89: Chapter 48 Attack

President Liu Yishou looked at Yao Shuang, stunned.

The latter then slowly explained:

"Fellow Daoist Liu, do not misunderstand. It is not that I do not understand the situation."

"The truth is, the opening of the Central Plains trade route was a joint decision made by the big figures behind the The Three Sects."

"Naturally, the Golden Core Master of the Liu Family agreed as well."

"Furthermore, the Yao Clan promised Fellow Daoist Wang back then that we would continue to carry out his will in the future."

After Yao Shuang finished speaking, he slapped a Dao contract onto the table.

Looking at the names on it, President Liu Yishou said nothing more.

It seemed that all of this had been arranged long ago.

In that case, even if Chen Xuan agreed to stabilize the market today, it wouldn't matter!

Since the Golden Core Masters of the The Three Sects had made the decision, it was the decision of the entire Southern Region.

...

President Liu Yishou was speechless; sometimes the orders from above and the execution from below were always out of sync.

And once something went wrong, they would more or less end up as the scapegoats.

"Fine!"

"There is another meeting today regarding the ascension spirit liquid, concerning..."

President Liu Yishou explained the importance of the ascension spirit liquid in detail and hoped that Chen Xuan would use the resources of the Liuyang Sword Sect to promote it.

Naturally, Chen Xuan agreed.

He was a Disciple of a Golden Core Master and carried significant weight with the outer sect deacons. Naturally, he could post notices, promote, and organize reward activities in Wanjian Immortal City and Bihai Immortal City.

In this way, the Qingcang Sect would not be able to get the lion's share.

But the tribute due to the Golden Core Master still could not be less.

They were the sky of the Southern Region.

One must not forget those who dug the well when drinking the water!

After reaching a consensus, Chen Xuan prepared to leave.

Additionally, he had obtained an auction token to be used by the Xiao Family later.

It could be considered a redemption for his brother, Xiao Muting.

There was no other way; for the past six months, anyone below the Golden Core stage who entered the Southern Border had died.

There was absolutely no news.

And the news from the Xiao Family, as well as from Xiao Ye, was the same.

No news at all.

Xiao Muting had most likely fallen on the path to contending for the exotic fire.

"Also, with the opening of the sea route, some Golden Core Cultivators are preparing to set a trap to wipe out the main Yao Beasts of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range in one fell swoop."

Yao Shuang recalled an important point.

"A trap?"

Chen Xuan immediately became interested.

He hated the Golden Core Yao Beasts to the bone!

If he could use their power to his advantage, that would be a wonderful thing.

"You two just need to know about this; do not spread it. At the same time, I must keep secret which Golden Core Masters are involved. I told you two about this only to make Chairman Liu believe me."

"Fine, let's leave it at that." President Liu Yishou concluded.

The more one knew about these things, the faster one would die.

Chen Xuan nodded.

With his and President Liu Yishou's strength and background, knowing these secrets would not cause them any trouble.

But if they delved deeper, the punishment would certainly be confinement at the very least, or total disappearance at worst.

Golden Core Masters were not nice guys.

Each one of them had fought their way through a sea of blood during the Foundation Establishment stage.

Only then could they attain it!

The Golden Core!

Even in the Central Plains, Golden Core Cultivators were not stray dogs to be seen everywhere on the roadside!

They were truly big figures.

And in the Southern Region, they were the sky!

The three of them walked out of the inn together.

The waiter followed closely behind.

A sharp light flickered in his eyes; he was clearly well-prepared.

Chen Xuan's Divine Sense was sharp, and he immediately noticed the waiter following them: "President Liu Yishou? Did you not pay the bill?"

Before President Liu Yishou could speak, he heard the waiter say eerily:

"Maitreya descends!"

"Pitying all living beings!" As his voice fell, he no longer concealed his aura!

Peak Foundation Establishment!

It was actually Peak Foundation Establishment!

Golden patterns spread rapidly!

It is Maitreya!

The White Lotus Sect!

Maitreya faith!

The expressions of the three changed drastically, and they inwardly cursed their bad luck.

Maitreya was completely different from an ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator. He was more like the descent of some high-level power.

That was why he could be terrifyingly powerful at the same Realm.

Back in the Water Marsh Kingdom, he had almost taken Chen Xuan's life with a single slap.

And at that time, it was just a random Foundation Establishment Cultivator from the Wang family borrowing the power of Maitreya.

And his defeat was not the defeat of Maitreya.

First, he was only at the Early Stage Foundation Establishment, having achieved it by luck; the Maitreya he summoned could not exist for long.

Secondly, Elder Liu was an Earth-Dao Foundation Establishment, someone with a glimmer of hope of achieving the Golden Core.

Not some random Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Naturally, after Elder Liu unleashed the minor Divine Ability of the Liuyang Sword Sect, defeat was the inevitable outcome.

But now?

Yao Shuang! A random Foundation Establishment Cultivator who ascended using the resources of the Qingyuan Chamber of Commerce.

President Liu Yishou! A random Foundation Establishment Cultivator who ascended using the resources of the Qingyuan Chamber of Commerce.

Yun Qi (Chen Xuan)! Late-stage Qi Refining, with combat power comparable to a Middle Stage Foundation Establishment.

"Converting to the Bright King is the only true path."

As he spoke, the waiter's face became solemn, like a god from the Nine Heavens, coiled in the clouds.

Wisps of smoke curled around him.

The aura of the Perfection of Foundation Establishment was like a mountain, instantly making it impossible for the three of them to breathe, leaving them only able to move their thoughts slightly.

"The sea of bitterness is boundless, turn back and the shore is at hand!"

"Benefactor."

"Do not be obsessed and refuse to repent."

President Liu Yishou and Yao Shuang's eyes instantly became dazed.

Chen Xuan was terrified! The hairs all over his body stood on end!

Suicide!

Almost instantly, this thought flashed through his mind.

If he were assimilated and became a follower of Maitreya.

Would he still be himself?

The secret of the hundred Reincarnations!

Could Chen Xuan still keep the secret of the wordless heavenly book?

Chen Xuan still remembered the pitiful helplessness from back then.

Even if he died, there was still a chance to come back in the next life.

Without any hesitation, Chen Xuan was about to use the secret technique he learned from the Scripture Pavilion: [Heaven and Earth Longevity]!

But just then, in the next moment, golden Sword Qi crisscrossed Wanjian Immortal City.

"How bold! You dare to commit murder right under my nose!"

Space was torn apart!

Maitreya bled.

That golden body was instantly shattered by the thousand-fold Sword Qi minor Divine Ability.

The waiter instantly turned into a bloody mist.

"Pfft!"

The three of them spat out blood simultaneously.

An elegant figure appeared before them, supported by streaks of Sword Qi. Her appearance could not be seen, only that she was a female Sword Immortal.

"The White Lotus Sect is truly bold!" The woman's voice was pleasant and melodious; she seemed to be an elegant female.

As she spoke, three Medicinal Pills flew into their mouths.

President Liu Yishou and Yao Shuang's eyes gradually cleared.

Chen Xuan was the least injured, but he felt waves of fear in his heart.

At this moment, lingering fear struck him, wave after wave of terror.

Yes, he had almost fallen!

If they were not in Wanjian Immortal City, he would have already perished.

The Immortal City was a place where Golden Core Masters took turns guarding.

It could be said to be the safest place in the Southern Region.

Even so, a Peak Foundation Establishment Cultivator had been able to come and attempt to convert the three of them, regardless of their own life.

What was the point?

Chen Xuan's eyes were dazed for a moment.

The figure of the Sword Immortal also gradually disappeared.

"Whew~"

"We are saved!"

As the medicinal effect kicked in, the three of them gradually recovered their aura.

From the moment the waiter attacked to the moment the Sword Immortal attacked, the entire time was no more than three breaths.

Chen Xuan looked coldly at President Liu Yishou.

This meeting was organized by him.

He was fully responsible!

"Chairman Yun, I will give you an explanation."

"There is a traitor in the high level of the Chamber of Commerce!"

President Liu Yishou lowered his head, seemingly knowing that saying more was useless.

"Maitreya is too rampant now; they dared to attack in the Immortal City today, and who knows what they will do tomorrow."

"This assimilation ability is truly terrifying. If it weren't for that adult, I would probably already be a dog of the White Lotus Sect," Yao Shuang also said bitterly.

Chen Xuan thought for a moment; it seemed that the The Three Sects had not joined forces to eradicate a faction in a long time.

This vast Southern Region had likely forgotten the existence of the The Three Sects.
