A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 18

Wu Rulong wasted no time and quickly began a series of actions against the Li Dynasty. Within just a month, the Li Dynasty’s industries sustained heavy losses.

Upon learning this news, Li Xukun’s expression soured instantly, as he clearly did not expect the Wu Commerce Association to dare to act against his Li Dynasty.

“This feels wrong, absolutely wrong. The Wu Commerce Association dares to strike at my Li Dynasty; there must be something backing them, perhaps they’re just waiting for my Li Dynasty to fall into their trap.”

Li Xukun knew all too well that at times like these, he had to remain calm. He couldn’t let a moment of anger lead to the downfall of the entire Li Dynasty.

Now that the Wu Commerce Association was so audaciously attacking his industries, it was clear they must have a powerful ally giving them the courage to confront him.

Taking a deep breath, Li Xukun managed to suppress his anger and waved for a servant.

“Make the arrangements; I will visit the Wu Commerce Association in three days.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“Wu Commerce Association, I want to see the monstrous being behind you. It would be best if you do not oppose my Li Dynasty, or else, I won’t hesitate to have the Ancestor eliminate you!”

As he said this, a terrifying killing intent erupted from Li Xukun. His Supreme cultivation gave him the confidence to do whatever was necessary.

On the other side, Wu Rulong soon received this news, and a hint of amusement appeared on his face.

“Interesting, they dare to come here? In that case, let’s give them a show of power!”

With the backing of his father’s support, Wu Rulong felt fearless, especially since the recent Shadow Agent had tried to kill him. There was no way he would show any goodwill towards Li Xukun, the mastermind behind it all.

Before long, three days passed, and Li Xukun stood before the royal hall. With a wave of his hand, he saw nine enormous figures flying from afar—nine colossal dragons, each emanating an aura at the peak of the Great Saint level.

This was the exclusive vehicle for the ruler of the Li Dynasty, the Nine Dragon Carriage.

With a thought, Li Xukun appeared on the Nine Dragon Carriage, and the nine Great Saint-level dragons let out a roar, their fearsome dragon calls reverberating throughout the Li Dynasty’s palace.

They then soared toward the Wu Commerce Association. If it weren’t to instill some fear, Li Xukun wouldn’t have used the Nine Dragon Carriage, as the cost was simply too high.

Beside Li Xukun, several guards at the peak of the Saint King level accompanied him as they rushed to the Wu Commerce Association. Although these powerful Saint Kings might not be of much help if Li Xukun faced an unsolvable problem, their main purpose was to act on his behalf when he couldn’t intervene directly. After all, what was Li Xukun’s status? He couldn’t handle everything himself, could he?

Soon, Li Xukun arrived at the Wu Commerce Association headquarters on the Nine Dragon Carriage, surrounded by the elite guards. However, as they reached the entrance, Li Xukun’s expression darkened.

The entrance of the Wu Commerce Association appeared no different from usual, showing no consideration for his arrival.

With this thought, Li Xukun’s anger intensified. The Wu Commerce Association better not let him discover that they were trying to deceive him; otherwise, he would destroy the entire Wu Commerce Association without hesitation!

Quickly, with a thought, one of the guards at the peak of the Saint King level soared above the Wu Commerce Association and bellowed like thunder, “His Majesty has arrived! Why don’t you Wu Commerce Association come out to welcome him?”

Li Xukun had initially thought he was giving the Wu Commerce Association enough face, expecting Wu Rulong to step out and greet him. However, there was no movement from within the Wu Commerce Association.

Just as Li Xukun was preparing to erupt with rage, he saw a figure slowly walking out from the Wu Commerce Association. The person looked up at Li Xukun and the others in the sky, showing no sign of fear as he spoke, “Since Your Majesty has arrived, please come in, but not everyone can enter; Your Majesty may only bring three guards with you.”

The person who stepped forward was Wu Qiankun, the third-generation heir of the Wu Family. After receiving news from Wu Rulong, he had come to assist at the Wu Commerce Association.

Of course, upon learning that the Li Dynasty was targeting the Wu Commerce Association, Wu Qiankun felt quite anxious. However, having heard from his father about the great strength of his grandfather and that there was no need to worry about a minor Li Dynasty, Wu Qiankun finally gathered the courage to step forward.

Currently, Wu Qiankun was merely at the peak of Divine Transformation, so he still felt a bit intimidated when facing Li Xukun and the others. After all, even a single sneeze from any of them could easily slay him countless times over.

After Wu Qiankun entered, Li Xukun’s expression turned sour again. Clearly, he hadn’t expected to personally come down and still receive no respect from the Wu Commerce Association.

“Your Majesty, the Wu Commerce Association is truly ungrateful. Why should we give them any face? Let’s attack directly!” suggested a Supreme-level martial general who had accompanied Li Xukun, his face filled with frustration.

However, Wu Rulong’s actions made Li Xukun even more cautious; after all, if they weren’t absolutely certain, how could they dare to be so brazen?

“All of you, stay on standby. Chen Ze, Yu Wenqiang, Wang Feng, you three will accompany me inside!”

Li Xukun referred to the three as his trusted subordinates, all at the Initial Stage of the Supreme level. Upon hearing Li Xukun’s words, the others, although reluctant, had no choice but to wait outside.

Accompanied by Chen Ze and the other two, Li Xukun arrived at the entrance of the Wu Commerce Association, where he then saw the associate of the Wu Commerce Association. The messenger wore a polite smile and said, “You must be His Majesty. Please follow me!”

With that, he walked straight into the depths of the Wu Commerce Association, and Li Xukun and the others had no choice but to follow.

Soon, they arrived deep within the Wu Commerce Association, where Wu Rulong had already prepared a grand banquet. Upon seeing Li Xukun, he remained seated at the main position, smiling as he said, “This must be His Majesty. Please have a seat.”

“Have you no shame? His Majesty has come personally, and you still dare to sit?” Chen Ze, known for his bad temper, instantly became furious upon witnessing Wu Rulong’s disrespect. Just as he was about to take action, Li Xukun stopped him.

“Your Majesty?” Chen Ze asked in confusion, while Li Xukun took a deep breath, his gaze directed at Wu Rulong filled with depth. He could sense that although Wu Rulong was merely at the peak of Tribulation Crossing, there was a faint aura of threat about him, indicating to Li Xukun that Wu Rulong was not to be underestimated!
