I am just a mortal, why do you all worship me as a saint?

Chapter 137: Could it be that we've been caught off guard and lost our boat?

The three major families in Yunling City are actually just small fry; their strongest members are only at the eighth or ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage.

However, Feng Wuxin also wanted them to express their support before they offered their assistance.

If the goal is to destroy Qingfeng Baoxing, it would be best for these three major families to step in. With these three elders standing by and giving them some momentum, Shang Xiong would have absolutely no chance of fighting back.

Golden Phoenix Treasure Shop was the driving force behind the scenes.

This way, it doesn't violate the rules of the Xuantian General Chamber of Commerce.

After that, the Golden Phoenix Treasure Company became the sole dominant force in Yunling City, and these three families could also help Feng Wuxin expand his business... a win-win situation. "Seniors, now that the three families have agreed to take action, the Azure Wind Treasure Company will have no chance of escaping. However, the Blood Shadow Envoy that Shang Xiong invited might be a problem, and that's something you'll need to handle."

After Feng Wuxin finished speaking, Lao Gu Tou and the others nodded in agreement.

This little girl has quite a comprehensive set of ideas.

……

The weather suddenly changed.

Yunling City was shrouded in gloom, and the air was filled with a faint dampness.

Feng Wuxin's confidant and the esteemed envoy of the Golden Phoenix Treasure Company are both honored guests who receive the best treatment from the three major families.

Lu family.

In the reception hall.

"...President Feng, do you want us to help destroy Qingfeng Baoxing?"

The Lu family patriarch's expression was solemn. Upon hearing the Golden Phoenix Envoy's suggestion, he naturally began to carefully consider it.

"That's right!"

The Golden Phoenix Noble nodded, his tone serious.

"The guild master said that Qingfeng Baoxing actually plotted against our distinguished guest! If we don't give an explanation for this, how can our Golden Phoenix Baoxing maintain its reputation? The guild master has also given a death order: Qingfeng Baoxing will not survive past tonight!"

"If the Lu family is willing to participate, they will benefit greatly and will definitely not suffer any losses!"

The Lu family patriarch remained silent, while the surrounding elders whispered among themselves.

Jin Huang Bao Xing wanted them to act as pawns to attack Qing Feng Bao Xing, because the rules of the merchant guild were widely known and everyone knew that Feng Wu Xin absolutely could not lead people to fight a major battle against Qing Feng Bao Xing on her own.

However, sending the three major families did exploit a loophole in the "rules." Should they get involved in the conflict between the two major financial institutions?

Getting caught in it is very dangerous.

If one chooses not to participate, it's a matter of seeking stability, but sometimes seeking stability can lead to missing out on great opportunities.

"Father."

Just as the Lu family patriarch was still pondering the matter, the second young master, Lu Yan, stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Our Lu family must participate in this matter!"

"Yan'er, your father is discussing important matters. Don't keep your mouth shut and keep talking nonsense."

When the Lu family patriarch saw his son suddenly interrupt, he frowned and reprimanded him.

My second son usually immerses himself in calligraphy and has even found a very mysterious master to be his teacher. He doesn't concern himself with family matters. Why is he acting so strangely today?

Lu Yan shook his head and looked at his father. "Father, I'm not talking nonsense. Qingfeng Baoxing has messed with the wrong person and must be eliminated! The Lu family's involvement now will only bring benefits!"

His words were so forceful and resolute that, although the Lu family patriarch was somewhat moved, he still asked, "Where did you learn that?"

"These are the words of my master!"

Lu Yan said.

Upon hearing this, the Lu family patriarch was quite surprised.

It was actually his son's mysterious master who said it? In that case, if I don't get involved, it seems like I'm being too cautious.

Then fight!

Therefore, he did not delay any longer, stood up and bowed to the Golden Phoenix Envoy.

"We, the Lu family, are willing to serve President Feng!"

The envoy was also all smiles. "Pass on my order: all the tribe's fighting force must assemble; we will depart shortly!"

The clan leader gave the order, and the elders dared not delay. They all left and began to mobilize the strength of the entire clan!

Lu Yan returned to his courtyard and looked at the old man.

"Master, my father has agreed."

Lu Yan said respectfully.

"Very good. Believe me, this matter will not harm your Lu family. Joining now will bring many benefits. In the future, your Lu family can even expand its territory."

Old Gu stroked his beard and said with a smile.

"Yes, I know!"

Lu Yan said solemnly, then sighed and said, "That Qingfeng Baoxing actually dared to attack Senior Gu's disciple. They really don't know what's good for them!"

Although he had only met Gu Heng once, Gu Heng's calm and collected demeanor left a deep impression on him. He wondered how anyone dared to cross his bottom line and do such an ungrateful thing.

Old Gu's expression darkened slightly, his gaze distant.

"Ah, ignorance is bliss. They won't wake up until disaster strikes."

Half an hour later.

At the Golden Phoenix Treasure Shop, Feng Wuxin received three letters and nodded.

"Very good, all three major families are participating!"

Without delay, Feng Wuxin immediately replied, ordering the three major families to mobilize and surround the location of Qingfeng Baoxing.

Once the letters were in place, the gates of the high-walled courtyards in the west, north, and east of the city suddenly opened wide, allowing most people to see the patriarchs of the three major families, each leading a formidable family force, their faces grim and murderous!

Seeing this, pedestrians quickly made way for them.

"What...is this going on?" "These three major families have mobilized all their forces!"

"Hurry, hurry! The world in Yunling City is about to change drastically!"

Unrest broke out everywhere in Yunling City, while the city lord's mansion, though still tightly closed, had sent out its spies.

The City Lord of Yunling City was also eager to know what these three families were up to.

……

Qingfeng Baoxing.

At the main gate of Baoxing, countless people came and went, carrying boxes of spirit stones inside.

Shang Xiong was in the main hall, counting the number of spirit stones that had been delivered.

They just collected about 1.2 million spirit stones.

He sold most of the assets under his Baoxing Group, and even sent people outside Yunling City to ask those small gangs and factions that ruled the mountains for spirit stones. In addition, he also sold off Shang Xiong's own savings for his coffin, as well as the assets of all the senior executives of Baoxing Group...

Two million spirit stones, that's barely enough to scrape together.

Meanwhile, the Blood Shadow Envoy sat in a high position, sipping tea and watching with great interest as Shang Xiong struggled to collect spirit stones.

"President Shang, judging by the time, my companion should be back soon."

Blood Shadow Envoy slowly made his way down the road.

Shang Xiong suddenly shuddered, cold sweat continuing to pour down his back. He turned around, bowing with a forced smile and clasping his hands in a gesture of respect: "Don't worry, two million spirit stones, absolutely!"

"Oh? I hope we can gather them all soon." Blood Shadow Envoy said with a smile.

Shang Xiong quickly wiped his sweat and nodded, indicating that he would be there soon.

Blood Shadow looked at Shang Xiong with eyes as deep as the sea. In fact, he also felt that something was wrong.

His companion, a ninth-level Nascent Soul cultivator, was skilled in assassination and also proficient in direct combat, and had never failed. How could he have gone to kill a Core Formation stage girl and not returned yet?

Surely we won't end up sinking in a ditch?

In this anxious and doubtful wait...

A loud noise came from the doorway, and a blood-red figure rushed into the store and stopped in the main hall.

Upon seeing the utterly disheveled and weak figure, Blood Shadow Envoy's expression changed drastically!

Even the teacup in his hand instantly turned to dust!
