In Pingling Mountain, inside the cave, Gao Yuan entered from the outside, bowed and saluted, and handed the file in his hand to him: "Uncle Master, all the captured trophies have been counted. Please take a look."

Tang Ning took the file and opened it. She saw that pills, spiritual weapons, magic weapons, talismans, array flags, spiritual weapons, and many other training materials were clearly written line by line. This robbery can be said to be a rich harvest.

, the items recorded on it alone are worth at least 10,000 to 20,000 high-grade spiritual stones.

"It seems that the harvest is not small! Transport all these things to my cave. You have worked hard too. I will give rewards to everyone later."

Tangning was very happy when she saw the rewards were so rich.

"It's all due to my uncle's strength. I can't wait to just run around and don't dare to talk about my merits."

"Tell the people below that there is nothing important to do during this period, so try not to go out. In addition, you should arrange some sentries around the spirit mine to be on alert at all times. You have to take such a huge advantage, so you must be cautious."

"Yes, disciple, go and make arrangements right away." Gao Yuan responded.

"Master, there are so many good things. We will make a lot of money on this trip. It would be great if we can rob a few more merchant ships in the future." Gu Yuanya looked at the file in his hand and said with a smile on his face.

"Do you think they are bandits who gather in the mountains and forests, and you can rob this merchant ship? If it weren't for the instructions from above, the crime of ship robberies alone would be enough to carry a sentence of hundreds of years."

"Of course I know, shouldn't I just say it casually? Oh! By the way, master, do you think they will fight back if we rob the Chamber of Commerce's supplies on a large scale this time?"

"I don't know, this is not something we should consider. In these extraordinary times, you should stay in the spirit mine and don't go out, so as not to be ambushed by others." Tang Ning shook her head and said, wondering how effective this ambush would be.

, he was not optimistic.

When he was in the brigade directly under the alliance, he also participated in the ambush of Kunyan Chamber of Commerce. Not long after the Netherworld Sea Organization settled in Donglai County, many chambers of commerce chose to cooperate with them driven by profits.

Kunyan Chamber of Commerce is one of them. After being ambushed and suffering heavy losses, Kunyan Chamber of Commerce decisively and wisely chose to end its cooperative relationship with the Netherworld Sea Organization.

That was a very successful case, but this time the situation was completely different from last time.

The reason why it was successful last time was because there was a huge disparity in strength between the two sides. Kunyan Chamber of Commerce was just the leader of Xuantang City. It was far from qualified to fight against Xuanmen headed by Taixuanzong, so it had no choice but to go after suffering a loss.

Swallow it in your stomach.

However, this time they have to face the entire Qingzhou Chamber of Commerce, led by the Qiankun Chamber of Commerce. It may be difficult to make them submit with just a few raids and ship hijacks, and fierce conflicts may even break out.

Once the Chamber of Commerce and Xuanmen start fighting, Netherworld Sea will not stand idly by. Unless they are determined to completely separate from the Chamber of Commerce and Netherworld Sea organization, it will be difficult to stop their cooperation.

Because this matter makes no sense, and it is clear who is who and who is who. The commercial cooperation between the Chamber of Commerce and the Netherworld Sea Organization is completely reasonable and legal. The Taoist side insists on stepping in to cause damage, which is simply a mess.

What's more, there are Mubei demons in the north who are eyeing them and may counterattack at any time. Taixuanzong has to rely on the Chamber of Commerce and the Netherworld Sea Organization.

Especially the Netherworld Sea Organization, they made great efforts to repel the Mubei Demon last time, and now Qinghai is an important barrier in their hands. Once they stop their troops, the Mubei Demon can go straight to Qingzhou.

On the one hand, Qingzhou Xuanmen had to use them, but on the other hand, they were very wary of them. Their attitude was very contradictory. Therefore, when they robbed merchant ships twice, they only attacked the Chamber of Commerce and did not attack the Netherworld Sea forces.

In fact, this cooperation between the Chamber of Commerce and Netherworld Sea has been foreshadowed for a long time. When Netherworld Sea organization promoted the idea of ​​​​Datong before, it always described all parties as extremely evil villains who oppressed good people, in order to consolidate the ideas of its members.

These villains include not only the Xuanmen, the Cultivation Family, the Demon Sect, and the Monster Clan, but also the Chamber of Commerce.

But in the past two hundred years, the Netherworld Sea Organization has placed the Chamber of Commerce in a neutral position in both internal and external propaganda, and no longer promotes ideas hostile to them.

They even praised the attitude of the Chamber of Commerce, saying that they emerged from the mire and remained untainted, which to a certain extent brought about the prosperity of Tianyuan, which was incomparable with Xuanmen, the Cultivation Family and the Demon Sect, etc.

Now it seems that this change in attitude is not just to build momentum for today's cooperation?

Tangning had a vague feeling that Qingzhou might not be peaceful in the future. Originally, Qingzhou's Taoist clan, aristocratic families, and chamber of commerce were in a very stable situation. However, the arrival of Netherworld Sea has added too many unstable factors. Once the balance is broken, a bloody storm will ensue.

The cooperation between the Qiankun Chamber of Commerce and the Netherworld Sea Organization is the point that breaks the balance. Although the impact is minimal now, it will explode one day.

Emperor Taixuanzong Gao Ran saw this, so he spared no effort to destroy their cooperation.

…………

In the majestic and majestic cave in Cangming Sea and Zhuque Island, a burly man came in from the outside and bowed and saluted: "President, Taixuan Sect has sent someone to ask to see you."

"Who's coming?"

"The leader is Yan Ziyu, the steward of Qingxuan Palace, and a group of people accompanying him."

Jiang Shouye pondered for a while: "I don't know how, let Wei Qing talk to him!"

"Yes." The man responded.

…

In the splendid hall with its carved beams and painted pillars, a man with gray hair on his temples sat in it, with several men and women standing behind him.

"Fellow Daoist Yan, we are here to welcome you. I am disrespectful and disrespectful when I fail to greet you." A middle-aged man with a fair complexion came in from the outside, smiling and bowing his head.

"You don't have to be polite, fellow Daoist Wei, it's us who have taken the liberty to disturb you." Yan Ziyu stood up and returned the courtesy.

"Quick, please take a seat."

The two of them sat separately as guest and host.

"Fellow Daoist Yan, unfortunately we are in such a tight situation. The president of our Chamber of Commerce is out on business and is not on the island now. I don't know when he will come back. Friend Daoist, I think there must be something important here. If you don't mind that my position is low, you can talk to me first."

I know that those who can make the decision within the scope of their authority will do their best. If they cannot make the decision, I will tell the president when he comes back."

"It doesn't matter, it's the same if Fellow Daoist Wei is here. Who doesn't know Fellow Daoist Wei's status in the Qiankun Chamber of Commerce? Since President Jiang is not here, Fellow Daoist Wei must be the one making the final decision on matters in your Chamber of Commerce."

"This is not something we should take seriously. Only the president of our chamber of commerce can arbitrarily decide the affairs of the chamber of commerce. Only he can make everyone in the chamber of commerce bow their heads and obey his orders. Although Wei holds the position of vice president, his prestige and ability are higher than those of the highly respected president.

Far from it.”

"Yan Mou heard that Fellow Daoist Wei seemed to agree with the cooperation with the Netherworld Sea Organization. I heard that this time your chamber of commerce announced that the comprehensive cooperation with the Netherworld Sea Organization was promoted by Fellow Daoist. Is this true?"

Wei Qing smiled slightly: "These are all rumors spread by the people below. Fellow Daoist Yan should know very well that the Qiankun Chamber of Commerce is not the property of Wei, and I alone can take charge of such a big matter. But since Fellow Daoist Yan asked in person, I

To tell you the truth, I do support this matter."

"The Chamber of Commerce! What we pay attention to is harmony, wealth, unity and tolerance. Moreover, the Nether Sea Organization is not a hostile force. During the Qinghai War, we were allies. I can't think of any reason to refuse their invitation to cooperate."

Yan Ziyu said: "I cannot agree with what Fellow Taoist Wei said. We all know the nature of those people in Netherworld Sea. They are definitely not people who want to make money and be united and tolerant. Fellow Daoist will definitely not forget what happened in Qinghai. If they are allowed to do so,

If it develops, it will be a great threat to both your Chamber of Commerce and us."

"I don't think Taoist friends don't understand this. With all due respect, your Chamber of Commerce is completely feeding a tiger's troubles by doing this, and it will definitely kill itself in the future. I hope your Chamber of Commerce can reconsider this matter carefully."

Wei Qingdao: "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Yan, for the reminder. However, the cooperation with the Netherworld Sea Organization is not Wei's wish. This matter has already passed an internal resolution of our Chamber of Commerce. If Fellow Daoist Yan comes here for this purpose and wants our Chamber of Commerce to take back this decision, Wei

I’m afraid there’s nothing we can do.”

Yan Ziyu's face straightened: "Even if this decision will harm the relationship between your Chamber of Commerce and our sect, as well as Qingzhou, Yanzhou Xuanmen and many aristocratic cultivating families, will your Chamber of Commerce insist on going its own way?"

"I'm really sorry. Regarding this matter, our chamber of commerce has reached a consensus. Our chamber of commerce sincerely hopes that Guizong and colleagues Xuanmen can understand."

"Is there no room for change in this matter? Does your Chamber of Commerce really not give it any more thought? Would you rather damage the relationship with Xuanmen and the Cultivation Family than cooperate with the Netherworld Sea Organization?"

"Our Chamber of Commerce is engaged in business. Since it is profitable, there is no reason to refuse people thousands of miles away. I hope your sect will understand."

"This is the final attitude of your Chamber of Commerce. Even if it arouses strong opposition from Qingzhou Xuanmen and the Cultivation Family, it will not hesitate to do so. Can I understand this?"

"I cannot answer on behalf of the president, but as far as my personal wishes are concerned, there will be nothing that can hinder our cooperation with Netherworld Sea."
