Mu Hanyan was a little puzzled. If this guy wanted to seize the Sword Heart Soul Washing Pool, why not just attack directly? Why resort to such tricks? But after a moment's thought, she vaguely understood.
Because Ye Lanxuan had met him once before, although he coveted the Sword Heart Soul Cleansing Pool, he couldn't take it by force. A covert move might reveal his true intentions, and even if he didn't, it would be easy for Ye Lanxuan to track him down. After all, the Holy Court had its own rules, and the various countries on the continent had their own rules. Furthermore, the Holy Court and the other countries were now at odds with each other, so with his status, he couldn't act recklessly.
So he simply took advantage of the opportunity when the strange beasts in Fangjia Town attacked the city and started to extort money openly.
Fortunately, Patriarch Fang kept his duty as a retainer and resisted the pressure and did not agree, otherwise he would have gotten away with it.
"Mu Hanyan, I won't waste any more time. Now that strange beasts are attacking Fangjia Town, you can't defend it with your strength. Once the strange beasts break into the town, not only will the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce and the Fang family be hard to survive, but all the chambers of commerce you invited will also be buried with them. As the owner of the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce and the patriarch of the Fang family, since you are unable to protect their safety, why bother to defend that broken pond?" Tan Taixuan said with a faint smile. It seemed that he should have known about Mu Hanyan's disguise as a man a long time ago, and he was not surprised at all when he called her by her name.
Mu Hanyan guessed correctly. He was indeed coming for the Sword Heart Soul Cleansing Pool. Looking at his smug look, it was obvious that he had Mu Hanyan in his grasp.
"If I can't hold it, can you?" Mu Hanyan asked calmly.
Tan Taixuan snorted coldly and released an invisible pressure. Behind him, the more than ten young men in sword robes also released pressure and displayed their strength.
There were sounds of people sucking in their breaths of cold air all around. The merchants had seen them fighting with the strange beasts before, but after all, they were still far away and could not see their strength clearly. It was not until they took the initiative to show it that they could see it clearly.
Including Tan Taixuan, there were three ninth-rank sword masters and seven eighth-rank sword masters! With such strength and age, even among the eight great families in the capital, they would all be considered geniuses. What's more, there weren't just one such genius, but ten.
Mu Hanyan, Hua Yue, and the others were also surprised. Ninth-level Sword Master? The last time they saw him, he was a seventh-level Sword Master. It turned out he had already reached the ninth level. No wonder he was so confident. But what they didn't know was that with such strength, he actually dared to speak so arrogantly in front of Mu Hanyan. Wasn't that just asking for trouble?
Never mind Mu Hanyan's master swordsmanship, even Hua Yue Zirong and Jiang Yuzhe weren't much worse than him. What right did he have to threaten Mu Hanyan? Was this guy out of his mind? Wow, what a joke!
"Mu Hanyan, have you seen our strength? Although you have the cultivation level of a sixth-level swordsman, it is impossible for you to stop those strange beasts. Only we can save the lives of your men and these chamber of commerce managers who have come from afar to support the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce." Tan Taixuan also saw the surprise on the faces of Mu Hanyan and others, but he had no idea that they were surprised at his stupidity. He thought they were deeply shocked by his strength, and became even more proud, shaking his head and talking.
"Miss Mu, even if you don't consider us, you should consider the people under you. In my opinion, you should agree to their conditions." An old and steady Chamber of Commerce manager could no longer remain calm and advised earnestly.
"Yes, Miss Mu, although it is not difficult to break out of the siege with your strength, if our subordinates and we all die in Fangjia Town, it will be extremely detrimental to the reputation of you and the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce. You should agree to his conditions." Other chamber of commerce managers also advised, but they didn't know what the broken pond that Tan Taixuan was talking about. However, their own lives were at stake, so they didn't care about so many things.
"Mu Hanyan, we are the guests invited by the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce. We have tried our best to help you defend Fangjia Town these days. You must not ignore our lives. Today you have to agree whether you want to or not, otherwise..." Park Donghan was so polite and threatened in a stern voice.
"What else?" Mu Hanyan raised her eyebrows and interrupted him.
Although she was grateful for the righteous deeds of these chambers of commerce, Mu Hanyan could not bear to see him being arrogant and threatening her again and again.
As her cultivation level improved, Mu Hanyan became more restrained, but when she got angry, she naturally exuded a stern aura. Park Donghan was startled and could no longer utter the threats.
"I said, I will definitely ensure your safety, you don't have to worry." Mu Hanyan slowed down her tone and spoke to the chamber of commerce managers.
"Guarantee, just based on your strength as a sixth-level swordsman?" Park Donghan sneered sarcastically.
"Mu Hanyan, are you really unwilling to agree to our conditions?" Seeing that Mu Hanyan had no intention of compromising at all, Tan Taixuan's face darkened.
"Mr. Tan Tai, please don't worry about the affairs of Fangjia Town. If you want to buy any rare flowers, plants, or treasures, just go to the Chamber of Commerce. If you want to leave, please feel free to do so." Mu Hanyan said lightly.
"Miss Mu, you can't just do it on your own."
"Miss Mu, even if you don't think about us, you should think about the unarmed old, young, women and children in the Fang family." Seeing Mu Hanyan so determined, the chamber of commerce managers were all panicked and began to persuade her.
"Hmph, anyway, she has the strength of a sixth-level swordsman. Even if she can't defeat us, she can escape. Why would she care about our life or death?" Park Donghan said sarcastically again.
"Ms. Mu, how could you do this? You are the eldest grandson of the head of the Mu family, how can you be so ungrateful and ungrateful!" After hearing what Park Donghan said, the faces of the other chamber of commerce managers changed and they questioned angrily.
"Oh no, my lord, master of the family, those strange beasts are coming again." At this moment, a member of the Fang family ran into the conference room in panic.
"How many are there this time?" Patriarch Fang asked as his expression changed slightly.
"There are more of them this time than any other time before, several thousand in total, led by the most powerful beasts. Master, what should we do?" When he said this, the young man from the Fang family had a look of fear on his face, and there was even a cry in his voice.
Outside, there was also a panic, with the shouts of the crowd and the noisy footsteps of people running around.
"Let's go and take a look." Mu Hanyan didn't have time to pay attention to Park Donghan and others. She walked out first, and Hua Yue and others followed closely behind.
"Hmph, what's there to see? Do you think if you look at it a few times, the beast will automatically retreat?" Park Donghan snorted, but he still followed him out. Other Chamber of Commerce officials also rushed out. It must be said that these merchants are ordinary people who travel all over the country. Although they are not strong, they are very brave.
