The headquarters of Bamian Trading Company.
In the spacious and magnificent hall, more than twenty people were sitting upright in their seats, some with their eyes slightly closed, some looking around, some talking in low voices, and so on.
In a corner of the lobby, there were several figures sitting with unsightly expressions.
It was Yan Jiujiang, the great elder of the Bamian Trading Company, and several direct descendants of the Qingyun Patriarch, even Huang Ying was among them.
Huang Ying's eyes wandered, but mostly fell on Chen Lin and Zhang Zhenqian. It was unknown what she was thinking.
Chen Lin and three others sat together and talked in low voices.
Originally, they used the method of transmitting sound, but later, in order to show that the five friends of Tiancang had formed an alliance, Lu Xiaoyin stopped transmitting sound and his voice became much higher, which attracted the attention of those present.
Chen Lin was not happy with this kind of high-profile move, but since they had formed an alliance, he did need to let others know, so that those who had ulterior motives towards him would become wary.
Not only is it beneficial to him, but Qin Lingyu and others will also benefit from it.
After talking for a while and achieving their goal, Lu Xiaoyin stopped talking and sat on the chair with his eyes slightly closed, as if he was tired and wanted to take a rest.
Chen Lin quietly looked at the people present, and then sent a message to Zhang Zhenqian and Yue Tian to ask for their information.
"Brother, do you know these people? Introduce them to me, so I can know who they are."
Chen Lin conveyed the message to Zhang Zhenqian, since they were sworn brothers, there was no need to be polite.
The corner of Zhang Zhenqian's mouth twitched, but he still slowly transmitted the message and introduced all the monks he knew.
He had been the head of the Bamian Trading Company for many years and knew almost everyone present. He spent nearly half an hour introducing them to each other and secretly complained that this sworn brotherhood was unreliable, otherwise he would have to ask for some compensation for such information. When Chen Lin had killed him before, he had been ruthless.
Chen Lin listened and nodded secretly, very satisfied.
At the same time, I also saw what it means that money can move people's hearts.
Everyone present was a powerful person, basically they were all in the Void Refinement Realm. The few Spirit Transformation Realm cultivators were also representatives of various major forces.
People of this status also put aside their dignity and engaged in acts of plunder and robbery.
However, the Bamian Trading Company has been in business for countless years and owns countless rare treasures, so it is inevitable that people will be tempted.
In the past, due to the peaceful cultivation atmosphere of this world and the fact that Patriarch Qingyun was very good at networking, the relationship could be maintained. But now that Patriarch Qingyun has been missing for a long time and no one knows whether he is dead or alive, the relationship has faded.
Moreover, after the great changes, the delicate balance of forces among all parties was broken, and this piece of fat meat was clearly lying here. No matter who took action, the descendants of Qingyun Patriarch such as Yan Jiujiang would definitely not be able to hold on to it.
Yan Jiujiang and others also knew this and had always wanted to find a powerful Void Refining expert to support them.
It was originally conducted in secret, and only people with reliable character were contacted.
However, when the news leaked, several powerful men immediately expressed their willingness to support the company, but Yan Jiujiang and others did not dare to agree. Not to mention that these people had impure motives, once they agreed, they would be inviting a wolf into the house. And who to agree to and who not to agree to would also be a problem. If they were not handled properly and angered a certain powerful man, they would be in danger of being killed.
In desperation, they could only send out invitations, inviting all parties to come to negotiate, and give up all the interests of the company and let these powerful people distribute them themselves, and only ensure their safety.
Of course, they also left a lot of treasures in advance, enough for them to practice for a long time.
After Chen Lin knew the inside story, he was also deeply saddened.
Yan Jiujiang had contacted him before through someone and invited him to be the company's patron, but he refused.
At that time, he still showed to the outside world that he had reached the perfection of the Spirit Transformation Realm, and he only had a record of killing the ancestor Ling Tian. The other party found him either because they were desperate or because they thought he was not a Void Refinement cultivator. The other party could still control the discourse power of the business and would not be usurped by others.
But he knew very well that Bamian Trading Company was a big piece of fat meat, and his small body could not hold it steady, so he naturally would not agree.
While he was thinking, the crowd suddenly became quiet and everyone looked towards the door.
Chen Lin also looked at him sideways.
I saw a group of people walking in slowly from outside. The person leading them was dressed in palace clothes, dignified and elegant. It was Xin Shangxiu, the head of the Xin family.
Two men followed beside him, also looking very imposing.
Chen Lin also knew them. One was Ba Yeyu, the president of the Elders' Council of Wanling Mountains, and the other was Duanmu Jue, the supreme elder of Zhenyi Sect of Beiyuan Continent.
These three people appeared together in Tianyi Sect last time, and now they are together again, it is obvious that they have formed an alliance.
Xin Yueling and two other men followed behind the three men. They also had powerful auras and it was obvious that they were all in the Void Refinement Realm.
The combination of these six people is extremely powerful. If the Resurrectors had not appeared, they would have been able to dominate the Lingyuan Continent.
All the monks present immediately stood up and greeted him. Xin Shangxiu had accumulated power for a long time, and no one dared to neglect him.
Xin Yueling glanced at Chen Lin and the others and nodded slightly.
Xin Shangxiu seemed to be trying to be friendly and greeted everyone with a smile, but before they could sit down, another group of people walked in.
When Chen Lin saw these people, his eyes suddenly narrowed.
The person in the lead was a woman, completely different from Xin Shangxiu. She was not dignified at all, but rather charming and seductive. She was wearing a thin gauze that made her scenery vaguely visible, and her eyes were full of provocation. She didn't look like a decent girl at all.
It was Madam Miaoyin.
As soon as she appeared, the monks' attitude was even more enthusiastic than when they just welcomed Xin Shangxiu.
They all quickly went over to greet him.
Although they are both at the seventh level of Dao Yun, Madam Miaoyin's reputation is much greater than Xin Shangxiu's.
Even Chen Lin had to admit this.
The opponent is the only strong man who can fight against the Resurrected One head-on so far. He has become the spiritual leader among the monks and even boasted that he would form a monk alliance.
However, because those who have been resurrected have never shown up, many powerful forces are waiting and watching, and this alliance has not been formed for the time being.
"Fifth brother, did you see the red-haired man next to Madam Miaoyin? That's Ye Hongdao. He is extremely powerful in combat and has a cold and arrogant personality. Be careful if you meet him in the future."
Chen Lin was looking around when he heard Lu Xiaoyin sending him a message.
Although he was speechless about the title of "Fifth Brother", the other party's caring behavior still warmed his heart. It was indeed a bit like the meaning of an elder sister.
It’s just that this elder sister is a little small.
Chen Lin nodded slightly to show that he understood, and his expression became solemn.
Although I don't know this person, the name Ye Hongdao is well-known. He is a powerful man of the ninth level of Dao Yun and the pinnacle of cultivation in this world. It is hard not to know him.
However, he did not quite agree with Lu Xiaoyin's evaluation of this man. As he walked, it was obvious that he was centered around Madam Miaoyin. How could a man who could be accepted under the command of a woman like Madam Miaoyin be so arrogant
After Madam Miaoyin came in, she looked around, paused at Chen Lin, then chuckled and looked at Xin Shangxiu.
"Haha, why are you walking so fast, Sister Xin? You didn't even ask me to wait for you. I'm only interested in men. Are you afraid that I'll eat you up
As she spoke, she walked gracefully in front of Xin Shangxiu, as if they were very intimate.
Xin Shangxiu glanced at her and said calmly, "Madam is now at the peak of her career and she doesn't need someone to serve her, so I didn't go up to disturb her. I hope Madam will forgive me."
Without waiting for Madam Miaoyin to speak, she continued, "However, with your status as a madam, why would you come to such a mercenary place in person? Can't you just send one of your men over? Who here would dare not give you face?"
When he mentioned the word "subordinates", Xin Shangxiu took a deep look at the red-haired man next to him.
A hint of embarrassment suddenly flashed across the red-haired man's eyes, and he looked at Xin Shangxiu with coldness, but Xin Shangxiu just smiled sarcastically and ignored him.
Chen Lin saw this scene and immediately sent a message to Lu Xiaoyin: "It seems that Ye Hongdao and the head of the Xin family have some conflicts. Do you know the situation?"
When two top warriors fight, no one can guarantee that they will not be affected, so some things need to be clarified.
Lu Xiaoyin chuckled and said, "Rumor has it that these two were once lovers, but later broke up for some unknown reason. Now Ye Hongdao is actually involved with Madam Miaoyin. It would be strange if Chief Xin was happy."
Chen Lin couldn't help but marvel at the existence of such a secret.
At the same time, I also felt that there would be problems at today's gathering and that a fight might break out.
But he was also very confused. How could people of Madam Miaoyin and Xin Shangxiu's status come here in person
Although the Bamian Trading Company has amassed a lot of wealth, it is only attractive to independent cultivators and general forces like them. To such powerful people, it is dispensable and they would not lose face to fight for it.
Feeling confused, he sent a message to Lu Xiaoyin to ask.
Lu Xiaoyin shook his head and replied, "I don't know either, but it seems there is something behind this matter. Watch my instructions later."
Chen Lin was speechless for a while.
This woman is like a completely different person after becoming the eldest sister. She used to pretend to be young, but now she pretends to be old.
The other party was not very reliable, and Chen Lin did not count on him, but sent a message to Zhang Zhenqian and Yue Tianyi.
But these two people didn't know the inside story.
Zhang Zhenqian sent a message, "Fifth brother and Third sister have a good relationship, why not send a message to Third sister, she will definitely know."
Chen Lin didn't know what to say. This guy with thick eyebrows, big eyes and a rough appearance had also turned bad.
Since the other party called him sister and brother so naturally, he naturally had to follow suit. However, since he was the fifth child, he could only call them brother and sister. After that, it was natural for the other party to order him about anything.
So he simply pretended not to hear.
Zhang Zhenqian waited for a while and saw that Chen Lin's eyes were slightly closed, he was drowsy, and his face was dark.
But before he could send another message, he felt a terrifying aura suddenly appear, and then black fog rolled in, and the whole hall was shrouded in black fog.
Everyone was shocked, and Chen Lin immediately flew up. His soul armor technique was instantly activated, and at the same time, tiny green vines appeared on his body!
