Mountain God Yi Xun looked at Ye Zhen with a surprised face as he hurriedly took out the Mother-Child Magic Conch and quickly established contact.
Earlier, when Ye Zhen and Mountain God Yi Xun were dividing the invaluable true dragon body of the Blue-scaled Dragon King, they montarily forgot to warn the Market of Dulong Island.
The Blue-scaled Dragon King was slain by the joint forces of Ye Zhen and Yi Xun, but its Primordial Spirit escaped with the help of protections set by a Dao Realm expert, and Ye Zhen didn’t know the current state of the Blue-scaled Dragon King.
However, the Blue-scaled Dragon King in fury might likely do sothing irrational.
For instance, to completely disregard the life and death of his son Ao Zheng, ordering a massacre of the Market of Dulong Island is possible.
Though the possibility isn’t large, if it indeed occurs, then even if Ye Zhen tortures the Blue-scaled Dragon King’s son to death, it would be of no benefit.
Ye Zhen’s only solace was that he had already warned the Market of Dulong Island, making the worst-case scenario less likely, even if the Blue-scaled Dragon King loses his mind.
Soon, Ye Zhen made contact with his senior sister Liao Feibai at Dulong Island. There was no disturbance in the Market of Dulong Island at present, but preparations for a swift evacuation were already made.
After so thought, Ye Zhen instructed Liao Feibai to stay alert, and to leave Dulong Island swiftly, finding refuge in the Xiansheng Water Mansion.
Within the entire Market of Dulong Island, whether wealth or people, anything else could be disregarded; only Liao Feibai was soone Ye Zhen couldn’t bear to lose.
Even though current circumstances suggested the Blue-scaled Dragon King hadn’t lost his mind, maintaining hold of the Market of Dulong Island was still feasible.
Nevertheless, one couldn’t guarantee the Blue-scaled Dragon King wouldn’t lose his mind or secretly investigate to use similar thods against Ye Zhen. For safety reasons, it was best for Liao Feibai to relocate early.
In the entire Market of Dulong Island, the only leverage against Ye Zhen was Liao Feibai alone.
Subsequently, Ye Zhen urgently contacted the North Sea County fiefdom, requesting Gu Tieqi and Tang Biao to elevate the alert level of North Sea County to the highest, preventing the irrational Blue-scaled Dragon King from massacring the entire North Sea County.
Simultaneously, Ye Zhen particularly reached out to his older brother, the Great Saint of Jinghai, urging him to remain cautious while distancing themselves from the Market of Dulong Island, lest the perceptive Blue-scaled Dragon King discovers their secret connection.
As for the defense of Dulong Island, it was left to Yuanxin Water Monarch Dang Xiao’s interference, for if the Blue-scaled Dragon King targets Yuanxin Water Monarch, it signifies impending danger for Dulong Island.
After conveying all these instructions, Ye Zhen finally exhaled deeply, yet his expression remained extrely solemn.
This battle today utterly tore apart the facade with the Blue-scaled Dragon King, having significant repercussions especially when the Blue-scaled Dragon King has a way to nullify Ye Zhen’s actions against his son; Ye Zhen will be rendered highly passive.
"Ti, I need more ti, quickly get stronger, swiftly boost my cultivation!" Ye Zhen clenched his fist abruptly.
"Is Count Ye worried about your Market of Dulong Island?" asked Yi Xun who had been waiting, his gaze turning towards Ye Zhen, "We already have so intelligence here regarding your Market of Dulong Island, it has a substantial supply of Red Yin Grass and promising prospects."
"Just a bit of effort, not really worried."
Ye Zhen glanced back in the direction of Dulong Island, "If it can be safeguarded, it wouldn’t just be a source of wealth to support cultivation, but it might also have potential to flourish in the future.
If it cannot be and gets destroyed by the Old Blue-scaled Dragon, then so be it, as long as lives are preserved, then we can always rebuild when the strength is enhanced later." Ye Zhen spoke.
"Haha, Count Ye is truly broad-minded. However, since we’re discussing this matter, Elder Yi here does have an idea to preserve the assets of your Market of Dulong Island." Mountain God Yi Xun said.
"Oh?" Ye Zhen’s eyes brightened, "Please enlighten , senior."
"The approach is simple, but it might make Count Ye suffer a bit." Yi Xun said.
"It’s to collaborate with our Five Immortals Hall, becoming an affiliate market under our Five Immortals Hall."
This statent made Ye Zhen frown slightly, sowhat perplexed, yet Mountain God Yi Xun smiled again, "Of course, grabbing assets personally in front of Count Ye, elder wouldn’t do such a thing.
Actually, it’s just having Count Ye give up about half a share to transfer it to our Five Immortals Hall, and then your Market of Dulong Island can openly bear the banner of the Five Immortals Hall.
Once a market carries the Five Immortals Hall banner, don’t dare say across All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, but within the North Sea domain, no one dares touch it.
Not just a small Dragon King like the Blue-scaled Dragon King, but even the Four Seas Dragon Court would have to ponder the consequences if they wanted to touch a market under the Five Immortals Hall."
This statent, expressed with utmost arrogance by Mountain God Yi Xun, evoked a stir in Ye Zhen’s heart, as Yi Xun continued speaking.
"Of course, our Five Immortals Hall wouldn’t take your Market of Dulong Island shares for nothing; we’ll establish a branch at your market to both oversee and sell, collect so intelligence, and price details as well, Count Ye, what do you think?" Mountain God Yi Xun inquired.
Ye Zhen felt a rush of warmth on his face, indeed embarrassed by his prior assumptions.
This wasn’t the Five Immortals Hall taking advantage of the Market of Dulong Island, but quite evidently Dulong Island was benefiting from the prestige of the Five Immortals Hall.
The Five Immortals Hall’s comrcial branch, that reputation, not just on the entire Primordial Continent, but throughout All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, stands remarkably recognized.
It’s both a symbol of strength and credibility.
If it is held at the Market of Dulong Island, the effect would be as shocking as if Ren Venerate Emperor Ji Long personally visited the Market of Dulong Island.
The benefits brought by that influence are simply imasurable.
Not to ntion occupying a ten percent share, many markets even offer up forty or fifty percent shares but can’t invite the Five Immortals Hall to open a branch in their market.
There’s no choice, the Five Immortals Hall’s golden brand na is just that impressive.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t beco one of the two major markets in the entire North Sea.
Ye Zhen understands that doing this will not only solve the crisis facing the Market of Dulong Island, but it will also make the Market of Dulong Island prosper quickly.
Ye Zhen estimates that not only does the Blue-scaled Dragon King want to destroy the Market of Dulong Island, but even the prince behind Luv Rang whom Ye Zhen previously offended would have to think twice before seeking revenge on the Market of Dulong Island.
Calculating it like this, Ye Zhen isn’t at a loss; in fact, he is getting a substantial advantage.
However, Ye Zhen also clearly understands the intention of Mountain God Yi Xun making such a move, which is to have him willingly join the Five Immortals Heavenly Destiny Hall?
Anyway, since Mountain God Yi Xun took action tonight, not only did he avoid a desperate escape, but he also killed the True Body of the Blue-scaled Dragon King and gained a trendous harvest. Ye Zhen has already received so many benefits, this additional boon is no big deal.
In any case, Ye Zhen has already decided to join the Five Immortals Heavenly Destiny Hall.
Not to ntion anything else, after receiving their assistance multiple tis, even if they don’t ntion it, Ye Zhen can’t ignore them.
This heart is too sincere!
Although Ye Zhen has always been puzzled about why the Five Immortals Heavenly Destiny Hall is so keen to invite him to join, they indeed did everything possible.
If the Five Immortals Heavenly Destiny Hall truly wanted sothing from Ye Zhen, with their calculations, they could have taken Ye Zhen’s life long ago. Ye Zhen has nothing to guard against.
"Since Count Ye agrees, when I return, I will arrange for the Five Immortals Hall to open a branch at the Market of Dulong Island quickly, and shopkeepers and experts will be stationed.
The specific matters of receiving shares will also be handled by soone sent to negotiate,"
At this point, Mountain God Yi Xun’s eyebrows suddenly furrowed, showing so hesitation, "However, before cooperating, there are so things that need to be told to Count Ye first."
"Please speak, senior."
"Count Ye knows that our Five Immortals Hall has five major halls, and our Heavenly Destiny Hall is just one of them. This matter can be settled by us, the Heavenly Destiny Hall, but within the Five Immortals Hall, each of the five halls has its own responsibilities and affairs.
Once we start working together, Count Ye may encounter personnel from the other four halls."
Here, Yi Xun chuckled wryly, "Where there are people, there are Jianghu; the Five Immortals Hall internally also doesn’t have just one voice.
Perhaps there will be so trouble, though it shouldn’t be hard to manage. ntioning it now is just to make Count Ye ntally prepared," Yi Xun said.
"I understand!" Ye Zhen nodded.
Actually, when representatives from the five halls within the Five Immortals Hall ca separately to extend different offers inviting Ye Zhen to join, Ye Zhen knew that the internal situation of the Five Immortals Hall is not monolithic, and there are quite a few disagreents.
Now that Yi Xun brings this up in his presence, Ye Zhen is not surprised at all.
"Additionally, Count Ye should know that all the five major halls of our Five Immortals Hall have invited you. Now that you’ve chosen our Heavenly Destiny Hall, this might internally foster so dissent, and perhaps there might be.... "
Saying this, Yi Xun first smiled bitterly himself, "Does this count as exposing family shortcomings? Our Five Immortals Hall internally is not peaceful; if Count Ye decides to reconsider and decides not to join our Five Immortals Hall, it’s still not too late."
"Given how sincere you are, even if I didn’t want to join, I would have to say it aloud." At this point, Ye Zhen’s expression suddenly beca serious, "Nonetheless, speaking from my heart, my decision to join the Five Immortals Heavenly Destiny Hall is genuine, and it is for a reason."
"Regardless of how you arrange my joining the Heavenly Destiny Hall, I want to ask Yi Lao to convey one matter, and I hope it succeeds," Ye Zhen said.
"Please go ahead, Count Ye."
"After joining the Heavenly Destiny Hall, I wish to personally et the Venerable once — I wonder if I have this honor?" Ye Zhen asked.
Upon hearing this, Yi Xun nodded, "I will convey this matter on behalf of you, how it is decided will depend on the Venerable’s intentions. Also, regarding Count Ye joining the Heavenly Destiny Hall, I can only report it tonight, to know how the Venerable arranges it.
Now, we should hurry to the Five Immortals Arena."
"With you, the Defender, not appearing and , the host, not being present, the Five Immortals Arena could be chaotic!" Yi Xun said with a smile.
"Indeed!"
With smiles, Ye Zhen and Yi Xun respectively headed towards the Five Immortals Arena which was now in sight.
