Old Loach, You're Courting Death!
Wu Liang said with anticipation:
"The true managers and stewards of the Wuchang Sea Merchant Association are so powerful that even the patriarch would have to bow down to them; they are truly important figures."
The old patriarch had considered using connections to get him in, but despite his best efforts, he was unable to contact the president of the chamber of commerce.
Therefore, Wu Liang could only follow the established path, starting from the lowest level as a sailor and fisherman, and looking forward to the Chamber of Commerce's assessment.
"The Wuchang Sea Merchant Association selects its disciples based on two criteria: first, their family background; and second, their talent for business. Cultivation talent is secondary."
"This is a great opportunity for us beings who don't have much talent for cultivation."
Wu Liang instructed:
"Ah Shui, I know you dreamed of becoming a boat owner and boat boss when you were a child, and you even ran a small fishing stall."
"Although it eventually went bankrupt."
"But brother, I believe you have a natural talent for business."
"Let's both join the Chamber of Commerce and become big shots!"
Liang Ashui felt dizzy.
Impermanence Merchant Guild?
Purple Mansion Continent!
General Chamber of Commerce!
A powerful force comparable to the Dao Court of the Purple Mansion Continent!
And me, Liang Ashui, do I really have the opportunity to join such a force?
"That power is no weaker than that of the Purple Mansion Continent. Could it be that they also Dao Court Lord backing them up?"
Liang Ashui asked the question unconsciously.
Wu Liang suddenly shuddered, and like a thief, he whispered:
"I heard our ancestor speak very cryptically, only saying that a great being once slew a dragon!"
"A Dao Lord- level old dragon has been slaughtered!"
Rumble!
A thunderclap seemed to explode in Liang Ashui's heart.
Slay the dragon!
Slay the dragon!
Slay the dragon!
His eyes suddenly lit up.
Well done! Well done!
Liang Ashui felt a surge of pleasure, but he dared not laugh out loud.
The Aquatic Race along the coast have long suffered under the Four Seas Dragon Clan.
The Four Seas Dragon Clan is like a mountain weighing down on the Aquatic Race of the coastal areas.
The tribute was paid every year without fail.
Any resistance would lead to chaos and destruction, even to the ruin of families and clans.
Moreover, in order to suppress the Aquatic Race of the four seas, every ten thousand years, the dragon race would travel across the waters and waves to kill the geniuses among the aquatic Aquatic Race, either taking them into the dragon palace as slaves or killing them directly and turning them into food.
Among Liang Ashui's clan was an ancestor who had a great chance of becoming an immortal, but he was torn apart and devoured by the Dragon Palace General of the East Sea Dragon Palace countless years ago.
Therefore, Aquatic Race of the four seas hate the dragon race.
It wasn't until the emergence of the Dao Court in the Purple Mansion Continent and the construction of Marketplace throughout the four seas to sell Daoist treasures and suppress the dragon race's power that the four seas gradually prospered.
Even the powerful Dao Court and the Four Seas Dragon Clan have a complex relationship of both enmity and friendship.
Even if there are occasional frictions, they are within a controllable range.
In any case, Liang Ashui had never heard of any immortal from the Daoist court daring to kill a true dragon from the Four Seas Dragon Palace.
Perhaps it's not that they dare not, but that they cannot?!
The powerful figure behind the Wuchang Sea Merchant Association was actually able to slaughter an old dragon at the level of an Innate Dao Lord.
Even though Liang Ashui came from humble beginnings, he was well aware of the power of beings like the Innate Dao Lord.
A single word can bring prosperity to an entire sea area, or it can annihilate an ancient clan.
Such beings are rare even among the dragon race.
'And after he was killed, the Four Seas Dragon Clan actually tolerated the Wuchang Sea Merchant Association's rampant activities throughout the Four Seas.'
What does this tell us?
'This shows that even the Four Seas Dragon Palace can't suppress the powerful figure behind the Chamber of Commerce!'
This speculation made Liang Ashui even more excited.
If he could truly join the Chamber of Commerce and become a direct disciple, it wouldn't just be a leap across social classes, but a leap into becoming a disciple of one of the most powerful forces in the world, bringing glory to his ancestors.
He suppressed his excitement.
He slapped Wu Liang hard on the shoulder and clenched his fist, waving it a few times in the air.
"Ah Liang, we must join the Wuchang Sea Merchant Association."
Let's work together!
But he didn't receive a reply from Wu Liang.
Liang Ashui looked at him with a puzzled expression.
Wu Liang's face was blank, his eyes were glazed over, and he was staring straight ahead.
"Dragon!"
"Ah Shui, that's a dragon!"
Liang Ashui suddenly turned around.
The next moment, his face turned deathly pale, devoid of any color.
All that could be seen was that thunder and lightning filled the sky above the Wuchang Sea Region, with lightning flashing like thunder serpents in the Grand Void.
Amidst the swirling Thunderclouds, a majestic azure dragon with prominent horns and head appeared and disappeared in the mist.
Its scales gleamed with a chilling light, its whiskers trembled, and its enormous head resembled Primordial Divine Mountain.
"Dragon!"
"It's a true dragon from the Dragon Palace."
"It's over! The true dragon is on a tour, stirring up trouble. Are we all going to perish in the Sea of Impermanence this time?"
"Is he looking for food to feed himself?"
"Grandpa Dragon King, spare me! Grandpa Dragon King, spare me!"
For the Aquatic Race of the four seas who do not belong to the Dragon Palace, the dragon race is a nightmare.
Wherever a true dragon roams, the winds blow and the waves crash, leaving the vast ocean devoid of life; all the creatures are transformed into the dragon's prey.
Dark clouds loomed overhead, accompanied by flashes of lightning and thunder.
Even the Fierce Beasts and spirit beasts in the sea scattered and fled.
The fleet of the Wuchang Sea Merchant Association was in complete chaos.
The fleet's captain had to come out to maintain order.
"What's the panic!"
"We are disciples of the Wuchang Sea Merchant Association. No matter how domineering the Dragon Clan may be, they would not dare to attack members of our guild without cause."
The captain's voice was like thunder, quickly silencing the cacophony on the ship.
Seeing this, he took a deep breath.
He made hand gestures.
The treasure ship shimmered with golden light, and the emblem that originally bore the logo of the Chamber of Commerce appeared on the hull.
Above a treasure Treasure Gathering Basin shimmering with wealth, two winged copper coins float.
The flashing of the emblem instantly suppressed the storm in the sea.
"Return to base!"
The captain roared.
"Return to base."
"Return to base."
Strands of magical power were channeled into the treasure ship by the people on board, instantly doubling the speed of the entire fleet.
The Azure Dragon in the Grand Void didn't even glance at the creatures below.
These creatures weren't even ants in his eyes.
After today's events, this sea area will be submerged in the torrent of time for millions of years, leaving no trace.
His pupils were fixed on the Grand Void, not daring to relax for a moment.
A moment later.
A sudden tremor came from the sky above the Sea of Impermanence.
Then a female immortal pierced through the Grand Void and descended from beyond the endless dimensions.
But there was blood at the corner of her mouth, indicating that she had suffered a serious injury.
"Fellow Daoist, do you still recognize an old friend?"
A dragon's roar summoned Wind and Thunder. Amidst the raging wind and rain, the Azure Dragon commanded the lightning and spoke in a deep voice.
A surge of murderous intent rose, carrying with it an endless chill.
The figure, enveloped in boundless crimson-gold light, possessed an air of elegance. She touched the Tai Zhen Chen Ying Crown on her head, her brows furrowed with malice, and her tone was utterly domineering:
"Just an old mudfish."
"In the past, I was able to severely injure you."
"Today..."
"Then I could beat you to death!"
Rumble!
Before she could finish speaking, the female immortal had already launched her attack.
Amidst the billowing malevolent energy, lies endless calamity and impending doom.
