Chapter 492 Shocks the Entire Cultivation World
Silence fell once more within the hall. The crowd exchanged glances, their anger gradually fading, replaced by solemnity and hesitation.
Finally, everyone's eyes fell on Ancestor Lingtian.
Ling Tian's face was so gloomy it could drip water, but Ling Qing's words were all reasonable. As the president of Wanbaoge, he could not act impulsively.
After a long silence, Ancestor Lingtian said in a deep voice, "Elder Lingqing is right! We must not act rashly in this matter!"
"Pass down the order to seal off news of Xuanming's fall. Send a large number of intelligence personnel to the Northwest Region to investigate the Star Pavilion Chamber of Commerce, find out the girl's identity, and uncover the forces behind the Star Pavilion Chamber of Commerce!"
"President!"
The hot-tempered elder couldn't help but shout.
"No need to say more!"
Ancestor Lingtian waved his hand, interrupting him, "My mind is made up! We must not act rashly before we have thoroughly investigated the Star Pavilion Chamber of Commerce! The millennia-old foundation of my Myriad Treasures Pavilion must not be destroyed in my hands!"
His voice was resolute.
Northwest Region.
The news that Wanbaoge's mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator and three peak Nascent Soul cultivators had been killed by the Xingge Chamber of Commerce spread like wildfire throughout the Northwest Region, causing an uproar in the entire cultivation world of the Northwest Region.
Zhao Chaohan, the patriarch of the Zhao family, the number one family in the cultivation world, suddenly stood up from his chair, and the teacup in his hand fell to the ground with a "clatter" and shattered.
His eyes widened, his face filled with shock: "Protector Xuanming? The mid-stage Nascent Soul Protector of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion was killed by the Star Pavilion Merchant Guild? And three peak Nascent Soul elders as well?"
The guard who came to report nodded repeatedly: "Yes! Patriarch, the news is absolutely true! It is said that Protector Xuanming led three elders to cause trouble at the Star Pavilion Merchant Guild, but they were all wiped out by the other side!"
Zhao Chaohan felt his head go blank with a "buzz".
Who is the Xuanming Protector?
That was a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Wanbao Pavilion, a god-like figure in the Northwest Region.
Not to mention the Zhao family, even the head or elder of the Hunyuan Sect, which ranks first in the Northwest Region, would be extremely respectful when they see Xuanming.
The Star Pavilion Chamber of Commerce was just a small chamber of commerce that had risen to prominence a few months ago. Yet it dared to attack the people of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion and even killed a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator and three peak Nascent Soul cultivators in one fell swoop.
This is absolutely incredible!
Zhao Chaohan's heart pounded wildly.
"Quickly! Pass down the order!"
Everyone in the Zhao family, behave yourselves and don't provoke the Star Pavilion Chamber of Commerce!
Also, all the cultivation resources our Zhao family needs will be purchased from the Star Pavilion Merchant Guild! Remember! Your attitude must be respectful!
The man dared not delay and immediately responded and left.
Not only the Zhao family, but all the major sects in the Northwest Region are like this.
The main hall of the Hunyuan Sect.
The sect leader, Hunyuanzi, sat in the main seat with a solemn expression.
Below, the elders were all silent, not daring to even breathe.
"Star Pavilion Merchant Guild..."
What a fine Star Pavilion Merchant Guild!
Slaying a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator—that's terrifying!
An elder swallowed hard and said in a trembling voice, "Sect Leader, just what is the background of this Star Pavilion Merchant Guild? How can it possess such terrifying strength?"
"I don't know either." Hunyuanzi shook his head. "But one thing is certain: the Star Pavilion Chamber of Commerce is definitely not to be trifled with!"
What kind of power is Wanbaoge? It is the most prestigious merchant guild in the Tianyuan Continent, with a history of ten thousand years and immense strength.
The fact that the Xingge Chamber of Commerce dared to defy the powerful and kill the Nascent Soul Protector of Wanbaoge shows that they are not afraid of Wanbaoge's retaliation at all!
Wanbaoge has not sent troops to retaliate so far, but instead has scaled back its business in the Northwest region.
This further demonstrates that Wanbaoge is also wary of the power behind Xingge Chamber of Commerce!
These words caused an uproar in the hall.
How terrifying must a force be that even Wanbaoge fears!
"Sect Leader, what should we do?"
"Pass down the order! All disciples of the sect, whether inner or outer disciples, are forbidden from engaging in conflict with the Star Pavilion Merchant Guild!"
Furthermore, all cultivation resources of the sect will be purchased from the Star Pavilion Merchant Guild from now on!
A higher price is fine!
Furthermore, send someone to the Star Pavilion Chamber of Commerce with generous gifts to express the goodwill of our Hunyuan Sect!
"Yes! Leader!"
The elders responded in unison.
Huashan Sect, Yunwu Sect, Bishui Sect...
All the major sects in the Northwest Region made the same choice as the Hunyuan Sect and the Zhao Family at the first opportunity.
In an instant, the entire Northwest Region was filled with unease, and all sects strictly forbade their disciples from provoking the Star Pavilion Merchant Guild.
Meanwhile, the warehouse managers of various sects flocked to the Star Pavilion Merchant Guild, vying to purchase cultivation resources.
At the entrance of the Xingge Chamber of Commerce, there was a constant flow of cars and people.
The Star Pavilion Chamber of Commerce was already doing quite well, but after this incident, it became even more popular.
Elixirs, magical artifacts, runes, array materials...
Everything that Xingge Chamber of Commerce had was snapped up.
Inside the chamber of commerce, the disciples responsible for reception were extremely busy.
As Wanbaoge scaled back its business in the Northwest Region, Xingge Chamber of Commerce became even more dominant, monopolizing the cultivation resource market in the Northwest Region, and its strength and influence grew day by day.
The news that Wanbaoge's mid-stage Nascent Soul Guardian had been killed and that Wanbaoge had remained inactive was not kept secret for long.
Soon, the news spread throughout the entire Tianyuan Continent.
In an instant, the entire cultivation world of Tianyuan Continent was shaken.
Misty Peak is shrouded in clouds and mist, exuding an ethereal aura.
Deep within the sect, in a suspended palace, several elderly men with white hair and beards sat together, sipping tea and discussing philosophy.
Suddenly, a disciple rushed in, his face full of shock, and shouted, "Ancestors! Something terrible has happened! News has come from the Northwest Region that Xuanming Protector of Wanbao Pavilion has been killed by a force called Xingge Chamber of Commerce!"
"puff!"
An old man spat out the tea he had just drunk. "What did you say? Xuanming? Xuanming, the mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator from Wanbao Pavilion? Killed by a merchant guild?"
"Absolutely true!" The disciple nodded hurriedly and recounted the news in detail. "Three peak Nascent Soul elders who were with them were also killed! What's even more outrageous is that after Wanbaoge learned of this, they didn't retaliate immediately. Instead, they scaled back their business in the Northwest Region!"
"hiss!"
The old men's expressions changed drastically, their eyes filled with disbelief.
“Star Pavilion Merchant Guild?” An old man in white frowned. “I’ve never heard of this name before. A small merchant guild that can kill a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator and go against the Myriad Treasures Pavilion? This is simply a fantasy!”
"Indeed! I have witnessed Xuanming's strength before. He is a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator with incredibly powerful cultivation. Even I would have to put in a lot of effort to kill him. How could an unknown little merchant guild possibly do it?"
Another old man said.
"I'm afraid that the Star Pavilion Chamber of Commerce has a powerful force backing it up."
An elderly man with a simple, ancient face said.
That makes sense.
"I wonder what kind of force is behind the Star Pavilion Chamber of Commerce that makes the Myriad Treasures Pavilion so wary?"
A look of intense curiosity appeared on everyone's faces.
