Ye Li moved quickly and found the base of the Traveling Merchants Guild in no time.
Walking into the base of the Traveling Merchants Association, there seemed to be quite a few guests here.
Seeing Ye Li coming, the guys in the base hurriedly greeted Ye Li and said, "Welcome, sir. I wonder if you want to order goods or buy information."
Ye Li glanced at the guests around him and said softly, "Take me to see the manager of your base!"
As he spoke, Ye Li took out his token and shook it.
When the clerk saw the token in Ye Li's hand, he was stunned for a moment, then showed a look of fear and respect.
"My Lord, please follow me!!!"
The guy didn't expect that a core elder would suddenly arrive, and he was shocked.
Ye Li nodded silently, and then followed the waiter into the inner hall of the stronghold.
The waiter led Ye Li to the door of a room and knocked on it. Then the waiter said, "Master, the core elder is here!!!"
After the waiter finished speaking, Ye Li immediately heard hurried footsteps coming from the house.
With a creaky sound, the door was quickly opened and a vigorous old man appeared at the door.
"Yes... which elder is here to visit? Hu Dong failed to welcome you. I hope the elder will not blame me."
The vigorous old man walked out of the room and spoke quickly.
After a quick glance, the old man saw Ye Li.
The old man was startled when he saw Ye Li's young face, and then asked: "Is it... Is it Elder Ye?"
Hu Dong seemed a little unsure about Ye Li's identity and spoke tentatively.
Hearing this, Ye Li smiled and nodded, saying: "Yes, I am Ye Li."
Upon hearing this, Hu Dong quickly opened the door and said, "Quick... Elder Ye, please come in. San'er will go make tea for you!!!"
After Hu Dong shouted to the waiter, he invited Ye Li into the house.
After entering the room and sitting down, the waiter immediately brought hot tea and left, closing the door.
"Elder Ye, you must be here for something, right?"
Hu Dong asked tentatively.
Ye Li nodded and said, "Senior Hu, I came here to inquire about something, first of all about the Travel Merchants Association. Has anything major happened in the Travel Merchants Association recently? I haven't been around in the martial arts world for a while, so I don't know much about the situation outside."
Hearing Ye Li's words, Hu Dong was stunned for a moment, then whispered: "Elder Ye, are you worried about the Tianhun Society?"
Ye Li was stunned and asked, "How do you know?"
Hu Dong whispered: "Although there are many people from the Heavenly Soul Society in the Traveling Merchants Association, most of the stronghold managers are from the Traveling Merchants Association.
The president once told us in private about Elder Ye, so I guess you must be worried about the Tianhun Society.
Honestly speaking, the current situation is not very good. People from the Heavenly Soul Society exist all over the continent, and we are often under their surveillance.
The strength of our Traveling Merchants Guild is too weak. Although the organization is distributed over a wide area, its combat strength is still not strong.
Recently, many forces in the southwest have been controlled by the Tianhun Society, and our activities in these areas have become less safe.
Of course, the Heavenly Soul Society has no intention of attacking us for the time being, because we pose almost no threat to them."
Hearing Hu Dong's words, Ye Li nodded and said, "So what happened to the housekeeper and the Zhao family? Why are the treasure hunting pavilion and treasure pavilion in the city closed?"
Ye Li asked in confusion.
Hu Dong said: "Sir, the housekeeper and the Zhao family are in trouble. The Zhu family and the Tao family have joined forces, and it seems that people from the Tianhun Society have also joined in. It only took ten days to capture the two families.
Almost all the members of the Zhao family were captured, but one third of the housekeepers, led by the head of the housekeeper's family, escaped.
Currently, one-third of the troops are still hiding in the towering ancient forest, and the people from the Heavenly Soul Society are patrolling nearby to hunt them down."
Hearing Hu Dong's words, Ye Li's expression changed and he said, "What, the housekeeper and the Zhao family were destroyed by the Tao and Zhu families!!!?"
Hu Dong nodded and said, "Basically, it can be said that the shops of the Guanjia and Zhao families have been taken over by the Tao and Zhu families one after another.
I guess the shops here will have to change their signs soon.”
Hearing this, Ye Li's eyes were filled with solemnity.
The situation is now a bit bad. Two of the four major chambers of commerce have been destroyed, and the remaining two are all members of the Tianhun Society.
"Did you just say that one third of the housekeeper's men are still hiding in the towering ancient forest?"
Ye Li asked.
Hu Dong nodded and said, "Sir, our people have gone to investigate before, but the towering ancient forest is like a maze, and our people dare not go deep into it.
All we know is that they hid in the towering ancient forest, but we don't know their exact location.
These housekeepers are considered the last strength of the housekeepers. However, two days ago, news came that the Tao and Zhu families had sent a team of people to enter the towering ancient forest.
Their purpose is very clear, which is to hunt down the remaining people of the butler. Once they find the butler, the butler will definitely follow in the footsteps of the Zhao family. "
"How many members of the Zhao family are captured now?"
The beautiful figure of Zhao Wanyin flashed before Ye Li’s eyes, as well as Zhao Lie, with whom he hit it off at first sight.
Hu Dong thought for a moment and said, "It seems that the Zhao family has been harmed by an internal thief. All of them were poisoned by the Soul-Snatching Powder before the battle, and most of their spiritual energy disappeared. As a result, they were naturally powerless in the fight, so they were quickly captured by the Heavenly Soul Society.
The captured Zhao family members were detained in Wushuang City, and the Tao and Zhu families arranged a large number of people to guard them.
We don’t know their specific situation yet. Wushuang City has been blocked by the Tao and Zhu families, so our spies can’t get in at all, and we have no way of knowing the situation of the Zhao family.”
Hearing Hu Dong's words, Ye Li's face looked a little ugly. He was indeed a little worried about the safety of Zhao Wanyin and others.
He and the Zhao family are friends. Now that his friend is in trouble, Ye Li is indeed filled with worry.
"Okay, I know everything I need to know.
Senior Hu, I have to go. I need to go to the ancient forest. Otherwise, the housekeeper will be completely wiped out by the Tao and Zhu families. "
Hearing Ye Li's words, Hu Dong nodded and said, "I hope the elder will be more careful!!!"
Hu Dong had heard of Ye Li's strength and knew that although he looked young, his strength had already reached an unfathomable level.
Hearing this, Ye Li smiled and nodded, saying: "If you see Uncle Li and his family, remember to say hello for me. When I am free here, I will go to visit them.
You should also warn them that a great catastrophe is about to come, so that they can make preparations and evacuate the mainland when it is time.
We have bases overseas, you can ask them to arrange for their families, and I can send them all to a safe place first."
