On the one hand, he was bothered by the Chamber of Commerce interfering in their affairs.
On the other hand, they were also bothered by the stinginess of the desert people, who wouldn't even give them a penny of benefit despite their efforts in helping them.
Caught in this dilemma.
This gave Ren Pingsheng an opportunity to have the Chamber of Commerce send people south.
Their power was taken away.
It seems that for a long time to come, they will have no choice but to follow the orders of the Chamber of Commerce.
A high-ranking official, stripped of his power without any consultation—who wouldn't be angry?
A chess piece... truly a chess piece...
Chen Chizhang's face darkened; he felt angry, but dared not show it.
What would desert people do?
The Chamber of Commerce has now intervened.
As Grand Secretaries, they dared not say anything, their power was hollowed out, and they had to listen to Yin Xuan in everything.
Qin Che is a superhuman; he has power, but can he really resist the Chamber of Commerce?
The Chamber of Commerce has far too many powerful and extraordinary individuals in its hands.
A simple trip south would be enough to leave Leopard Court in a sorry state.
Chen Chizhang and Jiang Beilu exchanged a glance.
The two decided at almost the same time to tell Qin Che about it secretly.
We must not allow the Chamber of Commerce to damage the relationship between the South China Sea and the desert.
The chamber of commerce is gone, leaving behind a mess that they will have to clean up. Damaged relationships are hard to repair.
For the long term, telling Qin Che about the situation would leave some goodwill and also shift the blame to the Chamber of Commerce.
Thus, regardless of the outcome,
Even if Qin Che dies at the hands of the Chamber of Commerce and the Leopard Court technology is stolen, they cannot blame the people of the South China Sea.
In the wasteland, technology is invaluable.
The merchants want to monopolize the legacy of the old world.
But it's not that simple...
Qin Che received a call from the South China Sea the next day.
Chen Chizhang sent a trusted confidant to see the King of Qin and told Qin Che the whole story of the Chamber of Commerce's purpose.
"I see……"
Qin Che narrowed his eyes. Although he had expected it, hearing it with his own ears still gave him a different feeling.
Sa Fanyin laughed from the side, "These elders are actually giving us face."
"Not necessarily. They might just want to maintain a good relationship. If the Chamber of Commerce achieves its goal, it will only leave behind a mess for the elders to clean up. They might not want to clean up the mess for the Chamber of Commerce, so they're trying to curry favor with us."
“They’re all pawns, all pitiful,” Savanyin sighed.
Qin Che said, "The Chamber of Commerce wants to restart the project's resources. Now is the time. They might resort to force. After all, the Chamber of Commerce has never taken Leopard Court seriously."
"Wouldn't we be in great danger?"
Qin Che pinched his wife's cheek and said, "You've forgotten again. I am already a Master. Unless the Mecha Pope is born, it won't be so easy for the Chamber of Commerce to suppress me."
Safanyin smiled and said, "That's true, but you must be careful and not be careless."
"I will."
Who could have predicted that things would develop into what they are today in just three months?
Safanyin said, "It's all your fault. You should have met with that Yinxuan back then."
"Who does he think he is? There's absolutely no need to meet him. I can almost tell what he's here for: to threaten us, force us to open up our technology, and hand over the heritage of the shelter. If he's not sincere, why should we cooperate?"
Safan sighed, "Things have turned out this way, out of control. If the Chamber of Commerce sends out extraordinary experts, can you fight them alone?"
Qin Che said, "As long as they are not at the Master level, Great Transcendent beings are like ants in my eyes."
Different levels of life lead to completely different ways of manifesting power.
Qin Che's spiritual pressure alone is enough to make extraordinary individuals vomit blood and terrify great extraordinary individuals.
Even if the Chamber of Commerce sends multiple powerful individuals to surround and kill him, Qin Che has nothing to fear. He has a deep foundation in spiritual energy and can kite them to death with just his kite. If he combines it with traits such as 'Heart of Power' and 'Blood Battle', he can blast his opponent to pieces with a single punch.
Qin Che's mastery of power made him both detached and confident.
This is one of the reasons why he is not afraid of the Chamber of Commerce.
The war in Zhongzhou had nothing to do with him; after all, what the Chamber of Commerce wanted to seize was the treasure of the desert, Qin Che's family fortune.
Why should I support you in fighting this war?
Why should you covet what I have?
On what grounds?
Since you're here, let's fight.
...
A few days later.
Yang Jinshu and Zhou Shenglong, along with two others, arrived at the South China Sea City-State.
They arrived at the top ring bridge.
Yin Xuan personally greeted them, accompanied by five senior officials.
Even Yin Xuan, who had previously looked down on people, bowed respectfully upon meeting Yang Jinshu.
The five Grand Secretaries were the same, showing the utmost respect.
He was the foremost Grand Secretary of the previous generation. During his glorious period, the hawks and doves made peace because of Grand Secretary Yang, and they concentrated their efforts on great things, bringing benefits to the city and making significant contributions.
After retiring, he joined the Chamber of Commerce and became a big shot among the South China Sea delegates.
He also witnessed the entirety of the Central Plains War firsthand.
Knowing the strength of the Iron Beasts and the perseverance of the Machine Race.
While the Pope was a commendable figure, his unwavering commitment to guarding the area south of the Yellow River earned him the support of the Chamber of Commerce and investment from numerous other forces.
Yang Jinshu will not allow anyone to threaten the interests of the Chamber of Commerce.
With a powerful guild, the mechanical race has even more confidence on the battlefield.
Therefore, Yang Jinshu was willing to sacrifice some things.
Especially those forces that are huddled in the rear, living peacefully but refusing to offer any support.
Zhou Shenglong stood behind Yang Jinshu, just like he had many years ago, still acting as his bodyguard.
But now, Zhou Shenglong's aura is overwhelming, and his appearance immediately attracted the attention of the elders.
Among those who came to greet him were some psionicists. The moment before Zhou Shenglong arrived, a powerful spiritual pressure swept over them like a storm, more vast and profound than the ocean, sending chills down their spines.
The murderous intent emanating from Zhou Shenglong made everyone turn pale.
Many psychics even vomited on the spot.
They all looked at him with fear, their hearts filled with dread.
The extraordinary being from Zhongzhou is indeed very strong...
