The First Step!

The Da Jin Merchant Association.

When Chen Cang returned, dragging his ailing body, he immediately sought out the head of the Da Jin Merchant Association and embellished his experience at the White Crane Merchant Association, stirring up the head's fury.

"These people actually have the nerve to do this. They really can't see the situation clearly." Yan Xiaotian's expression was gloomy as he gave a cold laugh.

The local forces of Nanyan City—those defeated subordinates—actually still had the nerve to resist. Could they really not understand who was in control of the new authorities now?

The Da Jin Merchant Association was one of the Ninglu forces.

All their actions now amounted to enjoying the dividends of the Ninglu Army's victory. It was an unspoken rule tacitly accepted by all sides!

He had never expected them to encounter resistance.

He was furious.

"Leaving these people alive was truly a terrible idea on the Sin Lord's part. If you ask me, we should wipe them all out and take all the benefits for ourselves!"

After venting his emotions, Yan Xiaotian secretly slandered the Sin Lord. He then sent someone to inquire about the White Crane Merchant Association, only to learn that it was not some minor force they could bully at will.

It was actually a medium-to-large force with a supreme-realm martial artist stationed there!

His arrogance shriveled at once. He turned around and began lecturing Chen Cang instead.

"I told you before that even if you want to take advantage of someone, you have to look at the situation. You should squeeze the softer persimmons, not touch the hard bones. Although the general situation is like this now, there are some forces we can't afford to provoke. If they truly resist and we suffer a loss, we'll have to endure it."
