149: Chapter 149 This is an open conspiracy

Pingyang City.

Hailing Chamber of Commerce.

At this moment, the place was packed with people. The street outside was densely crowded, and they stretched their necks to look inside, their faces full of the expression of watching a good show.

"What's happening here? Why are so many people gathered?"

A newcomer looked puzzled, clearly unaware of what had happened.

"It seems that the Hailing Chamber of Commerce sold a Medicinal Pill, but after the person took it, something went wrong, and their spiritual power backflowed, causing serious injury."

"That shouldn't be possible, right? The Hailing Chamber of Commerce has always had a good reputation. Could they really have such a low-level problem?"

"Hey, let me tell you, this has absolutely nothing to do with the Medicinal Pill being problematic; it's just the Yang Family coming here specifically to cause trouble."

"Look, the Second Elder of the Ning Family has been beaten into a serious injury. The Yang Family is too overbearing. Previously, the head of the Ye Family didn't want to submit, and he was also directly beaten into a serious injury. I heard his Foundation was damaged, and his cultivation will never be able to progress for the rest of his life."

A crowd of people discussed it one after another. Many who knew the inside story scoffed at the Yang Family.

Of course, some people felt it was only natural.

In this world, the strong are respected. If your strength is inferior to the other party, it is normal to be swallowed by them.

Inside the Hailing Chamber of Commerce.

The Second Elder of the Ning Family was full of anger. He shouted sternly, "Yang Shanli, the Medicinal Pill he bought was only a Third-Grade Qi-Adjusting Pill. Even if there were a problem with this kind of Medicinal Pill, at most the effect would be halved. How could it possibly lead to serious injury?"

The Qi-Adjusting Pill is only used for regulating the body, and it is quite helpful for Core Formation Stage Cultivators.

But this kind of Medicinal Pill cannot cause spiritual power backflow.

The steward of the Hailing Chamber of Commerce also followed up, "This Qi-Adjusting Pill was purchased by us from the Chenmeng Chamber of Commerce. Elder Yang, by slandering us like this, are you saying that the Medicinal Pill from the Chenmeng Chamber of Commerce is problematic?"

The Chenmeng Chamber of Commerce is currently the largest chamber of commerce in the Eastern Region. They have two sales channels: volume-based and quality-based.

The quality-based ones are those high-end Heaven And Earth Treasure of Heaven Rank and Saint Rank, while the volume-based ones are some relatively low-level Medicinal Pills. The Chenmeng Chamber of Commerce sells them in large quantities to other chambers of commerce at lower prices, thereby selling more for a small profit.

Although the profit per unit is very low, adding it up for the entire Eastern Region, it is extremely terrifying.

And many things inside the Hailing Chamber of Commerce were purchased at a low price from the Chenmeng Chamber of Commerce.

Hearing the words of the Second Elder and the Hailing Chamber of Commerce steward, Yang Shanli sneered:

"You say it was bought from the Chenmeng Chamber of Commerce, so it must be? Couldn't you have swapped it? Saying such things is too ridiculous, isn't it?"

After speaking, he pointed to the middle-aged man lying on a stretcher with a pale face beside him.

"This friend bought the Medicinal Pill the day before yesterday. After taking it that same day, he felt physically unwell and wanted to come to the Hailing Chamber of Commerce to demand an explanation. However, you completely ignored him. I believe many people have heard of this, right?"

Yang Shanli turned and said to the onlookers outside.

Once these words were spoken, someone immediately frowned and agreed.

"There was indeed a person causing trouble at the Hailing Chamber of Commerce the day before yesterday, but he was kicked out afterwards. That person was even shouting at the entrance of the Hailing Chamber of Commerce."

"Hiss, could this really be true?"

"The Hailing Chamber of Commerce is actually selling fake Medicinal Pills? Medicinal Pills are things consumed into the body. If there are problems, wouldn't we easily die an unnatural death?"

Many people showed expressions of suspicion. Although many felt that the Hailing Chamber of Commerce would not do such a thing, since it concerned their own lives, they still had some doubts in their hearts.

What if it were true?

This was the thought in their minds.

Yang Shanli continued to speak: "Since your Hailing Chamber of Commerce won't solve the problem, this friend was forced to come to my Yang Family for help, hoping we would seek justice for him."

"Therefore, today, your Hailing Chamber of Commerce must provide an explanation, otherwise..."

As he spoke, a terrifying aura instantly bloomed, and his cultivation at the Early Stage of Body Integration enveloped the entire Hailing Chamber of Commerce.

Many people working in the chamber of commerce were flushed red at this moment, their expressions extremely painful.

The Second Elder's face was also extremely ugly. He had just taken a palm strike from Yang Shanli and was already injured. Now, his Qi and blood surged, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, his aura becoming extremely withered.

Yang Shanli said in an extremely cold tone: "Otherwise, there is no need for your Hailing Chamber of Commerce to exist."

His words were righteous and dignified, completely standing on the moral high ground.

Even if the Hailing Chamber of Commerce continues to operate in the future, many people will not come to buy things anymore.

Hearing this, the Second Elder's face was extremely gloomy. Others might not necessarily be able to see it, but he could see it very clearly: all of this was a conspiracy by their Yang Family.

Apparently, the Yang Family did not intend to continue dragging things out with their Ning Family.

The Yang Family has a total of two Body Integration Stage members: one is the head of the family at the Late Stage of Body Integration, and the other is the Yang Family Grand Elder in front of him, who is at the Early Stage of Body Integration.

If it were only Yang Shanli, that would be fine; the Grand Elder Ning Yan's combat power is not bad, and she can steadily suppress this Yang Shanli.

But there is also the head of the Yang Family, an enemy that Ning Yan cannot defeat at present. With the two of them joining forces, Ning Yan can only temporarily avoid their sharp edge.

Damn it!

The Second Elder's face was unwilling. Is the Hailing Chamber of Commerce going to be abandoned too?

The Ning Family had already suffered a great loss of Origin Qi after the incident with Hei San a year ago. Coupled with the crazy suppression by the Yang Family over these years, their resources had long been severely damaged. If the Hailing Chamber of Commerce were gone, the Ning Family would really be finished.

The remaining outcome would just be a slow death.

Without the replenishment of resources, the gap between the Yang Family and them would only grow larger and larger.

Why is the Yang Family so tough on the Ning Family? It is because they are preparing to integrate the forces of the entire Pingyang City, and the Ning Family has the strongest strength. Although Ning Yan is only at the Middle Stage of Void Refining, she is comparable to the Early Stage of Body Integration.

This means that the Ning Family is their biggest stumbling block in integrating Pingyang City.

If they do not uproot the Ning Family, they cannot unify the forces of Pingyang City.

Just at this moment, a cold voice rang out.

"Yang Shanli, you have such great courage to dare to hurt my Ning Family's people."

Ning Yan's figure instantly appeared inside the chamber of commerce. Her face was full of gloom and coldness, and her whole person was somewhat filled with Killing Intent, the exact opposite of the obedient little girl when she was with Su Chen.

Seeing Ning Yan, Yang Shanli was unhurried. He slightly cupped his hands and said: "So it is Grand Elder Ning Yan."

"I came here today just to seek justice for this brother. I just didn't expect that the Second Elder would not only fail to solve the problem but also use malicious words, saying that I slandered the Hailing Chamber of Commerce."

"Since you can't manage the Ning Family's dog well, I can only help you manage it."

Yang Shanli's tone was full of disdain. This Second Elder of the Ning Family was only at the Early Stage of Void Refining and had weak strength. Even if he hurt him, Ning Yan would not dare to make a move against him.

He could make a move against the Ning Family because the Ning Family was weak.

But if the Ning Family made a move against him, they would have to consider whether they could withstand the joint attack of two Body Integration Stage Cultivators.

Yang Shanli's mouth slightly curled up, and his face was full of mockery.

The Second Elder's face was extremely ugly. Yang Shanli called him a dog directly; this was completely not treating him as a human being.

"Yang Shanli!"

Ning Yan's tone was cold. She first glanced at the middle-aged man with a pale face, and then looked towards Yang Shanli.

On the way here, she had already understood the ins and outs of the matter.

The Yang Family, are they preparing to directly frame them?

This is an open conspiracy. They are also unable to defend themselves unless they possess greater strength than the Yang Family; otherwise, it is simply difficult to resolve.

Thinking of this, Ning Yan's expression became extremely cold.

It seems that it will not be easy to get through today's ordeal.
