162: No mercy

Tianwu Chamber of Commerce Headquarters.

Chen Jundong sat in the main seat with a gloomy expression, and a young man and woman were standing before him.

The young girl had a beautiful face, but at this moment she was tearful, her eyes filled with tears, and she choked out, "Father, just agree to let us be together!"

"You scoundrel, what's so good about this kid? With merely the cultivation level of the first layer of the Emperor Realm, what qualifications does he have to marry Chen Jundong's daughter?" Chen Jundong's eyes widened in anger, veins bulging on his face from fury, and he shouted sternly.

"Uncle Chen, please believe me, I will definitely take good care of Yuxin." The young man looked sincere, his eyes full of pleading.

"Just based on you? You want to marry Chen Jundong's daughter? That's simply a joke." Chen Jundong's face was full of disdain, his eyes filled with contempt.

Just then, an Elder of the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce rushed in with a hurried expression and panicked footsteps, saying urgently, "President, things are looking bad!"

Chen Jundong's face sank, his brows furrowed tightly, and he scolded, "What is it? Being so flustered, what kind of decorum is this?"

"President, a major incident has occurred. Just now, our scouts sent a Sound Transmission: Yang Lingchen has wiped out the Wuji Sword Sect, and Situ Canglan and Situ Batian were killed on the spot by him." The Elder said anxiously, speaking at a very fast pace.

"Is this true?"

Chen Jundong stood up abruptly; he was still somewhat skeptical about this sudden news.

After all, Situ Batian of the Wuji Sword Sect was a powerful existence who had entered the Half-step God Realm; how could he be killed so easily?

"President, it has been confirmed. This news has spread like a gale across the entire Central Domain." The Elder quickly said, his forehead covered in beads of sweat.

"How did this kid's cultivation level improve so quickly? This is too bizarre!"

Chen Jundong's face became incredibly ugly, so gloomy it seemed like water could drip from it.

"President, do you think we should make preparations early, just in case?"

The Elder asked cautiously, a trace of worry in his eyes.

"Call over all the top experts who have owed us favors over these years; it is time for them to repay their debts." Chen Jundong said with a firm gaze, gritting his teeth.

"Additionally, notify the Old Ancestor immediately, and issue external missions. Recruit a large number of Loose Cultivator Saints. For those whose cultivation level reaches the eighth layer of the Saint Realm or above, we can provide large amounts of Spirit Stones and Medicinal Pills for them to Cultivate." Chen Jundong continued, a flash of ruthlessness in his eyes.

"Yes, President." The Elder said and hurried out, not daring to delay in the slightest.

"Little Bastard, how can the heritage of my Tianwu Chamber of Commerce be compared to the Wuji Sword Sect? If you dare to come, I will ensure you never return." Chen Jundong clenched his fists, silently vowing.

At this moment, Chen Jundong turned his head to look at his daughter and the young man, saying, "Kid, don't you like Yuxin? I agree to it, now take her and leave!"

"Father, I will not leave. Your daughter will absolutely not leave the Family in its time of crisis." Chen Yuxin said with a determined face, her eyes full of stubbornness.

"Xin'er, the Family will be fine! You must go! Go as far away as possible." Chen Jundong's voice was low, carrying a trace of helplessness and determination.

"No, your daughter will absolutely not leave." Chen Yuxin said loudly, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Bang...!"

Chen Jundong struck the back of Chen Yuxin's head with his palm, and she immediately fainted.

"Kid, Yuxin is now in your hands. If I ever find out that you dare to bully Yuxin, I will surely exterminate your entire clan." Chen Jundong's face was icy, his voice filled with a heavy threat.

"Uncle Chen, rest assured, I will definitely take good care of Yuxin." The young man said with a firm gaze and solemnity.

"Go!" Chen Jundong waved his hand, then turned his head away, no longer looking at them.

...

The news of Yang Lingchen wiping out the Wuji Sword Sect spread like a storm throughout the entire Central Domain Divine Land in an instant.

At this moment, he was taking Dugu Yueya on a Sword Flight, speeding all the way toward the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce Headquarters.

The Tianwu Chamber of Commerce was the largest chamber of commerce on the Tianwu Continent, and its branches were spread like stars across every corner where the Human Race resided.

Even in the remote, martial-arts-backward Northern Profound Region, the shadow of the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce existed.

The history of the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce was long-standing and extremely ancient.

On the Tianwu Continent, there was a saying: "The iron-clad Chamber of Commerce, the flowing Empire," meaning that no matter how the continent changed dynasties or how the eras shifted, the status of the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce remained as solid as a rock, never shaken in the slightest.

But today, Yang Lingchen had arrived, and he came with the determination to wipe out the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce.

Just then, Yang Lingchen's sound transmission talisman lit up, and Ouyang Yunfei's urgent voice came through: "Brother-in-law, Chen Jundong has found many experts to ambush at the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce; you must not come."

"Why would Yunfei be at the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce?" Yang Lingchen wondered, but he did not stop his advance, instead continuing his Sword Flight in the direction of the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce.

With his current cultivation level, even if he encountered a Demon Emperor, he would have the confidence to fight, let alone the mere Tianwu Chamber of Commerce.

Flying all the way, a day passed in the blink of an eye.

After a day of flight, Yang Lingchen finally arrived at Saint Martial City, which was also the location of the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce Headquarters.

Under the guidance of Dugu Yueya, Yang Lingchen flew directly above the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce.

"In a quarter of an hour, those who remain in the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce will be killed without mercy." Yang Lingchen's voice, like a great bell, resounded throughout the entire Saint Martial City.

"What an arrogant kid, we will just stay in the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce, what can you do about it?"

A middle-aged man with a scarred face and fierce eyes jumped out, looking provocatively at Yang Lingchen.

"Since you like being the first bird to be shot so much, then go die!"

Yang Lingchen's mouth curled into a cold smile, and a trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes.

He saw the immortal demon sword in his hand slash down instantly; the Sword Qi cut through the Void Realm, carrying a dazzling white light, and flashed instantly across the Scar-faced Man's neck.

"Gurgle..., gurgle..."

The Scar-faced Man's head slowly fell to the ground, rolling several times before stopping.

Immediately, the scene fell into a deathly silence; those Loose Cultivators who were preparing to clamor instantly became silent, and no one dared to be the first bird to be shot again.

"President Chen, apologies, I have some business at home, I will take my leave first."

A tall and thin middle-aged man cupped his fists toward Chen Jundong, then greased his heels and quickly left the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce.

The main reason was that the deterrent power of the sword strike Yang Lingchen had just unleashed was simply too great.

One must know, that Scar-faced Man's cultivation level was the ninth layer of the Saint Realm! And he was a notorious fierce person in the Loose Cultivator circle, an existence who had killed countless people in his life.

"President Chen, my stomach is a bit uncomfortable, I will take my leave first."

"President Chen, I'm on my period, I need to go back for a bit, I'll be right back!"

"President Chen, my mother-in-law's dog, Wangcai, is missing, I'm going back to look for it."

In less than a moment, the Loose Cultivators of the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce had run away completely.

These Loose Cultivators were smart people, and also very realistic; although the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce offered high compensation, one had to be alive to spend it!

At this moment, Chen Jundong's face was livid, ugly to the extreme.

Fortunately, none of the experts who owed him favors had left, otherwise he would have been spitting blood from anger.

"Time is up, kill without mercy."

Yang Lingchen's eyes turned cold, his figure turned into an afterimage like a ghost, and he rushed into the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce Headquarters with the force of a thunderbolt.

"Whoever kills him, fifty million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones will be theirs." Chen Jundong roared, trying to use the high bounty to motivate everyone.

As Chen Jundong finished speaking, several experts at the ninth layer of the Saint Realm all rushed toward Yang Lingchen.

Facing the oncoming Saints, Yang Lingchen showed no fear, waving his hand to slash out several streaks of Sword Qi.

The Sword Qi cut through the Void Realm, carrying an incredibly sharp Aura, and instantly swept across the necks of these few Saints.
