"Senior Gong Lei, I heard that the headquarters of Hundred Treasure Chamber of Commerce is in trouble. I wonder how the situation is right now." Chu Tian asked.    

    

Gong Lei pondered for a while. At this moment, Xu Banshui also stood out.    

    

"Old brother Gong Lei, Chu Tian isn't an outsider. The few medicinal formulas he provided have earned our Hundred Treasure Chamber of Commerce a lot of profits. Furthermore, Chu Tian's ability isn't bad." Xu Banshui said.    

    

"Brother Xu, you are right. But, this stubborn old man of mine is too deeply rooted. It's just that this matter is too big. Brother Chu Tian, I hope that you won't spread the news after you hear it." Gong Lei said with a serious expression.    

    

"Senior Gong Lei, don't worry. There are some things that I can tell whether I should or not." Chu Tian said.    

    

"Since you have said so, I feel relieved. Actually, there's nothing to hide. I'm afraid that it won't be long before... Everyone in the world should know about this. Currently, more than 70% of the Hundred Treasure Chamber of Commerce have been transferred back to the external branch. " Gong Lei said.    

    

Chu Tian was shocked. If the Hundred Treasure Chamber of Commerce did this, their business would be severely affected. If they suddenly recalled these branches, the Hundred Treasure Chamber of Commerce's businesses in that region would surely be destroyed.    

    

"Has the Hundred Treasure Chamber of Commerce reached such a serious stage?" Chu Tian asked.    

    

"Brother Chu Tian, there's something you don't know. More than a dozen branches of the Hundred Treasure Chamber of Commerce have been destroyed. Those people are very secretive in their actions, and their attacks are extremely vicious. Many branches are unable to guard against them. They were uprooted in just one night, and only 70% of the branches were reclaimed. That's because 30% of the other branches have already been removed." Xu Banshui said.    

    

Chu Tian suddenly understood. Such a large scale branch had been uprooted. It was obvious that someone was targeting the Hundred Treasure Chamber of Commerce. The reason why Gong Lei made such a decision was because he had no choice but to do so.    

    

"Now, all the people of Hundred Treasure Chamber of Commerce have gathered in this city. If the enemies really attack us, we will fight them to the death." Gong Lei spoke.    

    

"Senior Gong Lei, although the financial resources of Hundred Treasure Chamber of Commerce are indeed powerful, I'm afraid that it won't be that easy to defeat West Liang King with just financial resources." Chu Tian said.    

    

Chu Tian's words made everyone quiet down. Gong Lei narrowed his eyes and looked at Chu Tian, while Xu Banshui looked nervous. As for Zi Ling, it seemed like she had nothing to do with him.    

    

"Brother Chu Tian, I never said that the enemy was West Liang King. You will lose your head if you say such words." Gong Lei said.    

    

"Senior Gong Lei, let's not talk about this openly. Our Chu family has a grudge with West Liang King. Also, I just found out about West Liang King's collusion with the evil cult. The Pill Cauldron Sword Sect is such a powerful sect. The destruction of the Hundred Treasure Chamber of Commerce was partly due to West Liang King stirring up trouble. The following Hundred Treasure Chamber of Commerce had become a thorn in his side. I'm sure he will pull this thorn out of his side. " Chu Tian said.    

    

"West Liang King is colluding with the evil cult! Really!"    

    

Gong Lei stood up in shock when he heard Chu Tian's words.    

    

"Of course it's true. That day, before meeting Xu Banshui... I found a hole in the underground river, and many of the cultivators were enslaved. The formation carved by the thousand feet Mechanical Beast they created was the evil sect's formation. I was also attacked by the Evil Cultivator. I was lucky enough to escape. " Chu Tian said.    

    

At this moment, Gong Lei was completely silent. Because of Chu Tian's words, his thoughts had been completely messed up.    

    

"Old Bro Gong Lei, Chu Tian isn't the kind of person who lies. I'm afraid that this matter should be true. If West Liang King really colluded with the evil sect, we have to be prepared." Xu Banshui said.    

    

"I need to replan this matter. Brother Chu Tian, I really want to thank you for bringing this news in time, but please forgive me for having important matters to attend to. I can't entertain you anymore." Gong Lei stood up and said.    

    

"Please do as you wish, Senior Gong Lei. You don't have to worry about us." Chu Tian said.    

    

Gong Lei nodded. After that, he left alone. At this moment, the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.    

    

"Brother Chu Tian, your knowledge is extraordinary. Since you have seen the evil sect before, I wonder if you know the name of the evil sect. In that case, we will have to investigate the depths of the other party as well." Xu Banshui said.    

    

"I only know the name of the evil sect, the Luosong Cult. As for the specific details, I don't know." Chu Tian said.    

    

"What!? It's the Luosong Cult. I never thought that the Luosong Cult's claws have already extended to this small country."    

    

After hearing Chu Tian's words, Xu Banshui's eyes widened in shock. It seemed like the latter had probably heard of the Luosong Cult before.    

    

"Is this Luosong Cult really that famous?" Chu Tian asked curiously.    

    

"This Luosong Cult is really incredible. Our Hundred Treasure Chamber of Commerce has traveled across several countries. I can see the silhouettes of the Luosong Cult in these few countries. Because the Cloud Rising Country isn't a very vast place. I have never been poisoned by the Luosong Cult. I never thought that the Luosong Cult had actually sneaked into my Cloud Rising Country. " Xu Banshui said.    

    

"Brother Chu Tian, I'm really sorry. This news is too important. I have to thank you for reporting it to the chairman. This way, we will be able to find a way to deal with it."    

    

After saying that, Xu Banshui left the restaurant. Currently, only Chu Tian and Zi Ling were left in the restaurant.    

    

"It's just that the Luosong Cult is making such a big fuss out of nothing. It's really hard to imagine that someone like Jian Lin would appear in such a country." Zi Ling said.    

    

"You have dealt with Jian Lin before. In your impression, what kind of person is this Jian Lin?" Chu Tian asked doubtfully.    

    

"Jian Lin can only be described as a genius. His talent is limitless. He had a smooth journey on the path of cultivation, and no one could match his strength. At least, when I met him, he was already far above his peers. Even the disciples of some ancient families would find it hard to compete with him." Zi Ling said.    

    

Chu Tian was also secretly impressed. A person who didn't have any power behind him and was ignorant of the path of cultivation. To be able to walk so smoothly on the path of cultivation, he could only be described as a genius.    

    

"Although I have been with him for some time, to be honest, I still can't understand him. I only know the surface of his face. Before this, I heard that Jian Lin had died and his Dao vanished. I am indeed surprised. It's hard for me to imagine that such a genius would die as well. " Zi Ling sighed with emotion.    

    

Chu Tian fell into deep thought. There were countless of geniuses in this world. The heavens were jealous of the countless geniuses who died prematurely, but Chu Tian still hoped that Jian Lin would still be alive. The only person who knew about the Heavenly Dao Art was probably the latter. Chu Tian was quite obsessed with the Heavenly Dao Art.    

    

From the words of this cultivation art, Chu Tian could feel that there was a huge secret hidden within it.    

    

"What do you plan to do now? With your strength... It's hard for a single person to change the fate of Hundred Treasure Chamber of Commerce. I'm afraid that the person West Liang King sent out will be an expert. It's just a mere Divine Ability Stage. No matter how strong you are, there is a limit to your strength. " Zi Ling said.    

    

"I naturally know this very well. With my current strength, it is naturally far from enough. So, the most important thing for me to do now is to quickly increase my strength." Chu Tian said.    

    

"Rapid increase in strength? I'm afraid that method will affect you. Are you really going to use that method to forcefully increase your strength?" Zi Ling reminded.    

    

"My method is naturally not that kind of forceful method. As long as you slightly use the method to ease the tension, you will naturally be able to break through to the next realm." Chu Tian said confidently.    

    

Zi Ling was quite curious about how Chu Tian was going to break through to the next realm. Life Death Stage was completely different from Divine Ability Stage. It was useless to just rely on the accumulation of strength.
