Eternal Martial Soul

The war had finally begun. The flames of war were rising from all directions, the golden spear and iron horse, the heroic hymns whistled through the air, and the citizens were filled with grievances as they sank into misery!    

They were just a small group of people with no big ambitions, nor were they able to understand the strategy of the ambitious people. What they wanted was just a peaceful and comfortable life.    

But now, all the good things had been destroyed, as if this was destined to become a disaster that would engulf the entire Ten Thousand Beast Sect, both internally and externally. The Demon race was attacking from all sides, and the most dangerous place was the headquarters, where the various sects were in danger.    

Although the 150 cities of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect were well-prepared, they could not issue any orders nor send any experts to guard the city. They were naturally not the opponent of any major power, and were in the midst of defeat.    

"Ah, the war really started? Why, the people of the Great Circle were so despicable. They didn't care about our lives. Those people, in order to take the city, they would do anything! It's only been a few hours, and my eldest son has already died under the blade of an enemy. "My son!" The old farmer in Fringe City cried.    

"My two children have both died on the battlefield. Those people and I are absolutely irreconcilable. Let's go all out!" One of them was a lady with unkempt hair and bright red eyes.    

"This won't do. If this goes on, we won't be able to stop it!" More and more people were filled with despair.    

"Do you think the Ten Thousand Beast Sect can make it through this time? In fact, the Ten Thousand Beast Sect has been very good to us all these years. As long as we pay taxes on time every year, we will be safe. "Once this city becomes someone else's, then …" Some people were terrified.    

"I am the lord of the city. Since the enemy is powerful, the city is in a hurry. I humbly request that all of you take out your weapons and go to war!" We will work together to overcome difficulties and protect our homeland! I also know that the city has changed hands. They will not slaughter the people, but are you willing to do so? This Fen City is our common home, a place for all of you to struggle and build your entire lives! In fact, many of the ancestral tombs were buried within the city! Until the very last moment, we must not give up! " A loud shout rang out.    

"It's the mayor's voice. Right, the mayor is right. Defend our homeland." Someone responded.    

"That's right, my two sons, father will take revenge for you." An old man raised his hoe.    

"Rumble!" The civilians and generals reacted immediately and clashed against the enemy army. The battle officially began with countless mournful cries.    

One hundred and fifty cities had more than ten million citizens. Although they were all minor characters and didn't have much courage, they couldn't possibly risk their lives just for the sake of the sect! But what if it was to defend the city? For his home? For the hatred of his loved ones? That is very different.    

All these years, although Ten Thousand Beast Sect could not be said to have good governance, but she still lived happily ever after.    

In the hearts of these citizens, there was still a great deal of respect and recognition, especially from the City Lord and the others. Immediately, a lot of commoners started to fight with bloodshot eyes.    

"Bastard!" Do you think that just by encouraging the people, you can stop it? "Hahaha, dispatch some martial artists for me, take down the city lord, and kill the general. Once the leader dies, his army will become chaotic, and those foolish people will naturally follow ~ ~ ~ ~ ~" At the border, the Emperor of the Great Circle said coldly.    

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The civil and military officials immediately answered, and the national machine began to operate.    

The war had started, and the city inside was not in danger for the time being, but it was also very noisy, and the border city could not withstand it. Usually, when warriors appeared, they would kill the guards, the mayor, and the army would attack them.    

At this moment, the s of the neighboring middle sects were having an intense battle.    

"Li Huo Zong, are you all heartless for doing this? "Civilians, this city lord's death is not to be regretted. Soldiers, do not give up, the sect has not been destroyed. We still have hope. As long as the sect can catch their breath, they will definitely retaliate and retake the city!" The mayor shouted.    

"Hahaha, that's right. Li Huo Zong also doesn't dare to massacre a city, it would only anger the Heavens and Earth, they cannot afford it. Everyone, be at ease and wait, the sect will definitely … "Ahhh!" The Guardian roared.    

"Mayor!"    

"Ah, the general is dead!" The citizens and soldiers of the wheat city were feeling extreme grief and indignation.    

"Haha, Ten Thousand Beast Sect, we've long since been too busy to take care of ourselves. If they really want to attack, then we Li Huo Zong will take care of it! "Those who are in trouble shall be killed without mercy. All soldiers and soldiers in the city must put down their weapons and accept the orders from our sect." An elder of Li Huo Zong laughed.    

Some of the soldiers resisted, but they were quickly suppressed by the blood. They were not a match for the Li Huo Zong, and under such helplessness, for the safety of their families and citizens, most of them chose to submit.    

This was not shameful at all. If they continued to fight, they would be destroyed. Now, it was finally time for them to catch their breath.    

"Elder Huo, our Li Huo Zong is one of the twelve great powers. We seized a city first, but this wheat city is a Ten Thousand Beast Sect. Corpses were strewn across the blood-stained city walls, giving off a sorrowful feeling. A red robed martial artist said excitedly.    

"Very good, although the price we have to pay is too heavy, but at least we can take it. It's a pity that our Li Huo Zong is not just about the imperial court, we don't really do well enough to recruit talented people! "As for the disciples of this old man, most of them are not experts in managing the cities to pacify the common people." The leading old man looked at the chaos below and frowned as she spoke.    

"Elder Huo, we can draw out a group of officials from the various cities at the borders of the sect. In addition, we can bribe many officials in the wheat city! These officials cannot be used in the wheat city. However, once our sect seizes the next city, we can have these capable officials surrender to another city to support our sect! This way, the officials in the other city would not have much of a reputation and have no foundation. Although the results would be a bit slow, there would be no more unrest! "However, in terms of managing the city, we are indeed much weaker than the imperial and imperial dynasties. Sigh ~ ~ ~ ~" A shrewd inner court disciple had come up with a plan.    

"This is the difference between a sect and a dynasty!" The other, the middle-aged disciple said in a deep voice.    

"Alright, what you say makes sense. Let's do it." Elder Flame relaxed his brows.    

"Yes, elder!" All the Li Huo Zong disciples started to move. Suddenly, an inner disciple rushed in and said respectfully, "Elder Huo, there is a shop in the city called 'Lu Chamber of Commerce', it has been comforting the citizens. Not only did they send out a large amount of men to travel everywhere and persuade the citizens to put down their weapons, they have also mobilized a large amount of resources.    

As for the commoners, they seem to be extremely obedient to them. branch guild leader, you must request to see an elder. "    

"Oh? Lu Chamber of Commerce, can the citizens of wheat city listen to what they say? " Surprised, Elder Mai nodded his head and said lightly: "Alright then, let him come over. This old man will meet him."    

In next to no time, the inner court disciple brought along a middle-aged man. The young man was slightly fat, and he had an intelligent expression on his face, yet he didn't say anything. One of the inner sect disciples rebuked angrily, "You are the branch chairman of the 'Lu Chamber of Commerce'? "Let me ask you, were it you guys who kept sending troops, rations, and weapons to the wheat city, allowing us to suffer heavy losses when we attack the city ~ ~"    

"My sect has already investigated this situation and you still dare to come?" The crowd angrily glared at him.    

"What's wrong with merchants taking advantage of each other? Before, Lord Wheat promised us Lu Chamber of Commerce countless benefits to support our Chamber of Commerce. Furthermore, what we provided were all things that the common people needed ~ ~ ~ ~ " The middle-aged branch guild leader was rather calm. There wasn't the slightest trace of fear in his voice as he said this solemnly.    

"Humph!" Haha, it's really funny that you placed such a treasure in Ten Thousand Beast Sect. Let me tell you, Ten Thousand Beast Sect is done for, wheat city is always our Li Huo Zong's. " A young man shouted.    

However, our Lu Chamber of Commerce, because of the help we provided, in the hearts of the citizens of the wheat city, has a lot of people's prestige. We owe a lot to a few families and citizens, and it can even be said that it is more effective than the words of some officials! The city is in chaos right now, your sect must be having a headache. With us here and with the help of the army, we should be able to calm down and calm down quickly.    

Other than that, more importantly, the money, food, and supplies provided by my 'Lu Chamber of Commerce' are all free at this stage. The middle-aged man laughed.    

"Elder, what he said is not unreasonable. It's impossible for all the people in our sect to all be stationed in the wheat city, and once the first batch of officials is transferred over, they will have to set up the next city. So, we have to calm the citizens as soon as possible, otherwise, it would be unimaginable." A disciple said.    

"Merchants are fighting for profits. The losses from before are already not small. The war is still long. I can't afford to waste it." Another inner court disciple also spoke towards the elder, "You must save your resources!"    

"What happened before cannot be blamed on the Lu Chamber of Commerce, they were merely tricked by wheat city's group. Now, wheat city changed owners, all their previous investments have been wasted, the procedures wheat city gave them, have become a piece of paper, and they have lost countless of things." Someone said.    

"That's right. Speaking of which, the biggest loss is' Lu Chamber of Commerce ', not our Li Huo Zong!" The disciples all spoke out in unison as they tried to persuade the elders.    

This scene seemed to have been bribed. Elder Huo's face darkened, he naturally guessed that this' Lu Chamber of Commerce 'must have given these disciples a huge gift. He held back his dissatisfaction and said in a deep voice, "Mm, that's it!"    

"Hahaha, many thanks, Elder Huo. This is a small gift, disrespectful ~ ~ ~" The branch guild leader smiled and took out a storage ring.    

"En!" Elder Huo received it casually. After sensing it for a moment, his eyes lit up. The dissatisfaction from before was immediately gone. Actually, his dissatisfaction was only because he had not received the bribe. When he saw the 'present' in the storage ring, he was elated. "Very good, very good Lu Chamber of Commerce, you guys are very good at being human! I also won't let you suffer any losses. This way, my Li Huo Zong will be able to fulfill what the wheat city's master and officials promised you! In the future, your Lu Chamber of Commerce will be your dragon heads. "    

"In that case, I'll have to thank you!" The middle-aged branch guild leader said with a smile.    

"Hahaha, go on!" Elder Huo laughed.    

Immediately, an inner disciple brought the branch president to complete the procedures.    

It was actually easy to obtain the approval of the Li Huo Zong and promise of support after the city changed hands. The other merchants in the city were dumbfounded.    

"This?" Lu Chamber of Commerce is too shameless, weren't you? Previously, you fawned over the City Lord, now you want to bribe Elder Huo? " Those merchants were terrified when they saw Lu Chamber of Commerce donate large amounts of money and bribe large amounts of money. Lu Chamber of Commerce, you must be crazy!    

"Hahaha, they were afraid that the Li Huo Zong would take revenge on them, so they gritted their teeth to endure the previous losses and bribed again. This time, they must have spent a lot of money to calm the Li Huo Zong's anger. "Find funds for me. Wait until the city is peaceful and we can lower the price of our supplies. We'll squeeze out this annoying Lu Chamber of Commerce first and then we'll talk about it ~ ~ ~" When several chairman of a merchant guild heard the news, they gave a mocking order.    

"This doesn't seem right. I keep having the feeling that the Lu Chamber of Commerce has quite the scheming ~ ~ ~ ~ ~" There were also those who were more shrewd, who frowned and began their analysis.    

It was not just the wheat city alone. On the other side of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, people were still fighting, fighting for their lives and lives. At the same time, a few days later, dozens of cities on the border were seized by other forces.    

At the most critical time, the figure of this' Lu Chamber of Commerce 'appeared. Everywhere it passed, it donated money, food, and property, and it exorbitantly opened up the joints of the people in the cities, causing the powers that occupied the cities to acknowledge it and vigorously support it.    

Sometimes in a war, people fought for money. In a war, people fought for money. In a war, people fought for money.    

The leaders of the various forces shared the same thoughts as many merchants. They believed that the reason the Lu Chamber of Commerce suddenly tried to please them and donated their resources was to avoid retaliation.    

Therefore, with such a good thing, how could they refuse? The Lu Chamber of Commerce was not only able to help them, pacify the common people, and even offer countless of wealth for them. The grain and military supplies sold to him were at a favorable price, and the quality was even better than that of the other chambers of commerce?    

"Money can make a ghost work. The words of the president are very reasonable!" The branch guild leaders said.    

Three days later, the war was still going on. It was still going on like a raging fire as the Ten Thousand Beast Sect retreated step by step.    

— —    

Due to the tight war at the front lines, Peng Cheng had long fallen into a state of martial law. At the same time, the city lord had also dispatched a large number of spies to scout the surroundings.    

On this day, the City Governor's Estate was in complete solemnity.    

"Your Lu Chamber of Commerce, in the wheat city, and in the branches of Fen City, has already pledged allegiance to the enemy. I heard that you have been extremely attentive to those people. "How do you explain that?" The City Lord roared.    

"That's right, you guys actually dared to betray the Ten Thousand Beast Sect!" The leaders present all stared angrily.    

"Why not? Of course, it is also for the good of the citizens of each city. Since the city has changed owners, if there is any unrest, the losers will be the citizens. If we continue to pacify the citizens, at least the citizens will temporarily be safe. " The branch guild leader said.    

"Humph!" That sounds good, but your Lu Chamber of Commerce is on the other hand. " City Lord Peng was infuriated as he said in a cold voice, "In that case, if Peng Cheng falls, all of you will fall as well!"    

"That's for sure. Businessmen are for profit. This has always been the case since ancient times!" Peng Cheng will not lose a single day. Peng Cheng Branch will stand on the City Lord's side and provide all sorts of materials, food, and military supplies. In this way, in the future, if Peng City still loses, it will be fated by the heavens. " The branch guild leader nodded.    

"Oh, you guys are still supporting us? Aren't you afraid that those powers will suspect your branch if they find out?" The other city's finance minister suddenly frowned and said in a low voice, "It's hard to deal with him."    

For example, you all have never trusted our Lu Chamber of Commerce, right? However, we are just businessmen. As long as the goods we provide are not a problem, they can inspect them as they please! The people from the Chamber of Commerce would only say that we were coerced by the City Lord and the others, so we had no choice but to do this! It didn't matter if they believed him or not, but in the end, they couldn't let go of such huge benefits! Just like you all, blackmailing our 'Lu Chamber of Commerce', is simply a business of no origin. " The branch guild leader said solemnly.    

"Humph!" You'd better not play any tricks! " The City Lord ordered with a dark face and his brows creased. "From today onwards, the Lu Chamber of Commerce will inspect any items that you provide even more strictly."    

"Yes, City Lord." The faces of the Peng Cheng leaders turned solemn, and they immediately replied in agreement.    

"If there are no other instructions, I will be taking my leave!" The branch guild leader of Peng Cheng clasped his fist.    

"Master, this Lu Chamber of Commerce is really strange? "She actually got two sets!" Someone said.    

"This person from the merchant guild is too shrewd. It's as though they had already predicted this situation. Just now, this person should have a calm demeanor and not be nervous at all." Someone said.    

"There are many monsters in this chaotic world! This Lu Chamber of Commerce's president, could probably be counted as one ~ ~ ~ " City Lord Peng frowned, her eyes flashing.    

The few of them discussed for a while, but were unable to part with the support of the Lu Chamber of Commerce, as this was truly like a 'deal without a source', all they did was make a promise, complete the 'procedures', the Lu Chamber of Commerce would send over countless resources, and it was exactly what they needed right now, who wouldn't be tempted?    

However, the Lu Chamber of Commerce had their own business path, hiring a large number of warriors. Although they had their own army, the enemy was outside, and even after the various City Lords, City Lord Peng and the others had discussed it, they still did not dare to take the risk.    

"Rumble ~ ~ ~" The flames of war were flying and the horns were crying. Countless brave warriors were fighting with bloodshed. The Ten Thousand Beast Sect was still losing ground in the battle; this was unavoidable ~ ~    

There were also some lords who chose to surrender to the city, but that was only a small number of them after all.    

Most of them still ruled one side. Their hearts were against the sect as they battled with their blood soaked hearts and hearts, the military and the citizens alike.    

Beneath the flames of war and the resentment of the people, the figure of the Lu Chamber of Commerce did not seem to affect the direction of the war at all. However, with countless amounts of wealth and money clearing the way, it was actually able to move with ease within the cities of the twelve great powers and the Ten Thousand Beast Sect.    

The twelve great strength continued to attack the city and they had already noticed that as long as the city was taken by them, the Lu Chamber of Commerce would immediately turn towards them and 'swear allegiance' to them. At that time, it would be much easier to pacify the citizens and tidy up the city. Why not? It was nothing more than admitting the legitimacy and reasonable status of the company?    

"Aiya, it's better for these merchants to be from Lu Chamber of Commerce. Not only will they give us money and food, they will also send people to help us transport the rocks and soil and rebuild our homes." The people in the defeated city were filled with gratitude. They did not resent or despise the 'fence-sitter' of the 'Lu Chamber of Commerce' in the city.    

After all, this was human nature.    

In Lu Chamber of Commerce, they had obtained practical benefits, the greatest care and help.    

In times of crisis, providing coal in the midst of snow was the most precious thing!    

How many people were grateful to him?    

The battle of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect continued. This battle was getting more and more difficult, the 'Heavenly Dipper Sword and Earth Fiend Formation' was gone, and the Ten Thousand Beast Sect was completely on the defensive.    

Ten days later, the Ten Thousand Beast Sect's losses were even worse. Only in Great Green Mountain, where Su Huai, Lei Yufeng, Elder Tian Xing, and a large amount of other experts gathered to fight against the horde of demons.    

"Let's go all out, these demon clan members are crazy and won't let us get away?" Someone roared.    

"You're right, defend the sect and guard the Great Green Mountain!" The sulcus nose spat out blood and roared.    

"You overestimate yourself! Give me the strength of Tu Zong ~ ~ ~" The faces of the various heavyweights all revealed a sinister light.    

Ten Thousand Beasts City was a station for Lu Chamber of Commerce and a group of higher-ups were all looking at the President who was standing by the window with his hands behind his back. They revealed expressions of reverence and excitement: "President, this time …!"    

"How is it?" Lv Buwei did not even turn back as he stood with his hands behind his back, staring at the battle that was about to begin.    

"Everything is going according to your plan. Whether it is the cities of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect or the twelve great forces, they have not acted against our people." A middle-aged man said in awe.    

"That's right, although we have suffered huge losses, all the cities have received good reviews, and the hearts of the common people are with our Lu Chamber of Commerce! "The president is right, no matter when, the main consumer, must be the common people, getting the approval of the main consumer, our goods, good quality, in the future, will definitely be the biggest winner ~ ~ ~" Another astute merchant also looked at Lv Buwei in agreement.    

"That's right. The other chambers of commerce are still mocking us. What they don't know is that each and every one of them are short-sighted. Our guild leader is only interested in the bigger picture!" Everyone began to praise him.    

"Ha!" What the other merchant guilds view it as has nothing to do with me, and nothing to do with our 'Lu Chamber of Commerce'. Do you really think that no one will be able to see through our intentions? Besides, we are already working on this plan. No matter how much they learn, it will not have any effect, and this plan, no matter how dangerous it is, will not allow any mistakes to occur! If we make a mistake, it would mean the destruction of a branch of the city. If there is a chain reaction, all of the branches might be destroyed, which would be a huge risk for us ~ ~ ~ " Lv Buwei said in a deep voice.    

"Next, all of you, go and do it. I do not wish for any branch power organization to have problems ~ ~ ~ ~ ~" Lv Buwei waved his sleeves and gave the order again. He continued to watch the battle.    

"Yes, President!" The expressions of all the Lu Chamber of Commerce s turned solemn, and they immediately answered.    

The war was raging like wildfire. The Lu Chamber of Commerce seemed to be playing the role of a merchant, but it seemed like it wasn't? Some of them were smart enough to see the plot clearly. Some of them were kept in the dark, but no matter what? No one stepped forward to stop him.    

Because of the appearance and the obstruction, they had severed the path of wealth from the various cities in the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, offending too many people, and did not have any tangible benefits, who would be willing to do that?
