The poorest member of the Imperial Guard, the Empress begged me to embezzle.

Is the head of the Qitian Chamber of Commerce here?

A general from the Imperial Guard, riding a blood-red warhorse and completely shrouded in armor except for his eyes, looked at the entire Qitian Chamber of Commerce and spoke in a cold, sharp voice.

This voice resounded like thunder throughout the entire Qitian Chamber of Commerce.

The sound was so powerful that countless people were dizzy and their scalps tingled.

"Qian Zhenbei, the head of the Qitian Chamber of Commerce, greets this general."

"I wonder what brings this general to lead such a large army to surround my Qitian Chamber of Commerce today?"

"If there are any wanted criminals in my Qitian Chamber of Commerce, I am willing to help you capture them, General. I only hope that you will not disturb our guests."

A figure rose into the air from within the Qitian Chamber of Commerce and appeared before its gates. He cupped his hands in greeting to the general of the Imperial Guard and spoke.

This figure was a middle-aged man in a brocade robe, tall and imposing, with an extraordinary presence.

On the surface, this person doesn't seem like a businessman at all.

However, this person happens to be the head of the Qitian Chamber of Commerce.

The entire Qitian Chamber of Commerce within the Great Zhou Dynasty belonged to this person.

Swish!Swish!Swish!

One figure after another appeared behind Qian Zhenbei.

There were more than ten of them.

Each of them exuded a terrifying aura, clearly indicating that they were retainers of the Qitian Chamber of Commerce.

Moreover, these people have one thing in common: their cultivation level has reached the Immortal Ascension Realm!

"Peak of the ninth level of the Immortal Realm?"

The general of the capital garrison seemed to have seen through Qian Zhenbei's cultivation level at a glance, and said calmly.

As for the dozen or so retainers of the Qitian Chamber of Commerce, he didn't even glance at them.

"May I ask who the general is?"

Qian Zhenbei's eyes narrowed, and he looked at the general of the Beijing garrison and asked.

One can tell his cultivation level at a glance; from this alone, one can know that this general of the capital garrison has a very high cultivation level.

He's at least taller than him!

They have already stepped into the true realm of heaven and man!

Throughout the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, there were very few beings at the Celestial Realm.

Even though the capital garrison of the Great Zhou Dynasty was one of the most elite armies in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.

However, there are very few generals who can reach the Celestial Realm level!

Many young masters from prominent families, powerful clans, and wealthy merchants in the Qitian Chamber of Commerce also looked at this general from the Beijing Garrison with great curiosity.

The main problem was that this general from the Beijing garrison was fully armored, making it impossible to see his face.

This is a characteristic of the Beijing Garrison.

The armor worn by the generals of the capital garrison all had face shields, which could cover their cheeks.

Unless you are someone you know very well, you can't tell who someone is just by their voice.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to recognize their true identity.

"Xie Xuan!"

The general of the Beijing garrison said indifferently.

"Xie Xuan?"

"General Xie Xuan, who quelled the bandits?"

"Hiss... I never expected it to be this deputy general of the Beijing garrison, who is known as the butcher."

"Terrifying! General Xie Xuan actually came in person. Could it be that the Qitian Chamber of Commerce is really hiding a wanted criminal?"

"Who knows? But for General Xie Xuan, who is second only to General Zhao Wuyang in the Beijing Garrison, to come in person, it must be something important!"

"..."

The young masters from prominent families, powerful clans, and wealthy merchants gasped in shock, staring at Xie Xuan with expressions of astonishment.

However, knowing Xie Xuan's identity actually put them at ease.

Even if these people came from the Five Clans and Seven Noble Families, and were the direct descendants of those families, it was impossible for someone like General Xie Xuan to personally come and arrest them.

As for whether there are any wanted criminals hidden within the Qitian Chamber of Commerce, what kind of wanted criminals could harm them in front of General Xie Xuan?

"I was unaware of General Xie's presence. I apologize for not welcoming you properly."

"General Xie, please speak frankly about the purpose of your visit today. Our Qitian Chamber of Commerce has always abided by the law and will fully cooperate with you!"

Qian Zhenbei cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Xie Xuan and said with a serious expression.

"My mission this time is very simple: to capture all the important figures of your Qitian Chamber of Commerce in the capital."

“Especially you, Qianzhenbei.”

Xie Xuan said calmly.

"General Xie, are you mistaken?"

"Our Qitian Chamber of Commerce has always abided by the law and has not violated the laws of our Great Zhou Dynasty."

"His Highness Prince Qi can attest to this for our Qitian Chamber of Commerce!"

Qian Zhenbei's expression changed slightly, his face darkening as he coldly said, "General Xie, do you wish to make an enemy of His Highness Prince Qi?"

The dozen or so Qitian Chamber of Commerce retainers behind Qian Zhenbei became tense, their eyes turning wary as they looked at Xie Xuan.

"Do it!"

Upon hearing this, Xie Xuan glanced at Qian Zhenbei with disdain and said calmly.

Boom!

The words just fell!

The Beijing garrison, which had surrounded the entire Qitian Chamber of Commerce, stormed into the chamber from different directions.

Two deputy generals of the Beijing Garrison, each leading a group of officers of the Beijing Garrison, formed separate military formations.

"let's go!"

"General Xie, I will definitely inform His Highness Prince Qi about your decision to lead the capital garrison to attack my Qitian Chamber of Commerce!"

Qian Zhenbei gritted his teeth and said something to Xie Xuan. With a wave of his hand, he moved like lightning and stepped into the air.

One by one, the retainers of the Qitian Chamber of Commerce took to the air and followed Qian Zhenbei as he tried to leave.

Although they were not weak, they could not help but be wary of Xie Xuan's reputation as a butcher.

More importantly, if they take action, they will be betraying the entire Great Zhou Dynasty and will be suppressed by the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.

If they don't flee now, as long as they reach the Prince Qi's residence and have His Highness's protection, they will be able to survive.

It's not impossible that we could even reclaim the Qitian Chamber of Commerce with His Highness Prince Qi's help.

"Want to go?"

"You've forgotten what I said, I'm here to arrest you!"

"Who gave you the audacity to try and run away from me, the general?"

Seeing Qian Zhenbei and the others take to the air, Xie Xuan shook his head. He gripped a black spear on his horse's back with his right hand and swung it at Qian Zhenbei and the others from a distance, as if swatting flies.

Boom!

The entire world seemed to have been shattered by Xie Xuan's shot!

A massive spear-like force slammed down towards Qian Zhenbei and the others!

Bang!Bang!Bang!

A series of deafening explosions echoed throughout the capital city!

Just like dumplings being dropped into a pot, one by one, the Qitian Chamber of Commerce's retainers were knocked down from the sky and landed in front of Xie Xuan.

Only one person managed to block Qian Zhenbei's shot!

This person is none other than Qian Zhenbei, the head of the Qitian Chamber of Commerce, who is at the peak of the ninth level of the Immortal Ascension Realm!

only!

At this moment, Qian Zhenbei had transformed into an enormous black tiger.

Human head and tiger body!

A terrifying aura erupted from Qian Zhenbei, as if it were about to suppress the entire world!
