119: Deterrence

The others also watched Lin Yimeng with cold eyes, wanting to see what kind of scheme she was trying to pull.

Lin Yimeng scanned the room. Many of the people present were figures she had once needed to curry favor with, as she had personally visited several of them back when the Chenmeng Chamber of Commerce needed to develop.

However, whenever she visited, they would always make some unacceptable demands.

Yet in the end, Lin Yimeng overcame numerous difficulties, stood out, and grew the Chenmeng Chamber of Commerce into a powerful force.

Lin Yimeng ignored the mockery, simply saying indifferently:

"Everyone, please sit."

If it were the old her, she certainly wouldn't have dared to put on such airs, but now with the Su Family as her backing, she naturally wouldn't be as timid as before.

After Lin Yimeng spoke, not a single person in the room sat down; they all looked at her with cold expressions.

To put it bluntly, Lin Yimeng simply did not have the qualifications to put on such airs in front of them.

The president of the Yuanhang Chamber of Commerce sneered and said, "President Lin, my suggestion is that you get straight to the point. If what you have to say next cannot satisfy us, then you will have to face our wrath."

The others all looked at Lin Yimeng playfully, their eyes filled with disdain.

Under normal circumstances, they wouldn't have come to the Chenmeng Chamber of Commerce at all.

The reason they came was because the words in Lin Yimeng's letter were too contemptuous of them.

He Guang suddenly stood out at this moment, saying with a cold expression:

"Fellow presidents, I don't think there's any need for so much nonsense. It's just a mere Chenmeng Chamber of Commerce; if we destroy it, we destroy it."

After speaking, a figure suddenly appeared behind him, releasing a terrifying Aura from within its body.

A Return to Origin Stage Late Stage Cultivator!

This was also one of the Protectors from their chamber of commerce.

He Guang looked coldly at Lin Yimeng while walking towards her, saying sarcastically, "Lin Yimeng, do you still remember what you said back then? You said it was impossible for you to be with me in this lifetime, and you belittled me as worthless."

"I remember those words clearly!"

He Guang said the last sentence almost through gritted teeth.

Back then, he had constantly pursued Lin Yimeng, even confessing in the square of Qianshan City, but unfortunately, he was rejected by Lin Yimeng in the end.

That wasn't even the worst of it; Lin Yimeng had also mocked him with extreme disgust, using words that were incredibly harsh.

This caused He Guang to lose all reputation in Qianshan City, becoming a laughingstock in everyone's mouths.

From that moment on, He Guang made up his mind that one day, he would take revenge for this.

Now was the best opportunity.

They actually all knew what Lin Yimeng's background was; she had the backing of a princess of the imperial family.

It was precisely for this reason that He Guang had suppressed the anger in his heart and not taken action.

But now, the major chambers of commerce were joining forces; even if the Jinghong Empire's imperial family found out, could they really stand against all of them at once?

Moreover, He Guang did not intend to kill Lin Yimeng directly, but rather planned to abduct her back to the He Family to be his young mistress. Even if the Jinghong Empire found out, they would absolutely not say anything.

Given the strength of the Jinghong Empire, being able to form an alliance with the Shanhai Chamber of Commerce would be their good fortune.

Lin Yimeng said with a calm expression, "Is that so? So what are you trying to prove?"

Looking at her indifferent, ice-cold demeanor, He Guang narrowed his eyes, and a perverted thought arose in his heart.

He had to capture Lin Yimeng and take her back to the He Family, then crush her spirit. He wanted to see her begging bitterly, and see her acting dissolute.

He Guang smiled wickedly and said, "You'll know soon enough."

"Uncle Xu, please take action and bring President Lin back to the He Family."

Then, he spoke to Lin Yimeng again.

"President Lin, tomorrow I will announce to the whole city, telling everyone that you are going to marry me, He Guang. Didn't you say I wasn't worthy of marrying you? Since that's the case, I will let everyone see how you become the young mistress of my He Family."

A ferocious look appeared on He Guang's face, his expression extremely frantic.

But Lin Yimeng's eyes remained incomparably calm; she just looked at He Guang coldly.

How could she possibly like someone like He Guang?

He was nothing more than a person just like Jiang Huai.

The person behind He Guang heard the order and immediately released the Aura within his body. He waved his hand, and a terrifying pressure enveloped Lin Yimeng.

Feeling the approaching pressure, Lin Yimeng's expression was incomparably calm; she showed not the slightest panic, and even said quite composedly:

"Rest assured, you won't have the chance."

Just at this moment.

An even more terrifying Aura enveloped the entire hall, causing everyone's expressions to change, with panic appearing in their eyes.

This is... Dao-Entry Realm!

He Yun narrowed his eyes, and he also released the same Aura from his body.

"Which friend is this? Today is a grievance between us and the Chenmeng Chamber of Commerce, so please do not interfere."

"Hehe!"

A cold laugh rang out.

Several figures walked out from the side of the chamber of commerce, which was the residence where the high-level officials of the chamber of commerce usually lived.

The person leading them was the Grand Steward of the Su Family's Collateral Branch, Su Hai.

In terms of status, he was only slightly inferior to the few Grand Elders of the direct line. He was also a core member of the Su Family, raised to a Sacred Body by Su Chen, and belonged to the group of people with top-tier combat power in the Su Family.

Beside him were two others, both of whom were Dao-Entry Realm Cultivators previously subdued by the Su Family.

One was Dao-Entry Realm Late Stage, and the other was Dao-Entry Realm Perfection.

Both were people who had joined the Su Family when their Lifespan was running low, and both had been branded with a Divine Soul mark.

The moment he saw the three of them, He Yun's expression changed drastically.

What a terrifying Aura!

He was only in the Dao-Entry Realm Middle Stage, but the Aura on these three people was stronger than his.

Especially Su Hao in the middle; although his cultivation was only Dao-Entry Realm Late Stage, the pressure was extremely terrifying, as if a ferocious, wild lion was about to rush up and tear him to shreds.

Just as He Yun was about to speak, Su Hai's figure instantly vanished from where he stood.

In an instant.

A terrifyingly extreme pressure was released. Su Hai raised his hand and grabbed; the Void Realm cracked, and He Yun was instantly torn to pieces under this power.

Before dying, He Yun reached out his hand in terror, wanting to beg for mercy.

But he couldn't make a sound, and was wiped out on the spot.

A Dao-Entry Realm Middle Stage Cultivator was wiped out with ease.

Everyone present felt their hearts skip a beat, their eyes filled with fear.

It's over!

Even if they were stupid, they knew by now that these people must have a connection to Lin Yimeng.

Thinking back now, Lin Yimeng had such confidence in calling them all here; if she didn't have some backing, how would she dare to do such a thing?

Especially He Guang; he was completely stunned, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

He only saw a giant hand reaching towards him, and then there was no more sound.

After Su Hai killed the two from the He Family, he did not continue to kill anyone else, but coldly scanned the crowd.

Those who were seen by Su Hai all lowered their heads in fear. They didn't dare to speak or move, only able to wait in panic for Su Hai to pronounce their fate.

That is how the weak are; many times they don't even have the right to choose to live.

Seeing that the deterrence was enough, Lin Yimeng quickly stood up and said, "Steward Su Hai, please sit."

Su!

Hearing this word, everyone was suddenly shocked.

Could it be the Su Family?
