A Leaf Flute Melody Shook the Entire City

As night fell, the Hundred Beasts City was bustling with noise.

Inside the Thousand-Li Journey Trading Company, a group of veterans sat around a round table, beginning to analyze the current situation.

Although they were called elders, apart from the withered-looking old man sitting in the main seat who appeared to be on his deathbed, the others were all exceptionally young and did not fit the description of elders at all.

"Second brother, which faction do you think we should hand over this hot potato to?"

"It was said by a young man who was eighteen or nineteen years old."

The second brother, who was in the lead, was just a man in his early twenties, but compared to children from ordinary families, he was more composed and mature.

"Let's give it to the City Lord's Mansion, but we have to present it in front of everyone, otherwise we'll have given it away for nothing."

After speaking, the second brother fell into deep thought again.

"Cough, cough..."

The old man sitting in the main seat coughed a few times. "As far as I know, the city lord's birthday is in seven days. How about our Thousand-Li Journey Trading Company presents that treasure to him then?"

"My godfather's insight is brilliant."

Upon hearing this, the second brother's brow immediately relaxed. "Having an elder in the family is like having a treasure," this saying is indeed true.

It was all because of that treasure that their Thousand-Li Journey Trading Company suffered heavy losses. Only a few of the older generation of cultivators remained, and even their adoptive father was barely clinging to life. Now, the entire trading company doesn't even have a single cultivator capable of fighting True Fate Realm cultivator.

To outsiders, their business was like a piece of fat meat, open to anyone who could take a bite.

"Cough... cough..."

The old man coughed twice more and slowly said, "What I'm most worried about now is that those guys hiding in the shadows won't give our trading company this opportunity."

"It's all our fault for being too greedy back then, which has sown the seeds of today's disaster. If things get out of control, you should all run for your lives."

Upon hearing this, the second brother quickly said, "Father, things haven't gotten to that point yet. As long as we work together, we'll definitely be able to overcome these difficulties."

"When we first came to this Hundred Beasts City, we didn't even have a single Dao Foundation cultivator. Yet, in just over ten years, we've built this foundation."

"Well..."

The old man sighed deeply, "I'm old, I'm old, I no longer have the ambition I used to have."

Just as the old man was sighing deeply, the sound of a leaf flute suddenly reached the ears of everyone present.

Several people seated at the table changed their expressions upon hearing the sound of the flute.

At first, he was surprised, then an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

The second brother muttered, "Did you hear that leaf flute sound?"

"I heard it, but how did that flute sound come from here?" The speaker was the young man who looked about eighteen or nineteen years old.

"Ninth Brother, come out with me and listen carefully," the Second Brother said.

"Well."

Old Nine, his face full of excitement, followed his Second Brother out of the secret room.

The sound of the leaf flute not only startled the monks of the Thousand-Li Journey Trading Company.

Moreover, it alarmed the leaders of the various forces in Hundred Beasts City.

Inside the city lord's mansion, a tiger demon wearing a black overcoat and with the character "king" appearing on his forehead suddenly stood up.

Who is playing the leaf flute?

As soon as he finished speaking, a Human Race cultivator dressed as a clerk strode in and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, the sound of this flute did not come from our city lord's mansion; it seems to have come from outside."

"Um?"

The city lord looked puzzled. Although there was no curfew in Hundred Beasts City, no one would openly display their strength.

He immediately released his divine sense to investigate the source of the sound; it wouldn't matter if he didn't investigate.

Just as his divine sense was about to find the source of the sound, he suddenly saw a huge chessboard.

The chessboard was like a world unto itself; even a cultivator at the True Fate Realm like him might not be able to gain any advantage by entering it.

"A powerful expert has entered Hundred Beasts City. I wonder if he's here for that item. Quickly have someone keep a close eye on him. Thousand Thousand-Li Journey Trading Company must not let that treasure fall into the wrong hands."

"Promise."

After the advisor acknowledged the order, he quickly left the main hall.

The leaders of the three gangs and five factions in the city made the same choice after hearing the sound of the leaf flute.

Thinking of that terrifying chessboard, they also made another preparation: they informed the forces behind the scenes about the changes in Hundred Beasts City.

We need a master to come and take charge of Hundred Beasts City.

The inn, room number one.

Chen Qianqian stood by the window, gently playing her leaf flute. The melodious sound captivated Bai Qian, who was standing nearby.

After the piece was finished, Bai Qian couldn't help but clap her hands. "Senior Sister played so beautifully, but your younger brothers and sisters haven't forgotten this piece, have they?"

Chen Qianqian smiled and said, "They shouldn't have forgotten. This was a promise we made back then. If they dare to forget it, I will definitely teach them a lesson."

Bai Qian said with a smile, "Your relationship with your younger siblings is so good, it's a pity I don't have any younger siblings."

You have us, don't you?

As Chen Qianqian spoke, she stepped forward and patted Bai Qian's little head. The two women then sat down at the table and savored their tea.

In the courtyard outside the secret room of the Thousand-Li Journey Trading Company.

The second brother and the ninth brother were stunned for a long time after listening to that song.

"Second brother, this seems to be the tune that our Big Sister taught us back then."

A clear, crisp female voice rang out, pulling the two back to reality from their shock.

The second brother said, "Eighth Sister, you're right. This is the very tune that Big Sister taught us. But isn't Big Sister cultivating at the Dao-Seeking Academy?"

I heard that those who cultivate in the sacred land cannot descend the mountain unless they become inner disciples. It's only been more than ten years, is it time for Big Sister to descend the mountain now?"

Eighth Sister said, "Why don't we go and investigate?"

The second brother nodded. "That's the only way."

The ninth brother's eyes lit up. "Second brother, you said that Big Sister, we don't have to hand over that treasure anymore? With Big Sister around, who would dare to bully us?"

"Shut up."

The second brother glared fiercely at the ninth brother and said sternly, "Ninth brother, this is our business. How can you drag the Big Sister into it? Even if the Big Sister really comes, you are not allowed to mention this matter in front of her."

"I see."

Although Lao Jiu said that, he had his own plans in mind.

The next morning, countless people throughout the city were searching for the source of the flute sound.

But soon the sound of the leaf flute rang out again, and the cultivators of the hundred races quickly discovered that the sound of the leaf flute was actually being played by a little Human Race girl.

In no time, news of the person playing the leaf flute at the Eight Directions Inn spread throughout the entire Hundred Clans City.

Upon receiving this news, all parties were completely baffled, because the girl was genuinely just playing the flute without any attempt at concealment.

Could it be that she really has no connection whatsoever with Thousand-Li Journey Trading Company?

Thousand-Li Journey Trading Company.

The second brother and the others gathered together to discuss how to go to the Eight Directions Inn to see their Big Sister.

After some discussion, everyone agreed to let Eighth Sister disguise herself and go to the Eight Directions Inn...
