I am a living immortal.

"you……"

The middle-aged man had a complicated expression, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that Chen Dong was not an ordinary person. He was lucky to have acquired him in the first place, but he was reluctant to give up such a cash cow.

"how do you feel?"

The middle-aged man gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!"

Of course, even if someone says yes, it's hard to tell what they really mean. But Chen Dong didn't care. Whether it was a verbal agreement or a signature, it made no difference. Words were empty words, and a signature would become nothing more than a piece of waste paper. He, Chen Dong, had his own principles.

Since he has agreed, Chen Dong will leave. It doesn’t matter whether the other party regrets it or not. The other party will definitely regret it.

But they couldn't stop themselves; what stopped them was only the morality in their hearts. The sky was high for birds to fly, the sea was wide for fish to leap, and the past grudges were now settled.

Two years is not enough for these people to fully understand themselves.

However, what he didn't expect was that this person would actually agree to such conditions. This made Chen Dong take it even more seriously. This was a huge benefit, and he had understood the principle of higher returns and greater risks since he was three years old.

It seems that the things left behind by the Demon Slayer Bureau are not simple.

I don't know which of them are not afraid of death. Speaking of which, that area was bought and sealed by the Mirage Trading Company after the Demon Slayer Bureau left.

It seems that the person who took action this time has been found.

The Shenzi Trading Company was also a major force, having come to public attention due to the Silver and Grain Corridor. It also had connections within the court, and was friendly with Wei Gelao. In the martial arts world, it even had a master-level figure in charge, with Bo Jiang Chentao still serving as the head shopkeeper. With wealth, power, and influence, such a force was more than enough to be called a regional hegemon, and it was also ranked among the top three of the six major trading companies in the Yan Dynasty.

You know, each of these six major trading companies has a century-old heritage. Compared with other trading companies, the Shenzi Trading Company is too young, which is why it is despised.

What a troublesome matter.

Chen Dong sighed. What he had just said was not a lie. This time, they really needed to fight for their lives. In a place like theirs where all kinds of people gathered, these powerful forces were well-known and no one wanted to offend them unless it was absolutely necessary.

I don't know what kind of magic potion those people fed to the middle-aged man that made him so reckless. Compared to the likes of the Mirage Company, they were on the same level as thugs.

Someone can crush you to death with just a wave of his hand.

This is indeed the case. If the person behind the scenes had not repeatedly assured them that they would take care of the guards and that all they really needed to do was open the door, the middle-aged man would not have agreed.

The reason they were chosen this time was due to Chen Dong's reputation, and also had a lot to do with their relative obscurity. You know, these behemoths have complex networks of relationships, and while they could certainly find those who were more powerful, the fame and power of these behemoths themselves were the key to their surveillance.

A single move can affect the entire body. One second you find someone, and the next second they might be alerted by your movements. Regardless of whether they attack you or not, this is the confidence of these behemoths.

If you stand high enough, many things will be no secret.

Therefore, even if the six major trading houses disliked each other, they could not do anything to each other. The rise of the Mirage Chamber of Commerce was not without obstacles, but the difference between growth and non-growth was two different things.

When the Shenzi Trading Company withstood the first wave of attacks, its subsequent plans disappeared. This can be considered an alternative way of striking the first blow to avoid a hundred.

A hegemonic power is impossible to break, not even from within, not even from the emperor, let alone the royal family. Prince Cheng is impressive, but he became a stepping stone for the Shenzi Trading Company. The Heng family, a wealthy family, vanished in a flash, which shows how valuable they are.

This time, in the eyes of the middle-aged man, it was considered a bold, enormous order. But in the eyes of the remaining five major trading houses, it was probably just to satisfy their curiosity, wanting to see what the Mirage Trading Company was up to. Success would be great, but failure would only result in the loss of a bunch of irrelevant cannon fodder, and the matter would pass without any real conflict between the trading houses.

After all, they are now paying more attention to Lin State rather than Yujiang Pass.

After figuring this out, Chen Dong sighed.

How could he not sigh? He himself was one of the cannon fodder, it was difficult. But as the middle-aged man said, there was no way to refuse.

This is the tragedy of the little people.

Chen Dong clenched his wrists as he thought of this. He was determined to become a great man, one who was second to none and above everyone else. The moment he stole a glance at Wei Ming in the crowd, it had left a mark on him. He looked ordinary, but with a single wave of his hand, he could decide the life and death of countless people.

The young man is ambitious.

.........

A few days later, Chen Dong joined a group of veterans in entering the impenetrable underground facility. The guards had been distracted by others, and the group filed in. They were led by a man wearing a mask. Unlike the iron masks of the Demon Slayers, this one was made of white lacquer wood.

Is a master.

At least that was how Chen Dong perceived it. The masked man led them in, twisting and turning, without encountering any obstacles along the way. It was mainly because Shenlong hadn't expected anyone to be curious about this place. Whether it was because he hadn't thought about it or was influenced subconsciously was unknown.

Shenlong guessed it was the latter, so he felt incredible about the state Su Mu was in. This kind of silent interference could even interfere with him. He didn't dare to think about it too much. It was unpredictable, unpredictable.

The depth of this underground facility was unknown, and no one knew how much manpower and resources had been used to dig out the space. At least they didn't know yet. Walking up the stairs, they were surrounded by warning bronze lamps.

The weak firelight could only illuminate a short distance ahead.

Even if they used the lightest footsteps, they were still noticeable in such an environment, and he could even hear his own breathing and heartbeat. Chen Dong felt inexplicably panicked, and he thought he was definitely not the only one who felt this way.

I don’t know what is hidden under the bottomless stairs.

As they went deeper, a sudden burst of light appeared ahead. This light, shining on everyone's faces, seemed not to be the dawn of victory, but a ray of light from a deeper place.

The moment you step into the light.

The dazzling light made everyone present squint their eyes. When they opened their eyes again, they were completely shocked by the scene before them and gasped.

They had never seen such a magnificent place.

Even this underground cave was shocking enough. A light from nowhere illuminated this space.
