A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 220

Chapter 220: Jiang Ye Takes Action, Lu Guan Appears

“Hey, I didn’t expect that after watching Cai Jiuyuan and Lu Ziqi struggle for so many years, they’re finally going to settle this?”

“Indeed, it’s said that Cai Jiuyuan once plotted against Lu Ziqi, forcibly claiming Lu Ziqi’s Dao Companion as his own. Lu Ziqi’s Dao Companion could not endure the humiliation and chose to self-destruct, which led to a bitter feud between Lu Ziqi and Cai Jiuyuan.”

“But I must say, if it weren’t for Lu Guan secretly protecting Cai Jiuyuan, Lu Ziqi would have probably eliminated Cai Jiuyuan long ago.”

“What boldness, daring to speak ill of the ruler of the Central Plains Region behind his back! Don’t they fear for their lives?”

“Regardless, I’m quite interested in what the Wu Commerce Association has to offer; it would be good if they could survive.”

“What are you thinking? A mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. With the Yaoyuan Commerce Association in the Central Plains Region, there’s absolutely no room for the Wu Commerce Association unless the Wu Commerce Association can eliminate the Yaoyuan Commerce Association. But with Lu Guan, this Immortal King, backing them, do you think that’s possible?”

“Hmm, I’ll silently mourn for the Wu Commerce Association for a few minutes.”

The previous guests watching from a distance couldn’t help but feel sorrow for the Wu Commerce Association and Lu Ziqi.

Even Lu Ziqi felt a sense of despair, secretly thinking to himself, “A Li, I’ll come down to accompany you now, but not being able to avenge you still makes me very uncomfortable.”

Cai Jiuyuan’s face twisted with excitement, clearly thrilled at the prospect of finally being able to eliminate his archrival, Lu Ziqi.

But at that moment, Jiang Ye could no longer sit still and let out a sigh.

“Stop it.”

With that, Jiang Ye appeared in front of Lu Ziqi, casually waving his sleeve and sending Cai Jiuyuan flying, severely injuring him as he crashed to the ground.

“What!”

Now it was Cai Jiuyuan’s turn to be shocked; he never expected that someone from the Wu Commerce Association would remain so calm and only act now.

With Jiang Ye’s appearance, everyone present was stunned. They hadn’t anticipated that the Wu Commerce Association had indeed sent someone to protect Lu Ziqi, and it appeared that this person was an Immortal King of similar strength to Lu Guan.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t explain how he could send Cai Jiuyuan flying with just one slap.

“Cough, cough, Senior, it seems a bit inappropriate for you to intervene in this matter. Lu Ziqi initiated the attack against me; I was just retaliating.”

Cai Jiuyuan, lying on the ground, looked at Jiang Ye with an extremely ugly expression. Jiang Ye, however, remained calm, turning to toss a pill to Lu Ziqi, saying, “Swallow this pill; it will help you recover from your injuries.”

“Thank you, Senior,” Lu Ziqi quickly replied, then swallowed the pill and began to refine it. With the Wu Commerce Association intervening, he no longer needed to worry about what was to come.

After completing this, Jiang Ye finally turned to Cai Jiuyuan, his expression exceedingly cold as he asked, “What did you just say?”

“Senior, aren’t you being a bit too domineering? This is the Central Plains Region; are you not afraid of Lu Guan’s intervention?”

Cai Jiuyuan was startled by Jiang Ye’s gaze, but he quickly realized that this was indeed the territory of Senior Lu Guan, who was the master of the Central Plains Region and also the backbone of the Yaoyuan Commerce Association. If he backed down, it would implicitly mean that Lu Guan was backing down as well. If Lu Guan found out, he wouldn’t have a good outcome.

Jiang Ye snorted coldly, ready to retort that Lu Guan was irrelevant, that if he dared to come, he would be killed, but he was interrupted by the sudden appearance of Wu Qilong.

Wu Qilong spoke impatiently, “Old Jiang, why waste words with him? Anyone daring to act against members of the Wu Commerce Association is seeking death. Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Palm!”

As Wu Qilong leaped forward, a massive palm print appeared in the sky. It resembled a giant mountain rather than just a palm print.

Seeing the mountain, the powerful figures outside couldn’t help but gasp in shock. From Wu Qilong’s blow, they sensed an overwhelming aura of power; Wu Qilong was undoubtedly a strong Immortal King, and not just any Immortal King at that.

At this moment, they were all immensely shocked, filled with curiosity about the terrifying strength of the Wu Commerce Association, which could dispatch two Immortal Kings simply to protect Lu Ziqi.

However, they weren’t certain if there were any other powerful figures hiding in reserve; what if another Immortal Sovereign appeared later?

Meanwhile, Cai Jiuyuan, lying on the ground, couldn’t even beg for mercy. Under the pressure of Wu Qilong’s palm, moving was a luxury. He could only watch helplessly as the Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Palm of Wu Qinlong descended, and he was obliterated along with the vice president of the Yaoyuan Commerce Association, who had done nothing.

“Stop!”

It wasn’t until Cai Jiuyuan was killed that Lu Guan, the master of the Central Plains Region with two antler-like horns, finally arrived at the scene. Indeed, Lu Guan was not a human; he was a mystical deer transformed into human form.

At that moment, Lu Guan’s expression was extremely unpleasant. He hadn’t expected someone to dare to kill his people in his territory. It should be noted that Lu Guan placed great importance on Cai Jiuyuan; after all, despite Cai being a bit lewd, his business acumen was undeniable.

During Cai Jiuyuan’s management of the Yaoyuan Commerce Association, he had brought immense benefits to Lu Guan, allowing him to breakthrough to the Intermediate Stage of the Immortal King realm. Indeed, just recently, Lu Guan had successfully advanced to the Intermediate Stage of the Immortal King, but he had kept a low profile, so no one had realized it until now.

“Jiang Ye, I didn’t expect you to have broken through to the Immortal King realm too. And this unknown Immortal King—what is it? Do you, Jiang Ye, really think that two Initial Stage Immortal Kings could compete with me?”

Lu Guan looked at Jiang Ye, his expression full of murderous intent. Jiang Ye before him did not conceal his aura; he was indeed an Initial Stage Immortal King. As for Wu Qilong, because he had masked his presence, Lu Guan had not discerned Wu Qilong’s true level and perceived him as just another ordinary Initial Stage Immortal King.

If Lu Guan had not advanced himself, he would have conceded some face to Jiang Ye and acknowledged the situation. But now, not to mention two Initial Stage Immortal Kings, he could easily handle ten of them; they would not be his opponents.

Thus, Lu Guan was curious about where Jiang Ye found the confidence to stir up trouble in his territory.
