Chapter 110: No Mercy

  "No wonder the people from the sect have either returned without success or gone missing, the nine cities of Taoyan are not under the control of the Wànxiàng Sect at all. Even a servant like Niu Er only knows about the five major families and doesn't know about the Wànxiàng Sect." After arriving at the residence, Sū Zhēn revealed his identity and asked Niu Er to find someone to clean up.

  Ke Niu heard that Su was the president of the Wanjing Zongpai Chamber of Commerce, and he was so scared that he even returned a string of cash, fleeing in fear, afraid to be associated with him, showing the influence of the Five Families.

  "Whatever, I won't be staying for long anyway. Let it break if it must." Su Zhen adjusted the stone bench and sat down quietly, mentally rehearsing the "Crouching Dragon Fist".

  Su Zhen didn't rush to find the five big families because he knew that the five big families would come back to look for him.

  Su Zhen learned that the news of his descent into Taiyan City had been leaked, and the Wanjiao Sect had informed the five major families in advance through the transmission array. With the eyes and ears of the five major families scattered everywhere, he feared that as soon as he entered the courtyard, he would fall into their ears.

  Su Zhen guarded the tree stump and waited for them to come to her door.

  Dada...

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, before long the sound of horse hooves came.

  A luxurious carriage drawn by eight black and yellow horses stopped in front of the courtyard, a young servant in green clothes ran in with quick steps, beaming with smiles as he presented a large red invitation: "I am Qi Gui, ordered by my master to invite Director Su to come to the Qi Manor. Zhou Zong, Feng Zong, Dongfang Zong and Linghu Zong are all at the Qi Manor, setting up a banquet of one hundred chickens to welcome Director Su! Please honor us with your presence."

  "What's going on at the Qi residence?"

  The five big families, with the Qi family at the forefront, have their main base located near Huo City. The five big families invited him to go to the Qi Manor, which was reasonable.

  Su Zhen got into the carriage and the coachman drove off.

  Qigui rode his horse alongside, casting a sideways glance at Su Zhen in the carriage with his peripheral vision. He snorted inwardly: thinking that the Wàn Xiàng Sect had sent some big shot, but it turned out to be just another inexperienced kid who hadn't even grown out of his baby hair yet. Still, this guy was quite straightforward, probably could be gotten rid of with a small amount of money.

  At the same time.

  Located on the most prosperous Central Avenue in Huo City, covering an area of over 700 mu, with magnificent buildings, numerous pavilions and palaces, fragrant flowers and misty scenery, the Qi Mansion was filled with lush green grass. In the main hall, a huge round table was set up. The first seat was empty, and five middle-aged men sat on either side.

  "Several clan leaders, who knows what background this Su really has?"

  "Since receiving the news, I've been investigating his identity, but we don't have any informants in the Wanxiang Sect, so the intelligence is limited. All I know is that he's an inner sect disciple, with a cultivation base of five rebirths, and seems to have decent innate talent, not very old."

  "Youth is prone to impulsiveness."

  "What's the point of being impulsive? There are many places to make a big impact, but Taiyinjiu City is not suitable. I'm old and just want to live out my days in peace, like guarding this coffin. If he behaves himself, I'll give him 10% of the water money, but if he wants to cause trouble... Taiyinjiu City isn't a place where even a master who has gone through five rebirths can die."

  "Although it is so, harmony is still precious. As long as he does not move our interests, we will respect this chairman of the agency."

  "I will follow your instructions, Brother Qi."

  The five big families are connected by a common interest, forming an alliance that monopolizes the market of Taiyan's nine cities. They have been in business for so long that it has become second nature to them. Whoever dares to touch their interests will be met with thunderous counterattacks from the five families. Over the years, they have weathered many storms and are now seasoned veterans. After a brief conversation, they close their eyes, calm their minds, and wait quietly.

  A moment later.

  A young servant reported that the newly arrived proxy head had reached the outer courtyard of the mansion. The heads of the five families exchanged a glance and rose to greet him.

  "Sui Association Chairman came to Tai Yanjiu City, and didn't even give me a heads up so I could send someone to welcome him. What a loss of distant courtesy, my fault, my fault." The first one wearing a white robe, with a pearl crown, hair combed without a single strand out of place, the master of the Qi family, bowed and said: "I am Qi Haisheng, current master of the Qi family, president of the Qishi business association, welcoming Sui Association Chairman's esteemed arrival."

  Zi Haisheng is now sixty-seven years old, but he takes good care of himself and looks like he's only in his forties. Moreover, he is a master of the Five Elements Rebirth Technique, with rich and abundant qi and blood, so it's not an exaggeration to say that he's still in his prime.

  Looks very spirited!

  "Old Feng Zhen Shan, head of the Feng family, president of the Feng Clan Chamber of Commerce. I have met with President Su." Feng Zhen Shan said, dressed in a black robe and clasping his fists.

  "The old and the decayed are all empty."

  "Old and rotten eastern wood!"

  "The old Lao Fox has a disciple, respectfully welcoming Director Su's great presence."

  The five family heads introduced themselves one by one. From their appearance, all of them looked like middle-aged men in their forties, but in reality, they were all over sixty years old. However, considering the lifespan of a Dacheng Realm cultivator, they were still young and vigorous.

  "The five clan leaders have an extraordinary aura, and in the Wanxiang Sect, they are a very strong force." Su Zhen greeted politely.

  He didn't lie about this. The Junzi Pavilion only has Kang Peng, who is a fifth-order cultivator and can barely squeeze into the middle ranks. In comparison, the five major families have five fifth-order masters each, so it's no problem for them to squeeze into the top 25. Adding their subordinates' strength, they might even take up most of the top 20 spots.

  "How dare we compare ourselves with the Holy Sect? Haha, President Su, please enter!" Qi Haisheng led the way forward.

  Qihai Sheng gathered the five big families together to welcome him, with a hint of demonstration. Judging from Su Zhen's performance, the effect was not bad. Give this little guy who hasn't even grown his hair yet a warning shot, shock him severely, and the rest will be easy to handle.

  In the main hall, the five tribal leaders invited Su Zhen to sit at the top and a maid poured wine.

  "Isn't Chairman Su still under twenty years old? Truly young and promising! With Chairman Su's talent, there's a great chance of breaking through to the Spiritual Spring. However, cultivating is an expensive path, we old folks have prepared a small token of our intentions, please don't decline it, Chairman Su." Qi Haisheng clapped his hands, and immediately a maid walked in carrying a tray covered with red silk.

  After lifting up the red cloth, a key was revealed.

  "This is a mansion located in the suburbs, with mountains behind and water in front, the scenery is unique and most suitable for quiet cultivation. The mansion has beautiful women and servants, everything is complete. In the east wing, there is a small box of Qi-gathering pills, as well as several large boxes of gold and jewels, which are gifts from us to Director Su."

  "A small box of Qi Gathering Pills?" Su Zhen's eyebrows rose in surprise.

  "Three thousand in number!" Qi Haisheng smiled confidently.

  Ji Qi Dan is a currency commonly used by cultivators. Gold and silver are good, but they are only limited to the Xian Tian realm and ordinary people. When it comes to the Tuo Tai realm, buying things can cost tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of taels, so carrying that much gold on one's person is clearly inconvenient. Therefore, some cultivators use a type of dan medicine called Ji Qi Dan as currency.

  Ji Qi Dan contains spiritual energy, taking it can increase cultivation speed. It can be used from the Xian Tian realm to the Ling Quan realm and is deeply welcomed by cultivators.

  It's hard currency among masters!

  During Wanxiang Sect, everyone used contribution points, but outside they had to exchange for Gathering Spirit Pills.

  "Three thousand Sanqi Dans, converted into gold, would be worth over five million taels. The several clan leaders are truly generous! Su Zhen smiled slightly, but didn't take the key: "It seems that the five clan leaders have an exceptionally high value, and the profits of Taiyan's nine cities are abundant. But why is it that every time you submit the offerings to the Wanxiang Sect, they're always insufficient? The five clan leaders, please bring out the account book for me to take a look."

  As soon as these words came out, the faces of the five clan leaders suddenly darkened.

  How dare you!
