Xu Zhen did not publicize the fact that Treasure Pavilion Submission the Su Family; he would not be so clever as to do such things on his own.
In Xu Zhen's view, the best way for him to Submission the Su Family was to act like a fool, not to make any decisions, and to consult Su Chen on every single one.
Although this will significantly reduce the score, at least it will ensure that no mistakes are made.
For example, regarding the matter of Submission the Su Family, he could choose to publicize it, which would be entirely beneficial to the Su Family's development. With the support of their Treasure Pavilion, they could avoid a lot of trouble in the early stages.
But it's unnecessary.
Because Su Chen did not give any instructions.
This happened shortly after Su Hua broke through to the True Immortal.
In a luxurious Courtyard in Fengyu City, three people gathered. They all possessed powerful auras and were at the True Immortal Cultivation Level.
Two of them possessed even stronger auras than Xu Zhen, while the remaining one was roughly equal to Xu Zhen.
These three are the President of the three top Trade Association of commerce in Fengyu City: Zhao Tai of the Tengyun Chamber of Commerce, Wu Mu of the Haishan Chamber of Commerce, and Sun Qiliang of the Qianli Chamber of Commerce.
Zhao Tai first took a sip of tea, then spoke first, "Gentlemen, how do you plan to handle the matter of the Treasure Pavilion?"
The business model in Fengyu City was actually established long ago: the three companies jointly owned half of the market share, while the other half was shared by other large and small Trade Association.
And it has never been broken in all these years.
Now, another True Immortal Realm has emerged from the Treasure Pavilion, whose strength is second only to theirs, and even comparable to the Qianli Chamber of Commerce.
This has seriously threatened their position.
Each of the Three Great Merchant Associations has two True Immortal cultivators, which is why they can control half of the entire Fengyu City.
But now that another Treasure Pavilion has been added, the situation has become somewhat delicate.
Wu Mu frowned and said coldly, "There are only so many slots available in Fengyu City. With the addition of another True Immortal expert to the Treasure Pavilion, they will inevitably expand their influence."
"At that time, all three of us will be affected. I suggest that we join forces and eliminate Treasure Pavilion."
Upon hearing this, the other two narrowed their eyes.
Destroying Treasure Pavilion outright is indeed a good idea.
The main reason was that they felt the threat posed by the Treasure Pavilion was too great.
Especially Su Hua.
He has only Ascension the Immortal Realm for a few years, yet he has already broken through to the True Immortal Realm.
He seems to have Divine Body, a rare Constitution that would make him a prodigy even if he entered the Xuntian Sect Heavenly Prodigy.
Perhaps it won't be long before he breaks through again.
Once Su Hua grows up, things will be unstoppable.
Zhao Tai said with a half-smile, "However, this matter may not be easy to handle. Although Treasure Pavilion only has two True Immortal Realm experts, and the three of us joining forces would indeed be unable to withstand it, there are many people in Fengyu City who do not want Treasure Pavilion to be destroyed."
Many people in Fengyu City were dissatisfied with the three families, feeling that the Three Great Merchant Associations taking up half of the market share was too much.
The emergence of the Treasure Pavilion can now significantly influence the status of the Three Great Merchant Associations.
Therefore, some people secretly wanted to use Treasure Pavilion to break the alliance of the Three Great Merchant Associations, so that they could gain more benefits from it.
Therefore, if we directly target Treasure Pavilion, other Trade Association will Certain come to our aid.
Upon hearing this, the other two fell silent, their brows furrowed and expressions thoughtful.
After a moment, Wu Mu spoke with a smile:
"President Zhao, our three families share both prosperity and adversity. You are the strongest and most intelligent, so you must have a solution, right?"
He truly had no way to deal with this Treasure Pavilion. Even if he were to destroy it, it would be virtually impossible for other True Immortal experts in Fengyu City to do so.
However, if Treasure Pavilion is not destroyed, it will definitely threaten the interests of the Three Great Merchant Associations in the future.
Zhao Tai smiled faintly and said casually, "Xu Zhen is only a True Immortal Middle Stage. As for Su Hua, he has only just broken through to True Immortal, and he probably hasn't fully adapted to his new realm yet."
"If we can't even handle them, then this alliance is meaningless."
Both of them looked puzzled upon hearing this.
What does this mean?
They all knew Su Hua's cultivation level. Although he wasn't the strongest, he was still True Immortal Realm. Killing him wouldn't be so easy.
Looking at their expressions, Zhao Tai felt a sense of disdain.
Two pigs!
That's incredibly stupid.
They were even helpless against the Treasure Pavilion.
Having these two as teammates was truly frustrating for him, but there's an advantage to their stupidity: they're easier to control.
Zhao Tai picked up the teapot, refilled the teacup with water, and then continued:
"For so many years, we've been selling countless Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to the Dunshi Sect at low prices. Now that we're in trouble, it's not unreasonable to ask them for help, is it?"
"The Great Elder of the Dunshi Sect already told me that if I encounter any problems that I can't solve in the future, I can seek his help."
"With the Dunshi Sect backing us up, even if they don't intervene, no one else will dare to interfere if we destroy the Treasure Pavilion."
"In that case, the Treasure Pavilion can be easily destroyed."
The Dunshi Sect is also Affiliated Force under the Xuntian Sect. It is powerful and can be considered a top-tier vassal force.
His sect has one Half-step Profound Immortal expert and six True Immortal.
For them, destroying Treasure Pavilion was not difficult at all.
Their eyes lit up after hearing this.
Wonderful!
Why didn't they think of this? Although the Three Great Merchant Associations had only a casual relationship with the Dunshi Sect, they were still intertwined with each other's interests. Without the Three Great Merchant Associations, the Dunshi Sect would not have been able to buy so many things at prices below market value.
Moreover, the Three Great Merchant Associations would also store and collect specific items according to the needs of the Dunshi Sect.
Can Treasure Pavilion do this?
Even if they could achieve that, Treasure Pavilion's foundation wasn't as good as theirs, and its network of connections and resources weren't as abundant as the Three Great Merchant Associations.
Therefore, if the Dunshi Sect wants to continue as before, it will inevitably need to help them resolve the Treasure Pavilion.
With interests at stake, why would they worry that the Dunshi Sect wouldn't intervene?
Moreover, Treasure Pavilion's strength is only so-so. If they weren't wary of other forces in Fengyu City intervening, the Three Great Merchant Associations could have easily wiped out Treasure Pavilion.
There's no need for the Dunshi Sect to intervene.
"As expected of President Zhao, he is truly a master strategist. This move of using someone else to do the dirty work is brilliant!"
"That's right. With President Zhao leading the way, our Three Great Merchant Associations will Certain do better and better."
Wu Mu both started flattering and fawning, their faces full of ingratiation.
Zhao Tai smiled calmly, then poured tea for the two of them, and the conversation continued.
Three days Past in the blink of an eye.
Su Hua was very efficient and quickly arranged for the Su Family to be located in the heart of Fengyu City.
They spent a lot of money to buy the best Courtyard, which can accommodate almost a thousand people, like a small Imperial Palace.
Even after learning that Xu Zhen had submitted to Su Chen, Su Hua's expression remained unchanged; in his view, this was perfectly normal.
For Xu Zhen, this is a great opportunity.
"Family Head, this is the Su Family's Courtyard."
