Chapter 307: Annexing the Four Major Business Alliances
Along with the footsteps came a terrifying aura that carried an unparalleled oppressive force that instantly rendered the old man speechless.
His face turned pale in an instant, cold sweat dripped down, and his eyes were full of disbelief and fear.
The other five people next to him were in an even worse situation. Their faces were filled with horror, and they almost couldn't suppress the urge to run away.
“A Divine Transformation cultivator?!” the old man in the middle Nascent Soul stage asked with a hoarse voice.
"Spirit Transformation? Ye hasn't broken through to the Spirit Transformation stage yet! But fellow Daoist's perception is indeed good. Although Ye is not at the Spirit Transformation stage, his spiritual awareness has surpassed that of ordinary Spirit Transformation cultivators!" Ye Changsheng's calm voice sounded, and his figure appeared in front of everyone accompanied by the sound of footsteps.
The moment they saw him, the six Nascent Soul elders from the four major business alliances were shocked beyond words. Who was this person in front of them? How could they not recognize him?
This was exactly the person they were afraid of, according to the information obtained from the investigation, the cultivator named Ye who had close ties with the Miaoyin Sect.
But, doesn’t it mean that he is only in the middle stage of Nascent Soul?
How come he became a great monk in the blink of an eye?
Isn't this too outrageous? How long has he been in the Nascent Soul stage?
For a moment, the six Nascent Souls from the four major business alliances no longer cared about being afraid, and looked at Ye Changsheng in disbelief, stunned.
Ye Changsheng walked slowly to Zi Ling and Zhou Yuan, looked at them, and a kind smile appeared on his face.
Holding out a small black banner, Ye Changsheng looked at the six people in front of him and said with a faint smile: "Fellow Daoists, please put a trace of your soul into this soul refining banner first. Then we can talk about how to merge the four major business alliances into the Miaoyin Sect!"
Upon hearing his words, the expressions of the six Nascent Soul cultivators suddenly became even uglier.
"What do you mean, Brother Daoist Ye? Do you really want to force our four major business alliances?" The white-haired old man in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul asked, forcing a smile on his face.
"Isn't my meaning very clear? If you six want to leave alive, leave a trace of your soul on this Soul Refining Banner!" Ye Changsheng said in a calm voice.
Hearing this, the six people's hearts sank to the bottom in an instant.
Soul Refining Banner, this doesn’t sound like a good thing.
If you really do this, your life and death will most likely be in the hands of others from now on.
Every cultivator who can cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage is a hero. Who would be willing to be someone else's slave?
Zi Ling and Zhou Yuan both looked at the six people in front of them with smiles on their faces, feeling a sense of pleasure at having released the evil in their hearts.
Over the years, the four major business alliances have been very aggressive, which has always made the mother and daughter extremely worried.
They were afraid that if they were not careful, Miaoyin Sect would be destroyed by the other party.
Now, seeing that Ye Changsheng appeared, these six people didn't dare to breathe, they felt so happy in their hearts.
However, on the side of the four major business alliances, although these people were afraid of the great cultivator Ye Changsheng, they did not want to obey his words at all. Instead, they had the urge to fight to the death.
A fierce intention gradually emerged in their hearts. The burly man transmitted his voice, "Everyone, he has probably just broken through to the late Nascent Soul stage. His realm may not be stable yet. We may have the strength to fight him!"
"Brother Dao said..."
"ah!"
As soon as the burly man's voice transmission words came out and someone was about to agree, a scream was heard.
Then, Ye Changsheng appeared in front of the burly man at some point, and he stretched out his hand and grabbed his Nascent Soul and held it in his hand.
The whole attack process was extremely fast, and before these people could react, they heard screams.
Then, he saw the burly man's Nascent Soul struggling frantically in Ye Changsheng's hands, wailing, shouting and begging for mercy.
Ye Changsheng had no intention of paying any attention. He pasted a talisman on it, which shocked the Nascent Soul, and then put it into a jade box.
Then, he turned around, looked at the remaining five people, and said with a smile: "I forgot to tell you, I can hear all your voice transmissions!"
Looking at the devilish smile on his face, the Nascent Soul cultivators from the four major business alliances felt a chill in their hearts, and fear spread uncontrollably.
"Oh, by the way, let me tell you one more thing. I have decided that only four of you can survive. You can decide who will die!"
Ye Changsheng put his hands behind his back and slowly spoke out something that was like the devil's whisper to these five Nascent Soul cultivators.
When the five people heard this, they looked at each other, and suddenly everyone's eyes flickered, and they began to become more wary of each other.
Everyone can see this obvious provocation, but there is no way to deal with it.
Because the other party was too strong. For a great monk, it was not a problem at all for him to kill all of them.
Perhaps if they met other great monks, they could still escape, but facing this man, judging from the speed he just demonstrated, the probability of their escape was very small.
The only solution now is...
Among the five Nascent Soul cultivators, the leading old man in the middle Nascent Soul stage lowered his head, and suddenly a fierce look flashed in his eyes.
“Whoosh!”
He rushed out at an extremely fast speed, with a clear target to grab Zhou Yuan, who had the weakest cultivation level here, and wanted to capture her.
As long as Zhou Yuan is captured, Ye Changsheng will definitely be afraid to threaten them again.
After successfully leaving this place, he will immediately join the Anti-Star Alliance and use the power of the Six Paths Supreme Saint and Wan Sangu to deal with this person.
These thoughts flashed quickly through the mind of this mid-Nascent Soul cultivator. He believed that if he caught Zhou Yuan off guard, his chances of success in capturing her would be high.
After all, he is just a cultivator in the late Jindan stage.
As for Ye Changsheng, the other four should help him delay the situation. He believes that everyone has this tacit understanding.
However, when he just stretched out his hand in front of Zhou Yuan, he saw the sarcastic look in Zhou Yuan's eyes.
A cultivator in the late Jindan stage showed a mocking look to him, a cultivator in the middle Yuanying stage?
The old man who was the leader of the four major business alliances had just had a doubtful look in his mind when he saw two figures suddenly appear in front of Zhou Yuan and blocked his attack.
They were two human-shaped puppets, wearing sharp armor, like two fully armed warriors, each holding a bow and arrow in their hands.
“Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Two sharp arrows shot towards him at a rapid speed. The old man's heart suddenly trembled, and he saw the power of the two arrows in the blink of an eye.
These were two attacks comparable to those of a Nascent Soul cultivator. These two puppets were actually at the Nascent Soul level? !
Regardless of the fear in his heart, he knew he could not succeed, so he turned around and flew out of the pavilion, wanting to escape quickly.
The other four Nascent Souls from the four major business alliances also made the same move. They took the opportunity to have their bodies glowing with light, and one by one they unleashed their magic weapons, attacking either Zhou Yuan or Zi Ling.
As the magic weapons flew out, they were also trying to escape. The pavilion was razed to the ground by the attacks launched by the Nascent Soul cultivators.
In the midst of this chaotic attack, Ye Changsheng just stood with his hands behind his back, smiling, without making any movement.
The magic weapons that were launched in the chaos were either blocked by Zi Ling or by the two puppets.
The five people who had just flown out screamed one after another, especially the old man in the lead, who let out a shrill scream.
"ah!"
He howled in pain, his whole body enveloped by a black aura. His skin suddenly turned black, then swelled, festered, and oozed out a mixture of inky black blood and venom.
When the liquid fell to the ground, it corroded the ground and created a huge deep pit.
The white-haired old man seemed to have been poisoned by something, and his body was destroyed in an instant. No matter how many antidote pills he swallowed hastily, they were all useless.
Finally, he screamed in despair, and a Nascent Soul flew out of his body, abandoning his physical body.
The Nascent Soul had just come out and was about to teleport when it was immediately grabbed by a giant golden hand.
Then, in the blink of an eye, the old man's flesh, blood, and bones all dissolved in the black poison and were completely corroded.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, please spare my life. I am willing to surrender and give you everything the Chamber of Commerce has!" The old man shouted in fear and begged bitterly.
"You are in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. I am afraid that after I leave, Miaoyin Sect will not be able to control you!" Ye Changsheng murmured.
Among the five people just now, he said he wanted to keep four of them, but in fact the one he wanted to kill was this old man.
Only a great cultivator like Ye Changsheng could subdue this kind of mid-Nascent Soul cultivator who had lived for hundreds or thousands of years.
Ye Changsheng controlled him and left him to Zi Ling. He was afraid that Zi Ling would be retaliated against, so this man must die.
However, Ye Changsheng did not intend to kill him immediately. He still wanted to get what he wanted from this man's Nascent Soul.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, Lord Ye, I am loyal and will do my best to help Miaoyin Sect grow and develop. I also know many secrets of the Merchant Alliance. I beg Lord Ye...ah..."
After a scream, the old man's Nascent Soul stopped talking and fell down in a daze, his eyes dull, as if he had lost consciousness.
A talisman was fluttering on the forehead of his Nascent Soul, and Ye Changsheng collected the Nascent Soul as well.
Then, he turned and looked at the remaining four Nascent Soul cultivators who had not been able to escape.
The four were trapped by a dozen aggressive flying purple-striped scorpions.
These flying purple-striped scorpions are about ten feet in size, dark purple in color, and exude a terrifying aura.
Especially the two at the head, which were two meters long and so ferocious that it was frightening.
The old man was just blocked by these two flying purple-striped scorpions, and a sting from their tails directly destroyed his body.
The sound emitted by this extremely poisonous insect can interfere with the flow of human vital energy, greatly affecting your attack or escape when facing it.
When they saw these poisonous insects, the Nascent Souls of the Merchant Alliance were completely in despair.
A great monk in the late Nascent Soul stage, with two Nascent Soul-level puppets and a dozen extremely powerful poisonous insects, how can they resist such a lineup?
This person can easily walk around in the Chaos Star Sea, and even killing his way in and out of the Anti-Star Alliance’s headquarters is not a problem for him.
"My lord, I am willing to surrender!"
"Master Ye, please spare our lives. We are willing to offer everything in the Merchant Alliance to you!"
"Master Ye, I was blind before and failed your kindness. Please forgive me. I am willing to help you merge the Merchant Alliance into Miaoyin Sect!"
…
As cries of pleading rang out, these Yuanying-stage monsters no longer had any dignity or face left, and they all knelt on the ground begging.
Faced with the choice between death and becoming dogs, they chose the latter.
"If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place!" Ye Changsheng sighed with compassion.
Then he erected the Soul Refining Banner in front of him.
The four Nascent Soul cultivators were filled with resentment and regret at this moment.
I should have known I would not have come to this appointment, but now I have ended up like this.
But no matter how unwilling he felt, he still had to go forward obediently and leave a trace of his soul in the Soul Refining Banner.
Afterwards, Ye Changsheng cast forbidden magic on them one by one to ensure that he could kill them all with just a thought.
"Zi Ling, come over and leave the forbidden magic to them. These people will be your subordinates from now on!" Ye Changsheng looked at Zi Ling and said.
Upon hearing this, Zi Ling's eyes showed excitement and eagerness to try. She walked over and imprinted the forbidden divine arts that only those in the Nascent Soul stage could master on these people one by one.
After seeing this scene, Ye Changsheng nodded and put away the puppet and the flying purple-striped scorpion.
Then he said to Zhou Yuan and Zi Ling, "I will search the souls of those two people to find out the specific situation of the four major business alliances. You two can discuss with them how to annex the four major business alliances!"
Hearing Ye Changsheng's words, the smiles on Zi Ling and Zhou Yuan's faces became more and more intense, while the expressions of the other four people became more and more uglier.
Ye Changsheng took the two Nascent Souls and walked aside.
Not long after, these two Nascent Soul cultivators completely disappeared from the world.
Ye Changsheng also obtained a lot of information he wanted from their memories.
"The wealth accumulated by the four major business alliances is indeed staggering. I'm afraid that in this Chaos Star Sea, apart from the Star Palace, the four major business alliances are the richest!" Ye Changsheng murmured softly.
"However, I didn't expect that in addition to the ten Yuanyings in the open, they also secretly have six Yuanyings to worship. They are indeed an extremely powerful force!"
"Well, the series of attacks against Miaoyin Sect were also carried out by them in conjunction with the Nixing Alliance. It turns out that the two parties have been flirting with each other for a long time!" Ye Changsheng thought to himself.
Through the memories of these two people, he knew everything about the four major business alliances.
Among the ten Nascent Soul cultivators, there are two in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, and there are six great priests in secret, all of whom are apparently casual cultivators.
Among them there is also one in the middle stage of Nascent Soul.
The four major business alliances are only missing a great monk, otherwise they would be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with both the good and evil sides.
"Next, I have to go to their headquarters!" Ye Changsheng thought to himself.
He walked towards Zhou Yuan and Zi Ling, and after giving them some instructions, Zhou Yuan flew towards Tianxing City, while Zi Ling and the four newly subdued Nascent Souls followed Ye Changsheng to the headquarters of the four major business alliances.
This trip will last for half a year!
