Chapter 127: Sword Drawn and Ready (Fifth Update! Please Download!)
At the same time, Taiyan Jiucheng left Lihuo City.
Kang Peng sat in the original Qi Fu, handling various inventory quantities, delivery orders, purchase orders and so on. These numbers that made Su Zhen anxious were handled by Kang Peng in an orderly and steady manner.
Before I knew it, it was afternoon.
Ma Tian Shi walked in and said, "The largest business firm in Wu Cheng, 'Jue Yao Business Firm', has joined the Lihuo Alliance and established a common channel. From now on, all major business firms in the nine cities have joined the Lihuo Alliance. Every move is under our control."
Lihuo Alliance was founded by Kang Peng.
The goal is to have all well-known business establishments in Jiucheng District under unified management and allocation, just like Junzidang.
It's just the brain.
All businesses are limbs, and everything has to go through the "Li Huo Alliance" for approval.
Equivalent to having complete control over Taiyan Nine Cities.
"Taiyan Jiucheng itself is as solid as gold, but external troubles have not been eliminated. Su Shidi killed the three Sun brothers, and it's possible that Zhushan Jiao will retaliate. We should still expedite our merger with Yinquhe. As long as the members of the Holy King Party on the Yinquhe side establish a common mechanism with us, unless there is a large-scale attack from within Zhushan Jiao, we will be as stable as Mount Tai." Kang Peng unfolded the map to take a look.
The sphere of influence of the Holy King Party is in the Blackwater Ridge and Parrot River areas.
The Parrot River is close to Taiyinjiu City.
But even so, from the Parrot River to Taiyanjiu City, it would take more than a dozen days of flight, unless a relay station is established and reinforcements are left at the relay station in advance, in order to gallop between the two places at the fastest speed.
Heishanling and Yingwu River have several transfer stations, the fastest can reinforce within three hours.
Taiyanjiu City is not available yet, but after communicating with Kangpeng and Yujing River, it is being built at a rapid pace, and the first one is expected to be completed within three months.
"Will Zhushan Jiao dare to retaliate? Are you overthinking?"
Ma Tian Shi smiled and said, "Su Shidi's combat strength is unmatched, he can even kill three people who have achieved the sixth level of rebirth, which of the Bamboo Mountain Sect would dare to send someone to their death!"
"It's better if you don't come, but if you do, it'll be a top-notch, high-level showdown."
Kang Peng didn't believe that Zhushan Sect dared to retaliate, after all, Taiyan Ninth City was within the sphere of influence of Wanxiang Sect. If Zhushan Sect really launched a large-scale attack, it would mean war between the two sects!
This is no trivial matter.
However, for some reason, Kang Peng has been feeling uneasy and anxious in the past few days, as if something bad is going to happen. He instructed: "But being cautious can't go wrong. Pass on the message and tell the brothers to be careful during this period. If there's a problem, report immediately."
"Good."
Ma Tian Shi thought it was unnecessary but still agreed and turned around to pass on the message.
"When will Su Shi return?"
Kang Peng pressed his temples, muttering to himself. He didn't know when it started, but Su Zhen had become someone he needed to look up to; as long as Su Zhen was around, Kang Peng felt at ease.
……
……
One month later.
"Something's wrong, Zhushan Jiao's revenge has come!"
Ma Tian Shi rushed into the study, panting heavily and said: "Master, something is terribly wrong! According to the news from Wu Cheng, a powerful expert has been sent by Zhu Shan Jiao, arriving on a flying boat. He challenged the brothers of Wu Cheng and killed eight of them with one move, leaving one alive to deliver a message saying that Su Shi Di should come out and die! Wu Cheng has been taken over by him, and the merchants of Mao Yao have surrendered, even sending people to empty the warehouse in Wu Cheng and transport everything to Hai Huang City!"
"One move kills eight brothers?"
Kang Peng's face changed drastically, and he suddenly stood up: "I wonder what cultivation he has!"
"Not clear."
Ma Tian Shi's eyes had a look of shock: "The brothers guarding Wu City were all Triple Rebirth, but they only felt the opponent's true energy was as thick as the sea, and they were instantly killed."
His voice was trembling slightly.
He is a fourth-level cultivator who has gone through three rebirths, and it's no problem for him to take down three third-level cultivators. But when he encounters an eighth-level cultivator, he will undoubtedly die. Yet his opponent can kill him with just one move, how strong must that be? Even if he himself were to encounter such an opponent, he would also be killed in one move.
"I knew it."
Kang Peng's face sank, he had expected that the Bamboo Mountain Sect would retaliate and certainly send a top-notch master. Unfortunately, the relay station on the parrot river side was not yet built, and even if they wanted to ask for help, it would take some time to arrive.
"Where is he now? In Wu City or some other city?" asked Kang Peng.
"It's said that after handing over Wu Cheng to Jue Yao Shang Hang, he headed towards Yue Ya City."
"Immediately notify the brothers of Moon Tooth City to retreat... No! All members of Gentleman's Hall in every city are to withdraw to Fire City and inform Parrot River, telling them to send reinforcements as soon as possible! Tell them that the enemy is extremely powerful, estimated to have combat strength comparable to the top ten of the Mountain River List. The number of rescuers must be numerous!"
"Are all other cities yielding?"
"Can we hold on?" Kang Peng's face was as gloomy as rain: "As long as the green mountain is there, we won't worry about having no firewood to burn. I'm just afraid that even if we retreat to Li Huo City, we still can't stop those evil cultivators from Zhu Shan."
Five days later.
The entire Junzi Hall gathered at the Fire City, standing solemnly on the city wall. Led by Kang Peng and Ma Tian Shi, four top-notch masters, the other members stood in formation. Originally a dominant force in the secular world, they were all feeling oppressed at this moment, with several timid members' bodies trembling slightly.
At this time, an old shopkeeper ran up and handed a letter to Kang Peng.
Kang Peng opened it and his face became even darker.
"What's going on?" Ma Tian Shi asked.
"Except for Lihuo City, the other eight cities have all fallen. The remaining relatives of the five major families and the medium-sized merchants in each city have fled to Haihuang City with their inventory. According to reports, that evil cultivator has set out towards Lihuo City. If we can't hold on, Su Shidi's hard work will be completely lost." Kang Peng's true energy churned in his palm as he crumpled the letter bearing the bad news into powder and let it scatter in the wind.
"Damn it!" Ma Tianxiong cursed under his breath.
As a former member of the Junzi Pavilion who dared to venture into the icy wilderness, Ma Tianxiong was not afraid of death, but losing the empire built by others made him feel ashamed. Moreover, there was another point, that is, until now, he still didn't know what kind of cultivation the evil cultivator from Zhushan Sect had achieved!
Others have occupied eight cities, but our side doesn't even know how many fortresses they have built?
What's going on here!
This situation made Ma Tianxiong feel both helpless and ashamed.
But what is unknown often inspires fear, and many ordinary members of the Gentleman's Hall are filled with endless fears.
Just at this time ——
A black dot appeared in the sky, growing larger and larger from afar until it finally revealed its true form!
It was originally a one-zhang-long, canoe-like flying boat composed of countless parts, with a strong mechanical feel. The flying boat scattered soft light underneath, carrying it as it flew through the air. On the flying boat stood a person, wearing a dark green cloak, his entire body shrouded in shadows, making it impossible to see his face, but it was clear that he had a sturdy physique.
"Here!" The members of Junzi Hall's faces tensed up.
Hiss!
The flying boat stopped fifty zhang away from the city wall and descended to a height level with the city wall.
The man on the boat pulled down his hood, revealing a cold and gloomy young face. He gazed at the people of Junzi Hall from afar: "Are you the disciples of the Wanxiang Sect stationed in Taiyan Ninth City? Who is Su Zhen? Step forward."
