Han Yi Merchant Guild

"Han Yi Merchant Guild?"

This name sounds familiar, doesn't it?

At that moment, someone suddenly realized and said, "I remember now."

"The Han Yi Merchant Guild is a force that suddenly appeared on the Northern Azure Continent a year ago. Its predecessor was the Tian You Merchant Guild, which was second only to the Three Major Merchant Guilds on the Northern Azure Continent."

"I just don't know why the Tian You Merchant Guild changed its name." The student looked suspicious as he said this.

"However, since the Tian You Merchant Guild was renamed the Han Yi Merchant Guild, the entire Chamber of Commerce has developed rapidly, directly snatching a quarter of the Northern Azure Continent market from the encirclement and suppression of the Three Major Merchant Guilds."

"Not only that..."

The student said enviously, "The Han Yi Merchant Guild has something Array Disc. The Spirit Array engraved on it are extremely powerful and more convenient than ordinary Spirit Array Talisman. However, they are rare and too expensive, so not many people can afford them."

"It is said that when the Han Yi Merchant Guild first appeared, it seemed to have held a Small Auction only Supreme experts could attend, which even attracted many experts from other continents, but no information about the content has been leaked."

The students were somewhat disappointed; missing out on such a gathering of powerful individuals would be a lifelong regret.

When the student stopped his musings and looked up, he saw that everyone's eyes were fixed on him. The strange sight made him swallow hard.

"Kid, you know quite a lot!" Xiao Han said in surprise.

Other information aside, although the establishment of the Han Yi Merchant Guild was not a grand affair, it did rise to power by stepping on the Tian You Merchant Guild, so the information could more or less reach the Northern Azure Spiritual Academy.

But that Small Auction quite secretive. The requirement of the Supreme Realm strength directly blocked most possibilities. There were only about thirty people in the entire auction, and Supreme Realm experts would not talk about it casually. How could they get the news?

The trainee shrank back and chuckled sheepishly, "My family works in intelligence, so we're a bit better informed."

"I see..." Xiao Han said meaningfully, "Let's go, today I'll show you the true face of the Han Yi Merchant Guild."

The tone, threatening to double-cross them, was incredibly intimidating. The student's legs trembled slightly, and he said in a trembling voice, "Elder, I will keep my mouth shut!"

"I promise!"

Seeing the student hastily hold up three fingers, Xiao Han chuckled and said:

"I didn't intend to silence you, what are you panicking about?"

"Yes, yes, yes..." the student hurriedly replied, silently wiping the cold sweat from his temples with his sleeve.

"Your name is Li Tianqiong, right?" Xiao Han put his hand on the student's shoulder and asked kindly.

"That's right." Li Tianqiong straightened his body and stood at attention.

"Such a domineering name, how come you're so timid?" Xiao Han clicked his tongue and teased.

"This..." Li Tianqiong scratched his head and said matter-of-factly:

"After all, it's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death. I haven't lived enough yet."

"You're a real talent!" Xiao Han's lips twitched as he gave Li Tianqiong a thumbs up. There weren't many people who could so confidently admit that they were afraid of death. Look at the dumbfounded looks on the other students' faces; they were clearly shocked by the other's statement.

"However, I can't guarantee you won't die this time." Xiao Han revealed a malicious smile, and the six students trembled slightly.

"I hope you survive!"

Before anyone could react, Xiao Han unleashed several streams of Spiritual Power, swiftly knocking them off the Altar. They were then swallowed by the vortex amidst the panic.

About ten minutes later, a streak of Flowing Light flashed from afar, landed in front of Xiao Han, revealed its form, and respectfully said:

"President!"

The newcomer was Yang Qianshan, the Vice Guild Master and a second- Supreme Realm expert. The identity of Xiao Han, whom he addressed in such a way, was self-evident.

"Hmm." Xiao Han nodded faintly. "Has anyone come looking for trouble lately?"

"Are those three chambers of Chamber of Commerce still behaving themselves?"

"Reporting to the president, those people haven't caused any trouble lately."

Yang Qianshan smiled and said:

"After all, your strength, President, is unmatched by others."

Xiao Han was already immune to the compliments from others. He casually tossed out a ring, "This is a new batch of Array Disc. Same as usual!"

"Yes."

"Keep a close eye on these students from the Northern Azure Spiritual Academy, lest something really happens to them," Xiao Han instructed.

Although Xiao Han said that life and death were up to fate, he didn't really intend to let them fend for themselves.

"Yes."

"Is there anything else?" Xiao Han asked before leaving.

Upon hearing this, Yang Qianshan hesitated for a moment before saying hesitantly, "There is something I truly do not know how to handle."

"Oh?" Xiao Han was surprised. Yang Qianshan was no ordinary person; at least he was quite capable in managing his influence.

Back then, the other party, as a staff member of the Tian You Merchant Guild, almost single-handedly brought the former to an extremely high level. The reason why it could not compare with the Three Major Merchant Guilds was simply because the Tian You Merchant Guild was too weak in terms of military strength. This was a difference in physical strength, and it was impossible for it to be allowed to develop to that level.

Subsequently, the conflict between Yang Qianshan and the senior management of the Tian You Merchant Guild intensified, causing the development of the Tian You Merchant Guild to stagnate.

After destroying the Tian You Merchant Guild, Xiao Han deliberately spared Yang Qianshan's life and even helped him advance to the Supreme Realm, precisely because of his abilities.

He was genuinely curious about something that could cause even Yang Qianshan trouble.

"Recently, the Han Yi Merchant Guild's business on other continents has encountered some obstacles," Yang Qianshan said with a somewhat annoyed expression.

If it were before, Xiao Han would not have been surprised if Han Yi Merchant Guild had faced resistance from other forces. After all, in other continents, Han Yi Merchant Guild was indeed just an outsider. If they wanted to snatch a piece of the pie from the other side, they would naturally not be treated with courtesy.

But at the auction, Xiao Han had almost established connections with the Supreme Realm experts of the surrounding continents and offered many benefits. Could there be people who take the money but do nothing?

Did they think he was weak and easily bullied, and couldn't handle a knife?

Seeing that Xiao Han's expression was off, Yang Qianshan remembered something and explained, "President, it's not a problem with those people."

"It's other forces."

"Other forces?" Xiao Han's tone was subtle. There were only a few Supreme Realm experts back then, not them. How could those forces that didn't even have Supreme Realm experts threaten the development of the Han Yi Merchant Guild?

"It's a force called the Limitless Sect on the Heaven Rain Continent."

Yang Qianshan's expression was calm, even slightly sarcastic, "It is said that the Limitless Sect seems to be a force that was driven out of the Commerce Continent."

"This is interesting..."

"Do the forces from the Commerce Continent dare to come here and try to get a share of the pie? Haven't the forces from the Heaven Rain Continent made a move?" Xiao Han said with amusement.

Although the Commerce Continent is renowned Great Thousand World for its commerce and its strength far surpasses that of places like the Northern Azure Continent, it is nothing more than a homeless dog that has been driven out. Why would the local forces be afraid of them?

"President, the Limitless Sect is quite strong, with about three Supreme Realm experts."

"Moreover, the forces of the Heaven Rain Continent seem to be content to sit back and watch the tigers fight, and have not intervened."

Although Xiao Han had already established a good relationship, he only asked the other party not to hinder the expansion of the Han Yi Merchant Guild on other continents, without asking for their help.

Heaven Rain Continent was naturally unwilling to give up its share of profits for nothing. Therefore, it was estimated that the Limitless Sect was just a tool in the hands of those forces, specifically used to annoy the Han Yi Merchant Guild. Yang Qianshan saw this very clearly.

However, despite this, the three Supreme of the Limitless Sect are still quite formidable. The Han Yi Merchant Guild, apart from Xiao Han, only has Yang Qianshan, a Supreme Realm, who is also located outside the Northern Azure Continent. Therefore, they are indeed no match for the other side.

"Watching from the sidelines? Those forces have quite a few ulterior motives." Xiao Han also understood Yang Qianshan's implication. At the same time, he added those forces to his blacklist in his mind, planning to eliminate them when the Han Yi Merchant Guild grew stronger.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Han flicked his wrist and shot out five black Flowing Light. By the time Yang Qianshan came to his senses, five puppets exuding terrifying power appeared before him.

"One Eighth Rank, two Sixth Rank, and two Fourth Rank —control of them is now transferred to you. Clearing out the Limitless Sect shouldn't be a problem, right?" Xiao Han's tone was calm, yet it sent a shiver down Yang Qianshan's spine. He quickly replied:

"No problem."

With a smirk, Yang Qianshan, who casually summoned five powerful Supreme Realm Puppet, once again felt fortunate for his past pragmatism.

"That's settled then."

When Yang Qianshan raised his head again, Xiao Han's figure had already disappeared from the main hall.

"This is a good deal." Yang Qianshan was in a great mood. He put away the puppet and began to formulate a plan to clean up the Limitless Sect and deter other forces.
