184: Get a membership, otherwise you'll lose your way.
The brain of Jin Qianwan, Chief Manager, had completely crashed.
He had lived for over a thousand years, serving as the route manager for the Myriad Spirits Chamber of Commerce, a powerhouse at the Mid-stage Golden Immortal Realm.
What kind of scenes had he not witnessed?
Bloody star pirate feuds, Void Realm storms that devoured everything, and treacherous commercial shadow wars.
Yet, he had never seen a sight like this before, one so absurd it made him doubt his own life.
Blocking the road with an invincible fleet capable of threatening an Immortal King.
And then, using a loudspeaker to promote an opening sale?
"Chief Manager! What should we do?"
The adjutant beside him spoke with a trembling voice, his face deathly pale.
"They... they seem to be serious!"
Jin Qianwan, Chief Manager, took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the sense of absurdity in his heart.
The golden light in his eyes flared up again, staring fixedly at that Spirit Frost Divine Hall.
Atop the divine hall, that smiling fat man only had a cultivation base at the Heavenly Immortal Perfection Realm.
But behind him, the woman in a white dress sitting on the throne gave him a feeling of bottomless chill.
Mid-stage Profound Immortal.
Her Realm was clearly lower than his.
Yet that aura, that gaze of indifference toward everything, made his Divine Soul sting.
"Lunatics!"
Jin Qianwan, Chief Manager, squeezed these two words through his teeth.
"A bunch of complete and utter lunatics!"
He waved his hand violently, his voice carrying the pressure of a Golden Immortal, booming outward.
"I am Jin Qianwan, Chief Manager, of the Myriad Spirits Chamber of Commerce!"
"Your Excellency, who are you? Why are you blocking the path of our Chamber of Commerce!"
"Myriad Dao Divine Sect? Never heard of it! Move aside immediately! Otherwise, don't blame the fleet of the Myriad Spirits Chamber of Commerce for being merciless!"
His voice carried absolute confidence.
The Myriad Spirits Chamber of Commerce was a commercial giant of the Central Domain, and behind it, there was also an Immortal King holding the fort!
He did not believe the other party would dare to actually make a move!
However.
Wang Duojin, standing before the Spirit Frost Divine Hall, heard these words and felt no fear at all.
Instead, it was as if he had heard some huge joke.
He put away his sound-amplifying Magic Treasure, took out his golden abacus, and tapped away on it frantically.
"Myriad Spirits Chamber of Commerce, Jin Qianwan, Chief Manager. Hmm, noted."
He looked up, smiling amiably.
"Chief Manager Jin, it seems you still haven't grasped the situation."
"We are not negotiating with you."
"We are informing you."
"Informing?" Jin Qianwan, Chief Manager, laughed in extreme anger. "Informing me of what? Informing me to commit suicide!"
"No, no, no." Wang Duojin shook his finger. "It's to inform you that the times have changed."
After saying this, he bowed respectfully toward the divine hall behind him.
Inside the divine hall.
Su Linger, sitting on the throne, slowly lifted her eyelids.
She did not look at Jin Qianwan, Chief Manager.
Her gaze passed over the entire Myriad Spirits Chamber of Commerce fleet and cast toward the depths of the distant Shattered Star Sea.
There, there was a chaotic Star Domain composed of countless massive meteorites.
It was also the lair of the most notorious star pirates in the Shattered Star Sea, the location of the "Chaotic Star Alliance".
"Too noisy."
Her vermilion lips parted slightly, and she spat out three words.
The voice was not loud.
Yet it was clearly transmitted into the core of the divine hall.
The next moment.
Hum—
The entire Spirit Frost Divine Hall shook violently.
A beam of ice-blue light, indescribable in words, shot up from the top of the divine hall!
The beam was not thick.
Yet it contained a terrifying power sufficient to freeze time and annihilate Law!
It did not shoot toward the fleet of the Myriad Spirits Chamber of Commerce.
Instead, at a speed that transcended space and perception, it instantly tore through hundreds of millions of miles of the Star Sea!
Jin Qianwan, Chief Manager, hadn't even been able to see the trajectory of that light!
He only saw.
In the distance.
That star pirate lair, which had given the Myriad Spirits Chamber of Commerce a headache for thousands of years.
That Chaotic Star Alliance, where even Late-stage Golden Immortal powerhouses dared not step foot easily.
Silently.
It was completely covered by a layer of extreme cold frost.
Immediately after.
"Crack..."
A cracking sound, as if coming from the depths of the Soul, rang out.
That massive meteorite Star Domain.
Along with the tens of thousands of star pirates within it.
Just like that, in the eyes of Jin Qianwan, Chief Manager, who was horrified to the point of despair.
Turned into the most insignificant ice-blue dust in the Universe.
Drifting away with the wind.
One strike.
Just one strike.
A tumor that had entrenched itself for ten thousand years was completely erased.
Even the Void Realm storms in that area subsided a little because of that extreme cold.
Dead silence.
On the flagship of the Myriad Spirits Chamber of Commerce, one could hear a pin drop.
The body of Jin Qianwan, Chief Manager, was trembling violently.
The color on his face drained away completely.
That was not the power of a Golden Immortal.
It wasn't even an Immortal Lord!
That was a Supreme power capable of threatening an Immortal King!
"Now."
The voice of Wang Duojin, filled with a commercial smile, sounded again.
In his hand, he had somehow acquired an exquisite contract made of a gilded Jade Slip.
"Chief Manager Jin, can we sit down and have a proper talk about joining and becoming a member now?"
"My personal suggestion is for you to directly sign up for our Supreme Black Gold VIP package."
"Not only can you enjoy priority passage rights on the route, but you can also receive dividends from our Myriad Dao Merchant Guild every year."
"It's very cost-effective, right?"
The lips of Jin Qianwan, Chief Manager, trembled, and he couldn't say a single word.
He looked at the amiable smile on the face of Wang Duojin.
He only felt it was even more terrifying than the most dreadful devil in the abyss.
This wasn't joining at all.
This was clearly using the muzzle of an Immortal King's cannon pointed at his head, asking him:
How do you want to die?
"I... I..."
The voice of Jin Qianwan, Chief Manager, was dry and hoarse.
He knew he had no choice.
To resist would mean sharing the same fate as the Chaotic Star Alliance.
No.
The fate would be even worse.
Because the meteorites of the Chaotic Star Alliance couldn't be sold for any price.
But the cargo and ships of their fleet could.
After a long while.
He seemed to use up all the strength in his body, squeezing a few words through his teeth.
"I... will sign up..."
"Hey! That's the right attitude!"
Wang Duojin slapped his thigh, his face full of joy.
His figure flashed, and he appeared on the deck of the flagship of the Myriad Spirits Chamber of Commerce.
He personally shoved that gilded Jade Slip into the hands of Jin Qianwan, Chief Manager.
"Come, Chief Manager Jin, press your handprint here."
"From today on, you are the first Gold Partner of our Myriad Dao Express Delivery Shattered Star Sea route!"
"Congratulations on making the wisest commercial decision of your life!"
