Chapter 543: Enemies Meet, Blood Debts Must Be Paid in Blood
Xi Hui Domain was one of the domains that had previously destroyed the branch of the Wu Clan Chamber of Commerce.
Just as Chief Lu and the others were looking at Wu Hao with shock on their faces, the next second they saw Wu Rulong appear outside Xi Hui Domain, led by Wu Tiannan.
After appearing at Xi Hui Domain, Wu Rulong looked at Wu Tiannan and said,
"Tiannan, do it. Bring the people from the Divine Commerce Association in Xi Hui Domain out to me."
"Yes, Young Lord."
After Wu Tiannan finished speaking, he disappeared in front of Wu Rulong the next second.
Meanwhile, within the Divine Commerce Association—essentially, every domain had experts who gathered major chambers of commerce to form a massive organization, similar to the Wan Merchant Association in Natural Domain and so on.
And the one in Xi Hui Domain was the Divine Commerce Association.
Inside the Divine Commerce Association at this moment, two experts sat facing each other, and one of them spoke with a somewhat solemn expression.
"I heard that Elder Chen was sent to destroy the Wu Clan Chamber of Commerce's branch in Xi Hui Domain?"
Upon hearing this, the other expert nodded.
Their identities were the leaders of the two major chambers of commerce that dominated the Wan Merchant Association: the Wan Yuan Commerce Association and the Shen Cai Commerce Association. The one who asked was the Chairman of the Shen Cai Commerce Association, Chairman Zhen.
The Chairman of the Wan Yuan Commerce Association was named Chairman Lu.
After seeing Chairman Lu nod in agreement, Chairman Zhen said somewhat uneasily,
"Old Lu, you were a bit impulsive this time. You should have investigated clearly before deciding whether to act. If this Wu Clan Chamber of Commerce has an extraordinary background, it will likely be difficult to resolve this later."
Hearing this, Chairman Lu sneered and said,
"Rest assured, I have already investigated clearly. The Wu Clan Chamber of Commerce is a chamber of commerce from the Natural Domain. You surely know the strength of the Natural Domain, right? They are not my match even if they all combined."
After speaking, a terrifying and powerful aura surged from Chairman Lu's body, far surpassing Chief Lu and the others; he was undoubtedly at the God King Peak.
One must know that Chairman Lu was only the chairman, and within the Wan Yuan Commerce Association, there were experts he enshrined whose strength was above his own.
The Shen Cai Commerce Association, which held the same status, was naturally similar.
Upon hearing that the Wu Clan Chamber of Commerce came from the Natural Domain, Chairman Zhen finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, for some reason, a faint sense of unease lingered in his heart, as if something bad was about to happen.
Just then, before Chairman Lu and Chairman Zhen could react, the surrounding scene shifted. By the time they realized what was happening, they had already been brought out of Xi Hui Domain and arrived in front of Wu Rulong.
Looking at this scene, Chairman Lu and Chairman Zhen had extremely solemn expressions. After exchanging a glance, they both secretly began to contact the experts enshrined in their respective chambers of commerce.
After doing all this, Chairman Zhen and Chairman Lu looked at Wu Tiannan in front of them. In their perception, Wu Rulong was only at the Earth God Realm and should be Wu Tiannan's follower; they only needed to speak to Wu Tiannan.
But the next second, Wu Tiannan stood silently behind Wu Rulong. This scene left Chairman Lu and Chairman Zhen shocked and unable to believe it.
What on earth was going on? Could it be that their Xi Hui Domain was about to face a catastrophe?
But before Chairman Lu and Chairman Zhen could think too much, Wu Rulong spoke, his tone extremely unfriendly.
"You must be Chairman Zhen and Chairman Lu, right? I have been hearing your names for a very long time."
Hearing Wu Rulong's words, Chairman Lu and Chairman Zhen's hearts skipped a beat. If they had previously doubted whether Wu Rulong was targeting them, they could now basically confirm that Wu Rulong was indeed coming for them.
Thinking of this, Chairman Lu and Chairman Zhen immediately spoke to Wu Rulong in an extremely respectful manner without a second word.
"This Fellow Daoist, perhaps there is some misunderstanding between us. Please give us a chance to offer our apologies."
Given the current situation, it was likely that even if both enshrined experts attacked together, they would not be a match for that Senior, let alone the fact that the Senior even treated Wu Rulong as the leader. Did this mean that there was an even more terrifying existence behind Wu Rulong?
Hearing this, Wu Rulong sneered and said,
"Misunderstanding? I don't think there is any misunderstanding between us. Oh right, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Wu Rulong, and I am the Chairman of the Wu Clan Chamber of Commerce."
Hearing Wu Rulong say he was the Chairman of the Wu Clan Chamber of Commerce, Chairman Lu and Chairman Zhen's heartbeats skipped a beat for a moment. But after realizing what was happening, Chairman Zhen chose to betray Chairman Lu without hesitation.
"Chairman Wu, this matter has nothing to do with me; it was Chairman Lu's decision alone. I really knew nothing about it. Please give me a chance, Chairman Wu. I am willing to become a vassal of the Wu Clan Chamber of Commerce from now on."
"Old Zhen, you!"
Seeing Chairman Zhen betray him, Chairman Lu's face was filled with shock. Clearly, he could not believe that an old friend he had known for countless epochs would actually betray him.
But there was not a trace of guilt on Chairman Zhen's face. He looked at Chairman Lu with a helpless expression and said, "Old Lu, don't blame me. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for provoking someone that none of us can afford to provoke. It is better for you to die alone than for all of us to die together."
"You…"
Chairman Lu wanted to refute, but he couldn't say anything. Indeed, if he hadn't acted against the Wu Clan Chamber of Commerce so quickly, perhaps there might have been room for redemption. But now, no matter what he said, there was no way out. The best solution was for him to die alone and save everyone else.
Thinking of this, Chairman Lu looked at Wu Rulong. His eyes were extremely complex, but in the end, he made up his mind, his tone extremely serious.
"Chairman Wu, this matter was done by me alone. I will bear the consequences of my own actions. Please target me, Chairman Wu, and do not implicate others."
Seeing Chairman Lu take the initiative to step forward, Chairman Zhen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He silently thought to himself: Old Lu, you can go in peace. Rest assured, I will take good care of your family and not let them be wronged.
Watching Chairman Lu and Chairman Zhen's performance, Wu Rulong's face was filled with a playful expression. It wasn't until Chairman Lu stepped forward and took everything upon himself that Wu Rulong finally spoke, his tone mocking.
"When did this Chairman ever say that I would only hold you accountable?"
Hearing this, Chairman Zhen's face turned pale instantly. According to Wu Rulong's words, could it be that he intended to do something else?
But before Chairman Zhen could ask, Wu Rulong spoke.
"Since you dared to destroy my Wu Clan Chamber of Commerce, then I will destroy your Divine Commerce Association. Blood debts must be paid in blood!"
As Wu Rulong's words fell, Chairman Lu and Chairman Zhen's faces instantly became extremely ugly. They had not expected Wu Rulong to be so ruthless, even wanting their entire Divine Commerce Association to be buried with him.
For a moment, a thought of fighting to the death with Wu Rulong couldn't help but arise in Chairman Zhen's heart. However, after seeing Wu Tiannan standing beside Wu Rulong, he silently dismissed this idea. After all, Wu Tiannan was able to bring them here without them even reacting; it was likely that Wu Tiannan could take them both out the moment they made a move.
