The capital was buzzing. Today was the deal day the Thousand Wealth Chamber was going to unveil their project.
A project that shook the whole Southern Region.
Even though the Thousand Wealth Chamber only invited the most influential forces and clans in the capital, all the inhabitants of the capital were eager to see the project.
Those from outside the capital journeyed to see the massive project that shook an entire region.
The capital was overcrowded. Taverns and restaurants filled with people.
At the event venue, many people had already gathered. At first, they only numbered in tens. Gradually, they grew to hundreds before they numbered in thousands.
"What do you think we’re going to see?"
"How would I know? If I knew, do you think I’d co this early under the scorching sun?"
"We all know what the Thousand Wealth Chamber promises. But I don’t see anything happening. Apart from digging tunnels and placing huge pipes inside, setting up a massive formation. There is nothing. I think this is all a ruse."
The mont the voice spoke, the crowd was silent for a mont, and everyone turned their gaze in the direction.
Feeling all their gazes, the young man opened his mouth without speaking, felt his skin crawl with sharp needles.
Instantly, the crowd around him moved away from him, their faces etched with panic and fear.
"T-This bastard!" a voice couldn’t help but curse.
"I know so people are foolish, but this is madness."
"I hope the Thousand Wealth Chamber did not include us when they’re dealing with this fool."
"I can’t imagine so ignorant good-for-nothing man would open his mouth without thinking."
"Which clan did this bastard co from? They need to be destroyed."
The young man who spoke shuddered, listening to all the negative comnts around him. Many glared at him without hiding their killing intent.
"I’m dood!" he muttered.
He thought the words only in his mind but did not know when he opened his mouth and spoke. His forehead was covered in sweat, his lips trembling and his breathing ragged from panic.
He wished the land would open up and swallow him. He looked around for help, but no one was willing to help him.
He wanted to escape, but he knew there was no escape from the ss. Even without the Thousand Wealth Chamber taking action, many would kill him to earn favor from the chamber.
"Eh, look! The Gao clans are here," a voice shouted, diverting everyone’s attention.
The arrival of the Gao clan raised the chatter, but the Gao clans were quiet. Their matriarch led elders and the younger generation to the side as they waited quietly.
Their previous pride had long vanished.
Looking at the gentle behavior, it felt surreal to many, but no one spoke. After a few minutes, the He clan arrived.
Like the Gao clan, they did not throw their weight around and calmly took their spot.
Watching the famous top clans acting docile, many could not believe their eyes. Subconsciously, the crowd turned their eyes to the young man that opened his mouth to condemn the Thousand Wealth Chamber.
You’re gone, they said with their eyes.
After the He clan’s arrival, many influential clans arrived one after the other. They all arrived quietly and took their spot.
Suddenly, a luxurious carriage arrived at the venue. Looking at the insignia on the carriage, many gasped in disbelief.
Creak!
The carriage door was pushed open, and the governor stepped out. His calm and approachable smile drew everyone in.
To many, this was the first ti they saw the Southern Region Capital Governor. Many would have shouted and called the governor in excitent, but when they rembered the gripping fear of the Thousand Wealth Chamber, they reined in their eagerness.
The governor did not raise any airs and moved to the location assigned to him. Just like everyone, he stood quietly and waited for the event to start.
"Huh! What was that?" a voice whispered and pointed in a direction.
Many shifted their gaze in the direction and saw many girls walking toward the venue. Their steps were light, but the air around them seed to freeze.
Their robes blew gently with the wind, and with the insignia on their chest, the crowd realized they were from the Frost Moon Sect.
Looking at the Frost Moon Sect disciples, the arena was quiet, everyone holding their breath. This was the first ti they saw many disciples of the Frost Moon Sect.
Behind them were their Sect Master and a few elders.
Shock and disbelief appeared on everyone’s face. The Frost Moon Sect Master ca?
She was one of the most powerful experts in the region—A Golden Core Expert.
The Gao Clan Matriarch and He Clan Patriarch looked at the Frost Moon Sect Master and disciples with various thoughts flashing through their faces. But they hid it very well.
Without causing any fanfare, the Frost Moon Sect Master stood behind her disciples quietly. Yet, her presence made everyone in the venue tense.
Just then, the Nine Mountain Sect arrived. Their presence did not co as too much shock. But the presence of their Sect Master made everyone realize this was not just a re show—it was sothing more.
Sothing that no ordinary people could know about.
Before the Nine Mountain Sect could settle, the Wind Spirit Sect arrived together with their Sect Master.
Looking at the known three Sect Masters, no one dared speak out loud in fear of angering them.
With the arrival of the three most powerful forces in the Southern Region, everyone couldn’t wait for the event to start.
Just then, the Golden Pavilion and the Seven Talisman Trade Hall arrived at the sa ti. Their arrival did not raise any air, but still, many looked at them in confusion.
When did the Golden Pavilion and Seven Talisman Trade Hall get this close?
Shortly, the Broken Moon Consortium arrived. Like a lone ranger, they arrived and took their spot. Many thought their mysterious Young Miss would show her face in such a grand event, but they were wrong.
Since their Young Miss did not appear, many lost interest in them quickly.
After waiting for half an hour, all the major forces in the capital and its surroundings had arrived. The Wuyu City Lord stood calmly with his two children beside him.
Not far from him was the Crane City Lord. He and his wife stood smiling at the few people around them.
When the sun was at its zenith, the creaking sound of the carriage echoed on the still, quiet road.
Instantly, many turned their gaze in the direction. Looking at the carriage with lifelike carvings of dragon and phoenix bathed in coins.
They are here.
From the first carriage, a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance stepped down. His red and blue robe flowed gracefully against his chiseled muscles.
Without moving, he stood beside his carriage as if waiting.
Indeed, he was waiting.
One after the other, carriages from the Thousand Wealth Chamber stopped, and those inside got down one after the other.
But instead of leaving, they stood and waited patiently.
Lastly, the final carriage stopped at the center of the venue. Instantly, a group of handso young n and won rushed to the carriage door.
They spread an expensive red silk cloth made with fur on the ground. The expensive red silk cloth was spread long to the entrance of a small pavilion.
The beautiful maidens stood on both sides of the red silk robe, carrying small baskets filled with beautiful ornantal flowers.
Just the sll from the flowers intoxicated many people.
Everyone at the venue watched the show with amazent.
Creak!
The door to the carriage was opened, and a young man stepped out. He was clad in a white robe, laced with gold stride. His chiseled face, long silver hair, and deep blue eyes captured everyone’s attention.
Stepping on the red silk robe made of fur, the beautiful maidens on both sides scooped handfuls of flowers from the baskets and spread them on the red silk.
Mo Jian, with a calm expression on his face, walked on the red silk, not caring about all the gazes directed at him.
Slling the srizing fragrance from the flowers, he grinned inwardly.
With all his wealth, why shouldn’t he be flamboyant once? Besides, he did it with style.
All the won, both old and young, could not tear their gazes from him.
Apart from his handso appearance, the power he commanded made him attractive unlike any other man.
To the various leaders of each force, Mo Jian was not just showing his wealth. He was passing a ssage—a ssage only they could understand.
With Mo Jian taking his spot, a mature, beautiful woman walked to the podium.
She mounted the podium, flashing the crowd with her best smile.
"Hello, everyone. Thank you for coming. I’m Sun Na," Sun Na said, her sweet voice echoing.
"Today, many will see what seems impossible, possible before your eyes. You all know, we in the Thousand Wealth Chamber are always chasing what no one has ever done before."
"This ti, it won’t be any different."
