen Yi sat upright in the lion puppet.
His expression was calm.
It seemed that the autumn wind would not hit him today.
Since the other party knew the whereabouts of them, they must be well-informed. If they really wanted to give something, they would not have done it so loudly and offended the other Nanhong Seven Sons.
But it didn't matter.
The other party's attitude at least showed the meaning of submission and willingness to abide by the rules.
Thinking of this, Shen Yi urged the spirit puppet and flew directly onto the floating island.
"Please go up to the Immortal Tower."
Wen Qiujin landed again, and amid the sound of the flutes of many female cultivators, he personally led the way for the Nanhong deacons: "Give Qiujin a chance to show his appreciation."
The Shuiyue Merchant Alliance was very efficient.
From the time the news was received to the time the Green Lion Spirit Puppet landed, a table of delicacies and wine had been prepared.
"Thank you."
Shen Yi nodded slightly. Since he couldn't beat Qiu Feng, he was not very interested.
He just came to talk about the affairs of Qinghai Prefecture.
But since the other party was so polite, it was okay to stay for a meal.
"The Immortal is polite, and it's what Qiujin should do."
Wen Qiujin was dressed in plain clothes, respectful but not mercenary. While leading everyone upstairs to take their seats, he could tell the status of this group of people at a glance.
He took Shen Yi to the main seat without showing any intention.
He then called a group of female cultivators to pour wine and pick up dishes for everyone.
Although Shen Yi was not used to such treatment, he didn't say much.
Several guards stood behind Wen Qiujin with their hands behind their backs.
His eyes swept through the crowd quietly, recording the information secretly.
The leader was at the fourth level of Return to Void, while the old man with the highest cultivation level was at the sixth level, and the rest were at the fifth or fourth level.
This was in line with the style of the Immortal Sect's deacons on patrol.
Except for the young man, the others seemed a little older... and they looked familiar, and the more they looked, the more they looked like people from Qinghai Prefecture.
Wen Qiujin obviously saw the identities of the few people, but did not point them out. He raised his glass to Shen Yi: "I heard that the Immortal passed by Qinghai Prefecture, and the Shuiyue Merchant Alliance had a lot of dealings with them before, but compared to our small business, the Immortal Sect's business is more important."
Shen Yi raised his glass in response and nodded his chin lightly.
Facing such things that he was not good at, he would still bring Li Qingfeng with him next time.
But the other party was obviously sharp-minded, which saved a lot of trouble.
While the wine was flowing.
A guard suddenly walked to Wen Qiujin and said in a voice transmission: "Alliance leader, our ship was sunk. The water tribe did it. I don't know their identity."
"..."
Wen Qiujin pondered for a moment, glanced at Shen Yi, and did not disturb him.
This was the first time that Nanyang Sect came to Shuiyue Business Alliance. Judging from the cultivation of these people, they were obviously not prepared to resist.
There was no need to embarrass Nanyang Sect.
He also replied in a voice transmission: "Send a letter to ask the reason and whether they were offended unintentionally. Don't be less polite. Don't make a big fuss today."
After that, Wen Qiujin forced a smile again and toasted Shen Yi again.
"If the immortal is interested, why not let Qiujin take you to visit Shuiyue Business Alliance. After all, we haven't had contact for many years, so it's inevitable that we are a little alienated."
He didn't think about paying another tribute today, but it was also necessary to let Nanyang Sect understand the current size of Shuiyue Business Alliance and know how much to accept, so as to avoid a gap in the future.
"Okay."
Shen Yi also wanted to take this opportunity to learn more about the outside world.
At the same time.
In the busiest place on the floating island.
An old man was arguing with someone with saliva flying: "A piece of broken land, you want to charge me this amount? Is there shit in your head?!"
"Master Zhang, please be polite. We are all from 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 of extraordinary status.
The other party still had a newly healed wound on his face.
The whole body was weak.
This kind of monk who was fleeing must be extremely urgent. If you miss this opportunity, you will be struck by lightning.
"Alas."
Xiao Yuanlin looked at Master 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. 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 an ink shirt.
"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 the last separation, the most annoying 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 moving 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 down 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-and-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 and just pointed at 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 lacked everything except space.
"Ouch."
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. He 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 nothing more than a trivial 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's side 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, he slowly clenched his palms in his sleeves.
He pondered for a moment and 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 unwillingness to die.
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 believed 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 in 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.
There is no way that the other party came over to sit for a while out of nowhere.
Don't get into 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 reason to argue.
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 voice transmission, and 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.
How could there be no movement when it comes to matters related to the late stage of returning to the void? He just put on this posture.
As if he saw his doubts.
The guard glared at everyone in Nanyang Sect, and then took out a letter with sloppy handwriting from his sleeve.
There was no signature on the letter, only a line of blood words.
"Hand over Shen Yi, otherwise there will be no Shuiyue Merchant Alliance in Nanhong."
After reading the letter.
Wen Qiujin closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he was a little more angry.
He looked at the young man next to him again: "I don't remember there is such a person in the Merchant Alliance. May I ask the immortal, do you know Shen Yi?"
Merchants are most afraid of trouble, but they don't like to suffer losses.
Dare to be so presumptuous in the territory of the Seven Sons of Nanhong, either there is a blood feud, or the strength is overwhelming.
No matter which kind of trouble it is, it is not something that Shuiyue Merchant Alliance should bear.
"I know him."
Shen Yi nodded and turned to the edge of the floating island.
After several Nanyang Sect deacons were stunned, they all said: "Senior Shen, don't be impulsive!"
They were not rookies.
Although not as comprehensive as Wen Qiujin thought, they could guess a thing or two.
On this island, there is still a formation to protect it. Notifying the sect to come to help is the best choice. There is no need to fight for the moment.
Even if the Dragon Palace came in person, could it not give Nanyang Sect a little face?
"Senior Shen?"
Wen Qiujin had been calling him the immortal, and it was not until now that he realized that the person mentioned in the letter was the young man in front of him.
So the other party really concealed the news and came here for refuge?
He suppressed his anger and regained his reason: "Qiujin just said too much. Please inform the seven sons of Nanhong to send people to help. The formation of Shuiyue Merchant Alliance can still hold for a while. If they can break it, they will not just shout outside."
Where is the help.
The strongest people in Nanyang Sect, except for the otaku who turned into wood, are all here.
Surrounded by the crowd, Shen Yi slowly left the octagonal building.
He walked to the edge of the floating island and looked down at the waves.
Since leaving the treasure land of Nanyang, if there is really a life-and-death feud that has not been resolved, there is actually only one force left.
It's just that where the other party got the information from, this matter is very interesting.
With the appearance of Shen Yi.
Wen Qiujin followed closely and also looked at the ocean.
I don't know if he noticed something.
His expression suddenly changed, and he notified the guards with a jade slip. The next moment, a thick light curtain enveloped the entire floating island.
Another six figures came out together, suspended above the floating island, looking forward with a solemn face.
Almost at the same time.
Huge waves suddenly rose on the water surface, and when the waves dispersed.
A full twelve figures appeared quietly.
They were all wearing armor, covered with traces of knife and axe, without leaving even a little thing to prove their identity.
They were completely different from ordinary aquatic creatures.
They didn't bring even a single soldier to show off their power.
They had cold eyes and came only for killing.
The lowest level of cultivation among them was at the sixth level of Return to Void, and that only accounted for half of them.
The rest were all great water monsters at the seventh level of Return to Void.
One of the fish monsters with horns grabbed a cultivator's neck with an indifferent look, stepped on the waves, and faced everyone: "Hand over Shen Yi, and this man can live."
"..."
Wen Qiujin has always been known for his calmness, but at this moment, he couldn't help but pinch his five fingers and make a crackling sound.
As a vassal of the Seven Sons of Nanhong, when had he ever suffered such injustice?
But he couldn't really push the immortal sect cultivator out. If he committed such a treasonous act, the Shuiyue Merchant Alliance would be really finished.
"Senior Shen, go back and discuss it again."
He took a few deep breaths, and his voice was a little colder. If someone really knew the leader of the Wen Alliance, they would be able to see that he had really endured to the limit.
Watching the life and death of the worshiper, he wanted to stabilize the minds of other worshipers, and he didn't know how much it would cost.
Before he finished speaking.
He suddenly heard the roar of a ferocious beast.
A huge shadow suddenly appeared on the surface of the ocean.
A huge object fell from the sky.
It smashed the waves dozens of feet high!
The fish monster of the aquatic tribe that had spoken earlier disappeared.
"..."
The remaining aquatic creatures had not yet reacted.
Suddenly, they saw a shadow passing through the sky and falling towards the floating island.
In an instant.
The waves rolled again, and a suffocating sense of oppression burst out from below.
A strong and majestic figure slowly emerged from the water.
The whole body was like green jade.
It looked like a ferocious rhino monster.
It had a grim smile, and its five fingers tightly clasped the neck of the fish monster. The armor on the other party had already shattered, and it could only struggle madly with its limbs.
But no matter how the fish demon struggled, it was completely unable to shake the jade palm.
Under the infusion of the demon's origin, it suffered more than 200,000 years of torture.
Reappearing in the world for the first time.
The jade rhino demon stared at the many demons in front of it with sneer.
After receiving the command of the master's soul.
It opened its mouth, revealing its cold giant teeth, and exerted force with five fingers.
It crushed the fish demon's head into a pile of blood.
The powerful aura comparable to the eighth level of returning to the void made the surroundings lose their voices instantly and fell into a dead silence.
"Next time there is something similar."
Shen Yi looked back at Wen Qiujin and said lightly: "You can say it directly."
It's not every time that you have such a lucky chance to save someone.
"They... they are..."
Hearing this, Wen Qiujin was a little surprised. Did he misunderstand?
It was indeed not a deliberate act of this immortal, but just a coincidence?
And why would this rhinoceros demon fight for the Immortal Sect?
No.
Wen Qiujin looked closely and found something strange.
This is not a demon at all, it is clearly a powerful spirit puppet. Whether it is the lifelike appearance or the difference in realm, it is far beyond the so-called puppet sect!
It's just like a living thing.
What a miraculous work of nature!
"..."
Shen Yi retracted his gaze and looked at the group of demons again.
Coincidentally, he didn't want to reveal the other party's identity.
After all, with his current foundation, he couldn't fight against the Dragon Palace.
There should be more than these coming today.
The old dragon fish has not shown up yet.
