Chapter 1138: Accepting a Mission in a Time of Crisis
After returning to Fumanju, Xiao Mian met Zhen Lingzi.
After telling Zhen Lingzi about some cooperation plans with Xie Ying, Xiao Mian also told everyone some matters that should be paid attention to.
As for the specific matters, let Zhen Lingzi and others do it.
If Xiao Mian had to do everything himself, Xiao Mian would not have to practice!
As for the loyalty of Zhen Lingzi and others, Xiao Mian absolutely believed in it - to put it another way, even if Zhen Lingzi and others betrayed collectively, what would happen?
Xiao Mian was confident enough to retreat unscathed and then kill the other party.
After handling these mundane affairs, Xiao Mian in the quiet room was in a daze.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the Beidou Si Nan Pan vibrated quietly. When he took it out and looked at it, Xiao Mian looked slightly stunned, just because the person who contacted him was actually Kong Yuanren!
"Brother Yuanren? How are you?"
"Brother Xiao! Yuanren has arrived safely in Tianxia City, Chu County!"
"Okay! Yuanren, are you leaving Tianxia City and returning to Nanyue?"
"Yes! Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce just happened to have a batch of materials planned to be shipped to Nanyue, and they are planning to set up a branch in Wanzong City. They allowed me to take a ride!"
"That's great! By the way! Who will lead the people who are traveling to Nanyue this time?"
"I heard that it's the eldest lady of the Chilian family!"
"Is it her? Yes! Throughout the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce, except for Xie Ying, I'm afraid only this eldest sister has been to Nanyue Province. Her identity is impeccable..." Speaking of Here, Xiao Mian's heart moved, and he quietly asked: "Brother Yuanren, do you know: Among the people that Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce has transferred to Nanyue Province, is there one named Guo Kai?"
"Guo Kai? This..."
"This matter is not urgent! Yuanren, you are in Tianxia City, living under someone else's roof. Some things can be discussed after returning to Nanyue. But if you see Guo Kai in Nanyue Province, Brother Yuanren might as well take care of him. He is a chess piece I left in Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce."
"You! When did you..."
Although Kong Yuanren was far away in Tianxia City, the shock in his words made Xiao Mian shake his head - this Confucian boy is too upright after all!
"Old Kong! Don't have the intention to harm others, but be on guard against others. Only say three-tenths of what you say to others, and don't give your heart to them completely! If you really need Guo Kai in the future, just mention my name to him, and by the way, mention Bailian Chengxian Tower!"
"......, Yuanren will learn from you!"
"I only hope that Xiao will return to Nanyue in the future and see a brand new look!"
"I, Kong Yuanren, will not let Brother Xiao and you down!"
After that, the two cut off contact.
This means that Kong Yuanren will return to Nanyue State with the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce's fleet soon, and the contact between him and Xiao Mian will be temporarily interrupted.
Exhaling a breath of turbid air, Xiao Mian gathered his thoughts.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the Beidou Si Nan Pan trembled again.
Taking it out, it was Xie Ying who came to Xiao Mian this time.
This fat fox!
I just came back from Tongbao Pavilion, why did he look for me?
Could it be that there is any clue about the Ice and Fire Demon Palace?
Thinking of this, Xiao Mian connected the contact.
"Brother! Something happened! Something big happened!"
"What happened?"
"A fleet of our Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce was hijacked!"
"What!?"
This time, even Xiao Mian was shocked.
Although Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce does not belong to the Nine Holy Lands, in the eyes of ordinary cultivators, Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce is even more respected than some holy lands.
Because, for ordinary cultivators, they may never have any intersection with the Nine Holy Lands in their entire lives, but the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce, which is rich in the world, is a behemoth that they can't get around.
What's more, Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce is led by Shancai Tongzun, one of the Ten Heavenly Venerables of Zhongzhou.
A few years ago, because of the incident of the Three Gods Temples in the East China Sea, Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce rebounded strongly.
That incident was known to everyone.
In the following years, the five states of the world were in awe of Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce.
Who dared to hijack the caravan of Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce?
Could it be...
"The Three Temples of the East Sea!"
"I don't know yet! But they are undoubtedly the most suspicious!"
"..., do you need my help?"
Xiao Mian volunteered, not just for show.
Given his relationship with Xie Ying and Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce, it would be too unkind if he didn't care about such a big thing.
What's more, Xiao Mian is now in charge of Jiantian Order and lives in Fumanju under the name of Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce. If he only takes advantage and doesn't help, even Xiao Mian himself will despise himself.
After hearing what Xiao Mian said, Xie Ying was obviously relieved.
"Brother! This time, I'm afraid you have to do it!"
At that moment, Xie Ying told Xiao Mian the specific situation.
It turned out that this caravan belonging to Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce started from the Huaxia territory located west of Tiandu City, and the destination was Tiandu City!
When the caravan reached the border between Huaxia Territory and Tiandu City, it sent out a signal of being attacked, and then the caravan lost contact.
The Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce in Huaxia Territory sent reinforcements at the first time and rushed to the place where the distress signal was sent.
However, when the reinforcements arrived, they saw nothing but a mess.
A Xuan-level treasure ship belonging to the caravan, along with the materials and personnel escorted by the caravan, all disappeared, leaving only traces of the tragic battle.
After that, the people of the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce conducted a large-scale search of the nearby area, but still found nothing, so they reported it to the headquarters of the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce - Tianxia City!
The news about Xie Ying came from Tianxia City.
"You can't see people alive, but you can't see corpses after death? Brother! The matter is urgent, you must send Yuanying Ancestor to come forward to solve it quickly! In Tongbao Pavilion..."
"There are three Nascent Soul Ancestors sitting in Tongbao Pavilion!" Interrupting Xiao Mian's words, Xie Ying smiled bitterly: "One of them is in retreat, seeking a breakthrough, and cannot be disturbed without permission, but the other two must stay in Tongbao permanently. I don’t care if anyone dares to act recklessly in Tiandu City, but this is the rule of our Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce!”
"What about Chu County Tianxia City? Can't we send someone over?"
"When the accident happened to the caravan, the Huaxia branch did not report it immediately. It was not until their reinforcements arrived at the scene that they found nothing and could no longer hide it. Then they notified the Tianxia City headquarters. Therefore, the headquarters only got the news a little earlier than I did. It is certainly possible to dispatch the Nascent Soul Ancestor from the headquarters, but the problem is: the teleportation array is closed!"
"Teleportation array? Teleportation array in Tiandu City? What a coincidence!?"
"Who knows! In short, Tiandu City's explanation is that the long-distance teleportation array is temporarily unavailable - as for how long this 'temporary' is, I don't know!"
"Where is the Chinese branch?"
"I'll tell you the truth, brother: I heard that the reinforcements sent by our Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce from the Huaxia Territory were led by a Nascent Soul Ancestor!"
"This...Nascent Soul Ancestor can't find any clues. I'm a golden elixir monk...what do you want me to do?"
Xiao Mian was quite dumbfounded.
"Brother, please give it a try! I know your abilities, and maybe we can find some clues - and more importantly: you have experience!"
"Brother is saying..."
"Three Temples of the East China Sea! You have experience in dealing with them!" At this point, Xie Ying sighed secretly: "We, the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce, have been comfortable for too long! Not to mention ordinary Jindan monks, just some Nascent Souls The ancestor only knows how to talk loudly and talk loudly, and let them do serious things, but they are more cowardly than the other! Brothers, just show your confidence and style as a supervisor!"
"..., Brother is asking me to offend the ancestor of Nascent Soul!"
"Brother, I also know that this matter is a bit difficult! But..."
"Okay! Time is tight. If you delay for a moment, your personnel will be in greater danger. Please transmit the specific information to me through the Beidou Division Nanpan!"
"Brother! I cannot thank you enough for your kindness!"
At that moment, Xiao Mian hung up the contact with Xie Ying, and then the Beidou Division's Nanpan received various information transmitted by Xie Ying.
After glancing at it, Xiao Mian took it all in and stored it in his heart.
Suddenly standing up, Xiao Mian turned into a wind shadow and disappeared...
After finding Lingzi, Xiao Mian asked him to contact Wen Tianxiu and Rakshasa.
After that, Xiao Mian walked out of the south gate of Tiandu City. On a high ground outside the south gate, Xiao Mian waited for a while and saw Wen Tianxiu and Rakshasa who had arrived late.
Throwing out the Nanzhao, a group of three people entered it.
Nan Zhao called and turned into light and left.
It was during the Nanzhao call that Xiao Mian briefly told the two of them the current situation of the matter.
"Although this matter is my private matter, Mr. Xiao, it is related to the diplomatic relations with Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce after all. Now I, Jingzhe, must have a request from Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce. If I can take the opportunity to show my favor to the other party, I will be better than the thousands of spirits." It's much more useful!" As he spoke, Xiao Mian glanced at Wen Tianxiu and Luo Sha and smiled lightly: "Of course, as the leader of Jingzhe Battle Hall, I also want to see if you are qualified! A quota, let’s use this experience to determine the final candidate for the battle hall leader!”
Jingzhe was divided into two parts by Xiao Mian - the outer hall and the inner hall!
The outer hall, also known as the battle hall, as the name suggests, is full of fighting monks such as Wen Tianxiu and Rakshasa.
These two people are the leaders of the war hall.
Just as Xiao Mian said, he did not fail to pass this matter to test the two people's cultivation, character, adaptability, and strategy, and then select a war hall leader.
Wen Tianxiu and Rakshasa looked at each other with different expressions after hearing this.
After that, the three of them fell into silence, while Nan Zhao shouted and galloped away.
Moreover, judging from the information transmitted by Xie Ying, the place where the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce's caravan happened was close to Tiandu City, but it was still in the Chinese territory.
In the extreme west of Tiandu City, there is a pass that is similar to the Oriental Longkou Rock, called Huya Pass!
The place where the caravan's accident happened was outside Huya Pass, thousands of miles away.
In other words, the caravan is almost entering Tiandu City...
There is no teleportation array built in this kind of place.
Thinking about it, the other party also took this into consideration and chose to start here.
The place where the accident occurred is called Wolongpo!
Because of Nan Zhaohao's extreme speed, Xiao Mian and the others left Huya Pass and arrived at Wolong Po in just a few hours.
With Xiao Mian's current status and the seal of the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce, it is not difficult to pass through the tiger's teeth - Tiandu City has always been strict and easy!
Before the three of them walked out of Nanzhao, someone came to the door.
There were more than a dozen Jindan cultivators, and the leader was a quasi-Nascent Soul cultivator. He surrounded Xiao Mian and the others on the spot with great momentum.
"Who is coming? Tell me your name!"
"..."
Xiao Mian was silent.
Wen Tianxiu and Rakshasa looked at each other, both at a loss.
They really don't know how to introduce their identities - it's hard to say that they were originally ANBU members, but now they are the backbone of Jingzhe, right?
With this delay, the leading quasi-Nascent Soul cultivator looked gloomy.
"Hmph! Judging from the direction you are coming from, you should be cultivators from Tiandu City, right? The light that escaped just now should not be a flying boat, but a treasure ship! And it is a Xuan-level treasure ship! Looking at your cultivation, you are all quasi-Nascent Soul cultivators! Are you cultivators from the sect of Tiandu City? I just don't know which sect you are from. Could it be that you are here to see my Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce make a fool of itself?"
"Daoyou misunderstood! We..."
As soon as Wen Tianxiu opened his mouth, Xiao Mian shook his head.
The other party had a preconceived idea. The more polite Wen Tianxiu was, the more domineering the other party would become.
Sure enough, before Wen Tianxiu could explain a few more words, the quasi-Nascent Soul cultivator suddenly attacked.
Although the other party had only one quasi-Nascent Soul cultivator, Xiao Mian had three, but it was obvious that they didn't think so - they relied on their numbers!
The quasi-Nascent Soul cultivator had already launched an offensive against Wen Tianxiu who had spoken without authorization.
At the same time, the remaining dozen Jindan cultivators surrounded Xiao Mian and Luosha. It was clear that they wanted to capture them together.
Humph!
It seems that what the fat fox said was right!
These people from Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce are really brainless!
Do they think that they can do whatever they want just because they have more people?
Besides, the most urgent task is to find the whereabouts of the trapped companions as soon as possible, but they just had a disagreement and fought with Xiao Mian and the other two.
Even if they won, it would be a waste of time.
The question is-did they win?
Just when Wen Tianxiu was forced to fight with the quasi-Yuanying cultivator of Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce, and Luosha was surrounded by the other side, Xiao Mian moved.
Since you chose to surround me, Xiao, it means that you have regarded me as an enemy. In this case, there is nothing to say!
