Chapter 2099: Chapter 2099 Parade Through The Street
Bai Feng, Feng Hongxiu and Elder Ku Rong also jointly attacked Jin Hu, making it impossible for him to distract his attention for Murong Lin.
Leiming transformed into a giant Thunder Dragon Beast. With a furious roar, another Thunder Dragon Beast split from his body, immediately striking at Murong Lin with its paw.
Other eighth-tier martial cultivators also took action, launching their attacks towards Murong Lin and his team.
They had not even provoked the seventh-tier martial practitioners, but Murong Lin’s team was already unable to hold on.
All Murong Lin could do was to use his defensive treasure to protect himself against Leiming’s attack.
Seeing this, the other seventh stage martial cultivators on Ye Liuyun’s side also together launched their attacks on Murong Lin.
Soon, other eighth stage martial cultivators also joined in, together attacking Murong Lin’s defense.
Murong Lin’s defense did not last long before it was broken.
The grand battle of the eighth and ninth rank martial cultivators immediately alarmed the entire Royal City.
"Darn it! They’ve really started fighting!" Li Minghao, the person in charge of the Wanshang Alliance in the Royal City was already paying attention to the activity in the royal palace. When the fighting started, he instantly realized that a big problem was about to happen!
Furthermore, he sensed, purely from the aura, there was even a ninth-stage strongman present, clearly not one of their own.
"Hurry! All martial cultivators of the seventh stage and above in the Chamber of Commerce, rush to the palace to rescue Murong Lin!”
While gathering his forces, Li Minghao took out a communicative charm to report to the Grand Elder of the Wanshang Alliance.
"What? How could they have started fighting?" The Grand Elder also didn’t expect this.
But he was unaware of the current situation and it was too late to send help now. He could only let Li Minghao investigate the situation, and then decide how to act.
Li Minghao immediately led his men and galloped toward the royal palace.
Yeh Liuyun had already made preparations for a bloody massacre today, thus he had already informed the soldiers, there was no need for gate-keeping.
Those martial artists had just stormed into the royal palace, and before they could even rush to the main hall, they were intercepted by powerhouses of the Hong Luan Pavilion.
The people of Hong Luan Pavilion were easily identifiable as they were all women dressed in identical red clothing.
Feng Hongxue also immediately informed Yeh Liuyun, to avoid any accidental harm to the people from Hong Luan Pavilion by Yeh Liuyun’s martial artists.
These martial practitioners fighting inside the Royal palace had drawn the entire city’s attention, with everyone suspending their respective tasks, paying attention to this, unaware of what had transpired.
"What’s going on? I heard the roar of a dragon! Could it be the Dragons fighting in the royal palace?"
"Could someone be trying to seize the throne at this unstable time of the dynasty?"
“What are the people of Wan Shang League and Hong Luan Pavilion doing there? Who the hell is fighting against whom?”
Everyone was making wild guesses.
Zhang Yunpeng showed no mercy when he made his move, directly killing Han Jian. Jin Hu was surrounded and attacked, severely injured. After the Dragon Lady employed her Hell Wrath Attack, she straightly tore Jin Hu into halves, with his virtuoso directly absorbed by her.
After the battle here had basically ended, the Dragon Lady finally made her way. Ye Liuyun then instructed Feng Hongxiu to lead the martial practitioners who were above the eighth-tier to assist Scarlet Cardinal House.
Soon, the entire team from Wan Shang League was completely annihilated. Yeh Liuyun enslaved a few heavily injured Eighth Layer martial artists, marking them with Slave Imprints. Everyone else was slaughtered.
Lei Ming brought the battered Murong Lin to Ye Liuyun, asking how he should deal with him.
Ye Liuyun first notified the experts he had sent out, telling them to speed up their actions. Now that they had openly confronted each other, there was no need to restrain themselves.
"Kill those who do not cooperate directly!"
Then he called Yu Xiaofeng and instructed him to notify Pei Yong to mobilize the armies from various places and annul every chamber of commerce belonging to the Alliance of Merchants!
Regarding Murong Lin, Ye Liuyun ordered Lei Ming to extract Murong Lin’s Yuan Dan on the spot.
"You dare? I am the legitimate child of the Murong Family! The Murong Family will not let you go!" Murong Lin threatened Ye Liuyun.
"What’s there to be afraid of? I’ve killed people! Haven’t you seen it?" Ye Liuyun flippantly waved his hand.
Lei Ming immediately took action, extracting Murong Lin’s virtuoso.
"You dare to threaten my little brother, you are really tired of living!"
Lei Ming was swift. After extracting the Yuan Dan, he even waved it in front of Murong Lin.
Murong Lin was both in pain and shock. After seeing his own virtuoso, he fainted right away.
Ye Liuyun handed Murong Lin directly to Yu Xiaofeng. "Arrange for someone to parade him through the streets. Let him publicize the fact the Alliance of Merchants sent people to kill me!
Since we’ve already taken action, we need to have the moral high ground at least. Hang these martial artists’ bodies outside the city gates!"
Yu Xiaofeng immediately arranged for people to deal with the task, removing the corpse of the Merchant Alliance.
Subsequently, Ye Liuyun called Xuan Yuaning and commanded her to immediately take over the Merchant Alliance’s chambers of commerce.
The cities that Ye Liuyun can completely occupy are only half of the eastern region.
However, even these chambers of commerce are enough to shake the foundation of the Alliance of Merchants.
The guilds in each city are all stockpiling large amounts of resources and funds. Ye Liuyun didn’t spend a penny; it was a straightforward plunder!
The guild in the Royal City was the first to suffer the plunder! Soon afterwards, Xuanyuan Ling moved in and started business anew. Zhang Yunpeng and other martial artists were also dispatched by Ye Liuyun to protect Xuanyuan Ling.
With Murong Lin under the arrangement of Yu Xiaofeng could do nothing but reveal himself through the city each day.
Although he didn’t wish to do so, he lacked integrity to resist. With even a little bit of torture from Yu Xiaofeng, he couldn’t bear it and obediently cooperated.
There was no need to sign a soul contract; he would follow Yu Xiaofeng’s instructions, telling everyone about the plot of the Commercial Alliance to assassinate Ye Liuyun and seize the Eastern Dynasty.
In no time, the Commercial Alliance was infamous and everyone was cursing them!
Murong Lin became the joke of the Murong family and the shame of the Commercial Alliance.
Many martial artists were saying that the Commercial Alliance brought this upon themselves!
At the same time, Ye Liuyun sought assistance from the Dragon Race, Chaos Beast Mountain, and Hongluan Pavilion to prevent retaliation from the Commercial Alliance.
Each of these major forces sent two powerhouses at the ninth tier to assist Ye Liuyun in defending the Regalty.
Scarlet Cardinal House, the conquered area of Ye Liuyun, also fully cooperated with him, robbing the resources of Alliance of Merchants’ guilds.
In a short while, all the guilds of the Alliance of Merchants in the regions controlled by Ye Liuyun fell, the martial practitioners within were all killed and the resources were all looted.
In just one night, the Commercial Alliance was replaced by a Lingyun Commerce Guild, with business as usual.
Although there would be some confusion at the beginning, they could basically handle it.
After the powerhouses of the Dragon Race and other major forces arrived, the elders of Xuantian Sect returned to the Xuantian Sect.
Ye Liuyun did not break his promise. To express his gratitude to Wu Kun and his disciples, he gave them a massive amount of resources. This made both Wu Kun and Liu Xing so ecstatic that they could barely close their mouths.
Of course, he did not skimp on giving medicinal herbs either, especially to his master, Jin Qingsong. Even though Elder Kuyong and Bai Feng were controlled by Ye Liuyun’s slaving seal, he still bestowed upon them a good amount of resources. He even entrusted them with returning a fair share of resources to the Northsky Sect.
The changes overwhelmed the Commerce Alliance in a very short time.
Murong Changfeng had no choice but to resume his command.
"What on earth happened? Has someone seized half of our trading guilds? When my son Lin went to the Regalty, how did he end up fighting with Ye Liuyun and being publicly humiliated? Can any of you explain this to me?"
As soon as Murong Changfeng stepped up, he started asking the remaining elders about the situation.
