You get Lu Bu as your starting character.

Chapter 324 Supervisor, are you alright?
Watching Cao Youxiang and his group leave, the head guard looked at the woman and the man in the corner and said, "Miss, Steward Yang, are we just going to let them leave like that?"

"A mere Life-Seizing Realm cultivator dares to plot against Miss? He's courting death."

"Should I take action and kill them outright?"

As the guard leader spoke, a fierce killing intent flashed in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Steward Yang slowly said, "Don't underestimate this mere eunuch at the Life-Seizing Realm. Although your cultivation level is higher than his, if it really comes down to a fight, you might not be able to kill him."

This Steward Yang was far more capable than Cao Youxiang, so he naturally recognized Cao Youxiang's extraordinary abilities.

Even if their guard leader's cultivation level is higher than Cao Youxiang's, when it comes to actual combat strength, it's really hard to say who is stronger.

Hearing what Steward Yang said, the head of the guards felt somewhat unconvinced.

In the eyes of the guard leader, with his strength, he could easily suppress not only a eunuch at the Life-Seizing Realm, but also anyone at the same level as him.

You can't kill a eunuch at the Life-Seizing Realm? What a joke!
However, due to Chief Steward Yang's terrifying strength, the guard leader could only suppress his resentment and dare not show it.

"forget it!"

The woman shook her head, her eyes flickering inexplicably, and it was unclear what she was thinking.

……

After leaving the courtyard where the Mu Clan Chamber of Commerce was resting, Cao Youxiang hadn't gone far when he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Cao Youxiang was injured after being thrown out of the lobby by that word "get out," but he had been enduring the pain.

Now, after Cao Youxiang had walked a distance from the courtyard, he could no longer hold back the blood in his throat and vomited it out.

"Master Supervisor, are you alright?"

The guard following behind Cao Youxiang saw Cao Youxiang spit out a mouthful of blood and immediately stepped forward to help him up.

"It's nothing, just some blood stuck in my throat, I'll be fine once I spit it out."

Cao Youxiang waved his hand to stop the foreman beside him from helping him up, and raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"I never expected that the person sitting in the inconspicuous corner would be so terrifyingly strong."

Cao Youxiang said with lingering fear.

Even now, Cao Youxiang still doesn't understand how he, a powerful expert in the Life-Seizing Realm who defies fate, could be sent flying out of the hall by that person's single word "get lost".

Originally, Cao Youxiang thought that the guard leader was the strongest among the Mu Clan merchants.

But who would have thought that the person sitting in the inconspicuous corner was actually a big shot among the Mu Clan Chamber of Commerce?

"Master, how dare these people from the Mu Clan Chamber of Commerce spout such arrogant words and disrespect His Majesty? They don't even respect our Eastern Depot. They're courting death."

"I will immediately gather men and inform Hua Xiong to lead the Flying Bear Army to capture them."

The foreman said angrily.

"Hmph, even I am no match for them, do you think you can take down those people from the Mu Clan Merchant Guild?"

Cao Youxiang glared at the foreman next to him with annoyance.

Upon hearing this, the stall owner immediately chuckled awkwardly.

This foreman knew that even Cao Youxiang, the third supervisor of the Eastern Depot, had been injured by a single voice from the Mu Clan Chamber of Commerce, let alone people like them.

If they were to actually attack the Mu Clan Chamber of Commerce, it wouldn't be long before they were completely wiped out.

However, as the head of the Eastern Depot in the Western Capital, he still had to show his loyalty when necessary.

"Master, for His Majesty, for the Eastern Depot, and even more so for you, we are willing to die for you."

The foreman said loyally.

Upon hearing this, Cao Youxiang nodded. "I know you are loyal, but I must return to Luoyang immediately to report to His Majesty regarding the Mu Clan Chamber of Commerce. You can keep an eye on them secretly for now."

After saying that, Cao Youxiang turned back and glanced at the courtyard with resentment.

Originally, when Cao Youxiang saw the young lady from the Mu Clan Chamber of Commerce, a brilliant idea flashed into his mind: he wanted to bring this stunning beauty from the Mu Clan Chamber of Commerce into the palace to supplement the emperor's harem.

Based on the beauty of this young lady from the Mu Clan Chamber of Commerce, Cao Youxiang was certain that there would be no problem for her to enter the imperial harem.

But Cao Youxiang did not expect that among these people from the Mu Clan Chamber of Commerce, there was such a terrifyingly powerful person who injured him with just a single word, "Get out."

This caused the thought that had flashed through Cao Youxiang's mind to vanish instantly.

……

royal palace.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Zhou Chen looked at Cao Zhengchun and said, "You mean, outsiders from the Mu Clan Chamber of Commerce have come to Xidu City. Is the Mu Clan Chamber of Commerce a chamber of commerce from the Wilderness Realm?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Cao Zhengchun bowed and said, "The message from the Western Capital City's Imperial Guards says that Cao Youxiang has personally gone to the Western Capital City."

Zhou Chen nodded upon hearing this.

This is truly like a pillow being delivered to someone who's just fallen asleep.

If it really is a merchant guild from the Wilderness Realm that has come to Xidu City, then we can learn about the Wilderness Realm from them.

After all, although the Great Zhou has now merged with the Wilderness Realm, Zhou Chen is still unaware of all information about the Wilderness Realm.

"How's the investigation going with those places filled with yin energy?"

Zhou Chen ignored the matter of the Mu Clan Trading Company and instead inquired about Cao Zhengchun's handling of the area with heavy yin energy.

Currently, for Zhou Chen, dealing with the aftereffects of this celestial phenomenon on the Great Zhou Dynasty is the most important thing.

As for other things, they come later.

"Your Majesty, the Eastern Depot has investigated and dealt with all the areas in Sili and nearby places with heavy yin energy."

"As for the reports from various places, Cao Shaoqin has already left Luoyang to handle them personally."

Cao Zhengchun reported.

"That's good."

Zhou Chen nodded; "Your Eastern Depot must handle this matter thoroughly, otherwise, if these strange things appear, it will cause a lot of trouble."

"At the same time, we must also increase the strength of your Eastern Depot. Simply dealing with places with strong yin energy is not enough to eliminate such strange things."

Zhou Chen said in a deep voice.

Zhou Chen knew that such strange things would be born in places with heavy yin energy.

But if we deal with places with heavy yin energy, will these ghosts and monsters no longer exist?
That's not necessarily true.

Therefore, the power of the Eastern Depot needs to be strengthened.

If such a monstrous thing were to reappear, then we would have to rely on the Eastern Depot to suppress and exterminate it.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Cao Zhengchun bowed and said.

After this serendipitous turn of events, the power of the Eastern Depot also experienced a vigorous increase.

Although the number of personnel in the Eastern Depot did not increase, its overall strength rose by more than one level.

Those guards were all recruited by Zhou Chen through his sign-in program, and they were all quite talented.

Thanks to this extraordinary opportunity, the strength of almost every guard in the factory has increased significantly.
