A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 217

Chapter 217 Lu Ziqi’s Crisis

In the Central Plains Region, within the Wu Commerce Association.

After learning the operational methods of the Wu Commerce Association from Wu Rulong and bringing back what was needed, Lu Ziqi quickly set about launching the Wu Commerce Association, building Base Stations and Spatial Teleportation Arrays on a grand scale.

“Yes, based on the current trend, as long as we successfully open the Wu Commerce Association, we will probably become the largest commerce association in the entire Central Plains Region very soon.”

Holding a mobile phone in his hand, Lu Ziqi displayed an expression full of excitement.

But soon a thought crossed his mind, and his excited expression turned calm.

“However, the most important thing right now is the headquarters. Only with the ability to withstand the strength of Immortal Kings at headquarters can I leverage the Wu Commerce Association to achieve my goal of revenge.”

Thinking of this, Lu Ziqi’s gaze filled with intense hatred. Clearly, he was not entirely dedicated to working for the Wu Commerce Association.

Meanwhile, at the Yaoyuan Commerce Association, the largest commerce association in the Central Plains Region, the corpulent president Cai Jiuyuan looked at the documents in his hand and scoffed, saying,

“A mere commerce association from the Xuan Central Region dares to extend its reach into our Central Plains Region? Do they not fear death? And this Lu Ziqi, who was originally given a way out, insists on courting death.”

“In that case, let’s prepare a grand gift for him on the day the Wu Commerce Association opens.”

As he spoke, Cai Jiuyuan’s face was filled with murderous intent. But just then, the vice president approached him, his brow furrowed as he spoke up,

“President, this Lu Ziqi is at least a Late Stage Great Luo Golden Immortal. If we don’t inform the Master, I’m afraid we won’t be able to deal with him.”

In the vice president’s view, both the president and Lu Ziqi were Late Stage Great Luo Golden Immortals, and if they were to face off, it wouldn’t be certain that they could subdue Lu Ziqi.

Upon hearing this, Cai Jiuyuan scoffed,

“A mere Late Stage Great Luo Golden Immortal. I just broke through to the Peak of Great Luo Golden Immortal recently. If Lu Ziqi truly seeks death, I can certainly send him on his way.”

With that, Cai Jiuyuan’s aura erupted, causing the expression of the vice president, who was at the Initial Stage of Great Luo Golden Immortal, to shift to shock, but soon turned into ecstasy. After all, the stronger Cai Jiuyuan became, the stronger their Yaoyuan Commerce Association would be.

Although they had the backing of the lord of the Central Plains Region, normally, requesting the lord’s intervention would invite reproach from the other side, so they would not seek the lord’s assistance unless absolutely necessary.

“Seven days from now will be the day the Wu Commerce Association and Lu Ziqi set out!”

Looking at the information, the opening day of the Wu Commerce Association’s Central Plains branch is indeed seven days from now.

On the other side, in the Xuan Central Region, Wu Rulong called Jiang Ye in front of him.

“President, did you call for me?”

Jiang Ye’s face showed a hint of confusion. Upon hearing this, Wu Rulong got straight to the point and stated his purpose.

“The Wu Commerce Association in the Central Plains will open in seven days, and it’s inevitable that some troublemakers will come out to cause a ruckus. So, I need you to help suppress them. Of course, you don’t need to show yourself unless they take action against the Wu Commerce Association.”

Jiang Ye nodded in agreement but soon thought of something, his expression turning serious as he said,

“President, I feel that if I go with my current cultivation level, I might not be able to suppress them.”

“What do you mean by that?”

Wu Rulong raised an eyebrow, a bit puzzled.

Jiang Ye slowly replied,

“I mean that the master of the Central Plains, Lu Guan, is a strong Immortal King at the Initial Stage, and he’s an old-school Immortal King. I’ve only recently been promoted, so I’m afraid I can’t match him.”

“Is that so? In that case, let Wu Qilong go with you.”

Wu Rulong quickly thought of something. With Wu Hao training him recently, Wu Qilong had restored his realm to the Immortal King Peak, but it would take a bit more time to gain experience to reach the Immortal Emperor level again. This was a good opportunity for Wu Qilong to showcase his strength.

Upon learning that Wu Rulong wanted him to go to the Central Plains to fight, Wu Qilong was instantly excited and confidently said,

“Just watch, Rulong. It won’t take me more than three moves to wipe them out.”

“Don’t cause trouble; just follow Senior Jiang’s orders.”

What surprised Wu Qilong was that Wu Rulong actually wanted him to listen to an Initial Stage Immortal King? Even Jiang Ye couldn’t help but be shocked upon hearing this.

After all, Wu Qilong knew that he was currently at the Immortal King Peak, a level so high that even bowing down would require him to maintain a distance of three hundred miles. Just as Jiang Ye was about to decline the request, Wu Rulong waved his hand and said with great seriousness,

“Senior Wu, while I know your strength is immense, right now, you are like a trump card for the Wu Commerce Association, our most important trump card. Therefore, I don’t want you to reveal yourself too early. If you must take action, it should be only as a last resort and even then, it should be a hard-fought victory.”

Hearing Wu Rulong’s words, Wu Qilong couldn’t help but feel pleased. Now he understood his importance. However, upon hearing the latter part, his expression turned a bit grim. After a long pause, he sighed and said,

“Fine then, if that’s the case, I’ll keep a low profile, but I can’t help but wonder where that True Immortal ran off to. I’m still boiling with anger for not having killed him.”

Thinking of something, Wu Qilong’s expression darkened, and he snorted coldly.

Ever since he regained his True Immortal realm, he had begun to investigate the whereabouts of that True Immortal expert, but the other party seemed extremely cautious and hadn’t left many traces. So even with the help of the Wu Commerce Association, Wu Qilong hadn’t been able to locate him just yet.

Hearing this, Wu Rulong furrowed his brow and spoke,

“Senior Wu, I’ve already started looking into the information about that True Immortal expert. If he indeed exists, we should have news soon.”

“Okay, I understand. In that case, I’ll go to the Central Plains Region with Old Man Jiang and see what happens.”

After saying this, Wu Qilong took Jiang Ye and headed toward the Central Plains Region. With Jiang Ye’s Initial Stage cultivation, he was simply unable to contest Wu Qilong’s Immortal King Peak strength.

Watching as the two of them left, Wu Rulong stood by the window, his expression serious.

Since Lu Ziqi’s arrival, many people had come to the Wu Commerce Association, using the excuse of establishing branches in other regions to take away a considerable amount of resources.

However, through Wu Rulong’s investigation, he discovered that only half of those had genuinely gone on to open branches; the other half had taken the resources from the Wu Commerce Association and fled.

“Think you can take my Wu Commerce Association’s things and run away? Not a chance. If they still don’t behave properly after intimidating the Central Plains Region, then they might as well prepare for death.”

As the first branch of the Wu Commerce Association, Wu Rulong naturally cared about this matter. By sending Jiang Ye and Wu Qilong there, he had two objectives.

The first was that the other party was the first person to do work for the Wu Commerce Association, and they could not afford to let anything happen to him.

The second was to use this opportunity to show everyone that the Wu Commerce Association has the strength to back up its words. Anyone who dared to oppose the Wu Commerce Association should be prepared for a fight to the death.
