A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 202

Chapter 202: Are You Ready to Take Action?

Meanwhile, on Wu Rulong’s side.

After the Wu Commerce Association stabilized in the Xuan Central Region, Wu Rulong began to explore markets in other domains close to the Xuan Central Region, with Huang Yuan Region being his first choice. This was because the strength of Huang Yuan Region was comparable to that of Xuan Central Region, with the strongest only being at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal.

For safety reasons, Wu Rulong brought Jiang Ye with him to Huang Yuan Region and had already completed the establishment of the Wu Commerce Association there, which naturally sparked dissatisfaction among the local commerce associations in Huang Yuan Region.

“How bold! The Xuan Central Region actually extended its hand into our Huang Yuan Region!”

In the largest local commerce association of Huang Yuan Region, the Earth Dragon Commerce Association, the president Cai Zhengkun wore a face full of anger. The senior executives in front of him all lowered their heads; it was a moment when Cai Zhengkun was furious, and no one dared to speak, fearing to provoke his wrath.

Taking a deep breath, Cai Zhengkun finally calmed down and spoke up.

“Have you investigated the origins of that Wu Commerce Association?”

“President, here is the background and origins of the Wu Commerce Association.”

Upon hearing this, a senior executive from the Earth Dragon Commerce Association quickly handed a document to Cai Zhengkun.

Opening the document, Cai Zhengkun’s expression turned extremely grim after seeing the background and origins of the Wu Commerce Association.

“Accompanying Wu Rulong is Jiang Ye, the Sect Master of the Kao Shan Sect, while Wu Rulong is merely at the Intermediate Stage of the Mortal World Immortal.”

Looking at the information, Cai Zhengkun felt it hard to believe. After all, he knew who Jiang Ye was—he was a super expert at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal, and even he did not dare to offend him. The fact that such a powerful Jiang Ye accompanied Wu Rulong to Huang Yuan Region, combined with the note that Jiang Ye showed great respect towards Wu Rulong, only added to Cai Zhengkun’s shock.

At that moment, the vice president of the Earth Dragon Commerce Association spoke up.

“President, could it be that the president of the Wu Commerce Association is a puppet set up by Jiang Ye? After all, Jiang Ye is extremely cautious; he might just want to use a puppet to probe the waters.”

“There’s a possibility, but it’s not very likely. From what I know, the Kao Shan Sect where Jiang Ye is located has never participated in business associations or similar activities.”

Cai Zhengkun said with a serious expression, and after a long pause, he looked at one of his subordinates and instructed, “Go tell the Wu Commerce Association that I, Cai Zhengkun, plan to visit their Wu Commerce Association in three days. I hope they are prepared.”

Cai Zhengkun’s purpose for this trip was to probe the depths of the Wu Commerce Association. If it turned out that Jiang Ye was the one pulling the strings from behind, he wouldn’t mind having his people take action to drive Jiang Ye away.

Indeed, Cai Zhengkun was not the master of the Earth Dragon Commerce Association; he was merely a puppet pushed forward by the true master of the association, who was the strongest in Huang Yuan Region, Yuan Zheng, at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal.

“President, if you’re planning to visit the Wu Commerce Association, should you inform Lord Yuan?”

Upon hearing that Cai Zhengkun intended to go to the Wu Commerce Association alone, the senior executives of the Earth Dragon Commerce Association all spoke up to advise him.

But Cai Zhengkun waved his hand dismissively, saying casually, “There’s no need for Lord Yuan to take action just yet. I’m at least a Great Luo Golden Immortal; if Jiang Ye plans to make a move against me, I can still hold my ground to some extent. Lord Yuan can step in later if needed.”

“Alright, everyone else can leave.”

Cai Zhengkun gestured for the executives to depart, and soon only he and the vice president, Nie Long, remained.

Once everyone had left, Nie Long approached Cai Zhengkun, his expression somewhat serious as he said, “President, do you think the Wu Commerce Association’s involvement will disrupt our plans?”

“I don’t know, but we won’t know until we meet the Wu Commerce Association,” Cai Zhengkun replied, his expression grave, as if deep in thought about something.

Meanwhile, the news quickly reached Wu Rulong. After learning of this matter, he called Jiang Ye to his side.

“Jiang Ye, if you were to fight against the strongest in Huang Yuan Region, how much of a chance do you think you would have?”

Wu Rulong looked at Jiang Ye, seriously inquiring.

Jiang Ye waved his hand, then raised a finger.

“One move is enough.”

“One move?”

“Indeed. The strongest in Huang Yuan Region is a guy named Yuan Zheng, who is at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal. If we had fought earlier, we might have been evenly matched, but now, with the Master’s help, I’ve broken through to the Immortal King Initial Stage, so Yuan Zheng is no longer my opponent.”

As he spoke towards the end, Jiang Ye’s expression was filled with excitement. Not long after the construction of the Teleportation Array was completed, Wu Hao had helped him break through to the Initial Stage of the Immortal King, which had greatly thrilled Jiang Ye.

Until now, he could be certain that Wu Hao was definitely a being above the Immortal King; after all, even the Immortal King couldn’t help others break through to that level.

Hearing this, Wu Rulong continued, “In that case, three days from now, you will accompany me to welcome the president of the Earth Dragon Commerce Association. If Yuan Zheng makes a move, then just eliminate him.”

“Yes, President,” Jiang Ye nodded in agreement. He felt he could never repay Wu Hao’s immense kindness, but helping Wu Rulong, Wu Hao’s son, was obviously the best choice.

Time quickly passed, and the third day arrived. Cai Zhengkun opted to attend the meeting alone with a single sword. When he arrived, Wu Rulong and Jiang Ye had already been waiting for a while.

“You must be Cai Zhengkun, the president of the Earth Dragon Commerce Association. It’s a pleasure to meet you for the first time.” Wu Rulong stood up to greet Cai Zhengkun, which surprised him. Clearly, he hadn’t expected such treatment, considering he was currently from a rival faction of the Wu Commerce Association.

However, Cai Zhengkun quickly regained his composure and smiled, saying, “You must be President Wu. I’ve heard much about your name. And this must be Senior Jiang Ye, the Sect Master of the Kao Shan Sect?”

Jiang Ye nodded but did not speak.

Cai Zhengkun was not offended; after all, seniors had their own demeanor, which was quite reasonable.

“Alright, let’s take a seat first; everything can be discussed at the dining table.” With Wu Rulong’s invitation, Cai Zhengkun finally sat down.

Once Cai Zhengkun was seated, he did not pick up his chopsticks and went straight to the point. “President Wu, I want to know, are you preparing to make a move?”

Wu Rulong and Jiang Ye: ???

Before Wu Rulong and Jiang Ye could respond, Cai Zhengkun continued. “I want to know if you have any intention of making a move against Yuan Zheng. Are you determined to let the Wu Commerce Association dominate the Huang Yuan Region at any cost?”
