Who would have thought that the bunch of good-for-nothings on "Three Month Island" couldn’t handle even this small matter, and instead stirred up such trouble.
Great, now he’s in a real dilemma.
The Five Elents Master had just left not long ago.
He is soone who can kill Nascent Soul Realm cultivators as easily as taking sothing out of a bag.
The president of the "Four Seas Comrce Association," a mysterious Nascent Soul Realm expert, probably isn’t a match for the Five Elents Master either.
If Li Yunjing were to invite the Five Elents Master back, Ao Lie would be dood!
Now the question is whether Li Yunjing has the capability to bring over a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator!
Should he take a gamble?
If Li Yunjing is just bluffing, Ao Lie can simply ignore him and continue to exert pressure as before!
But if the Five Elents Master does co?
Then there will be no future for Ao Lie.
Just as Ao Lie was in a dilemma, a cold snort suddenly echoed, and soone appeared inside the "Star Moon Trading Company."
This person was none other than Elder Wu Cheng!
"Ao Lie, my friend, I understand the situation now. You have indeed gone too far!"
As an elder of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," Elder Wu Cheng did not like to stir up trouble, but that didn’t an he would tolerate being humiliated!
The "Four Seas Comrce Association" clearly did not take him seriously!
If pushed to the limit, Elder Wu Cheng would use his great divine techniques, pay a huge price, set up an altar, sacrifice to the heavens and earth, and use mysterious powers to communicate with the Dao of Heaven and Earth, transmitting his voice for a million miles to notify the sect!
By then, let’s see if the "Four Seas Comrce Association" still dares to act arrogantly!
Seeing Elder Wu Cheng appear, Ao Lie’s heart tightened but he forced himself to remain calm and slightly bowed, "Elder Wu Cheng, this is indeed a misunderstanding. I have just learned about the misconduct of my subordinates and have co to apologize."
Elder Wu Cheng’s sharp gaze fixed on Ao Lie as he coldly snorted, "Hmph, a misunderstanding? You intercepted people from the ’Star Moon Trading Company,’ and now you think a simple misunderstanding can resolve this?"
Cold sweat ford on Ao Lie’s forehead, and he secretly cursed his luck. He knew Elder Wu Cheng’s might and his significant status in the "Shenxiao Dao Sect."
Even though Wu Cheng’s cultivation wasn’t as high as his own, his status was lofty!
Li Yunjing and the others were overjoyed; Elder Wu Cheng’s appearance undoubtedly boosted their confidence significantly.
At this mont, the presence of a Golden Core Realm expert made a huge difference!
Li Yunjing took a step forward and said, "Ao Lie, now that Elder Wu Cheng is here, you should think carefully about the conditions I proposed. Do you accept or not?"
Ao Lie gritted his teeth, his mind spinning with calculations.
If he agrees, the "Four Seas Comrce Association’s" reputation and interests in the East Sea will suffer; if he doesn’t agree, and Elder Wu Cheng really uses his great divine techniques to contact the sect, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Elder Wu Cheng, Li Yunjing, this matter is indeed difficult for to decide alone. I need to go back and discuss it with the higher-ups of the association."
Ao Lie’s eyes flickered as he ca up with a delaying tactic.
Elder Wu Cheng’s sharp eyes saw through Ao Lie’s thoughts and he coldly sneered, "Ao Lie, don’t play tricks. I’ll give you three days. If I don’t get a reply after three days, don’t bla my ’Shenxiao Dao Sect’ for being unkind."
Ao Lie quickly agreed and hurriedly left with his subordinates.
Back at the "Four Seas Comrce Association" headquarters, Ao Lie imdiately gathered the high-level mbers to discuss counterasures.
"That Elder Wu Cheng is not to be trifled with. If he really contacts the ’Shenxiao Dao Sect,’ our business in the East Sea will be ruined."
One of the stewards said worriedly.
Ao Lie’s face was dark as he paced back and forth, "I know, but agreeing to Li Yunjing’s conditions would cause us too much loss."
Everyone discussed back and forth, without reaching a conclusion.
anwhile, at the "Star Moon Trading Company," Li Yunjing and Elder Wu Cheng were also discussing the next steps.
"Elder Wu Cheng, Ao Lie is extrely cunning; I fear he won’t yield easily."
Li Yunjing said.
Elder Wu Cheng nodded, "Indeed, we must not let our guard down. During these three days, have your people closely monitor the ’Four Seas Comrce Association’s activities. I will also prepare so contingency plans to prevent them from acting recklessly."
Three days later, Ao Lie did not give a reply as expected.
Li Yunjing and Elder Wu Cheng knew that both sides had reached an impasse.
Ao Lie was betting that the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" wouldn’t turn against the "Four Seas Comrce Association" for Li Yunjing’s sake!
Inside the "Star Moon Trading Company," everyone was on high alert, ready for the imminent conflict.
Elder Wu Cheng activated the array on "Shenxiao Island," ready to unleash its full power at any mont!
This array had been personally arranged by the Five Elents Master and Fu Lingfeng, the island protection array, which could withstand attacks from Nascent Soul Realm cultivators. Even soone of that level would find it difficult to break through after ten days and nights of assault.
Within the "Shenxiao Dao Sect."
"Ao Lie! You dare ignore ! Do you really think the old man is easy to bully? Let show you the true power of the ’Shenxiao Dao Sect’!"
Elder Wu Cheng’s face was grim.
The outco of the three days left him very dissatisfied.
Considering Ao Lie’s strength, he was unwilling to fully activate the array and engage in a fierce clash.
If that happened, the entire market would be destroyed, causing countless casualties.
The greatest losses would still be borne by the "Shenxiao Dao Sect."
He had decided to request reinforcents!
Elder Wu Cheng swung his wide sleeve, and an Eight Trigrams altar flew out, landing in the square of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect."
"Clang..."
The ground of the square sunk an inch, cracks appeared all over the tiles, indicating the imnse weight of the Eight Trigrams altar.
As the altar hit the ground, it suddenly enlarged, becoming three ters in size.
This altar was snow-white all over, made of a special material that was neither stone nor tal, but sothing in between.
