Li Fan's appearance completely disrupted the balance.
A being that can absorb chaotic energy and is no different from a normal person contains immeasurable potential.
Even if it were simply kept as a magical artifact for absorbing chaotic energy from the human body, it would still be of considerable value to those dominant forces.
Moreover, many ancient battlefields in the Chaotic Ancient Domain are shrouded in chaotic energy.
If we take Li Fan in to explore, the rewards will be terrifying.
If the Liu family had been a little more ruthless and simply handed Li Fan over, they could have easily risen to become one of the main factions based on this achievement.
Even if the Liu family is not strong enough, the other four major associations of the business alliance will do their best to help the Liu family gain a foothold.
Moreover, if any treasures can be obtained from the ruins, the Liu family will definitely get a share of the spoils.
Even the opportunity to break through to the Great Luo realm will be given priority to the Liu family.
The reason, of course, is that Li Fan is of too great value.
Even Liu Shen felt a fleeting ripple in her heart.
But she quickly calmed down.
High returns mean high risks.
The Liu family cannot afford to take this risk.
Liu Ruyan said, "Don't worry, Goddess Liu, even Rulong doesn't know about this!"
"That's excellent!"
Liu Shen nodded, then looked at Li Fan and said, "Fellow Daoist Li Fan, please!"
......
Deep in the starry sky, a celestial ship hovers.
The Rhinoceros King landed on the top, pushed open the pavilion door, and found himself in a hidden paradise.
Within the grotto, towering mountains, flowing water, and ethereal clouds drift by.
There were more than ten people, some sitting and some standing, each in a different posture.
Without exception, these people all appeared to have extraordinary bearing.
One of them was none other than Ye Zhenglong, the head of the Ye family.
Despite being the second-in-command of the Willow Leaf Chamber of Commerce, the head of the Ye family, and a Golden Immortal at the eighth level, his status among the crowd was only slightly above average.
Upon seeing the Rhinoceros King appear, Ye Zhenglong quickly stood up to greet him, "Fellow Daoist Rhinoceros King, how is the situation?"
"Liu Ruyan is back, and she's accompanied by a martial artist at the ninth level of the Heavenly Palace!"
The Rhinoceros King walked straight ahead.
Ye Zhenglong continued, "How strong is that person?"
"He's a cut weaker than me!"
The Rhinoceros King spoke with great confidence, and of course, he had the confidence to back it up.
As a ruthless bandit roaming the galaxy, it fears no one below the Great Luo except for the Willow God.
What outsiders don't know is that it once fought against the Lord of the Dead Sea, one of the seven leaders of the anti-king alliance.
A narrow victory by half a move!
The reason it hasn't been publicized over the years isn't because it's low-key, but because it doesn't want to get into trouble.
The Lord of the Dead Sea is not scary, but seven beings at the level of the Lord of the Dead Sea are somewhat terrifying.
Moreover, the area where I am active is too close to the other side, and if I am not careful, the other side could really attack.
With that, the Rhinoceros King sat down.
Its position is almost at the very front.
Sitting opposite it was an elderly man with white hair and a youthful face.
Upon seeing the Rhinoceros King take his seat, the old man nodded slightly in greeting.
The Crane Ancestor, a Golden Immortal of the Ninth Heaven, possessed extremely profound cultivation at this level.
Of all those present, only he was able to exchange blows with the Rhinoceros King.
Although he is not a match for her, he can still be considered a top expert in this realm.
Even if he is not as good as the Lord of the Dead Sea, he is not much worse.
The Rhinoceros King also acknowledged the strength of the Crane Ancestor.
After giving a brief response to the Crane Ancestor, the Rhinoceros King quickly turned his gaze to the person at the head of the table.
Eternal Age!
The third son of Wan Shiping, the Supreme Elder of the Wanzang Chamber of Commerce, one of the four major chambers of the Chamber of Commerce.
His cultivation is profound, almost on par with the likes of the Immortal Crane Ancestor, and he is currently a hot candidate for the presidency of the Myriad Treasures Chamber of Commerce.
It was because of his intervention that the Rhinoceros King came to lend a hand.
Otherwise, the Ye family alone wouldn't be able to persuade him to come.
At the very head of the table, Wan Gu Nian, who sat upright, waved his sleeve.
A cup of tea flew to the Rhinoceros King's side.
Wan Gu Nian looked to be no more than twenty years old, with the appearance of a noble young master of the world.
But his every move and word gives people a sense of unfathomable depth.
Even though the Rhinoceros King had absolutely no interest in drinking tea, it still picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp, all while maintaining a professional demeanor.
"Excellent tea!"
The Rhinoceros King is too eager to improve.
The longer one stays in the ninth level of the Golden Immortal realm, the stronger one becomes, and the clearer one's distance from the Great Luo Immortal becomes.
That state of being is like the moon reflected in water.
At first glance, it seems so close, but when you try to reach out and grasp it, it's just a dream.
Even someone as powerful as Liu Shen collapsed on the eve of his ascension to heaven.
How could it dare to try so easily?
This assistance is for financial gain.
But at its core, it still wants to befriend Wan Gu Nian.
The four main associations of the business alliance possess great opportunities.
Even if the chance is slim, it's still better than having no hope at all.
Wan Gu Nian was well aware of the Rhinoceros King's thoughts.
With a smile, he asked, "Did the Willow Goddess appear?"
"Part of its true nature has manifested, and its power is beyond doubt."
However, it still carried a strong aura of lightning tribulation.
It has not weakened compared to before.
The Rhinoceros King recounted every detail he had seen and felt, down to the smallest detail.
Upon hearing this, Wan Gu Nian smiled slightly.
The fact that his injuries haven't fully healed is a good thing for him.
“Fellow Daoist Gu Nian, Liu Ruyan has now returned, and none of the important figures of the Liu family are outside.”
Ye Zhenglong suggested, "We should take advantage of Liu Shen's still-recovering state and seize the Liu family in one fell swoop."
He was in a hurry, unlike others.
Of course, he was indeed in a hurry.
Leaving aside the Liu family, the Ye family is now at its weakest point in ten thousand years.
With the passing of Patriarch Ye Hua, the Ye family no longer has any experts at the ninth level of the Golden Immortal realm.
This matter is very dangerous in the Chaotic Ancient Domain.
He desperately needs to take over the Willow Leaf Chamber of Commerce and become its chairman.
Only in this way can the Ye family have a chance to continue to stand firm.
If this drags on, regardless of whether the Liu family can survive, the Ye family is very likely to not.
"No!"
Wan Gu Nian shook his head slightly and explained, "The Merchant Alliance has its own rules."
Since the Liu family has done nothing wrong, they should not be criticized harshly, nor should they be suppressed by force.
To take over the Willow Leaf Chamber of Commerce, we need to take a different approach.
Six months later, at the Willow Leaf Chamber of Commerce's management meeting, you will initiate the discussion on replacing the head manager.
I will step in and handle the compliance of this meeting.
You have six months to win the support of more than half of the shopkeepers.
Is everything alright?
"no problem!"
Ye Zhenglong nodded repeatedly.
With Wan Gu Nian around, if he couldn't handle those shopkeepers, he wouldn't need to plot to seize the Willow Leaf Chamber of Commerce.
Ye Zhenglong asked, "Fellow Daoist Gu Nian, what if the Liu family refuses to acknowledge us then?"
"If they don't acknowledge it, then it's even simpler!"
Wan Gu Nian replied calmly, "The injured Willow Goddess, plus a mid-to-high-level Heavenly Palace warrior, is nothing to worry about!"
"Fellow Daoist Gu Nian, to prevent any unforeseen events, I have a plan!"
"Tell me about it!"
"The Willow God was born in the Willow Realm, and its roots are spread all over the world."
To prevent it from recovering, we can invest heavily in discarded Chaos-avoiding artifacts.
This way, there will be absolutely no chance of anything going wrong!
