Outside the Willow Boundary, the hovering fairy boat welcomed a guest.
The visitor was none other than Liu Pingjiang, the patriarch of the Liu family.
When he landed, Ye Zhenglong, the head of the Ye family, was already waiting there.
"Fellow Daoist Pingjiang, welcome, welcome!"
"Fellow Daoist Zhenglong, you're too kind!"
Liu Pingjiang cupped his hands in a fist salute, a slight smile appearing on his tense face.
Ye Zhenglong did a good job by waiting outside; at least he gave him a lot of face.
"please!"
Ye Zhenglong pushed open the door and led Liu Pingjiang into the cave.
hiss--
When Liu Pingjiang saw the people in the room clearly, he couldn't help but gasp.
This lineup... is just too terrifying!
Before he came, he had considered that the Ye family had powerful backers.
The person originally envisioned did indeed appear in the cave.
But it is clear that these people are not the masterminds behind the scenes.
That young man, who looked to be no more than twenty years old, was the real mastermind.
Wan Gunian, Vice President of Wanzang Chamber of Commerce, one of the four main chambers of the business alliance.
Liu Pingjiang once saw him from afar at a business alliance conference.
Even Liu Pingjiang, who was at the eighth level of the Golden Immortal realm, could only get close to Wan Gu Nian by offering him a toast.
Liu Pingjiang, disregarding any pretense of modesty, quickly stepped forward and bowed, "Liu Pingjiang greets Chairman Gu Nian!"
"Have some tea!"
"Thank you very much, President Gu Nian!"
Liu Pingjiang quickly drank the tea in one gulp.
"Fellow Daoist Pingjiang, please tell me the current situation of the Liu family!"
Ye Zhenglong stepped forward to guide them.
Liu Pingjiang dared not delay and quickly revealed all the information about the Liu family, "Two months ago, after the Heavenly Palace Ninth Heaven that Liu Shen and Liu Ruyan invited returned, it began its seclusion..."
During this period of time, neither Liu Shen nor he has shown any sign of appearing...
Liu Ruyan seems to have a trump card, as she has never arranged for her clansmen to evacuate...
However, something is strange: she doesn't seem to have done anything at all...
The trump card?
Will it happen?
I hadn't thought about this problem before, even after all these years.
It wasn't that he underestimated the Liu family, but rather that he had confidence in his own side.
Even at the peak of Liu Shen's career, he was confident he could win.
Can external variables offset the influence of Liu Shen?
"His trump card? What trump card could he possibly have?"
The Rhinoceros King scoffed, “It’s nothing more than that martial artist hiding some of his strength, but no matter how well he hides it, how strong can he be?”
In the Nine Heavens of Heaven, the ultimate combat power is only that of someone like Liu Shen at her peak.
Even if it were Liu Shen at her peak, I'm confident I could stop her.
With fellow Daoists present, and with Guild Master Wan here, are you really worried about an outsider?
"The Rhinoceros King must be guarded against."
After some deliberation, the Crane Ancestor said, "Although the details of the battle in Tongcheng are unclear, the fact that only one of the opposing side, Liu Shujian, died can explain something."
"I think the exact opposite!"
The Rhinoceros King interrupted, "Killing Qin Sanlong and Ye Hua both required Liu Shujian to pay with his life. How strong could the other side be?"
After the Rhinoceros King and the Crane Ancestor expressed their opinions, the others did not rush to express their opinions, but instead looked at Wan Gu Nian.
After a moment's thought, Wan Gu Nian slowly said, "Regardless of whether Liu Ru Yan has any backup plans, my opinion is that we should not take any unconventional actions."
According to the original plan, the attack would be launched at the Willow Leaf Chamber of Commerce conference four months later, electing Fellow Daoist Zheng Long as the head manager, thus rightfully taking control of the Willow Leaf Chamber of Commerce.
Upon hearing this, Liu Pingjiang instantly grasped the key point.
It's perfectly legitimate!
Isn't that simple?
"President Wan, there's no need for such trouble, nor is it necessary to wait four months."
To take control of the Willow Leaf Chamber of Commerce, all that is needed is to remove Liu Ruyan from her position as head of the Liu family.
"As long as I become the head of the Liu family, the Willow Leaf Chamber of Commerce will naturally be in your hands."
When it comes to personal gain, there's no such thing as friendship.
Although Ye Zhenglong recruited him, Liu Pingjiang also wanted to secure more benefits for himself.
Instead of waiting four months for Ye Zhenglong to take over, wouldn't it be better for him to take over himself?
All Wan Gu Nian wanted was an obedient Willow Leaf Merchant Guild.
Ye Zhenglong's smile was somewhat stiff.
I was careless. That old bastard Liu Pingjiang really has no bottom line!
To climb the ladder, they actually came up with such a tactic.
Isn't he afraid that the family will fall apart and repeat the same mistakes in the future?
"That makes sense!"
Apart from Ye Zhenglong, everyone else agreed.
"inappropriate!"
Wan Gu Nian shook his head slightly and sighed, "The whole plan was devised by Clan Chief Ye, and I also agreed to let him take charge of the Willow Leaf Chamber of Commerce."
If the entire plan is followed, the overall structure of the Willow Leaf Chamber of Commerce will remain unchanged.
If word gets out, what will the other members of the business alliance think?
How could I, in my eternal reign, be the kind of person who abandons those who have served their purpose?
"Chairman Wan, how about this?"
Once I become the head of the Liu family, I will immediately push for the Liuye Chamber of Commerce to initiate the dual-leadership issue.
"At that time, it wouldn't be impossible for me and Fellow Daoist Ye Zhenglong to both serve as head managers!"
Liu Pingjiang didn't mince words and made concessions directly.
Without waiting for Wan Gu Nian to speak, Ye Zheng Long was the first to stand up and agree, "I agree with Fellow Daoist Liu's proposal."
"Wait, I have a question."
The Rhinoceros King interjected, "I have no objection to the Willow Leaf Merchant Guild retaining its power, but you must share the treasures in the treasury!"
"no problem!"
Liu Pingjiang and Ye Zhenglong spoke at the same time.
"I am deeply grateful for the help of all my fellow Daoists."
In the future, when I am the master of all treasures, I will never forget your kindness!
Wan Gu Nian rose with a sense of triumph, realizing what it meant for the heavens and earth to lend their support when the time was right.
He didn't have to do anything; his subordinates arranged everything for him.
This feeling is the will of Heaven, something mysterious and unseen.
And he will also gain the crucial vote from the Willow Leaf Chamber of Commerce.
......
The ancestral home of the Liu family, within a secret realm.
The chaotic energy, so dense it was almost overwhelming, coalesced into a vast black sea.
At the center of the ocean, tentacles stretch out.
At the center of these converging tentacles, a person sat cross-legged.
Suddenly, Li Fan opened his eyes. "Senior Liu Shen, I'm about to begin!"
"Do it with confidence!"
Liu Shen's voice was full of confidence.
Li Fan didn't waste any more time and immediately began his breakthrough.
Yes!
breakthrough.
There were no frills, nor any further elaboration.
He is ascending towards the realm of the Mother Spirit.
He Wu said that a breakthrough requires primordial chaos energy, while the Eight-Armed Rock Demon said that a breakthrough requires a chaotic artifact.
But for Li Fan, these warnings were all lessons learned from his predecessors.
The path of spiritual practice he is about to take is one without any taboos.
What does it mean to have no taboos? This is what it means to have no taboos!
The evil thoughts contained within the chaotic energy seemed to be released instantly.
The madness emanating from Li Fan was like opening Pandora's box.
The evil thoughts that were released surged toward him like a tide.
The chaotic will of devouring, assimilating, and twisting began to slowly consume Li Fan's flesh and blood, as well as the soul within it.
