Locust

Chapter 421 Two parties enter the game
Jin'aohai City.

It has been a year since the auction in Jinque Pavilion and the treasure map of the Huntian Treasure House were sold.

Over the past year, the situation has been changing, and the undercurrent of the mirage sea has surged, and countless monks have been involved. However, the Jin'ao Chamber of Commerce has taken advantage of the situation to rise up, ride the wind and waves, and grow step by step amidst the chaos, shocking the eyes of many people.

Of course, there were several crises among them, but most of them were easily resolved by the Jin'ao Chamber of Commerce. There were two particularly dangerous ones that were solved by the master of Biyou Palace from a distance.

The top floor of Jinque Pavilion.

The three giants of the Jin'ao Chamber of Commerce are gathering here.

"The price of treasure map imitations has dropped from the original 1000 million orbs to the current 300 million orbs." Han Chong sighed, "First, the powerful forces with the foundation have already got a copy of this item. I don’t cherish it, and secondly, there are masters in the art of weapons who have come forward to follow my example, so that the supply of treasure maps on the market exceeds the demand.”

"Han Chong estimates that the price of this treasure map will further drop. This good business will not last long."

The red-sleeved jade eyebrows lightly frowned: "The imitation of the treasure map refined by the leader used special prohibition methods. If others imitate the treasure map and explore the treasure map, the hidden prohibitions will be triggered and the treasure map will be damaged, making it impossible to completely imitate it. ."

After a pause, she said seriously: "I have checked and found that the treasure maps on the market are similar to the ones we sell. They are all fake and real. It seems to be the work of that mysterious person."

"Where did the mysterious man come from?" Daojun Tieqiu looked at the other two people, "Can the intelligence network in the sect have any definite information?"

"No." Han Chong shook his head slightly, "Although the mysterious man is only in the realm of the True Lord of Transformation, he has many magical powers. A diamond in his hand can activate the power of Hedao, which is very powerful. I can get out of danger several times."

"After some intelligence calculations, Xingxiu Pavilion believes that this person should be a casual cultivator. There is not much power behind him, otherwise he would not be hiding around."

"A casual cultivator without a backer?" Taojun Tieqiu stroked his chin and said thoughtfully: "Then what is the identity of the peak returner next to him?"

"It should be a returning puppet." Han Chong looked solemn. "The Dao Lord Yunhai who fought with him once revealed this information when talking to his friends, and it was found by the disciples in the sect."

"From the beginning to the end, in the pursuit and siege of all the major forces, the only one who was able to handle it with ease was that mysterious man."

"What a great life for this junior Transformation God." Daojun Tieqiu couldn't help but sigh, "He was able to escape safely in the hands of several great masters of returning to the void and high cultivators of Hedao. Such magical powers are unusual, and I don't want to be one." What a casual cultivator should have.”

"Xingxiu Pavilion also has a guess about this person's identity." Han Chong paused and continued, "This person is very likely to be Ao Wenguang. He is accompanied by the soul of the Mahayana True Saint and has continuous blessings. , it is not difficult to get the Vajra and Returning Puppet."

"How could it be him?" Taojun Tieqiu was slightly startled when he heard this, "The true treasure map contains so much catastrophic power that even the leader's clone cannot resolve it. How dare Ao Wenguang stay here forever?"

"Furthermore, as far as I know, there are no special circumstances in which the treasure map imitations leaked on the market affect one's personal fortune."

"Even Senior Tieqiu has this doubt, perhaps because of his clever methods." Hongxiu smiled sweetly and said: "The tribulation power in the true treasure map is difficult to resolve, but it can be temporarily sealed. I think Ao Wenguang is proficient in tribulation. The Way of Luck, and with the True Saint Yuan Shen accompanying you, you will not lack such means."

She stared at the other party and said sternly: "As for him not spreading the power of calamity, he probably didn't want to arouse suspicion and cause more trouble, lest Penglai Palace dispatch more power and make it difficult for him to escape. .”

Taojun Tieqiu pondered for a moment: "My friend said this, it is indeed very possible."

Hong Xiu smiled slightly and said: "Xingxiu Pavilion suspected that he was Ao Wenguang. It was not just based on speculation. It was also in the Red Whale Tower that a piece of valuable information was obtained."

"Oh?" Taojun Tieqiu looked at the other party, waiting for the next step.

Hongxiu said softly: "Ao Wenguang lived in Nanxiehai City for a period of time, and there were many people who had contact with him. The Red Whale Tower gathered these people together and allowed them to identify the projection of the mysterious person. Through the two By comparing his words and deeds, we can be nearly [-]% sure that the mysterious person is Ao Wenguang."

Han Chong added: "The probability of [-]% is not low. Master Red Whale has already planned to sell this information to Penglai Palace. I think the situation in Mirage Sea will change again in the near future..."

"Red Whale Tower on Xieji Island." Taojun Tieqiu stroked his chin, shook his head and sneered, "Old Red Whale wanted to slowly infiltrate our Jin'ao Chamber of Commerce through forming an alliance, but he never expected that his own lair had already been infiltrated by us. Like a sieve."

The Chi Jing Tower formed an alliance with the Jin'ao Chamber of Commerce, and his thoughts were not simple. Old Chi Jing wanted to secretly insert spies in the Chamber of Commerce and Biyou Palace all the time to control every move of the "allies".

However, the Shijiao also came from a secret organization, and its intelligence and espionage methods are no less inferior to those of the Red Whale Tower. Coupled with the green locust poison, it is easy to uncover the secrets in the chamber of commerce and instigate rebellion to become one of its own. , and as a double-sided assassin, he has always kept Chi Jinglou in the dark.

The two companies have cooperated, and the Jin'ao Chamber of Commerce has also provided the other party with many resources over the past year, among which elixirs are the top priority.

The Red Whale Tower betrayed his faith and came to bury the secret. Of course, the three giants wanted to "repay the favor", so they added green locusts to the elixirs they provided, which in turn slowly penetrated the Red Whale Tower.Han Chong smiled slightly when he heard this: "There have been relevant reports from Xingxiu Pavilion. In less than five years, the Red Whale Tower will be infiltrated and used by us. Old Red Whale will only become a loner."

Taojun Tieqiu laughed and said, "This old man steals the chicken but loses the rice. It seems that he wants to completely destroy his family fortune."

Although Xingxiu Pavilion has just been established and has only 21 official members, it has solved many problems for Jin'ao Chamber of Commerce by relying on the exquisite and magical Yi Dao deduction method in Future Xingxiu Spiritual Dafa, which can understand yin and yang, predict the future, and avoid death and prolong life. , has made great contributions.

Nowadays, the small Xingxiu Pavilion is the most important center of Jin'ao Chamber of Commerce under the three giants, and can influence the most important decisions of the chamber of commerce.

Hong Xiu stared at the two of them and said calmly: "Now there is one last big thing, which requires the three of us to make a decision together."

Han Chong calmly said: "What Taoist fellow Taoist said is that Taoist Lord Yunhai put pressure on us and wants to take our Jin'ao Chamber of Commerce for his own use?"

Hong Xiu nodded lightly: "Yes, that's exactly what you're talking about."

"Zhenjun Yunhai is only the peak of the Void Return, so he won't have such a big appetite." Daojun Tieqiu frowned, "It should be the Three Immortals Island behind it. Seeing that our Jin'ao Chamber of Commerce is prospering, we are coveting it. Heart."

After a pause, he stared at Hongxiu: "Little friend Hongxiu, what does the leader say about this matter?"

Hongxiu replied: "The leader said that the Jin'ao Chamber of Commerce was founded by us, and the affairs of the chamber of commerce will be left to us to make decisions."

Han Chong asked: "Now only Zhenjun Yunhai has come forward. It should be that Sanxian Island takes into account its reputation and does not want to use it as an excuse to embezzle the properties of other forces. If we refuse forcefully, I am afraid that they will ignore their dignity and send someone with a higher level. figure."

"It is not easy to postpone this matter." He stared at Hongxiu and said, "Fellow Taoist, how many shares does True Lord Yunhai want from Jin'ao Chamber of Commerce?"

Hong Xiu stretched out four fingers and said softly: "He wants at least 4% of the shares."

"It's really a lion's mouth!" Taojun Tieqiu looked cold. "Biyou Palace only has [-]% of the shares left. He wants to occupy [-]%. It is obvious that he wants to slowly swallow up the entire Jin'ao Chamber of Commerce."

Twenty percent of the Jin'ao Chamber of Commerce's capital is sold to the market, part of which is in the hands of various cooperative forces, and part of which is in the hands of casual cultivators in Haishi; [-]% is owned by the Longshou Jin'ao clan; and the remaining [-]% is in Biyou Palace. under the name.

Now that True Monarch Yunhai wants to acquire [-]% of the shares in one fell swoop, his voice in the Chamber of Commerce will be directly higher than that of Biyou Palace. This is obviously a grab for power.

Han Chong also frowned and said: "We must not agree to this. People's desires are endless. If we give in easily, we will only let the other party see the weakness of Biyou Palace and have the courage to take advantage of it."

Hongxiu said calmly: "Of course I bluntly rejected this matter, but I can see that True Lord Yunhai does not intend to give up. There should be a next move soon. We must come up with countermeasures as soon as possible and don't fall into passive."

Taojun Tieqiu suddenly smiled: "Young red-sleeved friend is extremely intelligent and so calm today. There should have been a suspicion, so you might as well speak up."

Han Chong also smiled slightly and said: "Fellow Taoist, you can tell me the countermeasures directly. Han is all ears."

"There is indeed a countermeasure, but it is not the one I came up with, but the best countermeasure calculated by Xingxiu Pavilion." Hongxiu smiled and stared at the two people in front of him, "Three Immortals Island is powerful, even if A little excess of power is enough to crush the Jin Ao Chamber of Commerce to death, so it would be unwise to reject them."

"Behind Daojun Yunhai is Sanxian Island. He has decided to join the Jin'ao Chamber of Commerce, and he is determined. The matter is a foregone conclusion. Now the only way is to introduce third-party forces to balance the power in the chamber of commerce, so that Daojun Yunhai will not let One family."

Taojun Tieqiu's heart moved: "My little friend is talking about Penglai Palace."

"That's right." Hongxiu nodded slightly, "Only Penglai Palace can compete with the Three Immortals Island."

"Xingxiu Pavilion's plan is to sell [-]% of the shares to Daojun Yunhai and Ao Xin respectively. We will only retain [-]% of the shares to retain the control of the Jin'ao Chamber of Commerce."

Han Chong sighed: "In this way, Daojun Yunhai and Ao Xin can also interfere in the decision-making of the Chamber of Commerce. We are afraid that we will have to restrict everything in the future."

Hongxiu smiled slightly: "Fellow Daoist Han only talked about the bad side, why not think more about the good side."

"With the addition of the two, Jin'ao Chamber of Commerce is equivalent to having two more big backers, Sanxian Island and Penglai Palace. It will soar into the sky and is just around the corner..."
