“The Void Merchant Guild is very strong.”
Master Yuxu continued, “In the Eighteen Heavens, they are just the tip of the iceberg. Above the Eighteen Heavens, there are even more of their powers. Even outside the Celestial Realm, in other realms, there are branches of the Void Merchant Guild. Their network is spread across the various realms, and their strength is in no way inferior to the God Race.”
David frowned slightly at Yu Xu Zhenren’s words.
Are they equal to the gods?
How could a chamber of commerce have that much power?
“Who is behind the Void Merchant Guild?” David asked.
Master Yuxu was silent for a moment, then shook his head. “No one knows. The Void Merchant Guild has existed for thousands of millennia, and their influence extends across countless realms. But where their headquarters is, who their leader is, and who is behind them—all of that is a mystery.”
“I have lived for tens of thousands of years, and I have never known the true master of the Void Merchant Guild.”
“Is the Void Merchant Guild that powerful?” David was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, it made sense. To be called the Void Merchant Guild, it definitely had some abilities.
Beyond the heavenly realm lay nothing but emptiness; the name of this Void Merchant Guild sounded very impressive.
Master Yuxu nodded. “Mr. Chen, the people from the Void Merchant Guild cannot be trusted. They are only being nice to you because you are useful to them.”
Once your usefulness ends, they will throw you away without hesitation. I advise Master Chen to decline their invitation and not get too close to the Void Merchant Guild.”
David was silent for a moment, then shook his head.
“Master, I know that the Void Merchant Guild cannot be trusted.”
His voice was calm, “But I need allies now. The power of the gods is too great, and I cannot fight the entire gods alone. Qingyun Cave Heaven is already by my side, but that is not enough. Although the Void Merchant Guild is profit-oriented, their strength and intelligence network is exactly what I need.”
Master Yuxu looked at David, a complex expression flashing across his aged eyes.
He understood what David meant.
Fighting the Protoss is not one person’s business, but a group of people’s business.
Although the Daoist sect was willing to accept David as the new leader, the sect was too divided, with each faction unwilling to submit to the other factions, making it impossible to form a unified force in a short time.
Different from the Void Merchant Guild, they were a unified whole with a strict organizational structure, an intelligence network that covered the entire sky and various worlds, and countless resources and connections.
If David was able to harness the power of the Void Merchant Guild, his path would be much easier.
“Since Mr. Chen has already made his decision, I will not comment further.”
Master Yuxu stood up, walked to David, took out a blue jade talisman from his sleeve, and handed it to him. “This is a communication jade talisman from Qingyun Cave. If Master Chen encounters any danger in the Void Merchant Guild, just crush this jade talisman, and I will immediately lead people there.”
David took the jade talisman and put it into his storage ring.
“Thank you, Master.”
Master Yuxu waved his hand, turned around, and walked out of the tea room. When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped and didn’t look back.
“Mr Chen, Wu Yuan, president of the Void Chamber of Commerce, is not an ordinary person. Even though he only had the cultivation of the fourth level of the Golden Immortal Realm, his machinations and cunning were even more terrifying than Yan Wuji, who was at the fifth level of the Golden Immortal Realm. Mr. Chen, you have to be careful when dealing with him.”
After saying that, he stepped away, his blue Daoist robe fluttering in the morning breeze, his white hair and beard gleaming with silvery light in the sunlight.
David watched her figure disappear into the bamboo grove outside the teahouse, a thoughtful look flashing across his purple eyes.
A level four Gold Immortal possessed more terrifying cunning and intelligence than a level five Gold Immortal.
People like that were indeed difficult to deal with.
But David was not afraid.
He had walked a harder path and faced tougher opponents.
No matter how great a businessman is, he is still just a businessman.
David walked out of the tea room and into the main hall of the Daoist temple.
Su Jingqiu was already waiting in the hall.
Today she wore an elegant light gray dress, similar to the one he had seen outside Fire Crow City, but her expression was much calmer than before, with a faint smile on her lips, like an old friend she had not seen for a long time, not like a merchant guild lobbyist.
When he saw David come in, Su Jingqiu stood up and bowed slightly.
“Mr. Chen, we meet again.”
David walked up to him and stopped five steps in front of him, looking at him with his purple eyes without showing any emotion.
“Vice President Su, your president sent you to invite me. What’s wrong?”
Su Jingqiu’s smile remained unchanged, but a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes. David knows his identity; he knew that Su Jingqiu was the vice president of the Void Chamber of Commerce.
He didn’t leave a name or contact information outside of Fire Raven City, but he managed to find it anyway.
