Chapter 756: The Magical Merchant Association's Danger

Jie Xian smiled. “Young Hero Ye went to Shuang Shi Cliff to search for our sect member, Luo Xuan. I thank you for this.”

Ye Mo realized their sect had also searched for Luo Xuan.

“Luo Xuan is my friend. Of course, I had to look for her when she went missing,” Ye Mo said despondently.

Jie Xian nodded. “Jie Xun crossed the line. She attacked a core disciple! Sigh—”

Ye Mo sneered. “That witch not only killed many of my friends outside, but she also killed Luo Yin and forced Luo Xuan to jump off a cliff. I must kill her personally.”

Jie Xian sighed. “Luo Xuan’s master is still searching around Shuang Shi Cliff.”

“Master Jie Xian, I’ll be leaving now. I’ll return later.” Ye Mo wanted to give Luo Yin’s body to Jie Xian, but he’d already agreed to take her to Shi Feng Village. He would go there first.

He hadn’t told Jie Xian about Luo Fei, who had become accustomed to living in Luo Yue. He hadn’t mentioned the Ni Luo Sutra either. Regardless of its usefulness, without Luo Xuan, he didn’t want to share everything.

Ye Mo didn’t know Yun Ziyi’s location in Chan City, but he knew her abilities would alert her to his arrival. She would find him.

He entered a restaurant without using his spirit sense, waiting for Yun Ziyi while eating.

Although Ye Mo had reprimanded the hidden sects to keep a low profile, Chan City remained prosperous. Small vendors dared to set up stalls in the streets now that those charging exorbitant prices had left after hearing Ye Mo had annihilated Taiyi Sect because a disciple had taken his stall.

Of course, some doubted this. However, the most discussed topic was Ye Mo—Qianbei.

“You wouldn’t believe it! My cousin was at Magical Continent Mountain. That Ye-Qianbei was incredibly powerful. He killed over ten Great Heaven Masters with one hand, then blew a 100-meter-long flame!”

“Pffft! That’s wrong. Ye-Qianbei used frost blades, freezing the Great Heaven Masters to death.”

“What do you mean Ye-Qianbei? Ye Mo is very young, just scary-looking.”

“Yes, yes! I heard he’s almost three meters tall. He can crush ordinary people with one hand. It’s also said he has something going on with a young nun from Ci Hang Jing Mosque. That’s why they didn’t join the fight!”

Ye Mo sat, listening to the rumors. He even heard the rumor that he’d killed all of Taiyi Sect with a slap.

He was speechless. Technological development was crucial. With TVs, there wouldn’t be so much misinformation. A 100-meter-long flame? Was he a level 7 monster?

Those who knew better wouldn’t correct the rumors, fearing Ye Mo’s wrath.

Yu Yuyan knew the truth. Although Shang Qing Mountain had given Ye Mo wealth and herbs, many disciples left to avoid him, fearing an attack. Larger sects allowed this, fearing Ye Mo’s trustworthiness. Yu Yuyan was one such disciple.

She heard the rumors with contempt, yet wondered if she’d been with Ye Mo that night, the Yu family might be number one.

She regretted her actions. Knowing Ye Mo’s strength, why had she fawned over Martial Brother Guan?

Then, she saw Ye Mo enter the restaurant. Shocked, she looked down. Their enmity meant he might kill her.

Yu Yuyan didn’t dare look up, desperately seeking an escape.

Ye Mo saw her, but despised her. Her presence affected his appetite.

He abandoned waiting for Yun Ziyi, using his spirit sense to locate her in a large meeting room in the Magical Merchant Association building. He immediately understood why she needed his help and left the restaurant.

Yu Yuyan considered her options, deciding to find Ye Mo. He could easily kill her. Hiding was pointless. She was attractive and a virgin. Perhaps a night with him would change everything.

Excited, she looked up, but Ye Mo was gone.

In the grandest room of the Magical Merchant Association HQ, many masters gathered. Yun Ziyi and her maid, Xiao Ling, were there, their faces grim. Six men and three women were present; the strongest was a Great Heaven Master, though not the level Li Cheng had mentioned.

“Elder Li Pei, you’re our association’s Great Heaven Elder. My father was generous to you. Why betray the association and coerce me?” Yun Ziyi’s expression was grim, but her tone was calm.

Elder Li Pei, a handsome man in his 60s, frowned.

A seductive woman sneered. “Ziyi, can you blame Big Brother Li Pei? Your father offended the Sea Merchant Clan. Why involve us? Even without joining the Sea Merchant Clan, the Magical Merchant Association will be destroyed. It’s best to join forces now.”

Someone agreed. “Yes, your father built the association, but its current power is due to everyone’s hard work. The Sea Merchant Clan is stronger. Joining them is the best option. Otherwise, in two years, the association may cease to exist.”

An old man beside Yun Ziyi sneered, rising. “You all know what you’re doing. When the association was acclaimed and the old president was alive, you said nothing. You earned money and held high status. Now, you want to sell it to our opponents to remain elders and keep earning money. But what about the Magical Merchant Associ—”

Yun Ziyi sighed, stopping him. She understood their motives.

“Yun Tong, stop pretending. I know you earned as much as we did. We earned our money through hard work. We’re helping the association. What are you doing?” A monkey-faced man rose.

Yun Ziyi yelled, “Chu Yizhu, shut up! I know your plot! How was my father injured? Who sent assassins? Shameless! How dare you deny conspiring with the Sea Merchant Clan?”

“Hahaha! It’s not conspiracy, it’s cooperation.” The door opened, and a man in his 30s entered, followed by two middle-aged Great Heaven Masters.
