Chapter 207 Contradictions and Observations
The vast sea, huge waves.
A fleet of dozens of large and small ocean-going ships, sailing on the boundless waves, with a distant perspective, not even a few small leaves can be counted, and the entire fleet will be completely swallowed up by any wave. Xu Qingyang and others used to think that the sea was just like this, and they had long been accustomed to life on the sea, but now they no longer have such an idea.
"Xu Daoyou, everyone, we are about to leave the offshore waters and enter the deep sea..."
On a giant ship over a hundred feet long, Feng Sanniang talked freely facing the waves, and everyone's eyes were both excited and a little dazed.
The blue sea water gradually disappeared and turned into a dark and deep tone.
The so-called shallow sea refers to the jurisdiction of the archipelago. They have been walking for half a month and are completely out of the waters of Kuixing Island. After watching for a while, Xin Ruyin, Xiaomei and others gradually lost interest, and after a few words, they returned to the cabin to rest. Xu Qingyang held the fence and talked about business with Feng Sanniang facing the waves.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, if you can open up some channels this time, my Liulian Hall will always be your backer."
Xu Qingyang nodded: "Thank you, I didn't ask before, is it the intention of Elder Miao's branch or the intention of your main hall?"
"It was Elder Miao who insisted, and the main hall also supported..."
"Fellow Daoist Xu may not know that although my Liulian Hall is a first-class business in the Chaos Star Sea, it has always been suppressed. Several times we tried to enter the Inner Star Island, we were rejected by the forces of the Inner Star Island, mainly the four major business alliances, which regarded the Inner Star Island as their own territory and would never allow foreign forces to touch it. We are too big, and a single move will affect the whole body. For many years, we can only stay in one place. The hardships are not worth telling to outsiders..."
Not to mention whether it is difficult or not, Liulian Hall is indeed unable to enter the Inner Star Island on a large scale.
The so-called Inner Star Island corresponds to the core area of Chaos Star Sea, which is also the most prosperous and vast area. It is divided into four areas, twelve star islands, which are directly governed by the Star Palace. In this area, the Star Palace has the strongest ruling power, and the four major business alliances have a close relationship with the Star Palace.
During the heyday of the Star Palace, it was overwhelming and suppressed.
During this period, the four major business alliances, backed by the Star Palace, extended their tentacles to most areas of the outer star islands, and squeezed the living space of local forces. Their behavior was extremely overbearing. On the one hand, they robbed the living space of local forces, and on the other hand, they excluded and suppressed them from developing to the Inner Star Island, almost excluding them from the entire system.
This is equivalent to suppressing the local forces to death, so that they can neither survive and grow in their hometowns, nor develop in the other's territory.
Conflicts and contradictions were buried, and local forces were full of resentment.
When the power of the Star Palace finally began to decline, just like the ebb and flow of the tide, local forces gradually rose up. When they grew to a certain extent, they had the idea of expelling the power of the Star Palace represented by the four major business alliances, and the local overlords all over the world were also ambitious and eager to get rid of the situation of being controlled by others. So a broad alliance gradually took shape, and as its strength became stronger, its ambition grew step by step.
This is the underlying root that Xu Qingyang sorted out after observing the Chaos Star Sea for many years and combining it with the conflicts between the camps in the later period.
There is no conflict without reason in the world's general situation. Practicing peacefully is everyone's basic need, but once it involves a dispute over interests, no one can escape in the end.
Based on this observation, Xu Qingyang determined the development strategy with the Six-Link Palace.
The Six-Link Palace and the local large forces are not yet fully prepared for the final confrontation. They also want to extend their power to the Inner Star Island to gain more room for development. As far as the Six-Link Palace is concerned. The size is too large. Once entering, it will usher in collective suppression. On the contrary, Xu Qingyang is penniless in the Chaos Star Sea, and no one will pay attention.
If he could find a suitable force in the inner star sea for deep cooperation, he could enter the inner star island waters in a relatively covert manner.
Regardless of success or failure, Liulian Temple would not mind investing.
The specific investment is part of this fleet, such as the mid-level magic weapon ship under his feet, and the various local goods on it, which is the first investment he obtained by mortgaging the income of the Broken Heart Islands to Liulian Temple. He will use this local specialty to open up sales and procurement channels in the inner star island.
And Feng Sanniang is the assistant sent by Liulian Temple to him.
To put it simply, it can be regarded as the "general manager" sent by Liulian Temple to supervise and work after Liulian Temple invested in his company, and accept the dual leadership of him and Liulian Temple.
If it is done well, there will be additional investment later.
Xu Qingyang wanted to use the resources and manpower of the Six-Link Palace to develop his own family. Another reason was to find a backer for himself and his forces. As he was about to enter the high-end level, he would encounter many conflicts that he could not resist. At this time, if there was no large force like the Six-Link Palace to protect him, he could only learn from Han Li to be a lone wolf, either running away or on the way to run away.
He didn't have a small green bottle. If he ran away from Han Li, wouldn't he be in trouble?
Xu Qingyang was very satisfied with Feng Sanniang's answer. With the attitude of the Six-Link Palace, he could openly use the tiger skin when encountering threats at the high-end level next time.
After sailing for another half a month, the fleet docked at a nearby main island.
In the fleet, most of the merchant ships will separate here. They are all for safety. They took advantage of Xu Qingyang's fleet and paid protection fees. Liulian Hall has branches all over the southwest sea area. After docking, they learned that they had two Jindan to suppress the ship and a large number of high-end combat forces to escort. They asked where the next route was going. Many merchant ships immediately joined. After the new fleet was formed, they continued to set off.
Go all the way and do business all the way, without delaying anything.
Specific affairs are handled by Feng Sanniang and her disciples. Xu Qingyang basically doesn't show up unless there are safety issues. Before leaving the southwest sea area, there is a sign of Liulian Hall. This kind of problem is almost difficult to encounter. The most dangerous is not people, but the hidden monsters in the deep sea area.
In the ocean trade of Chaos Star Sea, the most dangerous are these deep-sea monsters.
Once they can't handle it, the whole army will be annihilated, because in the deep sea, land is often not seen for thousands of miles. The sea surface is often raging with large-scale winds and huge waves. People with lower cultivation can't fly out and have no place to stay.
In the following months, Xu Qingyang and others witnessed all these natural disasters.
After stopping and starting along the way and experiencing many storms, they finally changed their appearance and quietly entered the waters of the Inner Star Island after half a year. When they arrived at the Inner Star Island, the flag of the Six-Link Hall needed to be hidden. After sailing for two months, they came to a strait, and Xu Qingyang encountered a small accident.
This accident was not caused by them, but a conflict occurred on their route.
Everyone used their spiritual eyes to watch from a distance for a while. One of the parties was about to fall into disadvantage. Xu Qingyang thought: "The wind is coming, don't go around, just go straight!"
